also, a kof thread about loketests is cool. but couldnt we just put the new screens and all that in the same kof thread or just merge these motherfuckers. its getting tiring looking at 3 different kof threads to see what to post where. just my 2 cents.
Yeah Midway sucks asscheeks I’m sorry to say. The MK series was ok but I think that because at the time I was young and naive:rofl: the only other fighting games I was playing at the time was SNK and Capcom and some offshoot fighters like Martial Champion lol
Athena looks cute. What’s up with the classic outfits though? Everyone seems to be wearing their’s except for Kyo.
MK in general is shit.
That’s actually a pretty good analogy, considering how much of a fireball spamfest MK2 is. Of course, unlike SF2, there was nothing beyond that.
I can think of 3 games…
Pac-Man, MK2, UMK3…
is it me or does athena look younger than ever. I like that shes chubby, but hate that she looks 13. I’ve never understood the whole change to school-girl uniform, i thought highschool ended like 4 years ago. unless she was held back and kyo wasn’t? i still like athena, just dont understand where they’re going with this.
on another note, why is terry back in his old duds? same with benimaru. i actually liked his 03-XI outfit. it was nice to see change. of course none of us know the answers to these questions yet, but we’ll all just have to wait and see.

Fanservice?
Possible alt costume, hopefully. Garou Terry looked too cool to just be gone after only 2 games.
i seriously doubt theyre gonna redraw a whole sprite set just to have an alternate costume
Isn’t this supposed to be the next big step up in the series? If so, they should be trying to move on from simple recolors and give us full-blown alt costumes.
It’s doubtful, but hopefully it’ll happen.
what would be the point of expending so much time/money redrawing every frame of a character to give them a new outfit when they could just make a new character for a little more effort?
personally i’d rather have more characters than alternate outfits
Nah…that animal-pattern print top was looking stupid as hell. I liked his solid color tops. They could’ve just shredded his jeans.
With this mindset in mind, why even bother putting all this effort into making a niche 2d game? They should’ve just recycled the same old sprites they’ve been using for the past decade and called it a day. It saves them money.
:rolleyes: new sprites are a significant gain, judging by all the people on here saying theyre now interesting in kof the upgrade will probably pay off. to most people being able to play as the same character in a different outfit probably doesnt interest them as much as being able to play as one more character, so it would be a waste of effort.
would you seriously take alternate costumes over more characters?
I don’t see why having alt costumes would mean having less characters, if SNK is truly putting all they having into making this the next big game in the KoF series.
^QFT, and speaking of characters SNK please PLEASE put Leona, Yamazaki and a appropriate Robert Garcia in KOFXII, and according to the ending’s in XI why not Heidern, Andy, Ron, Chang, Choi, Jhun, Joe, Takuma, and Mai (ugh I could go on all day), and if that’s too much (probably is) just make King her 2002 version
Uh, just because it’s a big game doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a budget and a deadline just like any other game. Do you have a clue how game development works? For everything you spend time/money on, something else has to give. By your logic, they could put a hundred characters in there. :rolleyes:
Don’t put words in my mouth.
I’m just saying if this is all SNK is hyping it up to be, there’s no reason why they wouldn’t put in a little extra effort and cash for something like alt costumes.
Like I said earlier, since you’re so obsessed with money constraints, they might as well just scrap this project since it’s obviously too expensive to make good 2d sprites.
The Arcadia article confirms REAL TIME LIGHTNING in the sprites.
First time this has ever been done in 2D, AFAIK.
A little? To make one (1) extra outfit, they have to retrace and redraw every frame of animation for a character’s sprite. The time and effort involved probably approaches that of having to draw a completely separate character.
