Seth Killian Leaving Capcom

Probably not. He traveled around so much that he probably didn’t get time to practice the games he was to present, save for what he was, you know, supposed to present. I remember him playing some MvC3 for some exhibition for the game and he didn’t look too hot.

Though who knows. I’m sure he’s retained his fundamentals and the like somehow. Can’t say for sure, obviously.

If this is the first sign of a sinking ship, where am I going to get my non anime non niche fighting games.

Seth finally realized that working for capcom is more worse than being In a chirstmas movie with tim allen. Don’t worry your safe now seth.

Dammnit, now we’ll never get a Swagneto alt!

Damn this sucks. Atleast I got to meet him in Feb. Does this mean he wont be commentating at Evo?

Japanese air dash games made with loli and skrawny feminine dudes will never pick up a large base in America, reason Sf and Mk do well here,

On gamespot before king of fighters 13 came out there was a thread about what needed to make kof13 sell…I posted there first mistake was to put a hermie on the cover of a fighting game xbox cover…thread closed,…im not homophopic but 80% more of America is,if you play a game with fag chars, to most in America that makes you a fag…most dont know poisons a hermie ,so they dont care, games filled with bitchs they would fuck and dudes who look like they train and decent troll chars,
mk The same thing gansta ass world filled wth killers and sluts …no 13 year old boy with glasses with no muscle tone with persona to conjure and 12 year old girl with big eyes,being a airdash alone then add the hermie manwomen women boy japan shit does… It wont ever fly here,

now back to the real thread seth killian, not why games filled with homo shit wont fly in the states because japan is into gay shit

Hopefully snce kof13 is a great game kof 14 will fill that Sfish Fatalfuryish gameplay us arcade rats from the 90z are used to

Kof13 i thought did great except the net code, but i played kof12 and liked it…like said before there are enough games made to last us till next gen for 2d and ass loads of 3d also, but yes the death of sf is a death to 2d fighting games to the majority
Japs need to watch this video over and over next time they want sells in America

When did I bail on KoF??

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/7497/lamestcharacter.jpg

It’s really just a lame design all around, and I put up with all of the other KoFers…even Jonathan Tailor Thomas - I mean Kensou with his retarded jean shorts.

Also a little FYI: did you know Angel is pronounced An-hell because she’s a dirty sexy latina whore? Even that can’t save more ridiculous and made to annoy you main characters.

One thing that did come up in the thread that is a good point: there was no real input coming from Capcom USA. It’s funny how they acknowledge how different it was in the 80’s, but it’s right that a lot of that shit doesn’t fly over here. Developer freedom has come a long way since Atari’s credit-less games over here, and there’s different ethics (which turn out for the better in the Fighting genre’s case).

How is Skullgirls doing commercially, btw?

While that is a particularly shit drawing, I really like Ash, and I think with a series that has as many characters as KoF does, everyone’s going to have a few they dislike.

Alright fair enough, but as someone who used to play Yuri - why is she more lollied out than ever 18 years after the first KoF (which, chronologically, is almost 20 years after she was originally kidnapped by Mr Big, but who cares about AoF anyway)?
Oh yeah my favorite KoF mainstays are cool and Leona actually looks cool, but there’s a certain point where I just say enough. For example, MvC2’s music, SF4’s Rufus (why I didn’t buy it originally), and KoF 13’s seriously over the top patheticness with Yuri, Mai, and even King (for God’s sake). I can look past some shit if it’s balanced out by other stuff - SSF4’s returning characters and Juri made up for the lame new challengers, for example. KoF 13 though? I’m either looking at little girls or obese people in the background…is this supposed to be Japan X America? Fuck that noise.

why nobody wanna play this game wit me i dont get it,got big eyed kids in magic costumes with luv puppets ,WTF Americans… puppets are Fly

dude there are less complicated ways of coming out to your parents.

i think we quieted the dudes derailing the thread about there <why America considers 2d dead if capcom stops making them.

Now back to the celebration that is seth killians freedom from being capcom japans shit shield in the states.\

the market is saturated and time to step away as a business plan …doa5, tekken tag 2 for 3d and p4 for airdash anime game that after a month 2 guys keep playing, but rages n japan

netherrealms Dc game for the dial a combo crowd mk crews …Its pretty stacked

I’ll play what Netherrealm puts out because, even though my interest in MK wanes a lot and it isn’t much fun to play without friends, I really respect the development crew and the way they create games and really put all sorts of ideas into them.

It was easier than anything to get people to play Guilty Gear though. That’s the perfect balance between being totally cracked out and playable. Of course that may have been because it had the best challenge mode ever made, which is great for getting people to play the game right.

I may prefer old school Street Fighter, but I don’t need it like it’s blood or something.

Damn, the Ryu ending pic in the link…just damn.

Normally I don’t care for these type of things, but Seth is someone who had a true love for the games he had a part in. I wish him the best.

“We await your return warrior”

It’s funny how Capcom fails, and everyone sees it like it’s the end of the world when there’s plenty of other fighting games to play that are actually good.

It’s like you’ll motha’ fuckers would starve to death once you find out McDonalds goes out of business, and start bitching in the fast food forums “WHERE CAN WE EAT?! THERE’S NO WHERE TO GO, NOW!!!”

Yeah SF4 brought fighting games into the light again, but our community is already established. Not only that, but it’s hard to say where coming into a “dark age” (Ouroborus should change his name to ‘Drama Queen’, holy shit) when tournaments have been getting more and more people and streams of popular players are actually getting hits now.

I dunno, fuck it.

No we want a Street Fighter style fighter like in the days before the VS series. Out of all of those options, there’s nothing that meets the criteria, maybe not even KoF 13 (although I need to spend more time playing it to be sure). That’s not saying Skullgirls and GG aren’t great. SG actually made me appreciate Marvel style features when the inherent retardation of Marvel was removed. It’s a game style worth learning, but it doesn’t replace Street Fighter. I don’t care about seeing any of these cross over the way I did SNK, because none of them would fit with out having to change the way the SF characters played.
Still waiting for Garou 2 - the game that had the potential to be at the top of fighting games along with 3S.

If all fighting games vanished today somehow, I bet people would still get together for coin flip tourneys and rock paper scissors.

We have people within the FGC capable of developing fighting games from the ground up, we’ll be fine.
