Why does Capcom make this shit look so hard?

Capcom thinks that the name alone can save a broken game. Seems like they were not so wrong
Maybe I shoudl open another Yea Forums KoF room today on PC. Last one was really fun.
Until that mexican came in and started raping everyone.
>>Updated graphics when people complained.
Gonna need a source or patch notes chief.
I bought this game but never played any KOF game before. What should I learn to do first?
What? It was a huge deal at the time. How could you have missed it?
learn about the different jumps
>hop
>regular
>long jump
surprised brapposting hasn't started yet
>never played fighting games in my life
>bought kofxiii because the sprites looked fantastic
man I wish I wasn't retarded
Also dead on arrival lmao
Was that prerelease? Kinda hard to say it counts if the game was still being developed.
Yuri's big ass better look great on KOF XV
No. It was after a few months
Looked it up. It was patch 1.10.
They upgraded the graphics from terrible to presentable. Wish they'd give it another round because the character's new faces look so slovenly. They could make it look more like the 2D art.
quite pungent my dear
looks like garbage
runs like garbage
lol autocombos
>>>Updated graphics when people complained.
>Gonna need a source or patch notes chief.
Remember old andy, just look how the updated him before the game was released.
It is insane but this game looks better than SFV
More important question.
When the fuck is kof xv coming out?
It's been 3 years and this time we deserve a proper kof game without budget issues
Because Yoshinori Ono is a retard and man baby who has been a fucking blight on Capcom fighting games since roughly 2008.
Do you think we'd all play the power rangers game if it went free to play?
It unironically looks pretty cool
A friend of mine seems to really like it. I might try it.
How does this compare to Guilty and Melty?
It doesn't even compare to both
I thought they already announced XV and said its coming out in 2020
Heh, butt
that was my first fighting game too back when it came out on steam and it was one hell of a way to start. my thumb was not ready for those double quarter circle back motions
*double half circle motions
>not using Arc's 2.5D technique
they better bring back Rugal for KOF XV
Guilty and Melty don't even compare to each other well. Like, they both play extremely differently.
>SamSho
>launched with a base roster of 20
>No story mode
SNK fucks up too
They're the only fighters I play
Hopes and dreams for kof 15?
It's a more traditional fighting game than either of those.
It's kind of like street fighter except you have 4 different types of jumps, runs instead of dashes, invincible rolls, and chain combos instead of links.
If it weren't for the graphics XIV would have been a hit, I'm hoping XV can change that as everything else is going well for the series and SNK. Hope they will bring back most of the cast, I want Yamazaki again.
XIII is kinda dumb, try 98 as the combos are short
and you forgot the poor netcode makes it unplayable
Does anyone even play KoF 97 Global Match?
>Used success and momentum to make even more fighting games.
Was KoF15 really successful? I don't remember anyone talking about it, and it isn't even supported on the big fighting tournies.
>Updated graphics when people complained.
Ah... the classic "it looks better and better with every new trailer". I always thought DCucks were an unique specimen until that point.
chineses
XIV was despite not being a huge hit. Way cheaper to produce, XIII cost too much
the game had a lighting update months after it came out
As long as they keep Vanessa and Blue Mary in the roster un good. Also a Metal Slug Team
>Max Mode isn't as important for shit
>Use XIV's models as a base but tweak a lot of stuff
>Redesign Shun'ei's outfit
>Keep most of 14's cast
>SamSho team
>Good netcode
>Sylvie Paula Paula on the box
>Marketing as good as SamSho
The big cast could be a real factor. Everyone will be moaning about GBV's 11, so coming in hot with 40-50 really makes the game stand out
I was down to give it a chance until I found out the roster was really fucking barebones and like 75% MMPRwank
I dunno I'm a sentaifag not a PRfag but I'm more than willing to play along as long as they give me literally anything besides the same nostalgia pandering I always see. Put one of those Beast Morphers guys in to promote the new show, or maybe the Red Samurai ranger for more female characters I don't know.
I want to feed Kula some Ice Cream
>There's a character called K
I have been playing 98 on switch and kind of want to get the new one but I hear fighting games have a shit player base on pc, any chance of a switch port soon?
>E. Honda still not playable in SF5
Hoooo Boy, what a garbage fire.
K', the ' don't be silent
No there isn't. it's K- you retard and remember that the - don't be silent
i'll play if you do, i haven't played kof in a long time go so i'll forget most of everything
XIV won't be now, game is past its prime if it even really had one. But XV will probably be ported eventually, like SamSho is getting a delayed release.
>>Launched with a story mode.
KoF XIV has a story mode?
>>Updated graphics when people complained.
Maybe they did but the game still looks ugly. I'll take a tighter roster with more visual work done on it than a massive roster that looks like an early PS3 game.
kof has never looked as anime as guilty gear, we've been over this user
only KOF I've ever played was XI back in high school but I fucking loved that game. I've never been good at fighting games or anything but I'd suck a coupla dicks for a modern port with online. Even if I'd just get bodied by everyone I just wanna play it again.
still shit, that's not an update.
That's not kyo, this is Kyo.
>no max mode
>plays closer to 98
>keeps a decent amount of the newer characters from 14
>bring back more old favorites like duck king
>kukuri being twice as edgy
It's like KOF XI.
>bring shingo and rugal back as single entrants
>boomer team with oswald, jubei yamada and saisyu kusanagi
>garou team with kain, grant and a third one (maybe rock?)
>another fatal fury team with rick strowd, franco bash and duck king
Cool.
I feel like it launched early to not get ass raped by Mortal Kombat which came out a month later.
They have a season pass but they promised to add levels and characters in free updates now and again. I'm personally waiting for it to go free 2 play. If it ever does. It would be cool as fuck. And they could still make money off of that fortnite battle pass shit for cosmetics
Rugal is alive again, so is Igniz
On account of Verse releasing all their souls, does that mean Krizalid, Rugal, Igniz, Gaidel & Mizuki ( from SamSho ) will all be in KoF XV?
It actually is pretty cool. I like to watch all the dev break downs because they tell you exactly what they were going for with each character, what archetype they're meant to be, and even how to play/counter them. If you're not very good at fighting games and even if you are it's a treasure trove of information.
It's dirt cheap so I don't think it needs to go F2P. Especially since if it did they'd probably jew you way harder with the characters instead of doing a nice 3 character $10 season pass thing. For a game that has crossplay with literally everything except you know who it's a pretty good deal if you want to play something that you'll get consistent matches in.
That's a toy.
The prerelease looked bad. SNK did not have anyone who was skilled with lighting 3D environments, so all of the models looked fucked up.
Then they got someone who re-wrote the shader coding and now it looks pretty good.
Soon...
Question for Latinanons, How did this game become so popular in your countries compared to other fighting games?
Can you name a more BASED character than Duck King?
Not them but it was easy to pirate neo geo stuff in comparison
Personally don't like KOF's 3v3 setup and how most characters are usually moreorless locked into a specific play-style/team role by design.
>Can pirate NG carts unlike CPS ones.
>Can shove like 5 games on a cart unlike CPS on top of being somewhat more cheap.
I wonder why. SF game still retained popularity but cabinets were quite uncommon to see around.
>locked into a specific play-style/team role
Being better for a team position doesn't mean they have a limited play style. And team positioning is somewhat flexible.
>how most characters are usually moreorless locked into a specific play-style/team role by design.
This is much less true than SF and most comparable games due to the universal movement mechanics which are usually much more significant than character specific stuff
Don't shit on games you don't know much about
this was funnier when it was just Andy since you could genuinely fool people with poor memory into thinking it wasn't edited at all
>Don't shit on games you don't know much about
I'm the only one in this thread who's said anything about the game proper at all, as usual most people here who praise KOF don't play it.
>Caracters are usually moreorless locked into a specific play-style/team role by design.
Far from it. Ton of characters can switch position around without big issue, Kim for example can go first and do just fine to not depend much on stock or last to go full rushdown with max stock.
Meta isn't exactly set in stone, even low tier shitters can be quite annoying if played properly and is on right position.
I know but I don't have the Andy only one
You've just said you don't like a mechanic and followed it up with something that isn't true on a basic level, though it does vary by game.
You do not for example get hardcore slow grapplers because every character can run and has a lot of movement options, and can roll etc to deal with fireballs. So, you don't get the super skewed kind of matchup of gief v guile because of the basic mechanics. For that reason characters don't get super locked into one way for playing generally, though some are obviously much better at some things than others.
I just need Kim and Shermie
KOF is a bit more closer to weebfighters than SF. It's quite hard to turtle or keep spamming fireballs around, not mention that gamespeed is somewhat fast with XI being the fastest on franchise.
I miss dreamcancels.
>KOF is a bit more closer to weebfighters than SF.
I disagree on that as well. Setplay is typically not strong in KoF nor is oki in general outside of safejumps in some games.
The very modern games (13 and 14) have had very janky anti air games, but it is still a series where neutral is the most important. It's nowhere near the levels of jank and gorilla shit as your typical arcsys game is or honeslty even SFV.
Even in those later games, characters like King were extremely good and were highly defensive. 14 favored defensive play too much which is why I think it's bad (which I won't go into) and why fireballs had to be nerfed heavily both pre and post release.
Luong a cute. And hot as fuck
oh gee better lighting and slight shading what an update!
nigger you are probably thinking on the early 2000s when most cabs were being replaced by ghetto MAME cabs and then Xbox cabs, but back in the 90s, SF2CE was common as hell, tough granted it was the Rainbow Edition which was even on Big arcades.
Just keep it if it’s not 2D
Nobody wants another PS2 fighter for 60$. Nobody.
Not even people who like KOF.
I'm sure it's CPS2.
He's a Mexican. King of Fighters is in their blood.
No. It actually released in this condition.
I hope you've developed calluses in your thumbs and fingers by now. Its a requirement to play properly.
This. Make the netcode good.
KOFXIV outsold KOFXIII by a lot.
you sound like one of those people who just jerks off over good sprite work instead of playing the game
STOP
You don't?
you should, and probably could, but the question is, would you
how many people actually use those autocombos even
i sure as hell don't unless it's goro and that's usually by accident
yeah, they want an snes game like kofxiii for 60 dollars instead, and then they'll never actually play it still but they'll claim that it's the most godlike part of the franchise t. spritefag shitter
I've seen combos in that game that took forever, dont know how long are bnbs though, still im not touching that shit, plus the artstyle got way too anime and anime players go to hell
PLB always had the best music for his edits.
Any of you wanna play some XIV?
:)
on what?
Either.
are you kman
if so we just played last night
but i can still go
where the FUCK is capcom vs snk 3
i'll even settle for a remaster of 2
Capcom invented the cancer DLC model for fighting games. No one used to do it until they did it and it worked because they had a massive cult of fighting game players eating up their shit.
Yea, hop on Samsho instead.
>Dead already
>Hit physics are awful
>Running/walking feels like they're on fucking ice
>Not even old fans of the series continue to play/like this shit
>3D models still look like hot garbage
Alright
probably.
Never ever user
>14 favored defensive play too much which is why I think it's bad
Are you really gonna complaint about that where most fighting games nowadays are all offense-heavy?
No, I play AND jerk off after.
Bnbs are twice or even thrice as short. Outsiders really tend to exaggerate combo length in this game.
>after
>not dropping your load on shitters both literally and figuratively during the match
I knew Yea Forums was casual but come on
My main gripe with XIV is how they tried to go the 2002 route but ended up doing a worse job than XIII since you can do a lot of damage easily with little resources, in XIII at least if you spent your shit you had to wait a while to earn all that again.
At least the broken stuff in 2002 wasn't as easy to execute.
One of my main gripe with XIII was how shit did less damage than 98 unless you had a bunch of meters. I like my game high damage/short but powerful combos. Thankfully, Samsho is back.
Yeah, missing a purist non max mode KoF but everyone is on the touch of death bandwagon so that won't ever happen unless Garou 2 somehow happens.
I forgot to say that I preferred the way XIV did it compared to XIII.
I found it user
everyone has been asking snk to making it more like 98 for kof 15 from what i've heard
Still makes me laugh every time
i love KOF's character designs but god i'm such dogshit at the actual game
i should probably stick to kekken
I'm fucking dogshit at tekken user. No one throw hadokens. I just play it for fun with friends.
Hope you can enjoy casual KoF with your friends too.
3 characters throw hadoukens in T7.
Yes because the reason it was offense heavy was because Max was very badly designed and made any sort of commitment absurdly dangerous in a similar way to third strike
And the other reason it's bad is because they fucked up how anti air hitboxes should work and how run pressure should work - in that neither work right at all. I won't go too much into this as it would be a massive post and I think you posted ages ago, but basically the game had a slower speed at release and higher jump height. They changed the game to be more like 13 in pace and jump height, but did not adjust normals and ground pressure to match, which just made 'fundamental' KoF pressure dysfunctional and you had to rely on randomly poking into max mode or character specific pressure, which where it did exist was also very retarded.
Where do King and her defensive play come into play?
>base roster of 50
>includes even a fucking pachislot mascot
>still no decent Metal Slug character
Yet nobody gives a shit about it at all.
>thinking KoF is smah bros tier retardation
leave. and kys.
mina in samsho 2019 when plz
You mean like all those Cuckstalkers?
