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

I hope they’ll do it, since this is called rebirth and snk is bringing lots of old things back to kof xii, but its unlikely they drew those sprites as well.

wooo!! Iori , lol andy is as huge as terry, who looks bigger raiden or ralf I can’t tell

TaZaR · October 9, 2008, 2:22pm

Checked those famitsu screenshots, cool! :tup:

Okay, I changed my mind, Iori looks cool in his new outfit, so as Raiden. Andy is okay too.

If you look closer Andy is still a bit smaller, he just cheeting, cuz he has baggy pants. Raiden seems bigger than Ralf.

Hmm…

That’s a screenshot from 2002 Unlimited Match.
New guy believed to be a replacement for K9999.

Raiden is in it. I think he’s on par with Ralf.

Bastards, they cut off the video right when Iori was supposed to jump in.

Some info on Iori

Iori has a new costume. Looks less 80s and more like a trendy Akiba dude, lol.

Since the ending of KOFXI showed that Iori lost his Orochi powers, this means he can’t do his standard uppercut and fireball. Although most of his normals are the same, his specials now consist of slashes similar to Mature. He really plays and feels like a different character.

Iori’s DP is now an upward diagonal slash. Reminds me of another fighting character’s move, but I can’t remember. Hmm…

No QCB P X3. It’s an entirely new motion. QCB P does a different backward slash. Same goes with QCB K. I can’t tell whether he still has his old HCB,F P grab. Dammit, I really need to play more of him tomorrow!

Iori’s super is still the same motion, and attacks look the same. But he ends it with an X-style slash.

TaZaR · October 9, 2008, 6:25pm

My guess was that, they will give him slashing attacks instead of firey ones. It seems I was right. :karate:

Cronopio · October 9, 2008, 6:25pm

Niiiiice. They didn’t go the lazy route and completely redesigned his moves. Good shit.

Vicious_KAT · October 9, 2008, 6:35pm

Heh, can’t wait until he gets the Orochi powers back…that willl be deadly.

Hecatom · October 9, 2008, 8:03pm

same here, i hope that he will kick the ass of ahs first without the flames to show that he doesnt need his flames to punish him :rock:

raiden looks cool, now i want to see some footage of iori

Wellman · October 9, 2008, 8:23pm

Weird, I’d figure they wouldn’t bother sticking to the story with this game and just put him in the standard flames.

Atb_555 · October 9, 2008, 8:36pm

Well it makes sense since they wont have to reanimate him again for the next KoF since its already done.

cain_e · October 9, 2008, 8:51pm

the iroi news got me pumped to check this game out. sweet

Mycah_Leonhart · October 9, 2008, 9:26pm

Man Kyo without the chain punches is really killing me, This might be the first KOF since I started playing KOF (1999 DM on DC) that I’m not going to use Kyo. :shake:

I dunno…I’m kinda pissed they fucked my Main up like that but I might have to replace him with New Iori ironicly

rukawa_kaede · October 9, 2008, 9:32pm

^old kyo isn’t that bad if you know how to use him

freeman iori, yeah!!

Blake_White · October 9, 2008, 9:35pm

Can’t wait to see new Iori in action. It’s gonna be like 96 again with the roles reversed.

Cronopio · October 9, 2008, 9:49pm

I prefer old Kyo to the new ones.

Mycah_Leonhart · October 9, 2008, 9:51pm

I dunno, we’ll see.

Heard they are just tossing us a bone with this one and the next “Real KOF” will be XIII?

Leebee_Link · October 9, 2008, 10:06pm

I’d say oboro guruma for aragami and dokugami is a pretty fair trade.

Hatred_Edge · October 9, 2008, 10:08pm

HEY! IT’S IORI! WHERE?!
HERE!
