King of Fighter 12 is really that good!

I don’t want to continue this age old Mai argument, but it’s a bit more than “tits”.

Mai’s been in every KOF game. If you took any FG series and suddenly took out a character who’s been in every game in the series, you’ll get complaints. Guaranteed.

It’s been proven time and again in different fanbases, not just SNK’s.

Chun Li, Kazuya, Sophitia, Scorpion…people never like losing classic characters.

I don’t see why people are so surprised by this outcry. Tired of it? Yeah, I can see that. But, surprised? No.

dont know, and i dont want to be the one to find out :rofl:

I don’t remember this much bitching when Joe didn’t appear in KOFXI or from King/Yuri not appearing in KOFXII. Mai fans are just a different obsessive breed.

Fixed!:lovin:

I was wrong about that, I thought it was only in CC mode cause that’s where I first saw it. so you’re right, that is pretty dumb.

-Graphic whores who keep bitching about the sprites.
-People who mindlessly follow the not so* in depth* reviews.
-If you think 5 stages and 20 characters is not worth your money.
-If you feel this game should have all the modes SFIV has.

  • You basically said it already, people who say " no Mai = no buy"

and thought it was all about buster wolves with bomber jackets

dude the game is a good fighter, but sure as hell aint worth the money. theres no way you can justify 60 bucks for this. no matter how " fun " it is. you realize the only way its fun is if you have guests over who know the game. no online, no AI, no stry and boss, no other modes kill this for the 1p experience. hence why i wouldnnt consider buying this for more than 20 to 30 bucks. and no fighter is worth over 40 IMO. not even sf4 or tekken. when i bought the shit for my neo back in the days it was (worth way more), but nowadays it really aint. compare this to games like gow3, FFXIII and gt5 who all have the same price tag, you get a lot more game than what you get in a fighter. the neo ggeo days are over, so are the days of paying retarded ass pirces for fighters (remember sf2ww back in the day? 250 dutch florein, thats like almost 150 dollars for that cart).

Worth and cost are 2 different things, my friend ^^

Except for Samurai Shodown 1 and 2.

Bullshit. No other characters you mentioned are even up for comparison in this situation. Mai is for wanks, and they should learn to be proud of it by now after all of these shameless years. End of gawdamn story.

That says it all.

I like the game and I got my money’s worth, but I wouldn’t expect other people (especially newcomers) to pay $60 for it when there’s other stuff in SFIV and BB that makes up for things even if you hate the fighting aspect and just wanna unlock shit, see storylines, or dick around in a decent online mode. I don’t think that shit is important, but apparently the rest of the consumer world does. KoF kept it real, and they got bit in the ass for it. Now all of that stuff is a damn requirement, or else many will disapprove.

By the way, not many people that play KoF even care if it’s a good fighter.

Those were more popular in the US then Japan. I was referring to Japan which was the only market that mattered back then.

FF was much more popular in Japan, and Samsho in the US, mainly because the storyline for FF was interesting to Japanese, and the US fans loved Samsho’s style.

Honestly, I wanted Mai myself, I had one of the best American Mais in 98 (sorry if that comes off as tooting my own horn)- but it didn’t make me shit my pants she wasn’t in, and XII is still a good game, though flawed in some aspects. That and I’m more upset about Billy not making it, not that I expected him ever again.

Mai is too popular to be gone for long. She’ll most likely be in XIII or DLC, just have some patience.

Teenagers with raging hormones don’t have patience especially when it comes to their favorite wank material.

I love KoF12! I just wish the lag would hurry up and get fixed and that I didn’t miss the local tourney today :frowning:
