I hope they improve Mai's NM. The one-frame atacks stands out compared to everyone else's smoothness.

* Waits for Kula to be a K' headswap *

Actually, Ash supposedly had some Kula frames in 2003. I never saved them, but i remember someone at SRK or S-C posting side-by-side comparisons.

K' may have the coolest sprite so far, and that's saying something.

One of my fave chars in the KOF-verse. I'm rooting on you to be the one to kick Ash in the face! :lol

Now, just show me Maxima and Kula...! I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEL it in my BONE GRIZZLE!

Done doing my new K Sprite avatar!

Choppasmith · Apr 30, 2010

Great to see K' back, can't wait to see him in action with his buddies. What do you wanna bet, Kula's taking the longest because they have to add sprites for Diana and maybe Foxy.

I'd rather see them redo Kula without those two. I don't like assist characters all that much.
Kula should be able to fight on her own now anyways.

LowParry · Apr 30, 2010

...K posing like Rock. I miss that guy. Badass though. Hope to see Team K in action soon.

mollipen · Apr 30, 2010

K' looking great. Now just show me a hot Kula sprite, and we'll be talking SNKP.

Oh, but please keep Maxima out of this game and any future sequels, kaythanx.

I would add you, but I'm short on space and most of the people I have are friends or people who I actually play. You can still send me an invite and I would reply if I'm online.

Awesomeness! K' back

EDIT: and He's has the same DM Heat Drive and Chain Drive, I want to see it T.T, his Neo Max too.

-DarKaoZ- · May 1, 2010

Hmm... I wonder if we will see K, Kula and Maxima in this new Loketest, there is one from May 1 to 5 right?

Augemitbutter · May 1, 2010

i don't know naruto, but it's similar in style to older KoF-AoF tracks:

Frankfurt · May 2, 2010

Yeah, that's "old school" early 90's SNK. Not old school Naruto.

Anyway... Rose/Botan/Dark Ash cutscene:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkvi54w21kc

And it's actually animated, thank God. Hate when they announce something is animated and it's actually just a pan over still frames.

I wonder if they have the budget to make the endings animated too.

Yeah, the flute-style sounds are very much like Naruto. Though I have to grin reading "Old School" and "Naruto" together XD. In my Day, we watched MACROSS! -ahem- Anywho... Yeah, the rest of it is just good ole SNK ^_^

There are a lot of parallels in these songs, though... Psycho soldiers have moments that remind me of Megaman, beginning of Women's team remind me of MvC2... I like this, though, it helps make new music feel nostalgic.

Add that atop of the fact that they keep the spirit of the teams older themes too, and you have some pretty slick tracks.

Oh, and the Cutscene... yeah, that's what I'd expect them to look like after KoF XII's mid-arcade mode stuff. It's a very nice look, however, much like old SNK mid-story cinematics, but with more animation, and sharper resolution. Reminds me of the first time I saw the SVC Chaos intro, pushing the neo to it's very limits...

Well I figured saying old school Naruto would get some chuckles, so looks like that worked :lol . Only reason I put that distinction was because the music in the original Naruto anime series to me is vastly different in the current Shippuden stuff.

zlatko · May 2, 2010

That is the best version of K' throughout the whole KoF series as a whole. I can't wait to use my team of K', King, and Joe.

This game keeps getting better and better, bigger and bigger, but the amount of broken hearts will be over 9000 if the net code is junk.

Personally, I live in a small state and town with no arcade or fight scene without going hundreds/thousands of miles away from home. If the online doesn't work, then I can't enjoy it. Please SNK step it up in this department too like you have with everything else and this will be the best fighter this whole generation hands down.

LiK · May 2, 2010

man, catching up on this thread finally. holy crap at all the sprites. Mai looks hawt. BOUNCY BOUNCE! my whining in the KoF12 thread worked :lol

also <3 Yuri and King's return as well. this is win already for me. day 1!!

That is the playlist for every KOF13 vid I've uploaded to YouTube so far. To get caught up watch Parts 53-65 which includes the vids that GrayFoxPL posted earlier. I would've been posting single links sooner but just like the VP the CEO is having some family issues of his own. So get caught up and enjoy.

instead of maxima, i hope whip is on the k' team. i want to see her animations in HD. canon-wise, i think she has a shot to be on the k' team. kind of sad that yamasaki and vanessa didn't make the cut.

jett · May 2, 2010

Is KOFXII worth getting? I know it's barebones and has a broken online mode supposedly, but how about getting on the cheap, for like $20? I find myself playing the demo just looking at the pretty graphics. I also really like how it "feels". Is XIII similar to XII in this aspect?

BTW fuck all of the people that hated on XII's spritework. Now we're stuck with these zoomed-out, blurred-out sprites for XIII. :/

No, no, the sprites are better off zoomed out. They actually look "HD" like that. :lol

Plus, all the KOFs before XII never had sprite zooming like that, and they were awesome (mostly). XII...not so much. Gameplay feels great, but there's so little to do due to the product being unfinished. Plus, the online was awful, loaded with lag and other general annoyances.

I've not played XIII, of course, so I can't really tell you anything about how it "feels" (though I do agree that that was one of the things XII did right), but I can't imagine that SNKP would have done much to change the "feel" of the controls. Let's just hope that SNKP think of us poor Westerners when they plan out the home versions' online structure, as opposed to just saying "Welp, it works fine in Japan with their 1 gigabit connections, should work fine on a 2MB wireless setup" :lol

Oh yeah, and fuck Maxima in the ass with broken glass. Whip FTW.

jett · May 3, 2010

Nah they aren't fooling anyone, they don't look HD anyway, and they're just too small now, even smaller than pre-XII KOFs. And the widescreen aspect makes them appear even smaller. So much empty space now.

I don't care about the sprites' resolution, they pack a lot of detail, have excellent color shading and shadowing, and are awesomely animated. Other than resolution the spritework in KOFXII is so much better than BlazBlue it's not even funny to me. I want to see the pixels in all their glory!

Damn you haters, damn you to hell!

...anyway, I guess I should wait for XIII.

You can get it for $25 off of Amazon. Seems fair to me just for the new visuals.

Frankfurt · May 3, 2010

The sprites look great in their real size and resolution, without filter (only on the select and versus screens, IIRC). 480p sprites on a 720p game:

http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/img/gmw/docs/357/146/html/31.jpg.html

They're tiny, sure, but i would rather have this than the blurry, slightly larger sprites we see in-game:

http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/img/gmw/docs/357/146/html/47.jpg.html

Oh well, it's no bid deal. The console version will most likely have the option to turn filters off, so sligtly more pixelated's not the end of the world.

jett · May 3, 2010

That character select screen is seriously ugly, get some decent graphic designers SNK...
