SNK Mega-Thread - Pre-Launch "Alpha" Tournament Edition

tweet SNK for KOFXIV rollback netcode
we need to meme it

IIRC only Luong and Nelson got picked. Both didn't get much done (compared to that monster Athena chucking smug spirit bombs at everyone) but there was still enough Luong to get a basic gist of her; poor Nelson though just got steamrolled by everybody.
Vice and Choi were the real hype.

Btw, can't Vice follow the drag n' toss grab with the anti-air grab?

What about Mian and Hein (somehow I feel they're pulling another King)

For the time being, I'll say Sylvie. She won me over with that back walk animation.
But I'm curious to see Zarina in action; I wager she'll have some interactions with Nakoruru.hot toucan on hawk action

Surely, they won't chicken out after this. ….right?

I really want to see how Geese's Butler and Love Hear plays.

Until I try the new characters, I'm pretty sure my main team will be Tung/Maxima/Ramon

I thought rollback was the bad one for playing against people across the world, that's at least what my understanding was based on The Last Blade 2 European press release.

The backgrounds in this game are SUPER boring compared to the 2D games.

What happened?

They spent all their time on the characters. Maybe XV will be more detailed.

Has anyone even noticed Yuri?

thats just hit confirms and supers, no context at all, what a shit video

They've a bit less things going on but, personally, I tend to it prefer it that way, stages like the Derelict Church.
But yeah, Esaka and the Stadium, places that should give the impression of being packed, seem very lifeless.

Again with no braid. Maybe they're taking notes from Capcom and are going to sell it separately. :(

...

i could never get into this game because all the characters and their attacks just seem so boring.

Fatal fury truck stop seems all right.

That ass is also number one in Japan.

Polite sage to not squander the bumps with these shenanigans.

i tried playing other SNK games
started with World Heroes series

I tired playing Savage Reign and Kizuna Encounter too

>Kizuna Encounter has a cool tag system stopped playing upon seeing Carol not included, cant pair King Lion with anyone other than Carol ;_;

Ill try Fighter's History series next

Try Waku Waku 7 as well.

That's Sunsoft, m8. Still a decent parody fighter.

For a not-SNK but Neo Geo suggestion, try Rage of the Dragons. It's the best Double Dragon fighting game, and it's technically not even Double Dragon. I have no idea who owns the RotD rights now, either, since I think they put two of those characters into Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, but it was developed by Noise Factory and Evoga.

We already know another metal slug is coming, So what non-fighting games would you guys want to see SNK bring back?

A new Neo Turf Masters with a course creator would be rad, also wouldn't mind a new Baseball Stars game

Sengoku 4
1 and 2 were crap but 3 was fantastic, if a bit short. That Toshikazu Tanaka music is still present in my memory; really wish he worked on XIV (besides Sengoku 3, he also did RotD and KoF MI 1 and 2).

A new Athena could be fun too. The original game already had all those armors and transformations so the concept could be adapted into a solid RPG. Like Ni-Oh but very colorful and with Greek mythology. It has the potential to be something really eye-catching among the dreary competition. Just imagine it in all its chubby bikini glory and the shitstorm it would cause because SNK wouldn't back down.
Fuck, now I really want it…

Rage of the Dragons mate… Best non-SNK Neo Geo game. And, as far as I know, the rights for the characters belong to no one at all.

There were some great designs in that game. If I was SNK, I would buy them for a couple of yens.

You need to try dude. An user said in a previous thread that KOF is like fusion jazz, it's technical but it only gets real good when you start to improvise. The game offers so much in regards to movement and variety that no other fightan in the market does the same.

Well, there's still 7 or 8 stages left to be revealed, and at least the truck stop, the mexico ring and the carnival are pretty busy.

And my favourite is the Church… So go figure.

Goddammit, now I want an Athena game styled after Ni-Oh too.

I want SNK to pick up RotD and re-release for PC(or if they have to, PS4) as a start and then keep going with that universe. It's such a decent edgy take on DD that it actually works.

I was so disappointed when I got to play RotD. Sonia's presented as a Sambo user so I was expecting a Blue Mary type grappler but instead she tosses knives and summons pillars of light.
At least there was Ozzy Osbourne as a pedo priest and a autistic chick being ploughed by her brother…. Man, that game was fuckin' hardcore and they didn't put the neo-nazi guy they had in the initial plans.

…c-can we meme magic it?

Alright Athena, I'll give you a go for once everyone else is solid from what I can tell

Alice better just be female Terry gameplay wise, maybe using an older movesetof his.

Any confirmation on a color editor?

Meme magic only works if enough people believe, though. NoA is trying to meme magic #FE into being popular too given how they're forcing it through to the west despite it bombing in Japan.

But fuck, I'd settle for Athena inba game that looks like Ni no Kuni.

Indeed. I'd pester snkofficial if I had a Twatter but oh well…
I think the concept has genuine potential, especially if they whore it as a… *deep breath* …"soulslike experience" like how KT is doing with Ni-Oh (despite the fact that playing that game like DaS is a sure way to get killed). The one thing against it is the colorful, girly aspect that might not sit well, even though a lot of RPG players are total waifufags. If SNK had to go Ninja Theory on Athena, I'd rather they not do anything at all.

Polite sage for OT.

Speaking of Athena, you know what would be rad?

A Psycho Soldier game that plays like Vanquish

...

SNK Entertainment means not just videogames. If SNK wants to sell and pander correctly, they better start with a waifu anime spinoff like put the SNK girls in a high school or something, thatll keep the otaku money rolling along from the merchandise

I played ROTD back in the day but never tried to understand it. I'll play it again

started to play Karnov's Revenge and it did SF2 Clone than any of the other Neo Geo titles. I'm liking it so far

man some of games really did follow AoF1/AoF2 game design. Sure Savage Reign/World Heroes did it better by having connecting normals and normal cancel to special attack for combos but the "Tap" button and "Press" button is a horrible game design tbqh familio

They did that already before the acquisition; Days of Memories

That's still not pandering to the lowest denominator since that's a series of dating sims and on mobile phones(pre-smart phones) and DS rather than PSP or Vita. You need an actual waifu anime like Monster Musume, and then milk the shit out figures/posters/drama CDs/BDs on top of games.

I'd pay for some good Whip figures, but any SNK girls as figures would be neat.

I'm fucking ready then put Freeman in you fucks.

There is like one Shermie figure and it's one of those cheap crane game ones. God damn do I want more figures.

Oh, new thread.

I will read the other posts later but responding my fellow Eurofag from the last thread:

The EU community could try asking Rising Star Games or some other publisher if they'll take KOFXIV. There's a space for Europe on the main website so someone will release there.
For myself, I really wanted the artbook but it'll be insanely expensive to import the game here too.

Gato ray uploaded the whole tournament in his channel. youtube.com/user/KofTheMania/videos
I sugest you to watch :

"Pools part 3" for Clark checking Iori hops,
"TOP 16 part 3" for the Vice comeback and beatdown.
"TOP 16 part 4" for Athena's Death Balls
And of course the 3rd Place and finals for higher level matches.

Atlus never distributed over there?

Because here in Hueland, we always get the same distributor as the US. And we are fucking socialists! People just accepted that if we don't get the game legally, we will find a way to get it illegally.

It worked.

Based SNK

Atlus doesn't have an EU branch, that's why all their games were published by nisa in EU, well until just a few weeks ago that is

Bring back the 20th anniversary Vanessa and I'll buy it.

I'd be down for some CUUHRAIZEEEE shootan, though I can't imagine how they'd implement the concept of different weapons with Athena going pew pew pew with her fingers but maybe they wouldn't have to; perhaps SNK could find a way to bring back many of their old IPs as modestly budgeted, digital and subtitles only titles, leaving KoF, SamSho and Garou as their flagships. It's something I wish Capcom did but they'd rather let their IPs rot than make something they don't expect to sell millions. Alas, I digress.
Flying schoolgirl shooting down aliens with her magic fingers, it is.

That would be me. Appreciate the consideration.
We got the battered housewife syndrome almost as bad as SF fans; though I'm that housewife that gets fed up, packs up and moves out. Atrocious delays happen (as with P4A) and people say "we have to buy to show support". Bullshit. If people buy after a huge delay, they're basically saying they're OK with getting screwed. But, again, I digress.

The tournament was interesting. Choi and Vice were my personal highlights.
That Athena was a monster; I'm left wondering if she's that good or the opponents simply couldn't deal with her.

I want to hope it means Sega is taking publishing duties in EU but I doubt it. Since the start that they stated they'd let Atlus conduct business as usual.
I'm mostly concerned with KoF and Vanillaware's titles.

Well what ever happens, we can at least take comfort in knowing that NISA lost their biggest source of revenue regarding video games

is athena the new hot fortress character

Fuck yes, those look good. I hope Chinese Overlords bring more.

So, between the two, who's better? Athena or Athena?

Also, who is best girl, and why is it not Rose Bernstein?

Jumps are more floaty compared to XIII so Athena players can play the reaction game way better. I think some of the Athena players especially in pools got away with pretending to be Ryu by doing full screen Psycho ball -> Run up -> Crouch C -> Psycho ball as their main gameplan. Good players will be able to deal with that. Once people start disrespecting her blockstrings she'll look more honest.

Because Rose isn't Angel

It's time to have some fun justnopoint.com/sparta/svc/

Luong ara ara~ voice is half of the beauty of that super, step up senpai.

>…c-can we meme magic it?

holy crap, why is Karnov's Revenge fun? i play Ray and look up some info on how to fight as him, and all of a sudden

DICK TORNADO!
DYNAMITE!
WEEE KIIK!

does SNK have the IP rights to this game?
for a SF2 clone, it is a pretty good clone

That said, the generator takes me back; I used to shitpost with it on some old forums years ago.

This guy, Karnov and Zazzie are pretty sick, too.

I just found a decent looking Mai. It's a shame the Angel one that I can see on google images looks less than hot.

Decent.
I never wanted a figurine until right now. Sauce?

Found on the Rakuten market, but I don't see a price on mobile.
global.rakuten.com/en/store/hakata-smile/item/10013478/

Found what looks to be the same model on ebay for like $45USD: ebay.com/itm/172183874008?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

...

Rakuten says 200 bucks.

Seems legit

Oh fuck. Makes me wonder what's up with the ebay listings, since I found a few others for that $40-$50 range, like this one. ebay.com/itm/Anime-KOF-The-King-of-Fighters-Mai-Shiranui-Black-1-6-Pre-painted-Figure-NIB-/361277766336?nav=SEARCH

Are you beginning to see the pattern?

Don't ask me. I don't buy things on the internet. If I can't get something in a physical store, I don't need it that bad.
Luckily I live in a major city and there's a ridiculous amount of weird little shops around.

Never trust China. I just quit a job I had for two years with a Chinese corporation, and they're somehow shadier and more exploitative than American ones.
As far as ebay is concerned, are Chinese pirates a thing? I could see them selling something for such a lower price if they didn't pay anything for it, outside of whatever it costs to maintain a boat or gank a train or truck or something.

Easier and less dangerous to just make counterfeits.

They don't pirate shit, they make counterfeits. For example; the Good Smile figure company puts out PSAs all the time on how to spot counterfeits of their figures because china.

I did after I posted the second ebay link. Well then.

Well… looks like we had similar ideas…

I can recreate every single line from Blazzing Saddles using this site

i bought a chinese made counterfeit figurines of madoka
the big one cant even stand properly, always falls forward
nendoroid ones are okay imo
wasted $35 on them 3

...

I don't remember that part of the NESTS games

nope.mp4

When something like that ships from China and has a somewhat "low" price like that, there is a 99.99999999999999999% chance that it's a low-quality bootleg.

I want more.

Yeah I want to play as the butler too, I used to be one so it seems pretty cool to me.

Badass butlers are kind of a stereotype in movies and anime but I can't think of a videogame where the boss's bodyguard / manservant is a beast of a butler.

I'd die happy that way.

never forget these feels

waiting for some other game, because i have only a glimmer of hope for this one, probably will end as side tournament material in one year after release

Evolution had a butler that attacked with axe kicks. There's also an afro samurai in Wild Arms 3, but i don't think he's a butler, per ce.

Bring back thick Athena.

Eurofags, is this a big deal?

twitter.com/cmdr_nippon/status/725973004929261569

played Breaker's Revenge, the art style and match pace managed to feel like Darkstalkers to me. I had to double check if this was a CPS2 game

i thought Saizo was that ninja guy from Groove on Fight

Does anyone know how decent the psp version of SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 runs?

It's cheaper than buying the games I want for my vita separately, but I just wanted to know if there was any problems with the ports

Glad PS2 games are still coming out.

I mainly wanted it for portable versions of Baseball Stars 2, Neo Turf Masters, Shock Troopers and Super Sidekicks 3.

Then go for it.

Btw, did 8ch just ate my previous post?

Great site kikewheels, keep it up

That's a nice threa- HNNNNNG… wait I got better, so many useful informat- HNNNNNNG…

CLEAR
PZZZT

CLEAR
PZZZT
beep…. beep… beep

Ok, we got pulse. Sir what do you think of- HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

Those animations look stiff as fuck.
Gameplay wise it feels a lot like KOF XIII. I've even recognize a lot of combos watching KOF XIV videos.
So far it looks like just a KOF XIII with worse graphics.

We are probably in for a server update or something so expect Holla Forums to work like shit for an hour or so.

Gameplay wise is almost frame for frame a copy of 2002UM. KOF XIII was way faster and very reliant on the cancel meter.

In that case, KOF XIV is a better looking version of 2002UM, and that is actually really REALLY good.

Very few fans would say that XIII is better than 2002UM or 98UM. Prettier, of course. But the game had serious budget problems, that SNK worked around with the 3D models in XIV. So, while I'll miss the old SNK spritework, I'm also aware that things had changed and 3D is actually cheaper alternative and allows the designers to focus on gameplay.

Respectfully requesting Somebody's gotta go back and get a shit load of dimes!

Oh Dude, the problem in that line is that he talk to himself. However, will try it later.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
Are you guys alread thinking on a team?

I'm going with my husbando Clark, but I think i'll try playing with Luong too.

I'll have to see the remaining characters to choose a third one. The Sleeping Fist kid could be fun. If Hein really is Heinlein from Garou, I would like to try him too.

Otherwise, I'll be using King. Since she's simple and effective.

I would love to know how to play with Angel

Angel is basically a rekka/command grab character. She was completely busted in 2002 with corner infinites off either her command grab or a solid hit confirm. They removed her set play nonsense in 2002UM and sadly everyone dropped her because she's too much work for too little a return.

Gonna try out Luong for dem legs, gonna attempt to learn Angel because dat everything, and probably stick Terry in there for good measure since he's the only character I can reliably do specials and at least have good fundamentals with.

I should really get better at KoF, but I'm still too used to chains from Melty Blood and Skullgirls instead of frame canceling. Timing is crucial and I'm ass at it.

HE'S A KING
HE'S A KING
HE'S A KING
SHE'S A KING

ARE THERE ANYMORE KINGS IN SNK I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

There's a whole game of kings: youtu.be/nM9dojtbfVY

She's on the menu. It's hard to not notice.

No confirmation. Considering they didn't put it in the 98UMFE and 2002UM ports for Steam, we shouldn't have our hopes high.

Athena sliding through the area wearing a skirt. Kensou using a flying kick out of nowhere on the enemies.
I'm actually ok with that.

But yeah, I think SNK should just keep KOF and Samurai Shodown as their main fighting games for a while. Give us an action adventure game for Sky Love with Love Heart as the main character, new Ikari Warriors/Shock Troopers and other ideas in this thread.

It's not really floatier. Some jumps has the same speed as '98.

Post from the leaker at the Shoryuken forum:

But yeah, the game seems a little slower than XIII and they've made some changes to the jumps, projectiles and normals.

Definitly will try Luong and Nakoruru. I hope Kensou has good buttons this time instead of his shitty punches he has in XIII.

You are in luck, the frame cancel windows is at least twice as large in XIV as it was in 2002UM for most characters.

However, SNK developed a workaround for the low frame window around the time they were developing KOF 96, and kept tweaking it until KOF 2002UM (in 2008).

This trick is something very few people know about, which is a real shame because it significantly improves your chances of hitting links.

In several set situations, if you hold down the attack button, it will repeat the input for several frames for you, which mean it no longer requires accurate timing to hit a move as soon as possible. And it doesn't have the inherit issue with mashing, of cancelling previous actions.

So next time, while you wait for the hit confim, keep the button pressed. In no time you will know the timing of your characters.

If you want some "easy" characters to train this aspect before KOF XIV, I would suggest trying 2002UM's Clark and Leona.

For Clark, try to do this input using the buffering. If you spam, it will only work on rare ocasions, you need to be consistent. Luckily, Clark has a very large cancel window, so this is the "ez mode" for the mechanic

Close-C (first or second hit, the first one is easier to buffer and cancel) - Front-B (Great link, perfect for buffering) - Half Circle front C (Clark will tackle the opponent), while Clark is taking the opponent down, press Down Down-C, and after he suplex the opponent, press Quarter Circle front-C.

As for Leona, she's a very fast character, so her frame windows are smaller. Leona will be the hard mode of the buffering. Apply the same logic you did with Clark, but adapt to the character speed.

Close-D (first or second hit, the first one is easier to buffer and cancel) Front-B and as the animation is going on, buffer Quarter Circle-Back-A

The good part of those combos and links, is that they are unchanged in KOF XIV. So it will be something that you will transfer for the new game.

Heidern also has a similar link, that can only be finished with a DM. But since he's not in XIV, there's no need to learn it.

If you get this, one day I may teach you about Ralf's links and the true madness that is that character in 2002UM and how they royally fucked him in XIII.

Clark losing his Front-B command normal in XIII was also stupid as fuck also

Speaking of Heidern I was messing around with in training mode in 2002UM and christ he seems like a monster. Great fireball/antiair game, Sanic run that leaves him fucking flat on the ground, Jump C hits even when you think it'll overshoot, multi-hit normals make close C->forward B->Super an easy confirm, and he can steal your life. It's sad that he probably isn't coming back anytime soon, but I can see SNK would have nightmares trying to balance him.

Anyone want to play old KoF games on FightCade?

...

I'm surprised Nakoruru made the cut

They're even trying to hide that it will get a PC port anymore.

Well shiet.

It would be suicidal NOT to port it when China and South America are their biggest markets.

They're probably gonna push her as something big since after KoF they're gonna start working on Samurai Shodown

Heidern is TOP tier in any game he's in. The pure definition of a monster character. They even created Leona because of this.

In the Inside Stories for Characters page on their old website, they even stated that Heidern had to be replaced, so they created a character with a similar function and design, but still a rookie on his fighting style.

Just as an example of Heidern's overpowerness. Just look at the frame and damage data of the special he and Leona share, the Moon Slasher (charge down up punch)

Heidern
Lp Moon Slasher - Starts in 7 frames - Deals 100 damage
Hp Moon Slasher - Starts in 9 frames - Deals 120 damage

Leona
Lp Moon Slasher - Starts in 9 framaes - Deals 80 damage
Hp Moon Slasher - Starts in 11 frames - Deals 90 damage

PC version confirmed

I play 2002UM on Steam because the normal 2002 is really broken. The best one to play on Fightcade is probably 98, but even in that case, 98UM is better.

I haven't seen today, but 2002UM was like 4 bucks a couple of days ago in the "anime week".

She got really popular with the Chinese overlords because of her pachinko machine. Also, from all characters in Samurai Shodown, she's one of the few that don't feel totally alien in KOF.

Would you rather have had Samurai Shodown V Superstar Rasetsumaru?

dont you mean he would like to have SSVSP tony hawk instead?

Hello fellow Clark player, feels good to have the Stomping (f-b) and the Mount Tackle back (hcf-p). And they even kept our Step (f-bd)! It will rain Ikari over here and people will get backbreaked!

The rest of my team is still a mistery. I usually had the long ranged charge character, Heidern or Ash and my anchor kept changing, Shen Woo in XIII and K' in 2002UM.

So, I'll try K', even if he doesn't get as good as he was in 2002UM.

However, Clark is the only member of my team that will never leave.

CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE
a.k.a Yes, there will be PC version

Nigga, Nakoruru was mascot status just like Terry. She's probably just behind Mai and maybe Athena in popularity.

I thought it was because Athena was the only girl that was not on the Woman Fighters Team. They needed more cute girls like Leona and Kasumi to sell the game. And change the game so it's not a Street Fighter clone with many similar characters like the Art of Fighting Team and Kyo&Iori

Not in KoF 98

...

He's just very straightforward as a character. If you would have said Iori instead of Heidern I would have believed you.

I don't know in 98UM, mostly because there's not a real tier list for that game. But in 2002UM he's top tier and one of the most played characters. 95 too. In 98 they nerfed him too hard.

S: K', Nameless, Kasumi

A: King, Kula, Andy, EX Robert, Orochi Chris, Benimaru, Yuri, Hinako, Heidern

B: Bao, Jhun, Mature, Lin, Chris, Ryo, Kusanagi, Foxy, Daimon

C: Iori, Orochi Shermie, Choi, Yamazaki, EX Takuma, Mai, Seth, Leona, Clark, Kyo, Terry, Blue Mary, Kyo-2, Kim, Xiangfei, Joe

D: Shingo, Kensou, EX Kensou, Takuma, Ralf, Robert, Billy, Yashiro, Orochi Yashiro, Chin, Angel, Shermie, Vice, Athena, Ramon, Whip　

E: May Lee, Maxima, Chang, Kyo-1, Vanessa

However, his theme is the toppest of tiers in all games

I just feel bad for Maxima, there's always that guy who plays him like a god, but he never left the bottom part of the tier list.

I admit I sperged a bit. Didn't consider the line might not fit.
It's probably my favorite line in the movie. One of the few moments in a movie that always makes laugh out loud.

Leona, Vice and Mature was the original idea but Luong seems to sate both my Yamazaki and waifufag needs, I'm curious about Hein, Love Heart, Mian and Zarina, the tournament reminded me I liked Choi a lot in my '99 days, Kukri looks interesting and I like Sylvie more than I'll ever admit.
All things considered, I'm not as bootybothered about my favorite characters that are missing as I was.

My dick misses her.

Also I just showed my cousin Blazing Saddles since he'd never seen it. I forgot how many anachronistic references/jokes were in it, but fuck is it funny still.

Good taste.

Yeah, the movie gets really crazy and that without even counting the last brawl breaking into studios.
That said, despite how funny it is, I feel a tad sorry for Mel Brooks as he outlived almost all of his comedy troupe colleagues.

Unless someone else is as autistic with organizing their smut, I dare say that's "muh filename".
Oh well, since I'm at it…

So, I bought 2002UM on a Steam Sale this weekend. I was bored with SFV and I kept seeing this thread showing up on Holla Forums, so I thought that it should be a good idea to give this game a chance.

XIII was also on sale, but in the discussion on the Steam page, someone said that XIII was not a good starting/transition point for someone interested in XIV.

I can't remember exactly, but I played one of the old ones a couple of times on the arcades back in the day (I think it was 96) and I saw today a video tutorial on youtube about hops, superhops, jumps and so on.

So, I thought that I would try some characters. Get the feel of the game. And get it going. I cranked the AI difficulty to the max and got all the way to the Boss.

Felt good about myself and went online. Created a room. And spent the last 2 hours having my ass handed to me by strangers with KOF related names.

So, help a brother here people. How do I get good in this game. Heck, How do I even get descent in this game?

As a side note, I was playing with King, Vanessa and Leona. But just because I think they are hot.

You're already descending the ladder though.

Jokes aside, is there some specific problem you know you're having? That would help more than just generic "halp halp". Are you suffering from not reading moves? Being crossed up? Not knowing what you have is safe?

Oh, cough DECENT.

I'm having trouble reacting to aggresion. It all looks too fast, If I'm receiving wall pressure, I can't react. On the other hand, when I can attack I'm having trouble with the confirms and I end up mashing to confirm an input.

I saw a Leona tutorial and it showed me a simple combo that looks great. It start with the jump in, usually with Heavy Punch, and as soon as I land, I input the Heavy Kick, and cancel into Front Light Kick. However, at least half of the time, I can't cancel. Leona just hits the Heavy Kick.

I probably did other things totally wrong, but those I could feel myself doing it like a newb.

You probably have bad habits derived from playing Street Fighter. If you're getting pushed into the corner, you're blocking too much. If you can't react to pressure, you've been playing slow games.
Do you know how to counter hops? Do you know if you can counter stuff with Down+C/D? Do you know if you can counter stuff with Standing+C/D? Do you know when to DP? Do you know when to roll? Do you know when to block+CD?

Now, about the Leona thing, and about hits in general in KoF, you can only cancel stuff on hit, and there is a small buffer window that happens a little bit before the combo actually hits. If you miss that buffer window or the earlier hit doesn't hit, nothing comes out.

Nice trap

I'm sure I have bad habits derived from Street Fighter.

I know that I have to jab hops. I could never do it. My mind see a Iori running like the devil on my direction and I panic. The game seems too fast.

Of course, I only played a total of 5 hours of it and I'm one of those madmen that play Tetris The Grand Master 3 for fun. So I know that I could technically react to those things. But I'm usually thinking about what I am going to do when they attack me. So… yeah…

That's scrub talk, son.

If you want some cheap wins, take the initiative, and make your oppenent to block until you get some bars. If someone jumps at you, block+CD, that's your "get out of jail for free" card. And never, ever, stop attacking.
The thing with KoF is that you need a good offensive. If you can't get a good offensive, an aggresive one will do. But you'll get blown up by the people that knows their shit.

Video from Hueland doing some comparisons between XIV, XIII, 2002UM… and Wing for some reason.

No, like, when I tried, it didn't work. At best I traded. However, I'm seeing some games on youtube and taking some notes. I'll get back here if I get nothing from the videos.

The fuck is Wing?

Apparently a flash game styled after KoF. Also similarly named are the shitty mugen games like KoF Wings of Justice, and King of Fighters Zillion.

nice second pic i didn't knew MI2 had official artbooks, now i need to get them somehow

I ve been out of here for the last month and a couple days, i ve noticed the "no lewds policy" is being aggressively reinforced, do we have new cucks in charge of that?

Learn the fundamentals first then select your waifu team and practice a lot with them.

Check the video, really good for newcomers.

You can post lewds but you have to use spoilers, just don't abuse porn dumping because that usually derails threads.

Actually, it wasn't lewd, but i double posted the same pic.
I used the delete file option and accidentally deleted both of them.
Pic related.

Oh nice quad and dubs

since we're posting lewds, I couldn't pass up this one with King.

CHECKED

Does anyone know if remote play works with KoF 2000 on the PS4?

I might get it if it does.

I need that comparison pic of angel from the first trailer and how the graphics got better as the new ones got released.
Pretty please!

Here. I have this one.

FUCKING CHECKED

How to get gud at KOF

Step 1
Find three waifus and play only with them

Step 2
Don't worry, even if you lose. You still have three waifus

Step 3
Judge other people waifus.

Step 4
Jab hops, low jabs and hop lows.

Step 5
Road to Evo big boy. Get on it!

...

We can have fit girls doing manly thingd, though.

What if we do both

That looks uncomfortable as fuck but I can't stop laughing.

Never got an internal server error posting here before. Hmm.

Buff boys can be waifus too. Don't hate.

I would fuck Ash…

You misspelled sexy as fuck

literal misogyny.jpg
10/10

I keep trying to post an appropriate picture but h8chan hates me.

Nigga, I hope you aren't calling Ash buff.

Well, Ash is buff for a lady

does anyone know if the "rush" for mashing square is optional or what?

if it works like it does in the persona fighters i'm gonna be pretty put off

Some people in the previous threads said that it seem that you can disable it and just play regularly.
It's mostly a crutch for scrubs and newfags.

okay good, i really didn't like it in the persona fighter games because you still had to start half your combos with an auto combo

Also, ignore my flag.

KOF games on ps2 such as 98 UM, 2002UM, KOF XI and i am not sure if their anthologies,
all of them included a preset short combo in one of the shoulder buttons, and some like 2002UM have the option to create your own frame perfect macro combos using a built in editor

I can see how it needs to be disabled so you don't fuck up your inputs tho.

yeah i have XI on ps2 and turned that off in favor of grab or something

i could never get my local friends to play more KOF though so i never gut gud at it

We need to create a 2002UM training team to get ready for XIV.

It should be called "Getting Gud for KOF XIV".

I'm not kidding. I need to get better, it should be nice to get online and play against "normal" players not the experienced players that get on ladder.

If only I had better internet, I'd be down as fuck.

KOF13 will always be the best in my heart.

Is pic related looking to be a good character in KoF XIV?

Billy Kane is usually a simple character with good range and short combos. He will be a good online character because of lag but I don't think he will be the first option for zoners.

Unlike Terry, he didn't get anything new on XIV and is pretty much the same since the NESTS saga. If you like him in those games, you'll do fine.

If you want to get on tournaments, you should look into King. She's a character that fill the same role and is more versatile. However, Billy Kane should be a viable option regardless of min-maxing.

DAMN
Angel is so fucking hot… god dammit

Mixing your team is nice and all, but nothing tops the cute girls being in control.

Pardon the filenames, just grabbed em quick and I don't autistically rename them.

New teaser trailer when

Well, I can see why, they're not very straightforward. Time to practice and get good, I guess.

I destroy top ranked "MUH TIER" fags online all the fucking time with "shit tier fighters" like Shingo, Vanessa or Shermie.

Seriously, drop that MUH TIER tourney faggotry and just pick the fighters you enjoy, it takes a LOT of time to actually see progress in KoF and if you aren't enjoying the ride you are simply not going to stick with the game long enough to see real improvement.

Also, i can't stress enough how important is to practice the game basics all the fucking time(check this ) because if you fuck up a single block, jump or dodge against a veteran player there is a high chance of you getting your anus completely torn in one single long-ass combo.

You missed the part where I said 'Time to get good and practice', huh? I know tiers are more based on how many people use them, so I'm trying to find how to use these guys because they're not about throwing my face at the opponent until one of us dies.

I never knew you could grab someone out of a roll in this game, holy shit that makes me feel empowered.

Tier in KOF is only really relevant in tournaments or in the case of some older titles, when some character is clearly unfinished (Ralf on XIII), and then they will show in the "unplayable" tier.

Both UMs are really well balanced for a fighting game. I don't think there is single character that is completely unplayable on them. Even shit tier semi-joke characters like Kyo-1 and Kyo-2 are game.

What you have to keep in mind though. Is that most waifus are not straightforward characters. Leona is a fast charge character that can punish jumpers like nobody else. Angel is an input monster with a wall of text in the command normals list, and you MUST know them all. Vanessa dashes around the screen like a megaman X character and must use invencibility frames to approach the opponent. Yuri is a bad Shoto, so if you try to play her as a Ryu, she will be bad. However if you learn her movements and the many juggle options, she shines.

The only waifu that really is on the easier side of things is Kasumi, because even Athena rellies on hop combos and quick cancels.

Probably today. Before the official trailer, they always released it at thursdays.

nah, you lie all the time on the internet because youre a loser irl and on the internet

So close.

Angel is a terrifying input monster, and I'm trying to whip things but I don't know what cancels into what, so I'm gonna try to keep practicing and look up more combos to get comfortable with playing her.

Speaking of Tiers, I wonder how much Just Defend will affect tiers.

Maybe Maxima will finally break mid tier for once.

That's why it's really important to practice the basics constantly, one single bad "reflex roll" can make you lose in a very embarrassing way.

I play angel a lot and honestly she's more fun than good, her combos are anything but reliable and even when you pull everything right she doesn't deal that much damage.

I hope she gets a small "rework" for XIV with more lenient combo inputs and a little damage boost.

Sure feels like leddit around here. Reminds me of that one time where i was searching something on the leddit page of a f2p weeb i was playing and everyone was like

i think you are in the wrong site mang

We don't like your waifu hater kind around here

...

...

I have nothing against people having waifus m8. Only when someone starts calling every girl character in a game waifu unironically my triggers get oiled.

Just because I like Whip the most doesn't mean other people can't like Luong or Angel or Kasumi. Besides, Whip a cute.

No. They're not your waifus. Leave them alone.

Fuck off and post SNK then, faggot.

How about V&M? I'm thinking of learning them in XIV.

How many weeks after release of KoF XIV will the waifufags and hipsters give up on the game after pretending to get into it?

I read it now. You haven't read my previous post either. I posted how i hate when someone misuses the term and you go tell me how everyone has different tastes. What the fuck does that has to do with my post?

Speaking of SNK
98 will remain my favourite KOF forever.

Sweet sweet incest

Dude, getting triggered is bad for your health. You'll get fat and you'll dye your hair rainbow and, when you least expect, you will say that someone needs to check his privilege.

At that point is terminal.

They are not that hard. Mature is great battery with her multiple hits specials and good zoning options. Vice is an utility grappler, unlike pure grapplers, like Daimon and such, you have lot of options for neutral and ranged game.

They are both good characters if that's want you want to know, and if you want to learn some characters, those two are sure bets.

God dammit I want to see how Geese's butler plays already.

How long did they last for SFV?

I'm saying we're not misusing the term. We're in an SNK thread. There's bound to be people who desperately like/waifu characters from SNK games. Unless you're trying to say it's not waifuing hard enough or something.

Ryo's face makes that picture perfect.

Also, they're not actually related so it's fine. Clones and gene manipulation and shit.

It's inevitable but, on the bright side, there's always the people who come for the waifus and stay for the gameplay.

In terms of characters with little appearances, I think my little disappointment is that I never got to play Krauser outside emulating '96. I admit I like that gilded puff; SNK immediately won me over with the use of Mozart's requiem.
After that, yeah, there's certainly a ton of characters I wish were in XIV or, if fortune wills it, will be in XV.

I played V&M before but only on a very superficial level, mostly messing around against the AI.
I remember in a previous thread, a user (maybe you) explained some basic ideas about character positioning and I got the idea that Mature would be a good battery, Vice for mid and, my choice at the time, Leona for anchor for burning all the meter.
Alas, now that I know Luong is a better Yamazaki, I have to fit her in the equation. While it doesn't seem like Luong has a lot of multi-hitters, she seems the type who can be a nuisance just keeping the opponent out with her normals and leggy Snake Tamer so I imagine she's a good battery choice.

Ditto. Hein is the character I'm looking forward to the most.
But Hein or no, I'm disappointed there was no trailer today. SNK really spoiled me rotten.

Is KOF 98 UM and KOF 2002 UM on steam worth a buy?

Well, I bought tem both. KOF 2002UM even has some online play. However, they are both great to play with friends and to git gud with the series.

And if you are really good, I believe DreamCancel hosts some 2002UM tournaments. So you can even get some tourney action

No, what you must know is the the general rules of her chains, there's no need to learn what individual continues do as they're combo fodder anyway

I wish my waifu would make a return.

Give them time, look how often they mention a Garou sequel now.

After KoF XIV and the new Samurai Shodown they'll probably do a Garou sequel. Then she'll comeback

I would like to meet the genius that decided to lock the moves list until you win an achievement or beat the game.
Playing Fatal Fury and aside from jump kicking, punching and doing a throw punch i have absolutely no idea what the fuck i am doing while my enemies are shooting tornadoes out of their assholes and whatnot.
Really top notch game design decision right there.

Jenet is pretty neat, I liked playing as her in XI. Also, a literal pirate which is cool.

Fireball motions on everyone, usually works for me. That's still fucking retarded though.

The first Fatal Fury is Fatal Fury Special. The two that came before were just tech demos for game design.

Don't even try. Go straight to Special. The plot is the same, so you won't lose in the story.

And still no Darkstalkers

Haven't a few of the Darkstalkers devs left capcom for SNK, I know Neo_G did but I'm pretty sure there is a few more.

you're lucky to have any movelist available in-game, most of old fighting games didn't even had them in the manual to push guide sales

Holy shit this game is awesome.

And you were right about fireball motion

I'm also lucky that the game is now giving me a move input on loading screens.

I hope that Chinese Overlords find in their hearts to make Angel have a happy face when she's grabbed like this, like I-no having a turned on look when she gets butt poked in Xrd.

Glad you get to enjoy the classics, user.

And because I'm back at my battlestation, have more of best girl.

I really miss Whip. I know it's kind of irrelevant to have her and Billy Kane in the same game since they share so many moves. But, if I had to choose, it would take Whip all day everyday.

Not only that, but I think she would make a better third party member for the K' team.

Kula can have the NESTS team now that Angel is back. And to make it even sexier, the third member should be Nameless.

They're both in 2k3, so I don't see why they can't be together in the same game again. Maybe when 15 comes out, Whip will be back.

Or maybe we'll get a 3D brawler with SNK girls. Who knows.

They sure can! but XIV went out of their way to avoid having characters with similar styles. Even the Kyokugen chars play completely different.

That's why we don't have Vanessa or Yamazaki. Because the game already has Nelson and Luong. So, unless something change in the near future. We will only have one of them in each installment.

And that's one of the reasons I want to see Alice trailer. I wonder if she will break that trend and she'll be a Terry clone, or if she's going to be a brand new char.

I hope they give her some moves that Terry had on Garou. If she's able to perform the Power Dunk and the Power Charge, I'll main her.

Oh. Right, forgot they were cleaning up cruft.

GET RID OF BILLY, GIVE ME BACK WHIP!

ikr

It's like I'm starting from square one again

And Muricans will have a chance to play the game this month.

So, I guess if you live near Chicago, you can go there, play the game, maybe even get qualified for a future tournament and most importantly, rub on the face of all europeans and latin americans on 8ch about how fortunate you are for being born on the right country.

Got a source for this, or are you just talking bullshit? Nobody ever bought a guide for a fighting game back in the day, we found those moves ourselves and figured things out by testing and trying.

I'm not , but I can answer.

Well. I was alive at the time. And the arcades had no command list. I learned what to do buying gaming mags or by asking other players who had bought mags.

In some rare cases, the owner of the arcade had a guide that you could ask. But that only happened once for me, and it was on the expensive arcade, I always went to the cheap ones because I was a kid and they were always packed with other players.

Also, from time to time, real fights would happen because of something that happened on the game

When it comes to KOF, the first one I ever saw with the command list was 99. Not surprisingly, it was the first one I actually got good

So was I, as mentioned. However, that doesn't equate on underhanded tactics to market guides.

Every Neo-Geo fighting game came with those command list stickers. It's their own fault if the operators were too lazy to display them.

(I've got a bunch still new in-box.)

I understand that the point of arcade cabinets was to steal money from people, but i got to fight number 3 and the computer is already sucking sickening amounts of dicks, it's overwhelming at times

I kinda just want to punch shit super hard so Ryo, Ralf, and Terry.

But on a serious note, I don't know. I'm always gonna have Terry as my safety net as I explore the entire cast for a team. I'm pretty excited to see what Alice's moveset looks like. Might play Luong as a way to ease myself into the game's speed and feel, since she looks like someone who is just fine with a simple style of play. Muimui might be my girl if she ends up being this game's version of Jam, I loved Jam in GG.

That or I may just play Team South Town. I'm a fan of Billy, I'd love to git gud at Geese and shout PREDICTABO like an autistic manchild, and butler man looks like a classy motherfucker.

How decent of a port was the KoF Collection on PSP?

I know the Metal Slug Anthology had some framerate problems

jubei and tung is the hardest to play against their AI when i did a Terry playthrough

Dude, Metal Slug had framerate problems. It's not the anthology. However, the Orochi Saga on PSP is actually quite good. Because you get not only the Orochi games, but also 94 and 98. The only problem is that it is the original arcade versions of those games, so, with the exception of 98, they are all terribly unbalanced. And even 98 have a way better version with 98UM.

But it's cool. It's the original experience from back in the day.

If you have friends, the network play is actually quite good. You won't find random games of course.

Oh, just so you have about 1 minute of loading when you select one of the games

I think I'm in the mood for some NGPC emulation now. Should play Gal Fighters since I've never actually done so. And of course, because I can unlock best girl.

To add to this, Metal Slug (2 especially) running in an emulator on modern i7s have framerate problems. It's just the way it taxed the Neo-Geo. Most KoF games were fine, and run fine in almost any Neo-Geo emulator.

The PSP version had more framerate problems than the originals and the console releases of it. The psp version also had input lag with the UMD version.

Just 1 minute for when you pick a game and that's it? Or is it like Darkstalkers 3 on PS1 with 1 minute load times per match?

Dude, never UMD. NEVER EVER.

1 minute for game. Like, you pick King of Fighters 98, it takes around 1 minute to load the game. Unless you are playing with the UMD, between matches it takes around 5 seconds. It's actually faster than it was on PS2.

The controls are also very good on 97 and 98. Previous games have not so great controls, but if you played them back in the day you know how bad the controls for some of them were, so it's a problem with the actual game, not the port. I, personally, think that 94 is unplayable. 95 and 96 are okay.

I'm a retard and just remembered there's also a fan game that's been out for a while if anyone wants to play around with the source code: KoF Flames of Courage. It runs on Windows, Linux, not sure if Mac Bennu binaries work, Wii, and possibly original Xbox but I don't remember.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad stuff like this exists, but god damn is this some janky shit.

Yeah, it's not the greatest. The source is out there somewhere, and I might have it on an old box. I wanted to look at it some more and get it closer to working state. I played it on my Wiz last time I tried it so it was janky programming plus not the greatest controls. I was thoroughly unimpressed but interested in the source.

makes me wonder of the development of KOF Wing.
KOF Zillion was going to be big back in 2009 but chinese dude lost all his the best KOF sprite projects back in the day due to hdd failure with no backup and then he quit mugen, KOFZ slowly died with mugenchina.
KOF Wing is trying to be it's successor but it feels really off.

????

Does anyone have any tips for using Billy/Benimaru/K9999 in KOF 2002?

...

I have a 50mb webm of her but its too large to post.

Isn't Wing made in flash? That alone would make me run away. But hey, if it runs well, cool. Might be another game to try.

I'm actually surprised people keep making this stuff for Mugen. I thought Kuromaru was the only one.

thats the dumb thing about it
KOF Wing has like 2 different games made by 2 different developers
the good one is developed on mugen
the bad one is made on shitty flash

Oh. The Mugen one sounds alright then, since I've played with some half decent Mugen made characters. 9ball's Melty Blood characters are pretty good, and there were a few mass projects that turned out alright, so this looks like it could be good then.

I want to do pic related but I have no idea which order or if it comprises a solid group per the meta. Someone like king of dinosaurs could make a good point right?

general question, has the dp input changed or gotten easier to do over the years? I notice in KOF XIII and SFIV + 5 I do it sucessfully almost 100 percent of the time. While when I try to play SF2 on fightcade I can barely do it.

oh that's why some of the light moves come out multiple times when you hit the button once?

Many fightans have increased the leniency of inputting a DP as F->D->F as well as the usual F->D->DF. I find I get them a lot when trying to double fireball.

I know Maxima will be on my team for sure, he's been there since 99.

Might pick up Nakoruru if she plays closely to how she does in Samurai Shodown.

Geese will probably fill the last spot if I'm not too rusty with him, if I am I'll just got with Ryo or Mature.

Gotta actually play the new characters before I pick them up.

AI did this to me and i can't seem to replicate it

That's a hell of a hop

Yep, that's what i noticed too when Sylvie was first announced.
I guess someone at snk has a soft spot for her and WW7.

I think that's close range C but without the throw input.

Billy Kane is a simple character. Keep your distance, you have great zoning and movement options. When you get close, your combos should be kept simple. Your command normals should lead into a special or a super. Basic character. Basic KOF.

Benimaru is also a basic character, but he's more unique to KOF. He's very reliant on combos and very aggresive. Unlike Billy, you want to be on the face of your opponent and you want to be pressuring all the time. Beni doesn't stop to breath and neither should you. Your neutral game is pressure, footsies, quick combos, and when you have a confirm, go all the way. Beni is a great anchor.

K9999 is weird, he has fairly useful tools to fight off fireball-happy characters. His qcb+D can be used to easily jump over ground projectiles on reaction and if close enough, and done quickly enough, it can punish them. qcf+A is also fast and can negate ground and air projectiles in front of K9999. His db hcb df+K can be somewhat difficult to do, so it is important to practice executing this move consistently and as quickly as possible. While his DMs are hard, if you can learn to do them pretty quickly they can be of great use. His gun DM, db hcb df+K will negate and go through normal and DMprojectiles. The sphere DM, db hcb df+P is a great anti-air, as it is invincible and quick. The gun DM can be used as an anti-air as well, but it is not guaranteed that all of the hits will make contact, and the opponent may have the opportunity to punish you. Once again, it is imperative that you practice doing these two DMs as quickly as possible on reaction, otherwise they will not be of use.

Right now, I only care about style since I don't know exactly how those characters will play. So this is my "looks only" team. Hopefully they will be good enough to be competitive.

K' - CLARK - LEONA

I would love to play Angel, but my old man brain never allowed me to git gud with her

How are the load times for KoF 99 on the PS1? I need a cheap SNK fix for my vita while I wait for The Last Blade 2.

Miss X is worst girl, though.

If they make a Miss X DLC costume for Iori in KoF XIV, I would buy it like a good goy.

As would I.

Just realized no one answered your question: As far as I know, if you're playing from a memory card, the load times aren't going to be bad, but the actual port I wouldn't expect to be very good. Never played the PS1 version of KoF but every Capcom fighter on it is awful compared to the arcade release.

Wouldn't that be transphobic? If it gets those jackasses riled up, I can toss some shekels for the cause.

I read a few reviews around while I waited then bought it cause it was just 6 bucks.

Load times ended up being nowhere near as bad as capcom fighters, 6 to 10 seconds at the most and the animations are a little bit choppy compared to the arcade release. Other than that it's getting the job done so far.

It's a pain in the ass to summon your striker if you don't change to simple controls though.

SNK doesn't care, have some old salt;
archive.is/WDXJz

There aren't enough words to say how delicious that salt is. The best part is, a lot of these complaints are just minor tidbits that the author decided was a front against humanity. Eiher way, SNK can stay based.

Good to see that port isn't bad though.

So this is what Yuki's wish means…

Uh… that's going to be gud.

Never played Bikini Karate Babes?

Everytime is time to oggle to a woman's titties. That's a fact. I saw some sexy tits in my time as an undertaker (not kidding).

IT'S CURRENT YEAR!!!!

Wait, Ash Crimson is not fanservicey enough?! The guy was MADE for asian chicks to have something to slap their pussy! The guy is so far away from the "power fantasy" of men, that we consider him a chick.

As a Huelander, and knowing that it is the Huehue stage. I'm okay with that. We are actually very good at taking a joke.

So, don't say nothing. I don't need your pity.

That's actually, no joking, hilarious. And I like pretty boys! I would hit a trap without any sort of resentment.

You have no money buy whiskey. Stop lying. It's probably Nightrain.

No, it's to evoke laughter. And it worked. It's nobody's fault that you lack the sense of humor.

Liking R.Mika? I knew you would.

What part of bisexual mixed race huelander make me a white elite?! Are you oppressing me with your privilege? You need to speak for me because I'm inferior and incapable of knowing what offends me?

Racist cunt

Yeah, I know but in [CURRENT YEAR +1: THE CURRENTING], shitstorms seem to take off much quicker.

Though, I'm surprised Mai came back more stacked than ever and besides preemptive virtue-signaling ("oh gee whiz, I hope Mai is dressed like a real person this time!"), haven't seen anything. I guess it's because SNK is simply focusing on presenting the game without acknowledging any of that bullshit. Nowadays, nip devs seem to have been fooled into thinking they owe that crowd any satisfaction and start yapping about "cultural difference" and "fantasy setting" and, like fuckin' clockwork, that's when SJWs smell blood.

In other news, I've now beaten Gal Fighters with half the main cast. 4 more runs through arcade mode and I unlock best girl.

Oh. Apparently I only need to beat Arcade mode with 8 different characters to get best girl. Beat Arcade mode with Yuki once, 7 main girls, and now best girl is unlocked.

Some of these shots are good reactions. I need to get the one of Athena saying "I'll bop you!"

Stop eating my posts hotwheels.

Why does this makes me so happy? Anyone else?.

You are gonna have to be more specific hombre

SNK coming back to life and all, gringo.

Because your national sport is becoming relevant again.

I just wanna see Reynald wreck shit in KOF XIV.

Because it's like seeing an old friend that has been hospitalized for years finally showing major signs of recovery.

or some SNK employee bumped into a Konami employee and they told them "Always do the exact opposite of what Konami does"

This is more true than I expected.

no Alfred and White ever again ;_;
then new Garou revives them but older

are an actual huelander currently residing in the land of huehueland?
how is KOFXIV being received there, good or bad? i hope it's good there because they are catering to you guys with the new characters

All you need to do is look at the comment section of the Youtube videos. I believe it is the most hyped game over here in quite some time. Every Huelander over 25 that went to arcades has KOF as a golden standard for fightans.

The moment they announce the PC version, the game will have a boost so big on the pre-orders that the SNK CEO will develop arrhythmia.

About the characters, we still have no official confirmation if Nelson or Zarina are brazilians, but we love Bandeiras. If they confirm that Leona is also a Huelander, we will close our largests streets and make a giant SNK parade on the very next day.

very good to hear
please continue hue up online play and hue your support for SNK
hopefully younger ones would follow you veterans and play the game on the long run

It hurts

That's physically painful.

Almost as painful as playing Gals Fighters with the analog stick in Neo Pop. But hey, I did want to try the netcode in it since RetroArch doesn't have that in it. I'll try some local network matches and see if it works well. Maybe I'll learn netcode this way and see if we can get some NGPC stuff going. I know netplay Card Fighters is my #1 priority in that case.

Use waifu2x

I will never understand why do people that obviously don't know and don't care about something, in this case snk and kof, feel the need to sperg out and spit out their stupidity for the whole world to see.
I doubt that this retard knows that girls love Mai just as man do and that she made the cosplay culture explode in popularity as well as bringing actual grills to the fightan.
Not to mention that snk never shied away from making top tier fucbois and manly mans alongside girls.

...

So 'muricans, what are you waiting?

And here I thought I was the only one who wanted to see Alexander deLarge back. He'd be easy to re-implement as a "obviously going to turn on him at any moment" lackey of Geese.

They're all clearly male power fantasies and women only flick their beans to novels so "checkmate, misogynerds!" or whatever.
But yeah, nip devs pander to female audiences.

I think you underestimate how large our country is. Otherwise I would totally go.

I sincerely want to see SJWs defend Ash Crimson being a male power fantasy.

Combo breaker is literally over 2K miles from where I live. I'm not spending $1,000+ for a round trip flight and a hotel for 3 days to play KoF.
Locals are where it's at anyway. We got a small scene in my town but every friday night we get together (usually 8-10 of us) to practice. I'm still garbage at KoF but I'm the best out of all of us at SamSho.

I tried before I posted, it didn't fly so good.

Nigga I live in Canada and I can't take any time off work until September

MALE POWER FANTASY AHOY

MALE POWER FANTASY I GUESS

SEE, I TOLD YOU IT WAS A MALE POWER FANTASY

I don't understand why SNK made us fight Warez in NGBC. Pirates are pretty hot.

Indeed. We will drink Guaraná and Cachaça while we play old arcades running the PC version. Hell, I have one almost ready in my home.
And if they confirm Zarina is HU3, the nips will be responsible for the creation of three of the best new ladies one after the other, with TK Katarina Alves and SF Laura Matsuda.

Good to hear hues still keeping the fightan culture. Here in Turkey things are dire. Every arcade here, even most of the playstation cafes have been replaced with cheap internet cafes with only assfaggots and the newest f2p online shooter installed. When talking to someone of your age about games they barely remember the good old times of 97 and 98, as the only fightan our people remember are SF2 and MK. My friends think i'm some extremely lonely but pro gamer who sits and plays for 10 hours straight just because I like older games and fightan. And don't get me started on our kids, they dismiss you the instant you tell them they should sometime play anything other than assfaggots.

I envy you fuckers. Arcade games, especially SNK titles have been big here too but for some reason they're no more remembered.

user, I'm so sorry. I wish there wasa way we could help you get rid of the brain damaged children and get them into decent games. I'm lucky I have a core group that's up for all fightans between us. If only we had an actual arcade near us though.

I'll tell you the huelander secret. We've been so mistreated by every single other company, that SNK looks like our lord and saviour by comparison. SNK was already releasing the games in huelander portuguese (broken huelander, but still cool) way before Capcom even cared to officially release their games over here.

SNK cared… and we remember.
The Hue Remembers!

I wish my country would get a kof team.

Ok cheese-eating surrender monkeys, time to show the world that you can get into KOF XIV too.

KOF XIV will be on May 20th/21st/22nd on Rennes and there will be a tournament.

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men?

Have they shown off this stage before yet or is it new?

I haven't watched the streams, so I don't know if it was revealed in those tournaments, but it looks cool. Aircraft carrier stages are always a favorite.

It appeared on the official reveal trailer. It's the Ikari stage. It seems to be based on the USS Independence, and it would be really cool if it really is the Independence on the game. That means that just before KOF XIV started, the Ikari Warriors stole an aircraft carrier from the US naval scrapyard.

About the plane, even with my military porn knowledge, I can't pinpoint exactly what it was based upon. It looks like a Sukhoi Su-27, but those usually have a flat undernose. Maybe someone else can give you the accurate base model.

Missed it in the trailer then, huh.
Pretty sure you're spot on, pic related.

Alas, the curse of life is the curse of want.
Incidentally, I hope we get a character trailer tomorrow.

Stop being so dead

I love it

Goro is prime reaction image material

I never thought Goro had eyeballs.

Anywho, looks like this will be the new trailer format. Nice way to catch up on all the already revealed. IIRC every team but K' and Ikari has a character to formally reveal.

I've gotten slightly less shit at using Whip in 2k2, hooray! Still need to remember all her punches are whip strikes that are slower than molasses. Dropped Angel for now in favor of May Lee. All kicks is nice and having a quick high kick from crouching is amazing. Trying out Kyo-2 but I was never good with Kyo of any game, so I don't think playing the older moveset will help.

He's only like that when fighting. He's pretty normal when chilling with his friends.

Well, at least we can expect Mature next week, right?

Also I'm stuck in a "please enter captcha" loop. And can only post using proxy. It's been two weeks since I last posted normally.
