When did they promise Rock Howard?
On another note Kain from MOTW would be badass.
Early, early, early developer interview. Saw it on Cyberfanatix I believe. Someone posted an interview. May be wrong, but I swear I heard that for the longest time.
AWRAWGHT!!! I guess my predictions are slowly coming true.
That’s badass, now let’s hear about Mai, King, Yuri, and Geese!
PS. I’m more than sold on this game. This is going to be crazy good! :looney:
Halo 3 is a TON of game for the price, and has built in features most games SHOULD have. Don’t hate.
As for KOF13, I have some more questions: having almost never played SNK fighters, are they easy to pick up and play? I’m playing a ton of HD Remix; will I transition smoothly?
want:
angel
vice
whip
blue mary
Well the worst part about older KOFs(to me anyway) was the shitty controls. That’s been handled.
KOF isn’t hard to pick up. It’s more active than SF because of hops and various normals in addition to hops. From what the characters have now, it’s easier to pick them up. No more qcb+Px3 with Iori. No more rekkas chains with Kyo.
The transition won’t be hard. Nothing too complex about this new KOF. No Q max combos or BC combos.
If you pick up KOFXII you’ll be fine.
Yeah, the maximum being about 4 sounds about right. If I had to nail down 4 more likely candidates it would be Mai, Rugal (cause you need a boss), K’ and Yuri or King.
Personally, my four would be K’, Vanessa, Yamazaki and Angel. While I have been all over the board talking about Mai’s absence, putting in Angel, will shut me up about anything wrong with this game, short of it blowing monkey chunks.
Mai got the “Bounce” which I respect but for me, bitches with quirky but effective gameplay=WIN
yes halo 3 is a poiece of shit. its got features other games should have had, but they implemented them wrongly thus fucked up. as a person who usually hates fps i gotta admit theres a few decent ones console fps at that. i had fun with gow 1 & 2. and black is still the best console fps ive ever played.
back on the kof track, so far the CC system seems the easiest or one of the easiest systems theyve used so far. there was the BC mode, strikers, tags, armour and something else mode and what not. im not really feeling the CC but well see. id rather have seen ex moves and more supers in it, also supercancels and breacking moves like in sf4 and motw. either way iom still happy with it. cant wait for the game and the console only characters to be revealed.
my bets are:
- Billy from rage of the dragons
- Mai
- Takuma
- and a boss
Billy was confirmed for the arcade version by TRIEU from S-C.com who works for SNK. So I don’t know what happened there. Snk ran out of time and couldn’t include it in the arcade version and now they’ll release it for the home version. Most likely billy will appear for the home version that is If TRIEU was saying the truth.
Yea ive been hoping that he was just a class A liar but he did call Andy and Raiden too, which really bugged me.
He’s a class A liar.
if you mean Gears of War that is not an FPS.
+1 to this shit right here. I was always hoping he would be in MI or something. Kain is my favorite SNK Boss that doesn’t include a list with Geese Howard on it. But I always thought him, Rock, and Grant would be a team in the next trilogy which would make more sense than anything. Shit, in KOF XIII it’s a damn good possiblity seeing as XII is this trilogy’s Dream Match of sorts. And if they get the look for XII to a science, they could pop these bad boys out every other year to bring the old feel of the series back. But my off-the-chain hopefuls would have to be Kim Sue-Il and Rosa. I was hella surprised not to see Rosa or Shishioh in XI but Shishioh did rep in NGBC. I really hope NGBC is the direction they go in next. It doesn’t need the XII makeover, just some HD Sprites, add some more characters, gameplay refinement and that shit will sell some copies. Hit up that Garou 2 which will be SNK’s SF4. A final UM game with the XI battle system and characters. And end the Alba trilogy in the MI series as well.
If I do say so myself, this should be SNK’s battleplan to get back in it. Capcom is gonna ride the 4 wave and bring back all types of shit. So why shouldn’t SNK do the same with XII.
its just as goood as. you shoot fps style, and even if you dont its still close enough in the 3rd person view. that being said has there even been a better fpr released for consoles than black? even i who hates fps liked that game a lot.
I love Gears of War 2, and I liked what they did by having shotguns become the most important weapon in matches. This of course is besides the special weapons that spawn in the map. The only other shooter I liked on consoles was Socom.
Halo has a TON of game for the price. Too bad it’s just so average. It was very dissapointing, I can’t believed I was hyped to get this. TF2 that came out later was much better and has grown quite nicely. (Scout update ftw). But hey, it’s better for you, I wish I could love it as much as everyone else.
Also, it’s KOF12 not KOF13. It’s actually not that hard to get into. It’s a bit like 3S in a sense that it’s more oriented towards close combat/heavy offense for the most part. It’s got srk and fireball motions, except there’s no 360 motions (a godsend really) and a simpler 4 button layout. The transition shouldn’t be too hard if you pick up KOFXI. You can find that for about ten bucks or so.
Love Gears 2 as well. Though you might want to reconsider your thoughts about the shotgun. My Hammerburst has a lot to say against that. :wgrin:
I just hate the weak online play. Host advantage, DCers, lag, glitches, and the such. It’s a miracle and a fun time if you have a legit game going on.
I’m hoping for at least six bonus console characters to bring the roster to 26, since SF4 already has a roster of 25, but with the amount of time it takes to create a character, then 3 bonus characters is probably more realistic.
But I mean c’mon. There’s no way KoF should have less characters than Street Fighter. KoF should at least have about 27 to 30 characters.
The roster for this game is really male-dominated for a KoF, so I think a female trio team would be good for the home release, just to balance the roster out. Mai (fan favorite) and Elisabeth (seen in preview artwork a while back) would be good bets to be included. And then maybe throw in Kasumi, Hinako, or Blue Mary. Story-wise, I would like to see Rugal’s son, Adel, included in the game too.
I don’t think K’ and Kula will be included in this installment of KoF, just because I think SNK wants to give players more reason to play 2002 Unlimited Match. But ya never know, they could make the cut just based on popularity alone.
Introducing new characters is a careful selection process because you want the new characters to bring something new and fresh to the existing roster while not hurting the game’s overall balance. There’s still a lot of fan favorites that have been left out of XII so hopefully SNK picks some good console characters in the end.
well they said in their Game Informer interview that they’re choosing characters for what they bring gameplay wise over popularity. Thats why I still think Billy Kane and Duck King have respective great chances of getting in. They can bring Jin from AOF3 though I would perfer Eiji, and throw in King since her style is somewhat unique (Though I hope they give her more Muai Thai style moves to live up to the style), though Id take vanessa (we can use a boxer afterall)
I wish that Gato (more appearances) and Rock show more face in KOF
Ryo/Robert bring the same aspects though ;/
