i wouldn’t be surprised if the end of KOF XII had just a minor lead up to XIII (and thus the conclusion of the Ash saga). Hopefully we’ll at least see Elizabeth there…
Looks like Ignition is going to be dropping some exclusive KoFXII content into the U.S. release of KoF98:UM. Check out the very end of this trailer video:
Sweet, but I thought Ignition did the EU versions, not the US. Which would make it even sweeter for me :wgrin:
But maybe they do both.
im fine with my import
same here.
SWeee! The best kof has ever looked! I just hope K Dash is on there

interesting way for Kyo to do his grab on terry
The official site has been updated with new screenshots, small and non-resizable like always… not very interesting, but for what it’s worth there do seem to be a few included that show the opening sequence.

It is strange plucking him right out of the air like that and it comboed. I wonder if everyone else can do that with their special grab moves or is it just something that might be taken out by the time of the game’s official release.
I wouldn’t have been able to tell Ralf and Clark apart, early in this video if Ralf hadn’t done a his explosive punches early on. Also, if that super (0:26) he did was meant to be the Galactica Phantom, they upped the speed but nerfed its range a little.
I haven’t seen Athena much in videos but I find it interesting in the last fight around 6:34 that she now as a sort of mini Shining Crystal Bit move (maybe her new Psycho reflector?) as a regular special move.
Yea, noticed that too on the galactica phantom, I excused for it not being charged fully since I know the Galactica phantom is a chargable move.
with most of the KOF:XII vids I’ve seen with kim being used I’ve yet seen anyone do his DM
i’m pretty sure Kyo has always been able to do that, just no one does it.
Yeah, Kyos always been able to combo like that. The difference now is that he (and everyone else it seems) can include the CD attack as part of a combo. Like the Terry user kept doing jD> sD> CD> qcb+P. And a Kim user kept doing what seemed like cC> CD.
Did anyone notice the guardcrush Kyo caused with his standalone standing CD? It looked like he was charging it up and then bam. In another vid (from the same guy) I’m pretty sure Terry did the same thing (Athena was turtling in the corner and he broke her guard with a CD attacK).
I know Kyo can do combo’s like that, but do that special grab catching someone in mid air is not one of them.
lil more than a week left for the new loketest. yeah baby.
he’s been able to do HCB+D from qcf+D,D in 98 so… 
i really like the way they draw those characters that werent wearing tight pants
i like the difference in character models. each character is their own shape and size. it looks really good, even clark and ralph.
um, no. actually ive been doing that combo since 95 on my neo. so no, its not new by any means. you could even do another qcf+bd or a dp + p or rdp + k after it. and even more combinations.
edit: although im not too thrilled by the art style they chose (like hiroakis and that new guy who also did the XII and ngbc portets better) but the fact that they all have their ownts shape and look is really refreshing. this was somethig that was missing from KOF since the 94 days. since the sprites never got a big overhaul this never really drastically changed. mainly cause it would look out of place when its mixed with the characters older frames of animation. so yeah, the diversity in looks is total bad ass. everybody is his/her own character (cept for sly and mr califlower).
did you read?
i’m saying it’s nothing new
