“I can agree for the most part, but I’d say that K’ fits in pretty well… I’m still wondering how the hell Ash actually got put into the game…”
I guess he’s better then some of the other ones. Some of his animations though, like the walking away from the opponent (I don’t really play K’ so I don’t know the names) just look kind of off. I kind of wondered about Ash too, though his style isn’t as bad as some others (its just that he has the MOST effeminate hair ever. I seriously though he was a woman when I first saw the KOF 2003 opening.) Thats the thing y’know, like watching a KOF XI match and seeing a pre KOF-2000 character with a realistic stance and then a post 2000 character with a really stylised anime stance and just comparing thier moves, its hard not to notice the difference.
“I hope it’s possible for SNKP to improve KoF graphics without compromising their sprite style. When a person says that KoF sprites look ugly, it’s hard to tell if they mean to say that the quality is poor or they just don’t like their style. With that in mind, I’m kinda worried that KoFXII sprites are gonna end up looking more cartoony.”
Yes, this is exactly what I worry about. I really hope they don’t take KOF in that anime direction, though I have my doubts. I’m hoping that it would be thier classic gritty and severe style, but they could just make as easily make it anime esque. I wish that someone from the team would just give us a mock up or something so we have an idea of what to expect.
Now we all know that with the new sprites the game is going feel different. May be a little slower or different timings or what ever. So all of you bitches that only care about graphic better not be complanig later and whinnig saying " this doesnt feel like KOF" or “its totally different I dont like it” because I am writing down your names and if I see anything like that I will puch you in the face when I see you.
Am I the only one here who likes the graphic style in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2? It used a clean anime style and the characters where nice and beefy. Mai especially is well filled out in that game. Something like that would look good in high res.
Also the Garou/Last Blade would work well. Kind of a cross between the KOF and RBFF2 style.
I ended up liking RBS a bit more, personally, but any way, yeah, the overall point is there. I loved the Real Bout type of graphic style, probably even more than MOTW’s.
If SNKP were to at least go back to THAT type of graphic style, possibly with more frames of animation, that’d be just fine, in my opinion. Sprite models that are both large, colorful, contain plenty of animation, while also giving off the “personality” that SNK’s known for, would be great to see…:wgrin:
