Really? You don’t say…
They’re all liars too
So jabs can parry projectiles?
Looks that way. You still receive chip damage though, but I hope they take that shit out or tone it down.
Has someone seen Billy in one of the new vids of the game floating around? Cause I honestly can’t fathom why they would waste a roster spot on such a random character from a past game when they are apparently chopping the roster down to 20.
Edit: I’m a little late having just seen the videos today but damn, if Ralf is on some steroids I hate to see what they’d do to Tizoc or Raiden.
Raiden is gonna be like Juggs huge. 
So looking at the trailer it is totally Whoo!. However.
What the hell happened to Athena?!
Athena looks great, long live to Apple Bottom Athena
So Ryo has autoguard on Hao Shokoken? Interesting…
I’m going to have to say Oswald, K’ (not Goro), Yuri, Clark, Raiden/Big Bear (not Andy), Mai, Billy – mainly because they seem to be relatively more popular than the other choices.
The reasoning of course for Raiden over Andy is that if Raiden’s been confirmed, it makes sense to have him in the FF team instead of Andy, particularly since the team isn’t Terry/Andy/Joe anymore. Yuri seems more popular in Japan than Takuma does. Oswald was a huge hit, it’d make no sense to have him. Goro could be in, but so could K’. K’ is ridiculously relevant to the story and he has teamed up before with Benimaru, so it isn’t far-fetched to have him. Mai is going to be in there because Japan wants to see her big ol’ titties in high definition. Clark is popular enough everywhere to have him over Heidern. ROTD Billy may or may not get canned for some other character (K’ may take his spot if Goro is in Kyo’s team), but if he’s confirmed, then…
I wouldn’t put it past SNK to make time-unlock characters in the vein of SF4, by the by!
As for the game:
- How the fuck? Where do you get supers from? How do you do them? GOD DAMNIT SNK
- What’s with fireballs clashing with normals? GOD DAMNIT SNK
- Where’s the hit stop? GOD DAMNIT SNK
- Why are Kyo’s fire effects still ugly as sin? GOD DAMNIT SNK
- What the FUCK RALF STEROIDS HOLY SHIT. GOD DAMNIT SNK
- Good job on keeping the roster small, SNK. You can actually balance this game out / release it in a realistic time frame now!
- WHERE THE FUCK IS K’ ALREADY GOD DAMNIT SNK
- The HELL an Akatsuki-style parry. I don’t know what to think. So for the sake of argument, GOD DAMNIT SNK
^ chill son its coming out spring 09…
Game looks cool as hell, cant wait to play it
when ralf was a lad
he ate four dozen eggs
every morning to
help him get laaaarge
and now that ralf’s grown
he eats five dozen eggs
so he’s roughly the
size of a baaaaaarge
I haven’t seen any info on console release, whats the word?
Love Ryo, Ralf and Leona’s new sprites.
Holy Shit! This game looks amazing. The animation is smooth as hell most of the time.
fuck the bullshit i want a big roster atleast like 98 big or fucking 99 shit not 20 that shit is gay
where the fuck is adelhied, k,and iori
i’m not really saying anything bad about it
i’m just voicing my current dissatisfaction
kind of how i voiced it about judgment in kofxi (and i still hate that fucking system, fuck)
I dont have any problem with this KOF , exept for Ralf. What happened ?!?!?!
60% Beta. Meters aren’t complete yet for some reason. Director said infinite supers were on at the show in order to show off the game and graphics, not to be a final product.
Just the wave of the future. Arcana has plenty of that, too. Japan loves it.
60% BETA
They must have hired the same hacks that “updated” the graphics for the PS2 versions of KOF 2003 and SvC Chaos.
He’s been taking horse steroids for the past 4 years.
They could. Doesn’t quite mean that they will…
Not popular in Japan…still, I don’t think they’ll leave him out.
Could be stupid, but nobody can tell at this point.
I just hope the same old fanboy purists who turned up their noses at XI just because of a fucking tag system don’t complain about THAT.
Because they still forget to put alpha channel on thoose FXes.
That style of parry was in Last Blade before akatsuki.
The only real sensible complaint at the moment are the stupid clashes. One of the developers was talking about how they need to fix that for future versions so perhaps they’ll un-gay it up a bit though. I don’t see anything wrong with the CD counter / parry hybrid right now, it doesn’t strike me as clearly retarded as the clashes. Blitzkampf and SFIV have been pulling off similar systems pretty well so I’m not worried yet.
Meters, combo counters, etc. are all unfinished because this build was just a way to show the pretty sprites more than anything else. We’ll probably see something a bit more polished by TGS.
And anyone expecting a '98 size roster for a brand new 2D fighter is completely out of his mind.
