The King of Fighters XIII- New gameplay trailer

Damn, looks great. I went back and played XII just last night. Still a fun game but it only makes the wait worse. Everything looks so polished now it's crazy. It also looks to play faster than XII (though this could just be my general scrubiness in mounting a consistent rush down).

Now to learn all the different kinds of jumps...
 
SFA2 is fucking amazing.

I grew up with KoF and SF. I really dislike SF4. Alpha 2 and CvS2 are my favorite street fighter games.

I think KoF13 is going to be awesome.

I like you.

Angel wasn't even an SNK character, she was Playmore/Eoilth. :(? Besides, they finished the NESTS saga a long time ago and there were plenty of characters who didn't return to the series afterwards.

But Angel was hot as fuck.

Why wasn't my delicious Leona shown in that trailer? This is an outrage! Outrage I say!!
Because she had no personal rivalry/ relation matchup to show off? -shrug- Though that makes one wonder why Kim VS Takuma or Ralf VS Raiden showed up!

(We're all being stealth trolled by Babyfat Athena VS Angry Meatbun Yuri, however!)

Look at the bright side, if this were XII, you would have seen the whole cast twice over, and had become bored of their movesets already! (^_^;)

With this being "Gameplay Trailer"... I wonder whats next? "Story Trailer"? "Modes Trailer"? It's just so straightforward! I think I prefer Ignitions "Trumph of Combat" and "Might is Right" trailer names more from XII! :lol
 
Kim and Takuma are both masters/fathers and their XIII convo has them talking about forgetting their worries once in a while and having a good old fashioned fight. 02UM had the special ending with Kim/Taku/Daimon as a bunch of fathers and their kids.

I don't think Ralf and Raiden have anything interesting going on, though.

Now THAT'S how HD sprites are done properly.
Arc needs to step their game up.
The sprites aren't actually HD; they're done in about the same res as Guilty Gear (e.g. sized for 480p) and then scaled up slightly for 720p. They still look fantastic because SNK put a ton of work into the animation and shading, mind. Arc actually drew HD sprites for Blazblue, but they elected to keep the shading "anime-style" like it was in GG.

Yeah, I was thinking "masters", but didn't even consider the "Fathers" part just then. "Guys in white Gi's!" did come up, however!

I think Ralf and Raiden begins and ends at "They Both Begin with R." I woulda expected Clark (They're both grapplers that wear BLUE!), but Bareback Vulcan is always a joy to watch, sooo...

No English voices?

as far as i'm concerned there is no voiced story and everyone should be familliar with the jap voices since ages ...n There is really no need for them

Because he speaks English?
It's not a wild request. Many modern fighting games have options for both.

Eh, if it came down to it? Not to be a weeaboo about it, but I could think of better things that SNKP and Atlus could spend their money on (or at least save it). No matter how much money the two may spend on advertising and other such things, KOF is going to be a niche franchise that caters to, as SNKP themselves basically put it a little while ago, "the crazy hardcore".

So, that much said, I'd feel better knowing the money was going towards what I would think would be more meaningful things in the long run. For example, MI2/2006's first run in the US was accompanied by a nice campaign where preorders got TERRY'S HAT. Can we get something like that again (or more)?

There is plenty of things to do besides dubbing the game , your text , menu , ( choices ?) are in english .. The text in KOF was always slim anyway ... Getting concerned by an english dub is a waste of ressources.

For blazblue , i can understand that , the game is heavy on story , For street , the story is there ( with cutscènes and everything ).

Unless there is this huge story component i'm not yet aware of in KOF 13 , i really don't see why there shoould have any dubbing .

I think the main concern is that the in battle voice samples for some characters are annoying as fuck and some people don't want to listen to them.

I want Oswald btw. But as long as Kula is there I'm happy <3

Seconded. I really want XI on XBL or PSN so I can play it and him again. My Japanese PS2 copy can't be played on my PAL BC PS3. :(

Yeah, but if the netcode is like 2002UM, than no thank you. I was playing with a friend. We're both in the same country and have good connections (16mbit+) and we had a red bar and big inputlag. ewww

I want Terry back in his MotW outfit, but I don't see that happening.
Yes, please!
 
I want my team of full Kyo's back. Cmon man, put every variation of him in, that's the only way to sate my HUNGER.

Oh, and please make an Ice Kyo please. That is all.

They really should put some Samsho/LB Characters in. It started as a crossover-series after all.
I think it would be safer to wish for a new Neo Geo Battle Colosseum 2 than those characters in a new KOF

After a MOTW2, that's perhaps the one game I could really go for from SNK.

I loved the KOFXI style of play, with the tag-action and such. I just didn't think it was a good match for KOF itself. Another NGBC could definitely benefit from such though, I'd imagine.

I think that will largely depend on just what type of SF-guy you are.

If you're a newbie who just came on board through the SF4-generation, or a veteran who prefers 3S, you may not care for KOF's more frenetic pace. But I'd like to think that anybody who dug the Alpha games, or even better, CvS2, will probably be able to adapt better to a game like this.
While I played Alpha 3 and a little CvS2, I mainly button mashed at the time (although by the time I played MvC2 and CvS2 I learned to button mash quarter circle motions :P).

Ideally, I'm hoping that there is an "Arranged" mode (much like XI or "X-Eye", as they called in the stream! :lol), just so that people who want their damned "arcade perfection" will be happy too.

If there's any serious rebalancing then I hope so. More out of necessity than anything though, as weird as it may sound to other people, my only competition is people playing the arcade cab so if the changes are drastic I won't even be able to use this as a practice mode :I Although that won't be a problem if they update the arcade and stay away from NesicaxLive I guess.

Yeah, that'd be great. I certainly wouldn't mind if they took a break from KoF for a while to do another NGBC.
 
Got dammit. KOFXIII hype is tru' da roof!

I recommend you guys watching the iPlaywinner stream from SouthTown Arcade every other sunday. KOF lovers in the mic so youre gonna have a good time.

Kind crazy but seeing all this KOFXIII hype warms my rotten heart.

As long as few people saw my embarrassing Takuma play on the first day, I'm fine with the future.

Yeah. And it's a bit sad, though. I mean, I can understand KOF was what paid the bills, but I'm really hoping that SNK will be able to nurture its other franchises sometime soon. At least give us a MOTW2 or NGBC2 after you likely finish off with KOFXIV. Or hell, how about going back and giving Samurai Shodown a REAL next-gen update to make up for the utter trash that was Sen (Edge of Destiny)?

I know people have a lot to say about XII, but compared to Sen, it's no contest who was the bigger disappointment...
 
Thing is, why would SNKP spend 2 or 3 years animating a dozen characters for a NGBC, Garou or SS (KOF XII = four years animating 20 characters), when the game would just make a fraction of the profit of a KOF? That time is better spent increasing the KOF roster, realistically.

We all want a new Garou, LB, SS... but none of those games sell. SS is their second biggest fighting franchise, profit-wise, and the last 3 or 4 SSs flopped! Even if they had been profitable, the only way they would be able to make another would be by outsourcing.

That's why I said add them to the KoF-Roster. Nobody would care why Hibiki etc. are now in Southtown.

Most, if not all, of SamSho and LB's cast use weapons though, which is the complete opposite of KOF's cast.

Does the US ver. on 360 have the decapitations?

Yup. And more! Front side Decap, Back side Decap, arterial blood spray, horizontal body chop, and hand, and I believe leg, dismemberment. It's one place where this game did a good job, as the deaths were very sudden, and fairly disturbing, just like old SamSho.

I'd love to see characters like Hanzo, Seiger and Kanzuki enter the game, foregoing their weapons except when doing maybe a few specials, or their Neomax's. Heck, Seiger might be able to keep his the whole time, he's just like a medieval Maxima! :lol: Lee Rekka would be fairly believeable in a KoF, as well...

sweet. I'm not a big fan of gore, and despite all its criticisms I'd really wish this is on PSN, just so I can mess around in it with my friends.

Lee Rekka may as well be Li Xaing-fei's great grandfather =3
