I think spectator mode is a good addition just so we can see other people play online while we wait to play our turn. MvC3 didnt have spectator mode because its an unfinished game,and was pretty obvious that it is content wise. I dont think watching bouncing cards is a way to wait in a lobby, especially when its a half assed way to wait in a decade long anticipated title. its shouldve been there, and it shouldve been nice. but no.
Vanilla SF4 didn’t have spectator mode either.
And the lobbies were only 2 people.
Spectator mode or not…I’m still getting this game.
just allow me to do some interaction in lobby s like text chat room in kofXII and I’m straight.
If the netcode is good spectator won’t be missed.
So a gaming mag had an article on KOF13 and showed 2 sillhouttes, supposdly of other DLC characters.

For fuck’s sake why can’t anyone make proper scans anymore?!
Those “smokey” and cut in half sillhouettes don’t help either. The one on the right looks female, though.
so where can i preorder this game and get the bonus soundtrack too???
Gamestop or Amazon I believe.
somebody clear this up, what exactly are we getting in the home version, billy and saki? and thats it?
Billy, Saiki, Classic Iori (DLC), the two sillhouettes (DLC) and a sixth character.
Billy
Saki
DLC
Rebalance
Color Edit
Online
Ash’s Campaign.
Is SNKP adding two more teams? Well one could be for Billy and the other for Saiki.
We still have 5 more character reveals right?
Wow, that’s a hella lot of characters. Props to SNKPlaymore for having that many characters in one game, considering they’re sprite-based. Looks like i’ll have to import so i can get the OST disc as well. Amazing!
Yeah, if you consider KOF XII as a part of the development process for XIII (which I most certainly do), they have definitely poured some hard work into this game.
They started work on these graphics sometime in like 2005 or so. Come 2011 and we now have over 30 beautifully made characters. I really respect how hard-working they are. They really put their hearts and souls into this.
This whole game feels like a labor of love made for real fighting game fans and not a cheap cash grab made for the casual market. I could give a shit about spectator mode. A decent netcode mixed with a already amazing fighting system makes this must buy. I want to support SNK because if this game fails then they may be history and thus leaving us with a genre that has only pedo loli games and Capcom’s crappy post 2009 fighting mechanics and 2.5 characters looking like they are on steroids.
someone asked me earlier in this thread why spectator mode was important ^
Judging by a cutscene (so this may be BS, don’t take as gospel)- it will be among these chars maybe
Adel, Mary, Vanessa, Ramon, Heidern.
It will not be the USA Sports Heroes or Eiji/Malin/Kasumi, as they’re confirmed cameos.
Define pedo loli games.
The only games that I’ve seen people call “pedo loli games” have been/are going to be complete masterpieces.
AH3 is a completely solid game, though I guess I can understand if you don’t like the graphics, however, that still doesn’t excuse intentionally missing out on a godlike game.
Skull Girls is pretty much everything that I’ve ever wanted from a fighter, and it is pretty much the exact opposite of “pedo loli game”. The art style is quite unique as it’s influenced by both western and eastern styles. I love it about as much as I love the Darkstalkers art style. I see nothing wrong with it as they are doing everything right with both the art and the game mechanics. I’d actually argue it’s more of a labor of love made for real fighting game fans than KOF XIII.
