Given how Japanese arcades are now past peak, netcode has got to be a priority. I think SNK will get it at least somewhat right now- I don't think we're getting GGPO, but I think we'll something decent.
I just hope this series isn't pernamently tarnished.
I'll be surprised if new arcade games are being made 10 years from now.

Doubt they will use GGPO. I'll be happy if it's as good as BlazBlue's netcode if not better. SFIV's netcode isn't bad, it's playable, but I think the Japanese devs got too much pride and ego to use something else.

I think there was some bad blood from the last title, but is there really a reputation for KOF in the U.S. It's not like SF or Mortal Kombat, where they've had toys, movies, comics, etc (SF had the 1994 Movie, 2009 Movie, the U.S. cartoon, two different comic lines, one by Malibu, the other by Udon, the Hasbro toys, Sota, Resauraus toys, even a snuggle).

We know about it as gaming nerds but who knows if they know about it. Or whether they would be apt to use it. Besides Final Fight and emulation, has anything else used GGPO?

The game looks great so far and Mai is as booby-licious as ever. The only thing that is missing for me is Rock Howard. I haven't really been following the specifics of the game in terms of timeline/story... Is it possible they'll have him in the game? My favorite SNK trio has always been Terry/Rock/Mai.
In celebration of how awesome this is sounding, I've had this on repeat
OOOOOOOOOOOOH OOOOOH OOOH AAAAANGEEEEL!!!

Damn! What a thing to wake up to. K' Stealth confirm, amazing music, a good look at the new characters' animation. Hyyyyyype!
where are you guys getting the stage images though?
And damn, I hope K's team has Kula. I don't care about the third member (though Maxima would look cool and is most likely), I just want Kula. KULAAAAA!

Anyone who ever speaks negative on the song, or movie, deserves to meet Yamazaki in a dark alleyway.
I like the OVA's too, though they were definitely of different quality. But they set up the wonderfully tragic "every girl Terry gets close to, ends up dead" belief, which always seemed like the only believeable reason why Mary and Terry never got together...

Yeah, it's definitely a weird thing to backtrack with, I ended up like that as well. I'm good at keeping things in perspective though, so it wasn't too suprising.
They also had "Master Tung" dying in stance, while teaching Terry a new DM! One thing I'm glad doesn't appear to be canon... even if it was a cool death...

The last game was really bad.
Chin was totally gimped beyond useless. And some of the character changes might've worked out with a larger roster, and greater attention to balance. While I would typically be a biased Joe player, he was horrifically over-powered, almost to the point of parody.

boutrosinit said:
Wrong nope uh uh incorrect, lol. Chin was quite effective. He could land super off of dang near everything, his command parries gave him free counter hits, he had a decent rush string, a small, harder to hit body, and the strength of his d,d+P -> P blows was fantastic. Not to mention a very nice overhead that he could also combo out of. He could also beast in a corner, almost as effectively as Leona.
He didn't play exactly like Old Chin, but he was one of the most throughly put together characters in the entire game.
I remember reading the opinions on Joe back when the game came out. Half the camp found him OP, the other half didn't find him anyway near that good. His corner infinate was pretty stupid, yes, and Tiger Kick and slides were nice, but I think Kyo and (suprisingly to some degree) Iori was generally though to be better than him.
Heck, here's an arcadia tier list:
Game was pretty well balanced except for those who lacked moves. The smaller roster helped it be one of the better balanced non-UM KoFs.

Ahhh, Masami Obari. A very odd style, sure, but I like unique anime/manga styles. I'm suprised he doesn't get more hate, though, lol... has he done anything in recent years?

Grabbed the SWF file directly from the website, used a program to save every frame in independent gif files, used photoshop to animate the frames in one single file, exported to gif, used another program to make it loop and adjust the speed.

It was okay. I mostly didn't care for how "plain" the art looked. While the animation sucked in comparison to 98's Anime intro (it's so laughably bad in a couple parts), I loved the art style from the KoF 94 Rebout intro
Speaking of the FF TMP (I still need to pick that up sometime, I've got the OVAs on DVD), maybe it's just me, but does anyone else see a small resemblance between the Gaudemaus siblings and the Bernstein siblings, only reversed (the sister is the power crazy one, and the brother is the mellow, honorable one)
Ohhhhh oh, oh Angel!
Come greet the dawn, it's a brand new day!
Ohhhh oh, oh Angel!
Let burn the passion that fires your soul!!
Each lonely night I get through without you becomes my victory
Each empty night I fight against the light that is my destiny
Yet, I know that having might don't mean you're right
I can't be both cruel and kind!
When nothing makes sense I look up at the clouds in the sky
They don't answer but I still ask why...
Stand tall, you won't fall!
Even a wolf gets away
Now and then run into the sun
Sharpen your claws, bare your fangs and go on!
Run your own race--why go for second place?
Go on and grab a star!
You can survive. You gotta stay alive!
Heaven is not that far.
When you're on the edge you pledge to live just for today
Ain't no sense livin' in the past!
Look ahead and you'll see that tomorrow has already come
Time heals all wounds and love does go on!
Stand tall, you won't fall!
Courage! You stumble and then
So that you run into the sun
Seek out those songs which have not yet been sung!
People do fall in love
Though they may swear that the pain won't let go forevermore
I'll burn the flame of your dreams in my soul
Ohhh oh, oh Angel!!
Come greet the dawn, it's a brand new day!
Ohhh oh, oh Angel!!
Let burn the passion that fires your soul!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, no Chang no Choi no sale.
If K is going to be here (which has no part in the storyline), they better put Alba in who is infinitely way more cooler & bad ass than K.

How would K' being in the game have no place in the storyline? He had the confrontation with Mukai in 03 that gnawed at him even after the tournament and then in XI his team was on the boat when the 2 TFTP members showed up to steal Makagi's body. I think him working with Ikari to get to the bottom of all this is more than reason enough to be involved in the story.
Also random OT: Has there been ANY news yet on that KoF Online beat-em-up? All this XIII news reminded me of that and how much I was looking forward to it (love me some classic co-op beat-em-ups).

Those Falcoon atrocities have no place in the Main KoF story. I really think their crazy designs would clash too much with the 2D KoF characters.
arstal said:
Yeah Blazblue netcode is godly too. I am sure this time SNKP wont mess up the netcode stuff. Its a do or die this time around.
When is Kof2k2um coming on XBLA? I am sure they will test out their new netcode on kof2k2um!! And then iron out whatever issues they find and make it perfect for Kofxiii..i can always hope right? :lol

This. Considering how bad their net code has been on their other games, they need to make sure this one is godly, especially if kof is done for if the game tanks.
Also, Leona needs more juggle in her bubbles...to match the rest of the girls of course.

From all the promo vids it looks like Mai's stamina is incedibly weak. Maybe she's just being played badly, I never expected her to have good stamina, but not as weak as it's looking either. Ah well, I harldy ever play as her anyway.
