Gotta have taunts. Little things like that give KoF the personality that I hope isn't missing again.

Finished! I'm going to upload them to Viddler in case anyone else has an issue like me at all (doubtful, but more options are better, after all).
Links to the old Youtube gameplay videos in case anyone wanted them:

Thanks again, Frankfurt!
It's much much faster than what I had originally thought. And Mai looks very speedy, appropriately as a ninja.
Nope, the new system its pretty much like a buffed up version of '02 cancel system.haunts said:
Im not complaining though. ^__^

Phew!
Just woke up and have been catching up in this thread the last hour. All I can say is "Hello, old friend, I've missed you! You're looking good!"
SvC-esque intros? New characters? More robust gameplay? I'm sold! Day one here! I really REALLY hope this will be the game that will FINALLY shut up the critics ("KoF's a waste of time because of its outdated graphics")
Now if we can just get some direct feed footage. There's a sad lack of Yuri too.

King has a bowl cut. Makes her head look huge. Nevermind...just saw the higher-res screens. She looks fine.
Yuri looks like a loli like Athena.
Mai just looks strange in her neutral stance...weighed down.
Cheesy fire sprites are still in. :lol
Gameplay is already looking better than XII though!

I think I can safely deal with the crappy netcode as long as there are more than three stages this time now that Mai is in
One important, sobering bit of info - Neithan, the french dude that took the huge pics, says when asked about it, the producer said if this game fails, KOF is over.
I wonder if anyone can confirm that.
Not that surprising, since they cancelled three games after XII, and Nona had previously said XII was the most expensive 2D fighter ever...

It looks like the SNKP guys said that if this KOF fails, there will be no more KOF.
Make or break.

EDIT:Ha, just posted the same as frankfurt.
EDIT2: I really hope they're talking about Arcade, i think that its going to be a hit.
EDIT3: No more KOF huh? Ill quit gaming that same day.

That's from the video or some other info source?
I didn't notice anything new for Clark. FX for moves are for the ex versions. Joe looks beyond top tier. He destroys. Hyper mode is awesome.
Benimaru has the same 3 kick combo like in 12. His normal flashkick seems faster thou.
I'm mad that they still didn't add close move animations. Lazy. Backgrounds again look like us cartoons from the 50-ties.
Still impressed by the game. Nice system. Kyo's Air Orochinagi looks just awesome.

Yeah, KOF games are sure few and far between. I'm not too worried if this flops, I'm sure Sky Stage will be a smash.
Fersis said:
:lol Don't overreact.
If SNKP end up bombing,I am sure that Capcom would be the first to pick them up.
There's money to be made from Capcom vs SNK (it's probably the vs serie with the most potential).Not only that,Capcom is far better at marketing than before and they could probably put KOF over in the west.KOF would probably change in term of appearance and gameplay somewhat,but we wouldn't get another KOF XII disaster.
I know that I want to see SNK characters in the IV engine at least once.
Would love to see how they transition with cinematic super or whatever.

All those things cost money and that's what's SNK probably run out off by now.
Beta or not, more ppl should've bought XII then just whine. I whined a bit, but I bought it. It was one of 3 games I ever imported.
I'm afraid that if some super good players will find infinites in arcade version, then peeps will still whine and not buy the home version. "Why would I buy broken game?". Then kof is finished.
It's impossible for it to fail now, it has Mai! And we all know loads of people are willing to spend money to drool over her.
Anyway, nice to see goo upclose screens, and get a good look at the character artworks. The color selections look great, and seeing shirtless Benimaru + 2 toned outfit Raiden makes me hope all characters will have similiar tricks towards "unique" looks.
Good to see some remnants of XII's gameplay, like Joe's ability to combo so well with his command normals. Good to see Golden Heel back, too, as well as his Combo DM. Didn't get to learn much from the Clark showing, but hopefully that'll be resolved soon. King's sprite looks pretty good up close, I might not prefer her that skinny, but I think it fits the style, and I'm not one who'se afraid of change! Her face still looks sharp and mature, so at least it preserves her character.
Animation looks alot sharper in these newer vids than those first Youtube ones, which is no suprise. The SVC-like cinematics are very cool, as well.
EX moves look fun, looks a lot like 2002 stuff. Not my pref, but can easily live with it! If this game has a gameplay system that gives more modern KoF fans a reason to move on from 2k2UM, then great.
There's so many Kyokugen team members possible in this game now, wonder what the chances are of seeing Kasumi and Eiji? Don't care that much for Malin, but if her inclusion would bring back the Anti-Kyokugen team, then that'd be liveable, especially if they did a good redesign.

Not to be annoying but already being, you're implying all SNK fans like Capcom's versions.
Speaking for myself, i didn't enjoy the way any of the SNK characters played in CVS, and would definetly like even less to see them in the SF IV engine, because then not even the graphics would be enjoyable.
What is a "success" to SNKP? What are they realistically aiming for? Breaking even or some lofty goal like SFIV level of sales?
P.S - I've always preferred how Capcom handled the SNK characters in the CvS games. I did enjoy how the characters felt based on the KOFXII demo though.

They want a place on the arcade business.No_Style said:
Thats why XIII has 02 systems, because 02 is really popular. And 02UM still charts on Arcadia monthly Top 10.
XIII has at least 30 characters, thats a nice number (to be a competitive KOF) if you ask me.

Did they scale down the character models compared to the previous game?
True true, if they want to sell better than XII they have to sell a complete package and not a prototype.GuardianE said:
From what we've seen of XIII they're on the right track and that makes me so damn happy.
There's no zoom in anymore.black_vegeta said:
Looks like the characters are just at 100% zoom, where as before, their default was 200%.
Just take a look at them on the Dot Gallery (I hope they do one of these for XIII):

To be fair, SNK didn't exactly handle KOFXII with the most panache, care, or money it deserved when it came to development.
It was the reveals and reviews that ultimately turned the game off for a lot of would be buyers. I know that I was all set to pre-order until I read what I'd be getting.

I'll wait for character announcements to get REALLY excited. The Elisabeth bonus got me last time, and Yuri's a great start. I wish them luck. There's been no word about a quick arcade->home turnaround, has there?
Because they're going to make The Last Blade 3, right?
...Oh, you mean they're done with fighting games. Oh. *weeps*
