Oh he had to drag those posts here because nobody replied to them in /sfg/. That always seems to happen

All those new players will eventually drop it exactly because the visuals look ugly. SNK can try everything but as long as the root cause for why it flopped is still there nothing will change.

... Then why did they buy it? Why not buy a game that does actually look good instead?

>>587289768
Because Tokon deez nuts looks like shit for different reasons

>>587289768
It’s multiple priorities, this game plays so badly it’s probably the worst fg in recent years, of course graphics alone won’t sell it. As for COTW yeah definitely the gameplay is better than SF6 and T8 but not by a long shot, is that enough to sell it alone? Probably not.
SF6 and T8 are more successful exactly because of that, serviceable gameplay and polished graphics. Balanced approach.

>>587290134
If you're describing punching bag T8 as "serviceable gameplay" then you're really doing a disservice to the argument. It sold on name brand because it's the biggest fg in Europe, more so than SF. Harada built massive reputation there and was basically free money for Bamco for years until T8 shat itself up doing the worst aspects of T7 thanks to being handled by "new blood" until even Harada and the old guard got fed up and left for fucking SNK of all companies

Trying to argue with you niggas that have a vendetta against SNK for making lackluster games is hilarious because grass is greener mentality has fried your brains. I legitimately dislike the current direction of fighting games and am waiting for CotW to actually do something legitimately interesting if I were to ever consider getting back into it. Same with Tekken 8, because you're probably going to call me some SNK shill if I don't mention again that I actually LIKE Tekken and think it's still in a better state than SF6. And it's not even in a healthy state at all, no normal company puts ads in their fucking game begging people to work on it. It's no wonder people flocked to the vibecoded Tekken 6 patch. Maybe if fans tried doing that shit more often, these companies might actually have to try again

Can't wait for Max's "We were wrong about Fatal Fury" video, where he claims that all the reason the game flopped is because of le Xitter haters, and that he totally was a always a Fatal Fury bro and he was always fervently defended it, and that Ronaldo is actually a cool guy and he would never accuse him of being a rapist, and how Sajam and friends have always wanted Fatal Fury to succeed, and that he would never rape the game for Resetera points, or he would never backstab SNK because he believed 2XKO is actually the savior of the FGC, no it's actually Invincible vs, no it's actually Tokon... Then start groaning and moaning about how much he wants Rock in Tekken, or Tifa in Art of Fighting 4 and Cloud in SamSho RPG, and that SNK should shower him with gifts again, and that Harada should send Lars cosplayers to blow him, etc etc...

History is cyclical. But I sure do hope you are correct.

>>587293593
Yeah I think it's pretty sluggish especially compared MOTW. All new SNK games but Samsho feel a bit weird to me.

>>587293816
The mobility in CotW (and post-XIII KOF) is all fucking dogshit. Backwalking in these games is sluggish compared to the neo geo sprite games, and hops are far slower now. I fucking hate it, I don't want running forward to be the only decently fast option, otherwise I'd be playing a fucking anime fighter which only goes fast moving forward, with degenerate oki and mixups.

KOF was so much better when its mobility and pacing was only sort of slower than Vampire Savior, doubly true for MotW which played like absolute butter.

He only has true setplay while in SPG, he's more notable these days because of his annoying zoning and 5C being a do everything normal.

Nobody was saying Japan gave a fuck about those, anyone talking about Ronaldo Rape and Saudi Money is entirely the performative Western FGC. Fighting games just generally aren't popular in Japan, Tekken and Strive's popularity is entirely outside of its home country. And CotW's vtuber interest kinda proved the vtuber stuff helped a lot with SF6, also an ugly game

In hindsight, I think where SNK fucked up with trying to shill CotW with Kronii and Gigi was because those were the EN branch when they should've been trying to get people like Korone and Subaru to play

>>587364198
It should be Laocoōn but Americans can't read that...

>>587378629
>nobody was saying this or that
it's what they DIDN'T say when making their excuses of how ronaldo damaged the game's chances of success

it's like when people say "final fight's poison was censored in america" which is only true for the snes (and later the gba) ports of the game, but not the arcade version, it's an omission of facts to show an exception that would otherwise demonstrate that there's more to it than just a simple assumption

because however you want to frame fighting games and their lack of grab, snk is facing it much worse, which means there's more to snk's failures than just "fighting games aren't relevant" or "ronaldo rapes (western side)" because ronaldo has a large ass twitter follower count, so even saying that is absurd

>>587378851
Just refer to him as Gaudeamus. "Laocorn" is hard to take seriously.

>>587380469
Nobody was really talking about the importance of the Japanese audience in these threads. They're legitimately majority of SF6's playerbase anymore, Western FGC have flocked to Deadlock or other avenues entirely. SNK was pushing so hard for a worldwide phenomenon that they ignored the safest demographic which itself was a colossal mistake

Generally I think it's a testament this entire time SNK's marketing has never improved and they don't know how to push their crap at all because the supposed people who SHOULD be most interested (the "FGC") are the ones pushing against the game while fighting games generally have no draw to the larger normie demographic and never have because they're these nerdtech showcases and not casual fun. I'm holding reservation for drops because this reads more like a new honeymoon phase and not a consistent pull unless somehow SNK manages to take better advantage of their monthly updates than they have been. I've legitimately never seen a fighting game spike back to life like this, they usually stay dead as fuck

If the game launched at $5 (which clearly is how much it's worth) then they would've probably hit a million by now out of sheer curiosity. Turns out people want games to cost less, not more.

i said the game was worth no more than 30 at launch, and lo and behold, not too many months after, they knocked the price of the game down to that and i got it then

What does Smart Style even do? Is it just exactly like Modern Mode in Street Fighter 6 or is it different?
I have bad execution, can I play Chun-Li on smart style and start being a godlike killer?

>>587402776
Auto-combos and one button specials. You can can get pretty far just mashing, either the light button for safe combos or heavy button for riskier but more rewarding combos

After trying the older FF games and SF games, COTW is really more closer to SF, and I’m baffled at how Oda thought that this was ok.

>>587415263
Wakka is a man, why would he have a BBL
Oh wait...

>>587415513
I don't think it's trying to hide that. It's why I say that most people who defend this game never really cared about Fatal fury in the first place.

Also now I see it, if this game actually came with 2D sprites it would’ve fared much better because naturally that’s what they were inspired by when making it, but it translated horribly into 3D. But I still applaud their efforts into successfully making a classic arcade experience into a modern game. If not only for the autistic combos and SPG.

>>587415637
It’s not that they were hiding it, but it was explicitly marketed with the slogan of “return of the legendary Fatal Fury series” only to be just FF in name. It shows that they have no problem purposefully misleading people and the little respect they have for their legacy. Let alone how commercially stupid it was to make a street fighter game in the skin of another series. They could’ve asked Capcom for a SNK vs Capcom or a spin off title if that’s what they were going for.

>>587415513
It's a sequel to MotW, of course it is closer to SF than to the real FF games.
It is cool that they added Wild Ambition-like Heat mechanics though.

>>587416806
This. And even though Garou pays great respect to Fatal Fury, it still wanted to be its own thing, hence the absence of bounds, lanes, but the addition of Just Defend and TOP, which CotW later evolved into SPG.

>>587417273
>hence the absence of bounds, lanes
even though there are stages that have these, but only one and one, despite the promise during a q&a for more

>>587416806
>>587416806
Nah it’s even far away from motw. Like it goes backwards from being influenced by SF like motw and AoF, to just becoming SF.

The most popular Fatal Furies are all the most SF-esque like Special and Garou. I feel the Real Bout 2 resurgence is more modern since that game is clearly the ultimate realized vision of the original Fatal Fury. Making a successor to that game was never in the cards though because that would mean Nu SNK would take a risk and make something different than just copying homework. CotW is a safely a direct sequel to MotW and iterates on that, which might as well make it KOF-lite which people treated it as on launch

But the performative FGC wouldn't have taken CotW seriously if it was a spiritual successor to the actual Fatal Fury series. So this is the compromise we get in the end. Hopefully they realize that FF doesn't really have legs without some kind of shot in the ass instead of just this middling 1v1 meme. Not that I would ask for Tag, I'd rather the game be playable at all

>>587416806
Garou was meant to be its own thing. That's why it dropped the "Densetsu" off it's title and had entirely new systems.
COTW doesn't feel close to it though despite it having the same mechanics.

>>587417273
The worst crime of CotW is having dogshit movement compared to MotW's butter-like mobility. Sure shove in all of the system mechanics from that game that were arguably really divisive but god forbid you let characters move.
Of all things to not replicate from MotW why would you not replicate the actual true best thing about that game?

Well he's clearly not alone considering all the Japanese replies and quotes seem to be agreeing with him.

Surely they will take advantage of this revived air and drop the Laocorn trailer sometime this week, right?

>>587425986
Put the DLCs on sale too nigga. Who cares if the pass isn't finished

>>587425986
The dlc releases in like ten days, relax.

>>587425986
Me thinks Laocorn trailer will be on 19th, just a few hours before GTA6.

I'm kinda amazed they haven't shown off any gameplay of Laocorn by now

When is someone going to make an "Endgoodening of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves" type video? At least something that has shown off all the additions since launch.

>>587427254
>Endgoodening
the fuck kind of word is that

>>587427321
The inverse of enshittification. We're so used to the latter, there's no counterpart

>>587427419
you put end- instead of en- so that threw me off and made me think it was some kind of mangling of endgame

>>587427725
Oh I'm not that anon, I can just read autism

I only want Laocoön but I'm not buying an entire fucking season for him. Put the dlc characters on individual sale you retards.

>>587418234
Yuri facesitting. Don't let any Brits cops see this post.

Next KoF should be 1v1 first (like based MI) so that casual audience wouldn't be scared away.

>>587441843
oh no no no no no kof bros, we can't let this anon say such a heretical statement, it needs to be 3v3 to retain its kofness.......

>>587441843
>>587441992
Why not both? You can play 1v1s in KOF, I just notice nobody ever does BECAUSE 3v3 is the arcade standard

>>587442148
psalms 3:3 says "thou shalt not play kof outside of 3 vs 3 team elimination matches" leviticus 3:3 says "if you play kof in anyway other than 3 vs 3 then you are not a true kof man and will burn in hell"

>>587442148
You can, but it's barely supported and isn't the focus, when it should be used for all single player activities by default, as well as first choice in competetive selection. It should also be the mode that is used for advertisement.

>>587443615
That's the thing about whining about it "not being the focus" like it's not like the lane switching or ring outs where those are arbitrarily locked to stages. You can just do it. It can be mandated by a tournament. But the reason it isn't is because the focus of using 3 characters is unique to the identity of KOF and other games don't even bother to incorporate anything similar. It's genuinely fun to have 3 different characters per round and they tend to go by pretty quickly. 2v2 would also be a nice option to have and be a good middle ground

Maybe if they made a separate online mode focusing on 1v1s people would play them more, but I guess they'd never do that

What a worst time for them that this revival happened just 1 week before GTAVI. Probably everyone will forget about it by December.

>>587444445
the only displeasure i get out of that is that i can't prove that such a thing was going to happen anyway without gtavi, only a slight bit more slowly

>>587444445
Depends on GTAVI's Japanese success, I know GTAV is successful there but that game is like 15 years old now and the main reason people still buy it is because it runs on potatoes. GTAVI is console exclusive and locked to 30FPS so it won't just be a testament to distractions from other games but legitimately a statement about how utterly fucked the industry will be as a whole if it succeeds

>>587288382
