You’re the reason why there will never be any serious SNK tournament in America.
First and foremost, SNK fans that made tournaments never ever cared how hard the bosses are, the fucking difficulty of the computer or what Kyo will wear in the next tourney. They cared for the gameplay first and aesthetics second.
Rioting Soul is right.
truths.
Oh yeah and SNK fans that actually play SNK fighters usually have to do extensive shit like import, download emus then kaillera, spend multiple paychecks(Neo Geo) and/or look all over for those rare games(in America I imagine). If you gonna do all that then you better/must be obssessed.
lith got partially the reasons, RS got it kinda right too. But you can’t be a fan without playing the games, that’s ridiculous. That’s like saying NBA fanatics only watch them and don’t play at all. We play the games, we just know that not every one of us will be No.1 in our games.
Fanboy… is one term I don’t like too much. It basically to me is the elitist way of thinking, the word presumes that one way of enjoying a videogame is better than another way, and so the other way shouldn’t be, from which I just don’t see any truth. While I myself don’t go out to tell someone that game x is a good game because the bosses are difficult, to think someone who isn’t great in skills in the games doesn’t deserve to be a fan-that’s just stupid? The truth is that only about 50~100(imho) people are gonna be the top players of the world, and the rest of the chain are more or less in the same situations. Fan activities are stupid to you guys, but that’s one of the bigger source of newer fighting games nowadays, via fan programmed fighting game clubs.
As far as the original topic goes, SNK… old snk I don’t care about snkp any more, used to be a great game company who tried to bring out something new to the table. That’s the reason for this fanboy. All the crap they came up in fighting game, near every game they brought out had something fresh about it, in the early 90s that is. Now, it’s kinda like I just want to see how the game series are gonna turn out. It’s the same old same old nowadays with SNK.
LOL @ DarkGeese thinking harder CPU = Better game.
Way to hold down that SNK love man.
I’m willing to bet at least 87% of SRK members first fighting game was SF, so obviously, thats going to be the most comfortible setting for you, and the KOF games will turn you off.
I play anything with comp.
Well I love thr gameplay, but I like a challenge too while I’m at it. I love SNK games, and I believe I can hang with the BEST OF THEM in KOF games. I am with Parry Person, I play anything with comp. Rioting SOul is right to a degree but you are stereotyping. I love the gameplay as well as the story, and yes SNk cans do care about their bosses and story etc, you guys are stereotyping too much.Yes I follow the storyline, know it and all, but I am more concerned with who’s top tier, their strats on winning, new improvements etc. etc. I aint a story freak like you think, so you guys are stereotyping. I ain’t a fanboy, bc fanboy to me =scrub. Someone that knows very little about the game and has little to no skill. SO I am with Fatal Fury D on that one. I like to get pushed even by the CPU, bc so few people around me even play SNK games, which to me is SAD. But this is not to say one group of fighters is better than the others in an “elitist way” because in truth we are all just hardcore gamers right??? I’m sure remukhan is just as diehard about KOF as Justin Wong is about MVC2, no need to be hating on us SNKers.
I think the gameplay for SNK games is in truth what makes it as a whole, bc when SNK didnt have the 3s like graphics that is what they fell back on. We mention storyline because we feel it is more developed than Capcom games. But that DOES NOT mean that is all we care about…you all got us wrong if thats what you think I’ll tell you that right now!!!
DG: If you can can you edit my name please, the reason my sn is fatalfuryd and not fatal(space)fury(space)d is because I don’t want irrelevant threads showing up because of my sn when I do search on ff.
Last post on the thread, I’ve been this place way too long to know that it’ll turn into a flamefest.
KOF is the SAME SHIT every fucking year.
I can’t stand it. But I absolutely LOVE 98 and 2k2. Great games.
As for the bosses being harder-LOL
Man where were you from 1991-1999? That was when Street Fighter was coming out like crazy, and it caused the SF scene to implode from overload. They were doing almost 2 games a year after SF2 came out. Quality fighters? At least Capcom showed a progression in gameplay from SF2 to SFA to SF3. KOF’ll throw in some minor new gimicks each year, but nothing mind blowing. Samurai Shodown is about the only direction Capcom hasn’t gone in 2D, but at least they were smart enough to take advantage of technology(okay…pre PS2/XB era). SNK has some nice gems in their library with MOTW, KOF Dream Match '99 and SS, but SNK is just now doing what Capcom did in the mid 90’s–rehashing the same shit. What’s even worse is that they are just NOW looking at more powerful hardware. Can you honestly tell me that if you looked at a pic of say KOF’95 and put it side by side with KOF 2003 that you’d be able to see a SIGNIFICANT difference?
As for the Shotokan character rehash, SNK’s just as guilty as Capcom…Ryo Sakazaki, Yuri, Takuma, Mr. Karate, Khushnood, Robert Garcia…they all got DP’s and fireballs, and you don’t have to look very far to see where THAT influence came from.
SNK should’ve used the MOTW engine more…that was very nicely done.
Whoever you are, stop making scrub-tacular threads like these.
That’s nobody I know. Maybe some overweight Gaia weirdo. I like their games cuz they feel more kinetic, since they are more rush-based. And they seem to be more graphically violent. That’s always a plus.
fuck kof, i want real bout 2 and MOTW rereleased.
I’m sorry but that’s a ton of ppl I know. And I wasn’t saying that all SNK fans are that way, I’m just saying there are fans like this and if a Capcom fan saw one, that is what they’d think. And scrubs are fans too, don’t forget. And I’m thinking that the majority of SNK fans are scrubs(disclaimer: IN AMERICA). Seriously, if all the ppl in KoF gamefaqs forums actually started a scene then they’d outnumber those 10 ppl trying to get a KoF in EVO.
The majority of US SF fans are scrubs too - probably a lesser proportion of them to the good players than in KOF, but probably more overall.
SNK is good, like SS, KOF and I play them but in all seriousness street fighter is better. But back then the neo geo was a god system but I never knew anybody wit it. Playmore should put out an SNK arcade classics disc.
BINGO. :tup: Hit the nail on the head. Thread Closed.
Capcom are generic sterotypes! HAHAHAHA look at all those SNK fighters with SF clones. In fact almost all of KOFs moves are rip offs of capcoms! SNK steals so much from capcom its not even funny.
uh…all this talk about SF influence in other games, and also regarding SNK’s “shoto” clones…
First of all, the character creator of SF2 left Capcom after the first SF2 and joined SNK and this isn’t bullshit, read it in a very old VG magazine a decade ago hence the similar characters which will always be better than their capcom counterparts for many reasons anyway.
And also when it comes to fighting games…it’s not about who did what first, its about who did it best.
AMEN RYO!!! Big high five!!!
