The King Of Fighters XIII Hype

Heh seems I'm kinda late, coz most of the stuff has been posted :p

I'm terribly sorry as I was unable to take pictures during the presentation (unless u want pics of a girl cosplaying as Mai there :p )

I'll try to list the stuff that hasn't been mentioned yet...

- KOFXIII will be the climax of the Ash saga.
- The intro show's him, Rose & I could've swear ppl that wore clothes like Zero from KOF2000.
- I think there will be a total of 9 new characters, 3 which are revealed as the Women's Team (Mai, Yuri & King).
- As u can see, Mai is in her Real Bout oufit I think.
- Her fighting stance is like a very exaggerated pose from her official art from KOF2000.
- She has a new VA (Koshimizu Ami). The presenters commented that her voice sounds very sexy when she does her "Kachou-sen!" fan throw :D
- Yuri's sprite looks very cute.
- The character order selection screen's music is the same as KOFXI (probably just a placeholder).
- 4 new stages shown (1 is the jungle stage mysteriously removed from KOFXII). They also said that there will be more new stages.
- The sousai & critical combo system seems to have been removed.
- There is also no longer the zooming in & out camera effect (the camera seemed to be zoomed out now).
- The speed seems to have been increased.
- In short, the game feels more like classic KOF than the slower paced KOFXII.

What part of that video confirms a story mode? I don't speak Japanese so unless they mentioned it all you really saw was the flashy arcade intro so you are jumping the gun BIG time. :lol

You don't need to know Japanese, its written in English text "CLIMAX TO ASH SAGA" like at sec 8. :lol

EDIT: Finaika just confirmed what I just said. :lol

BTW thanks for the info Finaika!

Thank the lord. I hated the system in XII. Glad to hear everything going back to the way KOF was meant to be.

I wonder who will bring it over to N.A console. Will Ignition USA do it again?
Ignition says no until SNKP delivers a good online.

i am sooooooooooooo excited but sooooooooooo angry

did they take the zoom feature out? fuck all those pixel haters. It was spectacular.
Only 4 new stages is low, hope it is just because this is the first time the game is shown.
Great new characters :)

Maybe there will be an option for fixed or zooming camera? It didn't bother me in the first game either and I felt it added to the intensity of the fight. (edit: or not)

Yeah thanks Finaika, because I watched the vid twice again and the screen goes way too bright and white at :08 with just Climax of The... and you can't see the rest. That's why I was thinking you were grasping at straws lol.

Great to see story, King, more new stages, more new characters. Now we just need in a few months confirmation of a NA release with near perfect net code as well as Rock Howard.

Rock
FUCKING
Howard.

I would go down on all of SNK dev team if they can get the net code and Rock in there.

Alright, I'm now hyped for this. Just give me my Kula! Everything else answers most of my wishes: Mai, no zoom-in, story, buster wolf (unconfirmed)?!

Oh oh oh, I'm definitely feeling it, SNK. :D

It was hideous. I'm so glad it's gone.

DO you even really need to ask this question?
 
I turned on XII to compare the zoomed out in that game to what we see here and it looks to be exactly the same size. I felt the characters looked a bit small in the videos, but it looks great on my tv. Might kinda like the zooming being gone? Hmm.

Wow thats some fast gameplay & I like what im seeing but they'll need to do more than that to have my complete pledge.

1 player story mode
lots of characters (Alba, Rock Howard, Orochi Team, k9999, Kain, Krauser)
perfect net code

nvm, the image is already on the official website. :p

So far it looks like a proper full game. I'm definitely interested.

My purchase will depend completely on the net code. Unlike Tekken and Street Fighter, there is NOBODY here in Ottawa who plays KOF. Would've been a different story if I was in Pakistan or South America.

EDIT: No! Ralf still looks retarded. Why you gotta screw my main SNK! Ah well, I'll just suck it up since you guys were nice enough to include King.

They don't look like anyone known.

Edit. So late.

First guy is Ash, but most likely "DARK ASH", well that was the prototype name for the character. The 2nd one, might be related to the Dragon Saga thing.
 
Would anyone be upset if Yamazaki was on Iori's team instead of Vice? I like Vice, but assuming Mature has a fleshed out move list this time I'll be happy with her.

Guys you have to check those screenshots, crazy beautiful stuff there.
Yuti has short hair now.

what are the odds they'll add new characters instead of having a returning roster again?
do people even want new characters?

Hell yes I do!

The art of Ralf and Clark is waaayy less hulky than the art from XII, but I guess the sprites will remain the same.

No K' for now, but there's always the console characters!
The blurry pic was fake then? Goddamn it!

Still looks awesome though. I feel terrible about not getting XII : (.

Fersis... I need to help you make the KOFXIII official thread, I really want to do some of my photoshop work for KOF! (My last contribution was Resonance of Fate Official Thread)
Too soon to talk about the official thread.
I need to see more of the UI to start making it. (I like to use the game UI style on the OTs ,check BCBF2 and KOFXII official threads)

Dude, don't feel bad for not getting raped. I mean I had fun with XII, but this is what you were waiting for! I hope K' is in too. I think he's too popular to be ignored this time around.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Not really a fan of the camera being so far back, nor how super chibi some of the females look ... but yeah, seems good.

I want new characters even more than returning ones.
It looks like there's a new team.

Yeah, but as bare-bones the game is, I kinda wish I had shown some support.

And I hope he does make it in.

I will sex anyone in here if they can muster up a good King avatar for me to use from her KoF13 look. I have no photoshop or else I'd be all over it. :D
