empty jump grab can be beaten by just hitting a button which is funny and sad
too bad they didn’t just release 2k2um for current gen console, that game is godlike
Its on the way, smart guy. 
I think its a pretty cool game really. It doesn’t par with the very best of the series by any means. If you’re a fan of the series though, you’d be doing yourself a disfavor not to check it out. Especially at that price.
And by “people” I’m sure you mean me and Keits right? :rolleyes:
And this of course…
KOFXII is a friendly beginner game. That’s why it suck.
I don’t get the thing about KOF12 gameplay been “Safe”, I find the game balance and that is great and I have fun playing it when I can.
In no way I think it sucks, it just not worth the 60 dllrs of a full game price tag when the online is not that good and it has nothing to do in single player. But if you have someone to play the game, you will have fun.
Because people actually come to this section. :3
It’s 95 Robert with his Kick Dance grab…Yeah…not missing much.
This.
That comes next year , at least on 360.
Probably with no English and shitty online though.
There is, it’s just that the other games are played in the strategy section, when they should be below FGD. SRK admins shoulld really change that- the other games strategy sections should be somewhere much more visible and prominant.
If it didn’t have stupid ass clashes and CCs weren’t so braindead (like if you had to actually risk something to activate them or, even better, if they weren’t in the game at all) it maybe wouldn’t be so bad… I liked the “wall stun” mechanic they wanted to implement at first over the stuff they left in. It would still feel really incomplete and rushed product but I think it would be leagues better than what we got.
Just stick to 2k2 UM if you want a good and new KOF.
I thought it looked really cool at first but it croaked faster than blazblue did by far. Matches at arcade infinity and stuff made it look really fun too. But everybody else has bailed on it to go back and play 98 or 2k2 but i don’t blame em if this game sucks. I was actually expecting it to be at sbo this year but when it wasn’t I knew it was dead. But come on Blazblue and TVC made it so i thought it was in like the rest of the 2008-2009 round of fighters. Haven’t played it yet but i still wanna try it out
Simple answer is that the game is very unfinished and was rushed out.
I thought the character sprites were gorgeous and changing the playstyles of a few characters (love the new Chin and Ralf movesets) was a good move, but ya, it is a severely flawed game.
Also I’d like to throw in that XII has perhaps some of the worst backgrounds in the history of fighting games.
I do believe it lays the groundwork for an amazing future KOF game, though. If we eventually get another 98-calibur game based on the XII-sprites/system, XII can be forgiven.
I think the new sprites were too much to handle for them. There was an interview a while back saying that it was taking over 3 months just to do one character. Thats why we don’t see many characters in XII and why they rushed the game. They ran out of time and resources.
this is my thoughts exactly. fucking snk, fucking us fans
everyone needs to find this fucking game and play the shit outta it

As noted once in this thread already, stop crying about not getting something that is on its way.

cool
See, to me this is funny, because its most likely going to have the same garbage-ass netcode. AMIRIGHT?!
Most likely =/
Also the XBLA ver will be a toned down one, since the KOF98UM for XBLA is worse than the PS2 ver, in every aspect.
