I thought it was because of Marvel they couldn’t balance MvC2

The one thing SNK has been getting right in the last couple of years is re-balancing old games.

Does anyone know who is doing the new art? It’s amazing.

Looks like Ogura’s style to me, the same guy that did the KOFXII art.

Frankfurt · March 11, 2010, 7:20pm

Looks like a cheapo, lazy version of Ogura, like they told him to crank those in half the time. I can’t understand why the fuck would they waste time and money re-drawing all those characters twice (select screen and win screen), specially when the originals looked better.

It’s not like those have a lot less colors (like say, making shitty BB-style art) to save space on the download or anything…

It’s like SNK doesn’t know what to do with money. No one would buy the game because of something this small. They either were getting NGBC or not. A few animu illustrations won’t tip anyone over.

I thought it was obvious it was redrawn for a plainer, “cleaner” look to look better in HD.

BoboGlory · March 11, 2010, 9:13pm

The original win screen sucks

Tech_Romancer · March 11, 2010, 10:32pm

The 360 win art looks a lot better than the original; sadly that’s the only advantage I see over my PS2 version and does not warrant a purchase.

I still think the game looks good, and I do plan to purchace it upon arrival. Although, why couldn’t SNK have simply redrawn the sprites into AOF3/LB2 sprite calibur and run those newly drawn sprites through the HD filter process. Attach some slick 3D backrounds/3D effects with a reviseion on the character balance and there we go…1 good looking badass game.

Had casuals at FRXIII with ReturnofShiki and Deadly Rave Neo:

Really hard for me to watch my ugly, ugly matches. I played like crap the whole weekend.

Tech_Romancer · March 20, 2010, 5:32pm

It WAS pretty late at night, granted. I don’t think we did too badly considering.

raymk · March 24, 2010, 9:43am

nope can’t agree with anything that was said here especially the bit about BB art, Art in general is going to appeal to different people in a good or bad way(cause i hate udon art on TVC but some others like it). I think the new art is better than the old though.

Some more questions: Yuki’s red power up seems to cover his physical moves and his physical specials. What exactly does the yellow power up do? I can’t figure it out.

Also, how do I do those special DA cancels? The game says something about getting the cancel when a certain special move is being forced?

Return_of_Shiki · April 2, 2010, 6:38am

Special DAs…check GameFAQs for the requirements.

Yuki’s Yellow Power-Up is for Defense. Both Power-up supers suck. Don’t waste meter on them.

Spring 2010 XBLA, It’s already halfway, any news on this?

DeadlyRave-Neo · April 15, 2010, 4:26am

krazykone123 · April 15, 2010, 9:14am

Found a bunch of NGBC videos yall, since these are short I’ll see if I can upload them on youtube sometime this week

Tech_Romancer · April 16, 2010, 1:23am
