>>572590726Balance update + new characters for a 30 year old game is a new record. Why is no one talking about this?
>>572590415Either Thursday or next week, regardless if we don’t get it during that time frame I’m killing myself, also strong chance it leaks before time like last time
>>572600072It's hard to talk about it without any specifics.We did speculate a bit about the origin of those sprites and what it means the last thread a for bit.Also, it might not be just a balance update. There is a possibility that it is rebuilt from the ground up using AoF3 assets, seeing as Code Mystics aren't involved and that it might be easier to do this rather than inject two new characters into the old game along with all the other changes.
>>572600072Because it’s a franchise nobody cares about and nobody asked for. This is just another example of SNK wasting their time and effort on something completely irrelevant.
>>572602801>Because it’s a franchise nobody cares about and nobody asked for. It does come to that for the most part, but I think it is a simplification. Also if you try hard enough, you can say that about everything that this thread is about, as evidenced by the buttmad shitposter.>This is just another example of SNK wasting their time and effort on something completely irrelevant.That is, however, incorrect for multiple reasons.1. It generates publicity for both the AoF brand and SNK. That is also the reason why it was chosen for SWC over something more common.2. It helps with training new hires to work with sprite based 2D games and teaches them to understand SNK visual style better3. It is an investment into back catalogue which is a nice way to get passive revenue. It also helps with data collection on whether doing more than just releasing the game is helpful.
>>572604830>It helps with training new hires to worka good plan>with sprite based 2D gamesversatility is always welcome even though they should also train more on their 3d>and teaches them to understand SNK visual style betteroh no
>>572605741Calm down, they are teaching them on AoF3, which is the best looking 2D game from the SNK and not on KoF12-13, which is puke in 2D form.
>>572584942The skin color edit was removed in the day 1 patch, meaning someone internally at snk told them to before any consumer got to complain.
>>572600039They act blasphemous toward religion thinking they’re free from laws and morality but will never dare say anything racist or homophobic. Such is goyim.
>>572607269they modeled their 3d (supposedly) based on nakata and or ogura's artworks and couldn't manage *that*
>>572610414Ogura's art is ass to begin with so that was their first mistake
>>572610971pls even if that was the case it looked more like they were trying to model their sculpts after this image instead
>>572611619What?
>>572610414They managed that part fine enough, the problem that making it also look good and not dated is a non-trivial task.Also what he said >>572610971
>>572611619Wow, Manon got a Monster Hunter Wilds skin
>>572612480>You see, bad looking realistic 3D is the same as cheap looking realistic-ish anime 3D. And modelling totally works like that, don't you know what sculpts are?You shouldn't take what the bad faith faggot says seriously, he's not above saying braindead shit as long as it is against SNK.
>>572618829I'm just confused because it might be one of the most ESL ass thing that's ever replied to me. It was COMPLETELY incomprehensible
>>572612767>They managed that part fine enoughif we're hopping off what i joked, then yes unironically>the problem that making it also look good and not datedotherwise, exactly, and it's (otherwise) hard to find out where "fine enough" comes into play here>>572620034hold on let me make it even more eslpls did that case was like that it looked like they were tries in model their sculpts by this image

>>572622618nice graphicsporn when
With sony and microsoft and nintendo shitting the bed, it’s time for SNK to go back to the console market. The prince has enough money to fund it
>>572624256Based idea, anon!Let's call it "NeoGeo One" because it will have only O N E G A M E
>>572624986and one buyer kek
>>572623404Nice, have they added Trevor yet?
I still don't get what the guy means by one game.
>>572632883I'm not surprised you don't get it. Understanding simple things isn't exactly a strength for people with a single digit IQ
>>572632883>I still don't get what the guy means by one game
Cute gay friends
>>572637237Sorry Angel but Leona already has a superior man. You never stood a chance
>>572638132Rip geitenkun
>>572635967>>572636381No, seriously. The most recent game like CotW is by default is one game, duh (though depending on definition they also support two other titles to different degrees and involved with other things like mobile games and re-releases, not to mention that we know about three more games in development).Why is the meme about PS5 is notable in the context of SNK? If there is nothing it's easily the most moronic forced meme that I've seen in /neog/ and that says something.
>>572637237Get back to /u/ faggit
>>572638132Isla... lost
>>572638598retard
>>572638598>mobile/gacha games, retro re-releases, in-development = 0 gamesEasy, no?
>>572607843You know what the crazy part is? It's not like less people would buy the game if skin edit was added back in, it could only bring in more people who like customization. Not only do I think they should add it back, they should open the color wheel for it so we can get stuff like blue skin nightmare geese
Puta is enjoying the world cup!
>>572638132This is the real superior man
>>572642627>Jang
>>572639428Sure, but my question is so what? What is that supposed gotcha implying?It's like if I'd say "Larian got... NO GAEMS". I'd be completely correct by the same definition, but that says nothing at all.SNK got ONE GAME, that they released just a year ago and actively support (though they also added two new characters to their previous one). And that is mocked for it being just one? I get criticizing "graphics", roster, guests, stupid DJ music collaborations, using AST of Mojo despite fucky music license, fucking up promotion, modern gameplay, the way alternate character archetypes are treated, but this isn't criticism, it's pure nonsense.
>>572642627You all are not ready for this lore.
>>572645754This was supposed to be new beggining so people are expecting more from snk because they have talked big time and have not deliver yet, cotw failed to captivate an audience and therefore they are falling to irrelevancy not for having just one game but promoting one game that not many people care about and putting all their effort to get people to play that single game rather than keep going, they haven’t show cero anything for a new game outside “we are working hard” meanwhile every other publisher have at least two things going while promoting future projects.
Oddly symmetrical CvS2 Yamazaki
>>572657263SNK delivered pretty much what they said they would from the beginning, a fighting game continuing from where MotW ended. Supposedly with pretty much everything people asked there to be, except for alternate skins and a more involved story mode that isn't EoST, I guess. "Surprisingly" no one cared, aside from the core audience that they already had and which still prefers KoFXV and other older games.Unless what you wanted them to deliver is to immediately hit big and make fighting games popular again or to win some kind of "console war" against other companies, they are doing just fine. I'd expect them to release 2-3 more new games until 2030.>meanwhile every other publisher have at least two things going while promoting future projects.Citation needed. A big corporation like Ubisoft for example got just two remakes of old shit announced (+ BG&E2 lol). Electronic Arts is completely dead aside from Sports games and some indie-tier tactics Star Wars game. Both are magnitudes larger than SNK.Also, realistically, a game on SNK level takes at least 2-3 years to develop. Depending on how development is structured, what kind of games are they making, how much can they reuse and how many teams they got, it just makes sense how they haven't shown anything yet.I'd expect at least two new non-mobile games by 2030.
>>572662225>SNK delivered pretty much what they said they would from the beginningwe're gonna have to check what they said from the beginning>Supposedly with pretty much everything people asked there to be, except for alternate skins and a more involved story mode that isn't EoSTthat's not exactly a small reduction>Also, realistically, a game on SNK level takes at least 2-3 years to developand what level is that, B grade
>>572666310>that's not exactly a small reductionIt's a logical enough reduction. If something had to give, I'd rather it be those things.>and what level is that, B gradeSure, let's call it that. It doesn't get much faster, unless you want a D grade game.
>>572667387>Sure, let's call it that. It doesn't get much faster, unless you want a D grade game.with how it looks and what it lacks, it's too easy to give nu-snk's general work that kind of grade, cotw does not look like a game that took 2-3 yearssnk's biggest problems are its employees with their lack of talent, just because they are professionals doesn't mean they're experts or even close enough to serve the function, and they should at least be well acquainted with a lot of the things in fields like programming that they seem to not have quite the grasp at, that i'm even tempted to say that cris might even know more at this point than they do
>>572662225They are the ones taking about being top ten publisher by 2033, with that out put and quality I doubt they are going to be even top ten in people’s heart, if over 400 employees and even more now with the new Vsstudio they can only manage to release three non mobile games in ten years honestly they should be closed down unless we are taking about Elden ring or gta level games.
>>572668350>cotw does not look like a game that took 2-3 yearsWith how surprisingly little they actually reused? Might actually give it 4 years.Such is the state of the modern video game industry. Could've been a year and a half back in PS2 days. Would have less graphical fidelity, even if it would look similar enough though.>snk's biggest problems are its employees with their lack of talent, just because they are professionals doesn't mean they're experts or even close enough to serve the function, and they should at least be well acquainted with a lot of the things in fields like programming that they seem to not have quite the grasp at, that i'm even tempted to say that cris might even know more at this point than they doSounds like a bunch of buzzwords and slogans with no real insight, unless you can explain vague terms like "talent" or provide a source for the claim that their games are poorly programmed. Usually, it's not that hard to tell, like with Game Freak.SNK's biggest problem is trying to make the kind of games that were barely relevant by the end of the 90s in 2020s. They are kind of like Nihon Falcom, but with a worse genre portfolio for the modern industry.
>>572669036By 2033? Doable, though a lot more realistic goal would be getting in the top five Japanese publisher by that point.But even that is all assuming that Saudi will continue sponsor them and world wouldn't end tomorrow.Also, I said at least three. By 2033 they might finally get to a game a year schedule, so the number of games they'll have by then is more like six to seven.
>>572670595>With how surprisingly little they actually reused? Might actually give it 4 years.it's because of how low effort their models look even without reuse>Sounds like a bunch of buzzwords and slogans with no real insightif that's a bunch of buzzwords and slogans to you, then that's a you problemthere's weird bugs, weird programming habits causing problems that shouldn't have been problems alt costumes having different properties for strange things that mugen programming should have informed them about because mugen is essentially a reverse engineering of the genre, and even then, mugen's been used for various other things BESIDES fighting games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41Yzkl-36AQif you ever heard of a thing called sf2ibm, of sfliu, or some other variation of it, it's a korean hack pc dos version of street fighter 2, and one thing about it is how you can edit the ascii data files which they're called .SEQ files, or SEQuence files, usually it contains data for animating and programming the character, so you can sort of modify properties and the animationsthe first half is a channel/sequence number and some numbers usually referring to the second half of the file in sequence, then a terminator that's preceded by a sequence number, like 5 -1 where -1 is the terminator and 5 is the goto sequencethe second half is structured like, iirc,>1 2 3 4 M00N0xxwhich the first number is the index number that gets referred to in the first half of the file, and the 2 is the img/sprite definition reference given in another file for image/sprite data, then x/y translations, then properties defined in M00N0xx (or variations of this syntax, won't go into detail)this was premugen ways of editing an fg besides the ascii thing i remember from long ago, and this was very poor and lacked a lot of versatility, and this was how you defined a single frame of action, and it only lasted for that frameweaker than mugennu-snk is like that to me
>>572672498since i ran out of space in that post, and i missed a comma in one place specificallyyou may have touched mugen editing in the past, so if you ever went with that first, and then tried out this sf2ibm thing, you'd realize the difference in power and control you have over what you can do vs what you can do in sf2ibm, the difference is dramaticthey both function on concepts of state machines, only that sf2ibm is closer to a moore diagram of such than a mealy onethis should come as no surprise, but not a lot of people know how to properly implement an automaton in programming, they just know syntax like "i know how to write an #include statement and how to do all that funny stuff with std:: like ios_base and whatnot!!"a lot of people get to the syntax part and think that's all there is to it, but not a lot of people actually venture out into the tricks of the trade such as the most common ones, data structures and algorithms, and how to make event cycles, basically applying all that knowledge of syntax in clever arrangements rather than just merely "i can write a hello world program and ask you to say hello and check if you wrote hello!!!"i like to think that's where snk's current employees are atthey understand programming, but they don't ~know~ programmingold konami and treasure and irem and taito, those guys knew what they were doing, and then there's ack-lame/ljn who'd make someone ask "why do these guys even have a job"and *this* is why i have to question where snk's talent is at, and it has nothing to do with these so-called buzzwords
>>572673907and here's where i'm going to give snk credit, hallelujah, handling ronaldo's mechanics show that someone there at least can do something a wee bit more outside the box for snk, and that's why ronaldo to me is fun to watch in action compared to a lot of other characters, i'd love to see more like that from snk in generalbut it worries me that they seem to have trouble giving us those extra lane stages and extra ringout stages, when programming things in a more versatile fashion should have solved that problem
>>572672498>it's because of how low effort their models look even without reuseLooking low effort doesn't mean actual low effort.Is what I would say, but actually they look higher effort than most Bamco releases even with shaders messing them up.Want to see actual cheap graphics, you're welcome to look at Nen Impact.>there's weird bugs, weird programming habits causing problems that shouldn't have been problems alt costumes having different properties for strange thingsWow, so SNK is NRS level? That's world class, man.Seriously though, weird bugs is a fairly normal thing, what you should focus on is how numerous and how bad they are.>alt costumes having different properties for strange thingsThat IS a problem indeed, but that is to be expected for the approach they took and should inform you that they never planned to make a lot of skins to begin with. Likely, because with their approach they'd have to cut down on the number of characters.
>>572673907What I hear from this that they don't have an actually capable old school senior programmer as a lead and that they depend on hires that can work with Unreal Engine. That's about right pretty much anywhere. If anything, from the point of view of someone who is familiar with the tools I'm surprised at how much they managed to customize it. I get that it is a wasted effort from the point of view of someone who just sees the end result.>>572674502>but it worries me that they seem to have trouble giving us those extra lane stages and extra ringout stages, when programming things in a more versatile fashion should have solved that problemLack of more multi-lane stages is a problem indeed, but then again that mode is extremely half-baked in the first place and would need a lot more polish.Lack of ringout stages are more about extra assets and animations that they would need.Personally, I wouldn't chalk the lack of to just the lack of versatility. If anything, I'd imagine that on a certain level those modes would be easy enough to enable, if not for caveats I mentioned.
>>572674676>Looking low effort doesn't mean actual low effort.there's a southern phrase that goes like "going around your ass to get to your elbow"rather than me provide an example this time, here's google's>A coworker needs to edit a short PDF. Instead of opening it on their computer, they print the document, walk to the scanner, email the scanned PDF to themselves, download the scan, convert it to a Word document, make the text edits, convert it back to a PDF, and send it out>If anything, from the point of view of someone who is familiar with the tools I'm surprised at how much they managed to customize it.that's what everyone *should* be doing, it's called tailoring a solutionpeople can learn to apply the tools ue gives you, like physics handling etc, but being creative in optimizing the tools takes ingenuity so that it doesn't bog things down like for frame rate, which is important for fgsand if anyone right now is the master of having tailored ue to their needs, it's arcsys>Lack of ringout stages are more about extra assets and animations that they would need.depends on if they go for sovlful individual unique animations for the ringout-ee or stock like kenshiro's zankai ken animations that happen to all, so i'll give you that
Man this game is so fucked absolutely nobody wants to talk about it directly and just pretend to be armchair developers. Why the fuck did SNK wait to reveal Season 3? It's gonna launch this monthLike what is this shit gonna be, Rick, Duck, Kasumi and Laocorn? I guess probably whatever Krauser's son's name is too. I legit forgot already
>>572680331other than laocorn who's still a sausage, nobody really pops there, not even duck who i actually likedon't give a shit about fire emblem krauser
>>572680794Duck should've been brought back in KOFXV honestly. Waiting this long to bring him back in Fatal Fury is just baffling. Not even Season 2? And he's not even a given when Rick and Laocorn are, I could straight up be wrongMain problem with FF's roster is it feels half the characters that are DLC should've been base game
>>572677328>there's a southern phrase that goes like "going around your ass to get to your elbow"It's not applicable here.In this specific case cutting corners would lead to a result in acceptably worse range, but it also would mean giving up on ever doing things better later on. Might be useful for optimization though.>that's what everyone *should* be doing, it's called tailoring a solutionSure, but usually it isn't that involved. At this point SNK could've started with Unity and arrived to their current solution.>and if anyone right now is the master of having tailored ue to their needs, it's arcsysI'm not sure that they tailored UE itself exactly. From what I've heard it's more like they sidestep UE to brute force the visuals, but yeah. They are lucky to start with UE3 too as it was a lot different back then.I do think that more they refine their technique the more boring it looks though, but it might just be a problem with everything after Xrd, as Tokon seems better than their usual fair. SOVLwise they peaked at Battle Fantasia desu
>>572680331Maybe their daddy wanted something to show at EWC? It's, like, in a week or so.
>>572681549>Main problem with FF's roster is it feels half the characters that are DLC should've been base gameyes, that's true, all that flexing about kofxv being "made from scratch because it's a different engine" should have been called out for cotw which they could have argued the same circumstances, only to have half as many characters at launch, and i've yet to hear the excuse for that one>>572682482>It's not applicable here.i would venture to say it is, and that's just opinion, but to me, it looks like they try to do things the long way to end up at a result that could have been done in less effort and shorter time>From what I've heard it's more like they sidestep UE to brute force the visualsnow that is unfortunate but beyond opinion it does need evidence
>>572682760>yes, that's true, all that flexing about kofxv being "made from scratch because it's a different engine" should have been called out for cotw which they could have argued the same circumstances, only to have half as many characters at launch, and i've yet to hear the excuse for that oneWell the excuse is that they still could cheat by reusing some base assets from XIV and SNKH, even if they had to recode and touch up everything. CotW is much more honest in that regard.>i would venture to say it is, and that's just opinion, but to me, it looks like they try to do things the long way to end up at a result that could have been done in less effort and shorter timeI feel like it will save them time in the future, so it is a good call. And who knows how their shaders will be at that point.>now that is unfortunate but beyond opinion it does need evidenceI think it was mentioned at some GDC presentation years ago. Also, there's the entire thing with the way DBFZ modding works and how the recent SS4 Daima Goku DLC breaks ArcSys conventions.
the most prominent fg developer in history
>>572686253Really looking forward to what he will do now
>>572686253>>572688249First teaser/railer in 2028Game in 2030 (with luck)Yeah. Boring.
I'd rather have one small game a year (like, you know, in the SNK glory days) than wait four or five years for some gAAAy game that will flop anyway.
>>572686253
>>572689125Oh no it takes time to make stuff, get a job nigga
>>572691434Good stuff, yes. But PS2 stuff shouldn't take as long as it does for SNK to make—yet it does.
>>572671601>the number of games they'll have by then is more like six to seven.

Hear me out. Animated Netflix KOF series. 9 episodes + movie. Each episode is about 45-60 minutes long with JJK fights. Divided into 3 volumes:Vol. 1:Episode 1 (retelling of KOF '94 + '95)Episode 2 (retelling of KOF '96)Episode 3 (retelling of KOF '97)Vol. 2:Episode 4 (retelling of KOF '99)Episode 5 (retelling of KOF 2000)Episode 6 (retelling of KOF 2001)Vol. 3:Episode 7 (retelling of KOF 2003)Episode 8 (retelling of KOF XI)Episode 9 (retelling of KOF XIII)Movie (KOF XIV + XV + whatever extra crap that was left out)Promote the shit out of it and amass an army of shills.

People will coom all over visuals and absolve SNK of any faults.
>>572705842>People will coom all over visuals and absolve SNK of any faults.Kind of how like Jujutsu Kaisen's author gets absolved of his hack writing because the anime hard carries him.Who knows, if things work out for SNK, we could also get some kino SamSho shows down the line.
>>572686253Sakurai looks different from what I remember him.
>>572686253True, but you'd have to watch the video until the end to see him, as it begins with Harada.
>>572696671Technology to put PS2 games on PC with only limited "emulation" is out there. As an alternative, AI is pretty alright at reverse engineering tasks, though you still need to check and touch up the code.

>>572692746XI is Japan's favorite KOF and there's a bunch of arcades that still do streams of casuals/tourneys for it today. I also wish they'd do something with it, like put it on a collection at least. Also the tag combo system is way more fun to watch than EX move spam max mode from the previous entries
>zoomers really think that jjk's "fight scenes" that consist of 70% stills of characters doing exposition of their techniques followed by less than 2 minutes of impact frames and smears is considered good action>actually thinks SNK should copy this Grim
SAY IT AGAINHIS GAME
>>572733621Obviously not.XI was made when arcades were more about different kind of games in Japan. 98 is still the king there. And I mean the original not UM(FE).For China it is 97, for MENA it is 00, for Latin America it is 02XI does have a sect of devoted fans in Japan though. Not that it says much. Buriki One got one as well.

>>572753669Ironically, it could work, but it never will because for it to succeed, you’d need a combination of a longtime SNK fan and a truly great film director (not woke). And that combination simply doesn't exist.

It was crazy to think snk made a kof series from 1994 to 2003 with one edition of the game for year.It sure was pleasing to the fans but monetary speaking it sure had alotsa of risks.
>silvia nerfeadase acabo....
>>572771264It's less risky when you realize>They were all built on the same engine>They were arcade releases and not console game releases>They reused characters and graphics every year>Some of them were straight up unfinished like KOF97 and KOF99>SNK went out of business because of other actual more risky ventures like Fatal Fury flopping several years in a row, the Hyper Neo Geo 64 burning a hole in their wallet and trying to run a fucking theme park

>>572776823Is Najd usable now?
Yup
>>572770396It really shows how easy it is to put up with something bad when there are better options under the same umbrella to focus on than to bother with the underwhelming, directlyPlease just make fucking anything else that isn't Live Service this is literally the answer
>>572772446What's that? King of Fighters Ultimate Team with yearly resets?
>>572770396It's almost like they are two different companies doing different kinds of games and can only be compared at few little points of intersection.
>>572804651Yeah, one is making games and the other isn't
>>572806525One got ~4000 employees and the other got ~400 You can't blame SNK for releasing on average 10 times less games in a year :^)
>>572806886400 employees can at least make 4 games if they were focused on making specifically just a game and not live service pipeline slop. The latter Sony can't even do despite how many studios they buy solely to attempt them. SNK's saving grace is unironically their cheap ass production spin. Saudi Prince would've probably dumped them if they spent a real AAA budget on the actual game
FotNS author having some fun with Kenshirohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDYKyGgg2OI
>>572807189Cool speculation that barely got anything to do with current day world reality and challenges.
>>572806886Bruh ~4,000 employees is insane, but ~400 is also a lot of people. Celeste, Hades, Hollow Knight. if you put the three together, that’s ~40 people. The problem with the current SNK is its mediocre management and leadership. This was common knowledge even before the Prince's acquisition.
Reminder it's chinger fault, not Snk fault.
>>572809675Uh-huh. And how often do they make new games? What kind of games are they?
>>572812129not like snk is making one (>ONE) high grade gameit's an amateur grade by itself that they could have done with 75% less people working for them totalwhen they have actually impressively packaged games to release especially at launch, then we can talk about how snk is so burdened, but it's not even the casedragon's crown, with its hand-drawn assets, got by on less with way more going for it, and snk's modern games have generally looked like they were put together by a team of 20 in 1.5 years despite the supposed 2-3 cycle, and while someone can say that they spent a year planning, it doesn't mean that things can't be done in parallel, and it surely doesn't mean that a mere sample of their PRIMARY game models should look like they threw it all together in less than a week, a demo alone should give a really good first impression of visuals
>>572772316>SNK went out of business because of other actual more risky ventures like Fatal Fury flopping several years in a row, the Hyper Neo Geo 64 burning a hole in their wallet and trying to run a fucking theme parkAlso the NGPC
>>572818231Kawasaki was delusional and wanted to become Nintendo and Sega. They didn’t even have a mascot on the level of Mario or Sonic, why a theme park retard?
why can't they just do what marvel did and like give out perms/license and shit to others. i mean marvel had solo action games, a shooter game, a beat em up, etc.
>>572822663Snk isn't marvel
>>572823554But they need to try to be, if they want to become AAAAt this rate, they’ll only reach AA in 2033
>>572822663You guys should just shut the fuck up instead of saying retarded shit like this
>>572818231Precisely the color wasn't a failure in any mesure. It sold 2 millions of units in 2 years.Gameboy sold 2 million of units in Japan each year.Yep, ngp sold ONLY the half than motherfucking - pokemon - system.Pocket was viable. Neo Geo simply had far more pressing problems to address.
>>572812894>high grade>amateur grade>impressively packaged>have generally looked like they were put together by a team of 20>PRIMARY game models should look like they threw it all together in less than a weekAll highly subjective and don't address the underlying problem.In real world no one cares about this shit THIS much. Which is also how you get some AA and indie games (as well as tendieshit) being more successful than AAA stuff.SNK will never be successful as long as they are making games for the so called "FGC" + their old fans.>>572822663>implying they don'tMetal Slug Tactics isn't even two years old FFS.>>572824339Having other people do their games will never make them AAA.
>>572824339That isn't how it works Also being a medium level developer and publisher is good niche in this market
Is kenshiro good? I missed the sale on this game and as much as I like Terry and kenshiro I cannot justify paying over 30 bucks for something I’m going to probably play every 2-3 days

>>572826582>All highly subjective and don't address the underlying problem.it seems to me given your rhetoric that you want to attribute snk's lack of success to them simply only making fighting gamesyou'll see that you're wrong when snk starts branching out and faces very little success elsewhere genre-wise, if they keep up the level that they're working atand it's not that they shouldn't be making different genres, it's that the problems are much more deep-seated than that>In real world no one cares about this shit THIS much.or snk>SNK will never be successful as long as they are making games for the so called "FGC" + their old fans.it does not mean they can't do better than where they're at, and it's not just the excuse of making fighting games, snk's so much on the lower rung in that realm because their capabilities are very low, like they're like their own tier of nicheit's not like arcsys is doing resident evil or monster hunter here, they have "matt damon baby" and some blazblue spinoff and they're still better off than snkthe bottom line is one you want to pretend isn't the issue, and it's that snk's employees just suck at their jobs and suck at coming up with ideas that anybody would ever care about

I bought the wrong kof. I got xiv instead of the other one, only kinda pissed because I like Nelson
>>572833294That's not my rhetoric, making normal-ass fighting games does put a hard cap on how succesful the game can be outside of the established audience.>you'll see that you're wrong when snk starts branching out and faces very little success elsewhere genre-wise, if they keep up the level that they're working atThat's a likely outcome in general, regardless of what nebulous thing like "level that they're working at". They never made big games in the genres that are relevant today. You'd have to hit the lottery since even getting actual specialists like Platinum Games doesn't make your game be successful by default. Even RGG Studios just relies on Yakuza games first and foremost.>and it's not just the excuse of making fighting games, snk's so much on the lower rung in that realm because their capabilities are very low, like they're like their own tier of nicheCotW is pretty good game though. There's just no audience for it, simple as. And no, there won't be a meaningfully larger amount of people playing it if it "looked good".>it's not like arcsys is doing resident evil or monster hunter here, they have "matt damon baby" and some blazblue spinoff and they're still better off than snkYou'd have to define being better off. I mean, on one hand you got the company that's making low quality trash like Double Dragon Revive and Kunio-kun roguelite. On other hand you got a company chilling with Saudi money in the pocket.
>>572837254>that's making low quality trashbUt ThAtS AlL hIgHlY sUbJeCtIvElike cotw>On other hand you got a company chilling with Saudi money in the pocket.that's right, they don't have any incentive to not fail because it has a safety netmark booking>And no, there won't be a meaningfully larger amount of people playing it if it "looked good".no, there won't, but every little bit counts toward the bigger picture and snk isn't even in that direction yet, so what is your point then, is it a linkin park reference perchance
>>572837785>bUt ThAtS AlL hIgHlY sUbJeCtIvEShit controls aren't what I'd personally call subjective, especially in a game that cost more than CotW with all DLC, but I guess there are peoople that like CBT as well.>they don't have any incentive to not fail because it has a safety netDepends on definition of failure. SNK games do well enough to continue making them, so that's fine.>but every little bit counts toward the bigger pictureThat's not what you said when talking about model quality.
>>572839234>Depends on definition of failure. SNK games do well enough to continue making them, so that's fine.you know full well it's not selling well that's keeping them afloat, you're just denying itall that talk about infinite sowdey monies and now it's wHaT tHe DeFiNiTiOn Of "iT" iS>That's not what you said when talking about model quality.i never said anything in particular about how it would sell with relationship to their model quality, i only pointed to their skill levels and ability to get eyes drawn to the product, and i don't mean shoving the product in their faces like some ad wizards here seem to believeand i've also said ~baby steps~
>>572837254At this point they should just make a real bout version separate from cotw with different characters and battle system for the non esport players, with lanes and out of bounds and refine models, all the guess characters can stay in cotw adding more traditional characters for all the moralist and people who don’t like the dj, that’s the only way to get more people playing, just adding more stages with lanes and ring outs to cotw would be a waste of money.
>>572840361>would be a waste of moneywhy is that all of a sudden a concern now, thought it was all about the passionthere's so much flipflopping on this point it's nutsmoney somehow matters when it's a convenient excuse to not do something, but it's also a counterpoint against critics saying snk will face things like going bankrupt or looking like a failure company that's ngmi
>>572818231Pocket was killed by Aruze, it wasn't a flop. If Aruze actually cared about money and not just lazy IP ownership like modern corpos did, they would've let the NGPC persist

Saudi money lets them invest in other areas, like their mocap studio.>>572840361That would be neat, but ultimately even if I love Real Bout I don't see the point. You can already play the existing RBFF games, this would be just a pointless remake.I doubt it will bring much more players regardless. Even people complaining about Ronaldo and Salvatore are just the loud minority. Most people are indifferent to them, with the caveat that they also don't care about CotW period.
I think I found my problem with combos. In practice mode, you must hit the second hit immediately otherwise it registers as a counter hit again and that shit has a slight delay. I guess indeed my input wasn’t clean, but it’s very hard I got tired…
SNK should make a souls game based on Crystalis ip.
>>572840361I think they’re waiting for season 3 which will include the Real Bout characters and then they will release more lane stages. I don’t think it’s hard to add lanes for all the current stages and by this you can make everyone happy.
>>572846756>SNK should make a souls game based on Athena ipFixed.
>>572855548>SoulsI'd actually want to play it, thank you. Give me something actually closer to the source material like a cute beat-em-up platformer so it actually is cheap and stands out in this fucking era of every goddamn AAA game being the same 5 genres

>>572857519Remember when they gave her big boobs in KoF XV? Good times.
Oh, boy! Look at the time!It's Ralf harassment time!
>>572696995That's one of the many problems of "patch culture". Every game was its own thing with its own tricks. Now, they're constantly patched, and devs want you to be glued to their game 24/7. Cool in theory. But people only have so much time, so the top 3 games in any live service genre will kill all non-top 3 games by siphoning off players' time in this 10-year per game, constant updating loop. People start having time to only play 1 game. Then add in tribal shit, parasocial communities, and yeah. Flops galore.
>>572776823They made j.CD's scale more, but I wish they just made J.CD's less favorable compared to standard Jump attacks across the board.

Let me try making one: "With some ingenuity one can discern a success within a percieved failure".Mocap is useful. SNK is already using it. Results are at least decent so far and it would only get better.

>>572980101>TFW Geese backhands Anton in his intro Vs. Mary
>>572985126But they already have a blind guy.
Athena will be in Arcana Heart 4. That is a while away though.
>>572955279>In Samurai Shodown 6, two new characters were introduced, and they were kind of like the "protagonists" of that game.Sugoroku and Ocha-Maro... forgotten
>>572955790why is someone doing that, it's blatant murder attempt, but of course it's also japan i guess where it is dishonolabu to report murder attemptslike how in the uk it's dishonorable to do it when immies are the committers
>>572978426>make the belt the same color as her skin and shade it like it's her bare assIntentional?
>>572978426It looks like her nipples are hard
What games do you recommend for someone who’s really into Terry Bogard? I think he’s such the shit
>>573013651Fatal Fury Special, KOF98, CVS2, Smash UltSNK has fumbled too many times with him to truly show off what makes him appealing. But also his SF6 appearance is ass and overshadowed by Mai
>>573014017His face aside, he's actually a lot cooler in SF6 than Mai is gameplaywise.
>>573013651Real Bout Fatal Fury 2.
>>573014497Doesn't matter if he's cooler because SF6fags legitimately do not give a shit about Terry so you'll never see him, and when you do he's not really much different than most of SF6's roster anyway
>>573015717You know you can look up character usage rates instead of just saying shit, right?
>>573018397Player ranks aren't about how good characters are, they're about how good the players are with said characters. 50 people who know how to play Terry will have a higher rank than 100 people who don't know how to play Mai
>>573019465What does that have to do with what >>573015717 said?
>>573019678If you pay attention to the number drop off, Terry is more or less tying with characters above and lower than him. The highest quantity of players flock to the shotos because they're the easiest characters to play in the game. You see Alex is already dropping significantly in usage because he's no longer new toy syndrome. If every fucking character is at a 4% usage rate does that really make them more significantly played than others? Especially when at tourneys suddenly none of these fuckers show up and it's all shit like Sagat and Mai?This is what a system mechanics game looks like. Everyone's balanced, but some are more balanced than others
>>573014017>KOF98Solid iteration of the character.>>573014573RB2 is a great game, but I find odd how both Power Charge and Power Dunk are implemented.
>>572686253Oda is screwed. Harada is going to take his place, and that's a good thing.
>>573034710VS Studio is pretty much independant though
>>573034710Wouldn't he talk about Bamco?Unless you want to provide examples of how thoes five points refer to SNK.
>>572969619GG is about weapons, so it's going to be a Samsho or Last Blade character. It could be Genjuuro, but I'd like Setsuna.
Aerith DLC COTW. Trust the plan.
>>573039559
what is with the AI commentating the EWC tournament
>>573043153It begins
>>572686253>>573034710The only really bad thing about Harada going to SNK is that we're unlikely to see Kof vs Kekken or SNK vs Bamco in the future.
>>573046669nobody wants that
Hotaru's walk back animation is so cute but I miss when she used to ride you
Hypothetically, how would you see COTW doing right now if it launched in the state it was at the end of S1 + Jae Hoon, with all the UI and QOL adjustments that came up to the Krauser patch. Blue Mary would be the first (teased) DLC and the first Season would just be her, Krauser, Karate, and guest Kenshiro (Nig. Geese stays as boss only).
>>573055384nothing would change but it would help if they didn't cover up mai so much and added more kof girls or just more women in general
>>573055751Not really
>tune into EWC>they spelled Xiaohai's name wrongNice multi million dollar production lmao. Saudi sandnigs are far too rich for how incompetent they are.
>EWC commentators openly whining on mic about having to watch Billy mirrors in GFWhy is SNK's balance so shit?
>>573064060How stupid are you?It's not Xiaohai
>>573064060>>573065074K'ek
Congratz, ABAO!
>>573065074>chinese guy>plays billy with the black color schemeYeah I think you're the stupid one here saudicuck lmao. Maybe next time they should spend some of their oil and blood money on spellcheck
She's fucking disgusting omg
>>573066165>she
>>573019916Okay, but that doesn't change the fact that saying you'll never run into Terry in SF6 is just wrong. Never mind that there are several notable pro players who still main and get results with him, even if he's weaker than Mai and Saggot.
>>573064060>>573065074Retard doomposter BTFO lmao
>>573066165
>>573055384It will not sell 1 million but it would certainly receives a far better reception and might become a cult classic. The best fight that nobody plays.
>>573067114Original point was Terry is underwhelming in SF6 and if you actually want good Terry, you play games where Terry actually feels like a relevant part of the roster or game's identity. Going "no players play him" in the currently most played fighting game of the decade doesn't mean anything. Terry is top 3 in CotW right now, higher than his placement in SF6, does that mean anything? No it doesn't, because people don't play CotW. But by the metric you're trying to use, CotW is a better game for Terry than SF6 is
>>573055384Maybe marginally better, but then we'd just have overtuned Karate and Kenshiro terrorizing season 1 instead of overtuned base roster characters.
>>573070172It should’ve been Kyo instead of Terry but oda is a subhuman.
>>573070172>Terry is underwhelming in SF6 and if you actually want good Terry, you play games where Terry actually feels like a relevant part of the roster or game's identity.Except none of this is true. The point then got deflected to how nobody plays him here >>573015717>Terry is top 3 in CotW right now, higher than his placement in SF6, does that mean anything? No it doesn't, because people don't play CotW. But by the metric you're trying to use, CotW is a better game for Terry than SF6 isHe's the 7th most played character in ranked (once you get past the tutorial ranks) in the most popular fighting game since the death of the arcade. In a roster with like 30 characters, that's very good. Cotw is irrelevant to the conversation.
