O.O

SQUEEEEEEEEEEE~! XD

SNK puts so much hard work into their main KOF games.

This is the biggest leap in their entire history. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

The climax of the Crimson Saga is at hand.

Not to be rude or anything but I didn't see anything new in there. Short clip, but yeah. Not even a character swapping out-juggle move into the next character coming in to finish out a combo. SNK Playmore has been putting out collection after collection recently, how did they find time to do major upgrades in a brand new game?

The same way when you don't know something in another game/system hardware topic, I'll be the same inquiry here. What's going on in the KOF series since its been a while between KOFXI (Although only recently released in the US on PS2) and this newest iteration?

You said "biggest leap" there. Do tell! Don't be vague or make people seek out important details.

-
An Amazon review on KOFXI was ridiculously funny where some poor sap considers this the girliest "fruity" pebbles game there is due to amount and emphasis of female characters. Most nerdy peeps would be all over the female eye candy. This guy proposes everyone go buy fighting games with more manly men pummeling eachother. No girls club. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/eviltongue.gif
-
Also if they'd simply show the cheesy last boss character upfront, you know, that'd be pretty cool too. Make or break purchases with the SNK cheesy bastard last boss(but not really the last boss, here's one more! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif) characters.

well yeah there is many gameplay things unknown about it. But I'm sure the Team Feature will be similiar to KOF 2003 and KOF XI, or at
least like the classics with no tag team, but straightforward team
elimination. But ya it would be a shame if the team feature is
removed just like that maximum impact game. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

But still,
it definitely looks more incredible than SFIV. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Which looks better than the new age 3D SNK offering:

The second was slightly better, but I got tricked into getting the first with its "new" stuff and wasn't going to waste more on a 2nd Max Impact.

Don't know what's incredible about 2D sprites(that are the same as in XI) in 2008 again, but Saner opinion belongs to Saner. Can't make this stuff up. Opinion entitled to yeah, you!

Oh! Thanks for the link. I hope they bring back Oswald,he really was the selling point for me to play XI. More than likely this will just be an update of XI's existing combat system,and a rebalance of all the characters. Which is fine by me. I actually have no problems with rehashed gaming material as long as I know it's coming.

Yamazaki needs to make a comeback too. I miss playing as him.

[Saner]

most likely cause all the newcomers in KOF 2003 were playable
in KOF XI also. so everyone new in KOF XI will definitely shift
to XII most likely. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Monochrome]

It's good to see all these old SNK games getting thrown together into compilations and new ones bein made. Anyone played that new SNK battle colliseum game? Any good? eh... I'll prolly pick it up. PS2 will never die...

[KaneKahn]

A bunch of new fighting games are coming out along with this one. New Street Fighter and Tekken.

[Kylie]

Come on B. Jenet! ;3

I support piracy. Yet,I can't see myself being terribly hurt if she doesn't make a return.

Com'n Oswald,that super is just too good to NOT make a comeback.

Well, I'm sure the character models of the KOF games look better than SF 4 (Seriously, Roseanne's ass looks better than Ryu's face).

But I think gameplay wise, both look equally awesome. I'm equally stoked about both of these games.

Pfft, you know "An Oi Mademoiselle" makes you hot and bothered.

[Kanju]

As long as Momoko is announced as a character(hopefully), I'll be a happy person.

[Saner]

ya Momoko's style is incredible! It's really neat being able to manually
input different combinations for one of her supers and some specials
http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

plus its so cute when she dashes and grabs,
cause she sounds like a mewling! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif


well here's the confirmed returning roster:

Kyo (confirmed)
Ash (confirmed)
Benimaru (confirmed)
Athena (confirmed)
Terry (confirmed)
Kim (confirmed)


and here's the possible returning:

Oswald
Shen Woo
Elisabeth
Duo Lon
Ryo Sakazaki
Yuri Sakazaki
King
B Jenet
Ralf
Clark
Whip
Kensou
Momoko
K'
Kula
Maxima
Iori
Shingo

some people like DuckKing and Vanessa, I left
them out of the list cause considering this is
super new hardware for KOFXII, it's possible
there might not be as many teams, or there will
be new characters introduced that will take up
those slots (besides the bosses). Who knows?
Maybe Andy and Mai will return (not counting
ports)? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

It's as good as anyone's guess but since nothing
is being recycled like before, they would have
to been doubling the effort to make KOFXII have
as many fighters as KOFXI does. If it doesn't
then it has to make a few sacrifices for the
greater good. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Actually,I'm more of a Vanessa kinda guy. Might have something to do with the red hair.

Spoke with a friend of mine about the KoFXII,he mention something about the sprites being bigger this time. Does that mean they are stretched out? Rather than redrawn? I can't really find anything outside of moonspeak on this game.

From the looks of the trailer, the sprites would naturally be bigger due to being redrawn, but look to be the same dimensions as the older sprites. Kind of like what they're doing with SFII HD Remix.

[Saner]

ya it's great they are much bigger! I always wanted sprites around
the size of Art of Fighting 2's sprites. Even if there is scaling, that
makes the fights more dramatic (like in Samurai Shodown too) http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/__icsFiles/artimage/2008/02/16/pc_fc_n_gn/WAD_8800.jpg

well they aren't AOF2 huge, but still a big size
difference between XI and XII. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[-Ryuki-]

Must say, the sprites of KoF12 look damn amazing. Almost can't wait to play, and hoping we get this as soon as JP does.

Also, did anyone bother checking out "Basara X"? Devil Kings, in the form of a fighting game that's basically Samurai Showdown meets Guilty Gear~

And of course, a 3D Samurai Showdown fighting game that looks pretty damn promising.

[Freshellent]

Haha,I wonder is Ash's flames will be purple now,or he'll get a new attack. Considering the ending of XI. ( That is,unless I missed something.)
I dig Kyo's look for this one too. I like his more casual outfits.

Hmm,it's looking a little better than I expected. Should be a nice crisp game. Music and announcer was great last game,I can only hope that makes a return as well. Does anyone know anything on the gauge system on this game? XI's was simply outstanding,allowed for a lot of combo options and much better defensive measures than a lot of fighters out there.

KoFXI is prolly my favorite outside of 02,I really hope they continue to move forward.

[Alisha]

as long as kasumi returns i'll probally get it. i'd also like to see more characters from garou. punt kim and add his sons.

[Saner]

tons of new screenshots!

http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1214186_1124.html

there seems to be a clashing system like GGX where if attacks
collide at the sametime, they may cancel/deflect each other out. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif
