I haven’t really had problems with lag that much besides a select few matches but I am enjoying it so far. It ain’t like other fighters are doing a whole lot better online anyhow.
So kudos.
Capcom has full-time translators. There is no reason SNK could not afford to hire 1. Smaller companies than both SNK and Capcom also have full-time translators.
I was just bringing up my company as an example, but I think besides Capcom this is true of most of the industry. The point is that when you are selling twice or three times the volume in the US or Europe, and you still don’t give a shit about that market, there’s something wrong there. I don’t know what SNK’s numbers are, so I can’t say for sure, but I would be pretty surprised if Garou didn’t sell more overseas than in Japan.
As for the KOF12 matches, I’m being totally honest. And that’s across four arcades: Alpha Channel, Shinjuku Taito Station, a Nakano arcade that I hit up every once in awhile and another bigger one in Akiba. I only really frequent the first two, but have still yet to see a match. Usually the machine is empty or one person is playing.
Agreed, we’ve had about 3 or 4 pages of complaints (at least at 40 posts per page, which is what mine is set to).
Let’s talk about the actual game instead and not the XBL port.
What are we looking at for proper combo links with Hotaru? I potentially saw QCB + K as a possibility, but haven’t checked it out thoroughly, and I know this game has been around long enough for people to know. Divulge please?
qft. it might not be the best, but it sure shows snk that there’s an audience willing to sacrifice a couple of bucks to have it ported or whatever.
Forgive the double post.
I’m hearing a lot of ramblings about the popularity of KOF 12 and it’s unfortunate that there isn’t a big fanbase at the arcades. That said, i’m still going to purchase KOF 12 because I find the series intriguing. It’s just a pity that we have the technology to make something decent, but SNK doesn’t use it. Very aggravating. Thanks Capcom for at least trying/attempting to enter the next century.
I simply don’t understand SNK. Don’t they care about releasing a quality product?
Yeah man. Their games are good but their attitude towards business is starting to bother me. I’m sure Ignition will come through in the end, and make sure the online netcoding is fine for 12 (for some of you). I mean all that hype they’ve been trying to bring to it would be a waste otherwise…and that’d suck ass:bluu:.
it could be like HDR where they are seeing the level of interest in the Fatal Fury franchise. Im sure that wont matter to OMG ONLINE! haters though
G. O.T, are you really saying that if the online code sucks the game is a failure?

I did a Hotaru write up a while back which covers all of the things you should be using with her. Same for other characters listed there.
I just got this game a couple hours ago and played a couple of online player matches. Unfortunately, it was not that responsive as there was some input lag in each of my matches and they were under 80 ping. I wanted to play this so I don’t get burned out on street fighter but I might have to get ggpo if I want to learn how to be decent at this game.
I want someone else to check this.
Disconnect from XBL and try to play. It says I don’t have authority to access any of the modes.
It says that to me if I try to play Fatal Fury Special with Live disconnected.
Check to see if it does it with MotW though. If it does I am going to be extremely pissed.
If this is true…
…then how can this also be true?
Why would you burn money on a shoddy product when you know it’s going to be shoddy, and know there are better options out there?
I was ignorant in the ways of SNK up until last night (As I bought FFS on discount after everyone had abandoned it), but it taught me one thing. I will not buy another SNK title until they get their act together. IF they get their act together.
I’ll reiterate what I said before, purchasing a product that is subpar is EXACTLY the same as rewarding that company for doing a horrible job. “You did awful the last 10 attempts at a port! It’s pretty obvious you’re going to do a horrible job on the next release, so look, here’s my $60 for your lazy attempt at a console port, congrats on doing a poor job, and I hope you continue to do so!”
Look guys, people have tried to talk to SNK. Ignition did this and failed. We could write petitions up the Wazoo, but SNK is not going to listen, because they don’t care. As long as you guys keep shelling out for their shoddy ports, they AREN’T going to care.
If showing them with your words haven’t changed anything by now, here’s a REVOLUTIONARY idea: Show them with your pocketbooks. If they release a turd like this again: DON’T BUY IT! If you see reviews for a game like this, DON’T BUY IT!
SNK will see the hit in profits and one of two things will happen:
- They will figure out that the customers want them to fix what they’ve been complaining about, and they actually do it.
- They continue to bask in ignorance and stubbornness, continue to recycle the same garbage netcode they have been, no one buys it, SNK folds up. And considering they would still be ignoring their customer base’s concerns, it serves them right.
Very nice guys. Will be working on that on my Garou: MOTW Training Edition on Xbox Live with Satellite Delayed Multiplayer Service.
Stuart: Signed on with a secondary (non-Live) account, and was able to get into arcade mode.
Thanks. Seems kind of dumb I have to do that. But hey, it’s SNK. 95% of the time their products are FUBAR anyways.
I stopped reading at this. How old are you?
Yeah, that was a little childish and low-brow on my part. My bad.
Fixed.
I’ve had a few friends and other SRK members check this and they are able to play on their main accounts while being offline.
What the hell?
Let me try it with my main account. I was just too lazy to actually sign out of live and not my main.
