>>574512903
EX 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

>>
>>574514880
The 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.

EX 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
>>
>>574515852
So 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
>>
>>574515946
because clark doesn't need to be even stronger than he already is, and I generally agree with you, but clark would be the exception

>>574516107
Then 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.

I 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

I 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.

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).

SNK 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.

Alice? 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.

how 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

No. 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.

Smart 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.
>>
>>574571392
Wouldn'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.
>>
>>574559338
It 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.

Smallbrained 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.

That'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.

>>574676873
Kasumi is two seasons away. Also, I think there will be a Kizuna rep but I think it will be King Lion and Leo.
>>
>>574678751
In 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 characters
It 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.

Eh 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.
>>
>>574682328
Alfred 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
>>
>>574682328
Season 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 Gao
There's no way that they aren't going to be playable.
>>
>>574684880
Kek, 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.
>>
>>574684880
Leaks 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.

The 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.

Part 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 FF
I'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 KOF
You mean like Garou.
>>
in fairness hops were there in ff3 and aof2(?), before kof96 finally put them in
but 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 default
funny 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
>>
>>574785713
Personally, 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
>>574785713
I 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 ending
Add more dynamic clothing damage
Also 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 Dood
Sell more than CotW yet again

And Morrigan can also use Midnight Bliss in her Hidden Gear?
>>
>>574789824
If 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.

>>574792980
I 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.

My personal Season 3 predictions

The 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 Karate

I placed Billy and Hokuto Maru on the far right because both seem like they'll get character changes

Goodbye, Hokuto Maru

Yet 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.
>>
>>574799215
I just assumed Mr Karate is "meant" to be top tier, you get characters simply intended to be strong balance-wise sometimes
