Player matches and Rank.
not according to my game… theres a ranking section… If you play arcade mode online it counts as wins/losess and u go up in ranking… right now im pretty bad lol:sad:
Been playing the game since Friday and I’m loving it ^_^! The new game mechanics and refinements are a huge compliment to KOF’s game engine. The Sousai system cool too, it reminds me of what they did for the AOF games. You definitely can’t spam on projectiles and get away with it when someone sousai’s them.
The Sprites are really sexy as well. Before the patch, I had most of my matches really slow. With the patch, it is definitely better.
The ultimate insult I could give it.
A lifelong SNK fan, Arc-hater here, and I’m playing BB over this right now, despite winning a hell of a lot more at XII then I have any other fighter.
More updates, this time directly from SNK!
"Dear King of Fighters XII fans,
This weeks launch of THE KING OF FIGHTERS XII represents the culmination of four years of hard work to deliver a rebirth for the KOF franchise, but several key issues have arisen since its release that must be addressed. Rest assured that SNK PLAYMORE is fully committed to supporting the King of Fighters XII community by working to further improve the gameplay experience.
Were pleased to announce that the next software update will address the animation glitch that users have encountered in which Elisabeths character sprite becomes frozen for the duration of the round when the character Raiden performs a specific move on her.
While software update solutions are being devised, we can offer some tips to those users who are experiencing exceptionally poor online performance. First, we suggest limiting the number of players in a room to two, as the addition of a spectator with a slow connection can currently create latency for all users in the room. Also, if your Internet connection is configured behind a firewall using NAT Type 3, we recommend reconfiguring your setup to utilize NAT Type 1 (for PS3) or an open setting (for Xbox 360).
Also, wed like to take this opportunity to explain one feature of the Xbox 360 version. When playing online with the Xbox 360 version of KOF XII, players who continually battle the same opponent in multiple Ranked Matches in the same lobby will not receive additional True Skill Rank Points. This is an intentional decision to keep players from abusing the system to reap massive rewards by preying on one player. If you want to earn True Skill Rank Points, you must make a new room or leave simply leave the room and come back.

How come they started realizing their features/netcode sucked this much AFTER the game has been released??
Pathetic
Wondering if I should go ahead and unload this while I can. Fun game, but a pathetic job done on the release.
I could give a damn about a character glitch update… This game has been a fuck-up from day one.
i guess kof doesnt have a place on srk were everyone is a capcom fanboy and scared to look outside the box.
KoF12 is basically $60 for VS mode-in-a-box except that doesn’t work because it’s running on the same Netcode we played Quake with twelve years ago.
When your game basically only does one thing and manages to suck at it, people gonna be pissed. The game looks fun, but right now there’s nothing for most of us to do with it thanks to the borked online play.
I’ll get it… when they fix the netcode or drop the price to match the other stripped-down SNK releases on the PS2.
they do need to fix that because in this day and age a fighting game like this needs a good net code to stand a chance. i got the game for the low for the modded 360 get at me if you want it.
Truer words have never been spoken especially seeing as how various SRK members play various SNK games including KOF. And having our own KOF board? Here? On SRK?!
Surely you jest…
ok whatever:lame:
god lord, my ignoring list is growing fast this days :rolleyes:
I think part of it is they test under idealized conditions, their own private XBL and ultra-good internet connections.
The features only suck for casual scrubs.
The only way SNK can really make this up is to add content down the road, for free or very low price.
Banned hammer please.
the world ill needs a pirate such as Madara Itachi
Easy to not criticize the game when you didn’t pay $60 for it.
hahaha.
lol*
Damn Snk, you guys need to get your shit together.
