This is really a new step for KOF. Never has the game looked this nice and looks this well in motion. Finally get rid of that grainy shit. :tup: Health meters and character portraits almost look too damn plain for the game itself. Hope they spruce it up a bit.
For example: you using the same animation frames for a special move, and for a DM.
You don’t know what your talking about. Every KoF before this or after 95 was a rush down small jump feast. The sheer amount of new frames changes this completely, this will be a slower more methodical game. This is a weird stupid assumption that a lot of people are making.
Why would you be hyped about SF4 and not this? Someone could make the same incorrect assumption about that game too, and they’d both be wrong.
Anyway this game looks great and I believe the better looking a fighter the better playing a fighter. When you get right down to it 3rd Strike and GG’s popularity can mostly be attributed to aesthetics so I think this will be a big success.
They just need to fix that KO fall animation and give the collision some more work. looks like it plays great for the most part though.
LOL, not the best way to start your argument.
But yeah, this game seems to be pretty different to any other KOF with its slower speed, clashing, parry + CD counter hybrids and wall splats.
don’t tell me SFIV is original? please don’t!
Don’t think he did, no need to be so defensive, settle down a bit.
Everything can sound bad when you grossly oversimplify it.

> Why would you be hyped about SF4 and not this?
Well, I dunno about him, but perhaps he’s just not a KoF fan? I’m not a KoF fan and, pretty graphics aside, I’m not any more interested in playing this than previous KoFs. There’s nothing revealed so far that makes me want to play it, especially since it has very few characters that I like. I’m liking the lower speed though; hope it keeps that pace. I also hope it doesn’t devolve into a hyper-hop fest.
I’m hyped about SFIV because I’m a huge SF fan. In fact, I’m more hyped about the game after actually playing it. It also has plenty more characters I like. I dunno about non-SF fans though.
re: Ralf
Okay, seen vids now. And I don’t get it. Ralf is so huge now, he basically looks like a completely different character. 
Looks like the Franco Bash crack wasn’t far off: This is a repeat of what they did to Franco in the transition from Real Bout Fatal Fury to Real Bout Special. Take a character who was big, but otherwise normal-looking, and made him into a cartoonish monster, seemingly just because.
Raiden’s probably gonna be SvC Hugo in size.

Is Ash a male or a female?
DAMN is all I can say game moves like water…phew trust this WILL beat 3s animation
lmao
Male.
Before the pages of jokes bombard the thread, he’s a male.
did ash just blow a fuckin green kiss to benimaru
man hes sooooooooooo gay look at his crouching animation
Ash is a guy, sadly.
- Not fond of Athena’s new look already. Why is she getting so loli?
Yep. I think that is an Orochi Shemie joint from 02. Ash is like Kanye West, sampling everybody’s shit. Shit is weird to keep up with without super bars.
ash is awesome
definitely one of SNK’s best designs in a long time
fuck the haters
you’re all prolly gayer than him
I think SNK is trying to make her look like she did in Psycho Soldier.
Apple Bottom Athena, I like that.:lovin:
