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

[Shinjojin]

Here goes somthing I got off of cyberfanatix.

As for the system changes in the website update, the change is only in the CC (critical counter) and now you are not able to do a CC just randomly like it was before, now you need a full power gauge to do a single CC (yay!!) and the power gauge will get empty after a certain period of time (which is not mentioned).

as for the message board and what they are talking about, it is a message from the producer and the main planner (the same 2 guys who appeared in the premium event), and what is worth mentioning is this?

the changes from the premium event’s version is as follows:

1- CC’s (goal from using it, target, objective) (appearance: which means the changes in the effect to make it easier to recognize) (condition or situation) has become much easier to understand and recognize.

2- the greatest change in the CC is that you need a maximum power gauge, and with this change when you fill the power gauge to full, now you can use this advantage in your own good and decide the winner

3- so now when you have a full bar this is the match’s climax, but if you fill up your gauge and a fixed time passes you will lose your full gauge back to zero!!

4- to make you feel better (lol i swear this is not a dirty joke) when the CC is decided the zoom has been adjusted or tuned, the coolness in deciding the moment has been improved.

5- and now the color of the effect that indicates the start of the CC has been changed to yellow (look at the pic which is on the left when andy is hitting benimaru with a strong punch that is how the start of the CC looks like now) and the picture on the right shows you the moment for the final attack (u can see benimaru’s head is glowing red, that’s it!!)

6- in addition, we received a lot of opinion’s about pulling some attacks is hard like asking to review the operability of some techniques or the DM’s production (pulling out a DM being hard) or adjusting the performance or efficiency of the techniques and stuff, so we adjusted such stuff and we would like you to try it out in this new version

Well at least they’re taking thier sweet time with the CC system. I can’t wait for the Loke test! :bgrin:

[Shotokan_Symphony]

It still sounds like a braindead version of CvS2 CC to me.

[arstal]

I’ll be there.

I’ll let you guys know what I think of it. I’ll be getting there early sunday morning, so I should have no problem at least doing a few games before a buncha people show up.

I’m not much of a KOF fan in particular, nor do I really play games that involve footsies (i suck at ST, SFIV, kof games, and any old snk game etc), as I’m more of a “combo a bajillion hits in games where every character can cancel everything into everything and do a gazillion air dashes” type of guy. KOFXII still looks hot, and still looks worth checking out.

KOF doesn’t have the air dashes, but everything else KOF2k2 or KOFXI would be to your liking. They’re my least favorite KOF’s though.

[X20ASTRIKEFREEDOM]

They have 2 loke test vids on cyberfanatix.

Everyone has multiple supers now.

[Ki_Shima]

I thought about it more and realized my statement was full of shit :wonder:

[MUSOLINI]

Which show gasp! super freezes! Maybe MUSOLINI’ll bitch less now :V

nah ill keep bitching and moaning till the shits the way it should be. meaning the shit plays as good as it looks. thats all.

also this is srk, not braindead forums, right? whats wrong with super pauses and advanced hard to do combos that take every ounce of skill you have to make them connect and work. the more you are capable of without breaking the game, the better IMO. so the next thing id like to see is supercancels and perhaps even, yes im gonna say it, ex moves. but what good would that do without multiple superbars? dont know, maybe they can have it so that when your bar is full a more special version of the special move than the normal one comes out. just tossing in some thoughts. as the superbar runs empty by itsself anyway.

p.s. for some reason the rushdown style of previous kofs seems to be lost. maybe cause of the lack of moves and supers and super bars? it plays more dead now, for some reason the threat of missing some moves is gone. dont know, havent played it so cant really judge things tthat arent so obvious (unlike the superpause, which was obviously needed very bad).

either way what do you guys think about it? at cf theres a thrread where you can write down some ideas for improving the game. ima check out the rest of the vids to see what we can think of. if you got some good ideas, bring it on.

[ReKo]

‘Classic’ Terry but with his close C from Garou?? Nooooooo!

[Atb_555]

Mmm not too keen on the idea of the bar depleating once full

K Groove business

[Cronopio]

Meter drains WAY too fast. Even though throws have whiff animation and are two-button inputs, they seem to do pretty good damage and ticks seem to be closer to SF. From the third video, it seems like corner crossups still work (3:51).

CCs needing meter is an obvious change, but I’m glad it’s that way. I guess they made them not use meter in previous builds for the same reason that they made supers use no meter before.

I think the game is starting to look good, even though there are a lot of things I still don’t like (for example, Ash clashes with Andy’s AA and manages to punish him back in one of those vids ).

[RaiJinKen]

for some reason the braindead rushdown style of previous kofs seems to be lost.

and thank god for that

still too much jump happy, but that could be the players not being very good in every video so far

kof needs to be more ground based

[Cronopio]

Wait, clashing with projectiles doesn’t do chip damage now? Shit.

[DJ_Ether]

Im liking that new Kensou and Duo Lon super. Good to see fresh supers.

[Virtua_Leon]

andy crouching c x2 wtf is all that about? ch the first hit maybe?

fuck super cancels, ex moves, i’m liking the old skool vibes this kof is bringing.
I wish they didn’t tone the damage down on kensous super, ryo, lobert, terry all day

[MUSOLINI]

i’ll say it now and i’ll say it again…

the ONLY thing that’s keeping me hype for this game, is seeing if Ash will actually become the final boss or not. this is probably the shittiest kof i have ever saw. it looks great? sure…but who gives a fuck…lol! i’ma say it now, Duo Lon for god tier! Raiden for craptacular tier. and for christ sake release this b.s on ps2. arcana 2 looks just as good as this game. and no one wants to pay $64.00 for a half ass kof game.

meanwhile mira will remain the BEST and original kof game ever IMO, with kof 02um being a close 2nd!

only a moron like you could like mira bettter than this or the older kofs. 98, 95, 2k2 and some others shit all over mira.

on a different note, ash might have an infinite possible like the old iori one. his light can connect to his f or b + B. the b or f + B can be linked to a crouching B. what else? lets wait for the newer loketest and what else they casn think of.

[Shinjojin]

Hmmm, it seems that when you do a DM by itself, there is no pause. But when you combo into one, it does.

Awesome!!

Edit: Nevermind I take it back, it looks like all the DMs pause reguardless. My bad!

Anyways, more vids! Sorry if these were posted already:

[ChopperMan]

well aren’t we the hypocrite? seems to me you NEVER played mira before, because EVERYTHING you said you wanted in kof is NOT in kof 12…

but IS in mira…and yet you say this garbage (kof 12), is better than mira.

Isn’t mira the horrible 3D game?

and how can you call a game that isn’t even out yet the 2nd best KoF? (02UM)

I think that pretty much says everything about your opinion.

Anyways awesome new vids. I think with all the changes they’re making it’s safe to say arguing over loketest builds is pretty much pointless.

Game is shaping up. Looking forward to playing it this summer

Hmmm, it seems that when you do a DM by itself, there is no pause. But when you combo into one, it does.

As long as you can combo into them I’m straight

I’m not sure if that’s true though since in one of the vids, Robert froze in midair when Ash’s super ball came out.

Which is really weird since he was able to move during the hand twirling before it.

[ChopperMan]

i bet the only reason why people dis mira is because it’s 3d (and probably never touched the game).

Yeah I’ll admit that’s me

but I’ve seen matches and they’ve done nothing to make me re-evaluate my opinion

and I mean isn’t that what you’re doing to 12 right now? So how can you give other people shit for it?
