/neog/ - SNK and Neo Geo General

the FFS world cup is on the 15th in Japan which means it will be on the 14th in the evening for burgerstanis. It starts at 3 pm Japan time which is around 11 pm pacific. So hopefully evo for KoF will be over by then. If not the events will overlap.
Also here's PV2:

I'd watch some Tekken too, and KOF still.

>>182295191
I'm just hoping that the events don't overlap too much. If pools are streamed for both it will easily be 12+ hours of matches in one day. Fug, I don't know if I'll be able to last that long.

realistically, snk should really improve the special effects in lighting in this game to make it go from passable to good looking.

>>182304254
Not a fan of any of these, but it's a start at least.
I just want Kyo and Angel's old colors back.

Oh wut? this was sudden. $14,000 added to the Evo pot bonus. From a KoF player point of view this is a big chunk of change, but relative to what other companies throw in it's kinda small. On one hand this is the type of thing they need to do for the game to get more traction in America what with how things are, but it leaves me with a few questions: Is this because it's a special occasion or will more stuff like this happen in the future? Will this be enough to give it a boost? Will people not care either way? I take it one can see this as a sign that SNK is getting healthier.
Inb4 some people start posting that they had wished they entered Evo for KoF.
Out of principle I wish they hadn't since I hate everything that comes with e-sports and playing a game for money. I feel people should play a game because it's fun. I have mixed feelings about this.

>I hate everything that comes with e-sports
You must really hate modern SNK then, because they've been supporting e-sports since XIV launched.

>>182303090
Oh how far the mighty have fallen, I wonder when Capcom will realize that casual audiences and esports folks can simultaneously be appeased by actually having more content in their games. Shame about Marvel though, I'm damn sure that Capcom probably wanted to do so many things with the game but got constricted by Disney.

>>182320894
>Make the game easy mode dog shit to appeal to casuals
>FGC hates it
>Skimp out on content and tell people their favorite characters are just functions
>Casuals hate it

What did Capcom mean by this?

>>182321482
You have to put on "Capcom" vision in order to understand- https://youtu.be/WRHi9oyMXqE

The casuals want a fighting game story mode and Capcom recognizes that but they don't get that casuals want a GOOD story mode. Capcom sees that FGC people wanted a balanced game and they got it- but it's terribly boring and sullied the established formula.

MvC:I even made Max bewildered which is fairly surprising and depressing.

I'm not sure why people in this general think Max is some braindead Capcom cocksucker, he's been extremely critical of SFV and MVCI and he openly admits that not only does he not care for them as games, he only plays them when his fans ask him to.

It's almost like Capcom is known for making good games, and a major reason why everyone hates them right now is because they've completely abandoned their own standards of quality and gone to shit.

Dayum, I have my doubts about the rumors of Romance being well off. But then again, people who have a spare plot to create a pool in their property are usually well off.
The only person I know who are having financial troubles is Bala, well so far from what I am hearing about him when it comes to supporting his family and unable to travel a lot to go to tourneys. It is still a delight to see him when he plays though.

14 grand aint bad at all if you ask me. Splitting it for three places with 1st getting six grand and the 2nd/3rd getting four would make it all better.

But then again, I have no idea how large the prize pot is in EVO so I am already expecting a crash course would come down at me to correct my mistakes right about now.

You're one dumb motherfucker. While yes they do support it it was not their primary concern which dictated how the game was made.

>>182327461
I definitely can see why people think of Max that way but he tries to address and focus on other games, which is prety admirable. I don't think of him as a Capcom Shill or Capcuck but he has a clear preference, like everybody else. I wish there was a Max-like figure for SNK games but even if there was a charismatic fan, there has to be an audience which has intrigue enough to want to know more.

>>182349597
Ah yes, perfect. KOF having the lowest number if entrants may attract attention with "easy money"

Also I'm leaving my trip on for a bit in case someone wants to play KOF XIV.
I'm an American so please be gentle

So, what do you guy's think Oda and Watanabe will talk about during the stream at AKSYS's booth? ARIKA will bethere too if I'm not mistaken.

You can't do much with them now since that exchange event is over. Maybe they'll bring it back and you can use them then.

>>182353783

Max positions himself as the fighting game guy no Youtube, which is a niche enough thing as it is.

Maybe it's best to reward more generalist YouTube guys that actually give SNK some decent attention on occasion.

gamingcapsules came up in a different thread, and now I'm remembering that video poitning out the problems with Netherrealms animation, which along the way provides some positive SNK examples:

He ended up dedicating a video to KoF XIV, if with a non-obvious twist to it:
