@path

(and ya i still hateit that K´will not be there..gonna search for another main -.-)
 
Yeah, I will get it just to support the hard work and effort SNK put into making the game. But I really wish they add more content to the game so that it will attract more people. Story mode, bosses, and whatnot maybe superficial for a fighter game, but it get people looking and interested. SNK got people attention when they first announce it, but then they lost them cause it seem lacking.

They need to do something to get people attention back. Some good marketing strategy will help, look what it did for Blazblue. Art book, LE got people talking. SNK need people to talk positivity about the game even if it doesn't even relate to the mechanic or gameplay. I want this game to do well, I really do, but with all the negativity surround it, none about the game mechanic btw, people are just tune out to it. Even with Best of E3 game award people just go "meh".

What SNK needs to do is stop being stupid, and start investing in non-shitty netcode for their games. There's something wrong if an emulator gives you better netcode then the actual game(s). Go read the KoF98UM thread on srk.com, and you'll see that many of the posts after it's released are basically: "I'm not getting KoF12 if the netcode is going to be this bad."
 
Word on the street is that the netcode is terribad. Unless they patch it really well, and very quickly, looks like SNK has managed to fuck themselves over. Again.

Patch in the works. Fingers crossed.
 
page: you are correct. I played my friend ryry (who I've played in BB online quite a few times, he lives in the same state) and the lag was SOOOO bad. I'm not gonna even try online again till they patch it. I'd rather do arcade mode and practice mode haha

It really does, that's the scary thing lol. They should have just given him the big red overcoat, it's not like it's all that implausible in live action.

Yeah, i'm not nessesarily all for the notion that video game characters need to appear precisely in movies as they do in the games. I understand that certain appearances and costume schemes just dont translate well at all in live action.

It does not mean however, that free reign is given to completely fuck up the characters by making them look like dog shit. The general appearance and personality of a character still has to be clear to the audience, and it still has to feel like Rugal. My mind is just not accepting it if Vice and Mature are taller than him.

The best Rugal in my opinion would probably be Paul Michael Levesque(Triple H).
 
Too bad about the netcode. Hopefully when I buy it two weeks from now, the patch will have remedied things. The game looks great, even on a SD. Can only imagine the beauty with HD.
 
Just got the game (1st time digging deep into a KOF game) and so far, I'm not feeling it too much. I duno, Maybe it will grow on me. I want to main Athena and Shen Woo but I cant decide on a third... Hows Kensou?
 
To told myself I was going to learn this game and I am. I rented it today from my job to try it out. I'm maining Leona and Iori definitely. My third is a toss up between Elizabeth or Mature. Not sure who to pick.

Anyway, I'm a complete newb when it comes to playing KoF so I have no clue how the buttons are configured on a stick.

It's 4 buttons so I assume the notations are A, B, C, and D?

A = Light Punch
B = Hard Punch
C = Light Kick
D = Hard Kick

or is it

A = Light Punch
B = Light Kick
C = Hard Punch
D = Hard Kick

Lastly, what would the layout be on a stick?

BCD
Axx

or

ABC
Dxx

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out, lol.
 
I just played this too. Early impressions are that it's really slow, but thankfully I've seen people play this at a higher level and I've seen how fast and aggressive it CAN play. Doing that right off the bat like you would with a BlazBlue definitely isn't happening though. The few links I did figure out didn't have strict SF4 style timing, but special move and super inputs seemed to be more strict.

The game doesn't look as sharp as BB, but the animations are so smooth and have a real cool factor about them. Ash's walking away animation cements him as a total douchebag lol, and throwing sonic booms from his pocket? Ralf/Clark's vulcan punch looks awesome, and I love how they're so much bigger than the other characters too. Chin's little drunken staggers are funny, when you do start to figure out combos they flow together really smoothly (Kyo's shoulder into super for one) and the whole game just animates much smoother than BlazBlue, albeit with less overall clarity and flash.

I'm gonna gamefly this for sure, if I had money to be spending on games I'd probably pick it up, but I don't. I hear the online is total shit, but it's already patched on the triple and it's coming soon for 360. But yeah it's probably gonna feel really slow at first. Stick with it and figure it out a little, I'd say.

It's a lot faster than SF4 even at low level...cause you actually have mobility.

lol... that's so true... sf4 was pretty disappointing... i sold it to get kofxii...

i'm still waiting for it... and all the negativity about it is just stupid... yes casual gamers want extra crap and online... but die hard fans like me appreciate the work they put into it...

so i'm just fine with offline play... i just wanna know who in Toronto is getting it?
 
the gameplay itself is really solid but people are nitpicking the game to death because of online play that hasn't been patch, lack of characters (I think 22 is perfectly fine lol), lack of single player modes, etc
