SNK registers "KOF" trademark

Idc if its 3d or 2.5d. As long as its not retro, hipsters kicked that deadhorse into a fine dust.

I’d be fine with the anime/3dbg crossover style. But no more pixels.

I don’t mind sprites, as long as they’re done well. There’s a certain calibur that I expect from sprite based fighters in this day and age, which KOF 13 reached. I don’t think that they really have to convert to 3d models, but if they don’t, it won’t hurt me, so long as the gameplay is sound.

My bed is a four slot Neogeo cab and no Im not. When it comes to SNK shit I don’t mess around I just cant say anything at the moment as I don’t want to get the dude in trouble. He actually showed us some stuff. It is a game. and some stuff. Also that tekken leak I know who did that too, I was there. A lot of good stuff is coming.

Woo showed something? I read on Twitter he actually works for SNKP (surprising that the got to compete then), which makes it a bit puzzling that nothing was officially displayed, I think a lot of us would have been fine with something as simple as a logo or character silhouette, as long as it felt official and gave solid hints of news to come.

Let me just say that he most likely isn’t. More than a few folks within the community actually do know what’s coming up next. We just don’t say anything due to NDAs or simply as a matter of trust.

Honestly saying as much as he has is already pushing it.

Thanks. Is even giving out an approximate timeline as to when we should expect an announcement, allowed?

No need for more boxers. Use Heavy D! instead of Rob Python. Also, Silber and Gai would never be in the same team.

Nah I cant give out details like that sorry, like Dev said it was a matter of trust. Dude was cool enough to share in time SNKP will too, just wanted to give you guys some hope for the future.

Can you say is it 3d or are we getting the 12/13 sprites? Im happy either way.

It’s one thing to hope for a new game. That’s easy. It’s another thing to hope for better collision box and hurtbox placements. 絶望した!SNKPのゲームデザに絶望した!

Y’all tryna get this man fired lmao. There’s something coming so we all should keep on playing & be hopeful for the future without trying to jeopardize people jobs.

You have no idea how much I played KoFXII. I forced myself to like it on the fear that XIII would never come out…

I legitimately don’t think it was that bad of a game, just horribly misrepresented and barebones.

Thinking about it, who would’ve thought that The Question would leave us with more questions than answers?

Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the questions.

I hope we get a game where Terry Bogard isn’t a walking hurtbox if he doesn’t have meter.

No problem, as long as I know this isn’t another Pachinko game I can wait.

I kinda doubted you at first but i watched the dreamcancel podcast post-EVO episode and they mentioned that they were trying to get WOO to talk about KOF 14, and instead of Woo just denying it and saying there weren’t any plans, he just laughed so hard and just said no comment/i can;t mention anything or i’ll get into trouble…

so i believe the person you were reffering to was Woo :slight_smile:

and i can respect that…

But 2014 is KOF’s 20th anniversary, it would be bizarre if they released a game next year.

It’ll be the 21th anniversary.

Silly non-illuminati peasants trying to get that illuminati info. :coffee:

Nah, the aniversary one is confirmed http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof98/ …for smartphone :V :V :V

But about the cast…in XIII

Spoiler

8 from garou (terry, andy, joe, billy, kim, hwan jai, raiden, mai)
6 from aof (mr karate, ryo, robert, takuma, king, yuri)
2 from ikari warriors (ralf, clark)
2 from psycho soldiers (athena, kensou)
8 from orochi saga (kyo, benimaru, goro, flame iori, mature, vice, leona, chin)
4 from nest saga (k’, maxima, kula, nest kyo)
0 from maximum impact saga
7 from ash saga (ash, saiki, elizabeth, duo lon, shen, claw iori)
Right now, garou, orochi saga and ash saga have almost the same numbers in the cast. But it’s eminent that probably only elizabeth, duo lon and shen have a chance to stay from ash saga.

Even if we organize it as teams, it don’t change too much
2 exclusively garou teams (main + kim)
1 exclusively aof
1 womans team (with garou and aof chars)
1 ikari warriors
1 psycho soldiers
1 nest saga
1 ash saga
2 orochi saga teams (kyo + iori).
And then, the single entries…1 from garou, 1 from aof, 1 from orochi saga, 1 from nest and 2 from ash saga.

In a possible new kof game, i can imagine 2 directions
-a history continuity, with the introduction of new characters to take the place of ash saga chars .
-or go for a dream match, what means the return of characters from older sagas.

But in any situation, it’s unlikely for garou or orochi saga to not have a heavy presence in the cast
