SS, vamp saviour, and last blade all lack kof's depth. vamp especially, it felt pokey/slow, like SF2. I love last blade, so much so, I got good enough to one coin it, but frankly it's formulaic. it's shining moments come from perfect counters into the highest damage combo you could dial and the occasional ballsy player who picked EX. LB and SS suffer balance problems, not to mention some players are more dangerous in their deathrows than at full health. that's idiotic. again, LOVED TLB.
I'm sorry, but you're crazy if you think just because KoF has tons of subsystems (which TAKE AWAY from a game's depth!) it's deeper than Vampire Savior. What makes a fighting game deep is its individual characters' move sets and strategies, not a bunch of shit in the game that EVERY character can do.
Hell the Fatal Fury games are a shitload deeper than the KoF games if you ask me.
Not to be a jerk, but you're wrong. A movelist does give options, but it's the system that allows bigger branches and paths to be taken with those options which opens the doors to take more rewarding risks and create bigger strategies from those risks. KOF is hella deep because you always had multiple options, same way with Garou. Vampire Savior is deep because of the system, and the movelist works well along with it.
@EvilShinGouki I guess I could see that haha If Dan would do some massive training, stop wearing pink and get serious. That could be the end result x3
@Xecutionner2K It's not popular because in the limited mind of the average gamer, only one game can ever be good. Everything else sucks, regardless of whether it actually does.
This game has more animation in it to date, an amazing fighting system, nice ambience and music, yet just because people have been sucking off mama SF's titties since they were basically kids, they are going to bash this? Amazing...Simply, astounding levels of human stupidity.
I don't know why everyone hates this game. Just because the pixels are no longer as big as Cheez-Its doesn't mean they've ruined the series. I mean, I still play Dream Match '99 on my Dreamcast, and yeah, it's a lot of fun, but I don't see a problem with a graphical update. As long as they keep (most of) the characters and moves, what's the big deal? If you don't like it, keep playing the games they put out ten years ago.
KOF is ugly, but SFIV isn't? The characters are horribly proportioned. Chun Li's legs look like tree trunks and she has huge man hands, not to mention Ryu looks like has downs syndrome when he ultra's...
The sprite comes from how she looked in the original Psycho Soldier game. Apparently, fans of that game have been asking for the return of this look for a while.
What you'll think is even more screwed up is that they had an official drawing of a more realistic Athena but SNK scrapped it. I don't mind her XII design though. Looks like the original Psycho Soldier game.
there are alot of 3d games out there.. maximum impact is 3d.. but KOF XII is giving 2d a chance.. this could mean that SNK could be working on all of their games.. like metal slug and stuff.. having better graphics.. get the picture? maybe they'll work more on this on the next KOF.. after all these are all hand drawn.. give SNK a chance..
i know for a fact that there working on a new samurai showdown but i hope there coming out with a new kof i like this one gameplay wise but if they just add a story and a few for things it would be amazing
A Samurai Showdown, one of the fighters forgotten. I would love to see updates of Samurai Showdown, Darkstalkers, and Last Blade, but I doubt it will happen.
I agree because that 3-D Samurai Showdown coming out looks like crap. A new and updated Vampire/Darkstalkers game would be awesome. And everyone wants Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Capcom vs. SNK 3. I guess we will never get Marvel vs. DC vs. Capcom or simply Marvel vs. DC for that matter. I want a Samurai Shodown game with graphics like Blazblue.
they cancelled it because this game sold like crap. no joke. Its straight because the game looked like it was Battle Arena Toshinden with HD Down Syndrome.
huh..? I don't think so at all, the windows for combos are way wider in BB. frankly darkstalklers is a very glitzy interface for a game not much more advanced than SSF2HDR. no bursting, no faultless defense, canceling means finding moves that will actually cancel into one another (limiting combos). no to mention BB, like GG feels like you have to punish with combos cause they're easy and high damage, where in DS, combos are tricky timing and pale compared to a super's strength.
@DoberZeke Didn't a new Samurai Showdown just come out like a little over a year ago that got aweful reviews? This game looks so sick though. I need to buy it now. I love how SNK still does the zoom in zoom out stuff. That was always one of my favorite parts of their games, and I liked how Killer Instinct(Rare) took a page from them on that one. Now that's a game I'd love to see a rehash of as well. Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka Killer Combo! :D Even just an arcade version on systems that can run it.
Been a fan of The King Of Fighters franchise for many years. I thoroughly enjoy The King Of Fighters XII. I bought it for PS3. With some of the stellar and quite stunning backgrounds in the game, one does wonder why they didn't make more than just 6 background stages. That is my main gripe. 6 background stages is unacceptable; come on SNK. My other gripe is WHERE ARE MAI AND YURI? How can you have a King Of Fighters game without them? Mai would have added glamor to the game and Yuri energy.
That's true. Another Problem with this game is that there's no Final boss, which is a huge disappointment. Usually the KOF brand have cheap final bosses but here, it just spoil things.
So true. It was always nice to have a final boss in the games; even if some of them were cheap. They could have even created a new boss or an upgraded one. How about "Psycho Omega Rugal" or "Maximum Iori" or something? Geez.
IM kinda like the guy on the left and everyone i play is always like the guy on the right.... i get my ass kicked everytime... Ive got 200 game points on KOF xii (from 20 losses XD)
AHHH ! I wasn't sure because of the shading. Seemed to blend in so well that it was hard to tell. Yup. SNK may not have invented the fighter but they sure as hell mastered it.
The game underwent a complete graphical overhaul, confirmed by Nona, artist in charge of the art in the The King of Fighters XI endings. All the sprites used in previous games for over 10 years were dropped and replaced with new high definition sprites. The programmers have stated their intention is to create the "ultimate 2D fighting game".[19] It was later revealed at AOU 2008 that KOF XII would use newly-drawn 2D sprites on detailed 2D backgrounds.
Producer Masaaki Kukino informed Kotaku that the game is one hundred percent hand drawn, there being zero cel shading in the game.[21] The renewals for the sprites were made due to negative reaction from the remake from The King of Fighters '94; the staff came to the conclusion that they had to make new sprites instead of basing them from old versions as they used to make in previous games.
That Terry was almost perfect but even if he was a great player you can see him struggling with some moves and thats something i notice of the game there are times that absolute perfection is needed to do some moves specially the super moves hard to chain with combos.
This game is awesome by the way even with all its flaws
i was hoping the kim player would do good and show some nice techniques cause right now i don't think kim is working with much, unfortunately. i know they nerfed his move list and shit, but i heard some people saying his damage sucks, but i disagree with the latter. matter fact, i'm gonna practice with him right now and see what it do
if you haven't played it how can you compare it to SFIV? and how is the combo system crappy? it's pretty much SFII with the focus shit which is tight. kof XII has a more simpler fighting system, but i think that's because of the fast pace of the game. i have always thought that the timing in SF is stricter, making it a tad harder, so if you can't handle it right don't talk shit about it. and no hating on kof, i have it and love it as well.
andy's...whatever it's called, the HCF+K. i know we all love the hk one cause you can cancel it and combo or mix-up...that combo he did at about 2:41 where he cancels into the DP thing, i found out it does more damage if you do the lk without the cancel. the hk is good in corners when you combo from a blowback attack - all the hits will connect and you can still get a lp DP when you land! bitch!
This looks awesome. I can't wait to buy this game. I hear it's gonna come out sometime before the second coming of Christ! But because we're dealing with SNK/Delaymore, you never really know.
well on 1 of the japanese videos of the game, there was a playstation store option in the main menu. chances are, we could get downloadable characters real soon.
hehe that's why the SF story gets the comment "and the story is, well... what are you gonna do lol"
it does hurt me though that the last good street fighter movie (imo) was street fighter turbo the movie - the fatal fury movies, rocked tho - an actual king of fighters movie would be solid gold.
I'll just say that i do enjoy playing SF 4, i like the gameplay and the story is, well... what are you gonna do lol
But KoF has always been a solid fighter with solid lineups and good story - i'm damn glad they are letting me play the latest KoF on 360. Sidenote, KoF also has better animated flicks/shorts than SF, watch the new KoF anime shorts (One More Day or something) and compare it to the SF 4 "movie". Sorry, SF - you got pwned.
The 6 episodes were from another day and it fills in the story for maximum impact 2/2006
And if you notice the fight scenes look like they came out the game which is how is should be and take a look at samurai showdown,art of fighting and fatal fury OVAs there all bad ass snk knows how to make good anime and fucking wicked games and art
Nothing has changed since I seen a SF game plus the garbage storyline but ppl want to bash KOF why. SF fans feel that they know that SNK got a better storyline and better character lineup so to say SF been out since SF1 which sucked then SF2 SFA then SF3 and SF4 which the storyline was all scramble up and BS.
it looks like they are on mars...besides that ive never played king of fighter but THIS looks pretty interesting almost better than street fighter 4 but i have not played it ever so...i dunno
All the fighting games i've played and all the companies that made the games i've played the only actual company that puts out is snk playmore Samsho,kof,spin offs,revives,collections snk has never really disappointed their fan's which i'm really happy too be
Capcom never been good are ending series or making sensible story line without bring someone who dead back. I 100% that people need to break free from the Capcom curse.
Man agreed with you ok SF was a flipflopped storyline since SF1, then SF2, SFA which is SF1 remake ???, then SF3 which suppose to be the next future of SF what they do they make SF4 which its SF2 all over again in 3D WTF!!! Capcom yall losing ideas with your SF games. So the same about the Capcom Curse.
If you played kof 11 you would know why iori has no flame now cause ash took it from him to revive orochi since he's the only actual one that has the blood
The story is important in kof so you know who will be in the next one because people die in the series
You is a moron and thats why your ass don't know how Iori lose his powers. You will be the first person out of the bunch and say IORI SUCKS he don't have his purple flame man. So to say ppl want to know the storyline also look at SF4 a flip floppped storyline from 3rd Strike so its SF2 all over again.
dont care if i want a good plot i would play an story driven game or read a book if i just want to have fun with friends or train for a tournament i would play kof or sf because i play both
XII makes XII look like a beta test.

The grafics looks great.
The Combo system seems fairly easy (not like SF4's crappy combo system)
The moves are the same (I think)
I don't have this game, but I dunno why they keep complaining about how bad this KOF is...

It's because of how bad the Netcode for Online play is, compared to SF4's. That's what killed this game, not the controls or gameplay.
If only the netcode was better...

if you haven't played it how can you compare it to SFIV? and how is the combo system crappy? it's pretty much SFII with the focus shit which is tight. kof XII has a more simpler fighting system, but i think that's because of the fast pace of the game. i have always thought that the timing in SF is stricter, making it a tad harder, so if you can't handle it right don't talk shit about it. and no hating on kof, i have it and love it as well.

Ya, you're right (:
No hating on KOF, or SFIV. I know they're different games...
But for god's sake, if you're going to put a combo system, please at least make it possible to connect 2 TWO! hits in a row...
That's why the online "experience" is full of Hadouken'ers and Yoga fire'ers...
SALUDOS!

andy's...whatever it's called, the HCF+K. i know we all love the hk one cause you can cancel it and combo or mix-up...that combo he did at about 2:41 where he cancels into the DP thing, i found out it does more damage if you do the lk without the cancel. the hk is good in corners when you combo from a blowback attack - all the hits will connect and you can still get a lp DP when you land! bitch!

hehe that's why the SF story gets the comment "and the story is, well... what are you gonna do lol"
it does hurt me though that the last good street fighter movie (imo) was street fighter turbo the movie - the fatal fury movies, rocked tho - an actual king of fighters movie would be solid gold.

I'll just say that i do enjoy playing SF 4, i like the gameplay and the story is, well... what are you gonna do lol
But KoF has always been a solid fighter with solid lineups and good story - i'm damn glad they are letting me play the latest KoF on 360. Sidenote, KoF also has better animated flicks/shorts than SF, watch the new KoF anime shorts (One More Day or something) and compare it to the SF 4 "movie". Sorry, SF - you got pwned.

The 6 episodes were from another day and it fills in the story for maximum impact 2/2006

Regarding the Art of Fighting movie, I think you accidentally tacked on the "ass" after "bad".

Nothing has changed since I seen a SF game plus the garbage storyline but ppl want to bash KOF why. SF fans feel that they know that SNK got a better storyline and better character lineup so to say SF been out since SF1 which sucked then SF2 SFA then SF3 and SF4 which the storyline was all scramble up and BS.

If you played kof 11 you would know why iori has no flame now cause ash took it from him to revive orochi since he's the only actual one that has the blood
The story is important in kof so you know who will be in the next one because people die in the series
Inless it's a spin off or dream match
kyuubiflame 2 years ago
You is a moron and thats why your ass don't know how Iori lose his powers. You will be the first person out of the bunch and say IORI SUCKS he don't have his purple flame man. So to say ppl want to know the storyline also look at SF4 a flip floppped storyline from 3rd Strike so its SF2 all over again.
