i'll play him either way, it's tradition.
My guess is that KOFXIII will be great but the online will suck.Swittcher said:
There's no chance that SNKP made big (Huge) changes to KOFXII online code.
(I hope to eat crow though)
Anyway,this is just the arcade release. (I really want to see KOFXIII on Arcadia's Top 10)

I want K' too!

SNK has to know the online was garbage, and they have to know they need to fix it. Dealing with Ignition, I'm sure Shane told them how important online is to Americans.
But yeah, Mai needs to be in there, and she needs to bounce ALOT.
KOF Maxium Impact was SNK's biggest success in NA for a reason, and it sure as hell wasn't the gameplay.
The latest we know about Ignition and SNKP was that they were on 'bad terms'.
After BB success i guess that Ignition could force SNKP into talking online as something important.
Atlus published Metal Slug on the PSP, lets see who publishes KOFXIII.
Anyway next week is all about the arcade.

Yeah, La Cachorra needs to be in!-DarKaoZ- said::lol @ Fix
Anyways, yeah, K and Kula MUST BE IN THE GAME!!
Well I can only wait, I already want to see the classic characters with their new looks/artstyle.
The last thing MadMax from Ignition forums said was that they were having meetings with SNKP to see if they continued with the partnership.Swittcher said:

Well, it's good we'll see some stuff. But the likelihood of anyone ever playing the arcade who lives outside Japan is zilch.
Edit: Call me a heathen, but I would be tickled pink if they ditched all the Art of Fighting and other micellaneous characters, and went with only Fatal Fury characters, since the Fatal Furies started as the main KOF tournaments to begin with.

Or you know, make another Fatal Fury. Garou MOW2! Have it feature the super fat love child of Cheng and Chang.

This. The "Southtown" Crew will always be secondary in KOF, where pretty boys like Kyo, K' and Ash rule the roost. No big deal, just give me another Garou Densetsu/Fatal Fury game so that I can be happy too!
I'd also like to see what they were talking about when it comes to that "SS vs. LB" crossover that was discussed around snk-capcom.com about a year or so ago...

Swittcher said:
Actually, that's not entirely true.
The AOF part of the "Southtown Storyline" was what laid a lot of the ground work that other games in the plot line used.
For example, Mr. Big, and then later, Geese Howard, especially, were doing a lot of the behind the scenes operations that led up to Geese controlling Southtown.
Without AOF, you miss out on a lot of what happened to make it so Geese had the opportunity to kill Jeff Bogard, thus allowing him to take control of the underground fighting tournament in Southtown that would eventually be known as "King of Fighters".
For what it's worth, the Southtown Plotline was a fairly interesting narrative. That's another reason why I'd love another game that continues it. It'd be a nice change from all of the overpowered deities with attitudes, corrupt organizations and "international pretty boys of mystery!" that permeate KOF now. :lol

some people might not know this, but KoF 2002 UM was released last year.
I would absolutely love to see Hon Fu back. His remixed music in the Real Bout CD releases are some of my fav. fighting game music, and it's great to see a character who does such a solid job being Jackie Chan. I'd prefer the RBS version of his Seikuu Rekka Kon, though.
Reguardless of what others say of XII, I loved the fact that they didn't just play it safe, and release a cast of ALL fan favs (we have SFIV for that). It's much more interesting to see underappreciated characters get a chance at a redesign (Kensou and Chin where remade fantastically), than to just see every character pulled into a game for nothing more than facetime.
The fact that we're having a playtest so swiftly, even before screenshots, or teaser art, is kinda worrysome, though. As time-intensive as it is for them to make sprites, it makes me wonder how they could have anything worth seeing already. Less detailed sprite work? Different style? 3D?!? Less than a week to find out...

Well, as has been the story thus far, KOFXII was release as it was, because they simply did more to run out of time, and needed to start making an attempt at making some money. It's highly likely that the team NEVER stopped working, even as XII went ":lol, gold".
For their sake, I'm hoping that they were able to do something that they could see being a means to start being able to really "mass-produce" characters ASAP. Even if it does mean utilizing 3D graphics (though hopefully in a better format than how it was done in MI).
Like it or lump it, KOF, as a series, has done a lot to paint itself into a corner, because people have come to expect rosters of like 40-50 per game. That's probably why I think KOF should have likely been the LAST series that SNK should have thought about trying to take into the HD generation.
I mean, seriously. You see how peeps are still (HAPPILY!) playing both the vanilla and UM versions of 98 and 02. For all that trouble that went into making XII, they could have invested such resources into making a Garou MOTW2 look like a true work of art, and nobody would have balked from a smaller roster for a game like that! :lol

I mean, c'mon even as much I liked 96, even I'm willing to admit that game was BUSTED. And the same applies for 2K3 and 2K, as well.
For example, 2K was just a showcase on how Strikers was a TERRIBLE idea. Namely, Joe as Striker = ANY BODY has an infinite. :lol
Meanwhile, 2K3 had its own problems, among them being Duo Lon. If you really liked 2K3's style of play, you might as well just "graduate" to XI, which was the better constructed game.

Thanks to the bad reviews, I apparently dodged a bullet with XII. But damnit, I got that feeling in my bones; if this reveal is how I think It will be, this may be a Day 1 for me.
