- SNKP was suppose to show up at E3, with console versions in tow. Was listed on E3 site I hear.
- SNKP disappears from E3 website and convention, no actual console release has been see by anyone outside the company that we know of.
So we know nothing yet. Not how long we'll have to wait, if they're adding anything more, Foreign publishers... none of that.

It seemed to go over well last page, so might as well post that image here, too ^_^
That looks hot. Still hate the use of Times New Roman all over the place but I'll just have to bear it.
Is anyone picking up KOF2002UM Tougeki ver. in 2 days? I preordered it because I don't yet have a copy of 2002 but I haven't been able to find any info about the changes other than general balance alterations. Does anyone know if they've added anything significant over the old UM?

I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer if they decide to add more characters and stuff. I have plenty of fighters these days to last me for a while.

-expecting to see an army of videos that week... XD-
Fuck yeah!
Right as my long summer holidays begin, sweeeeeetttt!
The release date is good and bad at the same time. Bad because Mai's NeoMax still looks like a slideshow. I mean, Athena's has the same concept but it looks much better. Mai's just looks clunky, like a 2002 HSDM that only re-used frames from other moves. They said they would fix it in the blog long ago but they never did. Weird.
Hope Kula's shading is fixed, too.
(By the way, am i the only one that wonders if they ever made a 3D model for Kula? Wouldn't surprise me if they hadn't, Nona gone and all)

wasn't the delay between XII arcade and console only like a month or so?

Would love to have 2002UM, but just waiting for XBLA version here (much cheaper than getting import + JP 360! XD) I keep seeing all over the net that Tougeki Ed. Should have the bosses removed... but the 360 version says it has the balance of the Arcade Version, but the modes and character roster of the PS2 version. So I expect Tougeki to be the same fusion of "best of both worlds", too.
2002UM XBLA will make the wait for XIII much easier, too...

Yeah, I'd love to see some form of Kagero in there. Function, form, can wouldn't be too hard to animate. NGBC version reminds me of a lower priority version of Shining Crystal Bit. Wouldn't complain if it got a slight bit of startup invinsibility, making it quite an awesome counter (probably for EX version).
It's probably all decided now, anyway. Really am guessing the game has pretty much gone Gold now.
Frankfurt said:
In a way, Athena's looks more like a slideshow, minus the glitter. None of her shadows are animated, save for maybe a bit of the "kick" from her XII-like costume, but she has unique animation for summoning/casting down the Princess Athena forms.
Mai has animation on the "Ku" dive, spinning to make the kinda crooked leg of the symbol, on "no" she does a normal Musasabi No Mai, and on "Ichi" she has a unique upside down dive animation that I don't believe you see in any of her other moves in this game (similiar to her LvL 3 startup in NGBC.) Musasabi no Mai has her chest facing away from the screen, this particular animation has her chest facing towards it. It's hard to tell from the old vids (being lower quality) but I think this particular animation MIGHT be new from when the move was first shown in loketest. I'd also like to say her final "NIPPON ICHI!" might be a bit more animated + have more flame effect on her body, but that's also hard to tell.
As far as Kula having a model, sure. She's not really as "2000s trace" as you might think. And if there are any frames where she has self shading, I'm sure the self shadows are mostly generated from the 3D model, so that would support her having one. (Unlike the actual body shadows, the self-shades never have any gradation.)
At this point, I'm rather sure Maxima and Kula's sprites on site are old, compared to even what we've seen in game now. He's gotten color corrections, and she's gotten another layer of shading detail added since.
---
At this point, I think all I'd realistically want is to see Adelheid make a sub-boss appearance, Saiki (the "white Ash") pull the boss role off well (A modified Ash sprite, with a "God Mode" form, perhaps?) and the completion of the arcade mode cinematics. Wouldn't mind if the arcade version got text or single pic team endings, letting them save more complete endings (Normal and Edit Teams!) for console release.
Much celebration at the return of taunts, too ^_^ should be fun stuff to see once people start playing release. People better use those things more!
Wish Arcadia would do an updated Tourney/players guide with final game code, too.

Plenty of time to get solid netcode hashed out I say!
luka said:
I do believe that's it. Some have said it will have "new backgrounds," but I believe that's just going to be the 2D versions of the same stages (the PS2 2002 UM only has 3D backgrounds; the arcade version uses 2D versions of them). I have it pre-ordered to ship alongside BlazBlue Continuum Shift next week, but I may cancel my order. It's cheap enough, but I have the regular 2002 UM already and know I won't touch the PS2 Tougeki version when the XBLA version drops. OTOH, it's good for practice! :lol
SAB CA said:
Yes, yes it will. In fact I think some will end up preferring it to XIII because of the larger amount of characters.

It was pretty quick, but they had a home release listed pretty early on, IIRC, whereas this time we have heard nothing.

Simultaneous releases of MvC3, KOF13 and VF5FS confirmed. :lol
-DarKaoZ- said:
This is the correct answer. I mean, as much as I'm definitely in the "I want this shit NAO~" mood as much as any one else in this topic, I want this game to do well in the arcade market, and make SNK some money.
2011 will definitely be the year of the arcade home port. I've got KOFXIII, VF5 and likely a "PLUS" port of Gundam Extreme Versus to look forward towards!

wait, VF5FS home port is confirmed?

No no, just that SEGA has a habit of releasing VF against other, more popular franchises all the time. I would fully expect a run-in with MvC3 if they announce a home port for Spring.

As much as I really enjoy XI... I have to agree with this ^_^ I would easily say that XI is the 98 of the tag-related games, though. And I really enjoy having Tung Fu Rue in a KoF XD
(Jubei Yamada, Tung Fu Rue, and Chin Gentsai for Ojii-san in KoF XIV!)

please don't ship KOFXIII and VF5FS together, that would kill me!

Iori's neomax looks exactly like I wanted it to. Good going SNKP! Vice and Mature's look alot more red than before. Like blood, rather than flames. I like this change! They have different hit effects, don't care about the eyes being the same
Hmmm, Kyo, why are you teaming up with someone named SAIKI? Playable boss character tease, eh?

Damn SAB CA you and your godamn eye! :lol
Nice find!
IIRC Saiki was White Ash name right?
XD Yeah, that's what we've heard so far, Saiki is suppose to be "White Ash". Really curious to see how (s)he looks...
Also, isn't it great when a team cosplays together?
Pretty Sneaky SNK! Saiki-leaking video REMOVED, replaced with THIS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIl-_Li-yZg
Iori doesn't care that he did as much damage as 99 hits from Kensou or Ralph with 2 moves. He's cooler than them (he told me so!) and wears a moon.
"When you look up at the moon, think of me!"

CYS team did that in KOF98 with their Orochi forms- I always appreciated that. I also when I played Mary/Billy/Yama, I always picked the same colors.
I tend to do that in team games.
arstal said:
"Go Team!" Aspect in full effect. Gotta love the themed teams. Would try in MvC2 and such, but rarely has it been as solid as it is here. Looking Forward to Kula colored K fighitng with Kula Color'd Kula and... didn't they say Yuri or Mai had Kula colors?
Love the selectable color list with preview idea, too. (Thanks Blazblue! And I think maybe Melty Blood?) I always got special button press combo colors (A+B, B+D)mixed up in 98UM, expecially since button combos for color selection don't re-map to new buttons if you reasign the punches and kicks on your joystick...

LOL imagine what happened at SNKP HQ.
"Fuck! Look! There's Saiki on Kyo team in Iori's NM vid!"
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What do we do?! What do we do?!"
"OK. Calm down! I'll delete it and you get into practice mode and do that combo again on regular team."
"I didn't make it! I don't know how to do that combo!"
"Fuck!"
"The best I can do is EX DM into NM."
"Must do!"
:lol
:lol I agree, it looked like they fidigted with Iori there. "Ummm..... he's in HD mode... DO SOMETHING, FAST!"
My imagination had a bunch more "OOooooooo.... (dumbfounded stare)" and "SHIMATTA!" stuck in there, though, lol. With some guy getting flogged in the corner, "Baka! Baka! BAKA!"
Maybe someone even repeated Iori's "Die, as you lay!" victory quote...

Knowing all those vids come in the morning, I'll have issues sleeping at night :lol "Do I stay awake and pay the price, or sleep and possibly miss the reveal?!?"
Sad admittance of an SNKP/KoF fanboy.
At any rate, I hope "Technical Reference" means "Lets show off each move, command normal, DM, and their EX variations"... As much as I like finding how to USE things on my own, I don't mind the idea of getting to see everything animated first hand, teasing me on what I'll be able to do.
In the Vice Neomax vid, I assumed that swipe she does after her close C was her Da Cide... but it could also be a new command normals, that just looks alot like it. I hope it's a command normal! ^_^
