>>577948995Firing Oda. It’s that simple. Replace him with someone younger, creative, competitive, and competent. someone with a broad vision who is not stuck in the past but respects it. Especially KOF. You can't just take the company's flagship title and throw it under the bus, like Oda did.Remember. A good director makes all the difference.
Hi bros, need some help redrilling KOF basics. In XV for example I am trying to do basic hit confirm eg Mai dB>dA. Why is it with some characters it feels easier (just hit it right after, or some characters dB>dB) and some others feeling like there is a pause in the middle where I have to time it perfectly for it to combo? Any tips on getting it to feel consistent?
>>578086842>picyou do realize that the bottom is 1:1 the original manga right
>>578086842>SNK copies SF6 mechanics into CotW...>Doesn't copy Capcom removing Ono-san as an SF6 producer...>Only removes Oda-san AFTER the game launches...
>>578086842>throw KOF under the busThe last game was just 4 years ago, the last DLC of which was less than 2 years ago and the last rebalance patch it got is just a month old. It also gets tournaments regularly and is a big feature of SWC.What kind of throwing under the bus are you talking about, schizo?
>>578089046Leave it to a hype and aura faggot to only care about the surface level and not the depth of a product. As long as the skin looks good, what's within can be cancer-ridden and rotting>>578090085KOFXV really shouldn't have been replaced as SNK's main competitive fighter since its roster is full of SNK's highlights and top faces. If it kept getting DLC and tournament support, the game would've been considered a fine alternative to a lot of the slop out right nowInstead CotW is taking up SNK's attention and not really doing anything positive with it. No real new innovation in the gaming market, no new content beyond more characters, mechanics that aren't anywhere near as fun as its contemporaries, even the game that came out before it and not a monumental visual improvement over the previous game they just released. If CotW focused on being anything other than a competitive fighter, it likely could have gotten some attention while SNK can safely rely on KOF to make money for content to pump into CotW, but instead we have to wait 5 years for mediocre fighting games instead of having a video game company produce a wide variety of video games to build a real reputation
>>578092196>KOFXV really shouldn't have been replaced as SNK's main competitive fighter since its roster is full of SNK's highlights and top faces. If it kept getting DLC and tournament support, the game would've been considered a fine alternative to a lot of the slop out right nowKOFXV already flopped. It wouldn't magically attract a significant amount of new players, especially as it got a higher barrier to entry, nor it would make a significant amount of money anymore.Also getting more DLC would've done nothing for KOFXV as everyone actually hype is already there and it still gets tournament support. Not just that, but it also got a big rebalance patch.
>>578097838>Wouldn't magically attract a significant amount of new players>SF6 and Strive put out mediocre "big content updates" and broke their player recordsMake real video games instead of this fucking underwhelming live service slop
>>578103071Yes, KOFXV isn't anywhere near SF6 and Strive in terms of the available audience pool to tap into.Hell, a lot of breaking records is just older players returning and combining with current newer players. Even if it worked for SNK games the pay-off would be meager.
>>578104180You know why those games don't retain numbers either? Because fighting games don't have innate pull to keep a general audience invested to begin with. Fighting games with their lack of interest in innovating or trying to be anything but bootleg Street Fighter will continue to do these record new lows for multiplayer gamesWhat is the reason to get invested in Fatal Fury over KOF right now other than "it's currently getting DLC"
Temu Mai (and Link) in the new fornighter trailer. I guess SNK said no?
>>578092196>Leave it to a hype and aura faggot to only care about the surface level and not the depth of a productwhat does that have to do with what I said? you dumb tourist.
>>578105336I was talking about the already limited fighting game audience specifically (not to be confused with the grifters that call themselves FGC).1v1 competitive games don't have any innate pull regardless of the innovation, be it fighting games, arena shooters or RTS.The only reason for an uninitiated to get invested in any of the SNK games is through the interest in the characters, but the only good route to go with that currently is emulation+reading the supplementary material and none of the games from the 21st century. And speaking on that front, KOFXV is a worse deal than CotW, even if both aren't up to the modern standards.
>>578092196>Leave it to a hype and aura faggot to only care about the surface level and not the depth of a product. As long as the skin looks good, what's within can be cancer-ridden and rottingBoth tell the same story. It's just one is pretentious and other one knows that it also can have fun.
>>578107361>I guess SNK said no?You expect me to believe SNK would say no to a crossover?
>>578088331Yeah, some links are really easy to pull, while others are that tricky. I have problems doing few d.B, d.A of some characters as combo startes fucking up many times. Like Kyo going into his command df.D to cancel into the kicks or borigas. I mess up half the time and few awful about it.
4CHAN
>>578082961Is it possible to get ranked games in kof xv? it seems like in charts there are more players. I played FF for 50 hours, but feel like switching now. The movement looks more fun. Also in dimamond mm is dead
Mai is gay
>>578120531I just played today after a long while and got matches quite easily waiting a minute or two. Too bad I'm that rusty and lost my rank only to make it back at the end.I'm mid rank by the way. Probably easier for higher ranked players.
>>578111890Okay thanks, good to know I am not alone. More practices I guess.
soon...
>>578150304>Die monster. You don't belong in this world!
>>578150304Criminally underused design, look at this protagonist-energy chad. And he was fully playable in...one game and one handheld port. And a broken boss in another.
SNK AAA GAME LEAKEDhttps://files.catbox.moe/2j5yn8.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/w9p7gl.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/xm3ovo.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/qruwd2.mp4

>>578162454with mods, yeah.
>>578152636It will be nice to see him again
https://x.com/gamebiznews/status/2090254949284454844Hmmm
>>578172083but what does it mean??????///
>>578172083>>578174771It’s just a bureaucratic formality.SNK Entertainment had already been in a dormant state since 2022, after transferring virtually all of its operations (game development, sales, marketing, and licensing) to the parent company SNK.Official sources and reports (Gamebiz, Automaton, etc.) confirm that the impact on SNK’s business is minimal / almost zero. No games, IPs, ongoing projects, or active operations were affected. It was basically just the legal closure of a subsidiary that hadn’t been doing anything for years. Just like the SNK.Official. Also, Andy is still gay (raughs).
>>578174771subsidiary that has been absorbed long time ago is officially declared dissolved
penis wave
Not the best-looking figures, but the masters team finally has figures
Oda really failed
COTW has officially outlived another game. The DSP of the FGC.
>>578204074They probably thought they can be the ones who brings FG to the 100k player mark
>>5782040742XKO'd
>>578204074I'm surprised they didn't kill the servers. Riot never cared about their players
>>578207214Most likely too many players to just closed down the servers and too little to be profitable
Newfag here. How do I deal with corner pressure in KOFXV? . Been playing this dude regular that plays Shermie on point and I get destroy by her just doing strings and standing just outside of the corner doing her far C, which tags me trying to jump out or pressing a button. I would DP but more often than not it gets blocked and I end up eating 70% and on point I don't really like using meter just for guard cancel/roll
>>578207539Active development halting basically means that most of the remaining players will move on. I'll give it a year before EOS.
>>578197820https://x.com/Joytoy_official/status/2090329654209269813
>watching CEO>Dark Angel playing Kyo>doesn't do any of the new routes, wonder why>try it myself, new buff where kyo can DP off the K ender of bodega and go directly into orochinagi loops>have to delay the K 1 frame after inputting 236A >236A as fast as possible>does like 30 more damageT-thanks SNK? This shit is cool for combo videos but I can already see someone trying this in a real match, whiffing the DP ender and dying for it.
>>578204074faster than expectedSince they don't care about fighting games and don't need to create an image or attract fans, they pull the plug at the first opportunity.also>infinite money china>infinite money arabia
>>578217274The thumbnail made it look like he had a big floppy dildo on his hands
>>578197820Not made by the A team for sure.But you don't have many options if you want a Saisyu figure.>50 dollarsit explains a lot
>>578212583Mostly, just block and wait for an opportunity. If Shermie is spacing her far.C, you can sweep her unless you're using a character with stubby legs. >I don't really like using meter just for guard cancel/rollYou should depending on the situation. GCroll can turn the situation completely if the opponent is autopiloting and for me, it's worse to lose a character than a bar of meter.If they are safejumping and it's not a hard knockdown, you can just regular roll/wakeup roll. If they are too close to you, you can wakeup grab (be careful with shatter strike or whatever the name is for qcb+CD).
>>578212583>I don't really like using meter just for guard cancel/rollGuard cancel roll is extremely powerful if timed correctly since you can be in a position to punish things you normally couldn't

>>578239985Why are you posting Marvel shit in the snk threads?
Lol this company never learns.
>>578240962oh >>578204074 gee >>578067963 i >>577833887 don't >>577608597 know
KoF02UMMotWLast Blade 2Which one should I invest time in?
>>578239985Oh pretty cool. Samsho7 is still the best game made by post-Playmore SNK. Tokon is fun, just too expensive for me right now considering the product.>>5782454852002UM skills do transfer to other KOFs. Well, maybe MOTW transfers to COTW? But I think those two are quite different.LB2 is beautiful.
>>578107361SNK’s too good for Fortnite
why do the bitchass players in this game never rematch? i'm sick of waiting 5 minutes for a game and then it's a one and done against some sweat who thinks I came too close to beating him to risk his precious points. In SF6 like 80% of people rematch, but in COTW it's like 20%
Remember 9K sales anon?
>>578248617>i'm sick of waiting 5 minutes for a game*3-10 seconds*see you in 2033*let me wonder why people are posting about tokon in an snk thread and then post about tokon
>>578248947ouch
>>578248947japan never cared about comics or hollywoodjust look at the sf6 movie's reaction
Even the gooks know that Puta is more interesting with the spics than with McLovin
>>578258592The fuck is this cope? Capeshit (especially MCU) was always popular in Japan and Hollywood is as popular there as everywhere else.>>578259750You mean they know that no one cares about rasslin, so they add at least one character that people would give shit about.
>>578248947do the japanese even like marvel vs capcom i dont think i ever really seem them play it and i dont know if it's just cause they dont like it or if it's just not worth it to them since they feel a player in the west will just wash them
>>578092196>No real new innovation in the gaming market, no new content beyond more characters, mechanics that aren't anywhere near as fun as its contemporaries, even the game that came out before it and not a monumental visual improvement over the previous game they just released.We just say anything now, huh
>>578242382I just don't understand why they're insisting on this AI nonsense. They have to deal with the reputation from now on of their new owners. The least they can do is NOT dig deeper into the grave.
>>578248947Starting to think people don't give a shit about fighting games beyond SF6. I genuinely did think Tokon would at least be a decent competitor, but holy shit.
>>578267370Why, yes, the growing popularity of one game doesn't equal the growing popularity of the genre.SF6 is just a Starcraft 2 of fighting games (except SC2 is actually good).
>>578268017>except SC2 is actually goodI too love seeing deathballs wandering around the map for 30 minutes
>>578267370I hope you haven't only just realized this. The way fighting games are designed now (to milk you for 100s of dollars, 10 years at a time) is not conducive to a healthy genre. People will and have ended up just picking one franchise to latch onto and defend with their lives, because they've poured years of their lives and money into it. This includes influencers with the communities and industry connections they're terrified to lose.
>>578268641Now if only GTAVI wasn't there proving that if you just have enough brand strength, people will give you hand and foot over a game they haven't seen, with an attached subscription for a non-existing online.But sure, we can pretend fighting games having season passes is some kind of unhealthy addition to the genre. Me thinks that the genre was just never suited for the casual mainstream.
>>578267259>I just don't understand why they're insisting on this AI nonsense.Do you really not know why?
>>578268848No. Beyond the fact they might not have anybody wanting to market for them or that they have run out of Saudi money, I don't see a reason for them to be doing this.
>>578248947RIP SNK vs DC ;_;7 Hello SNK Heroines 2
>>578268772>GTAIV>another IP notorious for milking people with shark cards for 13 yearsYou're proving my post right.
>>578268987Fair. Frustrating to admit it, but fair enough.
2XKO dying before even getting another mummy year of your support just left an open spot at all majors/tournaments for COTW to remain on the lineup regardless into and through 2027.
>>578268896The entire commercial and corporate sphere is pushing for mass AI integration, movies, games, art, music, literature, surveillance, coding, car UIs, whether people want it or not. SNK is part of that sphere. It's inevitable. Them being clueless as possible is also inevitable. So combine the two.
>>578242382I agree
>>578204074Imagine if 2XKO had won the Fighting Game of the Year award haha
Playing Vice on leverless is genuine suffering.
>>578268503Touche.Okay, SC2 used to be good. Hopefully the new patches will change things up.
Bump
>>578204074Give thanks to infinite Saudi money, cause if it were about profits, they’d have gone broke ages ago... again
>>578275147Maybe another 4M in prizes instead of GAMES could help them
>>578275684REVENUE GROWTH
>>578275147They're also supposed to pay these debts by 2029.
I would
>>578258592Yeah sure man
>>578269206>SNK is part of that spherenothey just think they arethey WANT to be part of it but nobody but its small group of nerds knows it exists
>>578275147Hope they don't just liquidity the assets and sell them away
>>578248617Funny since in KOFXV even when I manage to OCV someone, the person always rematch (I usually take it easy and try something different but don't throw away the match). It's been a long while since I played ranked in COTW. Usually go for the lobbies.
>>578248947Not even ArcSys games. This game release was worse than a collection released only two years ago.Not even the pandering with Peni and Danger worked for them.
>>578242382Pretty sad actually. Tactics was a fun spin off but from the way it looks, Metal Slug is just going to be a fond memory and an all time classic franchise and just that.>>578239985I wish he did stay after samsho7. Shizuka is the best boss of nuSNK but then, her competition are... Verse, Rock Lady and Rock cosplaying as his dad. But I'm glad neo_g is still helping with games.
>>578248947kek>>578267370I mean, people just like Street fighter and it gets a bonus from being a Capcom game>>578267259Unfortunately every single Japanese company is full into AI nowadays.
>>578268986Honestly, would've loved that as a rival to MAHVEL.
>>578218619I mean isn't that the spirit of Kyo combos? Either you go onto the path of needlessly adding just a bit more onto the end of the combo or you find your stopping point?
AAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEE AAAAANNNNNNDYYYYYYY
>>578318606mature needs to be tied up in a similar fashion
>>578314770Charlotte is a really cool character. Too bad she fell from the tiers in Samsho7.
>>578089046It's more like a bootleg version than a 1:1 but you do you.
>>578318606>give her these neat red wires in KOF14 just as part of her lvl3 animation >give her a new super in KOF15>only new move she gets is.. more rekkas
>>578322738they really pulled all the stops with their newly acquired triple AAA^3 budget
>>578322738Yeah, I also like Kyo's Climax in XIV more than XV and maybe few others.
>>578303725It's never ever, because Warner Bros are already making way more successful fighting games themselves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH3NAEOhsqclike what is shunei's xv climax heresomeone in this very general once tried to justify it as him "holding back" lol like you had to reach for your own conclusion there to justify what a shit looking move it is when it has less oomph than his regular supers
>>578327860I remember people here coping that Shun would get a new climax after finishing story mode.
>>578331406"story" mode lol
>>578275147Is there any chance that SNK's assessing what they did wrong with CotW and will try to learn from their mistakes?
>>578335175Fuck no unless somehow they announce like 10 new games before the end of the year
>>578335175Their next big game is seemingly still Art of Fighting 4 of all things so no they haven't learned anything
>>578335175Fuck no, if they were truly learning they would emergency go back to KOF only, and then start working on other genres.Whats the status of that SamSho RPG?
>>578335175>and will try to learn from their mistakesstill waiting for them to do that beyond implementing rollback
>>578335175I don't think their problem is CotW. What even happened to that "AAA game" from the Tokyo branch?
>>578336642Yeah sure not like they focused solely on kof for 20 and are still Perpetually bankrupt
>>578342826KOF is low cost except when they stretch themselves too thin like with happened with XII/XIII, the exorbitant prizes for SWC right now dont help either.
>>578343432SWK prize pool is crazy but if you see the numbers 4 millions don't make a difference for the company
>>578204074>>578275147This month really is horrid news central for fighting games huh?I wonder what tomorrow will bring.>>578268986Hold on now, Paramount managed to buyout WB right? Well they managed to get that money by getting Saudi Arabia involved, meaning that Saudi Arabia now owns a stake in both SNK and WB.There's hope for SNK VS DC yet and it's going to be Saudi propaganda!
>>578348371It still adds up, and it's a huge hole in the expenses for the esports division while not making any revenue/profit, Capcom is having the same issue which is why Capcom Cup has to do ppv now.
>>578348764this, it's wrong to assume that there are only one time expenses when it's an accumulation of such, snowballing due to their financial behavior and taking their money angel for granted
>>578351483True but I feel like All of you forget the resent expansions SNK is doing like the motion capture studio and the new harada studio
>>578351910Recent*
>>578351910those expansions don't not cost money, in fact, it raises the bottom line even more to finance that kind of thing, along with how many employees * average yearly salary/wage income and other things like leasing the office space and renting contractor building maintenawell you get the picture's why i said they're taking their infinite money angel for granted
>>578269597Why do people call them "leverless" now? They were always known as hitboxes before. Leverless doesn't even make sense in English, no one calls sticks "levers" except the Japanese.
>>578352408cuz there are different brands and hitbox is a brandas demonstrated by hitboxdrunkdriv i mean rep
>>578352408Hit box is a brand
>>578348764>>578348764I thought the esports division was the meaning of the buyout and everything. Just Saudi propaganda. That's not on SNK themselves. For Capcom it's a thing they need to sustain to keep their image but yeah, Capcom Cup and SFL are not sustainable. If the ppv doesn't work, I can see them making some cuts on that front. You can already see they are not investing as much on SF6 with no stages this season and redoing passes because they don't have that much new content to put in the game. Well, COTW is also not doing stages anymore but I still think everything up to season3 was planned but they're rushing to keep the game relevant. I don't believe possible future content to follow this insane pipeline.
>>578340586SNK's problem is SNK themselves and always has been, the company is ran by the dumbest motherfuckers on an executive level and development level. If they're still in the hole and relying on a loan from the crown prince then that speaks really badly.>>578353556No it's 100% on SNK, because they're the ones throwing the money around while not even getting a return on investment on their loan. If anything this is actually a Riot Games situation where the developers themselves were wasting the funding. If they're expected to repay that loan in 2029 then they're in much more dire straits than anyone realizes, because there's no fucking chance they're getting a breakout hit that lets them cover that cost.
>>578352408Its like calling tissue paper, kleenex. Or a hottub a Jacuzzi.Jacuzzi and Kleenex are brands. They are not the actual thing but to the credit of their marketing and social engineering team are now synonymous with the item.
even though i like to shit on snk all the time and never give them credit everi'm curious where this 2029 came from for a due time on repaymentsnot even monthly installments or monthly statements
>>578354732>Jacuzzi and Kleenex are brands. They are not the actual thing but to the credit of their marketing and social engineering team are now synonymous with the item.that's also what causes trademark erosion and why the previously trademarked escalator and aspirin became untrademarked (common usage)
>>578267370I think its more people hate assist mashers and its always been an autistic sub genre. DBFZ was an exception only because of the sheer weight that is the DBZ IP.
>>578334916They dont have the budget to make a proper story mode lol. >>578336642Theyll bust out another emergency KoF like XIV when they are on the cusp of death. So we might get XIV 2: Electric boogaloo
>>578356130>They dont have the budget to make a proper story mode lol.
>>578356130>They dont have the budget to make a proper story modeTrue it must all go to celebrities and licensing shonen characters instead.
>>578335175They just put out a Metal Slug website full of AI sloppa so no.
>>578336642>>578356130KoF is unironically the hardest to work on even after the transition to 3D.The emergency button is SNK Heroines.
>>578293951i've heard japanese people say the game was hardly even advertised in japan
>>578293951Can you imagine selling less copies of your game than fucking Arcana Heart
>>578367218KOF is really easy, they don't have to change up the movesets that dramatically, and all it is just porting over the previous game assets. Unless they go the retard route again and make brand new models instead of just touching up existing ones. They wouldn't have to worry about building brand new over encompassing systems which are a pain in the ass to build a game around. All in theory of course, SNK always finds a way to make life so much harder for themselves for no fucking reason.
>>578359085>and licensing shonen characters insteadand the thing is i like kenshiro and having him alone is cool butthe way they did him just was saucelesslike it just makes me want to watch more arcsys hnk kenshiro instead because it felt more alive despite the game being a kusoge, and maybe even attributable to being kusogehe seems less like kenshiro and more like just one of the boys now
>>578368835Based. Arcana Heart 3 is a better game anyway.Not-Nakoruru is fun.
>literally everyone on twitter is sucking on xv's giga cockas it should be the best game fucking won
>>578377890XV is a fun game as long as I don't get counterhit shatter shitted on (eating all other counterhits is okay)
>>578377890>xv's giga cock
>>578377890best game that didn't function for over a year.
everybody loves XV butBUT
>>578404121........ Andy is still gay
I wish I was good at KOF despite having played since 96>just be Chinese or Hispanic broI am...
>>578393592I wanna fuck that Nako
I can't do DP into super qcb qcf. At all. Even with the shortcut it feels impossible on pad. Any tips ? im on terry kof xv
>>578416264I have the opposite problem of having a hard time canceling qcb+p into Betty's qcf,qcb+P DM. So if you find anything, please tell. So far, I just practice to get it right but during matches I just ommit the qcb+p move and just do the DM after the juggle.
>>578404121i clearly hated it because sylvie wasn't on the launch roster
>>578416074she is 15
>>578425287On what scale?
>>578416264You have to do the hcbf longcut for the dp, and no the game doesn't explain this at all.
Now I want Athena anime full of ryona and jiggle
>>578417217That one is a dexterity skill, it's basically the only cancel I know of where you have do it as you said. It'll be some time before you start nailing it consistently.
SNK wants you to believe they are 2 different persons.
>>578404121SNK abandoned it too early

Might be a long shot but does anyone wanna play KOFXV right now? I can make a room if anyone is down.
What should I do against people full-sending combos on block? I always end up blocking long strings of EX moves, waiting for my turn, which never comes. Should I try to DP in the 1 frame gaps between moves, or rev guard? Or just let them spend their drive gauge?
>>578458716If you're just starting out, just block and let them overheat themselves out. It might take two strings but you'll be at a bigger advatange if they dump all their resources. Later on, you'll be able to recognize gaps where you can jab or DP out depending on the character or places where you'll be able to guard cancel but don't worry about that for now.
>>578457985Oh, sorry, not at home right now.
>>578437539Is that Orihime? I don't remember this in the manga. I don't think she did anything at all besides restoring Ichigo's sword after breaking the second he activated his bankai the funniest moment in the entire seriesIs the anime going full o filler?
>>578465719Forgot the pic.
https://x.com/FATALFURY_PR/status/2090257510481711345https://x.com/FATALFURY_PR/status/2090619904726884509SNK has been posting some Duck King stuff specifically on this twitter page and it's japanese counterpart only. Looks like he has most of his standard moves and ex versions of it besides all that new stuff. If I'm gonna guess, a lot of his weird new stuff is this games version of "beat rush" which has options for overhead and low finishers in some games.To be honest the trailer almost had him looking like he played completely different but these videos disprove that. He's gonna be a menace online.
>>578465719>Is that Orihime? yes lolbut go to /a/ thread for better info
New dev matches being posted on the main channelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixzorhT0ACE
>bleachmust be sudaca day>>578467640that's a lot more afterimages it looks like rather than just one
>>578465719Not really fillers more of add context from Kubo for as much as he ended the manga on his own terms he was still burned out at the time
kof 14 is 10 years old today bros
>>578471775From a quick glance here's stuff I noticed with timestamps:- He has a crossup that's brand new 0:03- He has both his FFS Break Storm(looks like rising tackle) and his Real Bout Neo Break Storm. Neo can be cancelled and combo'd with the Strong and EX versions to do Mr. Karate and Mr. Big type combos(that was in his trailer) 0:13- ...You can combo after a normal head spin attack(blanka ball), this one actually surprised me. This move in every game it's in is pretty safe even on block, so if it's still safe on block AND you can combo after it, Duck might be broken on delivery. For any Street Fighter players just think of Blanka Ball being safe and he can combo after it no meter 1:01- Duck is incredibly fast and can get in and has many ways to escape too. This is normal for him so glad they carried that into cotw, this one is all over the video- His air spin attack bounces him away on block okay wtf this move has always been risky but now looks safe-ish? And it looks like you can do it either forward or reverse but I'm not sure 0:18 and 1:32- Besides basically all of his specials being different levels of anti-air, he has a unique anti-air that his him duck low AND he can combo after it 1:40- Okay so there's this move they've been doing in the trailers that looks kind of like Geese's rekka where he can finish the combo, or go into an overhead, or go low where you see him crawling on the ground. He has something similar in Wild Ambition. Later in this video, he does the start up for it and cancels with a fucking GRAB. And then he combos after the grab 1:46
>>578484873The graphics gave the game a bad reputation, but I’ll always admire the large roster in base game and bold choices they made for the cast. especially regarding Alice and Xanadu.
>>578492207i do miss alice and muimui
they kinda cooked with dk ngl wish i had the skill to actually enjoy playing cotw
>>578492207Xanadu is cool, but I hate that they had to break up Korea Justice Team for him.
>>578498539Well, blame Kim. He failed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyzsnq6Uyq4One big thing I got from this one is that move where he walks away from the opponent is a counter

Huh. All the Capcom ones are "X Theme", even though at least 4 have regular names. Even Akari is Akari no Uta instead of Akari Theme. Guess they weren't sure of the naming conventions there.
>>578513950They really like Fatal Fury Special Duck. Which is fine except Real Bout Duck has his Duck following around him, while CotW Duck doesn't probably because they love Fatal Fury Special Duck so much.
>>578242382lmao
>>578242382>>578572914I told you. Fire Oda.
>>578560078>>578555817Wow, I didn't expect Rick to be trash tier
>>578581464He's hard to learn because his commands are weird and when you do learn him, he's got nothing great. Jae Hoon is better imo.
Why is comboing off of Kyo's EX DM in '02UM so damn fickle? It HAS to be two hits off the splash at the end, not one, not all three, EXACTLY two, and it's a bitch to time to get exactly that. Or maybe I'm setting it up wrong.
>>578583545You mean SDM Orochinagi? There's no Ex moves in pre-XIII KOFs.But yeah, there are many very specific and "just frame" cancels and combos in older KOFs. >>578569936There were some great matches there. Saw a very vicious Mary. I'll check the VOD later.
So they really added like 2 ASTs with Robert then said no more huh
>>578571554I don’t mind the Special love, it was how I got introduced to Fatal Fury outside of Smash Bros
>>578586442>SDM OrochinagiYes, that. I started getting it down a little better after posting, seems to work best as a SC off of 63214B, but I still can only seem to get enough time to do DP into super afterwards, whereas I see people getting a whole ass 63214D. And don't even get me started on confirming into hyper hop jump-in off of quickmax in the corner, no way I'd even go for that shit in a match rn, has me feeling like that dude who broke his monitor playing Stepmania.
>>578587616I just find it fun to quickmax and do a sequence of borigas and dokugamis canceling and ending with the DM.
>>578588059Yeah the go-to would just be bodega spin2win with punch super closer, but I like having corner combos to complement pressure getting them there in the first place.
>>578586524I guess
>>578586524Yeah, as much as we already have like 4 versions of Blue Mary Blues and 3 Diets, I would like to have the original ASTs of those.

>>578634284New info, he has an offense slide that hits the opponent and his classic slide that passes through his opponent. He also has his RBS/RB2 crouching combo(in those games it was hold down and tap C). You can officially combo into the rekka grab, and then combo out of it. Duck looks amazing, I'm gonna say this though.I'm a Duck King main in every game he's playable in and this game looks like he's going to have a ton of moves and mechanics. He might be hard to learn and that might be off-putting to new players but other than that I could see him being incredibly strong. I'm already thinking about how I'd beat Karate players.
>>578662752>He might be hard to learn Oh no. How am I supposed to fish for the 345th ex into ex into ex combo
>>578663665Funny, and yes Duck does have a basic ex special system from the videos, but he has a ton of other stuff. I was talking about the other stuff.
>>578664548>and yes Duck does have a basic ex special systemThanks for the astute deduction.

Lauyagami is losing this Ft15https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUavTbPqcAc
>Ugh no Chud, the game that had the worst launch of any modern SNK game, that had the CEO resign only a few weeks after release, online population that has decreased more and more to the point where it's consistently lower than their last game, lost so many IRL/tournament players that it's dead last in every new major(and even some small) tourney, has 4 famous guest characters including one of the most popular sports athletes that did absolutely nothing for the game, and that SNK refuses to ever mention the sales-performance of is totally not a failure!What's with this mentally-ill denial of reality with a good bit of SNK fans now? What's the point of pretending that COTW isn't a complete failure on every level, that SNK in-general hasn't been on a ridiculous string up fuck-ups, and hasn't brutally raped their own reputation? What does this denial even achieve? Do none of them actually want SNK to ever improve, or are they just content with SNK making mediocre products that no-one wants to engage with, while the Saudis bail them out constantly? Well that is until they get tired of them never actually making substantial profits, and sell them off. Or worse, dissolve them instead.
>>578679669KOFXIV and XV are much slower than the older games.
>>578684682>Do none of them actually want SNK to ever improveConsidering how many here want SNK to keep burning money on this piece of shit game, I'd say yes.
me just sitting here having been right for the past several yearssee you in 2033
>>578684794I can tell, christ the walkspeeds really are so sluggish for no reason.
>>578671582I used to watch Mike Hollow when he was dunking on NRS and Tekken, but it was ok because everyone was shitting on NRS and Tekken, rightfully so. Then he started going against the DOA fans, calling them gooners for being suspicious of the DOA7 director wearing the DEI pin and claiming "I JUST CARE ABOUT MECHANICS BRO" even though apparently he never played DOA before. Yeah, just focus on "the mechanics" and you're a loser for caring about the coolness and sexiness that the franchise is known for, see how well that worked for CotW lmao
>>578684682Yes this is all true but I like CotW
>>578682312>didn't play putaBoring
>>578684957I honestly can't think of another fanbase that is seemingly opposed to the company they like ever improving/doing better like modern SNK fans are. KOF 15 not having one its basic features not working like it should, that being the matchmaking, was unironically defended by a good bit of them. If not outright defended, just brushed-off as not that much of a problem. Which is honestly just as bad as outright defense of it. The reason for said defense is 98% of the time were because "the gameplay is so good", which seems to be the go-to excuse for practically everything SNK does shittily. Unfortunately for them, the vast majority does not find the shit SNK does acceptable, and their games perform the way they do as a result.
>>578688228>just brushed-off as not that much of a problembecause they totes have their friends and family(tm) plan to play with so they don't need online
>>578684682COTW is fun tho. You cry every thread automatically trying to tear apart the game.. but it's fun and people who have fun will keep playing and defending it. And somehow I get more games more frequently in COTW than ranked SF6. So population can't be that bad.
>>578688228The fanbase is just fundamentally fucking afraid of SNK leaving again like what happened from XIII-XIV. If they were fucking honest with themselves maybe we would get somewhere.
>>578669054Another Day was pretty good
>>578688375That's the only way fighting games meant to be played.
>>578696214okay oda
>>578082961if you had to guess how many players for cotw and kofxv are playing on consoles vs steam?
>>578707525Tokon shows the ratio is always 75% vs. 25% meaning CotW still doesn't break 1000 concurrent players considering both platforms
>>578708451Tokon got the same players by country distribution?
>>578713513The game sold 2k in Japan and 450k worldwide week 1. It's legitimately dead as fuck
zzzzzz.....
>>578684682>What's the point of pretending that COTW isn't a complete failure on every levelIt is and isn't at the same time. 2XKO is a real failure. MvC Infinite was a real failure. Two games with extraordinary levels of shilling that failed more miserably than any nu SNK game, which is impressive, considering the entire FGC tried to destroy SNK's newest game. So, COTW isn't an abject failure. But compared to where it could've been, it is.
>>578679669Influencers and other people have convinced a lot of fighting game devs to magnetize the players together. Hence the shitty jump arcs and backdashes, too.
>>578721343It just feels like fucking shit, like it doesn't control well at all, I don't understand how anyone could think this kind of shitty movement would feel good in any game.

>>578738407Nobody goes back to games unless they "fix" their reputation like SFV "did" so unless they remove Futbol Man and maybe DJ Man for good measure, CotW will never get attention. Somehow SNK actually completely made Fatal Fury unappealing to the general populace, so their only hope going forward are more SamShos and KOFsThat's legitimately all I can assume can be done because CotW now is in a significantly better place than it was when it launched and people are more disinterested than ever. Not even hate, just pure and utter neglect. Meanwhile people REALLY are still trying to push Tokon and 2XKO as anything but abject failures that should be played in comparison

Whenever the topic of SNK gets brought up in the FGC, it's always "Saudi this, Saudi that", even if it's about a good thing or about their old games like Metal Slug.Why not address SNK themselves? What about Oda? Does he not exist? Did SNK not exist before they were bought by Saudis? I guaran-fucking-tee nobody gives a shit with EA and people will still play their games, just like how nobody gives a shit about Ronaldo's supposed rape case of a Vegas roastie outside of the FGC. Saudis make way, way more money from Capcom, Nintendo, Bandai Namco, Square Enix... than SNK anyway. Yet, it's always SNK who gets the blame because the western FGC didn't grow up with them, and always tend to "other" SNK. Think of how COTW had one (1) bad beta, and couple of issues that were fixed within a year, but the FGC have long decided to axe them instead. Meanwhile, they are willing to give Tokon 99 chances and eating Sony's shit (Meanwhile, the chad shooter community fucking destroyed Helldivers 2 and gave Sony the finger and that just from the 132 country ban) or how 2XKO was shilled to Narnia as the savior of the FGC, only to die in less than a year (Mutiversus outlived it btw) and Pat openly admitting he never gave a shit about making a successful game and was just scamming Riot money for 10 years. Let's not forget this stunt may mean that no major company will want to invest in fighting games ever again, and will probably just be better off commissioning Capcom to add their guest character to SF6.1 character a month should be huge news, 1 stage a month should be huge news, suprise free DLC additions should be huge news, adding a balance patch + 2 characters to a 30 year old game should be huge news, but because it's SNK, nobody gives a shit, and the topic becomes "MBS woke up one day and decided to X", as if he's Mr. John SNK himself or as if SNK has 0 agency of their own.
>>578798062 (Me)If Capcom was the one who added a character every month for the next year, you'd see the FGC jerking them off and calling them the kings of fighting games for the next 10 years, you'd never hear them shut up about it, and how other fighting games should learn from Capcom and yadda yadda. Who am I kidding, these people will boot up SF6 ×10 times no matter how much they hate it before they think of playing COTW, any SNK fighting game, or any other fighting game in general. The Fighting Game holy trinity is now SF6, Tekken 8 and Strive (and Smash), nothing else. Makes me wonder if Harada's game will flop too and then the FGC will blame Saudis somehow. SNK should just fuck off from fighting games since these ungrateful fucks do not take them for granted and do not appreciate all the work and effort they do. If I ever hear Max say some shit like wanting a new Fatal Fury again, show that fuckhead his Resetera post, you know the one. Fighting game players can get fucked by slime rush and throw loops for 10 years since that's clearly what they want so badly, this is what fighting games are now. You play the SF6 or you don't play, those are the only 2 options. When CVS3 is released, it's going to be so awkward now that Max has to pretend he never cared about Saudi involvement at all, in fact, he only boycotted COTW because of Ronaldo and only that, don't ask him about EVO or his Brian F interview. But whatever. SNK has always been the little fish, so people will always pick on them and reduce them anyway, they're not part of the "kewl kidz 4 life", they've always been the "other guy". The FGC can be disgustingly hypocritical, and the worst part is that they're not even aware of it.
>>578791485Shame 15 took the edge off him
>>578798062>SNK has always been the little fish, so people will always pick on them and reduce them anyway, they're not part of the "kewl kidz 4 life", they've always been the "other guy"I agree with some of your points, but you should question why it is that way instead of making it seem like all of it stems from outside influence.
>>578798062>it's always "Saudi this, Saudi that"if it's any consolationof everything i shit on snk fori don't even care about the sowdey thing except to make fun of people claiming snk has infinite sowdey bux
>>578744729I can assure you, SNK will never do a new Fatal Fury game (keyword: game, they still might do animated shows) for the next 10 years after COTW, just like Max wanted.Boycotting Saudis and SNK will be very awkward when CVS3 is revealed. Or what? Will the FGC conveniently pretend they never had a problem with Saudis and SNK the whole time and it was actually Ronaldo they were boycotting all along?
>>578829793>Will the FGC conveniently pretend they never had a problem with Saudis and SNK the whole time and it was actually Ronaldo they were boycotting all along?the real fact is nobody actually really cared and if they cared enough about the product that is cotw, it would have dwarved all those fake concerns immensely to the point that people would actually buy and play the game and disregard and make excuses as to why they're buying and playing itif that has not entered your brain by this time then you are gullible to human fakeness
>>578829793The FGC is full of fucking grifting frauds which SNK needs to fucking wise up to already and stop trying to suck up to Max when he's been shown to be really unreliable for game testing. On a similar note, they also need to stop fucking sucking up to Capcom through their games and just let their games stand on their own merits and identity.Fuck get MK Tom Brady, or even Clayton, if they're absolutely desperate.
>>578798062>What about Oda? Does he not exist?Long answer short: yes.
>>578572914Don't these kinda seem like actual screenshots put through the shittiest upscaling filter?
>>578831193>or even Claytonthisclayton is just speaking his mindhe's a nerd and i hate nerds more than i hate mad agentsand i don't always agree with some of his pointsbut he has points
stupid idea,SNK should test its (fighting) games with radical normies
Better idea: SNK should just stop making fighting games for the ungrateful FGC and switch genres. Whatever reception they'll get there will be way better for them doing ARPGs, platformers, strategy games, animated TV shows while the FGC keeps playing SF6 and crying slime rush, throw loops, poor balance and poor support for the next 10 years.
SNK should pay vtubers to shill the fuck out of their games.

So, yeah. it's real.

>>578738407lmao. Going by is pattern over the years, he'll pretend to have never hyped up the things he pushed and influenced devs to do. His previous flipflops include:>fighting games are too hard>fighting games shouldn't lower the ceiling>auto combos and shortcuts are a good thing>I'm against the dumbing down of inputs>Hidden gears inputs in cotw are too complicated>I-I never said that>Put Rock in and I'll play it>doesn't play it>2XKO is making all the right decisions, dude>I always knew it was gonna flop.>2XKO is made for everybody. No inputs, no gatekeeping>It flopped without inputs because it catered to the gatekeeping FGC.>Dude! GAO- ROW>I-I don't like the way Rock is in COTW. He's the best he's ever been, b-but I just don't li -- I mean SAUDI! That's it. I can't, cause Saudi.
>>578744729They could remove Ronaldo and Salvatore tomorrow, and still not crack 1 million copies. SFV only turned it around because of the IP, and the fact the entire Western FGC's livelihood depended on it being the main game of the FGC. People like James Chen straight told people this. And even events like EVO lied about the qualifiers for a main stage game, (Tekken 7 surpassed SFV in entrants one year) just to keep the failing SFV on the main stage.It's not the 90s where a bad game flops no matter who made it. It's a different world now. There's too many liars and too much money involved for something like SF to flop and have people flat out refuse to play it.
What if the mystery character is a Cyberpunk guest?>The timing is too good>"Destined for revenge" can apply to season 2 because it has revenge elemets>It would help promote the series after it finishes airing and keep people engaged>The neon colors and the the way "Destined for Revenge" appears multiple times reminds me of David using the SandevistanI can see it being D or Talia, maybe both.
>>578882237I have a lot of hours in XV, I don't think people give it enough scrutiny for its weaker basic movement, and 02 players are fucking smoking if they think this game feels good to move around in, they probably only care about max mode shit, when that's one of the most divisive things if all else. I don't actually think anyone likes st.lights/cr.lks to max cancel anyways and people just have stockholm syndrome because that shit ruined KOFXIII and XIV02/02UM are pure fucking sex for movement so I don't know see how a 02 or even rushdown player would like the pacing of the game.

Mai Shiranui should be the face of KOF16. Don't know why always puts literal whos in the covers of these games
>>578892648Mai Shiranui couldn't even sell her own game.
>>578893116Because they put pants on her and covered her tits up and they still didn't fix this glitch
>>578893570It's been 10 years, people change their clothes. Classic is also already in her Hidden Gear. It's just that nobody gives a shit about Mai to play her games.
>>578892648Mai was on the disc of KOFXIII and that game still failed relative to how much it cost to make.
>>578886114This is actually pretty cool
>>578892648Not needed, her entire job is just being the irrelevant fanservice chick for the plot of any SNK game. What carries her is literally just her massive tits, never her lore or personality, and despite that, COTW is a massive flop anyway.
>>578757083I forgot she was in XIV. Also, I prefer Mian.

Duck's out, have fun
>>578082961Duck's more complex than I'd thought he be. Having some trouble working out beat rush fever.I'm disappointed in his standing animation, but that's probably because his walk animations are cool as fuck.>long goodbyeThey were trying real, real fucking hard not to just make him Dan Hibiki and have everything he does rage-bait, weren't they.
>>578947589>u__olol
>>578949753Dick's out, have fun
>>578885932Just like you said, they like the rushdown aspect. In fact, I'd go further and say they kof as been rushdown for so long, the hardcores now need the rushdown maxmode meta in order to enjoy a fighting game. They were the ones complaining about hard knockdowns in CotW as well, which also keeps you magnetized to your opponent. It appears what happened was 2002 UM popularized being in your opponent's face, but it still required high levels of skill. But over the years, with fgs getting dumbed down and people complaining about meterless DPs, execution, and zoning, the devs have gone even further with it, and put a rubberband around the players ON TOP OF the max mode meta.Like you said, again. You play old kof or any old fighting game, and you can jump or super back jump out of trouble if not cornered. You can back dash. Now, you can barely do that. You can literally feel the game's gravity fucking you over, like they're wearing lead boots. Same thing with projectile pushback. You cannot get people off you with them, and they sometimes do less damage than a standing heavy....which they also increase recovery for on some of them (on hit! in some cases), so you can't get people of you. They lowered the IQ. Trust me, other people notice it, too.
>>578950412>>578951738Bravo, Oda!
>>578917348Not the point. Still, I agree.

>>578952605Mai's full-on shota-fucking MILF face in that scene is eerie to see, ngl.
>>578953271Also the classic "shota lock-in pose"
Does anybody know if creamapi works with Fatal Fury CotW?The standard edition is on sale right now, but I'm not sure if cream works or not.

>>578957635>talks about Mai>this guy can't take his eyes Rock
>>578958941>this guy can't take his eyes RockOda would definitely approve.
>>578952137Not a fan of the general damage on normals and DMs being lowered to a point where a simple combo does more damage than a DM.Well, the game still feels better than SF6 and has crossplay, I guess.I think being slower bothers me more in COTW than the most recent KOFs.
ODA IS NOT GAY
>>578971346That's Obari, not Oda. If it were Oda's decisions, Mai wouldn't be in the game at all
>>578971346Andy is so lucky...
>>578971770Obari is bisexual in his best of days
sex
>>578978410>no jiggleboooo...
>>578978410if only she looked the same in game...
>>578893116>>578897743>>578904427Cope. Everyone loves Mai, and she's always super popular in wherever she's put. Just like how Terry is always popular wherever he goes. The games SNK makes are just shit in comparison to everyone elses, so they do badly. It doesn't have anything to do with the characters themselves. Like why would anyone waste time playing Mai in KOF 14/15/COTW, when they could play her in a better game where she has 10000x better animations, aesthetics, and where the game itself has an actual population like Street Fighter 6?
>>578988930If they can't even sell their own game or get recognized for their original series, they aren't half as popular as you cope they are. The only reason anyone gives a shit about them is because SNK has been violently forcing them down everyone's throats. If other SNK characters got the same fucking royal treatment as those two, I guarantee you they’d be just as popular, if not more.
>>578993202>If they can't even sell their own game1 or 2 characters 80% of the time won't sell a game, especially if said game is shitty. Even more so in this case where said characters are frequently in numerous other places, and done better. Mai and Terry are cool/attractive characters, but their coolness could only be maximized before by 90s/older SNK, and now by others other than SNK. Just look at these comparison videos for example. Mai in SF6 is tremendously well-made, cool, and comparable to what 90s SNK did with her(and all their other characters) in their games. She's one of the best selling DLCs for a reason. How she is in COTW and KOF 15 however, looks ugly, cheap, completely flaccid, and lame in comparison. Not even close to the great job Capcom did, and miles away from what 90s SNK did.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLaMbOM0FG0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw9DXEjRplA
>>578995939Anon, you're literally proving my point. Mai and Terry solo can't carry SNK for shit. Give Capcom Angel or Shermie and they’d instantly reach Mai level coomer popularity and mog Terry into absolute irrelevance.
Is this the lowest peak of all the dlcs so far?
>>578996958It doesn't really qualify as new content. They really should've added this nigga to KOFXV
>>578995939To be honest, I find Terry is clunky as hell to play in SF6 and Mai is the dumbest shit ever in that game. I rather just go back to Cammy, AKI or Zangief that I find more fun to play.Besides, Mai in SF6 doesn't play anything like in any previous game. They removed almost everything she had for aerial moves besides musasabi no mai. Just remove her ability to cr.MK into drive rush and her throw loops and see if people will stick playing her.COTW Mai has more of a problem with the system than the character itself. Great movement and actual different routes for combos but why even bother if you can just gorilla with EX combos with Robert and other characters?
>>578978410Wow, Obari turned Jenet into a full-blown cougar

>>578799294>The FGCThis is the biggest lie that the Street Fighter community ever told. There is no "FGC", everyone just plays their chosen game.
>>579051597I mean, there was an FGC. now its people fighting over the scraps thats left of it
>>578995939She just looks weird rendered in the RE engine.
I'm gonna be honest with you guys, visuals, aesthetics, and presentation actually matter quite a bit in Fighting Games for me. In-fact, I will go out on a limb and say they do for a good bit of people that consoom Fighting Games. I likely wouldn't have ever gotten into SNK's stuff in like 2014 if it wasn't for me seeing gifs of stuff like Last Blade 2, KOF 94-00, Samsho, etcetera seeing the stages, cool presentation, the characters design and more. Then booting up Fightcade to play them. Metal Slug, which is not a FG got me interested just off of how it looked alone.I think it's misguided, or dare I say cope to downplay the importance of appealing/good visuals. I mean I sure likely wouldn't have ever engaged with their stuff If I saw KOF 14, 15, and COTW as my first experiences with SNK if I were to be honest. I imagine seeing COTW's 20 FPS train-stage, and a character like Preecha in the foreground hasn't done SNK any favors in gaining an audience of interested new costumers.
>>578948572>>578950412>>578971346Wasn't expecting Obari to reference the Fatal Fury Motion Picture dance scene. Then again, Mai-fu is his waifu. Shame about no nipple bumps. They made sure to draw her nipples back in the original movie, even for the shots you can't see them.
>>579060750He has SNK overseeing everything he does now

>>579062118especially oda>ohu nou, lady partsu, weu must minimizeu themu
>>579060750>spoilerWell, I don't think they can get away with it like back then. I can see Obari demanding that, the team explaining to him why they can't do that now and Obari coming with including Jenet's jiggles for no reason as compensation. Just like Mary's inclusion in Krauser's animated short.

Who would be a better anchor in XV? Leona or K'? I suck ass at Leona's combos but it feels like her being able to do 50/50s and get confirms off them with the bomb earing would make her a bit better
>>579137587There's that one time where it works and it was worth it. >>579143909K' is just a better character overall. But whoever you feel it works for you. I can't play Kyo on point so I keep using Shermie.Maybe someday I'll get good with him.

>>579188756Kek
>>579188756fujo humor
>>579188756Andy is more straight now.
>>579055732You're not alone in being like this at all. Visuals in Fighting Games have literally always mattered a ton, and was an attraction for millions of people. They were one of the forefronts of showcasing progressing technology in the 90s like VF on the Saturn, and Soul Edge/Calibur on the Dreamcast. SNK fans now saying how they don't matter is them just saying that because SNK now cannot make anything visually-appealing to most, and that doesn't always look gens behind everyone else to save their lives. It's why the fanbase always has to overcompensate with the gameplay in their games by saying how they're literally the best thing they've ever experienced. It's never just good, or a little fun, but an amazing 10/10 ejaculating experience that trumps the others. They have do all that over-exaggeration and hyperbolic declarations with the gameplay, because what else would SNK have over anyone else otherwise?
>>579206252They always hype themselves up on their good writing and stories, but they haven't actually tried to do any of that since 2005
>>579206252I cared about the characters first, then the story and then everything else
>>579188756I don't know what's more cursed: bald Joe or bald Terry.
>>579212127Well I was including characters too when talking about visuals. It was meant to be all-encompassing for presentation, character-designs, animations, etcetera.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J2BA2q84sE
>>579188756WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
>>579216235>It was meant to be all-encompassing for presentation, character-designs, animations, etcetera.This is bullshit because SNK secondaries and tertiaries don't care about how characters look or animate beyond erotic frames. Visual fidelity alone doesn't sell a character, otherwise the SF6 newcomers would actually be popular and not literally whos. When the rest of the game looks actually impressively presentable, people focus on the surface level depictions the most and don't care if a game ruins the integrity of a character by completely changing them. That isn't to say lesser graphics are a good thing, they're a result of cut corners which makes less people interested, but we're in an era where fighting games have less depth than ever in terms of everything but visuals because this is all people actually care about in the long runAsk anybody posting KOFXIII gifs who Ash Crimson is and see if you actually get a detailed response beyond "SNK character" for an example
>>579188756Is this some secret ending?
>>579219446>not sponsoredwoah woah WOAH
>>579055732This is just basic stuff that everyone should know, but instead chooses to cope and lie about. Kudos for the self-realization, though.

>>579243783I think he already said a few times how XV it's his favorite modern fighter. If they had fixed the matchmaking quickly and paid him to shill the game, maybe it would be more popular with the burger FGC. Justin likes SNK games.
>>579260460Conceptually anyone who has ever posted an SNK sprite qualifies as a tertiary. If they know the name of the sprite they posted and it isn't Kyo, Iori, Mai or Terry that makes them a secondary. Without handicaps, SNK truly has no cultural impact
>>579261314And people want to believe SNK didn't let KOFXV out to die, cause they've been trying to Tokon CotW for over a year while at this point SNK hadn't even fixed XV's matchmaking

I don't get it.
>>579313082This but it turns it into an anime
>>579206252Biggest issue with cotw at least for me isn’t graphics as much as aesthetic the game is not very pleasing to look at, for example mvc 3 which has a similar art style despite being more graphically obsolete still looks aesthetically pleasing, everything in cotw it’s too stubby chunky and premature looking, not only character models but animations and general flow of the game.
>>579313082>Not even DLSS 5 can fix these shitty graphicsL M A OMAO
