vice looks real neat, but shes the closest to another sprite so far, mature.

I figured as much, he's still clearly ripped as hell as his art shows. I still think his gi is too big though, they could have made it more fitted. But I like his stance, it fits his intense attitude.GrayFoxPL said:
I'm liking the tanned skin for Vice too, it makes her red hair pop more. Though I'm surprised she doesn't have some sort of disfigurement like Mature. (At least that we can see.)

They've worked in a drinking mechanic for Chin too it seems.

Some of the team themes on the web site are different now and they've changed the color of Athena's default outfit. (Art too.)

Looks awesome!
BTW, am i the only one who thinks Ryo's mouth animation could do with a bit of work? It just stands out as a flicker of no significance compared to everything else which is sublime.

Same here. I'm getting that SNK "old school" vibe. Let's see how the music holds up.Augemitbutter said:

NEW STAGE!
That one looks awesome!
Fuck! Briliant! SNK is back!
I love it.
I don't like Takuma Kabuki stance. First they gave shitty stance to Ryo in KOF 96. They fixed it back in XII and now Takuma's stance got fucked instead.
Vice looks like a headswap. If she has new animation then no biggie.
Neo Max looks like it needs to be dreamcanceled in hyperdrive.

Ok Fersis, if you ever get the chance to ask SNK stuff, here's a couple of things I want to now know.
Why is it a couple of chars, such as Vice, only got one super while the rest of the cast got two?
Secondly, why was Tak's Zanretsuken f,b,f+P instead of HCB+p like it was in KOF95? Would have avoided a move overlap with Haohshoken.
That first one is a strong nitpick- the second not so much- especially if Tak has his autoguard punch in the game as an unlisted move.
I do like how Takuma's sprite looks old and different from Ryo/Robert.
Vice's sprite- eh. BTW I think Mature's eyepatch is just a fashion accessory- doubt she actually needs it- it's a Japanese fetish. At least Vice doesn't look like a loli/moeblob/fetish char.
As for Neomax, it seems to be 3 stocks and dream-cancellable. Hopefully the motions aren't stupid.
As for bringing back dead chars- Takuma never died.
Mature and Vice supposedly did- but never was 100% confirmed. The only 100% dead chars are I think CYS, and Rugal. Which is a shame because Orochi CYS team were a really neat concept (not a fan of regular CYS)

So far, stance wise, the only thing Vice shares with Mature are her legs. And even then, the legs have new shading drawn on them, further seperating her from Mature. I bet she'll share some similar normals with Mature, but doesn't really matter, they seem to have unique specials and stances so far.
Going by Takuma's look, there isn't a thing on him that could he shared from Ryo. Not even animations; this is pretty cool. Like a nice Mix of Takuma classic with a bit of Marco/Kushnood. Can't wait to see him in action.
Chin being able to get Drunk, and Yuri getting her Chou Reppa back... Ash got his Chizuru-like Super back from XI, as well.
Notice that Ash's NeoMax is him tapping into Iori's flames, and basically a rip of Iori's old LDM from XI if I remember right.
Vice has a nice tan. Would love it if she still walked with a hunch.
Psycho Soldier team on the main site is a very fresh, new mix. Athena has recolored outfit, and Yuri now has a wink. Other tracks have gotten extended, as well, love the newness in the AoF track.
Very happy with all we've seen this far, tAkuma's new sprite makes him look fierce and unique, Vice is psychotic and hot, as she should be, new stages, fresh music, new moves, new mechanics... it all seems great!

Wow. This is really shaping up nicely, except for the fact that every time I get hype for Super, new KOF info comes around and dampens it a little. :lol
Also noticing one other thing on Neomax- it requires hyperdrive move to perform, in addition to the 3 stocks. Unsure if it requires full hyperdrive to perform.
Ash's only did about 40% off his super. 3 stocks and using your DC for 40% doesn't sound all that good right now. Then again, I'd rather SNK err on the side of caution with these, so I don't mind too much.

Full art for Takuma & Vice:
I hope SNK releases full versions of Athena & Yuri's new art.

I was staring at the gifs for awhile and I don't see anything new drawn on Vices legs. Unless you mean that pseudo self shadowing thing they do. I don't see any new pixels. The top looks samey too. Breasts, cleavage. It's Mature + different stance. I was hoping they'll give Vice a skirt or something to show she isn't a headswap, but oh well.
Yup, this is what KOF12 should have been.GhaleonQ said:
They run out of time and money so they had to release 12 to try to recover some of the funds. (And respect some distribution contracts.)
Now.. SNK its the videogaming branch of Playmore, if XIII fails we wont see anymore big titles coming from them. (Playmore big income comes from pachislots and panchinkos)
That being said: GET HYPE!!!! What a crazy weekend is going to be!
GrayFoxPL said:
Yeah, I mean the self-shadowing. Still much more advanced swaps than say... any form of Ryu and Ken in any non-3D Street Fighter.
Nice tricks for 2D. 2onder what they'll come up with with her pallette... Vice-like Mature and Mature-like Vice have got to be guarenteed... now need a Marco-like Takuma, too...

I'd love Tengu mask on Takuma. Mr. Karate is the best boss character ever.
Too much to draw sadly.
Wonder if Takuma has Ryo's super chest punch.
New music rocks. I didn't want to say it earlier but I only liked the Art of Fighting team music when the site went up. Other felt weak in comparsion. Now the shit is much better! Seems like SNKP read my mind.

Really digging the style for the game outside of the fact there are way too many moeblob faces among the female cast.
