>>574482548Good thing that he barely talks there.
>>574482548If we're adding ngbc characters, I'd rather have HER
Why did they give up on experimenting from this point onwards? They even aped EX specials.
Rick looks too White. Nothing wrong with White. I love White. But Rick shouldn't be light skinned.
This normal seems good, especially if it's just his jC and hits in front too
>>574481797Takuma? No thanks.

I finally get what people are saying now.Long combos for Anime games are good. Long combos for SNK games are bad.

>>574486435XII-XIII failed so SNK's best answer to that was to copy more of XIII's gameplay for some stupid reason.
>>574499960Combo badCombo Breaker good
>>574499960Anime games have a burst, SNK games don't. XIII-styled combos need to fucking go anyways.
Windjammers is onhttps://www.twitch.tv/kgp_ch02
>>574512903EX moves were a fucking mistake in SNK games. Landing a heavy and doing a heavy special was already strong enough and lead to combos so the only avenue they could go is turning them all into combo starters or brainless neutral skips. It also ruined supers as well since now we don't get any more interesting supers for utility, instead everything is either big damage corner ender or slightly less damage midscreen ender. Even shit in CotW that could be interesting like the supers that have brakes on them have so much scaling that letting the super go through just does more damage than any combo you do after
>>574514880go to bed clayton
>>574514880The worst thing about EX moves in SNK games is very rarely are the moves sidegrades like Kyo getting a command grab instead of a hitgrab, and in COTW's case they exist strictly for combo filler. In the worst case (and sadly most common) scenario, these faggots use it as a flimsy balancing excuse by putting the original properties of the moves behind meter.
>>574515291clark's EX moves in kof15 are good doe
>>574515463EX SAB is fine, everything else falls under the problem I mentioned.
posting litchi in these generals but not a single snk character comes close to playing like her
>>574515560EX tackle is a good AA and can beat out important forward moving enemy specials, EX vulcan punch gives him plus frame pressure, EX frank is also a strong checkmate on a good read
>>574515852So why can't all that just be on the special moves? In all of those examples it's just a better version of the base special moves. EX SAD is the only one that actually deviates by being a combo starter/extender
>>574515946because clark doesn't need to be even stronger than he already is, and I generally agree with you, but clark would be the exception
>>574516107Then just tune down his numbers, and you're under the assumption other characters wouldn't also have actual special moves and side grade EX moves.
>>574515946because people are lazy and not creativei remember being lazy and not creativein highschool
>>574516236I doubt you're any different now

>>574535278I think little by little COTW's PR is improving, partly thanks to Kenshiro, partly due to one char a month DLC and also strangely the GDQ blowup. I think that incident might have been a blessing in disguise with normalfags replying about how tired they are about troons kvetching about Saudis and I've seen more people in comments telling concernposters to stfu when they bring it up. Won't bring the game CCU up to 1000+ players but it's a step in the right direction as long as SNK doesn't flub it up somehow again
*saves your game*
*Kills your game*
*sexos your game*
>>574538149me on the back
>>574538671I wonder who going to beat his ass
>>574535753i see a lot of concern posters get shit on because none of them will ever acknowledge the fact that the saudi's have their hands in a lot of stuff and probably bring in more from riot and capcom than snk but for some reason everyone just focuses on snk because it's the biggest target and only a few people actually care about them
>>574537372will he act the same with the avatar game now that resetera also hates it?
>>574539769what do they hate it for?

*saves cotw*
>>574526617so i can still get a job at snk if that's the case>>574535753so it's translating to sales and players right
>>574544725I feel like she'd be boring to play as with CotW mechanics.As much as I don't care about Xiangfei, she's actually perfect for CotW with how she plays at least. Might actually have a fun dynamic with Hotaru. And I guess Chun too, if they are still gonna milk SF crossover. They don't even have to age her up, strictly speaking seeing how RBFF2 was a Dream Match in anything but name and Wild Ambition isn't same canon.
>>574535753The further a product by a non-Mega Brand gets from its bad launch, the harder it is to turn it around. People only forgive mega brands. Still, SNK are doing the right thing by continuing support, contrary to what the dickriding KOF-only faggots wanted a few months ago.>>574539721Something good happens>it was all SNK. Based!Something bad happens>"why are you blaming SNK? Saudi controls everything they do!"
>>574553065>The further a product by a non-Mega Brand gets from its bad launch, the harder it is to turn it around. People only forgive mega brands. Still, SNK are doing the right thing by continuing support, contrary to what the dickriding KOF-only faggots wanted a few months ago.This is true.CotW reception might've been a foregone conclusion, but the support it gets is a good PR and helps to train the KOF Studio and experiment more.>"why are you blaming SNK? Saudi controls everything they do!"No one ever said that. Saudi influence is minimal beyond a few marketing choices (including the initial two guests and continous DJ deal) and an extra hard esports push (which is extremely suboptimal, but does benefit SNK).
>>574552669Ah >According to Yasuyuki Oda, SNK chief-producer, this game, once called non-canonical, despite introducing new characters to the story, is now canonical in the saga's timeline, as stated in an interview with the website 4gamer. The game is the fifth canonical game in the series. This confirmation occured after the reveal of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.[1]
Despite the complaints about the lack of women in the game cotw is fatal fury game with the largest female cast
>>574557281amazingly athletic, they managed to jump that incredibly low hurdle
>>574557281Haha no way
>>574558186yes way jose, they totally are breakin the guinness book of snk records lookit them goooo
speaking of records snk broke some records with cotwlowest selling modern snk game since even kofxiigreatest amount of no-show dqs at a single evo eventquickest time from full price to 50% or more discount for an snk game
>>574559028my wAIfu is so cute
>>574559048No way it sold worst then SNK heroines
>>574556796Yes, hence in "anything but name".It would be incredibly easy to retcon the details.
>>574559338snk heroines, the game that BEAT xrd supposedly in sales? lol
>>574559048>lowest selling modern snk game since even kofxii>greatest amount of no-show dqs at a single evo eventSource?>>574559338SNK Heroines might be the best selling modern SNK game actually, especially being a relatively budget title.
>>574559338>>574559048Yeah even the worst stream estimate put it slightly behind heroins Best
>>574559686>heroinswe're talking about games and you're over here talking about illegal narcotics
>>574559048 Also longest undeserved support and most money waste in publicity and shills.
>>574559338SNK praised Heroines sales going over 300k units and we all know that game was quite cheap reusing a lot of stuff from XIV. They never said anything about COTW sales. Not even talking about numbers, they just don't comment on that.They should have a Switch 2 version of COTW with the release of the console or at least when season 2 arrived.
>>574559048>lowest selling modern snk game since even kofxii????
>>574552669you typed all this bullshit without understanding her moveset or cotw's mechanic.
dude still furious cotw got twelve characters this year and is still getting more characters next year.
>>574576008Alice? Nah, I understood her perfectly.My point is more that when you play CotW you can already simulate more or less Alice experience as almost any character (actually they should build in REV stuff into her when they will add her in the next KOF).The only interesting thing that they can do with her is making her a character with unique overheat interactions, like subtly changing the move properties to her advantage and/or giving her crits on the overheat enter. Something like that. Without removing most of the disadvantages of course. It should be risky.
>>574576972no, it's sylvie schizo. some obsessed retard with a snk hateboner, nobody knows how or why he decided to dedicate his short mexican life to shitting on snk
>>574576972>next yearDo you know DLC characters will stop being free starting from season 4?
SNK's ads If Oda weren't gay.
>everyone's mad about EX juggling in cotwhow is this different from close heavy normal into special? a better complaint about COTW would be that far pokes get to go into full corner carry EX combos all the time. in KOF15 you can still do that, but it requires bar for quick max and isn't a strong option match start obviously
>>574583785Why is the femoid dancing instead of bringing me beer, while I play Baseball Stars on my AES? Useless woman.
>>574583429Since when we're they Free?

>>574585252EX juggling goes on for a while and devalues special moves.>a better complaint about COTW would be that far pokes get to go into full corner carry EX combos all the time.That's not good either and it's tied to the EX move complaint.

>2v2 tournament announced, more news are likely to be revealed before SWC>Possible new gamemode related to said 2v2 tournament>Kizuna Encounter is celebrated as one of the Tagfighters pioneers, the other being X-Men vs Street Fighter, both came out in the same year and the same month>Kizuna Encounter was released on September in arcades, and got a console port later in November>Kizuna Encounter also recently got a Steam release in October>At least one of the mystery guests will be female since an all-male pass will be too retarded for SNK>Assuming one will be a guest, SNK will probably add a character from their IP so the guest would feel more special for the pass>Ignoring it's a guest from AoF this time since Yuri and King recently got revealed for AoF3 + season 1 was likely intended to be in base game, but SNK ran out of time, hence why it was free>Mystery guest #1 comes in October, which matches the steam month, plus the season of Kizuna Encounter. Could also be a time to celebrate the game's 30th anniversary, SNK also said they wanted to revive their dead IPs>Narrowing all this down brings us to Rosa, her moves would also translate well for COTWThoughts? Or am I tinfoiling too much?
>>574610205Clearly 2v2 is SNK Heroines referenceTerryko DLC confirmed.
>>574610205>they wanted to revive their dead IPsphotorealistic akari any second now
>>574610984Right after 10 years timeskip.
>>574610984If SNK can make it till 2030, it's unironically possible.

>>574561964kek it really do be like that>>574582146it's clear that it's all anger due to lack of sylvie in cotw amirite>>574610984photorealistic assumes snk employees could ever get their sense of anatomy straight
>>574582146He's not mexican, he's a retarded american faggot who got humilliated and not getting sylvie on the base roster of KOF XV to ended up wanting to "mock and shitting" on everything that is related to SNK.
i can't not be mexican, i post in "esl" format
I don't know why people are so shocked by 12 characters a year. They did the same thing with KOF XV in its first year. In fact, KOF XV had 14 DLC characters before the game turned one year old.
>>5745713924 million is just enough for a tight budget
>>574623937probably because since kof requires a team of 3 they would expect more characters at a faster rate and since cotw is a 1v1 game nobody expected this kind of output in the age where the more popular games will get like 4 characters spread out over a whole year
>>574627970well first off it's not like they have anything else going on unlike other companies like capcom who actually have more than one concurrent gamesecond it's not like the characters they build require any high levels of meticulous crafting
>>574588660She's AI
>>574628562Pretty sure Capcom has separate teams for different games.
>>574627792Your point was easily proved wrong, it's no use trying to make a retarded /v/-tier shitpost.
>>574630117and where are snk'sall that sowdey money should be able to afford infinite employees amirite
>>574631238not really
>>574539769No. Avatar is Max-approved, so he wouldn't dare to say shit against it and will just pretend he never knew MikeZ worked on it.Max straight-up never cares about SNK, unless they do something with Capcom. And whenever their collab ends, he tosses SNK in the bin. Which is further why he feels like he can walk all over them since they don't generate as much money to him like SF or Tekken.
>>574610984
>>574610205Smart point, but an extremely stupid decision, if true. With KOF, they could "revive" any dead franchises they wanted. It makes no sense to keep making more and more fighting games. We aren't in the 90s anymore. They need to revive/create non-fighting franchises. They should just use KOF to create the definitive SNK fighting game. 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, tag, striker? it would all work with KOF. But they want to turn FF into the new KOF. From another perspective, it’s as if Capcom had killed off SF to focus on Rival Schools and then included Darkstalkers characters in the roster.
>>574639303>But they want to turn FF into the new KOF.Yep. Huge mistake. Shows a lack of subtlety and restraint, which explains a lot of the gameplay decisions, too.
>>574571392Wouldn't surprise me, if true. SNK dragged their heels for a whole decade, making one unfinished, wonky-looking game after the next. By the time they made a decent looking one (decent meaning acceptable by previous gen standards), nobody cared. Combine that with the betas and the launches, and that's what they get. They simply have to try harder and do better.
>>574559338It would not surprise me. XIV looked like crap, but you could feel the soul of SNK underneath all the flaws. They built a well rounded game from scratch, and despite mockery about the graphics, XIV bought them a lot of goodwill. That's why SamSho's hype was riding so high. New engine. New graphics. New revival. Good trailers. SNK hadn't shown themselves to be fuck ups yet.
snk just needs ONE banger game to beat sf6that game isn't aof nor kof btw
>>574639303>From another perspective, it’s as if Capcom had killed off SF to focus on Rival Schools and then included Darkstalkers characters in the roster.Fucking this. Oda fails to see the golden opportunity right in his hands and is making decisions like a total blind Fatal Fury fanboy. and does it in a mediocre way too. There's no way it can work.
>>574647309It could be aof though
>>574639303Smallbrained post.Savage Reign / Kizuna Encounter were always connected to the Fatal Fury timeline. Adding characters from connected games isn't any different from Street Fighter adding Final Fight and Rival Schools characters, for example. It's not really about revival and beats having more external guests.The post you replied to also never said anything about making more and more fighting games, IP revival just means digging into the library It's not that different from when they added Hibiki in SamSho.Also, you say it like Fatal Fury haven't changed the formula almost every game. 2 lanes, 3 lanes, 3 lanes with ringouts, 2 lanes and wall break stuns, 1 lane but still 3 buttons, 1 lane but with KoF-like mechanics and T.O.P., full 3D game with heat meter and then CotW being the mix of the previous two games, kind of. Adding extra modes was a normal practice back in the day as well. There is nothing wrong with doing it in FF.And no, they don't want to turn FF into the new KOF, saying shit like that only means that you don't really understand what KOF turned into and what kind of the own identity it got beyond being team based crossover game.The only right thing you brought up is that it makes no sense to keep making more and more fighting games with how niche the market is, but that is a whole different conversation to have.>From another perspective, it’s as if Capcom had killed off SF to focus on Rival Schools and then included Darkstalkers characters in the roster.That sounds omega based, with Rival Schools being better series and Monster High (kek) School would fit the setting well enough. Also, back when such decision could be made, SF was fairly dead after EX3 flopped.
>>574647309electronic arts needs ONE banger game to beat codkonami needs ONE banger game to beat fifasega needs ONE banger game to beat super marioubisoft needs ONE banger game to beat gtacapcom needs ONE banger game to beat musou
>>574639303What is happening in your pic?
>>574647309Nobody said anything about beating SF6. SNK just needs to be a relevant company that gets proper respect and adoration instead of being treated like budget Capcom but evil now because Saudis, and getting overlooked and mocked by casualfags and tourists.
>>574653706Is it out of pocket to say I kinda enjoyed FF3's Oversway lanes?
>>574654778
>>574647309Even in their prime snk never reached street fighter success
>>574657713>snk fag: ugh why is there a female in this fight, i want more sausages^ real words said btw no cap
>>574658276bcs those sf games were goodsnk needs to make a good enough product+their inherent soulful gameplay and dix will be done for
>>574656141Not at all. Personally, I enjoyed every Fatal Fury game, but I felt that the lane system reached the peak with RBFF2 (though RBFFS is a bit more romantic).What did you like about FF3 take on lanes specifically?
What's up with the Alice posting, she's coming back?
>>574663708No, people jusl like to remember random things out of the blue.
>>574660032What's wrong with liking sausages?
>>574663704I guess the feel and the movement. I love the fact there's a quick dodge and you bop some asshole. I would say it's defense but fun.
>>574664750I can't believe Oda is fucking dead. Rip.
>>574631654Yes really cocky faggot.
>>574666487nope lol
>>574665614That's how lane system should work in general IMO, but Real Bout onwards are more about aggression and it is easier to punish it, so I get what you mean.I like FF3 pace and how it feels as well.
>>574612014pretend the faggot on the left is photorealistic akari
>>574610205Kasumi was in the database retard. It’s her. Every season so far had 1 AoF character, this won’t be different.
>>574676873Watch it be Sinclair to blindside everyone
>>574676873Kasumi is two seasons away. Also, I think there will be a Kizuna rep but I think it will be King Lion and Leo.
>>574678751In fact, I'm gonna make a bold claim right now. I definitely think it's those two. I believe they are characters 39 and 40. Lion will be the playable variant and Leo will be a boss you can fight, similar to the two variants of Nightmare Geese in the game. The only other combination I could think of would be Chonrei and Chonshu, but if they were going to do that it wouldn't make sense for them to be mystery characters. For King Lion it does because he's technically a guest character.
>>574679803>but if they were going to do that it wouldn't make sense for them to be mystery charactersIt does, because there's a good chance that they would get big redesigns being adults now. Spoiling those at the beginning of the season simply doesn't make sense.
>he actually thinks they are wasting a mystery slot on a femaleyou're having two more dudes and you'll love it
>>574680649Eh I think that's a bit of a stretch. Maybe though, I wouldn't rule it out. I just don't think they'd actually roll out two actual separate characters in one month like that. The Jin twins are storywise important to the whole Jin scrolls bullshit so it'd make sense to have them in the game eventually.For those that don't know that mystery spot for October, if things don't change, is two characters in one folder. Characters PL039 and PL040. It most likely will be two characters heavily related to each other. Hell it could be a total surprise like the World Heroes ninjas or even two characters from a guest franchise.But to me, what still fits most would be a single playable character and a boss version of the same character, just like the two Nightmare Geeses. And Shishioh/King Lion makes the most sense to me.
In general, I find it more likely that not wanting to spoil things is the reason why SNK kept Mr. Karate and Kenshiro secret, not them being guests.In general, SNK were more than happy flaunting Ken and Chun-li as well as showing Mr. Big in Season 1.When thinking what are the mystery characters, you should consider inclusion of what kind of characters could become an event by themselves. Duck could work, if he wasn't kind of spoiled in the game (which is why Ryo wouldn't be a mystery as well). Laocorn would work if he wasn't a big selling point of the Season Pass.On the topic of other FF characters besides Jin brothers that could potentially work as mystery picks, I can think only of two: Alfred and White. Technically Yamazaki could as well, but they'd leave him for another season pass.
>>574682328Alfred is supposedly season 4, and I would guess that White will be the villain of that season with him. I think we will get Yamazaki eventually, he's a pretty big major exclusion
>>574682328Season 4 will probably be Freeman/Yamazaki, Xiangfei, Alfred and White, Ryo(?) And a mystery guest. And the final season will be Freeman/Yamazaki, Jin twins or someone related to them, Kasumi, Fallen Rock(?), and whatever crazy guest(s) SNK wants to close the game with, assuming they will still do 6 characters a season.It's a shame COTW flopped, if only things were better for SNK.
>>574683715>actually forgetting about Franz and GaoThere's no way that they aren't going to be playable.
>>574684880Kek, my bad. Final season will probably be Freeman/Yamazaki, whichever wasn't added to season 4, Gao, Franz, Jin twins (or a new Jin character), Kasumi and either Fallen Rock or a guest to close the game.
>>574684880Leaks say Franz, Gao, and Alfred are season 4, Ryo and Kasumi are season 5. Interestingly, season 4 seems to have 7 or even 8 characters according to the last update.
>>574657713Brown manlet bros...

>>574686364Oh yeah? What about MEN who look like WOMEN??
>>574683715I honestly don't think that we'll see Freeman at that point. Even Laurence Blood is more likely. Last we heard about him he was working for Krauser again.
>>574687006Not that one.Andy though...

being a SNK fan is too humiliating bros, why do our games have to be C tier? i can't defend COTW wholeheartedly anymore
>geniunely enjoying things is humiliating
>enjoying strive is humiliating because it means you're a trannie>i-it's okay to enjoy snk games, there there yosh yosh don't let the anti snk boogie man scare you........
This guy actually thinks that people actually give a shit about what do you like.Caring about what other think about your hobbies is more of a troon behaviour than just enjoying poisoned blazing bullshit games like Strive, where ruining Bridget was the least of the problems.

>>574769507The game concept is cool, but the anime was pretty dull. It's incredible how game adaptations just don't work. Garou and AOF will do the same path of SF the movie.
The best Samsho adaptation, ironically.

>>574771049I didn't play the game but I like the anime. Characters are cute.

instead of saying "capcom are you even trying with only 4 characters a year" they should say "capcom are you even not trying", suggesting that capcom should have less detailed models and textures and animations in order to have more characters per year

>>574782895Part of it dates to older games (you can argue that MotW was already KOF-ifying FF), part of it is just modern SNK game design style. It's not like they've got multiple different teams working on different games, some decisions will be similar across all of their fighting game franchises. If new AOF will be a conventional 2D fighting game it would be similar to their other games made since KOF14 as well. Actually, it would likely be even more similar to KOF than CotW is.Either way, more importantly, the post I replied to implyed that CotW is a KOF replacement. It isn't. It would take a lot more to actually turn FF into KOF than what you listed too.
>>574784434>you can argue that MotW was already KOF-ifying FFI'm a heavy old school Fatal Fury player and yeah I would agree with this. A lot of the gameplay feels more like KOF than Fatal Fury, and I mean that in a bad way. I also feel like CotW reversed some of that but obviously not all of it.
>>574782895>the patch added rolls for all knockdowns, like KOFYou mean like Garou.
in fairness hops were there in ff3 and aof2(?), before kof96 finally put them inbut ex to ex really is something more akin to kof since xiii that one'd be surprised that samsho didn't have ex moves, which makes it a superior modern snk game by defaultfunny how they call them ex moves when ex was the name for supers in darkstalkers and es was the enhanced special move name, it's all thanks to sf3 tho starting it like that
>>574785713Personally, I feel like it is a more nuanced situation with MotW playing neither like FF nor like KOF, even if it reminds of latter more on a surface level.Though if you'd really let your imagination run wild, you can also imagine MotW being an alternate take to where the FF series could go gameplay-wise after FF3, if Real Bout never existed, but informed by both the competitors work and their own recent experience making Dominated Mind for PS1.
>>574784434>>574785713I wish CotW was closer to MotW cause that would have meant keeping the movement of MotW, they kept all the previous systems which were already a mixed bag but not one of the actual best things about that game which was the buttery smooth mobility.
Make a new SamSho (not the Action RPG)Add Mai's ancestor from that one Genan arcade mode endingAdd more dynamic clothing damageAlso add Zoro from One Piece, One Piece spics are desperate for fighting game representation and are an untapped market I think, also he fits better than Rapenaldo and Maximillian DoodSell more than CotW yet again
>CotW feels incredibly slow and sluggish no matter who I play>"If I pick a big character, It'll likely just feel normal!">Pick Krauser>Game feels normal now>Now realising I don't like the feint system
>>574791221Samurai Shodown's guest characters were fucking weird too just not as memey as COTW, remember that one Chinese gachashit girl that got added?
>>574791705Warden For Honor was awesome though. Fun knight character, cool shoulder charges, and also his name is Warden ForHonor and his only real quote is "I fight .... For Honor"
>>574788698>samsho didn't have ex moves, which makes it a superior modern snk gamethis plus fully committed jumps and actual footsies is what gatekeeps mexicapes
Guys.What if.The October mystery character.Is Morrigan (and Lilith)?And Morrigan can also use Midnight Bliss in her Hidden Gear?
>>574789824If you watch the first matches they showed the game looked more like kof xv so they changed it to feel a bit more sf6-ish or samsho-ish with some Aof 3 too, the game just does not feel right like the mid range feels so incredibly off you have to play that constant stutter stepping street fighter CvS style, this is why more people prefer kof xv outside Asia.
>>574792385need these 2 in the rimjob olympics
>>574792385they're female so not a chance
>>574792980I think its because of the combo of slower walk and backwalk speeds and how easily punishing the game is. It's fighting to try and be faster Street Fighter but instead we just get slightly better SF6 which isn't a high compliment at all.
>https://x.com/GOOD_NEMO/status/2079393815765696520My personal Season 3 predictionsThe ones whose evaluations might go up are Ken, Kevin, and Krauser, I think?The ones staying highly evaluated as is: Karate, Gatou, BIG, Rock※The one I think is the strongest in the end is KarateI placed Billy and Hokuto Maru on the far right because both seem like they'll get character changesGoodbye, Hokuto Maru
>>574796068K'ek
>>574797091Yet again a Mr Karate crawls to the top tier just like in KOFXIII.These fighting game developers really need to emphasize character unique strengths and allow stuff like divekicks from backdashes, or jump backs again otherwise we just keep getting these shitty samey shotos with similar strengths whom outperform the rest which seems to always happen in these homogenized games.
>>574799215I just assumed Mr Karate is "meant" to be top tier, you get characters simply intended to be strong balance-wise sometimes
