How would you rate the balance of the current patch?
--- 425650202

The only change in the patch is the introduction of Kim, who is predictably a top-tier prospect.

i fucking hate modern tier lists
why the fuck are the bottom two characters in B-
--- 425659229
>>425658991
Because it means the balancing is tight enough that the characters are still competitive. The performance measurement is meant to be in a sort of objective sense, not merely relative to other characters. It's meant to say "just because these characters are the weakest in the roster doesn't mean they're bad."

If you had to boil down KoF to it's absolute, very basics, to reinforce your fundamentals and develop better habits, how would you go around it?

I thought about this after seeing one of those Bronze to Diamond SFV videos, and I thought it was interesting how he simplifies characters in bronze to a poke, an anti air, and a combo to do if you block an extremely punishable move, and that's enough to develop the right mindset to tackle Street Fighter if a beginner opted to follow his words.

How would that work for KoF, though? It naturally seems like a far harder game to get a grasp of, because of its hops, and how every midrange standoff can be considered a rock paper scissors situation. Maybe limiting your approach would be more hurtful in the long term.

KoF is pretty heavy on universal mechanics, most tag/team fighters are. It's why you see good players play on random select all the time.

i don't know, i just do.
he's very hateable.
--- 425686391
>>425685926
The last few people in these threads and constantly told us they hated him ended up admitting Maxima made them feel things or coping by insisting that Lady Maxima should be canon so they wouldn't cop a feel.
--- 425686641
>>425685926
I don't really see how. I can understand him not being near your top 10 favorites but he's pretty mild mannered. Doesn't really step on anyone's toes. Is a cool bro. Not really sure what your beef is.
--- 425687540
>>425685397
In KOF, Xiangfei has a special intro against all Fatal Fury-era Southtown locals where she shouts "I ain't losing to you!" (translated) while getting revved up.
--- 425691681
>>425686641
Not him but Maxima does come off as odd/off putting based on first impressions. That's the vibe I got from him when I first played the series but that very quickly changed to liking him. His original design didn't really match his personality and his newer ones are all awful since they got rid of the "show don't tell" aspect of his cyborg nature by making it really obvious he's one.

There's also the pattern that the people who obsessively hate him are usually closeted gays that another anon pointed out but the less said in that the better.

This. Dude's weird.
I don't think I've seen anyone who actually likes him.
--- 425696885

Does he even have a dick?
I think he's dickless lol eunuch.
--- 425703619
>>425702705
He has a dick and semen according to a question a fangirl asked Neo Geo Freak in 2000. Apparently it's the only part of his body NESTS didn't tamper with.
--- 425703926
>>425703619
There was no reason to mention his seminal fluids. Are you trying to make everyone throw up or something?
--- 425705445

I like 96 Athena for the lack of pants
--- 425752681
>>425746827
Ans she wears red spats under that mini skirt, I like that version because is the only 2D KOF where you can see her butt like if she were naked in some sprites, in 97 you still can see it but not like in 96.
--- 425753065
>>425752681
I have a hard time playing 96. It feels like the inputs are a lot stricter.
--- 425753640
>>425753065
In fact KOF 96 is the hardest KOF to play in that aspect, the inputs must be exact, that's why KOF 97 is the opposite, inputs are so easy that you do moves without wanting to do them, that's one of the reasons China still plays it in tournaments, besides the prohibition of foreign consoles and other stuff being sold in China.
--- 425758161
>>425752681
Athena regularly wears spats/safety shorts/bloomers if she's wearing a dress.

Lie
--- 425842483
>>425836852
KOF development is hellish, we know that from every development story we have.
Even if they're reusing animations, they still have to take account to balancing like 30-50+ characters every entry, polishing each one and giving them some new stuff while still keeping ressources to go towards stages, visuals all while taking into account the small budgets they had last years, they probably crunch as hell to make these games. Especially considering many of the team are mostly either sprite artists who just started learning 3d with 14 or straight up newly recruited amateurs. 

Something like this is just not sustainable for current amateur filled snk, they'll rather work with something easier like 1v1 fighter with a smaller roster so they can dedicate their time and work towards other aspects of the game too like it actually looking up to standards and having real singleplayer content. Budget is probably not a problem for them anymore, but the development will still be way easier and healthier than KOF.
--- 425843746
>>425842483
>KOF development is hellish
Excuses for a mediocre developer. If they don't have the level of a triple AAA developer, they should at least sell their games at a lower price. KOF XV in its current state is not worth even 15 dollars
--- 425846065
>>425843746
You need to realize that even bigger devs like Capcom and Bandai aren't making 40+ rosters in current climate, with technology advancing games are getting more and more expensive to make especially with the huge focus on next gen only now, not only that but for fighting game devs focusing on more than one project at a time isn't sustainable (which is what snk is doing with their already less experienced devs and lower budgets). KoF's development has been known to be hard since the 90s but atleast back then the devs were experienced sprite artists who were working on something of their expertise, not to mention the team's were separate (KOF team is it's own, Garou was it's own...) unlike now. They cannot reuse sprites nor can they use cheap ps2 maximum impact 3d models nowadays, trying to deliver something of the caliber of KoF's big roster with modern ps4 onwards graphics all while using Chinese pocket money will essentially lead to many areas of the game being half assed no matter how hard you try with this current environment and situation and the devs know this, I recommend you watch ThorgisArcade'retrospectives for more details if you haven't it actually explains how hard the development of the game's has always been. Which is why they're going to shift focus on Garou in the next year as not only will the development be easier but now with a bigger budget they'll be able to pay more attention to other usually ignored aspects of their modern games,no actually they're ALREADY shifting their focus on that. Not only is XV filled with Garou stuff but they're already said they're considering a FF action RPG, not KOF but FF. It's clear it's what they want to be their focus franchise as they're probably planning on having it as THE snk series from now on and would have it compete with the likes of SF and such.
--- 425846273
>>425846065
I'm not trying to defend the game or say that I'm content with XV's broken matchmaking or lobbies or non existent content, and I do agree the game should definitely get a permanent price drop for it's state but it's clear as hell that the development of these games is just not realistic anymore, long gone the days of reusing neogeo sprites and asset flipping them. It's a modern era now, one that will be lead by Fatal Fury.

SvC Chaos was built on KOF assets so it's hardly anything to compare

Art of Fighting never really had a sense of identity to itself outside of "Fatal Fury's Prequel series" so it just kind of bit the dust. Especially with the earlier threads claiming AOF3/4 was just KOF97 which like goddamn that certainly explains why SNK hates AOF now

Well, gameplay-wise they could just play it relatively safe compared to their 3v3 series or multiple-lane series or weapon wielding series or whatever Fuu'un did.
If flashy gameplay gimmicks were requirement, they wouldn't make MotW. Though even then all they had to do is to make taunting more fluid and focus on meter shenanigans.

Recycled to hell. TBF that's par for the course for SNK & its other games. Recycling's in SNK's blood. When it finally wasn't development was so arduous it nearly killed SNK again, employees couldn't go home for a week at a time, yet it still came out flawed with dubious designs/several moves missing. It managed to dupe some to think XIII saved the company from pachi hell when SNK once said it was changing laws & mobile stuff like Metal Slug Defense. It even turned SNK away from 2D.
3/4 protags: tards, insufferable to talk to, try too hard to be cool.
Devs listed several things they wanna make, but said they still have to listen to the suits. What do the suits keep pushing for? KoF. KoF = corpo shill game of SNK.

SNK jokes about Kyo and Iori being homosexual, Kyo never gets chosen for crossovers.
KoF OCs that made it to other FGs? Iori in the million arthur arcade fg, Benimaru in xuandou xi wang, Kula in DoA.
Everything else Besides Hobomaru in Soul Calibur is Mai, Geese, Terry (3x) FF characters.
The devs that remain at SNK now? Fatal Fury devs.
Who is seen as the entire company's poster boy? Terry a FF character.
Smash? Billed as a crossover with Fatal Fury. There's KoF stuff in there, but that's cause Sakurai likes to throw in as much as he can, even asked for 50 songs thinking it wouldn't happen.
Who do annoying secondaries latch on to because their quotes are infectious or think they're cool? Terry, Geese, Rock. FF characters.
Obari, acclaimed animator that made a theatrical movie for SNK? Likes Fatal Fury.
Who does Arika keep doing videos for their FG's new mechanics w/? Terry a FF character.
Tekken? Geese (FF character) was chosen with a KoF gauge, but when asked who his favorite KoF characters for Tekken 8 would be he chooses Geese & Yamazaki FF characters.
The reason KoF was even made? Fatal Fury Special.

Yeah and Tekken 7 took longer to cook than the usual 2-2.5 years SNK has been doing for their own games. Also the release you mention was the home release which was 2 years after the initial arcade release which had 20.
--- 425887150
>>425876682
Street Fighter legit looks nothing special and Tekken 8 is a next gen title because it's for 9th gen consoles. All you do is make dumb fucking posts here and you wonder why no one takes anything you say seriously.
--- 425888206
>>425886657
doesn't matter, the console version hit at 36 and your company rushed out a slopdrop of a ps2 game and your fanbase is the first one that tries to play the numbers game over other companies
if you wanna play the numbers game then we can look at both evo japan and the upcoming numbers for evo usa
as well as current steam players as well as the (yet again) dwindling 30 day average especially compared to games that came out before it (strive, tekken 7, sfv) and the only thing you can say is "y-yeah, well our game plays better!!!" which is funny because almost noone is playing it except for a collection of marks fellating themselves and their favorite company and constantly making excuses for its shortcomings
all i said was you should hope tekken 8 doesn't come out with a launch roster of that amount, that's a purely hypothetical statement and it's somehow being treated like i wrote that into the cement
you are a lousy bunch of dffs reaching for ways that kofxv is somehow better than the other games and i couldn't care less whether you take me seriously or not because you're still responding to me with such defensive vitriol usually reserved for something more personal
you can keep going blah blah blah, i will just keep the wagon circling and you'll be helping that along

i'm pretty sure the proportion in players between games ain't that much far off
people aren't going to flock to ps4 just to prefer kofxv over another more popular game just to flip the votes here, it's not some red v blue district between steam and ps4
--- 425889298
>>425888206
NTA but lmao you got butt blasted just because someone pointed out that your hypothetical statement as unlikely because someone said Tekken usually doesn't do stuff like that and usually takes longer to develop than SNK games. No one even mentioned whether one played better than the other just that the devs take different approaches than the scenario you came up with in your head. Then you go on and bring out a different scenario involving tourney and stream numbers.

If I were you I'd take a break from places like this, they're clearly having an effect on you.
--- 425889403
>>425889265
The size proportion for PS4 dwarfs the PC player base. This has been seen throughout all fighting games in 8th gen.
--- 425889880
>>425889298
>hypothetical statement as unlikely
i never said it was likely either, i only suggested that it was possible
>takes longer to develop than SNK games
that's snk's fault in many senses, one of those being their inefficiency and incompetence like one of my coworkers who is dumb as a bat and drags more ass than a fat walmart shopper hanging her cellulite off the sides of her e-kart
>>425889403
i'm taking about a proportion across games, like for example strive has roughly 2.5k players while kofxv has 400 on steam right now, that's about 16%
if kofxv has 1k on ps4, that would suggest strive has a roundabout of 6k
most likely not true, but the gap in players is still going to be pretty wide of a distance
--- 425890256
>>425889880
>I'm taking about a proportion across games,
As am I. Also the amount of players being signed in is dubious at best. Tekken 7 for example maintained a high player ratio because Steam users were using bots to grind the single player content.

a department kofxv lacks
kind of funny they don't do that because of all the CONTENT (mp3s and jpegs) that kofxv offers for completing such a deep and engaging single player mode
oh yeah, and zoomer achievements for them snoys
--- 425891102
>>425890545
It still makes it pointless caring about Steam sign in numbers when they are so easily manipulated. I mean, does Strive require grinding single player content? If so I wouldn't be surprised it gets its inflated player numbers from that.
--- 425891679
>>425891102
we can trivialize the steam numbers with bot madness all we want but it's also reflected in tourney entrant numbers
now i can't speak on the numbers of our sudaca pals or chisneeze players but part of me is willing to believe the "free" kof games are probably pretty up there or even greater in entrant numbers than kofxv's, and probably all because buying hardware that'll run it is expensive there

Not really. Going to tournaments is expensive and if you've got a country that has a particular favorite game then that is going to have greater representation. I mean, Tekken for example its biggest demographic is in Europe. If what you say is true, then the biggest Tekken tournaments are in Europe, right?

--- 425892806
>>425889880
How is Tekken taking longer to develop SNK's fault. You talk about inefficiency and incompetence I'm assuming it's on SNK's part, given that they're not the ones taking longer. The shorter amount of dev time lends itself for more jank, but as mentioned the game that's taking longer to cook here be it so stuff gets better worked out here as stated from the start is Tekken yet here you're speaking like SNK is the one wasting time. What you're saying here doesn't match with what's being argued.
--- 425892993

To Tekken 8's credit, it's one of the first Unreal 5 games coming out. In fact, it will be the first UE5 fighting game.

snk rushed out a product that looks like it took half the time than they actually spent on it just to try and compete with games out at least a year before it, or years with sfv without thinking ahead and actually putting a longer amount of time to make sure the final product was actually worth the money a common consumer would spend on it
>>425893057
yes, because the ps4 alone is not cheap
like if i could go by this https://www.livemint.com/Consumer/B5vnEAcxWJyjeCJ1T3YiDI/Pricey-PS4-The-most-expensive-countries-to-buy-a-PlayStatio.html
and read into the idea that brazil is not an outlier in its own continent, that speaks volumes
even in the usa though, a new one is about 300 dollars
which is not super expensive to the typical american but to those who "can't afford to go to a tournament" may have issues, and that includes local tournaments apparently
--- 425893774

I wouldn't even scale it back that much. $40 with Season 1 being one character Pass instead of two would've been fine enough by me.

--- 425893876

you mean the same excuses about how expensive it is to go to a tournament? i'm not even talking about evo (or majors) specifically right here, those were just significant examples, but the locals, ranbats, whatever, also show that kofxv is not the bigger game out there compared to its "contemporaries" if i could even frame them like that
--- 425895315
>>425894631
>you mean the same excuses about how expensive it is to go to a tournament?
Tournaments are expensive to go to because the costs appreciate, unlike old hardware that becomes more abundant as time goes on and thus depreciates like a car.

>>425894631
>i'm not even talking about evo (or majors) specifically right here, those were just significant examples, but the locals, ranbats, whatever, also show that kofxv is not the bigger game out there compared to its "contemporaries" if i could even frame them like that
How would you know small tournaments don't happen? Fighting game tournaments are not always announced to the world. Why would they be if the player base is only local like an arcade tournament. I don't even know why you made this argument.
--- 425895660
>>425895315
announcing an event online must be too expensive too
despite that other games do so
i mean who could forget norcal ranbats weeklies back in the kofxiii days on stream despite it being a local event, and that was a smaller turnout than other events of said game

I don't know where you're getting a $1 price tag for the DLC since that's actively wrong. Even then, $5 isn't that bad but it's something that adds up after a while and eventually you're paying more for DLC than even the base game. I just suggest that to make the game more enticing to people on the fence who don't know what an SNK is to just lower the base price so Steam Sales

If you're going to say that I'm treating KOF unfairly, its character passes still honestly look better than Strive's at the moment

If we're talking base game, then maybe the DLC shouldn't be like buying another game entirely since apparently it costs less than $2 to make a character. Personally I'd like if there was a little more to do outside of the arcade ladder, online and trials for the game's price but that's not an issue when Sales are involved.

I'm not saying add a visual novel for a story mode since honestly going through all of those in other fighting games has been some of the most boring and exhausting shit I've sat through grinding to get as my single player content. Maybe at least include a few more higher production value cutscenes. Or include some bios for the characters like the Samurai Shodown Collection so people can be caught up on the characters and their story roles. DJ Station surprisingly also is fun to mess around and edit with

Anon, that's standard practice for DLC and is practiced by all these companies. Can't solely blame SNK for that.

It's not like I disagree with you on that point though, and it's a shame SNK adopted its current policies as opposed to the DLC policy they had with XIV which was we'll see how demand goes instead of adding it off the bat. Personally I blame the fact that there always needs to be some sort of hype train thus turning games into a service.

As for your other points that would be nice to have stuff to do on the side. Since we were talking about Tekken before early Tekken games were a good example of how to put in extra content. To be fair XIV had the gallery stuff and XV the DJ station like you said, but I've seen people complain about having to unlock it or having to figure out the right character combination to do so. I remember even some early XIV tournaments not even having Verse and Antonov unlocked even though all it took was beating story mode once. It's just not conducive to the current environment people want to flock to today. Even in the stand alone home releases of metal slug games they hand galleries, the combat school and extra mini missions.

I disagree with that anon about reading the manga that's a cop-out answer and it's another product you have to buy if you're reading it legit. As is I think XV is fine, but the next game should have more.
I was able to defend XIV before because shit budget, it being their first game in a while and having to do everything from scratch even the engine, but now they have a bit more freedom and they have a bit more experience so I feel the bar should be a bit higher, so yes I'd like them to pack some more stuff in but at the same time I'm not gonna hold them to the same standard as other that have many more times the resources or spend much more time with their game clocking. It's somewhere in between if that makes sense, now if their stuff comes with flaws they should be held accountable for it.

I'm mostly hoping Garou fixes these issues with a genuine story mode. I can understand the streamlining since this is more or less the same as every other KOF to date, but if they're gonna hype up Garou then it better be a genuinely banger game.

--- 425919476
For all its faults, I really like how much Real Bout 1 stresses situational awareness just through ring outs alone, and then how the game is designed around them. Compromising your combos or not doing certain moves so you don't ring yourself out is one thing, but then the game has this profound effect where once the wall is broken and you're cornered, any jump-in, low or plane check is enough to do you in, even (especially) if it's just a light sometimes. There really isn't much like that in any other 2D fighter, and it's especially groundbreaking for Fatal Fury where mixups usually aren't that scary otherwise.
I say this because I just wasted hours looking for a match in RB2, then immediately got one for RB1 the second I opened its lobby. I really just wanted to mash specials as a fat Asian businessman this morning, but there you go.

Historically as far as dev time is concerned and if interviews are anything to go by development on the new game starts around the time the first season of DLC is mostly done on the current one. Exception being SNKH which was started before Love Heart's IP was sold in 2016.
They mentioned SamSho was started around the time season 1 of XIV (I think it was Mary) was almost done in an interview from ages ago, going by how XV was announced and the timeline of events and statements to not expect it in TGS that year because it was too early in development, XV couldn't have started development before April of that year.

Also given how they outright said that the new FF was barely greenlit when it was announced when XV was at evo, the main development of XV was released long before that and Season 1 was well underway it can only mean that no devs were not pulled from XV's development since the main game was already finished. They only did what they usually do, move most everyone to new projects while a select few focus on putting out DLC.

not a fan of this patch desu, like yea great kula got properly nerfed but krohnen and jenet stayed at the top and now we have to deal with kyo iori k' and shermie(who i believe should be in A not A-) being over-privileged fucks as well
the tier gaps have shortened but it hardly matters to me when 3/4 of people are picking the top 8 or so characters. sure ralf and terry were genuinely too good but i'd rather have them be top tier than almost every character above b+ on this list

tldr the cast of top tiers has gotten progressively worse even if overall balance has improved

>>425658991
agreed, both because i believe tier lists should always inherently have at least a c tier and because this game specifically is not at the point of all characters being considered that close together imo. in fact, i don't think there is any game that fits that criteria
--- 425929783

but Kyo's midscreen damage falls off past 0.5 bar, 1 bar midscreen needs manually timed 236C juggle, and his corner optimal combo is hard as balls needing double orochinagi loop.

--- 425970458
>>425969971
The whole point of the interaction is that Tung named Jeff the successor of Hakkyokuseiken because he recognized the darkness in Geese's heart (Cheng was also rejected, but his is much milder in comparison). In classic "spurned student lashes out in revenge" fashion, Geese took it personally and killed Jeff (as opposed to Tung, as the trope normally goes).

--- 425976450
>>425975903
Hakkyoukuseiken scroll isn't the Jin Scrolls my man, it was just the ultimate technique of the school. Jin Scrolls were something Geese found much later to give Fatal Fury 3 a plot and justify why Geese came back to life after FF2
--- 425977227
>>425976450
Plus, it's not like Tung can just un-train Geese. You're essentially asking Tung to throw out Geese the day he shows up, which is unreasonable for the purposes of our story. It's on Geese for acting out and lashing out at Jeff when Tung didn't name him the successor.

it's far from perfect but it has better balance than most kof games. i absolutely prefer XV's current top tier to XIII's Team DLC or 02UM's K'/Kasumi/Nameless utterly dominating everywhere all the time.

i feel the opposite. everyone in the attached tier list at C or below are so severely lacking in tools/reward/etc that you'd be killing yourself to pick them in competition. 
in the current state of XV, there's only a handful of characters i feel are similarly weak compared to the rest of the cast (ramon and maxima come to mind). but even those stinkers are vastly more well equipped than they are in 02um.

You certainly can't untrain someone, but you can destroy his ki centers or whatever it's called. I've seen it happen in anime, unfortunately not sure which, but it would be like cutting a person's tendons, just on the level of controlling energy, which is really all that Tung's technique is about. It would leave Geese alive, but not being able to do anything except very basic level martial arts.

The big thing with AI is that it doesn't draw. Since it's digital, we can also say it doesn't use layers like every other art program. It can only place pixels after examining previous art. It doesn't understand why that line has to be there, it just knows it's where everyone elses is, so it'll copy it. Because AI can't 'think', it can not understand art like a human can. But humans understand how easy it is to exploit it, because there's people with low enough standards to buy into it.
Also most AI bros are ex-crypto bros so it explains a lot.

My nigga it ties into the fact they aren't popular. If they can be brought back for Team Yagami as ghosts it doesn't matter if they're back

--- 426122006
>>426121773
You know the reason they came back in XIII was just due to recycling sprites right? They weren't even intended to be in the last Ash Saga game, they only got brought in cause they could headswap the model to trace sprites. You got me why the fuck they came back in XIV. XIV had a bad habit of just doing the bare basic teams without giving a shit. Iori's ending in that game was practically the same as his XIII ending

So really the reasoning is less lore reasons and more "SNK struggled to make games for a decade so they just lazily brought back characters to give Iori a Team

>You know the reason they came back in XIII was just due to recycling sprites right?
Didn't have to with the way they handled KOF12. After that obligation was met they followed up with more characters in KOF13.
--- 426122503
>>426122246
KOFXIII is where characters like Vice and Hwa Jai were added, not XII. The decision to recycle sprites was made as soon as Ikari Warriors got their redesigns. So instead of a Dream Match they just come back as ghosts to give Iori a Team even if we could've just had a single entry Iori again or lord forbid fucking Adelheid actually getting real closure
--- 426123216
>>426122026
The lore reason is Orochi fuckery. SNK's not gonna expand on this at all, Vice and Mature are like filler characters.
>>426122113
Bazinga
>>426122197
Vice and Mature are old hags though.
>>426122006
They were added because Oswald was too complicated to make an HD sprite for. It's kind of funny since Vice and Mature were added to 96 relatively late into its development to give Iori teammates.
--- 426123415
>>426122503
>KOFXIII is where characters like Vice and Hwa Jai were added, not XII.
SNK were obligated to release KOF12 at the release date window. If they weren't, then KOF13 wouldn't be the Ash Saga.

>>426123216
>The lore reason is Orochi fuckery.
No shit Sherlock, that isn't the question I'm asking.
--- 426123581
>>426123415
Since they came back as ghosts, they weren't part of Verse, which means they weren't revived when it died. There you go.

--- 426125205
>>426124614
Honestly if you really want an answer, it's probably the fact that now SNK doesn't feel obligated to ever include Mature/Vice in any base game rosters anymore unless people REALLY ask for them which isn't going to happen
--- 426125547
>>426120853
They both are weird since they somehow are different to every other member of the Hakkesshu in that their spirits can just haunt Iori to the point they can also use their powers of light and dark to create shadow bodies. Nothing states why they weren't trapped in Verse like the rest either. 
The main reason for this inconsistency is KOF 13, and the devs realizing they could just head swap the model for them so they threw out the idea of Iori's team being Oswald and a new character. Same reason Hwa Jai came back, a character no one gave a shit about, because he was a head swap of Joe.

>>426125547
I think the problem with Mature and Vice is that they’re too similar and nothing is ever elaborated about them. They’re both evil Orochi assassins and that’s all we know other than flavor text in their profiles like Vice liking comic books.
--- 426128262
mature dreams of settling down and marrying before she gets too ghostold and vice wants to get back into reading comic books she's missed out on
that's why they're not fighting
--- 426128570
>>426127365
They have similar outfits but there is plenty of differences between then, especially gameplay wise. But yes their main problem is that they aren't really developed and are basically Iori filler after 96.
02 brought them back because Iori had no real team in the NESTS saga (He had to tag with the Agents in 01), 03 and XI were 3ST related, and with the games after, they're again Iori filler when he's not doing 3ST things.
But at the same time, SNK won't actually try to make Iori a new team for non-3ST scenarios baring the attempt during XII/XIII's development before they went back to V&M. 
But now that Vice and Mature are the Iori team filler, that's all they can be and what people expect since they only know the two as 'Iori's teammates'. 
They *could* go with Rugal to form a team now, but that doesn't seem to be in the characters' interests and also bring us back to "Iori doesn't have anyone else but the 3ST".
As someone else has said, they're basically like Goro where he can only really be on Kyo's team because they never have tried to do anything else with him, and the expectation is too set in stone for him *not* to be in Kyo's team.
--- 426131690
>>426128570
The question now is whether or not they'll keep the Sacred Treasures Team.
--- 426132436
>>426131690
That's the thing, unless they continually force the team together because CYS/Goenitz are back, I can't seem them being a team going forward, their drive working together is stopping Orochi stuff. 
Chizuru literally does not compete unless it's involved, and Kyo and Iori only work together when it's 3ST matters, otherwise they'd prefer to fight each other. 
If they still do the 3ST route, then Beni, Goro and Shingo could be a team like in 03, but knowing SNK they'll put Beni on the new hero team again and Goro and Shingo would be questionable.
--- 426133786
>>426132436
Doesn't seem to me that SNK needs strong reasons to bring back teams anymore.
--- 426134227
Have you guys ever noticed how pointy Isla's chin is?
--- 426134396
>>426133786
so they could go to actually live up to the namesake of king (no plural) of fighters and not kings of fighters and have story mode be 1v1, while they keep the 3v3 standard gameplay vs mode for competitive players
so characters don't have to pad another character's team or take up another character's slot by being on another's team
i mean afterall, there's apparently a singles bracket
--- 426134858
>>426134396
Now that you brought it up, why do these games have teams?
--- 426135051
>>426134858
>why does the original team fighter franchise have teams??
--- 426135105
>>426133786
This is true, at the end of the day SNK can just say "Hey these guys are a team now" and we can't argue with that. Like, that's literally Team Krohnen, they make Kula pissed at K' for a dumb reason along with getting 'kidnapped' by Mr Four Nine and Angel, who hate her to begin with, then they just work as a team because sure.
While this at least shows how much Krohnen has changed since 01 and also how Kula can recognize said change, it's certainly convoluted to get there. Character relationships are still a factor, and if you're going to put characters that don't like each other on the same team you have to be sure the reason is good.
>>426134858
To set them apart from the other games SNK and others have made. Also likely so Terry, Andy and Joe could all work together.

the original one, 94, set that up and to me, it looks like it was inspired by fatal fury 1's setup and it grew from there, which would be a lie because i've also read that the game idea came first and fatal fury being in there came as an afterthought
--- 426136149

Seeing shit like this really makes me feel like Street Fighter should have dropped 6 button gameplay for 4 button gameplay years ago. It just never worked
--- 426205240

That would cause enormous outrage considering 6 buttons is core to the series. Even when it used pressure sensitive buttons, the punch and kick button both had three versions of those attacks.
--- 426205663
>>426204838
it pretty much validates what i had been saying before about people talking about how sf has less characters at the start
for which i said "for better or worse" everytime and also said "though i think they should have recycled"
--- 426206016
>>426205240
It just doesn't feel like it aged well at all. Especially since gamepad has to cram that shit onto triggers for you to be able to do all the moves or even back then needing to sell you a completely different Genesis controller just to play SF. The franchise isn't even that in-depth to justify sticking to such an archaic design choice that's really more of a product of Arcade Cabinets being able to be experimental with controls vs. having a more unified set up we do nowadays

It's especially noticeable if they're going to have a new newbie mode that's just LMH+Special for the four face buttons
--- 426206801
>>426204945
>It just never worked
I don't know anon, SF have always outsold KOF copies upon release. Maybe the problem is you and your brain that are not able to use more than 4 buttons.

--- 426209310
>>426208329
Anon, they're pressure sensitive buttons, there are three punch types in the punch button and three kick types in the kick button. They were replaced with six buttons because the pressure sensitive ones were always malfunctioning and then there were people who were standing on the machine stamping on the buttons.

>I've seen it happen in anime, unfortunately not sure which, but it would be like cutting a person's tendons, just on the level of controlling energy, which is really all that Tung's technique is about.

I believe you have Fist of the North Star in mind where Hokuto Shinken students who fail to become successor (there can only be one successor to Hokuto Shinken), the practioner/s who failed has/have their memories erased or arms destroyed.

Keeping this on-topic, yes, Tung should have done something after making Jeff Bogard his successor. He banned Cheng Sinzan but that didn't seem to be of concern as Cheng was booted out BEFORE Tung had to choose a successor.
--- 426210737

Never will. People were saying that shit about the multi billion chinese company that bought them and its owner who was a supposed huge SNK fan and they never gave them shit. During that time anything that came from them was funded by whatever the mobile games and licensing brought in. If that were the case they could've had better budgets for shit, if not that used the funds to hire more devs sooner, but that never happened, they expanded as they went along at a steady pace showing there were no funds coming out of SNK proper.
Being owned by saudis isn't gonna change shit either. It's why I never bought into the hype or doom about it. They won't do shit to help SNK grow besides whatever they might be able to get from earnings or investment since they're publically traded now.

I mean, I rarely, if ever, see ASW games that *aren't* fighters. The closest are the River City Girls games, but those are only published by them, they're more Wayforward games.

Except with the Saudi deal, they literally signed off to become an AAA company in 10 years and even the prince himself said that he wishes to get SNK as big as it was, I can link the source if you want.

Also they've already started expanding, having multiple branches and mass hiring people. They've clearly started on it.
--- 426261826
>>426261620
Well, for a company that claims to be AAA, they have shown themselves to be more than incompetent. I have no faith in them and I wouldn't be surprised if they fail again even with Saudi money.

Old school SNK and Irem game developers who worked on R-Type and Metal Slug are (sorta) coming out of retirement.

https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/04/the-artist-behind-r-type-and-metal-slug-might-be-working-with-pixels-again-at-the-age-of-60

--- 426266104
>>426265204
yeah but to do what
--- 426266826
>>426266104
Isn't it obvious with the games I just highlighted.
--- 426268107
>>426266826
the articles do not say a damn thing about what he specifically intends to do and just because he worked on games does not mean he is going back to snk to make a sequel's sequel to an rtype knockoff
he probably doesn't want to get muddied by a bunch of corporate bureaucratic bullshit at his age
--- 426269715
>>426268107
Hence why I said "sorta". If you're into SNK games like Metal Slug or Irem games like R-Type, spiritual successors could be on the way. The speculation isn't even baseless, that new shmup I listed is being developed by old Sega employees. Why this resurgence for developing on the Megadrive? Because it has recently got a fantastic game engine called SGDK, hence why the likes of SNK games such as Fatal Fury 2 and Metal Slug are being ported over to the Megadrive.

Anon I believe you got sauce, so I trust you on that. I'm not trying to bash SNK here I'm just saying that whoever buys them be it the chinese or the saudis have said the same thing. Back then when SNK was bought by the chinese, before the time of XIV there were already talks about them wanting to be a AAA company. Also when they were bought out by the chinese there were articles where they said they wanted to expand SNK's IPs into multimedia franchises no just including games, but movies and shows as well. I suppose Destiny was made but besides that not much else. Everything

As for the Expansion it has been happening before they were bought by the saudis. The chinese branch was opened up years ago, a good while before even that initial XIV tournament/league they did in 2017ish. As for employees they have been slowly expanding and hiring more since XIV was made. The Tokyo branch had also existed before the saudis were involved at the time and before they hired those other devs they handled the business side of thing, even the girl that used to handle the Enta-chan account mentioned working there and not having worked at the Osaka branch. The korean branch opened before they got listed in the Korean stock exchange well before the initial IPO. Prior to this the mobile games and their licensing business was the major backbone of what raked in their money. There's been articles how with each year it multiplied their earnings compared to before. There was even discussion about that and translations of their past financial reports that even got posted here.

When I tell you that the saudis won't do shit is not because I'm telling you SNK will fail like some doomed but because all the shit that was said about expansion and such has already been happening before the saudis were even involved, the chinese didn't do anything either. Any expansion has mostly been because of the work and efforts SNK put in on their own, not some external entity that owns them.

Based and truthful. I've seen all this shit happen before with other companies, and can tell mistakes, lies, and incompetence when I see it. SNK do not have the basic direction to pull it off, and Saudi AAA money is a meme.

Kinda not what I was saying. Incompetent or not I was saying that any advances they made was through their own ventures regardless of who owned them and despite their owners supposedly having infinite money they didn't get to see much if any of it. But yes I agree that saudi money is a meme.

I honestly don't mind Kensou's new hair, since he still looks like Kensou, unlike XIV Kyo. What I want is his XI idle back, I hate the XIII one.

XI variants of the characters are some of my favorite and it's a goddamn shame all that shit got dropped for braindead streamlining that makes the characters feel less fun to learn. Not every character needs to be Angel but certain characters end up not as useful when they're lacking utility

You guys think they're gonna have the guts to all in on MILF Mai in the new Garou? I hope they do, just go ahead and confirm that she married Andy and they had a kid, and actually draw her looking slightly older. Aging up female characters is always such a taboo in Japanese media, but this isn't a permanent commitment since the young version will continue to exist in KOF, and having an official MILF design will probably just make her even more popular if anything.
--- 426476317
>>426475285
I hope she's like this if she is in the new Garou.
--- 426476362
>>426475285
It's odd because we're really in an era where milf characters are high in demand. Komi and Uzaki's moms almost rival if not outrank their daughters in content and I feel like neglecting that market with Mai of all characters would be really boneheaded. Confirming Andy, Joe and Billy are back is good and all but I think most of the fanbase are curious about if Mai and Kim will come back for Garou given they're about as much of FF mascots as Terry is

Hokutomaru being some forest shota that Andy picked up honestly never really sat right with me. It feels like SNK just never wanted to give Andy any respect

I was watching my boy Mark play Metal Slug 3 in a 1cc run, and there's a bit where suddenly he changes characters. What happened there, what did I miss?

Your character gets abducted by aliens so you play with another for a few stages until you free your original character

What about the moms in Tomo-chan is a Girl?
--- 426493306
>>426488141
They are all Kim, be specific.
Personally I think that it will likely be all three of them, but if I had to choose one it still would be Kaphwan for interactions with OG cast, like Hon-Fu.
--- 426493867
>>426493306
IIRC, Dong plays the least like his dad. So, there's that.
--- 426493873
>>426492869
If it were me I simply wouldn't get abducted but I'm built different
--- 426494075
>>426493306
That's assuming Hon-Fu's going to be in the new one.

If he somehow won't get into the main roster, he would absolutely get in DLC.

I don't want Kaphwan at all. He's got KOF, something his sons won't ever have.

This literally just skill issue

What's the DEAL with Uruguay? Would it be better and more sovlfvl than my shitty rural Australian town?
--- 426496216
>>426495505
Honestly the fact that Rock Howard is still the protag and this game is trying to revive true Fatal Fury by still moving forward while simultaneously reinventing the past elements that got cut from Garou is something I could commend them on. As much as I'd like to say the Fatal Fury cast are kept alive by KOF, that's only really moveset wise. They've been unimportant NPCs since 2000, if that
--- 426496398
>>426495505
Too bad, he's one of the core FF characters. None of the MotW kids matter really.
--- 426497019
>>426496216
We'll have to wait and see if we get any of the unused Garou 2 characters. I hope they get a second chance at life, I think the XII character story for Joe actually references his protege that was going to be in that, but with Joe back and undamaged I don't know her chances. Personally I'd also wish to see Mr. Karate II, and my NEVER EVER is also seeing Gai Tendo back since his game is in the same time frame as Garou.
>>426496398
Too bad, Kim's kids need their time to shine again.
--- 426497376
>>426496398
To be fair KOF is literally the only reason Kim is as big of a FF staple as he is. Dude even got cut in FF3 which probably makes him the only KOF94 Fatal Fury character to be cut pre-Garou. It's also where most of his master-apprentice lineage happens since his proteges and master were introduced in KOF

>>426497019
Yeah I was humoring the idea of Gai Tendo appearing in Garou too, though I kind of want him for KOF DLC honestly
--- 426497981
>>426494972
>there are people that think Metal slug 1 is kusoge
--- 426498345
Can you imagine if Kim wasn't DLC and he wasn't in the new Garou?
--- 426498537
>>426497376
I mean, same, I also want Fu'un characters back in KOF, most are really neat.
--- 426500003
>>426497376
Yeah, in '95 the other returning Fatal Fury characters got new voice clips from FF3 (Including Andy and Joe getting their anime voice actors), while Kim still had Fatal Fury Special voice clips.
--- 426500189
>>426498537
Speaking of Fu'un I noticed an oversight. It's supposed to be set sometime in the first half of the 21st century IIRC. Chung Paifu got his hat from the Legendary hungry wolf, so Terry, but if you place the game at the latest it can be (2050) Chung still ends up being 3 years older than Terry if I'm not mistaken.

There's that theory about him being Rock, but Rock's a bit young. Since Fu'un came out in 95 all of that is most likely an oversight sight they didn't have all of FF and MotW planned out yet.
--- 426500497
>>426500189
Yeah Fu'un is weird timeline wise. Hell, Savage Reign and Kizuna Encounter are one year apart but suddenly the world is now post apocalyptic.
--- 426500710
>>426497981
It's just one twitter inhabiting zoomer faggot
--- 426501407
>>426500497
Yeah, with it being what remains of Southtown I guess some shit happens along the way. I suppose both issues can be fixed if they just say it takes place sometime in the 21st century rather than just the first half.
--- 426502179
Considering that an old man got his hat from Terry "many years ago" in Fu'un, i guess that Terry must be dead by then...that's sad to think about
--- 426502636
>>426502179
Yeah, but if you take the inconsistency into account he could still be alive since he'd turn out to be 3 years younger than the old man. or maybe he IS the old man.

>>426496398
That's not really true though. It has always seemed to me that his sons were well received by the fans. Of course a staple character will always be missed but he wasn't missed quite as much as Mai or Joe, who weren't given any successors to even try to fill their shoes.
--- 426528236
>>426527362
It's not just Kim's kids, the way he wrote it implies most of the Garou cast.
--- 426534931
>>426467041
Neat. I hope he shares more. Seeing stuff like that is always cool.
Is it just me or is that more likes/retweets KoF related stuff usually gets?
--- 426536909
>>426502179
>>426502636
According to the old man, he got the legendary wolf's cap when he was very young. His age in Savage Reign is 70. If he got the cap in the 90's between the events of FF1 to RBFF, this would put Savage Reign and Kizuna Encounter to take place around the late 2070's to early 2080's.
--- 426538168
>>426536909
Yes, that would be the correct timeline hence it supposedly taking place in the first half of the 21st century being the aforementioned inconsistency.
