Ok, I will have tons of technical questions/explanations. That said, be sure not to let them weasel on netcode.

As a game programmer i have tonz! As a crazy fan millions! (But they dont talk about tech, legal stuff about licesing.)

Dont hate me if SNKP JP says no!!

Yes it is! *jelaous*

But I hope if you have the chance to ask about what they plan to do with their netcode and if they have tried to use GGPO or not. Because their main market (South America and China) use GGPO regularly to play their games in GGPO. So it would be awesome if they do that.

I would also love to see if any developer does what Emulators have done all this time, use the "chat room" system to get in to a fight, I find that more interesting when you get into a server, see a bunch of people on your right and all of them chatting before a match. I kinda miss that sometimes.

Its obvious they will try to avoid questions that might make them look bad, but sometimes its for the best. I do hope they did hear most of the complains that ignition send them.

Technically... KoF XII DID have chatroom lobbies. I tried to use them all the time to tell people "I'm sorry, but if your connection is bad, please leave!!"

.... most just ignored it, went right into the room, and pounded on the "READY!" button....

My suggested asks "The biggest knock on KOFXII over in the West was the quality of the netcode. Many western fans want GGPO, or a Blazblue-quality netcode. What are you guys planning on doing in terms of the netplay? Given how spread out the SNK community is , oftentimes netplay is the only game to get games in."

Yeah, but that is a different system to the one I'm talking.

KOF12 = Server with Player Game list -> Another player enters the "Game" room -> People enter Chat Room Area -> Go to READY Area -> Play Game

GGPO or any other Emulator online system:
Enter Server which directly sends you to a Chat room -> Pick a name from a list of names and ping # -> Enter their room with a small chat -> Play Game

Dunno if I explain myself correctly, but if not, let me do it a simpler way:

12= Server -> Player List/Matchmaking -> Players/Chat room -> Ready Screen -> Play Game

GGPO = Server List -> Chat Room -> Players Room/Ready Screen/Chat Room 2 -> Play Game

I like GGPO style more.

Well, if HWA gets reveal by that time, I would ask "Why the F did HWA get in and not Yamazaki!?" :lol

If this happens, my idea is to get questions from cyberfanatix,orochinagi,SRK? and GAF.


SNKP USA is well aware.

By the way, having SNKP mails on my inbox is awesome. @__@

Great :)

SNK should put you name/nick in the credits for KOFXIII


Only arcade questions? well, that is a bit limited as most of us will only enjoy console versions but i am sure you can ask them interesing stuff :)

Like other arcade projects (samurai/last blade/RealBout/Garou), future characters adn zoom returning to KOF :D

Blazblue has so few players now that half the time you're playing someone from Asia or Europe. Hard to find Americans playing it.

Ahhh, the fine line between games feeling like easy access console games, and clunkier computer games! But yeah, I understand what you mean. It'd definately be a worthwhile mode, though I wouldn't want it all to be like that. Would easily help the community feel more... community like. Would be great for getting a geneal idea for how many people are online, too, which would easily make the game appear much more lively, and would help make the games the "community meeting spot", since it's not like SNKP has a capcom-unity or anything.

I must admit, I'd love it if KoF XIII had an intereactive hub built in that was similiar to the Halo Waypoint.

Well, in Spain you guys might play more KOF then BB, which wasn't released officially in Europe until a few weeks ago.

Toxico from MMCafe, about the storyline interview:

Things that I cared.... And I think I got right, har har. I'm completely skipping parts that didn't get. Needs a grain of salt

They promised a surprise ending that you won't be seeing coming, and that would more or less could be open to each individual interpretation (I think)

They won't talk about Ash true goals just yet.

Ash won't have a team and will remain an edit character.

When speaking about KoF'ISM' they tried to select the cast thinking on both, popular preference and visual impact; and try will try to work on the characters so that they feel as unique as they can.

.... I think he was speaking about liking the idea of doing a suiken character that would turn more and more red the more he drinks... Yeah, that's we know who. I wonder if they'll go for it.

Character text interaction is there to take character representation as further. Working in representing 4 languages or so in the game would have been just too tough, but they are at least trying to carefully work as much as possible in each character identity portrayal (For example, Ash being almost french, Liz being a neesama, etc). The pics are there showing how they didn't choose the most simple keigo structure for the character explained there.

There would be some text interactions that would be something to look forward to, specially those between characters that go a long way story wise. They would also like further explaining some 'unspoken relationships' between some characters (the imaginary example they give would be something like "the conversation between Kanedanagi & Kyo would be something special).

Suiken = Drunken Boxing

For the translation so far (story translation), I think Ash will turn out to be the one who finally destroys Orochi. That will be a "WTF?" moment too.

well, my friends and myself we all play US versions of both KOF and BB, those that were released almost a year ago. We couldn't wait for those games to be released here (like happened with demon's souls too)

Great new vids BTW:)

Fersis if you do get your interview just make sure to not let them give you some PR BS answer on net code. Even if it is arcade only talk they want to do, just twist some nipples to get the idea to them that the game will bomb without GGPO or BB like net code. :lol

As for other questions worth asking I'd probably ask about things like design choices this time around.(Such as King not having her jacket)

Really the meat of the questions I have are not for the arcade version but for the console version. Things like how many stages will they go with, how many online game types, what all can we do offline this time other than a story mode, and a replay channel, etc.

I'd love it to death if for the console version they add a 3vs3 online team mode. Where everyone on your team is controlled by someone. I tend to have a really mean Joe or King game, but my other 2 characters tend to lack, so it'd be fun having 2 other people playing that one character they excel with. It'd be awesome if they did this to say the least. :D

If they give me PR answers there's nothing i can do.
'Dont hate the player hate the game' kind of thing.

Last time i got the email on sunday so... maybe tomorrow we will have an answer.
* Crosses fingers *

EDIT: Mad props to ReXXXsoprano.
EDIT2: Im having some family issues so i wont post too much this weekend but if i have new info ill try to make some time to inform you guys.

i would also like to know it they will allow online classic 1vs1 battles,not only team battles. but that is not arcade related XD

You could also ask about returning characters from Garou and realBout series. :D Or the series coming back too :D

Newest Famitsu has a KOF XIII feature. One guy at SRK says Vice and Takuma are in it. It wouldn't be the 1st time characters were announced in Famitsu right before a loke.

But we can't be sure until scans are provided (not guaranteed they'll show up - it's easy to find 50 different scans of MGS, but KOF scans? good luck!).

K' is still coming, so be happy.

I'm a grumpy bear over no Billy. I could have had my all-time favorite team in a game other then 2k3.

Let's not forget about this game though with all the SSFIV hype. I'll be watching those loketest streams/vids at work next weekend hopefully.

I'm really hoping for a surprise addition of Whip (my favourite character), might not pick this up at full price if she's not included (I skipped last year's version since it was incomplete). I cannot wait for dreammatch KOF done in the new HD engine (though I understand this won't happen unless this game sells well... so I might have to pick it up afterall :lol).

SCANS are out!

Takuma looks fat as fuck but I like it! :lol It's no Ryo headswap.

Kyo's NEO MAX is a flame explosion that go 70% of the screen!

I wouldn't say fat, more stocky/burly. It's hard to tell though since they didn't show his neutral stance. I wish they would have when with his AoF2 look, I think it's the gi that's making him look bigger than he is.

Vice is in the black pants suit as expected. She looks even crazier than usual.
