The King Of Fighters XIII Hype
- Thread starter Fersis
- Start date
Thanks for the 3 new videos. Really liking everything I keep seeing with King. I'm def. using her, Joe, and my third will remain undecided until we have a full character list for a console release, but those two are confirmed.
Also is anyone else having weird problems with youtube past 2 days? I thought it was just me, but I was at a friends house today earlier and it was the same crap for him. The vids seem to get pixelated and unwatchable on the bottom half. It's hard to explain. I also had another weird problem earlier where youtube made all my videos I watched like 3000 feet long in width and 100 feet in height. I couldn't fix it either on Mozilla so I downloaded Google Chrome and it got rid of that weird ratio problem, but now the pixel jacking up bluriness eff up is happening on it too.
(Sorry for the off topic there, but it's really bugging me)

I was let down by XII, not being fooled again for XIII..

The more I"m seeing , the more questions I have (like is the combo into CD into juggle still there?), but the more optimistic I am.
A KOF with at least upper midtier-gameplay+ higher quality graphics is really all I want right now in terms of engine.
I have higher expectations for this then SSFIV right now, and similar expectations with BBCS.
Gotta remember when I say something is dead to me, it's comic book dead.
Don't underestimate the importance of the SBO slot. That can make or break a new fighting game. I think at a minimum this game does well in Japan, maybe SFIV "well". doubt it overtakes BB or Tekken though. US I have doubts on, but I think it will have regional success in the usual SNK hotspots (TX, CA, NC)

:lol What does that means? (I dont read comics)arstal said:

The game mechanics feel like KOF, the movement and jumps feel like KOF. So happy.
31 characters is a KOF worthy size so i dont think thats going to be a problem this time, and you're right the SBO slot is going to help a lot.

Comic books heroes are never "dead" (the popular ones at least), they just kill them for dramatic effect, only to be "resurrected" someway after X time.
I'm in heaven, really, and as guy that don't play fighters online and that kinda enjoyed KOF XII, XIII looks simply perfect, it has almost everything I wanted so far, including an story mode.
I'm a bit puzzled about seeing Mature alive, but meh, whatever, she will probably be a clone or something like that, it´s not the first time SNK uses that trick. I'm just curious about why decided to bring her back, never thought she was popular (I liked her, especially one of her winning poses when she starts howling).
The characters I hope are in, and characters it most likely will be
Kim - Raiden - ? (I'm hoping Billy Kane, but I bet it's Yamazaki)
Ryo - Robert - ? (I hope for Eiji or Lee Pai Long as we have enough Kyogen's, but it's obviously Takuma)
Iori - Mature - ? (I hope it's not Vice but it obviously will be)
? - ? - ? (Hopefully K", Maxima and Whip, but I bet it will be Kula instead of Whip)
Anyways how many new characters all together now, I have counted 8 (am I wrong). Also how many new stages are their going to be.

i don't like what they did to mai, she looks like a total slut now. the juggle is fine and well, but they went too far with the focus to her tits, the pose is just wrong.
Augemitbutter said:
She's always had a slight bend to her pose, it's just a bit more pronounced and stylized here. Quite frankly, after seeing what they did with Athena I was worried they'd try to cover her up. I think they struck a nice enough balance. They didn't keep the ass jiggle HK sweep. :lol
The Mature + intro vid has Mai and Yuri action, too. Forgot to say.

game is looking nice 
Well, XII's was good only lacked polish. I am still angry because of some decisions, i hope if console version is released they can add some options like activating zoom.
As for stages, it would be so easy to just 'redraw' some KOF classic ones instead new ones.
pd. yuri looks small compared to most male characters :/

(List of impressions as watching vids)
WooT! Leona has her close Double Knees back.
Mai already looks pretty solid, she seems to work well with the games system.
Yuri's Look and sound go well enough together. And I love the way they've worked her old tights. instead of just leggings, you can either have her with more of a bikini-like body outfit with leggings that are seperate, or without leggings, like Sakura in SFIV's alt outfit. So she has her "Saiban!" shield-thing, cool.
Mai and Yuri both have air throws. Since Clark was the only one with one before (Raiden's didn't count! it was a command special), this is a fairly big deal. Especially if they let you counter-hit into them like in XII.
WooT! King has trapshot, visual conformation. Hmm, Yuri has some form of dive kick... has she had one before?
So there are at least 2 special KO effects so far, a pretty burst for death by DM, and the screen going all red/gray when final team mate falls, just like Oldschool KoF.
The stage Remixes are gorgeous. So in Egypt, you can either have all the followers in the BG stay bowed the whole time, and then in another round, they'll spring to life and movement again. One variation has lower lights. The other is light enough to see the Pyramid in the background.
Characters seem to have better animation frames when falling to the ground compared to XII. They actually come to a rest, rather than just landing flat. This was a point of annoyance in XII, so glad to see it more fleshed out. Even falling from a weak punch at round end has been fixed up, they don't bounce as awkwardly after the fall on chest, it's a much more traditional final fall.
There also seem to be multiple victory screen artwork per character. I've seen at least 2 for King. This is good to see!
Terry still throws his hat into space in his victory pose, lol. (It never comes back down... not yet anyhow.)
Glad to see such overall refinement in the game; Making new characters up to the level of XII would be one thing, but actually going back and filling out sloppy animations shows that they're looking into not only the surface work, but also the fine details. It's really going to end up looking much more like a traditional KoF, and then some!

What filter are you seeing on these sprites? A smear filter would remove the fine stair-step outlining of the characters. Kim's blurred foot is drawn in motion blur. There is gradient shading on his outfit. All of these things suggest no filter; they suggest that the sprites are displayed at the actual resolution they are created at, with no adjustments.

I like how the camera is zoomed out more.
Stages still look pretty stupid. The characters just don't feel like they're part of the environment around them. Basically it looks like they're standing in front of a green screen.

Naa, that seems to be the activation pose for going into the Hyper mode. Yuri also does such in one of the videos. The cool thing is that they seem to have unique animation/stances for this, so it's much like the startup of V-ISM modes in the Street Fighter Alpha series.
I agree 100% with that guy from SRK.
Im kind of depressed to know that this could be the last KOF, but it looks like SNKP is putting all their effort on XIII.
If this is the last KOF, it will be KOF's swan song.
Really everything they've shown is everything i wanted KOF XII to be.
And theres more to be revealed !
By the way: The india stage is the best stage of all time!

Naw man, there's a slight blur filter on sprites. Maybe you need a new screen.
Compare the edges on Kim to the edges on the HUD.And btw the actual size/resolution of the sprites is much lower than what is shown in gameplay(they're indeed blown up just a bit).
This is this their native resolution

They took away yuri uppercut damn .
Still liking what i am seeing so far .
SNK has to hope that XIII does good in the arcade.
The problem is over the years they add so many characters that people like and when a new KOF comes around they take them away .
I have friend that only play 98um and 2002 um because he plays all the members of the Orochi Team and unless there back in XIII he won't be play it .
Which sucks for SNK but that's how it is. SNK need to kept the character the fans really wanted while add news one.
35 characters is not allot when coming from playing 98um and 2002um.
People are not going to move on if they don't have the character they want to play.
