My only gripe is that Yuri isn't in it. :(They left out a lot of chars it seems.
Post by: Whoblehwah on July 19, 2009, 12:23:37 AM
Im gettin it for PS3 as well. We could have some matches.
They left out a lot of chars it seems.
Yeah. Since they had to make all new sprites a lot of characters got left it. The only console exclusives are Mature and Elizabeth, which is pretty lame. Nothing against them, but I just think they could've choosen two better characters. K' and Yuri woulda been cool. It also would've been cool to see Oswald again. That dude was f'n PIMP.

I hope it's true about the possible dlc characters. NYC people: Check j &l game store cuz I was told by a friend that they have it. For the new yorkers who don't know where it is, it's on Canal and Elizabeth st. across the street from te police station. I'm in Baltimore rigt now, so if anyone can confirm my friend's findings that would bre a plus!! :thumbsup:
I live in NYC and I know that store, but I got it at "Video Games New York" which is on 6th street and 3rd avenue in Manhattan.
The games........ disappointing. =\ I was really excited to play it, but after playing for about an hour all my excitment was replaced with an empty feeling. Characters are missing moves, theres no boss (you read that right, NO BOSS), and theirs only 3 modes of play. Arcade (which is more of a time attack mode), Versus, and Online. No story mode, no trials, just those 3 modes and practice. I havn't tried the online play yet since my connections being a jerk today. Hopefully that'll be really awesome and make the $60 I spent worth it.

Games not out yet but there's no way I'm paying $60.00 for a game that feels like it's not finished. All of the moves are missing characters missing and no BOSS what's that all about. I would of liked to see Rugal with some new sprites.

Chinatown Fair Acrade on Motts st in Chinatown has them both...side by side....literally, you can just see the difference in game play with them side by side. iam not a big KOF fan but i was hoping this was going to be nice, unfortunately, it isnt...

well....i played it...and it sheerly is a disappointment...as some posted before there is NO boss lol...i dont know what the hell thats about. if the lack of characters and modes is a way to make DLC, its defiently not right to sell you a half assed game and then re-sell you things that should have came with it.
They didn't leave out characters to make DLC, they did it because since they had to draw completely new sprites I would've taken way too long if they had a huge roster like the older games. I do agree about the game being disappointing though. I think they should've just done what Namco did with Tekken 6 and released to arcade then continued working on it before bringing it to consoles. Either that or this could've just been downloadable for $30.

well publishers put dates on things so it's not SNK fault, blame Ignition. Still the game is really good. And if people don't buy this one, don't expect to see a better KOF XIII. I mean think about it, 22 characters are already made, they can re use those sprites, do minor tweaks to animation, add attacks to those, easy work. Then focus on making another 20+ characters for the next game.
Any real SNK fan would buy this just so they can make enough money to make a better one next time around. I mean SNK already has the combat engine down and it's good, so the only thing left to do is tweak and add more characters to an already great system. I mean it did take them a long time to get this game's art down

Yeah, I think I've changed my mind about this game. At first I was really disappointed, but now that I've been playing the game more, I really like it. The fighting system is really good, the graphics are amazing, and even though a lot of favorites are missing, its still a great roster. The online has some issues, but if they ever fix it the game will be a lot better. Critical Counters FTW!

hahaha my friend and forum member Akeme played this game for hours and discovered something about this game. This game breaks the boundaries of all fighters in life. You can actually punch and kick fireballs and then press forward, forward to auto canel and run to get near your opponent. that is an insanely broken to the highest degree lol. hahahaha lol. This game imo is officially a piece of S%^$. I will never ever buy this game unless they patch it and add characters. I truly hope that its a glitch lol. Im sorry this made my day. This game deserves to be bashed and thats just one broken thing he figured out with many many many more things. Im sorry for all you KOF owners who are gona take this game seriously and all the loyal KOF fans out there. SNK has F'ed this one up.....sorry for all the lolz but its so funny i cant hide my emotion as i type this.
I was told the same thing by 12 ppl in an xbox live party chat. I am glad I didnt rush to get the game. I know of three ppl taking the game back on the same day they purchased it.

KOF character sprites were always stiff, which is why many find the game/company un-attractive.

for all the lol you're doing it seems you don't know anything about this game's combat engine, and is where the game shines. The technique you're speaking of is called "Deadlock" It's made to be like a parry. And you still have to time your attack's animation to perform the move. Specails normal can clash and give you the chance to attack again. Nothing to do with being "broken" but it's a game mechanic to add depth to the combat system.
The only reason it's not doing good is.......
people are crying like little girls because their favorite character didn't make it. Get over it! characters get cut in games all the time. King, my favorite didn't make the cut, but i'm not bitching about it, I'm enjoying the game. Look at the whole cast of Garou. All but one character is new. And for redesigned characters, SNK does this all the time, it's nothing new. SNK fans should know this, that's if you're a SNK fan. Robert is a main example, in KOFXI, he was a charge character. Now he's a shoto. Also, it takes SNK a very long time to draw these sprites, it took them 4 years to get what they have now, and fully animated. 2D pixel art is time consuming. Yeah they could have just reused old sprite, but people will still bee-otch, piss and moan.
Second, there's no story, well this game is a dream match, there will be no story. And who in the f**k plays a fighting game for a story??
3rd, which I can agree with, the netcode is terrible. Understandable, but check out Ignition's facebook page, they meet everyday with SNK to have to issue solved. Ignition wan't this game to be good as it can for the fans.
4th, no boss, I really don't have much to say about that. But i'm glad I don't have to put up with a SNK agonizing boss anyway, but I don't focus on single player in a fighter. Only people who suck against human players and or have no friends worry about that single player crap. And especially since this game has no real unlockables why bother.
The game shines where a fighting game should, the damn fighting. And there's no denying that. The game plays smoother and tighter than any KOF game. It easily has the best combat engine.
If you don't like it, don't f**k*** buy it, plain and simple. If you do like it, buy it and enjoy.

They should of just remained slapping random chars in a new fighting game with minor tweaks and release it as an updated year like they have for god knows how long.

i prefer games like kof, sf, tekken and soul calibur over the likes of GG, blaze blue, sengoku basara and hokuto no ken....these later games all play the same and i never really liked their game play.

BlazeBlue online code is the best imooh i didn't mean bb's online play, i was referring to gamplay itself.
i think they are using ggpo netcode for blaze blue, they were going to use ggpo for sf4 as well but the they said that the current consoles processing power couldn't handle the code alongside sf4 cus sf4 uses too much processing power already, they said they are looking for a workaround to optimize sf4 in order to add ggpo in the upcoming sf4:dash (something like sf3 2nd impact)....i think snk is aiming for sf4 online play at least.

i think they say it because its unstoppable which technically is true. it completely protects him from jump ins and nothing stops it
But you can block it or roll through it. Also I'm pretty sure Kyo's fireball (if thats still the name) stops it. Also, it make sense jump ins won't stop it because he's in the air while doing it.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about Kensou. If so, I don't see what the problem is. I can do a 5 hit combo with him very easily. Also, he has a move that does up to 17 hits by itself. Maybe you're just not good enough.

yeah he has a 17 hitter, not too hard to do, just work your opponent into the corner and then a good jump in will set you up for it. I posted the combo in my last post.
I've gotten good with (from best to worst) Andy, Kensou, Joe, Ralph, Ash, Goro, Raiden, Ash, Robert, Shen Woo, Leona, Terry, Clark. I'm still trying to work some strats with the others.

Graphically its good but if u been a fan of kof since 94 up to where kof xii is now u will be very dissapointed wit dis game.. game play got a lot slower and most or all characters are missing a lot of there moves. Duolon only has one special move. there is no boss on arcade mode just 5 ez stages dats it.. they really need to step up wit da next game.
Thats the same way I feel. The game is missing alot of content.
