No 3D fighter will ever be as artistically beautiful as a 2D fighter imo. I just really appreciate that SNKP is still releasing sprite based fighthing games in 2011. And in HD even better. And yeah, they REALLY worked their heart out to wrap up this babe as amazing as they could.
Heads up guys-
Post any stuff you noticed is an issue with the Console ver in that thread.
hello,
just wondering, will the console version be playable anywhere in socal before it comes out? thanks!
I’ve asked elsewhere, but which console will realistically have more players? If I really like the game, i’ll buy a copy for each, but for now…any insight?
Based on an email Rising Star games sent to someone on Dream Cancel the 5 new characters that they have on their advertisement bullet point are not including dlc.
So Saiki, Billy and ?, ?, ?
and Iori '98 and potentially more dlc characters?
Seems too good to be true, which it probably is, but it’s hard not to keep getting hype. I’m holding off on pre-ordering the game for both systems till there’s at least confirmation the online isn’t trash though. Every recent fighting game in the last couple years has promised awesome netcode, and not all have delivered.
Fixed it for ya
No, they confirmed that they made a typo when they said it was 5 new characters who’d never been in KoF before. It’s supposed to be 5 new characters who weren’t in KoF XIII arcade. So Billy is one of the 5.
Man oh man, I know the chance is slim but I really want Yamazaki to be playable in KoF13. Since Billy is in, there’s a slight chance.
No need to get so defensive. There is a lot to dislike about say AH3 and gameplay wise it isn’t close to being perfect either.
I for example wouldn’t play a fighting game where I disliked the look and visual design of the entire game, I didn’t like a single character (not talking gameplay), the music, sound etcetera.
I mean if that upcoming My little pony fighting game became widely regarded as the best fighting game on the market, I still wouldn’t play it. It just doesn’t appeal to me.
Everyone can’t like everything. Some people will never enjoy games like say AH and would generally prefer that those kind of games be kept to a minimum, it’s just something you’ll have to accept.
In all honesty, you should accept that games like AH will never become very popular outside of japan. No matter how good you think the gameplay is, the devs kinda dug their own grave when it came to worldwide appeal.
Not to derailed from the thread topic but should feel ashamed that I’ll play any fighter I can get my hands on? I can’t really loath AH developers. Admittedly AH series has its own target audience, I’m not fan of the loli design and fetish appeal,hell I’m even against the Japnese anime cultural currently but I can still appreciate the design of AH series. both theme and fighting game. (Though I don’t like examu ways of advertising, as its leads the impression that they think pervert of its customers with their practice of giving away boobies mouse pad and et)
I’d murder my first born for an Outlaw team 2003 version in this [Gato/Yamazaki/Billy Kane] Oh yeah!
people said the same thing about mvc3…
i play fighting games usually in groups, while chatting on skype on my computer. no spectator mode would be awful for that 
So here’s another rumor: 2 of the additional characters are Botan and a Garou character.

B. Jenet, calling it
Man… I’m drooling all over the keyboard here… Is it October yet? o.O
Hmm Betty w/XI outfit+Mai+Jenet= Team Tittays~
Replace Betty with Mary and it still works.
I’d buy Botan and main her no matter how she played.
Rock Howard please? 
The rumour is that the Garou character is Rock Howard. If so then…goes to a corner and does the GET DOWN dance
Where did the Rock rumor come from?
