This coming from a guy that wants KOF to be more like Street Fighter, a game with several characters that share the exact same moveset.
Next you’re gonna tell me having Joe Higashi and Hwa Jai in the same game is redundant.
You know absolutely nothing about gameplay design, or KOF. Or hell any fighting game really from the garbage you’ve been spouting.
If you think Ryo and Takuma are similar in gameplay, you’ve clearly not played either character.
Ryo is on my team FYI. I don’t know as much as Laban but I’ve played takuma a bit and he’s similar to ryo. I don’t get the controversy in saying that 2 similar characters can come off a bit redundant given there isn’t that much variation and diversity in gameplay.
They play completely differently man. Also, you’re using controversy wrong. There is none because everyone disagrees with you because you’re wrong.
Ryu, Ken, and Akuma have been in the same games for how many decades now?
No… they aren’t.
Let’s use '98 as an example.
Takuma has a full screen fireball.
Takuma can do unblockable fireballs.
Takuma doesn’t have a dragon punch.
Takuma has a dash grab.
Takuma has command normals he can combo off of.
Takuma can hit confirm into his Ranbu off lights.
Takuma’s Hienshippukyaku is a charge and the Heavy version allows juggles afterwards.
Takuma’s Haohshikouken is a normal Special Move instead of a Desperation Move.
Takuma has a really fucking good Jump CD.
Takuma’s Ranbu works well as a reversal and has some invincibility frames.
Takuma has a proxmity unblockable super.
There’s alot more stuff I could bring up, but fundamentally, Takuma is his own character. Ryo is his own character. Just because they “share” moves called Kou’ou Ken, Hienshippukyaku, Zanretsuken, Ryuko Ranbu and wear a karate gi doesn’t make having both redundant when their gameplay design is vastly different from one another. Ryo has things Takuma cannot do. Takuma has things Ryo cannot do.
Looks like it did.

Now, is it just me or Athena and Sylvie looks better on the thumbnails from the official site than in the videos?

I think we’re all seeing a pattern here. @ReoGeoSRK says something problematic, people point out he’s wrong and then drama starts. Honestly, and I’m going to say this as a mod, things would be so much better if ReoGeoSRK would just accept when something he says has been pointed out as wrong, considering that 90% or so of the people here are much more knowledgeable of the subject matter than he is.
You’re right I apologize for derailing, we’ll all just have to simply agree to disagree. Besides the ryo and geese trailer is hype and SNK is building a lot of hype.
The graphics look so much better here
In discussions that aren’t stupid, it looks like SNK is trying to make the game more visually obvious. Now maybe we haven’t seen enough and I’m reaching here, but Geese’s counters have this super big green hitspark to them and Ryo’s parry seems to be causing a lightish blue aura. A while ago there was a daily screenshot that showed what appeared to be Maxima activating his autoguard with far C that was also causing blue hitsparks. Maybe these are specific to these sorts of mechanics so you can visually tell what is going on, similar to how ASW games show when an attack hits high or low or types of throws in BB, air unblockables in P4U, etc. That’s a pretty solid addition if true.
Also, once again, game looks vastly better in direct capture than it does in terrible Youtube compression as I’ve already posted before. SNK is doing a lot of damage to the game’s reputation by not making native resolution uncompressed footage and images the standard. The best we get are things an 8th of the game’s resolution and youtube videos that look like someone converted it to a PSP UMD and then stretched it to 1080.
I don’t get why SNK would upload their videos into such poor video quality. I mean it’s quite a substantial difference when you compare the direct to the YouTube videos. How come no other fighting game has had this problem.
LOL SNK probably rendering their videos on a pirate copy of Premiere Pro on an outdated rig.
I don’t think it’s the compression.

The lightning, Athena’s eyes and specially Sylvie’s hair having the same “effect” Angel and Kula got later. I don’t think the thumbnails reflect the trailers at all.
And why don’t they just put a gallery with “direct capture” screenshots from the trailers on their main website?
Also, they’ve updated with the new trailer link.

That would have been mildly funny if not for King’s cold, dead eyes.
I’m definitely going to watch the movie.
Why did my nigga Joe get shafted even in the portraits? Did SNK forget that he was never revealed? Lol
He better get some legit screentime next trailer >:|
While I don’t particularly enjoy seeing everyone being out for Reo’s head but this nigga says the stupidest shit that I’m not surprised…
Even a mod had to low-key be like “I don’t wanna ban you so STFU homie coz you don’t know what you’re talking about” and he’s still going ham -___-
You know given how good so many characters look in this game I’m still really curious what happened with kyo. Ryo looks great,geese looks great, terry looks good and the rest of the cast look like themselves. Even Andy looks great in the rendered character select screen so wtf happened to him.
