>>164794530
I always thought Elizabeth was pretty hot desu
>>164794530
From what I've seen there are quite a few people who like XI.
It's just one of those games that while, they can be fun, just don't work on high levels of play.
>>164794530
xi is great
it just sucks the fun out for competitive play

>>164794530
It's one of my favorites too. I want to see the Anti Kyokugen and Agents teams again one day, it would also be fun to have Kyo/Shingo/Iori, but I'm not sure if Shingo would want to experience that a second time...

i would actually body him if i still played it
>>164803545
We need the Ex Charge combos back. Those loops were fun as fuck.
>>164805345
He is just being tsundere at this point, it's the only explanation.
It would be fine if he just pointed these kind of bugs and let SNK know so they could fix it, something that just happens with one character and that almost no one noticed isn't that big deal and a simple thing to fix I guess, but the guy prefer to act as if the game is the most fucked up thing in SNK story
>>164807178
That's exactly what I believe. Srsly I don't mind his discoveries but him and his followers need to calm the fuck down about it. It's not like it's the end of the world and can be fixed if its awareness is raised.
>>164807178
Pretty sure older games had much more sillier glitches than this.

When will SNK release the anime? They promised an anime, they should at least show a PV no matter how shitty it turns out to be. At this point I don"t care if we get an "Another Day" short.
does someone have the full pic of this?
>>164822438
Patience man. It was announced long ago it was delayed to march of 2017. My guess is it'll come out in the spring season, PVs for an anime season don't come out until a few weeks before release.

>>164840707
>プラットフォーム : iOS / Android
Hmm.
>>164840017
There no reason to be pissed about. At least if you is the creator. but it's a waste of time if he feels like that. Because porn happens to anything. games, animes, cartoon, movies, kids show, etc.
Also, porn is good in other way because is, literally, free marketing.
>>164840090
Absolutely someone faps. and there's nothing wrong with that.
>>164841014
That's what I meant, I don't think they would be pissed, but I wonder what they would think.
If someone managed to make porn of my creation It'd make me smile and chuckle for a bit. Then I'd probably fap to it. I wonder if they would think something similar with the fapping being optional.
You guys are fucking autisitic.
No one givs a fuck about hentai.
When's rollback netcode?
If we end up getting a new Garou game, what would you like to see (visuals, plot, roster etc)?
>>164843142
Don't really care much for it, but since Rock left with Kain it makes me wonder if Rock would end up doing some less than cool things and be confronted by Terry. Maybe some older versions of FF characters would be cool as well as some of the characters from the scrapped sequel in addition to the already established characters. How old would Ryo, Robert and Yuri be in this game? If possible seeing them would be cool. I wonder what MILF Yuri would look like.
>>164843142
I just want a PC port.

Good choices, If I had to pick only one it's be Magical Sky.
Of course I like much more than one track.

There are some godtier doodles but sadly it's mostly cringe af.

I've been quite absent from this general last month, can somebody please tell me more about the announced new mobile game?
>>164855891
The RPG? It's seems to be a new IP set to released in 2017. Nothing much is known, but they released pic related and mentioned that they're doing VA auditions.
Chinese tournament grand finals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1BEi23seWw
There seems to be weekly tournaments in china and Japan or something.
>>164856072
That hasn't stopped people from recoiling from what little we do know. I don't have high hopes for the game myself, but I think see it, the worst we're going to get out of this is "SNK's Hero Acadamia".
>>164805915
Eh. Blazblue is a much more sillier than kof will ever be.

Why didn't we get an OVA for Fatal Fury 3, anyway? Seems like a missed opportunity. I would have traded the AOF and SamSho OVAs for that in a heartbeat.
>>164843142
I'd like to see how Rock's alliance with Kain plays out, se Gato get some closure with his old man, and the plan to have a female apprentice of Joe's would show off a more responsible side of him that hasn't really been featured even if he's absent.
I'd also like to see the results of Chonrei's training under Kim and Tung from the RB2 endings, but maybe that'd be harder to fit in the story, although not in the timeline.
Gameplay-wise, I wasn't a fan of limiting some attacks to TOP mode, but choosing part of thebar to have regenerating health was interesting enough to keep.
I also wonder if they'd change regenerating health from Just Defend into having it raise the power bar, as it happened in other games - maybe raising HP when the power bar's already full.
>>164863237
Probably just aiming to the younger crowd like with Shun'ei, they've done a good job of acknowledging the charm of their past that older players like, but they can't rely on that forever.
>>164863237
People are already shitting on it? We don't even know if it's a good or bad game.
Like the other anon said, the older fans can only keep SNK alive for so long if at all. Just like every other company out there they need to bring in new people. As long as the new games are good.
>>164897089
>I'd also like to see the results of Chonrei's training under Kim and Tung from the RB2 endings, but maybe that'd be harder to fit in the story, although not in the timeline.
I'd like that, it seems like a good way to bring them back. They should keep some of their moves, though. I always got a laugh out of the fact that their ancient fighting style includes a rolling cradle - it makes the handful of wrestlers in the Fatal Fury series seem less out of place.
>>164878089
Samurai Shodown
For that price on there I'd buy them.
>>164898773
Most of the complaints I've seen boiled down to
>Mobile? PASS
What's your opinion on Shun'ei, guys?
>>164899410
Part of me wants to say that too, but despite not liking it mobile is getting an even bigger share of the gaming pie as time goes by. I spent money on Rythm of fighters, shit was fun, if this turns out good I wouldn't mind giving it a try. I wouldn't automatically pass on it since it's on mobile. Even people in the shittiest of third world places have smartphones even if they're cheap ones, so it's a huge market. As long as SNK doesn't solely focus on that and forgets its old IPs I'm fine with it.
>>164901571
He doesn't seem to be a bad guy and might have a fun or goofy side to him since he's an Athenafag. Personally I don't like characters that are all edge or overtly cocky. I think his design is ok. I want to see how SNK develops him and Meitenkun.
>http://www.dualshockers.com/2017/01/07/give-ps4-retro-feel-free-samurai-samurai-shodown-vi-ps4-theme/
>>164901571
He looks chuuni as hell, but he's actually alright. I thought he'd be a stronger character in-game, though.
>>164903383
I love the images SNK makes for these themes, but the font always bugs me. Even when I turn on all the reading aids, it doesn't stand out from the background enough. Especially the themes that use red text, or blue-on-blue.
>>164901571
His design didn't have a big impact at first, but I started to like him more and more with time. I like the fact that he have an arrogant attitude like the other KOF protagonists, but at the same time seems to be more calm and a good boy. He also have interesting connections with other characters, like Terry and Kyo as his senpais; Tung being friends with Chin, Athena and Kensou; his win quote with Mian was cute and his friendship with Meitenkun. My guess is that he'll have problems to control his powers in the future games, so maybe he'll have some devil/riot of blood form or something like that.
About the mobile RPG, it's funny to think that not that long ago everyone was like "oh shit I bet that the new SNK game is another pachinko trash!" and I'm glad we are over it.

SNK is just the weirdest company in Japan. It's so apparent that they still are used to the 16-bit(/'24'-bit) ways of making games, because they had to skip two whole generations. The new logo sound is exactly their old one but in higher fidelity. I'm convinced that they first make these games comparable for the good ol' Neo Geo, and then high def it.
>>164921223
Stay mad, Joe
>>164926357
I'm not sure that's fair. Back in their prime they worked with full bands as well as midi stuff, so as far as their music is concerned, they haven't had to change much. I think it's more like they're able to fall back into their old ways when they want to.
I was about to argue with you about that whole "skipping 2 whole generations" thing, but then I remembered that they did skip two, just not in succession. Their PS2 run feels like it was just yesterday.
>XIV is horribly unbalanced
>Virtually every character is competitively viable
The fuck are smoking the game detractors?
>>164931216
Wut? Context please.
>>164932565
I was reading through the #KOFXIV hashtag and most complaints were "game is poorly balanced", "characters with fast lk are top tier" and the like.

Man, I'd show how these people are full of shit if I had a twitter. On a positive note Frionel did just that when gunsmith and atma were going on about that.

I think he was good in XIII, but since I didn't followed that game scene I just found out about him recently.
>>164958726
>excuse me sir, do you have a moment to hear the word of our Lord Oroc-
Am I the only one who never really liked XI and XIII? They never really clicked for me like the older games did, or like XIV has been for me.
03 and XII are basically on the same train of thought there but I don't think anyone actually likes those.
>>164958726
The best part of Another Day.
Looking back, I think the best game ADK made for the NeoGeo is either Magician Lord or Twinkle Star Sprites. TSS is really good, and something I still play to this day, but the arcade version of ML really stands out from the rest of the early Neo Geo titles.
>>164961134
>not liking team based combos and saving shifts

Keep Luong's number on speed dial, that should slow him down.

>TFW you're the only one who likes 03
>>164964761
I like it too, I play it with a friend on a weekly basis
>>164961134
I like '03. It was easier to do team shifts in that game, and the music was decent. And it's the last KoF game with Yamazaki and Chizuru in it, so I still play it for those two.
>>164960880

Since this PS4 slim bundle is a thing in china what does it mean for XIV? Is it doing good or bad there, or is sony pushing the fuck out of it there?
Is a game being bundled with a console a good or bad thing in general? I wonder how many of those will be produced.

>>164971596
Generally, when a game gets a console bundle months after release, that's a good sign. That usually happens when the the game itself is popular. China's really strict about where and how many consoles can be sold, so I don't think Sony could afford to piss retailers off by forcing a bundle onto them.
Now we're talking!

>>164998224
sure, in 2d it's easy to for them do that for stuff like portrait or cinema still arts
The engine used in kofxiv will be used in any new fighting game snk makes.
>>165005653
That's the plan. They've shown they can get better at using it. XIV was just the first one.
>>165009572
Heck, I'm 99.99% sure that the 1.10 update happens just because they kept working on the engine, for their future games.
Had they decided to ditch the engine for future games they would not have bothered to improve on it.
>>165009572
hopefully they add physics some day. this game would look great with a combination of animated cloth as well as physics.
saiha
>>165011546
give them some time to learn it, you can't just throw in amateurish stuff like RK physics and think you've solved the problem when that'll just introduce heavy often redundant computation and drop frames
>>165014757
yeah I'd rather not have weirdass clipping going on even in the fucking character select screen like SFV
>>165016056
thing is rigid body physics especially in 3d (and this is from personal experience) is not something so easy to program without expecting some kind of frame drops
even if you group elements together, it just becomes O(n logn) best case instead of O(n*m) and that's only a slight improvement with a worst case of having to test surface to surface collisions of triangles within the same object as well, and keep in mind you also have to test simultaneous collisions and find a solution that involves no clipping at any configuration/orientation of a surface or attached surfaces, and often times that requires an estimated initial collision time and reacting to the collision on that by calculating new physics from an intermediate time between frame 0 and the next frame, and if there's a new found collision there, lather rinse repeat the above until you get the final point of the surface(s)
by the way, the above is sort of like a bisection method algorithm (simple algorithm used to guess roots) but used for solving relative initial collision points of surfaces
>>165017291
That sounds really complicated
>>165017291
hi Jim
>>165019870
oh, but programming does grow on trees and any programmer instantly knows tricks like that
i bet you know how to calculate the line segment generated by a surface-surface intersection, right? i mean that is only common sense, right
>>165019992
hi
>>165017291
Fuck, this makes me appreciate all the work and support they've put in the game with the had the devs were dealt.
>>165023529
a huge fallacy that people make is that they assume that the programmers hired know everything about everything there is to programming
it's that same fallacy one could make walking into a retail store with separate departments and thinking one single employee knows every single little thing within every single department of that store and then going "WTF YOU WORK HERE WHY DONT YOU KNOW THIS THING" "Sir this is electronics, appliances section is over there" "YOU PLUG IN A WASHER AND DRYER TOO THAT MEANS THEY ARE ELECTRICAL" "Well yes but--" "WHY DO I COME HERE THEY HIRE LITERALLY ANYBODY THESE DAYS BIJOVE REKA FREKA UNRELIABLE"
and yet these kinds of customers were just as dumb if not more so about the jobs they held in the past
And I just realized we never got the demo here in burgerland. Way to drop the ball Sony/SNK/Atlus
>>165026629
When it comes to stuff like this it's usually sony or maybe it could be somwthing else. Since the patch isn't technically out yet maybe they weren't allowed to put it up because false advertiding since it wouldn't display the current state of the game. I know it sounds stupid as fuck, but burger advertising and copyrght law is justt crazy wnough for it to be the case.

Yeah, that's probably what it is. What it tells me is that the guys at SNK are working on getting better with 3D.
In other news on the 14th there will be a chinese qualifier for 3 places. in addition to the tournaments that have already happened and the Korean and peruvian tournament. Taking those into account how many positions does that fill?
https://twitter.com/KlausYing/status/818384390442991616
Also if >>165040002 is any indication the chinese are receiving the game better than I thought. I thought they didn't like it.
>>165040659
I think it's still 16 people overall. There has been only handful of qualifier tournaments so far so they need to fill the slots and fast.
I worded that strangely I meant if we take into account the qualifiers that have already happened, plus the ones taking place this week how many people would have qualified? around 10? Was SCR a qualifier?

If it was said that SNK Playmore now doesn't have equipment for 3D, what happened to the equipment they used for Metal Slug 3D?
>>165049842
I'm no expert so this will be coming out of my ass, but my guess is the the equipment used to make a ps2 game that's a decade old wouldn't have enou imph to make a ps4 game. Either that or when they got rid of their pachinko division and restructured they got rid of their unneeded or obsolete stuff. When you clean house you throw out the shit you don't need, no?
Is it just me or is Kof 13 Ralf's poke normals are a tad weak compared to that of 98? Isnt him poking and doing devastating normal games the reason why he is good in 98?
How is he in 14?
>>165053382
Metal Slug Attack has the best waifus.
>>165053679
Ralf is worse at poking in 14, if you can't force the opponent to respect his standing D you're basically stuck fishing for hits. He's got easier combos, but they're not as flexible as the rest of the cast's.
>>165056090
I take it his st.C and cr.C is still good or are both nerfed to hell and back?
Two more days anons.
>>165056431
Yeah, they're still good. They are similar to how they were in 13.
>>165051579
And what will it take for SNK to get new 3D equipment to make a sandbox beat-em-up like how Sega does it? It doesn't have to be as advanced as Shenmue or Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza. Maybe like how Sega did the Senjou no Valkyria/Valyria Chronicles games?

>>165096871
AoF1's story was basically that of a classic scrolling beat-em-up anyway.
>>165102450
Yeah, the single player mode was the real meat of the first game. The VS mode felt more like an add on, similar to VS modes from games like Double Dragon.
Snk acquired the rights to data east right?if so can we get a kof team based on some of those character's
>>165106143
Nope - they licensed Mizoguchi once for KOF MIRA ins exchange for the license holder using FF character in a Fighters History crossover for mobile.
The license holder for Data East is primarily G-mode, but IIRC there's another for a few specific games.
>>165109403
That Terry looks like he's really enjoying this.
>>165066437
That's kind of odd in SNK's case. Isn't 3D cheaper nowadays for other companies?
>>165096871
Yes please
>>165111440
Cheaper than spriting in modern resolution with the demanded amount of animation frames, yes. But most companies tend to hire people who are already at least somewhat adept at it. SNK themselves said they had a low budget for this game and apparently they were unable to afford employees that were at that level since they ended up having to figure it out themselves.

Where does SNK even find half of the Voice Actors?
>>165119234
Japan isn't very big country and seems to have lots of voice actors, so they probably can just grab random people off street and in all likelyhood it's a voice actor.
>>165119234
They either recruit or have some staff doing voices. As per example here's and old AoF1 interview that shows this.
http://shmuplations.com/aof/
Sometimes they get actual seiyuu and VA's for example the chick who did Yuri in XIV is also the VA for pic related. The system voice is also done by max powers who has done voiceovers for ads, voiced the foreign guy in Kabaneri and I think some live action stuff. The guy is literally a gaijin living the gaijin dream. Sylvie's VA, according to her twitter, has her own radio show, is an MC, voices a variety show's mascot and sings. Then there's Ichiki he's a fan and seiyuu (fuck those who bullied him during the Kokoro connect incident also Kanemoto a shit for rubbing it in), he doesn't currently have a role in the game, but he will for the arcade version (it won't be a character).
In short I suppose they just put out ads and choose between whoever answers them.

SNK wiki have some summaries and trasnlations http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=drama+cd&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns14=1#
It's small, but has anyone seen how the update affects the special intros?
>>165164354
All right, thanks.
New question: Any reason why SNK was always into secret bosses that you must beat up to get the "true" ending? Refer to where you can only get your character's ending in Garou Mark of the Wolves if you beat up Kain.
>>165171857
Quarter-munching. The reason for hard SNK bosses was so it would make it harder for you to reach the end goal and you'd have to put in as much money as you could to defeat the end boss. The secret boss is only an extension to that, meaning you'd have to feed in even more money if you made a mistake to do over until you reached said boss, which was its own replay value. Of course once these games came home, that mattered less, but even then it still made single players play the game more.
Is that a Dan reference I see?

i'm looking at sylvie combo videos and some have combos where you do blowback -> close C -> quickmax -> blowback -> etc, but that second blowback misses
i guess this no longer works after a patch? i've never gotten that 2nd blowback to hit
>>165174048
Where?
>>165178854
Pink gi probably.
>>165178930
meh I think not
>>165174668
I really hope they put a limit on how much you can repeat a special to hit in a single combo before the hitbox disappear. Like perhaps repeating the special move four times will render the fifth disappear. Reseting a combo will reset also the specials limit.
That and increase the normal attacks damage of large characters like KoD, Maxima, Ralf, etc.
>>165144262
that's one dedicated fujo
nice collection
>>165179119
How many viable combos there are where one special move is used more than 4 times?
>>165148489
Prime breeding material.
>>165180096
probably none, but the specials aren't even the issue with ramon, it's just his cr.A
>>165180096
Isnt there a Joe stun combo and that Leona combo that can stun you too? I seem to recall that Bala was able to use two max modes in one combo.
seems harder to do sylvie's qcfx2+PP into itself
How to make the Ramon infinite even easier:
https://twitter.com/fair_loves_luka/status/818817322840256513
>>165180420
The issue is that he can cancel his cr.a into a normal dash.
Today was a good day.
Hol up.
Did the patch get released today?
>>165185069
well then all they have to do is remove that property, since i don't think anyone else has that anyway
>>165187075

but Geese already looked good before but now he's fucking spectacular and on par with how nightmare geese looked before. personally though I think Nightmare Geese looks worse after the update.
I also dont care for them changing his effects into a really dark shade of purple with a highlight of black, I'd rather they'd have kept the old effect or change it back to Blue like its supposed to be.

Yeah, that blew.
While I absolutely appreciate SNK's support with the world championship, it's hard to get hype when the thing is so poorly organized
We didn't know shit about it until just a while ago, qualifiers are revealed last minute not giving players time to plan ahead so they can attend, and top 4 being in China could be a problem for some players since it's one more travel required
I hope they plan things better for next year
>>165272597
I absolutely agree. Capcom Pro Tour and Killer Instinct qualifiers are known way ahead of time. I think SNK should learn from that.

They apparently fixed the Ramon bug already. Now I wonder when they will finish with the patch. What's more worry some though is when Sony will deliver it. Also looking at Neo-G's tweet itself, did he put in a certain reference in there? I see a "Muda Muda Mudaaaaa!" in there.
Apparently crazy Ralf is a thing.

Reminder that the Korean Qualifier is scheduled to start in 11.5 hours.
Story mode special intro with Andy and Mai post 1.10. I wonder how the others really look.
At the expense of sounding like a complete and total autist, post something you niggers! Don't wait until the thread is on page 9 or 10. Not just recently, but it's been like this for a while. It's an SNK general not just about XIV. Even in regards to XIV there's things that have been posted or that are going on that no one said anything about whether it's good or saying it's shit. For example the online bug that makes it look like one rage quit is triggered by going into the my profile section. It can be avoided by not tinkering with it at all. Neo_G has mentioned the bug's being worked on, hell they already resolved Ramon's infinite and are working on fixing other stuff, but despite working as fast as they can the new patch might not be out by the weekend.
The thing that this painfully slow pace tells me is that people don't care. This isn't just something I've seen during what people would consider working hours, but through out all hours of the day and every day of the week. Even if it's just some simple thought about a minuscule thing about an SNK game, the company itself, a character, or some shit. What you like about a certain character or any you thought are overrated/shit, any questions you have or something that you've been curious about, any little known stuff that you may know about, any SNK stuff you own or wish you had, inviting anons to play a game online (not just XIV) or even a gripe about something. Something you would like to happen or would like SNK to do. Even some joy, happiness, or even frustration as long as it gets people talking. Once people stop then what's the point on going on? Or tell me that I'm completely wrong and a Total fag.
>>165352380
Damn son, Kyo is looking hella ripped there.
>>165352380
I'm here all the time, but I don't even have XIV yet (still waiting for the pc version). Also I don't play Metal Slug Attack so it's not like I have much to talk about any of their "current" games other than reposting fun stuff from twitter or dumb e-celeb dramas
What is he going to do?

>>165355302

>>165352380
yeah, is pretty darn odd the way activity grinds to a halt so often.
These days I showed XIV to my friend's son, the boy is 8 years old and it was the first time he played a fg, and the kid just loved KOD since the moment he saw there was a dinosaur on the select screen. We played for hours and at the end he even managed to decide on a main trio already: KOD, Nakoruru ("she trowns a bird on the opponent?") and Mian because the mask looks cool. He also liked "sand guy" ("he is kinda silly, but it's funny to throw sand on people").
>>165356505
that's nice, I wish I had a younger brother/cousin with any interest in fighting games at all
most kids I know these days would dislike them cause they're "too complicated", it's sad
>>165356505
That's actually pretty nice. I hope he keeps on playing.
>>165356505
I now he's 8yo but what did he think about mai or angel
>>165357669
I managed to teach which buttons were for punch/kick/rolling and how to teleport with Kukri, but it'll take some time until he learns how to do bodegas and hops. It's a start tho.
>>165357902
I hope so too! At least he had fun and wasn't frustrated when losing.
>>165358238
Kek
>>165358238
He wanted his mom to play with him too and she ended up selecting Zarina on her team. They both laughed when they saw her pants but the mom liked Zarina since it was also her first time playing the game and she won. Then the boy said his mom "should choose someone with more clothes next time" lmao
>>165359170
You have to teach him to body people with Dino anon
when
>>165362517
Maybe one day. I know that Kuroki said that he recently made her and Jack for fun, but with SNK's announcement saying that they have stuff planned out I have a feeling that he may be up to something. What it is I don't know.

Red/angry Allen O'Neil is a separate character in the game too, and like Ralf he has a reputation for surviving anything, it makes sense both would get these counterparts.

Oh no King, Yuri, and Kasumi are going to be jealous. I guess it's because of her idolization for sumo wrestlers and Ryo's favorite sport is sumo.
Leona looks anemic in 1.10
her skin is legit almost gray now
>>165396804
I think they were trying to emulate the neo geo KoF colors. Funnily that's what the neo geo KoF skin tones looked like to me. The colors for the neo geo KoF games felt different and didn't feel the same as other games on it. It might just be me though.
>>165388820
Marco creating her tells me that he's a weeb.
hishouken
>>165397589
idk if that's intentional for one reason or another, it just looks weird I guess, especially because other females look fine (Yuri, Mai, Mature and others have normal coloring on their skin)
>>165400697
Honestly I wouldn't know how to tell you. Like mentioned, first thing that comes to mind is them going for the neo geo colors and maybe not qetting them quite right. I know that it's been mentioned in regards to this game before, but it really does look better in person. Example being when I tried it in person and saw Gang il, he really did look better in person than on video. Also maybe another explanation could be that it's to reflect her emotional state, you know despite improving she's still pretty deadpan. Personally I'd chuck it to the first reason since the same is shown in a few other characters. I imagine that emulating 2D with 3D is pretty tough. In the grand scheme of things though, even though I'm not 110% happy with it, the update is an improvement and I'm fine with it.
Perhaps her grey skin is on account of being bitten by a Metal Slug zombie in between patches?
I bully because I love
>>165405501

So, I guess the Korean Qualifier isn't getting streams?
What is it with asian tournaments not streaming or putting them behind a paywall?

>>165411758Yuri
I didn't see SNK among the list. Their teams must still relatively fresh I suppose since they built everything from the ground up for XIV. Don't really care much about the switch, but perhaps maybe they'll announce something later down the line once they've already made more games and get back in the groove of things. Either that or China/Sony has SNK by the balls. I'm still leaning to them being relatively fresh, what with everything we've known so far.
>>165415478
Also in addition to what I've posted, compared to most of those on the list, what with their current situation SNK is pretty small. Now that I think about it them not being listed makes sense.
>>165412985

Shitposting in the dub thread for zelda was fun. There were some real ass pained burgers in there when multi language dubs of the trailer was posted and the eng zelda sounded bad when compared to others.
Back on topic: did they stop updating the brackets for the Korean qualifier or did they stop the tournament for today? It hasn't updated for me in quite a while.

You've got my attention. Seeing her would be nice as long as they kept characters to a reasonable amount. Personally I don't mind losing some of my favorites for someone new. I'd easily be able to find someone i like.

It'll start in about 2 minutes after they finish these interviews. GET IN THERE. I made a few OP with that info on, but I failed to use a girl image so they never caught on. Speaking of which, I think it's been long enough for Mai in DOA to be hanging out in next OP.

In regards to Metal Slug 5's attempt at using cutscenes for plot, would it be possible that the cutscene after Mission 1 where that native took that mask indicate that the Evil Spirit Incarnate sent that mask and the lightning the ensued when the native wore it show that the Evil Spirit Incarnate was talking to the native? And would it also indicate the event had happened thousands of years prior, making the native the founder of the Ptolemiac Army based on unused sprites?
>>165451998
That could be it, but MS1 and 5 are made by different people. I think it's just a retcon.

From what I saw it was a nice run. That reminded me that I was subscribed to this one Korean guy on youtube that would put up speedruns (even some with special rules) and score attack videos among some other Metal slug related things. As far as I know he stopped uploading a while back. I wonder what happened to the guy. I hope he's doing ok.

>>165461113
Too bad he doesn't look like this in the game.

>>165462585
true, they should have made him with an afro in the sprites too
>>165462585
>>165463538
True, at least he looks a bit different than his regular version. His version on sf2 on the switch is just a palette swap of his normal version. I looks like capcom didn't even try. Either way I wonder how SNK would've handled SvC chaos if they weren't dead at the time. The crossovers basically were thought of and made during the Eolith era. I wonder what other characters would have been chosen.
>>165464406
>His version on sf2 on the switch is just a palette swap of his normal version. I looks like capcom didn't even try
Yep
>>165409882
>the Korean Qualifier isn't getting streams?
Goddamnit! I hate this kind of incompetence from SNK. I know they're awesome for organizing the world cup tournament, but is it that hard to at least stream the qualifier tournaments? In this age of easy access to an internet connection, streaming is so easy that anybody could do it. It would even attract more attention to the game.
I HOPE they at least stream the main tournament.
>>165472212
I don't think SNK themselves arrange the qualifiers, that's for the locals.
So blame korean's for being lazy.
>>165472874
This, I think it falls more on the T.O.s. and as far as I know SNK just decides which ones get to be qualifiers. I think SCR was a qualifier (I think that's how Reynald qualified since Xiaohai was already in) and it kept switching between the main and back-up channels. SNK had no say in that, it was all in the T.O.s.
Also the not streaming or them being behind a paywall seems more prominent in asia, that's just my observation though. There's been a few jap tournaments that weren't streamed either and some that required a subscription fee. I remember that not too long there was a televised XIV tournament on fuji TV and it didn't get streamed even though the show running it has a twitch channel. Must have been something to do with the TV network.
>>165473576
Forgot to mentioned that during SCR there were all sorts of scheduling issues and I think one of the games didn't even get streamed even though it was scheduled for it. I think it might have been either BB or GG I don't exactly recall.
>>165467596
>Granny panties Mai
I feel bad for the Chinese getting all those censored female characters. They could at least try to make them look more stylish.
At least Angel's version doesn't look too bad.
>>165474350
Something like FF3 Mai would've been nice for them since she's more covered up in that one. Fuck, if she were to ever get a DLC costume I'd be fine with it.
>>165476073
>FF3 Mai
Holy shit you are right. Her outfit looks classy as fuck and it still retains the ninja theme.
Anyway, why did SNK make Mai's outfit more slutty with every new KOF game? Her outfit in 13 is fucking insane, looking at her from the back makes it look like she's naked.
>>165461113
Can never get enough of that Nona style. Makes me wonder what a game would look like if they actually used that kind of coloring and shading. Probably a bit depressing.
>>165476832
She's the token SNK whore and T don't mean that personality-wise. In most cases whenever there's a collaboration or something Mai is the one who usually does the job. When she debut she caused kind of an uproar. I've heard that she's even an inspiration for DoA. Also time's change what was racy during her debut is pretty tame today. Gotta keep getting people's attention somehow.
>>165478090
>Gotta keep getting people's attention somehow.
Is there even a sluttier outfit in the SNK world than Mai's?
The one I can think of is that MI assasin Lien.
>>165479381
In XIV there's Angel and part of her shtick is being mischievous. I think that's a bit more racy.
Mai refers to herself as being pretty traditional when questioned about her outfit or when she's told to cover up and to a degree Mai's choice of clothes kinda make sense. Historically ninjas often functioned as spies, informants or even went undercover and even Kunoichi would use the fact that they were women to their advantage even at times seducing or even sleeping with people for info.
>>165480089
Fuck, I just realized that's a huge run-on sentence. That's what happens when one gets little sleep, but I think the point still comes across.

I wonder if I'll be able to watch since I deleted my jewbook a while back.
>>165486519
>>165474350
I genuinely prefer their version of Alice and Luong. The regular Alice kind of clashes against her cutesy design direction and Luong's magic boob window that is glued tightly to her nipples don't make any sense. I think those look more stylish. The best case scenario would be SNK giving us an option to choose in the future, I'm not holding my breath on it, though.
>>165489868
The visual upgrade actually changed Luong's titwindow so that it now looks more like cloth than a clear plastic wrap.
It looks better now, but is also less revealing.

I don't know if it already started, but there's an Angel.
Fug, there's not many people watching since they didn't really advertise it. Can anyone with social media help spread it?
The fuck is going on with the stream?
Well I guess they either ran into some problems Or didn't give a fuck about the stream. It stopped. I'm not too sure, but the bracket might've updated since. T-thanks Korea.
At least there will be the Peruvian one on sunday.

>>165523464
A while back before 98 Athena got released someone posted on twitter that the Chinese would be getting Shun'Ei/Sylvie the following month, so who knows if true. Also I think Oda announced on facebook that another costume would be coming at the end of January, but didn't specify which.
https://twitter.com/gatoray_kof/status/820141543231107073
I guess the stream really dead, but they're still going.
>>165523618
SNK advertised the peruvian one a week or two ago as well as being announced even before that. SNK also advertised the one in Taiwan and Korea this past week. Whether the TOs are competent, who knows, sadly there's nothing SNK can really do about that.
>>165523618
According to this
https://pvplive.net/c/three-international-kof-xiv-world-qualifier-events
Only the Peruvian one is left
>>165525154
The taiwan one was to be done up to a certain point online and then top 8, will be done in person on the 21st. Whether top 8 will be streamed is unknown. At least the Peruvian one will be on Romance's channel, but it's at 8 am pacific on sunday.

Rimururu is quite young, same with Momoko and Rock Howard according to the timeline(and from 2kum Terry's mid combat win celebration) is still a shota so yeah, that is why I am picking them out for the SNK youth team.

yes
the arcade release can't come fast enough to inject some competitive life into this game.

>competitive life
There seems to be constant tournaments for the game, almost weekly, so I don't really get this argument.
Or do you mean "competitive life in English speaking areas"?

I know he needs to use his strong characters in tournaments, but I would love to see him wrecking shit with Xanadu.

I honestly don't know what NESTS expected to do with a truckload of fire-tossing grunts that couldn't be accomplished with guns instead. Maybe if they were all as strong as K', I'd understand, but I don't think they were. They'd have had better luck making a boy band, DESU.
>>165560183
He really hung in there with Mature. That combo off the jumping CD near the end was solid.

Aww shucks SNK that's a real sweet recruitment message.
>>165562979
Based on the fact they were undercover, I'd wager they were to assassinate all world leaders, which leads to mass chaos. NESTS then comes out and ushers in a New World Order.
So why is there so much hate for this guy? I haven't played KoF since 98 and I wanted to give XI a shot but my friend just said to skip any game with this guy.

He hid what his true plans were from his friends and allies, stole Chizuru, Iori and Kyo powers, trolled a few more characters and his plans would fuck things really badly if it went even more wrong.
I personally did not like his bitch attitude, but I'm willing to give him a new chance if he comes back. I think some people also did not like his design.
>>165568819
A design that is effeminate, not to mention having an asshole-ish attitude that shit-faced the heroes on the side being smug as fuck while being championed as the new hero with little to no explanation for why he is the hero can do wonders if you ask me. Imagine if a new hero like him appears today in the marvel or DC universe that stole the spotlight of the classic ones and you will see the same hate for said hero(though said shit is kind of happening, with the stories of a black iron woman and the plans of killing Peter parker and putting Miles in the forefront)
Good thing he didnt touched Terry else I will be.... nahh I wont torch SNK offices, that is if they have one back then. I am glad that Ash can push his bullshit unto others but he got visibly flustered when he is talking to Terry in 13, the few times his smug facade broke which is fun to see.
>>165568819
Forgot to say that you should try XI and XIII at least. XII is a beta for XIII so there's no need to try that. 2003 is like the most forgoten kof game in my opinion, but it was the start of Ash Saga; XI is a personal favorite.
>>165568819
Because he was a colossal dick with zero repercussions for his actions for years. This was ultimately setting up for a big comeuppance/bad end, but we had no way of knowing what was going to happen, so there was a lot of time for sour opinions to develop. Some people spent six or seven years hating his guts before XIII, so that's not really gonna change things.
It was probably on purpose, build up a hated character so you can tear them down (eventually). I'm playing devil's advocate but even then the stuff he did like messing with Iori felt a bit too much like a "this is the new top dog" thing.
He was a too-successful troll.
>>165486386
>>165486519
That's okay, I liked another Iori and he looked gayer than K', I would like to see SNK using that design again some day. None of them can top another Beni tho
>>165486386
Wouldn't mind this being an alt in XIV.

He's a dick, and karma is quite the delicacy.
>>165562979
Maybe the fire powers were a backup plan in case there were disarmed, ran out of ammo or had to get past metal detectors.
