Anyone else think that a lot of the stock colors are straight up ugly? I fear that I’ll be spending too much time customizing colors and not learning characters.
I love a lot of the stock colors, actually… but I will definitely be making a ton of custom colors. I’ll probably post a few of them up as well.
Picked up EX Iori
Press select (PS3) to select him
This character is awesome but I need to focus on my class work right now FFFFFF
Rekka Kyo HOLY FUCK.
How can anyone go back to the regular Kyo after this?
Now I hyped for Mr. Karate. He’ll probably make regular Takuma look like child’s play.
Iori 98 is the truth. Can’t wait for finals to be over so I can get some more lab time.
If you haven’t played old KOF’s and you bought the Classic Iori, your in for a treat. Character move set is godlike.
Do custom colors unlocked for the regular versions of characters carry over for their EX versions? As in, if I unlocked all colors for Iori, will they be there for EX Iori, or will I have to unlock the colors for EX Iori all over again?
This is important!
I hope they consider doing other ‘EX’ characters. It’d be pretty freakin’ sweet if they could do Terry with his Garou outfit and a slightly different moveset.
Give em his Power Dunk, Power Charge, that slide kick combo and that wierd bubble DM he had in KOFXI.
EX Kyo looks fucking sick, can’t wait. (he was my old main lol)
You mean his Leader Super from KOFXI?
And man, I didn’t even realize Terry didn’t have Power Dunk - though I haven’t even played him yet. That’s reason enough to make an EX version.
Almost every character has an EX version from the old times: Robert, Ryo, Athena, Andy, Joe, Terry, Billy, Benimaru, The ikari Team, etc, etc. thats the reason why KOF 98 is so fun with different playstyles for a lot of characters, the only issue here is the presentation as DLC, that could be really expensive and a lot of fans are asking for their fav characters, if the games sells well maybe they can release an improved version with this.
KoF XIII UM?
I’m KoF noob but UMs come at the end of a story arc right?
I think yes.
KOF 98 Dream match came after the end of the Orochi Saga (KOF 94, 95, 96, 97)
KOF 2002 and UM came after the end of the NEST Saga (KOF 99, 2000 and 2001)
KOF XIII is the end of the Ash saga (2003, XI and XIII), maybe we can see another UM version after this, seems like a tradition.
UM’s are remakes of old games ('98 Ultimate Match, 2002 Unlimited Match) with added things like music, stages, characters, system/balance changes, etc. The console version of XIII is almost different enough from the arcade version to be a UM, really. It would be cool if maybe a year or two down the line, they decided to do it again, though maybe they would rather make XIV.
I really do hope we see a Dream Match, encompassing all the characters from KOF2003, XI and XIII - done in this artstyle, of course.
That would add Chizuru, Momoko, Malin, Oswald, Blue Mary, Yamazaki, Gato, Vanessa, Ramon, B.Jenet, Duck King, Shingo, Whip, Eiji, Kasumi, Hinako, Tizoc, Chang, Jhun, and possibly even console exclusives like Geese, Mr. Big, Hotaru, and Tung. Then there’s the bosses like Adel, Kusanagi, Kagura, Gai, Sho, Shion, Magaki, Mukai, etc etc etc… And of COURSE Rugal would have to be the final boss of the Dream Match.
Man, I want to see ALL of those characters done in this artstyle. Every single one of them. It would be fap worthy.
Also, I remember hearing about SNK wanting to make Rose into a playable character. For a Dream Match, that would mean we could have a team of Adel, Rose, and Rugal. It’s like one of those wholesome old fashioned family competitions, except this one ends with lots of people dead.
Doubling the roster size in this artstyle? There’s no way SNKP could pull that off.
Depends, there were place holders for Adelheid, Heidern, and Shion. I think Shion might form an antagonist team with Botan and perhaps Saiki or Shroom for Those from the Past Team. I think SNKP inevitably wants to put in all the story relevant characters in then followed by the Ash Saga characters such as Gato, B. Jenet, and Momoko. It’ll just take them a year or 3.
Yeah, I mean, I don’t expect it to happen this year or anything. I ain’t that demanding. If it takes them 5 years to do it, I’ll be fine.
This. Lord knows how many years worth of spritework is compiled into the 02UM roster. What’s wild about it is despite the game’s huge roster, there’s still a whole bunch of characters they could’ve added but didn’t, like Eiji, Saisyu, Krauser, Mr. Big, and the US Sports Team. This not including the various costume/animation changes, Strikers or the characters that came after 02 but drawn in the same style, like Ash, Shen, Gato, Jenet, Duck King, and the NGBC characters. SNK put in alot of work on dat Neogeo.
In a few years we could very well see a 50 man roster done in KOFXII style.
come to cfas tomorrow so we can play !
