I know this is probably the least important subject for KoF XII, but to me music really matters. Not sure if most people can hear it when they’re playing in arcades, but from the videos, I haven’t really heard any good music come out of KoF XII yet. Most of the songs have been really upbeat and kind of… well it’s not really what you think of as King of Fighters music especially when you had so many good tracks in almost all of the other King of Fighter games.
From watching all the Arcade Infinity vids since they’re direct feeds and the best representation of how the game should sound without arcade noise right now, it feels like only songs without actual guitar can be heard clearly as the character SFX and the crowd roars don’t go up loud enough to killing any mode of distinguishing the background. Then there are a couple stages that actually do stop using Accordions and random Jewish sounding music and bring back a little of the Distortion Guitar, but that gets destroyed by how loud the cheering from stage background gets. Since I have no personal experience with the game 1 on 1, are there actually some good music in KoF XII or is this just another game where i turn down the sound and turn on my own music?
