KOF XIII Announced

How long is the location test for?
I may have some more questions for you

 

its gonna be till this sunday. And to be honest I don't feel like going. The reason is I feel like I saw every thing they offer with the game in term of gameplay. So no need for me to go back and waste money. Beside I have Soccer to attend too.

sorry

oh, forgot to mention one more thing.

you can cancel you special moves into another as long as you have your hyper drive gauge filled.

 

I couldnt agree more with that honestly. I cant stand the hideous fking face of yuri its like the guys in SNK hate girls or think they are freaking dolls or something, and whats the deal with some males forehead(like andy, robert,etc) they are freaking huge like one of the conehead guys.

About the gameplay i cant complain to me looks rather good, i dont hate the idea of an actually remake of a kof other than a new kof.

i liked what they did with the old stages and im really liking the elephants one pretty amazing.

- The charging C+D and combos from C+D attacks from KOFXII are gone.
- The elephants from the India stage looks CG, very beautiful.
- The Paris stage with the fat ladies from KOFXII now has Arc de Triomphe in the background.
- Duolon's SDM is super annoying, always catches jumping opponents off-guard.
-Clark's Argentine Backbreaker SDM now looks more like his classic move where he backbreaks & slam his opponents into the floor, unlike in KOFXII where he just knee drop them at the end.
- Terry has an alternate color that makes him look like Robert.
- And Robert too has an alternate color that makes him look like Terry
- Yuri has an alternate color that makes her look like Iroha from Samurai Showdown.
- Benimaru has an alternate color which makes his arms silver metallic in color, dark pants & topless, so he looks like Jax from Mortal Kombat (?!)

Thanks to Finaika from GAF.

 

Enough to get me interested.

(why doesn't sega give Sarah some King-like items? That'd be top tier.)

 

Wth King looks like a GIRL??? Are they mad!?

Now bring back New Faces Team and Vice and we talk, SNK-P slackers! Yeah I know they are supposed to be dead, but SO WAS GOUKEN and Elvis and nobody really cares .

Also, Angel would look beast with those revamped graphics... Even Yuri started to look... bearable somehow, which is like "goddess-like" for her. Crazy times .

 

This KOF seems to be going back to its roots. Definitely day 1 for me, and I think it will be great.

Some claims console port will be out this year shortly after console release, may import in that case.

I just want to say, this game is sounding amazing. And I am more than looking forward to it.

 

^Dunno, it's actually being really well received right now from the Loke tests. Game really is on a whole nother level compared to 12 already. And they've implemented systems that OG KoF fans wanted in 12 to begin with. I have a feeling it will end up doing as well as a SNK game can haha.

I'm impressed.

Be glad when this hits this year (supposed to be late this year)

SBO will be the judge of whether the game is worthy though.

 

Wow, they took out the zoom??? That looks really bad. That shit looks like something off of Super Nintendo! XII was an OK game and I didn't mind the larger character models. Now, they just look EXACTLY the same as they did before so I guess all the time supposedly spent on upgrading the art went out the window.

Why is SNK so damn bad now? I'm honestly shocked by how bad the graphics look. The character sprites are so tiny now it looks like a 10+ year old game.

 

I want to know what magical SNES Gernburgs has.

 

^First person I've seen voice that they are upset they took out the zoom haha. And you're sincere about the graphics looking bad?

Looks gorgeous to me. Much more clean-cut. The sprites have great fluid movements, lots of movement, good effects too. Stages are great. Maybe look at other 2D games from the past a bit to see the difference. Even looking at KoF 2002 it's like wow lol.

EDIT: In-fact, preference for art direction aside, I'd say it's the best looking 2D fighter yet. And this is coming from seeing youtube vids capping out at 720 P. Bet it looks even better in person on a proper TV.

 

I guess I'm just surprised that they decided to make the sprites smaller again. I thought the art style of XII was a redeeming quality it had. I will give you this: the hyper drive system is looking pretty cool. By the looks of it, people will be doing some ridiculous combos.

 

Remember, that Drive gauge is Maxed out for DEMO purposes.

 

Don't know if this was posted already, and it's kind of an obvious thing, but on SNK-P homepage you can view moving stance sprites from the available teams.

I didn't think I'd find myself saying that, but... they are beautiful

Please let this game be good...
