Hot damn, that's hype action. I gushed at Robert's special.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ranked Matches are exclusive to 360 whereas "Clan" mode (no other dtails known) is exclusive to PS3.

Waht?

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, weird. I would have liked a clan mode for 360 if it's gonna be what I think it is (group ranked ladder).

[Kalyx triaD]

And Joe's a fuckin animal here. My bro's gonna be a problem with him.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

WTF, Terry looks huge

EDIT: And Andy. Looks like they started the Bogard Family Roid business

[#BROKEN Hasney]

There also needs to be a new CvS game, developed by Capcom but using this GFX engine. This is so crazy sexy.

[Khuntry]

Im lovin the audience in the background in that second fight, gets me pumped up.

[Khuntry]

No 'K ? {sad face}

[Super V]

Terrible. Update hardware.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

If that's a dig at the GFX then whatever type of crack you're smoking must be rotting your brain. That's beautiful. Puts SSF2THD to shame.

[road doggy dogg]

Fighting games generally bore the living piss out of me, but at least this one looks pretty.

Yeah, that tease a few weeks ago was mean.

Boring to watch or boring to play? I breathe fighting games.

What? That puts this to shame?

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes, it very fucking does.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

My eyes tell me yes, yes it does.

[road doggy dogg]

That was like the most unimpressive video on Youtube ever.

Are you fucking serious..?

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes, I believe he is. I think he's not familiar with how KoF moves.

[Funky Fly]

KoF has killer animation. Like ridiculous for the level of graphics over the years. This year the art might actually match the animation.

[Taft]

I agree.

Also, lololol.


This is going to be so much more cash than SFII:HDRemix

[Super V]

Graphics still look weird to me for some reason. But I've always loved SNK. Stoked for this one.

[Kalyx triaD]

I hope it has color edit.

[Funky Fly]

Any word on when that fucked up KoF shooter drops?

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm in no way, shape, or form interested in that game. I forgot until you mentioned it.

[Khuntry]

EPIC.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes.

[Super V]

Is there a solid release date for this?

[Super V]

Not liking Athena's design for this game... They shoulda went closer with her 98 design. Her current look makes me think of SVC Chaos.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's classic Athena, sir.

[thecc]

Getting this on Friday. :D

[Kalyx triaD]

That's mighty.

[thecc]

Enjoying this so far. Gonna try online when I get home from work.

[Kalyx triaD]

Lucky punk.

[Funky Fly]

FUCKING NO CANADIAN RELEASE AGAIN! EWRIUHRIUWEH IUEHRVBKWEB :mad:

[Kalyx triaD]

Blame Canada.

[Funky Fly]

ok nm, Walmart, of all places, will have it.

[Super V]

It's pretty meh/ok. Not better than 2003 to me. A lot of the characters are way too simplfied (ESPECIALLY Ralf, who I use a lot).

[Kalyx triaD]

I'll have to play it myself.

[Funky Fly]

It doesn't have the greatest reviews (http://www.metacritic.com/search/process?sort=relevance&termType=all&ts=king+of+fighters+xii&ty=0) right now.

I'll probably hold off until the price drops.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's been historical fact that most reviews for fighting games are off the mark. I just need to test drive the baby.

[Super V]

Never mind what I said above, after having a rotating session of this game with some peeps I realized it's madd fun as you get used to the characters movesets. The critical counter system is also real smooth and works like riding a bike, as soon as you hit your first counter into combo you'll be able to hit it almost all the time. Plus all those little touches added (like what happens when 2 moves collide into each other and cancel out) just make the game that much cooler. Only small beef I have with it is SNK running out of funding and being unable to animate Benimaru's Shinku Katategoma (Break Dance of Pain) special move and omitting it.

[Funky Fly]

They ran out of money making this? Lame. No wonder the roster's a little thin this year.

[Boomer]

Maybe its my SF4 homerism and my lack of experience ever playing KOF, but the game just doesn't look to play as exciting as SF to me. Even SSF2T seems more epic to me.

The visuals are great though.

[Kalyx triaD]

I gotta be honest, KoF's engine is often more exciting on a hype level than SF. It's more kinetic with the active ukemis and such.

[Khuntry]

Totally Agree. When it gets crunk it fucking gets CRUNK. :yes:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'm loving this game, the time attack focus is interesting.

Anyone got the complete the game in 3:30 achievement yet? :p

[Super V]

You did? How and with who? That emoticon after the question makes it seem like you did.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh no, that emoticon is more like I doubt any of us probably will get it
