The 2nd KOFXII Thread (debuting at AM Show in September)

SAB-CA · 2009-06-13T02:43:46.000Z

Oh, I wasn’t trying to discuss Shiki’s point directly, just stating my own opinion on the subject.

Anakron · 2009-06-13T03:42:22.000Z

SAB-CA:

I like the way KoF XII does it’s long juggles so far. They usually involve different moves, and when they DON’T, the characters actually have different ways of saying the same move, so it doesn’t just sound like SPAM SPAM SPAM.

GG’s Repeat-juggle stuff is actually one of the main reasons I don’t play it as much as I could. “Hoh, hoh, hoh, ore, ore, ore…” it has a weak sense of beat and style to it. XII here really has nice dramatic timing; even watching Mature multi-flip into the same move, or watching Ryo “Uuu-ReYA!” people into the air all day, still has more satisfying impact and enemy float time.

:rolleyes:
wtf are you talking about
what’s it matter anyway

So guys I heard this was the Kyo thread? Is this the place where I cry about him losing his rekkas?

Hatred_Edge:

Wait… don’t tell me

ALL THIS TIME you didn’t know Kyo was back to his old version? So Andy, Robert being back to their old version didn’t give you a clue?

…I didn’t bother to read his updates cause I just naturally assumed he would be the same. It’s like removing a haduken from ryu…there was no way to know. It was a bad experience too, I was so excited playing the game for the first time then picked my main team…only to discover Kyo fucking sucks lol. Man I havn’t left a arcade so pissed in a long time.

Edit: Fuck 95 Kyo, exactly what did he have that made him more engaging aside from a linear playstyle…NGBC>>>95.

t3h_mAsTarOth · 2009-06-13T11:08:49.000Z

all this kyo talk just reminded me of saishyo from '98… he was cool… and i hate iori’s new style… only the new end animation of his DM looks really cool because new iori doesn’t have o.iori’s i say o.iori because i never used regular iori …ever coolest moves were hcb+K and his SDM from '97 and for some reason he had the sexiest looking dp i’ve ever seen …anyways i personaly don’t care about anyone other than clark… and goro sorta… so first question is there a 1 vs. 1 mode like other kofs? i really hope so…

besides that my other question is can clark do this combo…

C_D whatever links into > C+D > hop > air throw…

if not possible at mid stage i think atleast it will work in the corner… got the idea from watching his combo vid…

Coast · 2009-06-13T12:03:38.000Z

yeah there is one vs. one. I seen it on a screen shot. and thanks for the add bro.

kyo 94/95 > all of the other versions

Hatred_Edge · 2009-06-13T14:32:01.000Z

Yay Old school Kyo vs Rekka Kyo. Awesome we’re having this topic YET AGAIN.

Game design is about much more than just graphics and processing power.

Elements of timing, proper use/strength of sound effects, everything goes into making a satisfying experience.

SNK and Capcom have babbled many times over the years about the art of these games, and I appreciate good art when I see it. Thus, I was talking about it.

Really, I’m sure a majority of us here have been playing fighters for a long time; have you ever noticed the details that go into the games you enjoy most? You’ve never preformed a combo that has a timing to it that just clicks with you, with your favorite characters? Or seen a move that make ya wince at the strength of impact?

In japanese games, I find that their timing and “feel” of gameplay are often one of the reasons WHY I like them over something western developed, like say, Gears, or Mass Effect. I think it’s an important element of “quality” to a game.

SNK§ has always been especially good at these things, and I’m sure part of it is because of their intense love for old anime and manga (Seen all throughout the attacks of KoF, like with Ralph’s Galactica Phantom, or Leona’s V Slasher) They put a lot of “fanservice” in the games, hoping people will appreciate these details, and I’m just doing my part to appreciate their fine detail work.

Is that really so hard to understand?

Or is all we’re expect to do on this forum is to complain about what we don’t like? :wtf:

System_1 · 2009-06-13T20:32:59.000Z

Guys, I don’t know if you caught wind of this but there’s a thread that was made a while ago by the name of the Kyo Thread, might want to look it up.

Congratulations sir. You are the biggest cry baby in this thread.
Kyo doesn’t fucking suck. It’s just that you suck with him.

Nevermind you were talking about something else exclusively that guy didn’t mention.

But yeah, the game is really satisfying. It feels really good… It has alot of UMPH. Comparing Street Fighter 4’s dying moan to KoF XII’s earth shattering orgasm is impossible.

Also, you forget that this is SRK. But at least it isn’t Cyberfaggox.

rhymeswithaddy · 2009-06-13T21:23:02.000Z

Hey you guys ever hear of this dude named Kyo?

System_1 · 2009-06-13T22:32:09.000Z

Return_of_Shiki:

Wait, so when KOF does it, it’s bad…:tdown:
But when GG does it, it’s good?:tup:

Except he’s talking about how Kyo’s recent iterations have had combos strings of specials that were truly superfluous - i. e. they were only asthetically different, but were functionally the same.

In GG, combos are different dependent on so many factors that, while they may look only subtly different, they *actually won’t work *interchangeably.

system · 2009-06-13T22:38:26.000Z

Rekka Kyo vs his old boring counter-part is a huge demotion however, at least Ryo and Ben didn’t compeltly get fucked over.

Probably works with standing C, CD…

Coast · 2009-06-14T07:10:15.000Z

guys with ps3:

think we can start our own SRK KOF XII Clan? supposedly u can fit 100 players in one clan so there should be plenty room for everyone here and then some (newcomers) and if it fills another could be started.

What u guys think?

(or has this been done already?)
