People already getting the game and not me 
.
.Atlus has said they really don't care all that much if people get it early, so you're safe.
As for netcode, impressions from locals came in- saying SF4 quality, so decent but not as good as could be. The SRK impression seems on the low end, and some folks are saying it's better then SF4, so I'm guessing it's decent but not great.
Definitely good enough to learn from and have fun with, which is my standard.
I'm going to get so blown up next week going into a tourney day 0 vs other folks day 5.

Well, I suppose I can wait for release day delivery. No big deal. I'm always unsuccessful at buying games early anyway.

Ugh, this game has the dumb way of button config.
Preorder cancelled.

Mmmm...such a good looking game. These backgrounds are hot.

That article is highly biased, also most imnpressions state that the game is about SF4 level netcode.
Just read some of the comments.
So hot.. i would even say that the game is not work safe...
* BA DUM TISH *
Yup apparently the netcode is on par with SSFIV. Not so bad since i got a brand new connection (6Mb) just for DAT KOF

Must resist the open door comment....hnnngh
retail build changes that, at least on char select screen. Found out during Atlus's stream earlier this week. SNK listened.
I think they're still using a beta version on that, judging by some things.

Unfortunately the style for KOFXII and XIII is to have all the female characters don stupid moeblob faces. It's really off-putting. Same with the 'roided out males.
I starting to miss classic KOF art. That direction + High res would have been perfection.

Eh I personally dislike KoF Terry's phsyique, actually most of the male cast seemed to have the same body build in the older games =/
If there was one SNK characters I could have in this game it'd be this manly fellow-

They'd use Kasumi instead. Todo was the old-school Dan (humor out of being weak) of the SNK-verse anyways.

They could always just give Todo, Kasumi's movelist if not his CvSNK 2 movelist.

I agree. Clark & Ralf man the shock of it all.

Haha, Todo is a G.
And yeah, I was referencing the Ikari dudes and Terry.

I love the new art direction, its like they went back to the drawing board and tried to make each character feel unique in look and body type. Athena, Mai, Yuri, King, Ralf, Maxima, Ash, Duolon, Kensou etc. all have distinct builds and styles. This especially shows when comparing to other games like SF. Look at Ryu/Ken/Akuma who look almost like palette swaps and then at Ryo/Robert/Takuma who look so different. This extends to pretty much the entire cast in the new art direction (save for Clark/Ralf, you have that Arnold/Stallone thing going).

Seeing as the avatars got reset this is my perfect excuse to make myself a KoFXIII avatar. Does anyone still have that link to all the KoFi pics?
Tizoc
Member
Oh yeah you're right the avatars don't show up.
So could someone make me a Sambrero KoF XIII av please?

Don't think they got reset. They just got turned off to decrease forum load.

Yep i don't like how some of the chars look but overall i do think they are nice.
Also it's soon time to make people fear those angry meat buns (moeblob faces) chars .

Well, I'm sure they turned them off and then back on again, which is why nobody has one right now, but the option to upload one is still there so I don't think they're off currently.
Edit: Read through the update thread. Nevermind then...

Some KOF av's would be nice though. If people post a source image of what they want I can whip up something for them.

Quite a bit worse according to mumblings on my twitter feed.

Most are saying it's on par with SF4, though. Honestly, it's hard to tell until the game is out.

How big is install file?
Yup. Early buyers' thoughts on the online are all over the place. I keep reading that's better than MvC3 was online, and if that's the case the game will be a keeper for me.

Can someone tell me how good/bad MvC3 and SF4:AE online was? I skipped both of those game for blazblue =/
MvC3 was pretty bad. A lot of input delay and lower fps.
I personally think AE runs really well with the other Swedes I usually play with. I do hear that others find the netcode so-and-so, but I personally find that it works really well! Of course, my impressions might be different when playing with randoms in other countries, but I have no idea about their setups etc.
Now, these are just my opinions and netplay might behave differently where I live because of different infrastructure.
I am curious if they mean Vanilla SF4, though. Maybe that had a worse netcode?

not as good as blazblue
MVC 3, for me, was good for the basic chain combos and such, but it started to get worse when it came to specific timing stuff. Linking became more difficult, so it was a good few frames off. Nothing horrible by any means, I still put a lot of time into playing VS certain friends every once in a while.
SF4:AE, I found to be a bit better than original SFIV. SF's over-reliance on 1 frame links made it's flaws really stand out, but again, still very playable, just in that "no replacement for offline!" category.
I had a few horror stories with Blazblue too, really... It's very solid, and lets you have awesome games with the wider playerbase. That's the biggest difference of the codes, to me; Because almost any netcode, without horrid delay as a default, will let you play locals or kinda-near people fairly well.
KoF players seem to be finding KoF's netcode pretty bearable so far. Those who find good connections with locals report above-average performance, which is good to hear.
Vanilla's links and stuff felt a bit harder to me, AE's were better, but only slightly. Which isn't that bad, considering it added spectator.
Oh, and never had FPS problems with Marvel 3 on Xbox 360.
I see. Thanks for the clarification. Now I wonder which game they mean when they compare it to "SF4". Could be either.
Oh? Well that's weird. I always had a lot lower FPS when playing online compared to offline.
I played on PS3 btw. So that might have had something to do with it, but I haven't heard anyone mention that this was exclusive to one console online.
