Yeah this is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery early build. Unless they are showing an older build and they are goind to give an update at TGS or something, there’s no way this will come out in 2008.
There’s this little spark thing, but no super pause.
Video’s always are slower, but you are right, however it’s a lot faster than I expected.
Looked like a counter hit. There’s some nice things you could do with hit stun like that. :woot:
I don’t get that move, it seems way too slow to use in a real fight. Even in 2003/XI
you could shoot it without comboing and make use of it.
Hmm. How did that happen? Sorry for double post. 
There’s an Athena vs. Ash match at Nico (account needed):
Much better than the first vid.
Wow finally news and a video! Thank you very much!
What the fuck is that blue flash? Is dat sum parry? D:
wow fuck snk
soooooooo first tvc turns out to be garbage, now this
What?
Is there any chance to watch Ash vs Athena video without having an account?
Nah, that blue flash is probably clashing like Melty instead of a parry- after looking at the vid.
KOF XII is a bonus to me, we have UM. I just don’t want to be one of those crotchedy old scrubs who rejects something because it’s new like some people on here- so I’ll definitely give KOFXII a fair chance. That said, I do have real concerns that the roster will hurt the game- 20 is not enough for KOF, and things clashing with DP’s also concerns me a bit.
That said I like the pace of the game, and love the animation quality.
Good to know I wasn’t the only one thinking that…
Ah, now THAT looks nice. Asia will be overjoyed… maybe the west will catch on this time also.

Which vid are you talking about? The nicovid one has a pretty obvious parry-like thing, looks a bit like an Akatsuki parry. Ash parries one of Athena’s normals early on in the vid and attempts to parry a Psycho Ball.
Jumps look very floaty but I actually like the speed of the game. KOF was getting way too fast, it needed to slow the fuck down.
Animation is awesome.
I still don’t like Kyo’s flames, they look ugly and unnatural to me. Black borders suck.
I know what happened to Ralf…he swallowed Clark.
some new info.
read the game willl have 40 to 45 characters but dont quote me on this. the question marks or whatever are secret characters for the arcade beta version. are they serious?
also, ralph was always hella buff. in the old games they had shitty sprites and clark and ralph shared the sprite. ralph was always shorter than yamazaki but heavier. in other words he was always hellla buff as yamma is a buff ass mofo himself. his attacks always seemed like the attacks of a buff ass mofo as well. its good to see the sprite went buff as hell well.
Thanks fallot! Though I subscribed before you gave the link to me:bgrin:
What is the source of that info?
wrong vid. look at the ash v athena one
Just saw that. I thought you meant something else. I think it will be MI-style. What I’m seeing is some borrowing from the MI series (Leona/Ralf outfits from there as well)- if that’s the case, the parries won’t be like SF3 at all, as you’ll be able to counterparry, and they have a whiff animation.
I’m sorry but there’s buff and there’s Potemkin buff. I hope it’s just a bad angle because Ralf looks “TOO BIG TO EVEN FUCKING WALK” big in that one picture.
