They can animate 6 characters a year. Last game was released a year ago. There are 9 characters to animate. Do the math.

Unless they had lots of bits and pieces done here and there, there will be headswaps like crazy.

Oh god. If Kasumi is in, GOTY.

Does Betty’s new super hit low? Also the sliding uppercut she does at 4:08 looks awesome. I’m hoping it works similar to Vanessa’s followup A/C to her qcb/qcf B/D moves.

well, haven’t DM’s in KOF always had little to no invincibility?
but yeah, so far supers do look like they would be weak standalone.

Checked and couldn’t find it. Any good links showing off Hyperdrive mode and move cancelling?

Isn’t that just like any other KOF? Little or no invul frames except for reversal ones like Iori’s Maiden Masher that are still unsafe outside of combos. Nothing out of the ordinary to me. The fact you say super instead of DM makes me think you aren’t familiar with KOF “supers.” Could be a fault assumption on my part though, so excuse me.

yea the kof series had so many characters. It would be quite hard to please everyone.

I personally want Vanessa, Kasumi, and Eiji to show up.

Glad Beth made it in KOFXII tho.

Why the fuck would anyone ever wanna bring back Hwa Jai. . .dude was in one game. . .and he got cut out of the home version . . .you google his name and you get Joe laughing. . .

Well it’s not like you’re supposed to be using DM’s by themselves anyway…

yea dm invincibility is selective, so there are still some that are, like kings surprise rose super seems to be invincible

Yeah I know. Not like this is supposed to be a game made by Capcom by a producer say, named Ono (this is purely hypothetical) with supers given after you get your ass kicked…for the sake of argument let’s say they’re called “Ultras” or something.

Sounds like a bad idea. Glad in KOF we don’t have to deal with shit like that.

i’ll take anyone of them but i can be patient until the next game as long as it survives this year.

If there bringing back hwa jai they may as well bring back one of the generic FF boxers micheal max anyone. or how

about axel hawk he had a sonic boom one of them can be the snk balrog lol

ew i rather bring back rick stroud than those guys

I would like to see someone try to stuff Terry’s Power Geyser. 9 out of 10 times, they would eat it or block or get out of the way.

If SNK wants to gain new fans they should bring in Rob Python or Heavy D. If a butt-ugly, generic boxer like Balrog is so popular for SF, then these guys would do wonders for KOF.

lol nah, we always call them supers instead of DMs, maybe because we started playing alpha 1 and 2 before we went to 98. We call the other ones level three only supers instead of HSDM, as it takes three stocks to do, or can only be done in max mode , ) Was just noticing though, they looked like they get stuffed a lot more. I’m not talking about you do a super get 100% invincibility because that is weak. ANd i know the importance of being able to combo them. But it is also weak that random or spam jab is stuffing a lot of them. A well timed counter hit should always stuff shit yes. Just hopefully grappler supers do not suffer from the spam or random jab stuff, in 12 that was bull shit. Game is looking dope though

we’ve always call 'em quintos/quintas

don’t ask why

so far mai looks like an interesting character to pic

yuri,king,mai

my all girl team is complete

What do you call the HSDM versions? SOmetimes i call them super supers lol

I was hoping for Marco myself.
