I love how they just gave them the game and said “have fun!”, it was great watching them just sit there and experiment with each character. Made the matches at the end all the better since they had practiced and learned a bunch of stuff by that point.
It’s so good to see SNK go the extra mile and give new attack animations to the EX special moves.
The combos look quick and flashy, they pulled more good stuff in this video then we have probably seen from the rest of the videos combined at this point. Though unfortunately it seems they didn’t know about the Advanced Cancel mechanic.
Mui Mui, Love Heart and Nak are all from the alternate world team. Thus implying that she is from an alternate world, so I doubt her Dragon spirit will have any impact on Kensou’s. The most you should expect is a win quote poking at the matter
It seemed like some of the team themes borrowed from other games, the intro the Women’s team theme sounded very similar to the one in 2001. The Art of Fighting theme reminded me of the one in XI as well.
Unfortunately, I don’t think we got to hear the Ikari/South Town team theme.
I didn’t notice til this stream that announcers are player dependent. Player 1 winning gets the male to announce the win, if the player got a perfect, and the next round’s number, Player 2 is handled by the female. Just a neat little detail.
I think you can expect at least 18 stages. One for every team, the super arena and the destroyed super arena. I’m really curious about what the alternate world team’s stage will be like. I’m hoping it Love Heart’s ship or something. I’ve got no clue what Yagami team’s stage would be. China team could get a Hong Kong streets stage like Real Bout special, with cameos from Cheng, Hon Fu, Xiangfei, and perhaps Yamazaki. Villain team could get the South Town prison during a riot. AoF team gets a Kyokugenryu karate dojo with cameos from Butt and Takuma(btw if you have never noticed, in AoF2, in the background of Takuma’s stage, you can see a large dark skin man. I assume the man is Butt). Women Fighters team could get the Pao Pao Cafe. Kim team gets the aquarium. The Akari warriors should get a stage that calls back to their '94 stage. Perhaps a jungle surrounded by Millitary Vehicles and mercenaries, of course with Cameos from Whip and Hiedern. The Psycho solders team could do anything from Chin’s temple, a concert hall, or even a shopping mall.
In case you haven’t figured by now, I too am really into stages(especially if they are to be connected to particular characters)
Edit: a cool idea for the Yagami team stage could be a graveyard, but not just any graveyard. The fights will take place at Mature and Vice’s grave! Spooooooky
Yeah I hope there are some really cool stages, especially with the Another World Team.
It could be on Love Hearts ship that can float to different places. Maybe per round, like on the first round it floats through Japan (Nakoruru), second round floats through China (MuiMui), their round floats through some treasure island (Love Heart), and so on.
There is quite a stir about that. Especially on Europe part. Atlus was never good with Europe, or maybe Rising Star Games will take it again. I would like Pqube to work on that, they’re doing a good job with GGXrd Revelator.
