i don't think they could get away with $59.99 this time. their fans will buy it, others will wait for pricecuts.

This looks awesome, you underestimated.
This game is looking more awesome than ssf4 to me right now, but I don't know how good the online will be (not hard to top sf4's). Hyped, glad they made the characters smaller, and added in important characters. The last one not having Mai and more was pretty bad.
I was wondering why people had avatars of King, Mai and such. Awesomness.
"Come on bay-bee" I wonder how the voices will be. I liked the english, I even play sf4 with all english.

You want to watch out for the Canadian $ though. That's been rising a great deal recently, well against the £ at any rate. Not sure about the .

Good Looking. I have something to play with this weekend.
In other news...

Y'all know what to do.
FINALLY! BUSTER WOLF! It's gorgeous!! The circle wave from Terry's fist breaking the "awesome" barrier, the trail of energy left in his wake as he flashes forward, the big energy spark as he connect, and then the Wolf-like forward arching claw of energy as he just lets his power beast forward... Like an amped up verison of the Mark of the Wolves version, SOOOOOO much better than the crappy under animated CVS2 version!
We also get to see Yuri land her Ranbu super for the first time in all these videos, and it's great to see Robert still has the Coat adjustment when doing his Ranbu.
Shen's fully charged punch still crumples like KoF XII's Charge CD stun. With Charge CD apparently being gone, this could make that kinda crumple mid-battle a unique attribute to him.
Robert did a nice "anti air hit" -enemy falls away- "fireball juggle" combo, that's very KoF XII like. I liked this element of XII though, so I'm glad to see it. The Idea of AntiAir counter hits leading to such juggles really sends home the idea that jumping in KoF is much different than in Street Fighter.
I just played EX Yuri the other day in 98UM... makes me think I'll rather enjoy XIII's Yuri. She used to be a decent play for me, but learning others over the years, I've ignored her... so it'll be nice to pick her back up in the new game!
BUSTA WULF!!
(Note: My Memory's of Crappy CVS2 Buster Wolf are from the Dreamcast version. After booting up the XBOX version, I can see... it's actually pretty dang good. Still think Athena CVS2 has funny looking formless gumby arms in her stance, but otherwise, the game is pretty great looking. Love Yuri's Makoto-style Intro!)

Wow. SNK looks to really be on it this time.

Y'know how arstal keeps saying how he thinks the ranged game was weaker in XII than other KoFs? I think they're trying to make up for that. Also think that's why EX moves, like Sie Kensou's "Super fast and pierces through other fireballs!" ability exist.
It's like they're trying to bring their own unique spin to fireball wars, in new ways.
Plus, s slower Fireball + Robert's Hien Shippu Kyaku seems to have more control of overall screen space, where as a fast one is good for full screen fighting, but much easier to roll on reaction when in close, since his windup is fairly obvious.

-salute- Ok then Captain, All ready to board the S.S.SNK-P Hype Shuttle!
I really am not hoping for any GGPO-related news until final cast and such is unveiled. How in the world would that help the arcade release? Y'know, unless they announced Cross-Arcade GGPO play.
We WANT them to concentrate on Arcade first, and then Console release after letting the game find it's legs, right? There's much more system, content, and initial release concerns to worry about, first.
Now, once it's out in arcades, and gets at least a month or 2 out, I wouldn't mind a few strategic "leaks" leading up to the reveal of GGPO/BB-caliber netcode.

Awesome. Even if not, it hopefully won't be too much later than that.Fersis said:

Awesome video, first time I see someone nailing King Super that often, but I can see now the cross over properties of it, damn it might be annoying in good hands, well we can just ROLL out thought.
Fersis said:
Well they will update their site and blog on Thrusday, most likely just add another team story and if we are lucky one of the unannounced characters, which I doubt that will happen atm. Since they will save that for the Loke Test.
EDIT: Since I don't want to double post, here is the translation of PART 2 of Ash story:

Dunno if you guys wanted me to post it directly here, but I might have to do some edits since GAF doesn't allow colors in text.

King's Surprise Rose is pretty awesome; sometimes I do it on random and it (surprisingly) connects.
I would still recommand dropping that habit. It doesn't work in the long run.
One thing I do wonder about with drive cancels and the amount of super meter I've seen in the vids is that the game ends up with a MI-style vibe. I don't know if that would be a good or bad thing though.
Fersis said:
But that is why you say it as a "RUMOR", so you won't be blame for saying lies. Besides its not like it will do or break the hype, now will it? lol
At least it will keep us looking for something that might not come, which is not rare coming from SNK. :lol
*looks at KOF2002UM and KOF:MIA* =(
Fersis said:
Yeah I know I could import it, but then I will have to buy a PS2 and mod it so I can play import games. =/
Right now money is tight, but I really which there was a PSN ver, that way I wouldn't have to deal with the 360 dpad.
But oh well, it seems I wasn't able to make you spill the beans. :lol
JGAF could you translate that bit about the NeoMax mode?
When the website went online i found some pngs referencing NeoMax mode, no one cared... as you see NeoMax could be the gameplay mechanic they've been talking about on the Q&A session.
PSN Releases of XI,98UM,GAROU and 02UM would be the most awesome thing ever.-DarKaoZ- said:
By the way that NeoMAX thing is not the awesome thingy im talkin' about.
