This is the KOF where they will re-use sprites for 10-15 years from now on.

6202

Shermie Fan Sprite


Krauser Fan Sprite

Jin /Devil Tekken Fan Sprite

Shen Fan Sprite

:wgrin:

6203

Dammit I want my Shermie in XIII!

6204

I vote for “Because I Got High” to play while Hwa’s in that stance. Kinda like Bang’s Install theme. Or that Jose Cuervo song. Either’s good.

6205

Fucking awesome lol

6206

i want shermie in XIV!! :smiley:

and Krauser looks like Raoh from Hokuto, impresive

6207

The future of KOF?

After The King Of Fighters XIII, SNK will probably will most likely follow the traditions and do a dream match edition since it’s the end of the Ash Saga. But what about after that? SNK made the mistake of using the same sprites for 15 years before and I’m worried SNK might make the same mistake again.

Opinions?

6208

How about I dunno… we keep things to KOF XIII?

6209

that isn’t a mistake. these new sprites can hold up well for the next 15 years. Notice how successful and awesome the past KOFs were despite recycled sprites. But yes, after about 15 years, it is a good time to get a sprite makeover. Good timing too.

And only by recycling sprites will all the classic KOF characters will be playable sooner while matching current sprite style and quality.

6210

Okay I fail. I suppose there’s more stance changes that kinda slipped my radar.

Freakin Ash’s should have been obvious to me. And Roberts (especially in KOF XI/NGBC) too.

This should be Ash’s theme: [media=youtube]ICCIjGFgHkk&hd=1[/media] (it’s so magical). But seriously I hope they bring back a lot of the old school/arranged tracks and/or allow us to use custom music from our consoles.

That Krauser sprite is the SEXIEST THING EVER!!! OMFG so good, props to whomever made that.

BTW FUCK TEKKEN Vs. SF, FUCKING DO TEKKEN Vs. KOF!!! :woot: That’d make more sense anyways IMO. Picture Williams sisters vs. Vice/Mature. Kazuya vs. Iori. Takuma vs. Heihachi. Baek vs. Kim. Asuka vs. Yuri. FUCKING LEI Vs. CHIN (OMFG!!!).

SOMEONE MAKE THIS GAME NOW!!! :lol:

6211

They can use the sprites for eternity for all I care. Is the game fun? Does it hold up competitively? If they made new/better sprites for every other game, we’d be seeing new fighting games a lot less often.

Is there anything notable said in the players guide pt 3? I noticed it’s just the previous matches with commentary. Speaking of, Kensou looks pretty good and Athena’s runaway is amazing.

6212

wow man tha krauser looks pretty dope. the arm muscles could have been done better, as well as some other minor details. but so far its the best fan made sprite ive seen so far.

also kof 14 should be story, not a dream match. there aint enough charatcres for a dream match, and we had dream matches too often. 12 was one, thats just 1 game ago.

6213

Look at how much technology has advanced over the years. 14 Years ago, Super Mario 64 was consider to be amazing. Do you honestly think that these graphics will as impressive in 15 years? I doubt it. The gameplay will still be amazing, sure, and I don’t really care about graphics, but bad graphics would genuinely affect the sales.

I’m just going to take Hatred Edge’s advice and drop this…:sweat:

6214

Am I the only one who thinks that that Shermie fan sprite could stand to be a bit “bigger” if you get what I’m saying.

6215

I don’t know what to expect for a XIV. That could be the time to bring back Momoko, Oswald, etc… but that’d betray the “Climax of Ash Saga” ideal. Preferably, I’d like to see them wait a few years after XIII, and make totally new stages, and a sizeable amount of returning/new characters.

I don’t think I expect these sprites to last 15 years… just because I don’t think ANYTHING of this kinda style will last that long. I could imagine them stretching the look 8 or 10 years, anywho, and even that seems challenging.

After helping to make THIS kof successful, I look forward to KoFs future, anywho. They’re the only people doing graphics like this, and they seem set to finally fuse the best points of old and new together, and I wish to see that continue.

Krauser is pretty great. It might be the best of the fan-made sprites yet… there’s so little to nitpick! It just looks like a class act. IF it’s because it’s based off of the HNK/FOTNS Raoh sprite… then thanks be to Raoh, because it works perfectly.

I don’t know if Tekken VS KoF makes… any amount of sense to me, lol, but it would be a sight to see. So would Tekken characters get supernatural projectiles and such, or would KoF characters get “Realistic” interpetations of their moves, like what happened with most characters in Samurai Shodown Sen? I’d vote for Tekken getting more 2D like. It’d be interesting to see if they could keep their personality.

I can agree on the sprite thing. If they add win poses, some costume changes, and story-related stance and move changes, then I would have no problem seeing them stick with this look for quite some time. As mentioned earlier, I don’t know how financially viable that is… but I know I’d enjoy it!

I wish someone would translate any worthwhile info from those vids. Or subtitle a few sections. Seems like there has to be SOMETHING of note amongst all of that info, but yet, nothing. Anyone know any anime fansubbers?

Like where? Breast? Legs? Or do you just want her to be weighter in general? I kinda like the emphasis on her legs in the sprite, though I think her official measurements suggest otherwise… -shrug- Most of the custom sprites lack “emphasis” unlike the best of the official ones, so I’m glad to see a custom one that seems to have some exaggeration.

6216

kof looks awesome but like shit at the same time. compared to whats possible with 2d its shit. compared to any other 2d fighter its the best looking fighter ever. 2d has never evovlved much, it aint polygons that double or more in half a year time or less. a full hd (1080i?p?) 2d fighter (preffereably SS) with akira/gits animation is what id call a true evolution in 2d fighting. look wise that is.

last but not least, snk always had kof with fucked up graphics, most other series got an overhaul every few games (aof, ff, ss). capcom pretty much did way worse than snk, looking at 94 sprites used in 04. snk did this with ngbc too btw.

6217

Why would that betray climax of Ash Saga? Momoko could definitely show up in a dream match, and
in future sagas too.

As for Oswald, I think Shen Woo killed him. But I guess they can revive him.

But a few years for KOFXIV? that’s too long. sigh…I miss the yearly KOF release schedule…
maybe that will be possible if they keep the sprites they have now and slowly work towards adding more and more towards each KOF every year! Ya that could work. :smile:

6218

shen probably beat his ass, theres no mention of killing anybody.

6219

I don’t. I don’t want a bunch of poorly tested games not really going anywhere. Or we get crap like 01.

6220

Well in my lil perfect world, the Tekken vs. KOF game would be a lil like MI:RA. Because MI:RA so far, is the perfect blend of 2d & 3d combined. MI:RA/Tekken vs KOF could benefit from using Tekken’s Side Step/Walking mechanics, because the KOF one in MI:RA is a tad stiff IMO.

A lot of characters don’t have projectiles in KOF. So I don’t think Tekken characters would be at a disadvantage at all.

And because of the personality of both games, in terms of from characters, this is why I think Tekken vs. KOF would be a lot more suitable. Especially compared to Tekken vs. SF.
