The King of Fighters XII US Trailer from Ignition Entertainment and SNK Playmore

[ELQUITO12]

the graphics are shit

[rovh78]

on ps official mag they only gave it 3 stars out of 5, so i probably will stay with street fighter 4 the best out there right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackSeaProductions]

what about soulcalibur 4?

[snkfiend]

Stupid ass you is listening to a BIASED ass book noob ass. SO if SF had a 3 out of 5 you wont get it either. Your ass never played a fucking KOF game in your life so gtfo of the capcom curse and play better like blazblue or something DAMN!!!

[stickywolfwood]

o ill kick some ass alright

[cokIe4Ever]

SF4 and This game are both great. I saw both of them in my local arcade and they both look spectacular.

[starforce24]

streetfighter 4 kills this....my opinon,2d is oldskool and this is next gen lol...stf4 had AMAZZZZING graphics good style,yer il admit gameplay on this looks good but come on 2d is so last gen,were is the physics...graphics....textures the lot...lol

looks like a bag of shit

[BlackSeaProductions]

I saw another trailer and the graphics looked way better btw SF is the worst next after virtua fighter

[starforce24]

every 1 is intitled to there opinon.i still stick with stf.....airbrushed is sick besides 2d is oldskool....in next gens to come there will be 4d,5d etc...kof looks like a cartoon.you have to move from 2d in order to get looks of realism.like i said its to do with personal preference my friend...stf delivers in taste that suits me

[BlackSeaProductions]

it looks cool but I don't like the characters or original games - I could imagine the future a great mix resembling to SF4¨'s graphics and other great games gameplay but with a great part KOF characters, story and gameplay

AND why did the ynever make a marvel vs dc ? I t DOESN'T make sense, too much rivalry maybe xD but snk vs capcom owns

[wrestletube1]

Fighting games are supposted to be like cartoons except the wrestling ones which are based off of real people.

[snkfiend]

SF IS A PIECE OF SF2 SHIT SO SPAM AWAY 3D is BS and BLAZBLUE ALSO DESTROY SF ha ha ha 2D rocks and 3d SUCKS!! 3rd Strike is the best SF.

[snkfiend]

These idiots saying that KOF was copied from SF how. They are 2 different fighters stupid asses so crawl back under your crapcom rock.

[BlackSeaProductions]

agree and king of fighters/fatal fury came be4 SF (I think) and they're made by the same developers too, so some characters make guest appearances in their games

[snkfiend]

SF is BS and Garbage 3d graphics also did that idiot call KOF a cartoon HA. And not true shitty ass SF1 came out first and SF2 but SNK started to make SNK fighters at 94 I think and they first game was Fatal Fury and art of fighting series which are still great titles.

[BlackSeaProductions]

I know and agree but I give every fighting game a chance, take it easy lolz and that's a noob it's an honorable game, manga and manhua and very short animé xP

[snkfiend]

Well I understand ok but ppl are ppl.

[Feijoada1]

No SF came first

[BlackSeaProductions]

Sure, but Art of fighting (and Fatal fury )came be4 and they're part of king of fighters

[Feijoada1]

Wrong again. I said SF came first and I mean it. Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury came after SF.

Art of Fighting (Fists of Dragon and the Tiger) - September 1992

Fatal Fury (Legend of the Hungry Wolf) - November 1991

Street Fighter - August 1987

Street Fighter II - March 1991

[BlackSeaProductions]

okok

[wrestletube1]

You forgot about Fist and International Karate which started Street Fighter off.

[Feijoada1]

Fist? That came out for PSX way after SF.

[wrestletube1]

lol. It came out about a decade and a half before PSX and the likes were even thought of.

[Feijoada1]

Are we talking about the same game? Fist is a PSX Japanese game featuring anime like characters developed by Imagineer. Came out Nov 1996

[Feijoada1]

now Fist+ developed by Firebird came out in 1988 for Commodore 64 came out in 1988 which is still one year after Street Fighter.

And not everyone knows about International Karate because that only came out in EU in 86'

[wrestletube1]

I'm talking the very first one way of the exploding which was before Fist + and just after IK.

[Feijoada1]

meh no point in arguing semantics over obscure beat em ups. Really, its Street Fighter that put fighting games on the map and started the whole craze..

[wrestletube1]

Beat Em Up was Double Dragon I think.

[Feijoada1]

Im saying a lot of those games you listed were beat em ups too.

Anyways its stupid semantics. Wasnt the Bruce Lee C64 game in the early 80's? I also remember a boxing game from the mid 80's too which was 1p vs 2p (and no it was Punch Out)

[snkfiend]

SF is BS full of crapcom faggots play that shit.

[AstronAstroll]

I'm sorry man, but you're one of the reasons that SNK fans have such a bad rap outside of Hispanic countries, Japan, and half of Europe. :D Have a nice day!

[snkfiend]

Not true thats why US has a bias going with this game. Being jealous about 2D graphics come on man and better gameplay. So you have a nice day!! And again you are lying.

[DarknessMadeFlesh]

oh yeah can't wait for this game to come out..

[sleepyhase]

kant wait 4 dizzz .......im gonna get diz game as soon as it koms out fo sho........... *ñ_ñ* ..... looks way better than street fighter......

[Attaiguy]

Well, Im happy now, 26 characters will be in the game, we only know about 22 of them, so 4 are left up for speculation, one has to be the boss.....hopefully!

[VPACdjr8nx]

from 0:53 to 1:17 favorite part of the this trailer.

[LordPenguin7485]

I really hope the fighting system is as stiff and quasi responsive as i remember it.

:/

[shamlix]

ever played kof2002,

i want the respond is like that

[wharcraff]

Does anyone know if the tag system from KOF XI returns? they don't mention it and the matches I see online don't seem to show anyone doing that.

[shamlix]

tag system not back

[AzzurroRain]

K I C K S O M E A S S! I am so buying this and, of course, Blazblue, whichever comes first!

[AzzurroRain]

This is my first time seeing anything related to this game, and I must say, I'm sold. *hickit*

[modejoker]

this is not the serie of kof!

look at street fighters (i hate)

real kof: 95 96 97 98 99 2000 2001 2002 2003

[Einchy1]

Are you posting that in every KOF XII video you see?

[shamlix]

you forgot 94

[Gr3dyG3NiUsK1d0]

I think im gona like this game, street fighter 4 was awesome.. Hope this one will be aswell!

[batjoke666]

ARE YOU OKAY? BUSTER WOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hand drawn beats 3D anyday!

[Jafcon69]

dam right!! when tey stop hand drawing mega man after megaman 8 and x6 i wrote them off!

[ryanspirit]

finally a KOF game with better graphics

[dannarchitect]

shiit ! exclusive for PS3 :(

[tmrgroup]

it also on xbox 360,lol.......

[0998769]

actually it said in PSW magazine that KOF XII is PS3 exclusive

[supersokla]

BS go back and read up retard it is comming to the 360 also

[0998769]

Fuck you! man the magazine might have been wrong so it may come to te 360 after all.

[tchkaine]

its exclusive in japan but in the USA it will be available for both PS3 and 360

[0998769]

what about Europe?

[xLordxcheeriox]

Who the hell is hiring these people that make Hollywood trailers for videogames!? Anyways, looks pretty good! Never played KOF but I guess this'll be my first. Wish they would add the "Wryyyyyyyy" guy just as a cameo though.

:c

[conradojavier]

it's like Warners Bros. or Paramount Pictures own the rights the promote KOF or something.

[Chaka52]

Look Amazing!! :) KOF XII > SF4? :D

[jediknightgeo]

This is AWESOME news as I've just read online that the 360/PS3 versions of KOF 12 will have a exclusive characters on top of the 20 that was already announced! SNK Playmore didnt say who the new characters were or how many they were adding but at least its great to know that it'll be more than 20 characters. This game is going to seriously ROCK.

[leonh2007]

i never liked these kind of games n still dont

[songokussj3]

Are you okaaay? BUSTER WOLF!!!

[somethinglacking1]

hooray for handdrawn!

[SaadiSherazi]

I wish they had put K' in there...he is one the "world's greatest fighter".....

[conradojavier]

they used him as the 15th anniversary Logo.

[DawnOfSouls666]

omfg yess!!! finally

[ivelocityi]

Well atleast SNK still stuck to their roots. Your still masters of the 2d World.

[Summon256]

i mean i know about piracy and all that...and about danger and risk of this game being released for PC...but now piracy touched 360 and PS3 too, so i dont see a big differance as on how much money they're gonna lose if they release Pc version too...as far as they will lose money from all others releases too...

[Summon256]

i so wish this game to come out on PC...as i dont have money for any console (ps3, 360, wii or whatever...) all i have is my old Ps2 and high-end PC...

...by the way i've heard it was rumoured to come out on pc too...but this rumour hasnt been confirmed :(

...but i actually see a logic to release this KOF on pc too, as much as we didnt have earlier any 3d version of SF, and now we're getting SF4 for pc !...so why not to realease this KOF on PC as a backfire to SF4 release on PC ?

[jediknightgeo]

Damn this looks freakin GORGEOUS. Personally I prefer this look SO much more than Street Fighter 4's 3D look (dont get me wrong though as I like SF4 VERY much). Even though it kind of sucks that it only has 20 fighters I'm sure the gameplay (as with alot of SNK fighters) will MORE than make up for the slightly small roster. Cant wait to get my grubby mitts on this beauty come July.

[akvalues]

looks alot better then sf4!

[BrokenElement89]

FUCK THAT

KOF is still beast though

[KKanji1979]

I liked Gouken, C.Viper, and Rufus cause of his wild moveset, and Seth is the biggest rip off, of a boss. Seth is Geegus, from World Heroes, Dural from Virtua Fighter, and Part Urien from 3rd Strike.

I am ecstatic that SNKP kept the formula, and they still give you great backgrounds, and music. The focus attack is a mixture of at least three tactics 1.Guard Break from SFEX+A, Life Guage from MVC2, and Guard Crush from KOF, if memory serves me right.

[KKanji1979]

@Virtual Dynamite Hell yeah I'm w/you, I luv both universes, if ex employees hadn't split from Capcom, we wouldn't have the SNKP of today. I stand firm when I say was complete GARBAGE, all those years of waiting, turned to toilet waste. Capcom has turned away their fans, a testament of fighting games is to see how close, the concept art can be translated to VG animation, like Manga to Anime. You can screwup any other fighting games but leave SF & KOF alone.

[VirtualDynamite]

I have to admit the hand drawn art is much more appealing than sf4 3d graphics.

Now, who is up for some fucking hand drawn, CAPCOM VS SNK2 BILLIONARE FIGHTING 2009!!!!!

[YTwotcha]

this is going to be awesome now all they have to do is make CAPCOM vs SNK 3

[jediknightgeo]

I COULD NOT agree with you more. I absolutely LOVED the Capcom Vs SNK series and it would kick so much ass if they came out with a part 3 and it looked as beautiful as KOF 12. It doesnt matter to me who developes it, Capcom or SNK, as i love both companies respective fighters and their fighting systems. YOU READIN' THIS CAPCOM/SNK!!!??? CAPCOM VS SNK 3....MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

[ANYTHINGELSETODO]

I've always liked Terry Bogard better than Kyo. I think they just made kyo the main character because they wanted an asian main character. Terry FTW. I'm asian, so its not racist.

[Blazerthunder]

damn no K'

[frozenray0079]

haha this is amazing. i am so excited. this is the best-looking 2D fighting game I have seen since, like, garou street fighter III and the guilty gear x series. SF4 looks mad-sick in its ownn way because capcom is still king of 2D fighters. but SNK has been swinging at the crown for years. with this gem, they may very well deserve it this time. we will see when it comes out. because SNK, not capcom, were the ones keeping 2D fighting alive all those years while capcom was sleeping!

[KellyNUTS]

Ive been playing both for about 15 years now ,sorry to say it, but after Alpha 2, KOF took the crown from Capcom IMO, but yeah totally agree, KOF kept the genre alive while Capcom were sleping!

IMO KOF had an oppertunity with II to properly once and for all take the crown, but im just worried about the roster, or lack there of. LOL KOF2k2UM = 66Characters!!

[XESHADOWX]

Well not all the characters honestly dont make the game since most people only play S-A maybe B tier characters. Everyone else rarely gets any play time. I must say though I got bored of KOF after 98 came out.. the games later became well broken.

[dpk4]

hand drawn graphics look fucking awesome, I really cannot wait to see some of the super move animations in full motion.

ARE YOU OKAY!?

BUSTA WAAARRUUUUFFFF!!!

[appleorangepeargrape]

damn hand drawn looks fucking amazing

[dvlspirit]

is this ps1 game lol

[jediknightgeo]

Whooohoooo!!! Thank you Ignition Entertainment for picking up and publishing this beauty!!! And there releasing it for PS3 and 360!!! This is going to absolutely rock. Man, July cant get here fast enough.

[kilakel]

looks so crappy ..

looks like ps2 quality to me

[snkfiend]

And you is a crappy ass spamming SF noob.

[zephiroth87]

fuck street figther 4 thas a shit KOF rules YEAHHHH

[GamingHD]

only 4 ps3!!!! damn no xbox 360

[Chick6517]

This video really caught me off guard. It gave me areally good laugh though. =D It just shows that you really have to pay attention to EVERYTHING.

[mattwash32]

how is this ever gonna top street fighter 4

[Bttscks]

2 words.

Terry Bogard.

[KellyNUTS]

EASY, If your a major KOF fan like me u can tell. Capcom tried SOO desperatly to imitate KOF with SF4, the focus system is an abortion of the guard crush/escape & super cancel, to bad capcom couldnt make it better they just made it crappier and more complicated!

+ Viper = Terry

Fuerte = Ramon

OK Capcom were the original but now they are just slack, look @ backgrounds in SF4, theres like 8 but looks like more cos day & night, and most are stages we have seen in SF2.

[KellyNUTS]

IMHO Shame on both SNK & Capcom with backgrounds lately, any1 remember the good old days when every character/team had their own?

PS: Im not a hater im actually playing SF4 now on 360(hit me up if any1 wants a challange, my GT is same name as on here).

[mattwash32]

first off KOF was completely based of street fighter in the first place

and the focus system is great and lets not even get to the 10+ plus characters kof pulled from street fighter....and with the backrounds we are in a new generation here with downloadable content...more backrounds will come

[KellyNUTS]

LMAO just like the costume DLC thats on the Disc!??! Sorry I know KOF copied SF originally, but people cant see how much Capcom slacked off with SF4, I think u will see more backgrounds on another disc, not DLC!! DW im sure cappy will rls SF4:Super Champion Hyper 3rd strike Edition

[XESHADOWX]

Why would they put more backgrounds... and i doubt capcom would ever do that =.= they only released so many SF2s because people were hacking the game and they thought it would be nice to take those ideas and intergrated into the game itself.

[KellyNUTS]

R.I.P Street Fighter 4!!!

Dont let the speed of the video fool u this game is fluid and fast!!!

[kilakel]

doesn't looks attractive at all...

[2Cloud5]

noob..

[kilakel]

men, you gotta addmit it looks crappy

[2Cloud5]

Its 2D, its not always about graphics.

You have to look at gameplay sometimes to..

[Shinobi308]

all i want 2 know is when the FUDGE!!

is this game coming out?????????//

[Ell3Garden]

Like Seriously this is going back to 2d fighting game basics sf4 aint touching this sf is overated and if u like sf4 ur not a hardcore 2d fighting game fan nuff said

[MagicBaboon]

So all the professional gamers who play Street Fighter as well as King of Fighters and make money doing it aren't hardcore 2d fighting game fans?

[KellyNUTS]

They might be, but if u ask them, I can bet most of them will say KOF is a better game, its not about the graphics its about the gameplay, and KOF sh!ts all over SF(ANY SF!!) in the gameplay dept.

Dont let this trailer fool u, this game is 100% faster and more fluid than what it looks in the trailer and compared to SF4!! :)

[rexpro02]

more than sf3 third strike yeah right....

do u see any kof in evo? no? i see sf3 which is more than 10 years old...

[KellyNUTS]

rexpro2, u havent played KOF properly have u? SF3 wsa the deepest SF till SF4, but SF3 was still slow and very predicatable when u have something as fast paced as KOF alot more skill is required!EVO is USA tournament yeh? dunno why KOF isnt in it, maybe cos its not released stateside like SF? Sorry dunno im not American.

[MagicBaboon]

I think you're insane.

[01494108333]

this looks crappish

[twg9288]

6/10 - Judging my this trailer it seems like it would be a little too sluggish for the hardcore fighting fan like myself

[NotGabeNewell]

You call yourself a hardcore fighting fan but you don't like KOF ? Gtfo.

SFIV is good but I'll be getting this and it'll be better.

[WhiteEmerald1991]

smash bros. brawl is the best fighting game in the next gen era.

[twg9288]

Definitely STREET FIGHTER IV

[WhiteEmerald1991]

HA!!!!!!!

[McRaZeNGuN]

The graphics sucks big dick this is like the other old ones KoF just same old stuff nothing new not even graphics. So wat if its hand drawn it still looks like PS n PS2 graphics.

[SlyCopper23]

looks pretty decent.

[slickbob11111]

i would get this game but it wont make me put street fighter 4 down

[idbaa]

sf4 all dayy

[trillionmidnight]

graphics amazing

seriously uhhh unlucky capcom did think of dis did ya lol this looks just like the animation

[cr4zylyfe]

hmmmmmmmm?

[MOY025]

damnn looks tite! I also heard that Capcom is planning a CvsSNK3????

[Grahf]

That is my ultimate dream now with XII and SFIV, where did you hear it?

[eliaskollado]

A live-action movie of The King of Fighters has been scheduled for a 2010 release, it stars Sean Faris as Kyo Kusanagi and will

[qu4zu000]

suck some ass

just finishing your sentence

[Chase0782]

ugh..some of you people have no respect for 2-D fighters

[Grahf]

That's what you get with the FPS obsessed generation, drooling over Call of duty 14.

[crimsonlung]

Graphics arent all that impressive. I still remember back in the day play KOF 95' on my ps1, those were the days.

[Nevermore2007]

thats why it says HAND DRAWN stupid shit for brains

[crimsonlung]

Doesnt matter you cock muncher, its still sub par hand drawing. You gaming amateur, lol. tool

[Frintez]

game on consol Dendy?

[arseniy]

Terry in K.O.F?.. LOL. He never was my fav like K or King. The one who think KOF is cheap copy of SF is kinda wrong so much :P

I have no idea how good this one can be.

[RE4E]

no! i rather marvel vs capcom 3 :D yeah!!!!

[XKaiminalX]

I'd love to see another Capcom Vs SNK or maybe Capcom Vs SNK vs Sega AM2?

[ProcyonAlpha]

KOF > Street Fighter

[U6S5M8A9N]

tbh i would prefer SF4 over it.. possibly even over tekken of which i have been a fan since the day it came out!!!

[IVFADE2BLACKVI]

definitely getting it

[0orazielo0]

Kick some ass. xDDD

[maxpower010]

i always thought that KOF was a cheap copy of street fighter, and i still do :D, but the trailer looks awesome

[GlassGoth]

King Of Fighters > Street Fighter imho.

King of Fighters has a much better selection of characters, and everyone has a fighting chance in the game. Oh, and most of the people I know have a favorite character that isn't an equivalent to Ryu in Street Fighter.

[maxpower010]

most people I know have a favourite character in SF that isn't an 'equivalent' of Terry in KOF ;)

[Summon256]

what about Kyo or Ryo ? :)

[maxpower010]

i'm sorry, i don't play this, i don't know them LOL

[iRoNiCoSaRCaST]

they supossed to be dead. or not?

[DonkeyFist]

Is it confirmed for 360 or just PS3?

[gamingbits]

Yes, for both.

[reubenator]

Jeez.. A phenominal trailer!!

Kick...Some...Ass... lol

[sinistermoon]

Looks awesome.

[HipHopJun]

congrats. You win nothing.

btw, this game wont top street fighter 4. But the animation in this game is incredible!

[DarkEclips]

I thought the animation looks half ass. Still has that old 1990's feel to it. The explosion effects on that one character just looks like complete crap.

[mirageknight24]

They used motion capture for the moves and rendered the sprites pixel by pixel in high-def.

I admit this trailer kinda sucks.

The one on the Japanese SNKPlaymore site is way better.

[Grahf]

Yea, a little too westernized.
