>somebody will get paid $50k for playing this in 2025
>>12062312There's no way SNK is gonna go through with making a new AoF after the new Fatal Fury flopped so hard... right?
>>12062364>new AoF>new Fatal FuryNot retro.
What was wrong with aof3?
>>12062389no Mr Big
>>12062389He is banned thoughever
>>12062312huh?wat u mean?
Fighting games are bigger right now than any point in history. >inb4 angry retortsI know this subject deeply, have been playing in tournaments since 2000. I stand by my previous remark.
It is 100% the Saudi money stuff, but I do think its cool that certain old fighting games actual get real tournaments with prize pools.>>12062364far more likely there's just an AoF character or two in CotW season 2. They might have considered AoF4 if CotW wasn't as much of a flop
>>12062364Saudi's don't really care, it's play money to them.
>>12062312Huh? What's going on...?
>>12062389Twittefaggotry about the “sanctity” of fighting games and shit. They're upset that brown genocidal maniacs (not white genocidal maniacs) are funding tournaments. And that it's not the “right” game. I mean Smash, which is mostly a DIY community where the company itself hates them. It's proof that the already DIY FGC community doesn't need the big bucks. Traveling will always be a problem, but it's not like the best players in each region had the same opportunities.
>>12062456>don't add a soccer player in a flimsy attempt to get normies who weren't going to play the game to play the gameIt was that simple
>>12062491>Twittefaggotry about the “sanctity” of fighting games and shit. They're upset that brown genocidal maniacs (not white genocidal maniacs) are funding tournaments.isn't it just troons and troon enablers doing their moral grandstanding routine (sajam has already said he wont attend or commentate anything they host so I have to thank the saudis for that)
>>12062478Saudis are pouring money into esports using their ownership of SNK to host the SNK World Championships, with big prize pools for (not-retro) newest Fatal Fury, KoF, and Samsho, and they threw AoF3 in there too. Plans thus far are for a new AoF but people are skeptical because Fatal Fury didn't do great, but SNK also just opened a brand new branch in Tokyo recently, so I'm not sure the Saudis even care that they're pissing money away; it'll probably still happen. I mean, hosting AoF3 at all seems like an obvious ploy to drum up interest in the IP in anticipation of a new game. I doubt it'll WORK but I don't see any reason to do it otherwise.
>>12064575AOF has a really dull roster, I can't see it sustaining a new game at all. All the best characters already show up in KOF.Fatal Fury at least has enough cool characters to sustain itself even if they did pick a pretty mediocre selection for the new MOTW
>>12064586It's just a dull, shallow game overall.
>>12062312AoF3 kicked ass.
>>12064575>Saudis are pouring money into esports using their ownership of SNK to host the SNK World Championshipsholy (pbuh) based
>>12062389Think the only issue is Ryo especially, maybe Robert, have far too much dev time and effort put in compared to other characters and far more moves and tech. On the other side there's Lenny and the cop dude who have like 2 specials and only a few effective normals in combos. Just seems chars with effort put in are going to be the highest tier.
>>12062312>AoF3Ah yes, 2D Tekken
