Your loss, if anything, XII has revitalized interest with characters like Kensou, Chin, and Iori due to their new movelists. Kensou looks quick and high flying, Chin looks like a possibly excellent 2d drunken boxer, and Iori has a completely new playstyle due to his lack of flames. If you’re that hungry for staple characters, then hope for their inclusion for the Console release. I welcome the re:birth personally.
I’m kind of the opposite I guess. I was really hyped for sf4 before release, then it took me like 3 days of playing to realize I didn’t like it very much and it wasn’t for me. As for characters…I don’t really feel loyalty to any character, I either like the game or I don’t like the game, and if I like it, then I will enjoy playing whatever characters I’m strongest with shrug
And instead we have Nona fucking up the artwork/sprites. Yay.
Bring back Hiroaki.
Hey Dandy, test how easy it is to clash with fireballs.
Call me crazy, but I think that’s going to be important to determine if the game is going to be 110% rushdown like KOF XI.
As much as Falcoon sucks, I don’t think him leaving is a good thing in the long run.
Like Ono, he’s a hack, but also like Ono, he GOT STUFF DONE. KOF MIRA is actually a good game in spite of his gay cowboy/lolita fashion bullshit. The series had a ton of potential.
His “generic-style” art was quite good in 2003 and SvC Chaos.
Yeah, he royally fucked up Card Fighters DS…but at least it got released…horribly…but that’s better than nothing…maybe?
On the subject, the newest Game Informer interview with Nona and Ogura actually has a thinly-veiled snipe at Falcoon.
I don’t have access to the game! Perhaps you are confusing me with someone else. I don’t think clashing with fireballs is going to be an issue, at least in determining how good rushdown is. Fireballs in KOF were never goo because of the block damage, it’s that they kept you from getting in and doing anything, or putting you in a position to where if you tried to roll/jump past them, you’d get hit. Being able to jab a fireball isn’t going to change those things, and in fact it’ll just make you easier to hit.
well I won’t have chris on this one but who cares
this is the chance for me to try out other characters that I don’t like but for some reason, I feel comfortable using like benimaru and leona
and sfiv isn’t that awesome as you describe it
I don’t know what you’re talking about
People were playing it tonight,I had to leave before it got setup, expect more info for strikefreedom, probably later, he was there and things sounded hype when he called.
I’ll be sure to look out for all that stuff when I go tomorrow.
so wait… ITS OUT?! 0_0
wtf @ this being on location anywhere.
Expect DG to fly to Portland.
Here is the first vid. It kinda sucks cause I recorded it with my phone. [media=youtube]S0upZYKHeqI[/media]
The game is pretty good I would say it feels like 98/cvs2. The game looks really good the match vids you see online do the game no justice you have to see it in person and I played with a few characters today Ash,Iori,Kyo,Athena,Andy,Robert and Kensou. they have like easy stuff for scrubs and they have the technical stuff for the KOF players like link combo and the regular combos you really need to get the timing down for them and Andy does have fients in the game you press B&D on certain specials.
Tomorrow I will be bringing my digital video recorder with me so I can tape a whole bunch of matches.
well damn. So it begins! Can’t wait for more info.
are you kidding me
Seems legit. Ohhhhhh boy…
I’ll be there for sure tomorrow recording vids too
I’m gonna be there in the morning to get some practice in and to film the intro and if there are people there get some match vids too.
I’ll likely head down next weekend then.
So is it just Andy with Feints?
If so…
I’m thinking I’ll use Andy/Beni/Iori.
I guess I’ll need to feel around the characters. Leona seemed pretty fun too.
i wonder if the b+d specials apply to more than andy, like if Terry has Breakings, or all of them do or have other options from that command. Oh, I’m starting to get excited again.
NO FREAKING WAY!!!
The game is out already!!!
I thought it was going to come out in mid-April?
It’s only a matter of time till we see it in our local arcade!!!
Portland got random godly luck, its cause I put in the luck name at the start of the game to make sure we got those rare drops. haha.
Anyway, what time does tilt open? Id swing buy at 10:00 but I have a meeting with my teacher at 11:15 so I can’t make it, but I’ll be there after I get off work for sure.
Def looking at playing Kensou,Chin,Leona… maybe Duo Lon, Shen Woo.
