Said it before and I'll say it again, people need to just post even if it's a random SNK thought/question in their head, insulting someone's waifu or whatever. It isn't just XIV news.
your waifu sucks
>>172591882

i want to smooch all over sylvie's tummy

Will he ever get a break?
>>172597557
This. Yuri is only for Ryo.
I sure fucking hope all the sprite work going into MSA is going to be repurposed into an actual game in the future, SNK.
>>172601859
Me too. I want to see some of those characters as either bosses/sub bosses or prisoners one rescues.
https://twitter.com/HBJohnXuandou/status/847564907209830400
>>172599418
That looks like some A-list US actor playing Shingo kek.
>>172601859
Some of those units have really good animations; it really would be a shame to only use them for one mobile game.
>>172604724
Man, they are so earnest, pity is Max
>>172605392
This color would be fantastic if it weren't for the yellow jacket.
>>172604724
Goddamn it Kuroki. My gut tells me that this will come back and bit them in the ass. Maybe not now, but eventually.I think a safer bet was they should've pandered more to the chinks.
>>172607816
I bet Max Dood won't even look out who that "Kuroki guy" is.

>>172609394
>Yamazaki thread does well
The Yamazaki threat turned into a Vanessa thread as soon as she leaked unfortunately. /neog/ is full of shameless waifushitter faggots that don't actually care about SNK games.
>>172608485
But anon, Garou is like his favorite game of all time ever next to CVS2 and Third Strike. Totally for serious.

Oh dammit and I had a good Rock Howard OP.
Nevermind. Next thread, I have something else in mind for OP
Linking to the real previous thread, for the sake of consistency >>172562212
OH SHIT
I forgot. Special battle themes exist
I wonder if SNK's gonna put the Real Bout soundtrack on Spotify? What soundtracks do you think SNK needs to add to Spotify?
>>172631330
all of them
I don't get this meme
I feel that Iori is becoming a sitcom nemesis to Kyo at this point.
i just got the realbout collection on ps4 which realbout game is considered the best
>>172632530
Real Bout 2 for balance but personally I think Special is best for presentation alone.
>>172633838

He's right Terry WAS giving him a handicap.
I wonder why SNK decided Vanessa's clothes needed some detailing while Rock's, Yama's and Whip's didn't.
>>172632404
>at this point.
>>172637440
Interesting. Oda said he would be strong, but I wonder how strong.
>>172638287
In the round intros they both bow to him go check it for your self
Sup guys. I haven't played KOF14 since around its release last year.
I'm thinking about playing it again.
Where is the best place/players to get info from?
Thinking about using this team, Robert/Benimaru/Yuri or K'
>>172643595
The dream cancel wiki and discord are good places to start, there's also some good character tutorials on YouTube
>>172642135
You're right. I guess they're special cases.
I wonder how tight whip's butthole is
>>172649447
Too tight for lewd I'm sure
>>172651113
What ifRalfgot to it first?
>>172652748
Anon you and I both know that if "Ralf Harassment" got to that ass first it would smell like a burnt shitstorm and battlefield. There wouldn't be much ass left.
So
Any plot reasons why Heidern can suck the life out of you and do all his other crazy shit
Or why Ralfs punches explode?
>>172653380
Heidern is explained, he has advanced technology to help him
I think Ralf just punches THAT hard in universe to where it explodes.
>>172653998
either ralf puts gunpowder in his gloves or uses ki bullshit.
either way, shingo got no excuse of not having fire. beni got lightning and that ki shit.
KoFXIV deserves to be on EVO Sunday stage, not fucking Smash.
>>172654816
Shingo is fucking Jacked.
Like seriously. He may be the strongest guy in the series
>>172655404
Either shingo using ki for physical enhancement or he just fucked it up.
regardless, he not the strongest or else iori would not have crippled him (reason why he might never come back)
>>172655358
I don't like that new venue though. It seems super hard to see the public, much less crowd monsters hijinks. They're so far away from the stage.
I hope they get their mics fixed this time. It's a real shame when we can hear the public hype much clearly in the Japanese broadcast.
>>172602495
We need some damn consistency.
>>172656012
Nigga Shingo got trashed by Orochi fucking Iori and survived with a broken arm. And he is just some random schmuck who can punch like a fucking tank. No ki anywhere, just training he got from Kyo and Saisyu and pure determination
>>172657041
A shame he's going after that fighting style. It's only limiting himself. Imagine how OP that nigger would be if he learned a martial art that didn't require muh speshul fire.
>>172659110
Boxing could be a good start
>>172653380
>Or why Ralfs punches explode?
I could sworn is mentioned somewhere that Ralf has explosives on his gloves
body ga

JUSTICE
Since all the new characters are coming in on the 5th was anything mentioned about the DLC costumes shown at the WCS?
>>172668108
No info yet. Seems like they are for later.
>>172656694
>It seems super hard to see the public, much less crowd monsters hijinks.
that's kind of...a double edged sword, or something like that
like on the good side, no shitty meme monsters in the background being obnoxious or "THERES THAT HOT CHICK imavirgin", but when you get the kof crowd, they really get into the whole game itself, it feels surreal and like no other tournament, it's as if every crowd for big kof tourneys is the same crowd that was at evo sf3's daigo moment
>>172655358
Evo has gotten too commercial anyways. Events like these go to shit the second the publishers get their hands in the pot. It's all just one big add for now

From one of Rock's animators
>- He knows MOTW animation is very highly regarded and said he was frustrated in trying to get the same kind of oomph in 3D
>- Rock's clothes and hair animation are hand made to make him feel closer to MOTW version
>- He is over 40 now so it was embarrassing to record himself doing Rock's moves for reference lol. Must have been super young when he worked on MOTW.
kek
>>172677634
that passion pays off, at least in earning respect
>>172677634
I had a feeling they based his animations on his MotW incarnation. I don't remember them being that good in NGBC. Same with the other MotW characters that were in XI, their animations weren't as good.

Thanks anon. Made me chuckle.
>>172677634
>embarrassed animator.
hah
Hmm. His hair flip at the end of any action is not as good as it could be and there little touches here and there to fancy up rock but otherwise, it pretty good.
>>172624012
Some people on Twitter did, there was quite a bit of fan art floating around there.
>>172624892
I get the impression she'd do fine without her mom, based on the You're Grounded card in Card Fighters DS.

>>172656737
That's what the Fatal Fury timeline is for.
KoF's timeline is too damaged for that.
We like to cite Terry as an example of character development and such but what about Kyo?
I think Kyo is in danger of being as one dimensional as Ryu is at this point.
>>172687979
i saw that thread by the way, no surprise a capdrone idiot would ever claim that terry had no personality in kof
nigga everyone still had personality in kof, sometimes it just happened to be slightly altered from their source gamesmaijoe
unfortunately, when you reach "iconic" status, the "picture" of the character associated with such a status also becomes something cemented and concrete and the character becomes more flat and memey
kyo is ascending to that level if not already there, and iori really is his comical eternal rival
>>172689406
I think KOF characters in general have more personality than a lot of other fighting game characters, the dialogues in XIII alone set-up some charcterization that's more recognizable than a lot of SF charcters get over the span of the whole series. But Kyo really is the generic karate school boy unfortunately. He has depth in the expanded material though.
>>172690326
that's what got me into snk gamesand classic toshinden, all that oozing personality
luckily, the games were also fun as shit unlike most basic anime fighters during those days that weren't something like variable geo or asuka burning fest
Does anybody want to play some rounds of KOFXIV tonight?
>>172689406
I don't know if it's my bias speaking, but I don't get how people (mainly those who don't play SNK games) would say KoF/SNK characters are bland/have no personality. I mean not only are they depicted doing fighting stuff, but they are also depicted doing other things like real life situations, wearing regular clothes rather than just their fight clothes, hanging out or doing day to day stuff in official art by the way. It makes them seem more human and thus more relateable. Even their profiles seem a little more fleshed out when compared to other fighting game characters that I've seen. In regards to other fighting games I normally only see those characters striking a fighting pose or in their fighting clothes and rarely see them doing well normal stuff. Also when people say they're bland or lack personality what do people mean? like their clothes, do they want people in just gis or fighting attire or outfits with like 20 fucking belts on them or do they want some huge edgelords or characters with one obvious trait? I know some SNK characters seem to wear seemingly regular clothes, but from my point of view that just makes them look like people rather than just another character. If I'm wrong could someone explain it to me?
>Fatal Fury Battle Archives vol 2 aka the Real Bout collection on PSN
Neat. I know hurr durr pirate but I think I'll grab it anyway just to put a little more coin in SNK's pockets. That and I long lost my PS2 and copy of that game.
>husband mentioned in Vanessa's character write up
Huh? I thought her husband was supposed to be dead.
>>172691269
Ether retcon or remarried.
>>172691069
>tfw have vols. 1&2
>no box art, just generic gamestop covers
Is there anywhere I can look for the ps2 covers and print them out?
>>172690932
It really is the fact that most of them are wearing regular clothes. A lot of people would rather have visually striking and loud designs than subdued and relatable/realistic ones- at least at first. People wants their characters to look very abnormal and unusual in a way that SF's national stereotype theme nails but when you get down to it, KOF characters dress like normal people would which isn't exciting but it's more tasteful, fashionable and realistic and it exudes more personality through nuance. This is also why a lot of non-fg people dislike Third Strike at first glance, their designs were more "bland"/"normal" than earlier Streeet Fighter characters. It's a taste maturation thing.
An analysis article on that unofficial survey that was floating around.
https://twitter.com/Reiki_Kito/status/847953495751655424
>>172692829
literally tl;dr
>>172684584
Oh, absolutely.
>>172687979
I don't think so, Kyo likes to fight, but isn't obsessed about being the strongest or gain more power, he is also cocky and lazy, but when he needs to save the world, he does his best. I think he and Iori seems to have matured a bit over the years, the fact that when Chizuru asks them to team up and they don't make a scene over it is a good indication.
<Spoiler>I also like how in Iori ending Kyo says that he'll help Iori, even if he doesn't like It, and Iori says nothing.</spoiler>
>>172696251
you're right
and even basic college statistics courses shouldand generally do, i know because i had to retake oneteach you to think about the validity of statistics, such as framing and scale and reliability of sample size

>>172696962
Yes. Fug, Maybe I shouldn't have deleted my post. I thought I was going full autismo, then again when doing research and writing a scientific article you kinda need to. Eh, I'm too lazy to write the damn thing again since it went up to the post character limit.

That game was fun as fuck. I wish they hadn't taken it down, and I'm hesitant on finding an apk since the sites I've found them are scream 'nice virus'.
>>172702332
they gave her away
>>172702332
Legally with another company, although hopefully SNK secured the rights to keep using her in anything related to XIV and the KoF series as a whole - the K9999-shaped whole in the series history is weird enough as it is.
>>172702332
Can't say I'll miss her
>>172702332
Athena's not there either.She's probably busy blowing producer-san.
>>172690326
Ryu is probably the shittiest/best example you can get with being the most bland and uninteresting character ever. It's sort of a shame really to see those Watchmojo fucks put him as the number one fighting game character.
Kyo at lease has his relatable backstory as a juveinile delinquent kid who never did anything right and wanted to be noticed for being strong, which is why he acts so down right cocky in his win quotes. Even Ragna, who is pure edginess has a more relatable personality than Ryu.
http://www.orochinagi.com/2017/04/articles-shutdown-notice
How will this affect Vicio?
>>172709558
He sounds very bitter.
Also goddamn I had forgotten just how nice the Real Bout games look. Even RB1 (and by extension FF3) has some really smooth animation. Also some moves for some fo the characters that I wish would make a comeback like Geese's side switch/headlock throw.
>>172674013
I hope you know how to instantly recover from drop kicks.
>>172709503
This. Ryu is the most generic fighting game protagonist. You can tell Capcom knew this and that's why they introduced the dumb Satsui no Hado plot with him. They had no idea what to do.
I remember my Street Fighter friend getting pretty mad when I told them I thought Ryu was boring and Ryo was a better take on the character. Ryo has a family, a love interest, and a family business to give him some character depth. All Ryu has going for him is "muh fist" and "muh dark hado".
Can we talk about how Alice learned her moves from watching the fighters?
Imagine a world where bar fighters fucking hurricane upper to varying degrees of success.
Not exactly SNK related, but it turns out that that arika april fools thing is actually real. They actually have a playable build and are showcasing it on a live stream. They don't currently have enough money to make it into a full blown game. Based on that April fools video some of its mechanics look to bee somewhat compatible with KoF. What are the chanches that the chinese company that owns SNK sticks their chinky hands in this? I know it's basically zero, but with how open SNK has been to collaborations a guy can dream right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2x8c-RFGnA
should i get last blade 2 on ps4 or just play on fightcadedo people even play it on fightcade
>>172715285
Chances are more people play on fightcade than on PS4. Depends how much you want to play with others and whether you're willing to throw soome cash SNK's way. IIRC it's cross buy so if you get it for PS4 you get it on vita too.
>>172713563

I was going to say that Ono's there apparently (or was) so maybe Capcom can help with funding if there's interest but then I remembered that unless Capcom's financials have changed they sure as shit aren't helping to fund anything.
>>172718618
Oh man, is their financial situation that shit too? I mean SFV can't be the cause of it, right?
Oh shit thats right

Max is so shit. When he saw the billboard of Andy and Mai in the background he said "Oh look it's Mai and Robert." For some reason he keeps calling Andy Robert.
>>172714501
I thought that's how Shingo did it too. Watched Kyo from afar then jotted everything down on his notepad.
Also this was prior to getting trained by Saisyu.
man, Max is getting his shit pushed in by Grant
>>172719967
And once again he won't see Kain.
>>172720212
eh, I think he knows Kain exists
>>172720212
Does he know Kain exists?
hey look at that he lamed it ou
>>172720356
>>172720373
I love that everyone in the chat is calling out Max for missing Kain and he just ignores them
>>172720648
So you're saying he didn't try to get to kain?
>>172720771
>You have to win every round. You have to get at least a average of S minimum. You might need a perfect or two but you CANNOT LOSE A ROUND.
I think he chose to ignore this otherwise he would probably get an aneurysm
>>172720771
Man, that reflects badly on him. If he knows what's going on, but ignores him it's reasonable why he gets some hate. For his sake I hope he at least tries to go back later and try to get to kain.
>>172720792
its Rock legacy
he's finishing the game with Rock and thats it.
The weird thing is that I don't remember being that hard to get to Kain. And I main Tizoc
>>172721024
I was able to get to him too and I such total shit. I guarantee that Max is at least 100 times better than I at fighting games. He should be able to get to kain.
If the title of his stream is any indication He won't like Mizuchi assuming he doesn't get to Neo Dio, Shin Shishioh, or Goodman.
In other news: Shadman got his website shutdown

Also, Capcom fucking sucks, just realizing now how bad they made Rock's hair look for the game, it's more white than blond, I'm disgusted.

Yet they make Ken and every other blond hair character that's theirs look normal. Capcom scum.
>nakoruru's theme playing in CvS2
>comments saying "I think this is Chun-Li's theme"
Fucking idiot Capcom fans don't even know their character themes.
>>172685001
It's kind of funny that for a semi-obscurish character from a niche series of games that's only shown up a handful of times Kasumi's fairly popular. Lots of people have good taste I guess.
Maybe in XV she can join up with Yuri and King as a female AOF team or something.
Goddamn niggers in his stream hating on Nakoruru's theme.
>>172723730
CvS2 has Nako's theme?
>>172723773
It was playing in the training stage.
>>172723772
I was going to mention this, Capcom is so bad it's humilating.
>>172723730
Yeah, it's weird that they don't know Chun's theme.
oh shit max got to Mizuchi
>>172723772
They need to be punished!
>Max pronouncing Goneitz like "Gonuts", and hating on Mizuchi.
>>172727645
Shame we won't see him get his ass handed to him by any of the other bosses. I guess hoping he would face King lion or Neo Dio was too much.
>>172727645
To be fair
Mizuchi is absolute ass
>>172720212
I refuse to believe that normal human being can reach Kain without cheating.
>>172700663

>>172727898
I agree, original 97 Orochi >>> Clone, Max wasn't really shitting on his fighting style, he was shitting more on his design, which both apply to Mizuchi and Orochi, since they both look the same.
Well, I don't really know how to react to be honest, Orochi does have a pretty the bland, "I'm much more powerful than you" boss design, and fights like it too, but I can't help but to be angry at Max's assumptions because he is a total SFfag, and those guys are annoying as hell. I stopped watching the stream as soon as he got to Maximum Impact since I don't really like it as much as the 2D SNK fighters.
Why are y'all watching that stream

Man all the KoF tournies just ended, now I'm forced to play the game again!
>>172779456
me too, oh nosi haven't played in a few weeks due to business
>>172760927
What was the twitter sauce? Man it it's someone other than SNK they are playing a cruel joke as SNK already did their april fools thing. With the leaks (some of them not coming from johnny boy) I wouldn't be so sure. Remember that a while back one of the people who worked on it made a random twitter account and made a mock up pic of what Andy was to look like with the original shaders that ended up becoming the graphics update. Also reminder that in addition to the character DLC trailers already posted there are 3 more additional game trailers left on the XIV website. Whether they are for costumes or to announce more characters who the fuck knows. Not saying it's real, but there is a small chance chat it could be.
>>172774759
While true even rock falls short, he's tries to bring in cool aspects of both dads, but ends up falling short and watered down. No saying that Adel isn't either.

I want my DLC costumes. I was more hype about Sylvie's DLC than any of the characters. Only one that was even remotely close in hype was Whippy's trailer.

>>172784358

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Check out Oda's profice pic. He's on the Sylvie train now!He'll probably change it to Rock later on. Dude seems to be on that train especially since he worked on MotW too. ;_;

>>172795703
Unfortunately no. There are neo turf masters threads that pop on on /v/ of all places from time to time, you might find some there.
>>172793260
Wasn't that EX Andy in RBS? I barely played that one, but I recall a protrait of in there having him hold some kunai.
>>172715236
Jesus the very fist post in that thread was a SFVfag defending their game and in subsequent posts shitting on it. The youtube comments aren't any better while there they mostly shat on XIV. There's some people there bitching on how people are quick to shit on SFV when they are the same ones and usually the first ones to shit on anything that isn't SF because it's not as big numbers wise. What makes me sadder though is that it's real and it looks like fun, but they have no money to make it happen. Sometimes makes me wish the chinks that got their hands on SNK got their hands on this just as a fuck you to those people.
>>172797175
Yes he was IIRC.
>>172797889
i can't believe sfv fags even exist, it's like having a smash4 fag when there's a better game in the franchise, even though i hate meleefags too
capcomfags in general though are fucked in the head and they constantly demand sfex characters and then they shit on a game that has some just because it's not sf, and then some have the audacity to call it "sfex4"
their disrespect to arika should only earn them a sledgehammer to the face
>>172799027
This. If it weren't for the EX series most of them wouldn't give this new game the time of day. I bet most of them never even played Fighting Layer.
>>172657041
Somebody post that "motherfucking Shingo pic"
>>172802169
I'd translate that if the kanji wasn't chicken scratch. All I could make out was Rock saying he's 18 years old.

Was it Souther Louisiana Majors, Canada Cup, etc...?
>>172803654
Souther Louisiana Majors I believe.
new to this thread. does this get mentioned much? i think it is still the greatest neo geo fighting game ever. i feel its more strategic than any other game, has tons of possible combos, just feels comfortable and fluid gameplay. the only downside is the lack of different characters. i played all kof games and nothing compares to this, not even close. last blade 3 when?
>>172805247
it actually kind of got brought up not just a couple days ago because of cvs2 talk
what the hell? site maintenance just for /a/ but i can still post here?
>>172805247
Hopefully one day. I like KoF and all, but it isn't even my favorite SNK series. Might have to wait though as the next game they'll make will probably be a new Samurai Shodown or a MotW sequel (the devs feel obliged to make it since people seemingly keep asking for it). Personally I'd rather another Real Bout or a prequel that ties in the AoF and FF games. I'd be fine with a SS game too or even a newWorld Heroes.I'd want them to make more than just mobile and fighting games hough, Oda once asked how people would feel if the next AoF game were to be a beat them up. To me that sounds great, but I don't know if people would be to keen on it. They've made rhythm games before, but I'm not sure how some "hardcore fans" would feel about that. I mean some of them completely shat on XIV because of no sprites and totally shat on Sylvie too. RPGs not on mobile could be another thing. As much as I love them, I wish they'd do more than just KoF and Metal slug (they kinda are with their mobile division).
>>172806038
I was wondering about that too. I tried going in a bunch of /a/ threads, but kept getting the 404 message, posting doesn't appear work.
>>172806038
>>172806365
Shit, tried going on/v/and they got merged with /int/. Maybe /a/ in in the process of being merged with something else because of the april fools thing?
>>172806512
good job because they're late on that, unlike the merging between pol and mlp to make mlpolwith extremely hilarious results
>>172806629
Is it still merged? Sounds hilarious.

Since /a/ got merged with /sp/ there's flags now. There's a guy with really broken english that's always in or makes watamote/tomoko threads and is kind of autistic about.
So, how hard would it be to play some of the untranslated DS games for someone who knows basic jap? I can read some kanji, but not a lot. I have a better grasp of it when spoken.
Whick SNK girl would you go to the amusement park with? Hard mode no girls that originated in KoF.
>>172812831
Blue Mary of course
>>172810618
It'd be a little difficult. What you should do is grab a program called capture2text. It allows you to copy text seen on screen to a clipboard, then you can past the unfamiliar kanji into Jisho, a japanese dictionary and that'll help you understand the game.

>>172920089
I mentioned that in the comments and received dozens of replies telling me you don't have to be good at a character to like them.
>>172920187
Garous is unforgiving Tbh. And the PS4 version of the game has better AI. Also Rock is Ass
>>172920405
Man, that's a particularly bad set of conditions if he wanted to do a Rock run.
He actually mentions the "PS4 Garou has better AI" at some point, or notices that as soon as Hotaru starts reflecting his fireballs.

Then I say something fucking stupid like how she doesnt appreciate me and then she goes on a tirade listing numerous times she helped me when I had it rough. Then I get pissed then she gets pissed and then it culminates with her calling my dad who says he doesnt give a shit anymore and that he has a new family that he has to take care off.
Then we both sigh, make up and never talk about this again

All in all it seems that SNK did fine with KoF. I just hope that they show us something new, that isn't a mobile game, soon (E3?).

That would be cool, but wouldn't that be a bit soon? I hope they do though. If they do show something this year and if it isn't shown sooner it'll be at Japan expo. If they do show something I know it's a little more polished than the first XIV trailer. It was awesome seeing their progress and all, but I don't want a repeat of that.

>>172949301
my imagination
I still wish CvS had interactions like SvC had. But SvC I think dropped the ball a bit on characterizations, story and gameplay. I love the idea of Capcom & SNK characters existing in the same world but just registering for two entirely seperate tournaments and all the crazy shit that goes down is resolved just before it starts affecting everyone.
>>172950127
In SvC's defense, the game was very rushed to fulfill a contract obligation with Capcom. A shame too, there was a good game buried somewhere beneath the complete lack of polish and limited hardware, which might have held it back. The game's intro feels like a sign of what could have been.

I liked it in FF2/S but I'm not sure of the small snippet shown. I need to hear more.
>London March
Fucking sweet.
I wonder if it's just those themes or if there will be more.
>>173003616
Also to add to this I just noticed, during the dialogue between Geese and Ryo there was a remix of the AoF2 stage transition music. Was that all ways there? I wonder if people will get that it and the Cyber edit of Geese's theme are callbacks to AoF 2.

Yo, remember the community survey a few months ago? Well, they finally did an analysis. Pretty insightful: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XeFd4MG9TCWTg7P0xLG8Lce_uCTvccu3iw9b5yKoyEc
>>173006515
Mentioned earlier up from a thread. The data itself is interesting, but From a scientific journal/analytical point of view it could've been written a bit differently. What interested me the most was that people who play seem to be older and besides the US and a couple other places, most don't seem to care too much about being competitive (on a personal level I kinda agree, fun things are fun, etc.).
So i'm a complete fucking scrub when it comes to these games.
Playing KoF 98, trying to learn the game.
Is comboing supposed to be this hard?
I don't have problem with C>command normal>special, but linking lights to heavy and even comboing from a jump-in seems surprisingly tough for me.
>>173009115
There aren't many links in KOF and you won't need them at your level. You can do just fine with
>close heavy > cmd normal > special
>lights (> cmd normal) > special
>>173009115
That's because most characters can't link lights into heavies.
>>173006515
I hope SNK doesn't try to follow the Legend of the Five Rings-esque suggestion.
From what i've heard, that kind of stuff while initially pretty cool, transforms into a nightmare for the consumer and the company
>>173009665
>>173009624
I've been trying to do Saisyu's Crouching light to Close C and that one i can kinda nail, but Ryo's crouching light to crouching C is nearly impossible for me.
I guess is just a question of grinding it out.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, i'll try to keep it simple for now
>>173006515
Talking data from VGChartz as good is a pretty red flag. VGChartz is well known for pulling numbers out of their ass
>>173010152
This in part, although aggregate sties like that are not too far off the mark (~10%). What VGchartz doesn't account for that I've noticed is different versions of the game (physical/digital) for in XIV's case as far as I'm aware the numbers account for Physical copies. As much as I personally dislike it more and more people are buying digital. Numbers should be taken with a grain of salt unless from official sources. Personally I'm not expecting millions. Drawing a conclusion from those numbers in an analysis is shaky.
Earlier in the thread I wrote a somewhat autistic post about what I saw wrong with just the first 2 pages, but ended up deleting it. In short it was using numbers from unofficial sources (twitter posts accounts of twitch numbers) comparing sales of XIV (ps4 only) to XIII (ps3, 360) and concluding that the population shrank because of that while we won't truly know since XIV was only released on 1 system withing the time frame of the comparison (i.e. not enough data for a conclusion/correlation). As well as certain language that isn't supposed to go in a research article (referring to the researchers in the 1st or 2nd person, etc.) as well as some phrases that may indicate opinion. Being as it was written by a science student (as one needs to know how scientific articles are written to a certain point) anyone conducting research and trying to present data as professionally as possible things like that should be omitted. I don't know in part I feel I'm being too autistic or dickish about it. As this took a lot of effort and the data itself is valuable. Personally from what I've read I'm not to keen on how it was written.
>>173011650
No, you are right. The Raw data collected by the survey is definitely valuable, the issue comes with the interpretation it was given that shows some bias and is generally quite poor
>>173013928
So what would be your interpretation?
>>173014190
For starters the sample is not representative of the community as whole because as the WCS proved, the bulk of the series is on China and they aren't well represented by the survey. Thus, the results are skewered from the get go.
That said, it does paint a pretty comprehensive outlook of the series status in the west. Correlating the ages, period from which they knew of KOF and self identifying as casual players, is not a stretch to assume most of the game's current audience are people who have been fan of the series for years and merely got back into it with new entry.
While this might be a bad thing for the series' standing within the FGC, is not necessarily a bad business for SNK. The issue here would be to find a way to properly cater to the FGC and the long time fans without alienating one of them.
From what I've seen in other places in regards to the fated battle (or whatever they're called) character themes some people are saying they want them to be selectable because they want to hear them more. What do you guys think?
From a personal point of view I know some of them are great and would like to hear them more myself, but I feel that making them selectable kinda ruins the whole them being special aspect of it. If people want to hear them more why not select those characters more? On the other hand I do feel that 1 round can be too short depending on the characters' health, but it is a theme that is meant for two specific characters to share.
>>173014774
well what would be a good way of catering to the fgc then? maybe outside of work on balance issues and maybe tournament stuff like pot bonuses i can't exactly think of anything
>>173016748
I think that in the long run, those special themes being occasional is a novelty that's going to wear off and people will want to listen to them more.
>>173014774
Isn't it somewhat alarming that the fanbase is only growing older? Young western fans only consist of what, 33% at most?
>>173019785
Not the anon you replied to. As far as the FGC is concerned there's not much else they can do as that community tends to be more competitive and as the data has shown the majority of those who own the game either are not nor do they care about becoming competitive. If they want to continue with the WCS in following years they could work with major tournament organizers & better schedule tournaments as well as add events for other regions. There were several in china/asia, a couple in the US/Canada, but there were only two for the whole of Latin America & none in certain regions.
Also the FGC/competitive scene is the minority in regards to KoF and requires pumping in money and in SNK's current state it is possible they don't have much of that around. As of now I think the best move would be getting the game to the most people as possible in a way they are working on that with the Arcade version & collabs in Japan. Arcades may not be as big as they used to even in Japan, but they still account for a good chunk of a game's exposure/revenue there. In an interview with a sony rep & XIV's chinese publisher it is mentioned that only about 1% of people there have ps4s. As shown by the WCS their biggest viewerbase is in China, thus a good move would be giving them a PC version since that's how most gaming there is done. I just hope it's not as easy to pirate, but that they go about it in a sensible manner. I don't know how well arcades do in china. This could work for Latin America as well as in some places consoles are prohibitively expensive.
Other than that they need to work on getting more people interested. In a way this can be somewhat in part be addressed by the animated series if it turns out to be good. Personally I don't care about graphics a whole lot, but it did not help them. As with their promotion of the game and communication with the players I think they've been doing well. If successful + more $. With more $ they can better support the FGC.
>>173023160
a pc version would be a pretty good move though i hope it wont be able to be pirated easily, if they use denuvo it's going to make a lot of people pissy but im not entirely sure on what other option they could go with
>>172980714
The fighting side of SNK's Atomiswave outings tended to look like that. Most notably Neowave. I see where you're coming from though

>>172947019

Yamazaki does use a knife for a special move in 2k2. It was a really cool move because it was unblockable.
Look at 3:40

ITS FUCKING HORRIBLE BUT I CAN STOP READIN
>>173059927
Maybe putting up a question or something about the gameplay is a start? it's better than just bitching. Personally I like KoF, but not as much as the people in here. In the past I've tried to bring in other SNK related topics then get about an answer or two and that's it. It's an SNK general not just a one about KoF. After that it devolves back to pic dumping or just posting random attack names. I don't mind waifus and pics as long as there's discussion about them to go along with it. I like KoF, but I honestly don't give as much of a rat's ass as other people in here. It's not even my favorite SNK fihting game. I still try to post any SNK related news I can whether related to KoF or not (provided someone hasn't beat me to it), but otherwise personally I've kinda given up on there being anything besides KoF. In a way it kinda makes sense because it's their newest biggest thing. I'll still continue supporting the game and SNK.
>>173009731
What exactly tends to go wrong with that?
So the DLC releases tomorrow?
>>173063820
Yes, as well as two new stages, BGMs, balance tweaks and bug fixes in the form of an update.
>>173067015

>As far as Strikers go, Kang Bae Dal is my favorite design
Was I the only one who liked strikers?
KOF 99 had the right idea, 2000 had an incredible variety in strikers but was unfortunately was full of bugs. Then KOF 2k1 went full retarded by allowing 3 strikers at the same time, besides, I was never able to figure out how to call a specific striker during a combo (the combos were cool looking though).

There's people arguing that the DLC characters should be banned?
>>173103258
only for the first few tournaments after the patch, which is not uncommon for DLC characters in other games
but in XIV's case, the DLC is coming together with a full roster rebalance, so most people are arguing that such temporary ban is not necessary, since "everything is gonna be different/new, not just the DLC folks"
>>173103476
And it's not like kof characters are particularly deep unlike other games
>>173103603
given that everyone can run, roll, jump in same amount of ways, walk, block, the only thing that separates them are the hitboxes and some small difference of frames in their normals with some exceptions to make them slightly more distinct, and special moves
>>173091416
>>173098516
That's a maximum impact movelist
>>173104053
yeah I realized that. whoops
So when are we expecting the update to hit?
>>173106324
Tomorrow.
What time, though? I don't know.
>>173103476
That's what I think too. If the whole thing is getting rebalanced everything will basically be new so banning the characters seems unnecessary.

Depends on how much they "extended over all recovery frames" and "expanded hurtbox". One would still need to be more careful with her though. Don't quote me though as I'm not too great when shit gets technical. Best to wait and see what people do when they get their hands on her.

>>173122269
yep.
Bigger characters will not get instantly killed by anchors now which means that the big characters that are low tier have a fighting chance alongside the buffs they getting.
There be top/high/mid but at least the mid now have a fighting chance. 4-6 at most unless it a really bad counterpick of 3-7 which a top tier might have.

>>173128379
The whole text and logo is technically a texture, but I assume you weren't talking about that.
Even then, although it could be illusion from compression artifacts, I claim I see some subtle texturing there.
Considering how you see that jacket that close only rarely and for tiny glance, there is no reason for "draw every fiber, 4k approved, zoom and enchance" -texture detail.
>>173133931
I like it
we need more Verse in tournaments
also more Antonov
>>173133931
Verse isn't really used by that many, and his scariest tool got hit.
so the new stages are FF2 Terry stage and KOF 97 stage (where you fought RotB Leona/Iori) if i'm correct?
So I keep hitting refresh and there's no place to download Vanessa yet. It is the fifth right?
>>173134058
Are you being sarcastic? It's hard to tell because I don't think there's been a US tournament without a Verse command grabbing and punch walking his way to Top 8 since a month after launch.
We need less Verse in tournaments because he's boring to watch
>>173135494
Well obviously we've been watching diffrent tourneys because I only remember seeing ONE Verse used.

> People don't know that he has a different animation for his punch wall start than walking forward
> People playing Verse doesn't realize his rain of punches is an OTG and keeps trying to use it as an Anti-air
I'm tired of watching Verse because it is always
> someone doesn't know the matchup and gets steam rolled
or
> Someone knows the matchup and steamrolls Verse because the Verse player doesn't know how to fight against people who know the matchup

I appreciate that they wanted to make it easier to do, but I can see that super freeze getting annoying eventually.
On the other hand, having a poison super that isn't total shit seems pretty cool.
it seems like they shrunk the vertical hit box range of sylvie's qcf+A
the corner max combo i do requires more precise timing on the hit before the super cancel
>>173150469
It'd be kind of nice if they'd let you just be able to set the music for each stage or something or even just tie the music to teams/characters like it's always been.
>>173155469
nevermind, something else changed to make the timing different for doing the super cancel itself
i need to practice kensou combos, since i know none
>>173155654
Haven't been too invested in KoF, but in older ones weren't stages selected dependent on some team members (edit teams) and the music that plays was that stage's/team's music? IIRC the only one I recall in which music was tied to just characters was 98/um (I dom't know about vanilla 2k2), even in 2k2UM were they not tied to stages? I could be wrong since I didn't pay much attention to the NESTS and Ash sagas.
>>173156453
Maybe 94 and 95 are different, I don't remember, but at least from 96 and on the music was always tied to the teams/characters and never the stages. I think original 2002 is the only exception to that where some times you might get a stage theme instead of the team/character theme.
>>173156931
So you're telling me that in 96 I can listen to that game's version of Big Shot on the Esaka stage and vice versa assuming the right characters are picked?
>>173157842
themes were depended on the first character of p2
>>173156931
94 and 95 were tied to stages and yes, 96 was tied to stages as well, it's just that some stages shared music
97 was the first time you got character specific music, because there was hardly any stage music, just some lame ambience
It's 2017, we should be able to choose our own theme by now.
>>173158005
and in that case what stage was picked?
>>173158146
Not the anon you replied to, but what about the NESTS saga and Ash saga games?
>>173158308
no change
>>173158426
don't remember honestly, those games i didn't play a lot of
i think 2k2um was stage or character dependent
how do the new characters feel? I'm broke so I can't try them out
>>173148359
>you trade health for more range
Makes ya really think.
I don't know what else to say... t-thanks I guess? As long as the game doesn't turn into another rushdown-fest.
>>173158278
I'd really like the equivalent of Tekken Tunes given how much great music is in SNK's stuff. Simple feature but it was one of my favorite things to mess around with in TTT2. Color edit is something that seems to have gone by the wayside too sadly.
>>173159443
i don't know, i never really explored them in their old games except rock, and it's been a while since i touched motw (i also only played rock a few times)
it didn't take me long to learn do this combo https://twitter.com/IgnantRizzy/status/849697300200992770
but it's more practical(?) to start it off that kinda slow overhead if you can actually sneak one of those in (which any quick reacting person would see it coming a mile away), or 2b 5b quickmax etc
heres hoping people give this game another shot at my locals instead of just playing the older ones.
>>173159867
Same. DOA5 has it too, it's pretty fun to play with. Honoka finally has a listenable themetoo bad about the character as a whole though.
well
>>173148359
Who did?
>>173160678
i will have to remember not to do that on kula nonmeaty
>>173160678
Wasn't Athena able to do something similar in 98?
whippy doesn't give a fuck
>>173160678
>>173161598
As a zoner, how do I deal with reflectors?
>>173162284
don't give them a reason to reflect anything, and if you do, you better have a way to approach them so you can make them regret reflecting as a choice, but that may take a bit of prediction and reading
>>173160043
Assuming they play 98 fe, 2k2 etc you are lucky. My scene consists of SFV, Smash 4 and a bit of 14 only.
>>173166017
Oh, man.
practicing kensou combos and it does seem like it's hard to get damage with him
unless i wanted to troll with fireballs all day i'd probably not use him as anchor
>TFW Xanadus qcb c speed boost

let's do that party mode you guys were talking about
>>173154571
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFaQ73LR8yI
I knew that pause was going to lead to some shit.
>>173171673
The pause is there to allow the poison damage to built up. It might only do 900 damage tho. Remember that health values were changed.
>>173171673
I think Mai having 900 health might be a factor too. Still that's a fuck ton of damage. That poison of his is pretty fast too.
Rock quotes
vs. Alice: A-Are you OK? Your moves are so much like Terry’s, I got a little too fired up...
vs. Andy: Say hi to Hokutomaru for me, Andy.
vs. Antonov: Glory doesn’t last forever.
vs. Bandeiras: Ninjas are a dime a dozen these days.
vs. Billy: I don’t get why you follow that guy around...
vs. Geese: That pain you’re feeling right now? Mother suffered ten thousand times worse than that!
vs. Iori: Hey, pal, I’m your opponent right now! Got someone else on the brain, or what?
vs. Joe: You think you can keep up with those two, with pitiful moves like that?
vs. Kim: Don’t you want your son to respect you as a father? You need to work harder.
vs. King of Dinosaurs: What happened to being the Hero of Justice? You’re making the kiddies cry, man!
vs. Kyo: The more you brag about your history, the more pathetic you look when you lose.
vs. Luong: Phew… That was rough, but I made it somehow.
vs. Mai: Hey, uh… Think you could tone down your look a little? It’s kinda distracting.
vs. Mature: You know, I’ve met someone else who used moves like yours before.
vs. Ryo: Those straightforward punches… That’s the Kyokugen style, all right.
vs. Shun’ei: Man, I thought you were just a poser, but you’ve got a real fire in your heart.
vs. Sylvie: Gah, are you okay? I’m still not used to fighting chicks...
vs. Terry: Hold back if you want, but it’s not my problem if you lose, Terry!
vs. Tung: So, you’re Terry’s master? It’s good to meet you!
vs. Vanessa: I need to focus harder! Those boxing punches really sting.
vs. Whip: Whips like yours are popular with people who are into… that kind of stuff… Right?
vs. Xanadu: Evil charisma? Oh, I get it… You’re just another joker I gotta grind into a pulp.
vs. Yamazaki: Thought you could just throw your weight around forever, huh, jerk?
vs. Yuri: Th-The Kyokugen style attracts all kinds, huh...
rock knows what's up
So what does Whip actually have to offer? At least trying her out I can't think of anything. Her moves all seem slow and have long recovery and it seems like the hurtbox pretty much extends to her actual whip. It seems like they took out a lot of stuff she had from previous games too: no more Spidey swing, no more zoning drop, no more Desert Eagle.
Then again I suck and right now I still feel frustrated by the whole "can't open my opponent up, make one mistake and say goodbye to 60% of my lifebar" stuff that made me kind of give up originally. I can't combo for shit either and it seems like there's no resources other than "HURR DURR USE THE DISCORD" which is really frustrating too.
>>173174181
>vs. Yuri: Th-The Kyokugen style attracts all kinds, huh...
So Rock wants to fug Yuri?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE73GrQaMpM
>>173176857
Well one thing is her reflected projectile is pretty good, technically its a moving hitbox though not a projectile
>vs. Joe: You think you can keep up with those two, with pitiful moves like that?
Shit Rock there was no need to go in on him like that son, why you gotta murder that man son, just blew that ego out son.
>>173174181
>King of Dinosaurs: What happened to being the Hero of Justice? You’re making the kiddies cry, man!
What the hell is he talking about?
>>173178587
KoD, unlike Tizoc, is a heel.
>>173177182
Lil fag can get fucked. Yuri is for Ryo___only!
>>173178693
That's the thing I was trying to say. Why is he saying that Dino wanted to be the hero of justice, it was Tizoc that wanted to be the hero of justice not Dino. The only thing is that Rock thinks that they're the same person. We have proof that they're not, the two of them have been pictured in the same room together.
>>173179119
Exactly. It's what happens when you have a degenerate father like Terry. See, Rock needs a real man, he needs someone smarter and stronger than rest. He needsKain Heinlein
>>173174181
>None of the FF characters have unique quotes against Rock in return
>Not even Terry or Geese
What the hell, SNK?
>>173174181
>Chuunibros with Shun
>Still spills spaghetti on girls
>More shittalking
That's Rock, all right
>>173179793
They have to get all the actors back in the studio to record about 4 lines each, that can't be cost efficient at this point.
>>173180185
Is Rock /v/?
>>173178720
In all honesty, giving him a goofy little crush on Yuri or something like that would be good because otherwise he's just a fairly generic "cool young man" anime character.
>>173180428
Kukri, is /v/
Rock, is /vint/
>>173180874
True, that could make him a bit more well rounded as a character. Now the question is would he have the same crush on Yuri in the FF timeline? In that case Yuri would be in her 40s and likely a MILF.
>>173180909
/spa/ is now gone.;_;
the new speedup for all on the quickmax is beneficial, for guys like goro
>>173182046
It's good for anyone who might have had hard time connecting followup after quick max.
Less timing required on things is always good in my eyes.
>>173180874
>>173181737
Rock can't even defeat Terry. Ryo would never allow such a relationship.
does anyone want to play for a short while
>Trying out Vanessa
Wew fucking lad, C. Dashing Punch is slower than pre-patch King of Dinosaurs. Also she seems to have to have forgotten to wear a bra again, just like in XI.
sylvie's ex qcb+P seems to hitstun for longer so you can more easily nail another attack after it, not sure if it was like that before?
>>173182241
I want to see little Ryo Jr. Running around with a red headband just like his mom's.
>>173181737
There's a Kyokugen poster that Hiroaki did around when Garou came out so you can see what Garou era Yuri looks like. I think they took Robert's look there as inspiration for his NGBC look too.
She's supposed to be 18 in AOF2 so I would assume probably late 30s or so there.

>>173183494
Does this mean more Sylvies in tourneys?
>>173183463
A bit soon to say man. A good amount of characters seem to show promise. Even Champion no Ojii-chan.
>TFW being able to combo antonov's sweep (all 2 hits) into level 2 super kick
>>173183623
>White in KoF
Not sure if want.
>>173183657
probably not, i mean she's not a dominating character still (and i feel like the vertical range on qcf+P shrunk), but they did give her extended range on 2b
however i will still play her, and neorussell will probably play her more too
she is not a bad character, just not obnoxiously good
granted this is a bit premature still, but i feel other than aforementioned tweaks, she's still the same character
yeah, i think the ...whatchacallit, hitstun? shockinplace? on the ex qcb+P move of sylvie's is new, i don't remember being able to do midscreen qcb+PP -> qcb+P at all
i want to explore sylvie in ways other than this too
>>173184215
now that i think about it, that is actually why my corner combo wasn't working properly, because that is what changed and i didn't notice it until just now, even though it's in the patch notes, but i didn't know the name of the attack
>>173182775
>>173183494

In my defense, I won't be able to play until Friday
>>173185579
I tested that my BnB stuff for old characters work, and for more I wait until I get my hands on the DLC characters.
>>173185579
thx
on that note, sylvie's hurtbox on her qcb+P is shrunk vertically so opponents have to do a deeper jump in attack to hurt her
that's in the patch notes too but it didn't say exactly what, so that's it
fuck Rock
fuck Whip
There was a Kula x Angel match in this one stream I was watching earlier; Kula got styled on, but their Fateful Battle theme kept going until the very end of the match, which is something I haven't seen in a 3x3 before. Is this a thing now?

Apparently so. It would only last until that round ended before.

No wonder Mai died in that link to that one Yamazaki 5 gauge combo that one anon posted. According to this even characters with 950 health are done in by it. Iori has 1000.
>>173176857
>I can't combo for shit either and it seems like there's no resources other than "HURR DURR USE THE DISCORD" which is really frustrating too.
DreamCancel has SOME stuff about the game, spread out across the whole forum. It's gonna take a long time for them to update it with current changes, though. I wish Discord hadn't become the default place for fighting game info.
>>173180874
I thought Shun'ei was the generic cool guy, and Rock was the generic angsty guy. BTW, did you know he has to do that wing shit on his own? That's not a side effect of his energy! He has to Spread the Wings on purpose!

That's bretty gay.
>>173166017
You might be luckier than me. If you're not SF5, Smash 4, BB or GG, then you're not relevant scene-wise. And nobody takes KOF14 seriously, like they are all distracted by other games. I guess it does match with what the survey results say.

Friendly reminder, that as a mexican, this statement is truth. Also, here in Mexico when you have a formal work, like in a bank and shit, is totally acceptable to dress like Iori, but if you have a more rigorous etiquette party, lets say, like your wedding, the more viable option is to suit up in orange like Ryo. People wont respect you or take you serious if you do otherwise. Thank me later.
