No Andy bogard?
He may be dlc. I'm not familiar enough with the timeline and lore but he could be dead or doing other shit since this takes place in the later years of KoF franchise. Terry without hat, and Dong Hwan is Kim's student. I think Preecha is also Joe Hagashis student.
 
Okay done with the thread.

Didn't see an OT, so this is just slop I cobbled together for those that wanted to discuss this game.

I highly recommend it for people who want to get into 2D fighters or want something simpler like older titles like Street Fighter 3 or Garou Mark of the Wolves. It's a highly approachable game and easy execution wise.

There's a lot of "systems" I put up top but it's more word diarrhea and actual combat flows simply and is easy to do. It's more about fundamental fighting skills like reads, footsies, and meter management.

There's plenty of SP offline content, a color editor, and solid netcode for those going online.

He's DLC indeed:

Also, KOF and FF don't share the same timeline/reality, this game isn't really set in KOF's future, it's its own separate story.

Damn that is a stacked dlc pass. Glad it came with the game.

Andy looks sick in that art.
 
I really don't know how Ronaldo is going to improve interest in this game but sure as guest characters in games go he's one of the stranger ones so maybe the novelty will sell a few more copies
 
I would've happily bought this even with the 2 worst guest characters ever put to a videogame but they didn't bother fixing the background animation speed despite there being PC and ps5 pro platforms which should easily be able to have all elements on screen updating at 60 fps.

When playing the Beta on Pro that one stage with the train felt God awful due to the 30 fps background. KoF15 also had this problem

Jokes aside though, it looks like the game is really good, but I'll wait a bit to see how long it'll last and then decide wheter I should buy it or not.
 
Garou : MOTW was my favorite 2D fighter back in the day. Still love it.

I am not into fighter that much but still like to be hype for new release and especially this one (basically Garou 2).
But seeing Ronaldo and a real life DJ got me "WTF ?!".

Anyway on Clair Obscur at the moment. Might still take a second hand copy in few months, I don't really want to support inclusion of real life celebrities in my fighting games.

Still the game looks really good. Love the artstyle. Usually not a fan of 3D model in 2D fighters, but here the animation looks to make it dynamic enough

Yes I hate this and wish more people would bring it up so they get the message. I wonder if this was even an intentional style choice and if so it's a bad one. That Terry train stage is where it really becomes off putting.
 
The sentiments for at least the DJ guest character has pretty much completely flipped for the few people that actually are playing, saying he's fun and well animated.

For me it didn't even cross my mind to even have a strong opinion on the guest characters in the first place. So when people were pissed I was surprised. The only thing that came to mind was that it reminded me of the soccer character in Rival Schools.

The DJ guy is even worse than Ronaldo since he's a joke character with a bunch of really silly looking moves
 
Ah nice, another game with day one dlc, and everyone eats it. Season pass barf.
The season pass is free if you pre ordered the game I believe and the game is $60?

Try harder next time.

Yes that's nice. How about season pass 2, 3 and 4 with brand new characters? How about a season pass for all seasons?

I am trying so hard right now, you have no idea.
So this game that barely sells shit like most SNK games, which will have a community of maybe hundreds within a months time, THIS is the game you want to call out?

A game that offered a free season pass which will take a year to fulfill, so lost revenue, when games like tekken 8 or SF6 are charging people out the ass for every single thing possible.

THIS is the game you want to fuck up the thread for that doesn't even have a dozen people who posted about it.

This is the one huh? Please get your head deep out of your ass and fuck off.

My my isn't this a sensitive subject. I shall remove myself indeed and enjoy from the background. Good luck to you.
 
Guy makes ignorant comment, gets corrected, doubles down after being proven wrong by asking that SNK provide free DLC content for 4 years. Like what, lmao.

Anyway game is really fun. For people that actually like fighting games, not tourists who are in it for Yakuza ripoff modes and MCU cutscenes.

It's so damn approachable and the speed is perfect.

So fun to watch too! Feels like watching games from the SF4/SF3 period again.

IMO SNKs best fighter since they ditched 2D.

Yeah it's a real breath of fresh air to play and watch. Which character are you playing?

Also hopefully evo Japan streams it and there are some great sets.

...and this is why I stopped buying fighting games.
Half the game is sold separately and in peaces.

This pass is free for everyone

But I agree for other FGs it sucks to have paid dlc characters shortly after launch.

Rockin that fat Dong right now.

I was going to main Tizoc but the damage he gets isn't beefy enough, plus his range on his spd for both versions is not good…

Naisu. He seems like he has good mixups and pressure.

I'm using Mai. Her neutral seems good but she's got some issues, like even literal broken stuff like her DP coming out too easily. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Yeah my friend was saying tizoc grab range kinda ass, not great for tick throws.

imo one of the biggest things to learn with FGs is when it's your turn to attack and how to stop opponents who jump a lot. Basically how frame data works and anti airing.

In this case that season pass is included in the price of the game. Do fighting games now release with less content than before DLC though? I don't think so. If anything they generally have more with optional DLCs instead of regular sequels. SF2, 3 and 4 all had multiple follow ups you had to buy as new games. KOF used to have an annual release with reused sprites. Tekken used to have 3 new games per console generation.

I fully expect a buff for Tizoc in the coming weeks, you can't just leave him like this. I think he'll end up being high tier as the game evolves over time...or at least a hope.
 
I was a Gato player in Garou, and I will try getting good with him here too.
but I gotta say I wanna get good with Salvatore just for the memes alone
 
Bought the game but just not getting time to play because of work!!! Dangit!! Hopefully will be hopping online with Terry soon!!

Game is fantastic! Post ditching 2d sprites, going from Kof14 to COTW is a really nice progress.
 
Tizoc only low tier and I knew day one Kain would be high tier. Boy has the set ups!

Surprised at Billy, and Terry for once isn't low tier.

Tizoc sucks for so many reasons but his 3 main ones:
-SPD range even on light spd is trash
-SPD damage is cheeks
-Everything he does resets neutral and pushes him away

The guy can't get in and make you guess lol.
 
Played a little bit of this on PS5 and I think I'm already done. Not interesting to play at all like either the last Tekken or Street Fighter games.

I've been so disinterested in fighting games since they all went full on 3D.

This is what it's all about right here
