I’m so glad we will have fighters like KOFXII and BB that isn’t a turtle fest like goddamn SF4!!
I would love to have Vanessa and B. Jenet in KoFXII, but i dont wanna get my hopes up. Its more likely that Mai and King will be in.
I would really love to have Gai Tendo back, but that’ll never happen. We’ll probably never see him again.:sad:
You might want to ask in the Ignition forums. That one guy Mad Max seems to know quite a bit.
I think they’re gone mad if they don’t get a good netcode for this. :looney:
But then again, I can settle for something like SFIV’s or VF5’s, which weren’t too bad.
I have to agree with you there. That really is starting to get on my nerves. I’ve been starting to play higher skilled players and it always turns into crouching standoffs and bait/watch/punish every 5 seconds. Not fun. (Why I started using Fuerte). I like SFIV, but damn that’s so annoying. Needs more SFII.
The only thing that worries me at this point is that it might not be popular enough. I’m definitely making it my mission to promote the hell outta KOFXII. (and BB)
Wow…they read my mind. That’s originally what KOF was about for me, too. A giant SNK Fighters Megamix…very cool that that’s the approach they’re taking.
Need some more AOF love to make that true, though. And, Mai. Bring back those '94 classics!
Game’s getting hype…
In the end though as long as a good amount of people play, who cares? If popularity mattered to me I wouldn’t play fighters, but instead Halo 3(shivers).
Same here. I don’t like Halo very much at all and SFIV is slowly getting worse the more I play it. I just wished there was a bigger scene for SNK like Brawl and SF. You know, kinda like in South America and Japan.
Hopefully, some promotional tournies might get some people interested here.
Yah, SFIV has a slow-paced feel to it. I still prefer the tempo of 3s, melty blood, BB, and other games. I never tried played KOF games much, though.
I would suggest you brush up on the KOF/FF series before you get into XII. There’s a lot of history in those games and some very interesting stories. (I loved the Orochi Saga, it made me appreciate Leona, Kyo, and Iori a lot more)
I’ve only tried the ones on GGPO, and have no idea what the hell the story is. I do see what you’re saying. I mean even in fighting games I care about character backgrounds to a degree. It’s the reason why I played Oro so much in 3s.
Character’s that will make the cut (if that ghost screen turns out to be correct):
Geese, Krauser, Elisabeth, and someone else.
Characters that probably will make the cut (safe bets):
Mai/King/Blue Mary (either one, but only one will be picked), Yamazaki, 3 Nests characters that could be anyone but I’m leaning towards K’, Angel, and Whip (only 1 will be picked I’m sure), Rugal, Billy Kain, and either 1 or 2 characters from Mark of the Wolves; I’m going with Gato and Rock Howard.
Most random characters that will make the cut, because SNKP wants to surprise us:
Franco Bash, Heidern (just so he can kick Ash’s Metro ass all over town and show he’s the better Guile-clone), Mr. Karate, and Shingo.
ghost screen? what ghost screen?
yea what ghost screen
He’s talking about the panel of commentators that appeared for a split second during the end of a the 1 player arcade mode. Their was a very high quality version of the picture shown on SNK/Capcom that revealed the taller person as undoubtedly being Jin Fuhah from AoF3. Everyone else seemed to be nobody commentator’s people with no relevance. Someone probably can link to the picture.
Edit: I hope Jin Fuha isn’t one the console only characters, almost anyone else would be more sweet.
Edit2:

well there probably wont be more than a maximum of 4 console only fighters in it. i think either king or yuri to represent that aof vibe, or maybe takuma. but if theyre going for variety they might include todoh (whichever one) but he/shes probably to basic looking, and not that well known. im expecting at least 1 more fatal fury character, mai. though i wouldnt mind yamazaki.
Shingo and k’!!!
I second that, Mycah, old pal… 
I’m thinking that it’s probably going to be something like this (assuming 4 is the max):
Mai, Geese, K’ and Kula.
2 of the most popular Garou/FF characters, and the two NESTS saga characters that people care about the most.
But in any case, I would be REALLY surprised if K’ doesn’t find his way in this game, some how. I mean, COME ON, he’s on the Anniversary Logo!
Yeah, I noticed that too… In one of the early trailers for XII they first show K’ on that logo, and then in the actual game… no K’!
I’m feeling confident he’ll make it somehow.
Yeah man you get that pointless halo 3 jab in there WOO!
They better have K’ AND :mad: they better have Rock, AS PROMISED! Sorry but a stupid color palate of Rock’s colors on Kyo DOES NOT COUNT!!!:tdown: :mad: :arazz:
Sorry if it struck a nerve, but even as an ex-rabid FPS player the game is a joke. Auto-aim? in a shooter? Console shooters aren’t taken seriously, period.
