KOF XII comes out on July 28th

Went through the same shit with Blazblue. Ashley calls your ass when the game is in Gamestop’s warehouses and is ready to ship. STILL might take a day before it hits stores. She should just say “It’ll come around 11 the day after tomorrow.”

Why are you guys so hard on Ashley…she is my phone girlfriend…Take it easy on her ok.

KOF is going to be off the hook. I wish they would have added some trials and what not. I guess online play is really going to have to carry the load for this game. I do hope they continue the story though. I would like to know what happens with Ash …hopefully he dies and Iori gets his powers back.

Snk was probably like oh shit mvc2 is the 29th let’s ship this now.

bbing, im not caught up with the story of kof but can you elaborate more on Iori losing his powers? thx

At my local EB the main clerk I deal with is named Ashley, for the longest time I couldn’t figure out if it’s just a popular joke or they all really knew this “Ashley”. I kid, but seriously her name is Ashley and she told me the 27th.

Robo Ashely >> Gamestop ashley

robo ashley has better start-up and doesnt whiff on information,

I didnt reserve the game…am I screwed?

I doubt it maybe for Friday. But if you are in a big enough town I bet you could find it.

From what I remember, Ash has been trying to steal the powers of the descendants of the clans who sealed Orochi (Kyo, Iori, and Chizuru). So far, he’s taken both Chizuru’s and Iori’s powers, with Kyo being the only one left. Chizuru lost her powers at the end of 2003, and Ash took Iori’s powers at the end of XI, after Iori went crazy and attacked Kyo and Shingo.

from what i heard SNK said there is no story in this game that its just a fighting game

Yes, it’s like KoF '98 and '02. However, most of the characters in XII seem to be important to the upcoming storyline, and it does seem to follow the events of XI, with Iori not having his powers anymore. KoF XIII is probably going to be the game that actually continues the storyline.

If that is the case…then what is the time frame we are looking at for a new game… 2 yrs maybe. You know they are just going to re-use the sprites and maybe add a few more characters.

I was really looking forward to seeing what happen with Iori/Ash/Kyo storyline. Oh well.

But yeah Projectjustice , arcelonious nailed the story line pretty much. I mean XI didnt have a huge story too it but what story it did have I was wanting to get some answers from where they left off.

Awesome, lol.

rofl! The wait to play 12 is killin’ me.

man this is gonna be sick

I love ashley, she gets me excited everytime!

We’ll see. It just seems weird to me that the game will come out on a friday as opposed to the usual mon-wed schedule most games follow. I got the call from Robo Ashley myself and still wonder if it wasn’t just a large mistake on Gamestop’s part. Either way I won’t be able to pick it up until tuesday anyway.

Any word on the netcode? If it’s anything like what I’ve been hearing about 98um and motw that would suck.

Ashley from battle fantasia just called me! It’s so hot! It said KOF 12 will be swooping in today Marco! If you dont have KOF 12 you better get URS before i get mine dear Watson.

Got a question: is Gamestop only shipping pre-orders on their initial shipments, or will they have walk-in copies available?
