King of Fighters 13 incoming!

Frankfurt:

People are now complaining for the sake of complaining. Whining about minor characters like Vanessa, Oswald, Yamazaki (who were in a handful of KOFs)? Complaining about intros?

Just say you’re not going to buy the game or that you’re going to pirate it and be done with it, because none of those are valid reasons to whine for page after page.

That didn’t stop me from getting KOF12 on launch date and enjoying it. I just wish they added stuff I enjoy from the series. Nothing more, nothing less. Besides the more “lovable” characters you have in the game, the more audience you can get them into. Yamazaki and Raiden work great because they were in CvsSNK2, some Capcom guys might have used them in the game and enjoy them greatly, having them in KOF13 wouldn’t be a bad idea, well Raiden is in I’m mostly talking about Yamazaki here. lol

So yeah I’m on the side of day one buy regardless but intros would be SICK! That said, I just want to rebut SAB-CA’s mindset that…

Adding intros = TAKING AWAY MOVES AND CHARACTERS!

I find this to be ridiculous! It’s called EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR THE GAME! I don’t want that to happen for KoFXIII and am 100% at a peace with the no intro thing but for KoFXIV they better bring the heat! KoFXIII will be played competitively A LOT (It will be at Evo 2K11… I’M CALLING IT!) so they can spend all the time in the world for XIV. A year wait was necessary for patching up people’s rage over XII but after this I’d be SO down to wait like 3+ years for a fuckin’ CRAZY KoF game with like 44 characters and everything you would ever want from them (Ryo’s Tenchi Haoh Ken or his DP+K would be BALLER, Terry’s power dunk, Kyo’s rekka chains, etc, etc) including INTROS!!

Leebee_Link · 2010-04-17T05:00:17.000Z

i’m definitely more optimistic about the game after the last interview saying that they want the characters to be as “unique as possible;” adding new moves (and designing characters like hwa jai well/different) seems to be on the menu

your rhetoric is just

so annoying

The odds are not in her favor.

Even though characters like Vanessa, Yamazaki and Heidern would’ve really been better picks that Mature, Chin and such.

Mature (a proper Mature, and KOF XIII seems to have a proper Mature) is better than any of those.

I disagree.

MadeManG74 · 2010-04-17T06:46:32.000Z

Yeah the new Mature looks so much better than XII’s. I wish she had that spinning through the air DP+P move from 98 and 2k2 though.

Hahaha it isn’t that bad in person but then again I live in California which is a far cry from Illinois. I do admit that typed out it is a little over the top lol. But yeah, don’t move to Cali you’d hate this shit haha, I’m a big fan however!

Seriously, though, HELL YEAH to what you actually said. That makes me believe Hwa Jai will be pretty sick!

Not having those chars in is a legitimate complaint, though SNK is limited in resources. They can always add 6 chars and put out a game every year, that’s what I’d want to be honest.

SNK may not have the reserve funds to do that. They’re at the end of their rope- if this fails, the only play we see Kyo and Iori again is in shooting games, pachinko, and dating sims.

NIKO_ONE · 2010-04-17T09:10:52.000Z

Dating Sims own

In a perfect world where everyone would happily switch to the current game for competitive play that would be SICK but unfortunately I think this would just make some people not want to be investing into something that will be 60 dollars a year just for them to compete in. I think for building a big and legitimate King of Fighters scene we need to have one game we can all agree on. We all know how sweet it’d be for a King of Fighters game to FINALLY be recognized as a legitimate event at most tourneys and EVO, which I believe KoFXIII can do!

P.S. KING OF FIGHTERS XIII WILL BE THE HYPEST GAME EVER!!! (Just thought I’d throw that out there)

JackTenrac · 2010-04-17T14:38:37.000Z

SNK looks like they’re now just producing KOF just to survive before a company ends up buying them out. KoF is a great investment, though. Astral makes a good point. Doesn’t it take like months to produce characters now?

It looks like Duo Lon got a new move. I’m also liking Yuri more, with each play through.

Duo’s new move, seen it before, seen alot here though. Teleporting after last hit of Rekka as well.
Also Duo’s time out loss pose.
Think that’s a new kick for Shen too.
Also a return of an old D for Terry.
Beni has an Air Throw?!?!
BENIMARU CORRIDOR! (Always loved that move, and yes I know it’s suppose to be “Collider”… never sounds like it!)
Think this is also the first time we get to see EX Power Geyser from Terry. 2 simultaneous geysers eh?

Must note that I like the fact that getting hit by fire/energy sends energy waves along the body, rather than just a flat color change like in old KoF/SF games. It’s got a bit more personality to it.

Didn’t expect another vid so soon, good lookin’ out!
