So I’m a bit confused, why is it in a thread that is praising KOF12 we get guys from threads shitting on it coming here. if u don’t like it then don’t play, i hate SF4 a lot so I just decided to stop playing and complaining in the SF4 threads. I personally hate the fact old school Kyo was dropped for the new shoto kyo…but I still think the game is fun and I have a good time with it.
If you live in MD add me on live, and let’s see how the connection works.
You will get a challenge, trust me.
It’s never easy to understand why someone who hates a game doesn’t rest until everyone else hates it as much as they do. Misery loves company I guess?
I’ll add you once I get back from running errands. I need some practice anyway.
connection SHOULD be good as I played a friend of mine the other day who lives in MD and was pretty solid connectionwise.
im sorry i doubled checked to make sure i wasnt gonna post somthing not true they were included in every singel version but mark of wolves, i was about to post kof2006 but they were in there they just didnt get alot of attention
Sorry he was in every single version i just doubled checked, 
he just wasnt in any outside kof games like fatal fury and all those.
i love your avatar! And i live in maryland played a friend online and it was still totally unbearably laggy. Im lookin for more local friends, to try and make this game enjoyable it does have a decent much more refreshing then streefighter iv gameplay system.
Your the one to talk, when someone does saying something negative you are quick to blast them.And i dont hate the game, i just wish they put some more time into it, and stayed true to the kof roots over the many years with content.
i dont shit on kof, but im not gonna sit here and act like its the second coming of christ(stole that form a friend) and bash people who have positive or negative things about i speak about both.
I don’t bash people for having negative complaints. I bash them for having idiotic complaints i.e. no mai, roster is too small, no story. Only legitimate complaint is online even though I’ve been fine with yellow bars and above.
What is all this shit about Mai being irrelevant?
Not having Mai in this game is like not having Chun Li in SF
unacceptable.
Alex you’re an idiot. lol
Kyo isn’t in every KOF?
Mai is in every KOF?
In BIZARRO WORLD, MAYBE!
“You know what they say, ‘You don’t sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.’”
it’s bizarro Jerry
Kyo has his older moveset in this game actually, the ground fireball etc, he had all that before they changed him up a few games into the series.
Because people like ALEX love making things go in circles.
Hey, Alex… is this a second account by you? Just wondering.
those arent bad complaints, they game should cater to everyone not just hardcore fanboys, as a hardcore fighting game fan without good onlin eplay a story atleast would be nice for offline in repalce of that, i dont think the roster is to small i think there about 3 characters that should have been repalced for more used and favorited representations of 15 years of kof. and mai is not a bad complaint either if iori wasnt in it in place of elizabeth would u think thats a stupid complaint?
aww man thats harsh i just didnt remeber seeing them in the game at all the roster on kof2006 was primarly made up of women. And plus kyo and iori were on the backburner of thing. mai was on the cover of maxiuma one, kula stood out and that chiq with the glass and that blonde with the huge breats were kinda the leads in that game. But atleast i doubled checked before i just put out false information.
half of that is true, mai was in every kof so was kyo(not included in fatal fury series though)
lol thanks man like atleast someone understands.
Alex, honestly, I want to see you list Mai’s move list and really tell us what kind of dynamic she offers to the game in any way. What kind of mixups? Her role in the game, is it filled by anyone else? She has a fan projectile, an aerial move, and a forward attack. I dare say half the current KOF cast fills for her as far as playstyle.
It’s probably why King who is a worthier character didn’t make the cut, she’s my favorite too, but with Andy and Robert being what they are in KOF XII, King would have been redundant without a slightly altered moveset, which they apparently didn’t have the money to do currently.
I expect Mai to come into the game in the future, but like Mature and Iori, don’t expect her to be the character you once knew, why? She’s too fucking boring. She’s got the exact same role as a grand number of fighters already in the game. What you’re looking for is Mai’s “looks” not Mai the fighter. Expect her to have a differing moveset, and possibly a new look, if this game even succeeds enough to have a sequel.
We don’t need to have a trial here. :wgrin:
Mai is a popular character, a lot of people find her fun to play. I’m a fan, I think she’s fun to play. Her aerial moves are interesting, and over the years she’s had various uppercut moves and that defensive anti-air move where she lights herself on fire. And with the rebirth of the franchise they can spice up her moveset any way they want.
I just can’t understand the need to hate on a character so relentlessly. You could say the same thing about any character. “Benimaru has a forward attack and an air attack! He’s just sex appeal.”, etc. 
And I’m sure this game will have many sequels. KoF keeps on trucking.
Benimaru’s moveset are not mirrored by anyone in the game currently. He’s a very different character to play. We’re talking for Mai to be in the game, they would have to use a later gen model of her playstyle. Possibly a Kensou/Iori level of transformation. I honestly feel they wanted her in, but if they followed the model of just back to basics, she would have been extremely redundant. She’ll make it into the series again, I’m sure of it, just no point of bringing her as-is.
She could fit it in as a guerrilla styled archetype.
Which is how she was played to her strengths anyways.
I just feel like your criticisms could be applied to any character. You dissect a character and say they have a forward attack, air attack, etc and that they’re redundant. You could make the same exact post but just replace the name Mai with Benimaru, or many other characters.
Even if she has moves similar in some ways to say Andy’s for example, there are enough differences that it’s not redundant. Or at least, not any more so than would be the case with most other characters. And who knows what moveset they’d go with, they might even use an older moveset of hers like they did with Kyo. In general, I agree spicing things up and change is always nice, but I don’t think Mai is in need of this more than any other particular character.
