Welp
the thread died clearly because OTHER COMPANY sabotaged this general, snk's failures are immaterial
I can't believe Reina killed /neog/...
Ok...I'll give you Reina, but in return Ronaldo have to be half naked.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsbFwzosU8sAre you guys watching?
>>584644769yes
According to our FGC e-celebs, you have to boycott SNK products (owned by Saudis now)But somehow, it's okay to support and talk about EVO France (owned by Saudis now)On another note, Reina looks sick in CotW.
Go1 looks weird without glasses
>>584646258>On another note, Reina (owned by Saudis now) looks sick in CotW (owned by Saudis now but they regret this one)

>>584644769Chinese players are truly on the same level as the Japanese.They should travel more.
>>584646258SNK just needs to learn how to do good graphics and most people will stop bringing Saudi upNot exactly the same thing but Nvidia pretty much proudly brags about how it lends it's tech to governments in the Middle East and helps them turn kids into mince meat but their shit looks cool so no one cares. Haven't seen one person complain about the new VF being made in close collaboration with them.
>>584646258i think a lot of people get hung up on the ownership percentage without realizing that companies like capcom who have been making more and more money each year are pulling in more for the saudi's despite owning like 5-10% of the company
>>584649813>Haven't seen one person complain about the new VF being made in close collaboration with them.I don't think most people in america really give enough of a shit about VF right now to even consider bitching about it though thats probably going to change when it gets closer to release
>>584644769Wait, that's a restream? What is the main stream?
>>584652758Nevermind, I found itKeep Fighting for your Fame!
>>584650024Either they know and ignore it to fit their hypocritical narrative, or are genuinely retarded. (American education moment)
>>584655732The former. Americans are capitalists; there is no way they wouldn't know this.
>>584656396The average American (and the average person in general) doesn't know about such things anon
Thought she was a new character but it seems to be Mai. Would work as an alternate costume. Wish this was Preecha as a hot nerdy girl.
https://x.com/SNKPofficial/status/2111013055912096041Fucking finally.>>584659470Well, this one could use high heels with no problem.
>>584661061Cringe
>>584661061I genuinely thought Terry's classic will be an exclusive preorder bonus the entire game cycle.
>>584659470>Would work as an alternate costumeDon't get your hopes up, it's just lazy, shameless recycling of a dead game from years ago. Typical SNK shit
Big Bear waiting room
>>584662441Same here. I'm glad they changed their mind about that and making Mai's classic costume available.I supposed the CR7 costumes are free then so you won't have an option to not get them.
the fact that it took a year and a half for a costume already in the game and then they charge 3 dollars for it kek
>>584667103>I supposed the CR7 costumes are free then so you won't have an option to not get them.that'd be funny>costume already in the game: 3 dollars>costumes we just made so you can enjoy more of your favorite sowdey investment: FREE FREE HERE TAKE IT ITS ALL YOURS PLEASE USE THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE ESPECIALLY IN TOURNAMENTS
>>584667103>>584668054Pretty sure the only reason they're free is because Ronaldo is locked out of Color Edit so this is the only way you can give him alts. I think they know nobody would want to actually buy them at this rateIf they were gonna sell DLC costumes for Ronaldo, it should be turning him into a Donut Steel with a different name altogether
>>584668253it just adds to the irony of it all, regardless of such a circumstance of color editafterall, they also gave you kain's costume and some capcom guest outfitsthey'll probably even give out a tekken alt for someone for freebut mai's costume that was already in the game? disc locked content hope u got 3 bux
>>584662770Just reappropriate it as her cousin or something who cares bruh too good to be wasted.
>>584668679Can you color edit ganacci? If so why not ronaldo?
>>584669472Given Ronaldo didn't get Arcade/EOST on launch I could have assumed it had to do with how crunched and rushed he is (he's listed after every single character in S2 besides Nightmare Geese and Mr. Karate) but given that update didn't add Color Edit, I'll instead have to assume they had stipulations that he couldn't be showcased outside of his jerseys. Kenshiro is the only other character right now that can't do Color Edit
>>584669472i've heard sega and namco restricted changing a lot of the color schemes for pacman and sonic in smash, it's just hearsay but pacman couldn't not be yellow or some shit and sonic had to remain within the bluish territory or adjacent hues in the spectrum, like not green or red
>>584670492It's funny this is true only for official Bamco merch to portray Pac-Man in other colors via technicalities like "he's a tennis ball" or jerseys or some shit. Bamco are retarded
>>584662770>it's just lazy, shameless recycling of a dead game from years ago.It's just a cute reference anon calm down
>>584669472Salvatore probably signed saying that they could do anything they want because he doesn't mind. CR7's agents since I doubt he came close to anything with the game besides recording those lame ads probably didn't agree with the color edit and made a deal with the jerseys later and probably these new outfits.>>584669885Chun-li is also limited. You can't freely color edit her thighs.Also, reminder that you could customize skin color before the first patch that actually added Salvatore and CR7. They're not on the disc, but you had more options of color edit.
>>584675061>you could customize skin colorI really wish they'd add that back, no one would refuse to buy the game because of the game including that and it would only make color edit better. There are only positives from it.I wonder if it could be modded back in and people would see it online.
Skin color edit was removed because of one african character in the roster… tanned Mai…
To be honest even though I believe skin color edit is harmless, it would have been used by haters to push their anti-saudi propaganda even further. So theu saved themselves from the hassle of being called racist
>>584676445I understand that at launch, adding it back now wouldn't matter though. They could with no harm
>>584676776I also think they should add it as a final update before ending support, but considering they will have to sell other games, shit like that will still harm them long term.

Are you still watching?
>>584680378>snkplaymoreslothaha lmao
>>584681165Is this anime/manga even any goodSeems to be about delinquents which are usually fun but it seems to have some time travel bullshit going on?
>>584681165did i even start yet
>>584681921It's really bad. The main character (the guy on the right) is always crying like a bitch and he does absolutely nothing except being scared, everyone is a fucking midget and the time travel part doesn't make sense because nothing is explained.That said, I don't think the collab is bad. The manga is decently popular and both new characters are the coolest.
>>584682881You know a franchise is cooked when the collab is not the main character
>>584683103like evangelion when it's always asuka instead of shinji
Kof16 is looking good!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rYg5cyfWTI
>>584682881SNK missed the peak of it's popularity though, it was mega popular for about a year and then people stopped talking about it as much
Legends gathering at Harada's studio
>>584688529Can’t wait for his game in 2030 and for the mashup with Super Mario 64
>>584688529>ono: "can i come??? we made a new legendary wolf game and that has the word legend in it">harada: "sure maybe in 2033"
>>584691257*odathey all look alike
>SNK DMCA'd Metal Slug Attack revival projectsWell, it was fun while it lasted
>>584692108did they really expect to not get dmca'd in the first placehave they learned nothing from the past, or even recent eventsyou'd swear they had OLD TIMERS diamond dozen memory loss diseases affecting themor did they do it on purpose as a way to get attention and knowingly have the plug pulled on them at the last second so they wouldn't actually have to finish anything
>>584688529Fuck the troon lover kodaka why is he there
>>584692108>be an irrelevant company>make sure to stay irrelevantIt looks like SNK wants to get the "Adobe treatment"
>>584692108Makes me wonder if NM will do the same to the people trying to revive KOFAS
>>584694541Yeah >>584692802 I guess they don't remember anything from back with Hi Score Girl.>>584695790Probably.
>Check'em
>>584701856Almost
>>584704018almost nothing, implying you can get dubs on this board
>>584692108People shouldn't be talking about their fan projects until after they can release it, they'll never learn so this'll never stop happening
Reina is CUTE
>>584708478I kinda like that we're getting a twig rather than another bimbo. Petite girls need some love too
>>584709028I don't think Reina counts as petite.
>>584715390Other Tekgirls are slampigs in comparison especially Asuka and Lili. Reina's a result of gigaautism since her dad had her when he was in his 50s
>>584715781I like Xiaoyu.
>>584720481We know Xiaoyu pretending to be Jin
>>584721274What about Panda?
>>584715781lili's the one i would have chosen for the guest, she's easily the one to best grab attention without being overly safe because she's still outside the main character bubblebut then oda would have had a heart attack trying to compensate for such a choice by making naked rock howard costumes freely available
>>584724479If it was Harada's choice it would've been Lili, but CotW is still playing with the idea that the fighting game characters need to compliment the CotW cast which I'm okay with. I could've gone with either since I like Lili tooIt still makes the anime and celeb collabs look lame as shit in comparison, regardless
>>584724675Yeah, that's why they chose Ken over Ryu. In the Capcom vs. SNK games Ken was always Terry's rival like how Mai and Chun-Li were.
>>584724675>need to complimentthat's less of a need and more of a compulsion for reasons like ocdworries for that can make things too blendy and why nothing really stands out remarkably about this game
>>584725073That's mainly a fault of a lot of the MotW cast not having very interesting characterizations to really "compliment" and has nothing to do with the choices for the guest characters in CotW. It's the main reason only Gato, Tizoc and Jenet actually made the jump into KOF. Ken, Chun-Li and Reina compliment main characters but still stand on their own as reasonable collab choices in general. This is mainly because they are main characters with their own personalities and aren't just world building props like Hokutomaru or Kevin are. Hell it's nice that Reina gets ANY attention because it would've been infinitely easier to just put Heihachi in this gameI don't understand the point you're trying to make when you ask anyone about those prior characters and you're likely going to get a more positive reaction about their inclusion versus other choices like Luke or Azucena
>>584725497>when you ask anyone about those prior charactersif i did ask ~anyone~ a lot of it is going to be "what's an snk/cotw" "hey i played king of fighters on the super nintendo" <-- someone literally said this in person when talking about kofxiii
>>584725734oh and let me not forget "hey its that dude from smash bros/street fighter"and i won't explain my point
>>584725734Yeah that checks out, but if you ask them if fighting game crossovers in a fighting game fit better than the anime or celebslop they'll likely go "why did they put Ronaldo in this game"If you told them it was to get you to play it, they would laugh. Meanwhile a less embarrassing CotW would have had more reasonable crossovers and collabs and been easier to suggest to somebody just to try it out. But honestly I think that would've also required a massive overhaul of the gameplay system too because this shit was doomed from the start
>>584725926>"why did they put Ronaldo in this game">"and not messi, he's better"and this is just a census from me randomly quizzing people who they'd choose between the twowe are on the topic of guests so to stick with it, my goal in choosing characters wouldn't be "we have this more popular company's character", it's choosing the one that people would be interested in trying on another platform other than their own, because simply choosing the safe option doesn't mean much when most people are probably satisfied enough ignoring the game the character is guest in to just stay in their own laneit's already been that way for a while, just look at chun and ken, not really much of a gain there when juri at the least would have gotten you morenot the most well known compared to chun anyway, but in her own right she's a big star character with less oversaturationlike you ask anyone what female character you know from sf, 99% of the time the answer's gonna be chun, right? we understand that already, but that's really more beside the point than a lot of people here would care to admit, because the reality is an answer like that won't actually do you much good in the long run, not even the short run eventhey're for people who buy brand name clothing, brand name merch, etc, they don't venture out much unless it's going to a restaurant their friends are inviting them to, and they don't care to because they aren't obligated to, so trying to sell people on playing cotw by using the oh so complementary reina is actually more moot than people here would like to think, and the only people who'll care are those who are sick enough of tekken to really abandon it, and that's assuming they'll go to another fg instead of elden song or w/elili, on the other hand, you can drag people out of their caves at least for a moment with such a choice, executed right anywaythen again>nu-snkcontinued in reply
>>584725926>>584727746as i was saying, lili is exotic enough of a choice while being main character levels of popularalso gets the waifufags, and waifufags are amongst the more willing to venture out to other games, even if most don't necessarily play most of them to a significant degree of competency or even if their time of staying in the game is degrees shorter, but that's better than the nothing that snk has got so far>But honestly I think that would've also required a massive overhaul of the gameplay system too because this shit was doomed from the startthat's part of itcoughvisuals
>>584727746>>584728030Juri would not have gotten you more, she doesn't fucking show up on anything and Capcom doesn't treat her with any respect to begin with which is why she has a completely different character in every game. That would've made sense back in 2010, but in 2026 Juri would've just made people ask "why not someone iconic like Chun-Li or Cammy? You really need to stop harping on Juri as the only good newcomer because that Juri has been gone for over a decade. She doesn't even top Capcom fan polls, the same JK shitters like Sakura and Makoto do, and especially Chun-Li who continues to be the girl Capcom themselves push because they can't do better than herYou can say a lot but it's no surprise nobody listens to you
>>584728812>she doesn't fucking show up on anythingthat's not the character's fault, that's capcom>why not someone iconic like Ch--yeah, really, where has that gotten younoone carednice hat
>>584728972She's not even in the movie nigga
>>584729045oh that movie that flopped like cotw and was a total joke to have fun with twinkletoes and cody chodes
oh hey mai shiranui was in the kof movie so that means the kof movie wasn't a total disawhoops
How do other fighting game characters treat their female characters? I know SCV tried to replace theirs with their kids, and everyone hated them. Didn't help Sophitia's kids were unlikeable despite the story mode being about them.
>>584729123It just means you can ramble and say basic things but they don't mean anything because it's just echoing sentiments of "do better" as if a main core problem isn't the fact the industry is in a state of putting out garbage and trying to hide it as issa quality because of sleight of hand that just doesn't work anymore. That's why your posts got drowned out in the SF general because nobody fucking cares about your "issa quality" posts when they're busy being jealous over the output of content to begin withThey have higher player counts and sell millions and STILL bitch because it's not enough in this climate. Things that were fun years ago are no longer fun because the fun that was once there got sucked out in an attempt to profit off of these nicher avenues like tournaments and live service shit. That's why it's more fun to shit on these games in generals like this because the developers can't put out anything legitimately worthwhile to everyone and anyone anymore. You're going to be at this shit for the next decade regardless if SNK gets better or closes down again, which at this point I fucking hope for because what they're doing is legitimately embarrassing wanting to be a deliberately lesser studio than Capcom who I already have zero respect for to begin with. It would be better for IP hoaders in general to just stop existing, because it's clear what the nebulous idea of an idea owning an idea has resulted in
let me spell it out for youyour decisions suck, your reasonings suck, your logic sucks, snk's decisions suck, snk's talents suck, their workflow sucks, their visuals suck, their gameplay isn't interesting enough to make anyone care about it except for people trying to pass themselves off as caring about what's more solid and the lesser of two evils out there in modern gaming, their financials suck, and sowdey is really eating it right now so gl on infinite money for snk in 2033 if we in our great country don't bail them out, so your company better start making money or it's gonna go by the wayside and get bought out by another agent, perhaps some company in california that you'll REALLY appreciateyou can go off about how you or noone listens to me and how my hypothetical choices won't change anything but you're not changing anything now and the company's going down the drain faster than a cheater's wedding ring, and i have a pretty decent track record of predicting outcomes if i do say so myself, and even if i'm the only one saying soit's woman mentality here, to be a jaded neocon who doesn't want solutions, it just wants the drama so it has some room to complain, while ironically trying to call me out as merely complaining when i'm actually proposing ideas>the industry is in a state of putting out garbage
>>584729712Tekken doesn't really care and just tries to preserve a perfect, sub-30 version of every character and will replace time skip characters with children or freeze them like Nina/Anna. The except so far is Jun, but we don't know how old Jun isSF doesn't have a fucking clue what to do with their girls at all, that's why between games they'll get redesigns with completely different personalities or presentations since telling a story is extremely hardGuilty Gear turned everyone except Dizzy into an egirlSince BlazBlue was all a single story arc, nobody really changed when they got added to the roster (also a result of the HD sprites)Those are the main ones I can think of
>>584736469oda is more turned on by the shota on the left
You niggas should realize by now that you will never get what you expect from snk, all their future games will be as mediocre as cotw, similar graphics, animations, writing, marketing. So you’re just wasting your time. I know you only care about kof, so you can come back after 4 years when kof16 drops.
>>584742102What future games?
>>584742421Your mom’s pussy + ass + boobs
>>584742421the ones in 2033 duh
>>584729712Basically Leixia, Natsu and Pyrrha replaced Xianghua, Taki and Sophitia. Alpha Patroklos replaced Setsuka (her disciple). Regular Patroklos is a completely new style. Hilde, Ivy and Tira returned. Viola is Amy but in a new style. Seong Mi-na, Cassandra and Talim had no replacements Talim made no sense not returning since she would be around the same age as Hilde. Kilik was "replaced" by Xiba even though he's in the game but in a new "function".SCV had many problems but only the roster. EX moves in 3D fighter were kinda cancer but nowhere near what Tekken 7 and 8 did.Well, they all came back in SCVI anyway.As for others:Mortal Kombat have no qualms of replacing or ditching characters that are not among the main "core". MK1 completely ignored everyone from the Special Forces including Sonya Blade. They removed Mileena in MK11 to the point of people pestering the devs so much to make her one of the last DLCs of the game. But MK also just genderbent Cyrax and Sektor into women with Ironman armor for no reason.Dead or Alive just keeps adding girls and even genderbent one of the bosses from an earlier game into a tengu woman. There aren't many others "still alive" long running franchises. Virtua Fighter seems to have replaced Sarah with Stella maybe going on the SCV and MOTW route.
>>584730027>Since BlazBlue was all a single story arc, nobody really changed when they got added to the roster (also a result of the HD sprites)there is one time where you lost lambdaand then they gave her back to us anyway because everyone really liked the only good episode of the anime which she was in which was based on a "gag" ending of one of the blazblue games

>>584826186Only if it's around U$10. Well if you have a disc, might be worth it for a bit more.
>>584826186>>584845289Oh yeah, sealed disc comes with Season 1 and Terry Bogard.
Since people are vibe coding games to make native pc ports, /neog/ should recompile old SNK games.
>>584807559there's a reason i like bbcf's combos more than other games' combos, there's unique startups and followups and for characters like litchi, can be really dependent on a lot more variables like position in the stage and relative to your opponent and her staff placement>>584846419snk would still fuck it upthere's also a burst mechanic
>>584847597>there's also a burst mechanicthat was meant to be part of the first quote's part, dunno how it got below the 2nd quote
Why can’t SNK design hot girls? All the other Japanese companies are mogging them with their new girls even fucking bandai namco. SNK can only beg for collabs like Reina to market their games, but hey we have Preecha atleast.
>>584855146i thought people didn't want new characters!or maybemaybe there's things such as context
Diabolical.
>>584856908Fire homOda!
>>584846419I did read a post a while back on how difficult it was to read machine code in the ROMs of old SNK games. They called it "spaghetti code". This makes me a bit skeptical about vibe coders trying to work on them...
>>584859219>spaghetti codeit probably really is the textbook definition of itstill think they do it now and that's part of why they have such weak ass optimization, and due to them hiring freshies out of college and dog game devs

>>584867857Looks like an outfit she'd wear in an intro pose and then rip offTo be honest, just give Preecha a better hair color and have the faces in general not look like shit in the game and she'd look fine, the color edit stuff benefits her a lot. Also give her Joe's ass taunt you cowards.
Cute dog vtuber will play CotW now, will she laugh like the other one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOZfbpgTpMI
>>584877719Dead link
>>584877719The ultimate irony. The so-called long time Fatal Fury #1 fan kills the game, then it gets saved by vtubers months later...Which one of you wrote this?
>>584877719she cancelled the first stream due to technical difficulties and has made a new onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uqt2lT09Cw
>>584878552*vtubers who have NEVER heard of Fatal Fury btw, much less even knew SNK made games other than Metal Slug.
>>584878593gameplay is look kinda choppy, she might cancel the stream again
>>584683103Ryubros...
>>584856908yikes!
>>584878743I guess the stream is cancelled for today. I hope she reschedules it.
>Real possibility of Obari animating Reinag-guh...
>>584867857that's definitely a sexier hairstylesnk could never do it though because its amateur modelers don't know how to do shit like thathell they couldn't even make charlotte's hairstyle so they gave her a generic ass ponytail look
>>584876292>Also give her Joe's ass taunt you cowards.

>>584865758Lmfao go1 just gave up with his face so angry he dropped marco and mirrored karate
>page 10 again...
>>584909002nice balls
>>584899019korone will save us
>>584911710She couldn't even stream it today. The game performance was terrible
It's easier to fix Preecha by making her sexier/cute and to fit her science theme better. But how would (You) fix picrel and make him cool? Hard mode: He has to stay bald.
>>584916440Better writing really, he's way too soft. He should be the perfect representation of Kain's "only the strongest succeed" by having him legitimately not give a shit about the pain he causes. Don't make him a brooding edgelord like K', just have him be as Ow the Edge as possible. His design is the least of his issues
>>584916440
>>584916440make him talk about the strength of family
>>584916440Lean into the edge more, fighting game edgelords are usually fun (or at least funny)
>>584917092>He should be the perfect representation of Kain's "only the strongest succeed" by having him legitimately not give a shit about the pain he causesThat's what they did in the last Wolves Destiny no?
>>584924618Who knows, there's an inkling of an idea there but unless we see Kain and co. actually acting as antagonists in later chapters of Wolves' Destiny, it won't go anywhere. Waiting 5 months for possibly a filler story isn't particularly satisfying or fun to theorize about
usually when writing male characters, almost the archetypes, stereotypes, whatnot, hold true in some fashion, so personalities have a good amount of weight even if normally it's preferred to have hair on his headbut the character should have an objective or purpose in life and that function can be riddled with distractions or obstructions either in the form of friends or enemies or other sapient beings or other assorted manifestations like the environment or his own limitations, and it shouldn't be them solely revolving around someone else like they're the orbiter and not an orbited oneor you could just make vox REALLLLLY like grapes!
>>584916440Should’ve not replaced Grant to begin with. Also no you can’t fix Preecha or any other character, just create newcomers that are good.
>>584924618Wasn't it an opposite since he was questioning Kain's "utopia"?
Reinafag here, how do I play Hachi?What is he supposed to do in t6?Any guide?
Hey Laocorn full render
>>584929368This will be the final season. There is no space left on the screen to add any more characters.
>>584929368Finally having to wait till November for the first good season 3 character is depressing
lol, wrong thread
>>584929368It took me a good half minute trying to find him. They really need to change the character select just to icons and boxes
>>584936397It's funny how much the CotW alt in SF6 looks so much better than the base alt cause it just looks like a more detailed textured version of her CotW model instead of a JAV actress
>>584931557except they're adding Reina in Dec. Retard.
>>584938048there are probably a lot of snk fanboys working in capcom rn who wishes snk would have stepped the fuck up instead of have this amateur hour clownshow they're working withthey're like walmart workersjust there for the paycheck
>>584941140The same fanboys fucked up the base model by modeling it poorly after the Shinkiro artwork. SF6 would've likely done better if it had a more cohesive art style (and less shitty newcomers) but they lucked out it's Japan's favorite game since otherwise I feel like Capcom would've pulled the plug on content a long time agoIt's going to be really fucking fun watching everyone scramble when Tifa doesn't hit Ingrid's spikes. I think that'll be the finale nail on this genre's coffin
>>584941525>SF6 would've likely done better if it had a more cohesive art styleand how would cotw have done better? or is it totes UHHH THE VAMPIRE CIRCUS IS OUT TO GET SNK UHHHH CONSPIRACY UHHHH
>>584941658CotW deliberately wanted to be a lesser SF6, so it deserved the reception it got. Well, a little less, but the Ronaldo bullet kinda made sure it was never ever going to make a come backEven after all the SFV-tier content push it's still not enough because there's nothing really to be interested in. Fighting games are unappealing
>>584941824get off the other-genre rhetoric, we're passed that rn, because even if snk didn't want to be capcom junior, it would still faileven if it made something novel but engaging, it would still fail because snk can't into things that draw dimes
>>584942080we're past* thatgotta remember that passed is the pt verb that doesn't apply to predication
>>584942080But it does, and Capcom themselves can't even push their brand any further than it has. You have to actually look outside your bubble for once to see how fucking bad it is everywhere, and the fact SNK chooses to not just stay inside its bubble and believe this is the path to "success" will always be why they keep producing mediocre garbage. They have no vision, Capcom's vision is bad, other company keep trying to copy Capcom's vision badly and the genre as a whole is completely stale. Gamers will pretend that graphics don't matter and then only want to play a game with graphics that appeal to them. If it were just that, it really wouldn't be a statement to be made, but a game that's basically everything you said SNK needs to be is flopping right now. It's called Tokon. It's ArcSys at their best and it can't muster up even half of SF6's playersYou'll always go "stop deflecting" but it's 100% an issue when no studio can put out anything people actually want for a multiplayer genre. It's all bleeding money and SNK thinks it's the only thing they can do thanks to their ineptitude. And if they won't reveal anything about SamSho, then it really is the only thing they can do. I don't see them doing any better for KOFXVI or whatever, but if they stick around for another 10 years after CotW then at this rate it doesn't even matter anymore because they've outlived their expiration date like 3 times now
>>584942682>But it doesdoes what? slices and dices and makes julian fries? i don't think i said anything that would lead to such a dangling phrase>You have to actually look outside your bubbleironic for an snk threadyou have spent this time trying to pretend everything is in the gutter so snk just can't wini'm telling you that even if the circumstances were well off enough for games in general, that snk would still fail no matter what because they can't get out of their own wayeven in an environment where games can supposedly succeed against the tide that you speak of, apparently, snk would still fail because modern snk sucks and they're not good and any rhetoric you have to try and pretend that it's not snk, it's the circumstances, is really reachingall this, HUH LOOK AT THAT, EVEN CAPCOM IS FAILING, TOKON DOUBLE FAILING, SO UH, SNK HAS AN OUT TO AVOID THE BLAME OF SUCKING AMIRITE GUISEnomodern snk sucks even worsedoesn't matter what genre they dothey need to fix their core issues before they can even be considered at the same level as anybody else, because no matter what company you wanna say is eating the supposed same issues of whatever fighting game lack of interest, snk is much worse#snkunsponsored
srsly the rhetoric is HUH SRSLY NO INTEREST IN FGS SO SNK WHOULD STOP MAKING THEM AND THEY'LL TOTALLY BE SAVED WHEN MAKING UHHH SEKIRO YAKUZA CLONE #90834856017689nofucking stupid to think like thatwhether it's fighting gamesor some walking simulators or clone of AAA genre or whatever the fucksnk needs to step their game the fuck up before they're even part of ANY conversation that isn't making fun of them for being retarded
>>584943330Acting like this is legitimately why nobody takes you seriously. You can joke and shitpost for years on end and nothing changes. I've come to the conclusion that this shit is a complete dead end and your "valid points" and "accurate predictions" just stem from a horrendous disappointment in like a sick anti-corporate worship that exists solely to feel a sense of superiority over punching down on a studio 99% of the world has either never heard of or doesn't give a fuck aboutSo I'm just going to stick with my points. It would be funny if Samurai Shodown somehow as some untainted view in Japan or whatever that makes people actually want to play the game while their other fighting games continues to flounder. It's uninteresting, complaining is uninteresting and SNK will definitely continue to choose to be irrelevant because they assume their brand has any value when it's already 30 years displaced from its golden yearsKeep gloating or whatever, you've got a long life ahead of you so you can laugh into your twilight years since I already don't see SNK actually "improving"
>Acting like this is legitimately why nobody takes you seriously. idgaf, they still reply and try to act like i'm the biggest internet villain since sliced moldy bread>You can joke and shitpost for years on end and nothing changes.hey how dare you, i've been recycling my shitposts since 1995oh whoops did i make a meta joke about snk recycling>anti-corporate worshiplol meanwhile my music gear from yamaha:>punching down on a studio 99% of the world has either never heard of or doesn't give a fuck aboutbut if they make a game in a different genre RIGHT NOW they'll be toes unpunchadownableactually you know whathave snk make that different genre of gamei'll be here to lol and shit on it much worse with the itoldyousos>It's uninteresting, complaining is uninterestinglol unless it's about capcom or arcsys amirite guise look at those hypocrites enjoying sowdeys unless it's snk's brand of sowdeys amirite guise hypocrites amirite
a good portion is likewaaAAAAahhh look at arcsys/evo/capcom/whatever getting away with things snk gets shat on for, waaaAAAaahjust being sour grapes whinefests about how snk gets flak, like snk would be totes successful if not for said flakyou say i complain a lot, this general does it more than enough without me even participating, waaaah OTHER company/game
>>584940762I know, retard. learn to read.
...they will just change the character select screen like they did for kofxv.Gao, Franz, Ryo, Kasumi, White, Xiangfei, and Panni are being added.
the game is a part of ewc through 2027 so it will definitely continue to get dlc throughout next year
Where are the recomps/decomps for some of these older KOFs?
The issue isn’t fighting games but developing 4 fucking fighting games that cannibalize each other, with one of them being literally a crossover series that includes all the other three. That’s fucking madness and unsustainable.And you won’t develop expertise making fighting games because you can’t justify the investment for a small player base unlike AAA games.Not only this, but the boat has sailed away and the field has entirely changed with AI. Players got fed up of soulslikes and remakes, they’re no longer attractive. Yakuza pirates sold like shit and they’re RGG is making new ips. E33 was the biggest surprise last year and it was a turn-based game, something nobody expected. Most other games are selling on brand alone like Resident Evil.SNK finds itself alone at square one again. They must adapt and fast. But personally I think there’s no coming back from this at all.
>>584953374Hey at least some nigga gets it. Honestly after GTA6, I don't think we're going to have a AAA industry anymore. Everything's too unsustainable for that right now. Games costing over $80 on average, even more for DLC. The time to change was now, not laterEither settle for less or just move on. It ain't gonna get better any time soon
>>584953706I think they can still make great AA games, even on the level of cotw but with a better presentation and artstyle, for example Persona 5 and cotw are the same graphics wise but P5 looks way better due to artstyle and direction alone. They should settle for this and forget about trying yo become Capcom or Square Enix.
>>584953374>>584953706two retards
>>584954752COTW has higher poly models for the characters at least, but it just looks uglier. I think that drives the point home even harder.
>>584954752>I think they can still make great AA gamesyou're not including snk in this conversation are you
>>584954752Fucking anything would be nice but that would require doing anything in general>>584954896Don't worry SNK would rather pander specifically to you and shit out awful KOFs with player rates that never hit 1k
Mikey and Draken's alts are based off Terry and Vox.Boss Challenge is also coming.
>>584957903God took them fucking long enough
>>584955060Cotw has a better gameplay than SF6 and T8, yes it’s a low bar but it still means that they managed best their competitors at something. Cotw failed at supplementary matters.
>>584957903Can someone gender bend mikey? He will look hot as a girl.
>>584958417and at anything else
They have to be taking the piss right? Look at this shit
>>584960959they have to be doing stupid on purpose at this point, yes
>>584960959Are they allowed to do that?
>>584960959Post both you coward.
>>584961507>>584961917You know that CR7's staff had to say ok to this.
>>584960959>when the woman puts up a fight
>>584962719Bet they probably were so fucking upset they still gotta fuck with the papers of confirming shit for this game cause the Saudi contract expired a year ago
A sokaku protege would be cool, this game needs more edge
>>584969240Mochizuki are working together with the Shiranui now, unless it was some off shoot like that CotW NPC it wouldn't really add anything. Especially since Hokutomaru is now completely irrelevant. If they really cared about establishing that it should've been earlier. The base roster was way too anemic in retrospect it's no wonder people didn't care
>>584958701Not bad, would fuck her
Well, Mikey does have a (half-) sister. (different moms). He even took the nickname "Mikey" so she wouldn't feel alienated with having a foreign name.
>>584969703That not-Leona would be fun to have in this gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXps19dNgv8
>thread dies the moment it’s 12 am in mexicoKek
>>584969240He appears in Rick's ending so knowing Oda he would just have him instead of say, a cute young female priestess that has his same functions
>>584976925Reimu would play more like she does in Soku (and AoCF). Sokaku is also closer to Donovan from Darkstalkers than Reimu.Well, a Sokaku function would better suit Yorihime, assuming ZUN even remember her. Though, Reimu being added to COTW would be kino.
Well SNK already has a little girl priestess character, but there isn't a rule that says they can't have more.
>>584978972>Sokaku is also closer to Donovanoh donovan with his cool sword plant->boomerang fun which is familiar to another characteror the footstomp move that is also similar to another future character from the same game
>>584976925I love the girlfailure, but her functions aren't like that at all. Sanae on other hand would be able to mimic Sokaku's moveset with snakes and frogs.That's all ignoring the fact that Sokaku is a buddhist monk, of course.>>584978972>Well, a Sokaku function would better suit Yorihime, assuming ZUN even remember her.I mean, I doubt that he forgot that a character that he used as a boss in the latest game got a sister.
>>584952679>Panni"No."
>>584982712They wouldn't use Korra, they'd use the jeet shitbender from the new show
>>584979327No one said anything about "little"
Hear me out: What if they bring back Alice, but she doesn't use the main trio's moves anymore. Instead, she uses a compilation of moves from FF characters who didn't make the cut (and she adds her own twist to them), she'd almost be like an SNK Seth. You can even do a lore reason like she suddenly believes Terry is a fraud (natural evolution of longtime fans) and tries to take him down with the moves of his enemies, or she just felt like playing bad guy (MAJESTIC EVIL HEROINE! DARK ALICE!! or something) since South Town is being influenced by several bad guys after Geese's death, I was thinking something like:>Kirai Hou (Cheng; REV ver. becomes Bakurai Hou)>Geki Hou (Tung Fu Rue; REV ver. becomes Dai Geki Hou)>Rolling Turtle (Bob Wilson)>Giant Bomb (Big Bear/Raiden)>Bloody Cutter (Laurence Blood)>Waving Blow + Double Waving Blow (Franco Bash)>Kimon Jin (Sokaku)>REV Blow: Kikou Hou (Eiji Kisaragi)>Air REV Blow: Alice Shooting Star (Original)
>>584992915I just want MILF Alice
I want MILF Mature
I want MILF Momoko
>>585005692Wish granted but she's no bigger or more mature-looking than in KOFXI, she just has a child now
>thread is dead because latinx are in schools now
>>584992915I would like that but I rather have "good Alice" instead of a "heel" one. At least that since I have no hope of them bringing back either Bob or Richard.
>>584985032I wonder why they didn't put her in the Avatar game to promote the new cartoon.
>>585014878Avatar game is just a small side project that got revived by a nepo studio that wanted to see it exist. It wasn't ever going to be a big project, it's basically the equivalent of a licensed PS2 spinoff gameIf the game even gets a S2 at all maybe she'll be in. Right now the S1 is more or less the devs running on the fumes of promising a fully fleshed out game like all S1s
>>585009802mine hopefully
>>585015642Just like 2XKO, anything the western FGC shills, dies.
Think this game can last 10 years?
>>585016053No, but the 3 year support is surprisingly being upheld. Might even go for 4, but I doubt much more than that
>>585016053If they add the remaining classic characters and more lan modes, definitely. It’s going to be the most complete FF. And will always be remembered as that weird game that had CR7.
>>585016053No. Next month someone’s going to reverse-engineer the game and put the source code on GitHub. Then, people will start improving the game getting rid of the PS2 graphics and adding all the characters from Garou 2, plus Tsugumi. After that, Oda will just give up and go back to pachinko machines.
>>585019162And somehow CR7 will be SFV Chun-li-tier in the amount of costumes available.
>>585022191You know that adding characters and improving graphics requires actual dev work? AI can’t and nobody is doing that for free. Fucking dumb latinx.
>>585016053not really, for the foreseeable future COTW is here to stay
>>585016053LMAO
>>585016053Yes, sure
I haven't seen anyone talk about this. This is kind of stupid right? Ragequitters will abuse the shit out of this
>>585036163>abuse>one match per hour
>>585029845Either you’re pretending to be retarded, or you’re a minor.
>>585015642>pic>filenameMeanwhile, indie fighting games devs:
>>585015642It'll honestly be funny if COTW outlives Tokon with content/updates.But yeah, hopefully others learn to not pull such bullshit DRMs.
>>585036163I'm more excited to finally be able to watch matches if they already started on lobbies.
>>585041943Sony gonna Sony, they're the ones currently pushing the industry to focus on the absolute worst trends and be confused why it's losing them money. Anyway, it should be fucking obvious Tokon isn't going to get huge support. They fell for the 4 characters a year scam Capcom's been doing, except this is a tag fighter that's 4v4 so it takes a WHOLE YEAR for the roster to get an extra team. This is the bare minimum for a fighting game, but sadly I think ArcSys will be making more money from Strive which likely isn't doing what they thought V2 was going to do with their initial plans. It's not looking good for fighting games for the latter half of this decade and SNK is going to fucking charge through, full steam ahead until the budget finally runs out for some reason
>>584992915Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?
>>585042654Alice?!
>>585042718Now that's an interesting guest for COTW.
>>585045856This and Alice 3
>>585042556Too bad since the lineup minus female Thor but it's not like COTW had been doing great with theirs lately is pretty good. I wanted to play Jubilee since MvC1 with her assist. But I guess, I'll eventually get it in a good sale.ArcSys recently opened a new studio in Tokyo for a brand new IP and they're hiring so they are in a good spot now and probably already got Sony/Marvel's money.But yeah, overall, it's not going so well for the genre and I can see SNK branching out with the supposed Action Samsho and new Metal Slug. I think KOF is a safe bet down the line but I really don't know what they want with an AOF4.
>>585050436>minus female ThorHello Oda
I don't remember this episode of Invader Zim.
>>585053457I miss the bird poster.
>>585045856If I was the Saudi owners, I would transfer ownership of the IP to SNK. She would be interesting in KoF and let’s face it EA won’t do anything at all with the IP. it’s a dream for me.
>>585054763Same
>>585042556This is the worst dlc roster I've seen
>>585055679I honestly agree with this. American McGee might as well like it. Unless they put her in Heroines 2.
>>585074651Nobody should care about his opinion. Games are a team work and most of them were a fluke or dependent on the era they were made in. So I no longer associate them with their “creators”.
I will fap so much to McGee Alice in Heroines
I'm still here! Happy Midnight hour, my birdbros out there! I just don't post as much because the rest of you guys are such sourpuss killjoys
>>585053457Holy
>>585076729Birdbro! Glad you're still here. Let's hope for someday Samsho will get crossplay.
>>585074651might sound crazy.
Switch2 CotW stream happening in 3 hours. This girl in particular is a huge Mai fangirl.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ1Br8Vc1JA
>>585051427Jane Foster is probably one of the most hated characters in the Marvel fandom and her inclusion is genuinely baffling outside of some higher up mandate or Arcsys japs just picking her because female and waifu potential, not realizing she was hated. Also Tokon actually has female characters so they have leeway to reject shitty ones.
>>585087305Bro, Tokon has DEI meddling written all over it.
>>585041943>It'll honestly be funny if COTW outlives Tokon with content/updates.KOF will be coming back.
>>585087305I genuinely don't give a fuck about vitriolic reaction by irrelevantly small number of people that actually read modern capeshit (that got an extremely small number of runs that are somewhat decent).As how I see it, everyone present is a multiversal counterpart and they made her cute. Personally, I'll take her over modern Carol or America Chavez or Spider-Gwen.
such a long sentence for someone who claims to not give a fuck

>>585084662Mai is so lucky...
>>585095343Her gimmick is that she likes oneesans
>>585095641SNK is missing out on great potential for costume collabs. Also, TR should have been a costume collab. Actually, all the guests, except for Chun-li and Ken. That way, we could have had Tsugumi. Fuck you, Oda.
>>585095641That's pretty cute. >>585084662I'll check it out later. Did she show how is hidden gear with the classic costume?
>>585084662>one of the top comments thinks this is a capcom gamelmao
>>585084662Most of the stream is just random rambling then she starts mashing buttons at the last 15 minutes. Not even the sponsorship could make people want to play this game.
>>585076729Good to see you're still with us, my beautiful bird brother!
after being exposed on yet another vtuber's stream, surely cotw will now have a flood of people pla-ACK!
>>585084662>>585105259I guess not. She didn't even try to do the supers.
>>585084662>huge Mai fangirl.This alone makes it obvious she's a fucking fake ass larper who was just paid to shill the game.

>>585084662>#prAhahahahahahahahaha
how can capcom and other prominent companies get their games blatantly shilled without >#capcomsponsored>#prDo creators ask more money to not include those tags or because they get free goodies like free game codes and event invitations they want to stay on their good side?
>>585139042you've answered your question. well that and capcom content brings in more views and attention in comparison to snk's.
>>585139042it's like a little kid asking mom why people are so mean or violent
I think capcom sends an email with a free game code saying>since you’re an awesome person this a gift from us keep goingAnd they have the choice to stream it or not while SNK contracts them to advertise the game so it must be tagged.
>>585150170here's the crossroads snk marks should really look at herethis description makes it look like capcom is planting a seed and seeing if it'll grow on its ownsnk is trying to buy people into caring and hoping to shove their product in peoples faces like they're trying to manufacture popularity that they don't even have and it will never manifest, and yet the snk marks are confused as to why it's not clicking as well as they thought it wouldthe answer to their own question is that a lack of common sense is not just an ocean on jupiter
>>585135368Holy cow
>>585151309Also the lack of an organic fanbase. If you made a new KoF you will see a lot of people talking about it because there’s real fans who’re interested and making content, but FF clearly doesn’t have that.
They should've just posted more Hotaru before the releasehttps://x.com/gyunyu_pack_man/status/2109932403011813882
>>585155384well yeah, that's one part of the reason why "it's not clicking"but in order to have an organically grown fanbase, you need a product that fosters it appropriatelyand looking at all the attempts to get cotw "out there", they took the advice of everybody but those who were telling them the actual problems cotw had, to which the wrong ways they took the advice of were>billboards/posters/etc plastered all over the place>ad spots at major events>using vtuberswhen you don't have a product that can foster or grow a fanbase organically, you cannot get that organic fanbase in the first place, and you cannot get people to care and they'll see right through it as a marketing ploy to try and push a subpar looking product, no amount of shoving things in peoples faces is going to help something that looks like cotw catch anybody's interest if it doesn't have anything people would be interested in, especially if in the consumers' eyes, they feel there are already products more worthwhile in a similar category that they can bother with insteadthat's not just about word of mouth, and not to say word of mouth doesn't spread, but the first impact comes from the first impression, otherwise it's a cart before the horse
If I was SNK CEO:>Only fighting series allowed is KOF and occasionally SAMSHO>Metal Slug Revival>Koudelka remake>Crystalis open world RPG>Turn-based Magician Lord game that plays like Fire Emblem or E33>yakuza-like set in south town >a visual novel new ip
>>585156036They should've actually made a game with interesting content before release. I have no idea how they can boast the game has a deep, enriching story and yet most people don't know what the hell is going on
oh and if people wanna go "well they're recruiting, so why don't you go work for snk and show them how it's done?" this is the question of a naive person who either only works in jobs where they don't have to deal with other employees or even shitty managers or has never had a job or by some miracle, they managed to find a job where all their fellow employees are just somehow synchronized to each other in perfect harmony and work ethic and talent and all they do is just distribute the proportionate work load between each other, which must be some work of the cosmosif snk's management is making stupid decisions *now*, what makes you think that an underling is somehow gonna transform them into people who listen to reason? eventually since you realize you can't just yell at people like i sometimes end up doing anyway when i get pissed, you'll get passive aggressive and say things like "*points to self* GEE I WONDER WHO COULD HAVE SAID THIS WAS A DUMB IDEA MAN ITS LIKE NOBODY RAISED THEIR HAND TO SAY ANYTHING" because they didn't listen to the professionally stated advice prior or the reasons given for why proposed solutions by the upper echelon just won't work, and eventually you'll throw your arms up and stop giving a shit and just make your bag and leave or even just quit depending on the circumstancessnk comes off as a place that has either stupid management or lack of any real grip on itself
falcoom
>>585156036Agreed. Hotaru is basically the poster girl for this game, her lore, her brother, and her ties to Rock are actually solid. Yet SNK refuses to promote anyone other than Mai. Hard to get people hyped for the story when SNK just spams a big titted whore who barely matters to the story.
>>585157457The game has "ok" content for the genre. The main problem was the price for it. If it was priced like U$30 + U$15 for season pass 1 it would more than welcome considering the competition. There was no need for them to release the game at U$60 for the whole bundle without the option to get the game without the season pass. Just making U$40 + U$20 would be better than what they did.>>585163368Yeah, for the whole "passing down the torch" and "new generation", they really did stick promoting Terry and Mai so much when Mai is not even in the cover. It was a nice closure of the Shiranui and the Mochizuki but it would've been better to have either him or a disciple to make that conflict relevant in the game.
>>585163904It's unfortunately an aspect of the anemic release that causes the game's base story to feel so unfocused and underdeveloped. The MotW cast "get conclusions" but they have to make due with the fact they can only work with the playable roster which makes it hard to develop the characters into anything more interesting when they held back so much for the DLC. Excluding the collabs because they're basically DLC, this is all they had to work with:>Rock+Terry+Kain's story>Gato+Hotaru making amends>Mai+Hokutomaru doing Shiranui things (without Andy)>Tizoc+Marco getting closure through Vox>Preecha and Dong being shipped because Jae and Joe were DLC>Kevin and Jenet basically getting fuck all in general>Billy being the game's plot twist endingAnd that's it. You couldn't really do much storytelling with a roster this small, which is a reoccurring issue with the other fighting games out right now. Tekken 8 is the sole exception and did tell its whole story as well as several expansions without needing the DLC as it should have, but Tekken 8 has other problems anyway. That's why SNK doubled down on DLC so that they can actually GET this shit out at a reasonable timeframe, to hopefully keep people invested. It doesn't really work, but the game at least will feel sort of complete by the end of development. Waiting that long is exhausting and unsatisfying though. It's unsurprising to see them continue to rely heavily on old reliable when they didn't want to make a game that would actually explore these new characters (another problem carried over from aping off SF6 so much)Gonna continue with some speculation based on the PL data
>>585157186you forgot>fire oda>bring back falcoom >>585163115
>>585163904>>585165173>PL000 - Rock >PL001 - Terry>PL002 - Dong>PL003 - Jae>PL004 - Gato>PL005 - Hotaru>PL006 - Marco Rodriguez>PL007 - B. Jenet>PL008 - Tizoc>PL009 - Kevin>PL010 - Freeman (NPC)>PL011 - Hokutomaru>PL012 - Grant (NPC)>PL013 - Kain>PL014 - Vox Reaper>PL015 - Preecha>PL016 - Gao>PL017 - Franz Krauser>PL018 - Nightmare Geese>PL019 - Fallen RockThese are the first 20 characters implemented in the game (starting 0) and they're the MotW generation and story-related characters. This was basically what they considered their priority inclusions for the game as a direct sequel to MotW. Gao is obvious, Franz was likely conceived long before the decision to add Krauser back was made and was probably being held back for the purpose of giving the game a "surprise" newcomer host for the tournament (why is there a tournament to begin with?) the final two slots are unplayable bosses, that's why it was quicker to use a new slot for Nightmare Geese after S2 was announced since it would require copy+pasting the existing data and editing that than needing to add a check to this ID to change his stats. This is lazy development, but given how crunched I imagine dev is, unsurprising decision. I'm not sure if the intent was always to have this be the base roster or if the decision to add the OGs came early (Billy was already in Rock's reveal poster) but this was as forward as they had planned for this game's story
>>585166134>PL020 - Andy>PL021 - Joe>PL022 - Mai>PL023 - Billy>PL024 - Mr. Big>PL025 - Blue Mary>PL026 - Rick>PL027 - Kasumi>PL028 - Alfred>PL029 - RyoThese are the next 10 characters implemented. Most of the FF mainstays off the bat that missed MotW and then Mr. Big (also a story character). The remaining characters listed seem to be "Main Characters" like Alfred, Rick and Ryo so they were probably considering these as integral additions to a brand new Fatal Fury game to make it feel more exciting for the fans. If the original 3 years of content was supposed to be 5 characters a year and an AOF character every season talking points are to be believed, we likely were supposed to get Ryo or Kasumi for S2 and then the other for S3. These two got pushed back for other additions. Kasumi herself was likely only added because of the sausage issue that would become a problem for this game anyway (whoops)
>>585166447>PL030 - Ken>PL031 - Chun-Li>PL032 - Ganacci>PL033 - Duck King (likely added to justify the former)>PL034 - Krauser>PL035 - Ronaldo>PL036 - KenshiroFinally this was the last batch of PLs added to the game by the OBT/launch. Clearly the last batch was when they considered CotW's roster "complete" and this is when they started to add their collabs in hopes to get the game to a wider audience. They prioritized a lot of these characters as a result and Krauser was probably when they decided to change their minds about the story they wrote (always a good idea) resulting in the game starting to get pushed in the direction that it has at this point. When you see the layout of when these characters were implemented, you get a better sense of the shift in design and priorities to make CotW into the game it is now instead of what it was concepted to be. But even those initial concepts aren't really any better, honestly
>>585166134Funny how they never considered Freeman. Grant I can see it since he seemingly dies at the end of MOTW and they just went to make it pretty clear he's dead and he killed the mother of Gato and Hotaru. It would still be a satisfying revenge match with Hotaru like her ending.
>>585167351Even weirder when you consider that we see Freeman in Kevin's ending. But he just gets apprehended after trying to kill Mary and that's the last of him.
How did cotw resolve FF conflicts?>Geese was secretly a good father>Gato forgives Grant>Mr. Big randomly blown up>Kain? Also secretly a good guy>Mai and Sokaku just became friends ending their shiranui and mochizuki clan rivalryWhat a disgusting game that should’ve never been made.
>>585169698City of the Wolves completely lost that dense, dangerous, gritty atmosphere that made South Town feel unique in MoTW. I don't get SNK's current obsession with sanitizing everything and making it so family friendly.
>>585171901Like always they're out of touch, they think by making it more safe it'll attract a wider audience. They probably would've took blood from Samsho19 if they could.
>>585169698CotW is pretty dumb, but you're somehow even dumber.>Wow, it turns out that things that were implied in MotW about Geese and Kain caring about their family are true, even though they are still bad pieces of shit>Huh, Gato forgives a dying man for the accident>Whew, Mr. Big gets an ending he deserves (until it gets "retconned")>Whoa, Mai and Sokaku prioritize getting shit done over fighting each other>>585171901>City of the Wolves completely lost that dense, dangerous, gritty atmosphere that made South Town feel unique in MoTW.I wouldn't call it quite that, but either way making it closer to actually good Fatal Fury games is easily a win in my book.
>>585171901It's them continuing to ape the worst ideas from Capcom and not actually innovate or cultivate them into something appealing or unique. SF6 turned Metro City into a paradise coffee shop where you befriend the roster and have casual fights with everyone. CotW wanted to be that too and was tied down to the grit and depression that is South Town's original conceptsIt's funny despite how much they try to whitewash Jin's war crimes, Tekken still has a lot of bite to its cast and everyone still hates each other. Tekken 9 if it ever happens is probably also going to lose all that
>>585172748>making it closer to actually good Fatal Fury games is easily a winlol what kind of sad cope is this
>>585171901They're just shamelessly trying to copy Capcom thinking it'll bolster them. Hint it's not working.They've also been just rehashing/aping KOFXIII's combo systems because they think that's what people want and trying to fine tune it across KOF and even Fatal Fury now and not realizing nobody fucking likes XIII's combat systems.
When's AOF3R
Had fun watching this stream yesterday. She was the one who had technical difficulties a few days ago. Too bad posting was down.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz6TeGoIu1M
>>585167875Yeah, they clearly have no plans for him. Not even a 3D model, I think even Cheng got one, right?>>585169698I think with Mr.Big, they're setting up AOF4 with the whole thing of the mother of Ryo and Yuri.And gladly, Kain got to be a real bad guy in Wolves' destiny. It was really weird how everyone were so friendly with Kain in EOST. But I guess most of them are gags anyway.
>>585182687>Korone ended up picking Mr KarateI'm a dekinai, did she end up on him on her own or did chat tell her to pick him because he's cheap?
>>585188375About that...>Fatal Fury Ohtsukaron\! Combos are way too hard, my brain's about to explode lol I picked Mr\. KARATE 'cause I wanted to play as a Fatal Fury character\.\.\. turns out he's not even from Fatal Fury\.\.\. seriously SORRY\.\.\. But everyone was just too damn appealing #生神もんざえもん
>>585173825What's sad is your lack of taste.I was geniunely bummed that we got a sequel to MotW over a proper Fatal Fury game.
I decided to play MOTW and judge for myself, and boy the things I discovered..First of all there wasn’t much of a story to begin with, which explains why they allowed themselves too much freedom rewriting everything in COTW.MOTW from the beginning was setting up for a sequel that never happened, it’s an incomplete game, so unfortunately we never got the full realization of its plot. But from what I gathered the game was setting up for something very different than what we got in COTW.>our main heroes are “wolves”>the main conflict revolves around the curse of bloodlines and the powers they have>Kain and Grant represent Cain and Able>Grant’s victory badge is a sun emblem>when you fight Freeman he starts the round wearing cultist clothes>According to the fan Q&A for the game, they jokingly state that Freeman getting food is one of the many mysteries of Second Southtown.>they also stated that his pale skin is actually dyed>in his ending he gets shot and falls into the river, most likely a reference to RasputinIf you were smart you would’ve realized it by now. They’re all common tropes for vampire stories. Based on my own conjecture, there was supposed to be plan to revive Dracula and for him to seize Southtown, Kain’s job was making sure the city is best set to defend itself which explains his philosophy of survival of the fittest, he wasn’t really evil. Geese’s will was probably a prophecy of the vampire plan.COTW basically deleted all that and instead made it about Jin’s blood to connect the game with FF proper, and it explains why Freeman was the only excluded MOTW character, because he has no role in this new story.
The first concrete proof that K' was gonna be in Capcom Fighting All Stars
>>585195117The vampire blood was supposed to be Garou’s equivalent to Orochi bloodline and possibly the devil gene in Tekken, setting up for a long running conflict and series, but Oda decided to throw all this in the bin and make it a temu street fighter where martial arts are just superpowers in everything but name.Honestly now I’m glad the game flopped. Not only did it betray MOTW’s essence but If this direction succeeded all their other franchises will suffer the same fate of being rebooted and castrated. And finally Oda must be fired he’s a retard.
>>585197317>and make it a temu street fighteryou're acting like street fighter didn't have psycho power
>>585195454Where is this from?>>585182687Only watched the beginning with Korone picking "Cristiano Ronaldo". But I would've liked if she waited a day to play the game with the Tokyo Revengers and Classic Mai. Or if SNK gave her a build to promote that.>>585190917I thought she picked him because of the funny mask.
>>585206165Well, it wasn't a sponsored stream, so she only had access to what the game currently has.
>>585195454Well it was either him or Kyo, but I always figured it was K', since he was the main kof protagonist at the time. Shame capcom never put the game out, it would've gave K' a big boost in popularity since the western fgc only cares about Capcom games.Then again, imagine all the CVS secondaries that would've latched on to him like they did with Rock, that wold have been annoying. Sick shinkiro art regardless
>>585036163i think it will be like sf6 if the game notices the connection dropping a lot it will give you the option to quit it
>>585188375She also ended up picking him after struggling to win with Ronaldo.
>>585084662>comments are all talking about sexual harassmenti don't follow vtubers at all whats going on?
>>585207080She's into sexy girls
>>585206165>But I would've liked if she waited a day to play the game with the Tokyo Revengers and Classic Mai. Or if SNK gave her a build to promote that.to be fair i don't want to watch someone who hardly knows what they're doing to be the ones showing off new characters>>585207439is that all or is it really something else,i want to say something happened and all the comments are from people being petty about something considering the amount
>>585207630I dunno if it's something else.I just know she has a shelf of Mai merch and figures.This isn't the first stream where she's perved on Mai.
>>585195454Is this a new Shinkiro artbook or something?
>>585206165>>585207774Is from the new Shinkiro art of Capcom book that Udon just released. A book with all the art he did for SNK is releasing soon
>>585207764apparently she made some comments toward her fans about sexual harassment and her fans dont like it cause she makes a bunch of sex jokes and are being petty about it
>>585208603Ah ok, so it's just some pointless drama.I don't really care.
>>585207907Oh nice. Not sure if they'll ship to my country but I'll take a look on it.
>>585197317He just made Rock's powers into a long lost Jin. >>585195117>he wasn’t really evil.He was still a mob boss trying to take over the city.
>>585195117>They’re all common tropes for vampire stories.vamp?!
>>585195117>They’re all common tropes for vampire stories.i don't know a single common person who looked at motw and thought dracula/vampires>fan q&a of the gameanother thing normal people didn't pay attention to except maybe 5 people
Would have been so cool to have werewolf Terry fighting fucking vampires and shit
>>585214551Maybe he would finally get with Mary that way.
>>585213620>i don't know a single common person who looked at motw and thought dracula/vampiresHow does that refute any point? They’re just stupid maybe>normal people didn’t pay attention Again doesn’t matter. The q&a was from the devs themselves.
>>585216960>doesn’t matterthings said of snk by most of those who even notice that snk exists
>>585214551We could have had a Castlevania crossover and picrel as our double guests instead of... Mikey.. and ... Ken 3...
>>585195117The butler boy in motw 2 is probably a servant to some aristocratic family which adds more to it.
>>585157186If I was SNK CEO:>remake Kof94 >add Iori but genderswap
the problem is you retards don't actually know the story behind the first three fatal fury games which is why you're confused
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnEXPktkMQADesk video. These dudes are so sauceless not even he can make them seem interesting.
>>585195454Cool!
orgy with captured aikawa sisters seriously when?
>>585195117>>585197317>So, uh, MOTW was supposed to be like Darkstalkers of Fatal FuryI see.By the way, that idea is horrible and as much as I don't really like MotW, I geniunely don't see SNK being as shit as your conjecture implies them to be.Anyway, the real reason why Freeman wasn't included is because he's a lame temu Iori. If he had any fans they'd find a reason to insert him regardless.
>>585230362Agree. This duo could be minimally interesting if it were a 2 in 1 character. but no. The person responsible for this (probably Oda) didn't even care. He just wanted this collab to happen and fuck it. It's decisions like this that make you realize the company is run by complete mongoloids. and worst of all, they make our local schizo look like fucking Hideo Kojima.
I remember when the datamine said we were getting two characters in one DLC slot, I was thinking "oh it's probably just the Jin twins. Lame." I wish we got the Jin twins now in retrospect.

>>585194762NTA but COTW's Southtown is neither similar to classic FF or MOTW's
Lol everyone is fucked
https://x.com/SNKPofficial_jp/status/2112710464471761170Today (yesterday)
>>58523764280% are bots anyway
>>585237202It isn't the 90s anymore to be 1 to 1 obviously, but it is a better reinvention than MotW.The coolest South Town was in AoF IMO.
>>585237709Where's the realistic version? But congrats to Akari.
>>585238882>it isn't the 90s anymore to be 1 on 1 obviously >>585238882Is there a rule that says that they must make it a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in current age? The loss of grit has nothing to do with that. It's just what SNK is doing to all their franchises right now.
>>585238083Don't you need a Capcom ID for Street Fighter 6
>>585241397To play online, yeah. I wonder if this is related to the PHP exploit that happened this week.
>>585234215Kinda funny how Terry is excited to beat some school kids.But at least they improved the Color Edit mode a bit.
>>585234215Oda really has a type.
>>585241269I care less about grit than I care about it being fun.MotW is more gritty than CotW, but it is also more drab, which is a crime for a game set in not-Miami.
>>585230362I think Mickey looks interesting to play with the Sakura's jump stuff. Draken is the one a bit lame from what I watched but I don't own them.
>>585249062>I care less about grit than I care about it being funWell COTW is neither so one really won here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJZwWDrMjbE>PreechaWho’s going to tell him?
>>585234107I remember thinking it wasn't going to 2 characters, just two versions of one character. Because I couldn't see them actually giving us two characters in one month.And now, here we are.
>>585234107>>585257605Judging from the looks of things, earlier on this was supposed to be two completely separate releases that they seem to have crunched into a single launch to squeeze Reina into this Season. So this really would've been a season of sausages if they didn't do that
They really couldn't have given the kids a second color palette?
>>585234215Interesting that what they're showcasing in the background of this is a 2v2 matchup system. Wasn't that rumored to be something they might be adding to CotW a while back?
Why did they choose both of then anyways? The Mickey kid would've been fine alone.
>>585257956I think the team responsible for Mikey pretty much just finished him ahead of schedule, and just used the extra time to add Draken as a bonus.
Someone make a webm of Mai walking in her classic outfit to get a good look at that crotch
>>585241292AOF3R news when?>>585225235I can't believe we missed Whip's birthday.https://x.com/okyochan/status/2109584875510493662/
glad she gets it
>>585264175Funny how Classic Mai also does the same.
>>585232993You’re the mentally ill retard who keeps bringing iori everytime freeman is mentioned so anything you say doesn’t matter.And anyway If you played motw you would know Freeman is nothing like iori, he’s literally just Hisoka doing JoJo poses.
It's always weird when you fags go "this SNK character is just [X character] from [thing]!". You know there's a thing called tropes right? Just because two characters share one doesn't necessarily mean that it's a rip-off of the other.
I'm surprised Andy was never considered for crossovers; doesn't Mai yell his name every time she loses?
>>585273239Because there are more popular characters SNK has.>>doesn't Mai yell his name every time she loses?Why should he be considered just because of that anon?
>>585273239Andy got shat on by the late-90s after being cut from MotW and later KOF 2003, so by that point he was getting heavily downplayed for bigger faces like Kyo and Iori. Joe mainly stuck around for CVS cause of being the Muay Thai character. If SNK took better care of their supposed main characters, we wouldn't be stuck in the Terry-Mai-Geese era of Fatal Fury representation
>>585275684It was kinda weird how he got cut in 2003 when his 2002 version is one of his coolest yet. I think he only got back to being "cool" again in COTW.
>>585273239Andy is boringalso gay
>>585271394That what gets you? A shallow comparison to another kind of crazy red head with similar-ish fashion that is being made because he doesn't deserve any better analysis?And yes, I played MotW for quite a bit years ago unlike the schizo that wrote "I decided to play MOTW and judge for myself, and boy the things I discovered.." confirming that he's a larper that barely knows anything about SNK.
SamSho movie confirmed (along with Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting movies)https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/samurai-spirits-video-game-movie-1236738377/FGC boycotters looking really fucking stupid right now
>>585283084This WILL fail, the SF movie bombed at the box office despite marketing.It's deserved, the movie made Ryu look like a faggot amongst other problems
>>585283084On one hand, is hard to fuck up a SamSho movie. On the other, being made in Hollywood means the usual corners of the internet will bitch endlessly about whitewashing if even one character is played by white actors.
>>585283830It's really fucking easy to, make the characters not act as closely to how they're portrayed in the games, the SF movie failed at this simple task too.
>>585283084Why not an anime series? Who the fuck asked for this?
>>585283084>written by an american womanwelp ggs.
>>585283084They will bomb like the SF movie. Difference is that SNK fanboys will defend them either way because they're used to mediocrity.
>>585285219>She’s worked on Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, was credited as an executive producer on Avatar for her work on the script development, and co-wrote Terminator Genisys and Alita: Battle Angel. She is repped by WME.Alita was cool, at least.
>>585276058That's the Eolith era. That was the Koreans trying to make Andy cool after SNK gave up years ago. Meanwhile the first SNK Playmore KOF just outright cut the nigga>>585287961Genisys is gigacringe but at least it's not Dark Fate
>>585289589The only korean KOF was 2001 (that gave us that Andy, yeah). By 2002, Playmore already had most of the assets "back". It was rushed as hell as we can see not only for balance, but the amount of bugs.
>>585290007Eolith would've also pumped out 2002 too because the buy back happened the same year and you'd have to have started development immediately after the previous game to keep it yearly. Playmore rebranded to SNK in 2003
>>585283084Money laundering.
>>585285219I looked her career, and surprisingly she’s successful and not a small name. Saudis are clearly pumping big money into this. But it will fail.
>>585283084>3 fighting games movies>no Athena, Ikari Warrior, Magician Lord
>retard wants Hollywood to touch Athena
Can we have Athena, Ikari Warrior or Magician Lord games??
>BioWare closed down It’s obvious that EA will only focus on Sports and multiplayer games from now on. Sell their single player ips to snk or they’re gonna rot.
>>585296818Not like SNK does anything with its back catalogue either. People have been begging for Activision studios to work on Rare IPs since the buyout and fuck all has come out of it. These studio mergers only exist to kill the past
>>585297035And those companies also refuse to sell the ips. EA had enough money to fund Anthem and Andromeda but when American McGee begged them to make a new Alice game they refused. So just like that no new games and not allowing anyone to make them.
EA needs to bankrupt
Fuck off they’re part of the Saudi family now
>>585263539Lucky K'
>>585283084Here's the writer by the way.
I want to touch Athena.
>>585298606They've just put Dead Space in Battlefield. They don't give a single fuck.
>>585304571Nobody gives a fuck anymore. Everything is just Fortnite.
>>585285670I don't think anyone defends the KOF movie.
>>585308105His hypothetical nonsense regards to "new thing" and not "old thing" except when using "old thing" to compare with "new thing" to prove a point. Like the new SF movie is objectively better than that live action KOF movie, but it's still horrendously out of league with most MK movies AND the original 94 SF movie. It's just more embarrassing when an 82 million dollar budget movie only makes 50 million on release. It didn't even reach the anticipated 70 million
>>585295571An Ikari warrior similar to Tekken force as a full blown AAA stand alone game made vs studio themselves, But Oda vision it’s too narrow to see anything pass his beloved fatal fury.

SNK Afterparty | EVO France 2026https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GNHyetwn0k
>>585283830>On one hand, is hard to fuck up a SamSho movie
>>585084662>>585094728>>585095641It was a cute partnership. Too bad SNK can't into costumes or extra stuff to put her in the game somehow. Inb4 as an actual guest.
>>585321101She’s a feminist whore who insulted men and there was a big controversy in Japan. Hopefully she loses her job
>>585321101>La+, Shuba, and Korone altsEven though others played it at launch, they all recently played the game. Make it happen, SNK
>>585323309She was getting sent dick pics and disgusting dms, and the way she reacted was a bit insulting so she apologized. I know Japanese people don't always accept apologizes, I'm sure more than a few people burned their merch lol
>>585324442She’s a fucking whore that does sexual asmr of course she will get sent dick picks, that’s the audience she cultivated. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
>>585326342Retarded take
>>585324442>sexual harassment: blame the victim>PIRATING MUH COMPANY'S GAMES?!?!?! *starts a full on militia*-japan, all the time
>>585326926Based Japan
so based that cotw only sold 6k in two weeks over there because they knew it was not worth it
i know i wouldn't want to sexually harass the right jenet because damn look at that jawcould be brock lesnar's daughter
>>585326961Great design, too bad he was in the worst kof
Kain has 10/10 design but this sadly doesn’t translate to his personality and story. He has the potential to be like Aizen, a charismatic and ruthless machiavellian with a god complex. Just imagine that scene of him stabbing Marie which triggers Fallen Rock
>>585332237The last hope of this game having some sauce is Franz, and already from seeing his design, things aren’t looking good.
>>585332237Isn't everyone a nice guy in COTW? I didn't read all the stories
>>585327417>when a gay man is promoted to chief director.jpg
>>585334642Yes. They just shat at everything MotW built. I just don’t get it, MotW has a worse cast but was popular for the story and atmosphere why kill that and also continue with a bad cast? Should’ve been a proper FF with all the classic characters and no one would’ve complained.
What’s the chances of Gao being like Yujiro would be cool

>>585339167I have never actually seen Tokido play this game
>>585343395He played on stream during EVO France to get the participation goodies. He doesn't know how to play the game, he got eliminated very early in pools.
>>585343763>He played on streamkek
>>585335018>MotW has a worse cast but was popular>was popularIt was less popular than SFIII, which was a huge flop.
>>585332237It doesn't translate visually, either, because in COTW, they>made his suit skinny-fit>hair barely moves>flame effects are wildly toned downI don't even like the character, but in MotW, you see his looser clothes and hair sway and ripple. His win pose has him covered in flames as he levitates and his clothes move. In MotW, same pose, he's almost static and the flames are not just tiny, they have no light source. He doesn't look terrible, just not as good.
>>585283830>is hard to fuck up a SamSho movie.
>>585343395>>585350281https://youtu.be/xzRf26xYyGM?t=2394I found it
>>584929368This game could've been so based. Season 1-2 were amazing, except for some of the retarded patches.
>>584916440Vox does look cool. He just acts like a fag and his shortrange moves are underwhelming in a rushdown game. Same people calling him uncool, thought Kukri looked cool, so their judgement can't be trusted.
>>584867857I don't have a huge issue with the default design, but this much, much better.
>>585312585Looks pretty fun. That was in Nice, right? Since like a week after that things starting blowing up in Paris.But it's nice going to an afterparty for drinks after a local event.
>>585332237I think the opposite might happen. Kain losing completely when he sees Marie dying at the end of Wolves' Destiny.But yeah, nice to see him being a scum in WD but he could be better.
>>585334642They retconned that with Wolves' Destiny. EOST is where everyone is friendly with each other but they made it like they are what ifs.I think the "real" story is just arcade and Wolves' Destiny. And I actually liked what they did like >>585172748
>>585357810I wouldn't say I liked it, but it wasn't a disaster some people try to paint it as.Personally, I think the base story was boring, but it was functional enough to set a foundation to build upon, which is important for a game like CotW that is supposed to both be a sequel to MotW and return of the normal Fatal Fury at the same time, with both of those things being two decades old corpses.Wolves' Destiny (and some of the DLC EoST "filler") already realised some of the potential that arcade story laid the groundwork for, so I'm cautiously optimistic for the future.
>>585342124I wish more characters had intros. Like Hotaru and Gato for example.>>585335706Never read Baki but it seems like he would be a "ruthless Gato"?
>>585323361Considering the way SNK makes costumes, it's more likely to have them as actual guests than costumes.
How do I get good at Fatal Fury COTW fast?Like 3 weeks? There's a tournament coming up near where I live soon and I want to attend.I was Super Diamond in Street Fighter 5 if that matters. (Diamond in SF6)Also Gold Master in GBVSR (master with pink square in GBVS Vanilla)
>>585368279>How do I get good at Fatal Fury COTWYou play the game.
because snk is japanese based, they're about as good as the indian engineers for certificates when it comes to programming thingsjust ask nicovideo and its network security in 2024
>>585332237i don't think Kain was ever that bad even in MotW.whatever you can learn of him just makes him seem like a sneaky, but well intentioned person with high ideals, and they just build off of that in the sequel.
>>585283830>is hard to fuck up a SamSho movieThey are gonna shit the bed with their historial of making adaptions without playing half of the games related.
Speaking of SamSho, this is just wishful thinking as it goes with SNK, but it would be nice to have a second SamSho collection, with the two Hyper Neo Geo 64 games, the PS1 game, and that XBOX 360 game. I can't speak much about the gameplay, but the music and the art were one of the best of the series.
>>585368279Play Mr. Karate instead of Mary for starters. >I was Super Diamond in Street Fighter 5 if that matters. (Diamond in SF6)I think you can reach Gold to Platinum, I guess. I got to Master in Granblue Rising and SF6 quite easily. Took a while but I didn't really try after that.
>>585375609Is the difference between top tiers and other characters that high? Or is Blue Mary uniquely bad? I remember getting destroyed in silver ranks by Mr. Karate players, but I assumed that was mostly my lack of skill and knowledge rather than the character.I like Robert in KOF, so I'm surprised that I never gave Mr. Karate a shot.
>>585377047Not that extreme but Robert is the top tier and Mary is among the lower end of the tierlist and you want quick results (3 weeks). So, mostly got pick him and check the stuff from there.
>>585372107He was manipulative and driven purely by his ideals, in an obsessive way. COTW's story certainty did not present him as such prior to Wolves Destiny.
>>585377707When you put it that way, it makes sense. I'll just go for it and try him seriously. Thank you.

>>585410321>RebroadcastWish we could have an event with the new build with paid pro players. Hell, if they paid Tokido and Justin to appear in the ad, have them play some online matches.
>>585406137they shouldn't have bothered with Drakken and just put a bit more polish on MikeyI know nothing about the source material but he just seems like a delinquent kid with a design catered to fujoshi, so basically he's not out of place in a SNK game at all
>>584916440Ok so you know how Nagoriyuki in GG strive has his mask on 90% of the time? That. You also know how he isn't introduced as a vampire directly sired by slayer right off the bat, doesn't gargle chaos' nuts and has some hints of humor to him? That too.
>>585414112These players are better than tokido and justi
This game sure has some stylish arts
>>585419797>>585419583Reg A is a really cool game honestly. Too bad people discard it just because the previous games play like ass
>>585420194The regular version of 2 was great, I actually got some normies into Kof through "Kof 2006" because of how fun it is. Also Mr Karate 2 and Wild Wolf were godlike
>>585419583>>585420194Yeah Armor Ralf did more harm to 3D KOF than any other character ever. Too bad RegA had such a limited release and didn't have all the extras from the regular MI2.
>>585421229>Armor RalfFunniest thing about MIRA is how his removal was treated as a selling point
>>585404158hot, we need more lolicon adult females
>>585419583Genuinely baffling they didn’t continue with this to enhance their expertise in 3D and instead went to bankrupt themselves on 2D. Kawasaki was clearly a retard who had no leadership
>>585419583I think Lien suits cotw more than kof.
>>585430141Well, the Maximum Impacts were basically Fatal Fury with KOF characters.
>>585430976How
Does SNK still have the rights to use the MI characters or are they in Fatcoon's posession and they can't use them without his permission? Will I ever see Ninon in a game ever again?
>>585433852SNK owns the characters
>>584638351wtf, why no one told me that Mr. Koro played /our/ game? Hilarious shit as always
After playing Wolves Destiny, I can say that I actually like it, and we have a real story now. Also it’s funny how it retcons nearly everything in the arcade. So many issues of this game could’ve been solved if they delayed it and thought things over.Gao a newcomer has become easily my favorite character, something I thought nu-snk will never be able to after Preecha and Vox. I just hope he gets a bigger role than being simply Krauser’s second in command. He has the potential to be a villain on his own.Also I think the comic book style is giving it a bit disservice. So many of those scenes would’ve looked better animated, especially nighttime south town.
>>585440017It's pretty fucking obvious the game was rushed but Wolves' Destiny and the rest of the DLC really emphasize it the most. The game would've been MUCH better if they delayed it another year since they would've been able to incorporate a proper story mode with a lot more major players like Andy, Joe, Mr. Big and Gao instead of the anemic release we got
>>585440213But to be honest, the flop is the only thing that made them wake up, otherwise they were nonchalant and naive as fuck about everything. They never realized people actually wanted to see evil characters until fans complained. Hilarious if you ask me.
>>585440863Should've been awake to begin with. CotW was supposed to be a conclusive end to the Motw story. It barely did that, had a few good ideas here and there but didn't really present what it was supposed to be well enough for people to jump in. Wolves' Destiny is basically a soft reboot that should be easier to follow, since it's actually TELLING a story to begin with, but it's a case of too little, too late. It'll be for people who enjoy the game and that's it
>>585419797We really made fun of KOF14 for looking like a PS2 game -- even after SNK updated the graphics -- while this PS2 game actually looked better than it.
>>585440017the talks about the first emperor emerging from the vessel, reminded me of the last scene in Sekirohttps://youtu.be/iazankvpeSUBut we know that SNK will never be as cool.
>>585440017Gao not being part of Season 2 or even 3 is criminal. They could've hold Kim for Season 4.

>>585454994Where is it recorded?, all the regional leagues are in the same stage.
>>585441229I still think it's "better late than never". SF6 didn't even try and actually fucked up the only story they had with Ingrid retconning the end of World Tour.
Capcom doesn’t care about story and their games cater to the lowest denominator possible of normalfags, just see what they did in RE9. They even had a controversy from their own audience because they made Onimusha TOO EASY. They’re just like SNK (who copied Capcom) but get away with it because of nice graphics and likable characters. You can serve them any shit as long as Leon is in it for example.
>>585474134Athena in AOF3R
Cotw lobbies are better than kof14 lobbies btw
Kof14 is more fun btw
>>585485172What makes you say that?
>>585486089playing the games.
>>585485172Did they fix the "I have no idea when it's going to be my turn in the queue"? COTW were better when they were the Excel spreadsheet meme.How having less stations to play make it any better?
a quick google search, or just booting up the game will tell you they been fixed those issues.
>>585486048Truth
Looking forward to Xiangfei, Ryo, Franz, Alfred, Kasumi, Gao, White, and Panni next year. The great work continues. ;)
>>585496251I wonder if they'll give you early access this time. Maybe if you beg enough ;)
>>585473019>their games cater to the lowest denominator possible of normalfagsNormalfags aren't playing Street Fighter 6. It's the same small group of scrubs and intermediates playing fgs, going from Tekken to SF and back and forth. SFV was the suckier of the two, so Tekken 7 got a load more players than usual. Now Tekken 8 sucks more, so SF6 has more than usual. Neither Tekken 7 nor SF6 reached normalfag numbers, like 100,000 players or 17 million sales. Ask any real casual what they're playing, and it ain't Street Fighter or any fighting game, except for MK, and even that flopped compared to the past.
>>585496251I love to see Reina here but sadly it means Panni is basically discarded.
>>585508368??? two very different characters, with different body types and different appeals. they are not competing for the same audience.
If COTW gets another season pass it will have officially received more characters than KOFXV did despite being less popular and not being a team gameHow does that make you feel?
>>585508368People are guessing that Panni is a character because there was a leak that someone who uses water is in the next season.
>>585511879DLC-wise yeah, besides most of KOFXV and even CotW's DLC have been asset flips. KOFXV still has the bigger roster and it only has that because it started with more characters than CotW did on launch. The real funny thing is that its already catching up to Tekken 8
>>585511879disappointed because it just further affirms that KOFXV got shafted hard for Oda's pet project.
>>585508368It's possible Laocorn could be like Original Zero (boss character with 3 assists)
>>585511879Good.It means that SNK is now in a state where it can do support like that and it sets future expectation.
>>585440017I don't have faith that SNK will pull him off, the dlc characters have been very hit-or-miss in how polished and fleshed out their movelists have been. Rick was a huge disappointment in the end, I was waiting years to see him reappear man.
>>585496251Don't forget about at least 3 more crossover guestslops!
>>585524701lol you think nu-snk would put in that much effort
>nu-snkAlways hearing this to dismiss the modern company, but looking at the game’s credits, lots are actually veterans. Even SamSho 2019 director was a dev on SamSho 64 and Real Bout. There’s devs that worked on KoF 97 and fucking Savage Reign...SNK retains more veterans than the likes of Sega and Bandai Namco despite multiple bankruptcies.So the company you dislike now is actually the same old one.
>>585508279How can you be this low iq? The people who played Marvel Rivals for example don’t have to necessarily play Elden Ring or FIFA, that doesn’t mean those two games don’t have a casual audience.SF6 has a casual audience for a fighting game series, it’s not a complicated concept. You’re really trying too hard to push fighting games are worthless while browsing a fighting games general, do something better with your time.>Neither Tekken 7 nor SF6 reached normalfag numbers, like 100,000You’re using steam as your metric while most people play on PS5, if you believe SF6 didn’t reach 100k, then you’re a clueless retard.
>>585535064So retard? It doesn't change the fact that the company is composed of mostly college graduates with no experience rather than veterans. We all saw that COTW staff credits too.Even if that weren't the case, they're still not putting as much effort in the current games as they used to.
>>585529725Mr. Karate and Krauser were 10/10 for me.>Rick was a huge disappointment in the endI agree but lets face it, characters like Rick were only added to answer demands for classic characters, they were never excited about them and it shows.
>>585535770Nobody denied that retard, but the new devs are led by the veterans like Oda. Chinese devs are making AAA games with literally no history in game development. They’re not the issue, and funding is no longer an excuse either.
>>585535557I love spouting hypotheticals to prove points because I'm sensitive about a genre that clearly has no legitimately mainstream appeal in the slightest. The more fighting games come out, the more they're rejected by society at large. We hit a point where more people are playing the Soulja Boy AI game than Invincible Vs. because of a lark. Fighting games as a strategic, legacy skill genre just do not appeal to people, especially younger people. Any kid who attend SF6 tournaments get lucky with Drive Rush guesses and then are forgotten about while tournaments continue to be the same handful of names with no new talent. Even if you use the 3/4s method of determining install base for SF6, the number would've only been around 120k... And the game sold 6 million copies
Then why are you here retard? Go play single player games lmfao
How are you guys playing Fatal Fury with those guest charactersDo you just not care
>>585541621Most of them don't care about Fatal Fury in the first place that's how
>>585541746Oh that's kinda cool thenKoF mogs anyway
...most of the cast is from fatal fury, why would guest character dissuade me
Guests are just like the other characters I don’t pay attention to. I find a bear and kangaroo to be extremely out of place in Tekken and cringe, but it doesn’t dissuade from playing.
There's a bit of a difference between an intentionally silly kangaroo and Cristiano Ronaldo as a serious character in a supposedly serious game you know
>>585539950-1 player for SNK stocks, who can't seem to make games people actually want to play
>>585421229>>585421419Also, didn't Ash end up becoming the most broken character in that game?
whoa, people here trying to resolve snk's lack of success by saying "OTHER company also fails and fighting game always fails"must be a day that ends in day
Tekken had Negan and nobody complained you know.
yep a day that ends in day
>>585545686Xiaolon ended up being the best character but Ash was also pretty busted too. They gave him a bunch of moves that he doesn't get in other games, like an overhead normal, Makoto's axe kick from 3S for some reason, Dhalsim drill kick, a counter that either opens them up for a free hit or drains the opponent's meter, the latter of which is actually useful since Sans Cullotes was a normal super you could use for 1 bar which means any confirm lead into some long retarded custom combo.https://youtu.be/DtbfJf3k4Y8?t=890
>>585536656COTW was started before the Saudi takeover and a lot of the additional resources were barely coming online during the period it was in development, so I'm hopeful for their next game (whatever it is)
https://x.com/zoezoeta/status/2113831557966504373For Campcom Fighting Stars, they even composed a theme for K'
>>585563983>COTW was started before the Saudi takeover Yeah and Oda’s tweets were proof, they should’ve made the scope bigger and did it from scratch again, but he decided to continue in favor of releasing it faster and putting the extra budget in marketing. Laziness + naivety + incompetence.

>>585645370You know it's another fighting game collab.
>>585666015>rori??? i don sink so!! bara shota man instead *ror*
let's have oda personally show up at wwe crown jewel to promote cotw
I finally ranked up to bronze in Fatal Fury COTW. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm playing with a vice on my head when I play this game. I can play a game like Guilty Gear XX or Virtua Fighter 5 and understand enough to get to higher ranks, but SNK games always make me feel really stupid for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I love KoF and Samurai Shodown, but there's something unique about the pacing of cotw that makes me not understand it at all even while watching high level footage from the top players.Any idea what's going on there?
>>585672525Movement? KOF and Samsho are completely different games. I'm not following you but COTW is way harder to rank up than SF6 or other modern games.
>>585653290He still “reacts” to their content and whether he’s honest about doing it because he wants to support snk or just get clicks is for you to judge.But overall I agree that it was retarded to join the boycott since they were a small minority in resetera, he wouldn’t have lost that much, but I guess snk isn’t even worth sacrificing a little for.
>>585667058They should put throw him into the ring and slam a table over his head but actually do it
https://youtu.be/YQOIS-C4jM0?si=n31LdjQPZclkg2PXThe promotion for this game is strange
Reina...
>>585685741Finally a good post
>>585679819people like max care more about optics than anything else and would more than likely do the same with anything else they like though would probably very reluctant to do so
>>585687246tbf the FGC optics don't look very good in general>Try to boycott SNK>Then try supporting... Riot and Sony gamesThey do it to themselves. No media awareness. SNK have failed so many times before, but they're a DSP-tier cockroach. Usually after your first bankruptcy, that's kind of it
>>585687739i think the strange thing about boycotting snk is the fact that people go out of their way to shut down any kind of conversation about saudi ownership, i remember earlier in the year when some other group got a small chunk of capcom everyone was just trying to ignore it
>>585685741Lucky... Rock?
>>585688032They justify it with the majority ownership despite the fact Capcom is also trying to please their shareholders. It's always giving an inch, sooner than later Saudi will force themselves into their daily lives (like how they bought out EA)The industry is so fucking rotten that I couldn't begin to give a fuck. It's nice that there's just a company out there that just sucks on their own accord instead of testing my patience daily with some of the legitimately most heinous decisions I've ever seen, like ANYTHING Sony ever seems to do anymore

>>585696823>This 2026 from was cringe and had too many weird parts like Guile getting close on Dan when in the actual story they dont have that communication, then you have Bison and Andre sniff and licking female fighters feet for NO REASON.k'ek. can't wait for snk movies.
>>585685741Rock is so lucky...
>>585683936Well, it's nice knowing the actor. He did a good job in the ad/trailer.
Let’s do some basic math. If Street Fighter (2026) movie, a major well-known IP that sells millions, is set to lose 50M. So, movies based on SNK’s IPs (which are far less well-known) will likely suffer double that loss. 3 movies = 300M loss, in a worst-case scenario. or 100~150M loss, in a more optimistic scenario.It's over.
Justin Wong said the western FGC royally fucked up from boycotting SNK, but they can't admit to it, or they'll look bad or look like sellouts to their audience.
>>585700918source, I doubt they care with how openly they shill

>>585700918>royally fucked up from boycotting SNKHow so?
>>585700620Brand power only matters for things with strong brand identity (Mario and Sonic for example) and SF hasn't had that strong of an identity since 1995. That's why this movie was attempting to be a SFII movie, since that's the only thing a casual would really know about. But really to the casual, the brand was meaningless and this movie needed to succeed based on how actually good it was. It wasn't, so it bombed tremendouslyThe FGC really overplays how much people actually care about SF, let alone fighting games. SF can't even do 10k players in Western hours, even after a new DLC character. The movie was supposed to be an ad for the game, but it was such a bad ad that I think it might've done the opposite and repulsed people who would've been interested
>>585700918How much longer until people realize that 2/3 of the "FGC" are SF/Capcom fanboys?
>>585700918This boycott situation is really funny to me because there are players like the Guilty Gear Strive player Hotashi who keep talking about how they're poor and have no money and how they have to get real job now and how there's no money in the fgc, but he could just pick up Samurai Showdown and play Baiken to get more money than he ever did playing Guilty Gear.
>>585702618>because there are players like the Guilty Gear Strive player Hotashi who keep talking about how they're poor and have no money and how they have to get real job now and how there's no money in the fgc
>>585700918>Justin Wong said the western FGC royally fucked up from boycotting SNKboycotting snk did nothing in any direction because they matter so little in the grand scheme of things that it's like stepping on the tail of a lizardsnk's supposed biggest fans are pirates and criminals
>>585702618Maybe it's because he wants to play Guilty Gear and not Samslop. No matter how much money SNK pumps into their tournaments and marketing, if the game isn't appealing it just won't sell. In fact, they can't even get fans of their own franchises to play their other games, just look at CoTW struggling every week to stay above double digits on Steam. All this boycott stuff is just pathetic cope that SNK fanboys love to hide behind because they can't admit the company's failures.

>>585700918>Justin Wong saidproof?
>>585703936SNK is so fucking goddamn lucky to have Justin on their side. You only know he's able to say this shit because he's legacy talent too, nobody else would dare want to because it might hurt their reputation
you just know...
>>585703450>maybe he wants to play the worse gameSo it's a hobby and he in fact should be the one spending money to enjoy it, not the other way around.
>>585703450>Maybe it's because he wants to have fun and not to workHe shouldn't expect everything to be on a silver plate for him.
>>585704456Because Justin actually likes to play fighting games, unlike fake asses like Max who has like max 8 hours in KOF XV total 2022-2026+. This is the same chinder changer who has been moaning and begging for Rock to be added for months, btw. The same ninja dagger who really wanted a SF collab with SNK.Max and Sajam are cut from the same cloth.
>>585701714It’s mii okstly the western fgc, Ameritards only see snk games as cheap input reading cpu and hard bosses, they’ve never care or have try to actually play these games for real, they will come up with most pathetic excuses while playing mugen likes Capcom games like mvc 2, cvs 2, alpha 3 or literally every marvel game ever made, many of these games aren’t even that popular outside America and a lot of them are completely mogged by kof in many places of Asia and Latin America even Middle East and I’m not making excuse fo snk but part of the reason why they are failing it’s due to them presenting themselves an inferior Capcom 2.0 trying to appeal to people like max who’s whole interest in snk doesn’t go further than Rock Howard and a possible cvs3 which by the love of god I wish that shit never sees the light of day.
>>585713058It won't in the way these retards want it to. It'll launch as a sub-30 roster game with a Season 1 of 4 characters and if it doesn't become an instantaneous hit (ergo sell more than 5k copies) then it'll never get a S2 like MvCI didn't. The era of MVC2 rosters doesn't exist anymore because nobody wants to reuse clashing assets to shit out an unbalanced kusoge where nothing matters other than pure content. Fighting games just aren't designed like that anymore
https://x.com/SNKPofficial/status/1154190083441876992What did they mean by this

>>585721608They'll have all the Defense/Attack characters for the new Metal Slug lore. Trust the plan.
>>585710424like someone said earlier people like them only care about optics they would gladly cast of whatever they liked as long as it keeps them in the good graces of places like resetera
>>585721608Those tan lines tell a story.
I'm almost retarded, should I start playing Krauser?
>>585647601Yep, that is what the game suggest but I just get a regular super the 99% of the times.0.9% an error or a mere jump 0.1% the move I want.I don't know what to do.
>>585736118I'm at work now, but I'll try to record an example in a few hours for you.What input device do you use?
>>585703936>>585704456Nah I can read between the lines, JWong just wants classic-styled fighting games like SFIV-MVC3 and prior to come back. COTW gives him a very brief glimpse of that era. Granted it helps that JWong likes a lot of different fighting games compared to most other Fighting Game players.
>>585738276Yes and? That doesn't contradict the fact he likes CotW. His last video that wasn't the Tokyo Revengers showcase was 2 weeks ago. Nobody would be playing this game during a dead time if they didn't like it
>>585739562He likes the game because he doesn't like the other stuff out right now, he's upfront about not liking 2XKO, but I don't think he's as upfront about SF6 and or Tekken 8.
>>585740128almost nobody is going to be upfront about not liking street fighter because it will always be the safest bet even back during 5 a lot of the big names were just mildly negative at best
>>585740128Probably because this motherfucker doesn't play Tekken. As for SF6, that's everyone's bread and butter job so he has to just accept that game for what it is like everyone else. I don't know what you're getting at though
>>585513678Could be the Demon Slayers dude, it's getting it's finale movies at the moment right?
>>585741027Yeah, with SF6 he just plays it. At least he's not like iDom hating teh game but still playing it.
>>585736502I used pad but I'm trying to learn hitbox in COTW from the beginning.
>>585703450>they can't even get fans of their own franchises to play their other gamesBecause there are barely any Fatal Fury fans left. It was 30 years since the name had any weight. Think about that. There are 30 year old SNK fans who weren't even alive for the release of a real Fatal Fury game. This means they're not "SNK" fans, even though they mistakenly call themselves that. They are KOF fans. Hence some of them bubbling with some weird only-child hatred that SNK finished up KOF XV and are working on COTW.Overall, though, none that even matters much. If the game was higher quality, it would've been more successful. Last FF game before the current was 1999. Last Streets of Rage before the current was even further back, in 1994. That was successful with even less modern relevance, less money behind them, and no guest features in other games, so there's no excuse.
>>585702618Despite all the posturing to new players to git gud, a lot of these players, pro players, are terrified of stepping into another franchise where other people have been playing before them and have more knowledge than them. They're afraid of losing viewers/subs/donations for going against the grain. And they're terrified of being exposed in a new body of water as trash, and only being competent in one game. That, plus sunken cost of DLC and seasons, is the real reason known players don't jump back and forth anymore like the arcade era. There's too much social snot and subscribers and clout on the line. And yes, it's retarded.
>>585672525They've programmed it so there's a magnet keeping the players together. It has all the tools for varied gameplay styles like zoning, pressure, mix-up characters, but they've forced the meta, so you have no choice but to EX combo to win. Which isn't hard, it just makes it frustratingly stale. Back jumps are nerfed. Pushback heavy attack on hit are nerfed. On block, it's nerfed, too. Projectile damage and pushback on block or hit are nerfed into the ground as well. If they tweaked all that, it would open the game up, but they won't.
>>585603968That one gets a lot of people lol
>I can't buy Kim separatewtf man
>>585748479I'm also a hitbox player. And yeah, that trial seems pretty awkward now that I'm trying it. A trick I'm testing out now to get the thing consistently is by doing 236 8 236 B and that stays in the buffer and the air super comes out. Still haven't managed to get the full combo with it, but I'll try to post an example when I do.
>>585742178Yikes. Could be true.
someone needs to use claude to make this: >KoF 2002 vs Capcom Add the capcom characters from SVC Chaos to KoF 2K2 (they have the same mechanics and graphics)

>>585755679They're probably seperate the DLC characters when S4 starts like what they did with the S1 and 2 characters. Right now they wanna milk more potential season pass buyers
Tsugumifag, there's a chance.>--I see. So, does that mean there are still many more potential characters to join the roster?>Chikatani: That's right. There are various character candidates, such as the Qin brothers, or people related to the Qin secret scrolls, or since there are few female characters, Sendo Tsugumi or Li Xiangfei, or if we want a few more villains as I mentioned earlier, Yamazaki. The problem is that it's been 10 years since "Fatal Fury 3," so I wonder how old Master Tung is now? I do have the thought that it wouldn't be good to have a frail old man fighting...
>>585788128In ps store you can check the ratings of the season passes, the highest is season 2 with 160 ratings. Let’s be extremely generous and say there’s 10x the amount of people who bought it and didn’t rate, that gives you 1600 sales. Which is $31,984 USD, and minus the 30% PlayStation cut, this gives you roughly 22k left. Now let’s say Steam is the same numbers, which is $44000.Is that even sustainable? Are they operating on profit or loss? I think even a dev’s monthly salary costs more.
>>585791297Hope? That’s a fucking confirmation. I just hope they modernize the designs, they can’t be released as is desu.
>>585770258>trannies out of nowhereYep. definitely a dumb latinx.
>>585791297>>585797343Let's goooooo!!!

>>585801571I know just wanted to empathize that it’s impossible that this game is making money.

New interview https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/interview/2150143.html>They program new costumes as new characters for some reason >Tokyo Revengers was picked because they wanted to appeal to younger players >They pick new DLC characters based on priority. Those who haven't appeared in a long time and lack 3D models are main priority, while those who always appear in KOF have the lowest priority.>Possible picks for the future are the Jin twins or those related to the Scrolls, Yamazaki because they are lacking villains, Xiangfei and Sendo because they are lacking in girls. >Seemingly they considered adding Iori but decided against since it would blur the differences between FF and KOF
>>585807552>They program new costumes as new characters for some reason>they admit it themselvesthe thing that i supposed they did to make such a gaffe, the thing that people supposed from looking into the data files, a thing that some people said i didn't understand game development about when making inferences about such, is finally confirmed by themselveswhodathunk that i could be right againthese people are amateur programmers
>>585807552>Those who always appear in KOF have the lowest priority>Add every single KOF FF character except Yamazaki, who appears less than Blue MaryThis would've been true if they postponed Kim but every DLC so far has had at least one KOF character at the minimum, S2 was especially bad since it basically has 3/6
>>585807552>>585807829and as for the rest of the post>Tokyo Revengers was picked because they wanted to appeal to younger playersinstant red flag reason>They pick new DLC characters based on priority. Those who haven't appeared in a long time and lack 3D models are main priority, while those who always appear in KOF have the lowest priority.ahahaha you literally put in kim and mary and andy and joe, most of the other characters are goddamn guests or characters from another series like big and robert karatewho do they think they're kiddingexcept for the snk marks who will eat it up and defend such reasoning and tell me i don't understand priority development>Possible picks for the future are the Jin twins or those related to the Scrolls, Yamazaki because they are lacking villains, Xiangfei and Sendo because they are lacking in girls. >>>>but then oda will override them and say "no-u! we-u needu more men-u!!">Seemingly they considered adding Iori but decided against since it would blur the differences between FF and KOFyou have likeonly three ff characters that weren't in kofxiv/xv in cotw as dlcare these people brainless
>>585807552>Those who haven't appeared in a long time and lack 3D models are main priority, while those who always appear in KOF have the lowest priority.The fact that Kim is DLC completely contradicts their statement. Not that I'm surprised, though SNK interviews have always been a complete clownshow full of contradictions and utter stupidity
that panni, tsugumi, and li xiangfei season gonna hit like crack
>>585808306and whoops, i even forgot to mention geese, who was already in the fucking game
Even if you were being generous to SNK and looking at the DLC for CotW, the numbers don't add up at all and makes CotW look worse for saying "we're totally prioritizing non-KOF characters">Andy, Joe, Mary, Geese, Robert and Kim are all KOF staples. Even if you don't count Mr. Karate as a KOF character, he's still an AOF character>Mr. Big is an AOF character, I won't count Ryo and Kasumi since they aren't in yet>Collabshit wasted on Ken, Chun-Li, Kenshiro, Mikey, Draken and Reina>This leaves the only non-KOF Fatal Fury characters Jae (who should have been base game), Krauser, Duck (these two were in KOF but I'll count them here since they were in sprite games), Rick and Laocorn so farThat's 5 characters out of 18 DLC who are actual Fatal Fury characters that aren't KOF mainstays. That's as many of the characters who ARE KOF mainstays if you generously exclude Robert. That's also excluding characters who have been in KOF like Duck, Krauser and later Xiangfei. And if you take into account characters pre-Nightmare Geese's slot on the index were intended to be DLC on launch, that means the only planned non-KOF mainstays were just Rick, Duck and Krauser (cause God Forbid they made the Super Kim Bros. BOTH DLC). This is extremely bad optics for your point
>>585806858Damn, everyone so young there.No doubt that MI was flawed but I wish they tried a bit more but I guess all their resources went into XII/XIII and then, closed the gaming division and went full pachinko.
>>585806858pls falcoon come back to help usoda is too gay and retard
>>585807552>mikey doesn't beat womenanyways watch this mf combo nigga https://youtu.be/o6yvWRsVHdg
>>585807829Are you retarded?Adding skins as separate characters is a better way to go about it than adding a whole separate system to manage skins, unless you got some kind of dress up system going on that would necessitate that or if it would lead to significant optimizations.Armchair programmers like yourself is the kind of people that will be replaced by SI.
>>585807552>>585808381And we know Kasumi was planned but still not released. And she's a character without 3D model that hasn't appeared since KOFXI/2002UM.
>>585807552>Tokyo Revengers was picked because they wanted to appeal to younger playersCoward! Just say that it’s your favorite manga and that you, and only you, wanted to see it in the game, you faggot.
>>585815936lol
>>585807552>considered adding Iori but decided against since it would blur the differences between FF and KOFAs If that shits matters anymore when the game is filled with 8 guest characters (2 real life guys) and half the cast move like KOF chars
Nevermind, he is indeed retarded.
>>585817246sorry to hear that about you'are selfs
Reminder that if they added White and Tsugumi I win. I don’t know if snk reads this thread or they’re actually reasonable people which I highly doubt.
>>585815936Not even that Anon but no that's infinitely more unnecessary work because you have to copy every single change between characters when properly coding your costumes should mean that any changes to model won't effect hitboxes. That's why costumes need to be carefully designed and animated because you shouldn't have an advantage/disadvantage when picking a different costume. It's why it's pure incompetence when the Terry alts play any differentlyThat being said costumes aren't entirely separate ID slots being filled, they're whole ass alts to the current ID which is why it necessitates separate programming when really it should just be a visual switch done by a variable instead of a separate character altogether. Unless you were making complete clone characters, there's no reason for this>>585817010Seriously, I don't get where this "muh Fatal Fury" purity comes from when the game has been fully bastardized from day one

>>585815936Seems like you and SNK are the dumb retards here
>>585818091since this is snkof land, it'll totally have more people entering the snk games (especially kof) than the other games amirite
>>585818091That's how you know the organizers are out of touch
>>585818274SF6 is way bigger than KOFXV and COTW. 2002 has more people than any of them but they're all poorfags who can't pay R$1000 just to enter the tournament.This is only for the rich Brazilian FGC.
>>585818091>>585818709Also, considering the prices, I think Tokon and M1K will have laughable numbers. I would predict the ranks being:>SF6>KOFXV>COTW >Tekken8>Strive>Tokon>Avatar>M1K
>>585818091Yeah this is going to be the emptiest EVO ever. With these prices (and also the Brazilian economy melting down thanks to retarded voters) very few people will be able to afford tickets.
Furthermore, regarding how characters/costumes are made, the load-bearing Goku in Strive is the basis for all of the game's characters and rather than making individual statistics for every single character in the game, every character references the 0 Goku's statistics and have tweaks on him that make each character unique. This is faster, dev-wise, because you aren't individually making sure every character has completely unique attributes and can just edit the references off the base instead of needing to copy them from scratch and making sure every single character works individuallyDoing every single thing individually from characters to costumes is just extra work that doesn't do anything but bloat the game size
>>585819246>>585818091>Fuck it, we're autosaging anywayI would add that Granblue Rising or Under Night deserved way more than Mortal Kombat 1. Now if they had UMK3 on the other hand it would be a different story. It would be funny if they had that one as a side tournament with more entrants than M1K.>>585819295Yeah, nowadays it's quite expensive to travel to São Paulo. I can't imagine those prices by next year after this election.
Imagine Fatal Fury gets more entrants in Evo Brazil that honestly would be dope
>>585819695Never in a million fucking years kek
>>585819401thank yousnk programmers are freshies who only understand coding from an amateur perspective so everything they "know" how to do is the way that involves coming around your ass to get to your elbownot many people imagined ai would get to the point it has rn but i knew it was coming over a decade ago because i was understanding how image searches back then were generally working on clusters and other statistical inferences made and how that could be used in consolidation and synthesis in a field known as dataminingaka not the datamining you guys think is datamining
>>585820356You would think even AI would correct them at this point.Let's think that hopefully, they learned their lesson by AOF4 or whatever is their next game.
