Tung and Jenet made me laugh I haven’t seen anyone use them in awhile. Elizabeth seems good but I hate the character same with Vanessa so as Im personally bias Ill bow out of that one. Athenas solid as are your other charcters.
As far as tourney goes unless it is expressly stated Id say let it rock. Most of the stuff depends upon individual execution but yeah just check the rules.
btw, what do people play more regularly regarding in kof xi these days?
arcade mode?
or arrange mode?
isn’t arrange mode more balanced?
Personally, I’d really like to make KOFXIII my game (only have time for one), but the online is just a deal breaker. I need a game to have good online so I can play after work, for practice but also for daily enjoyment. I’ve seen the suggestions to play older KOF games, but playing obscure games with foreigners on GGPO isn’t going to be fulfilling for many people, especially ones with tournament aspirations such as myself.
This whole sad state of affairs seems to be caused by complete incompetence on behalf of SNKP. They could have had a phenomenon on their hands in my opinion, if they’d just realized that there’s something called internets. I hope they remain financially stable and learn from their mistakes.
Of interest when I was at SCR, there was a Japanese pair they were the same ones I remember seeing at Evo and I think they have something to do with either SNKP or Atlus as they were around that section, At Evo and SCR when finals were going on and what I could piece together from their conversation (venue was loud) was/is that they are liking what they see. More money was added to the KOF pot right twoards the end of KOF top 8 (SCR) so people from the higher ups are taking note. They are trying to help the scene I just hope that they get heard by thier own bosses and we may begin to find some change on the horizon.
Ha ha, no. By those times the arcade market was practically dead, general public didn’t care at all about CvS2, KOF 2002 or others, most of them didn’t even learn of the existence of those games.
OK, that’s it. KOF XII could have been a great hit, but it was a complete fumble instead. Simply, SNK Playmore is a very limited company and by those times they were not able to get in the competition. At least they redeemed with KOF XIII, but I don’t expect more from them.
And I agree KOF is a too aggressive game for most of the casual audience; I mean, with Street Fighter a jump is a jump, a knockdown is a knockdown, with KOF games, first time you play you may end up completely bodied by rushing player, could be traumatizing LOL.
And Street Fighter concept and aesthetics -more cartoonish less anime more “international” characters- are much more appealing and worldwide attractive and friendly than KOF’s “75% Japanese” cast, that usually speaks in Japanese for everything and so. Tekken is the same thing, only it went for a realistic style instead of Street Fighter’s cartoony style, but it was equally appealing to an international audience.
Don’t think the things are gonna change, but the next 3D reboot could try to reach a bigger audience in gameplay, like XII tried, but this time well done XD
