Aren't KOF and a lot of other SNK IPs super popular in China? Like wasn't there that Chinese fighting game that was a near ripoff of KOF that eventually got actual KOF fighters for a crossover?
Still, has SNK made anything since KOF 13? Are they on the mono-Pachinko chain? I feel like they've been silent for years. I mean I know there were rumors that they working making a new KOF but we haven't seen ANYTHING.

Apparently KOF97 is China's Street Fighter 2 and is still popular as heck there.
As for games that would interest us, no they haven't done anything like that since XIII.
They did release Metal Slug Defence (F2P mobile) game and that got over 24 million downloads so it has to be one of their most successful games in a long time.
to put this into context, the most watched FG stream of all time is a chinese stream of a KOF 97 tournament last year, which peaked about over 500k simultaneous viewers.

this isn't some big risk purchase, you can bet your fucking ass that KOF is gonna get a PC f2p release of some sort and those guys are gonna get rich beyond all belief with kof 97/98 part 2: now with k' edition
Damn that's impressive.
And yeah, this could definitely turn into something big for them if they play their cards right.

Since Kofxiii they've done nothing but mobile and pachislot, that's rock bottom.

RIP SNK
I'll never forget the you released Metal Slug 3 and Garou in the same year
As long as you don't ask about two button dash, I'm ok with whatever

Never trust Douyu numbers. Sometimes I see a stream with like 5k viewers and there's like 1 comment a minute. That's like impossible.
KOF is popular in China though. There's always like 20 KOF streams for every 3 streams of SF on Douyu. Hell the Evil Ryu player that lost in top 16 started streaming KOF right after the ranking event. He was playing with one hand.

Never stop showing off that pristine mind of yours, vulva!

6 simultaneous buttons is kind of weird.

Congrats Karst!
Get your sleep/independent time now. Also, silent buttons.
Too bad Markman left Madcatz, he can't request the Silent Baby option
request a stick with two additional buttons for side movement imo
I never understood vulva's anti- 2-button dash stance. Like, it's an option, you can just not use it you know lol. It's pretty stupid to be so against something that wouldn't affect you. Are you also that militant against people who use a different control/button layout than you?
Or maybe you're just kidding >_>

My wife would love for me to get silent buttons anyway. She hates fightstick sounds.
I rarely cried as an infant. I am hoping my son follows my footsteps...
I already have 2 buttons I don't use on my sticks. Unless it's Skullgirls. 2-button assist calls is too hard in such a fast-paced game.
Vulva explained before that he has a medical condition that makes him an asshole sometimes. I take it in stride.
"Are you in talks to bringing SFV to Evo?"
Bruh. There will be riots if SFV is not at Evo. Riots.

Make a kickstarter to teach people how to play fighting games while moaning about needing an easier way to dash. ¯\_(ツ_/¯

Maybe I've never been clear on this, but I dash just fine with double tapping. I just think it isn't the best way to dash mechanically, and the superior option should be included. The various posters here that have played my Zato have witnessed me microdash 5-6 times in a row in a 2[P][K] -P- trap series without error, match after match.Make a kickstarter to teach people how to play fighting games while moaning about needing an easier way to dash. ¯\_(ツ
If you have the game, I'll gladly show you in some matches.
I still appreciate his pointed posts nonetheless, they are entertaining.
also this track would fit well in Rising Thunder's soundtrack. (late to this, but a spotify subscription is the best thing I bought in years. YEARS)
oh?

That's different then lol. Still kinda funny though.
And I'll have the game soon so that'd be cool.

Being bought out by a Chinese company could be good for SNK.
Just look at what Tencent did with Riot/League of Legends!

It's some horrible term the anime community uses for when do a tiny dash input into something. Fun fact, you can actually buffer 66 on wake up in Persona then input DP. You get the microdash to scoot you forward and it doesn't actually have any frames to it, you still get frame one DP and blow through meaties.
It makes sense in the context of something unique like that existing, but people just use microdash for any time you do a 66 input that you end up cutting short. All it's supposed to do is scoot you forward a bit while inputting something else.
