How much of a fucking newfag do you have to be to not remember Metal Slug or KOF

Lol no one here plays KoF otherwise theyd know that a FUCKING DINOSAUR was playable and is high tier

Apparently a big one. I know the title of "Metal Slug" but have never played or seen it. And I have no idea what KOF is

I want Metal Slug playable
anyone from it

SNK historically is a company that used to rival Capcom back in the days of the 90s arcades. King of Fighters was more or less Street Fighter's rival back in the day. SNK amassed huge popularity among not just North American arcades, but especially Latin American, Chinese, Korean, etc. ones, because of international laws and easy to pirate hardware+software that made them hallmark items in public domain in those countries.

Imagine basically if SNK arcade machines were as frequent as those really cheap crane games you see at movie theaters, and imagine that for basically every building. That's how popular it was.

SNK is a huge part of gaming history. Especially since they were constantly moving shit forward when it came to the industry in several ways, especially in the art department when they were constantly clashing with Capcom to see who could raise the bar higher (e.g. this video youtube.com/watch?v=Wz2VAI-p218 and gif related). Gameplay wise they're nowadays one of the most underrated companies in terms of how many people are even aware of how fucking good their games were. KOF is still one of the best fighting games out there in terms of gameplay (OG 98 especially) and Metal Slug 3 is still probably the best sidescrolling shooter ever made. They're also not exactly irrelevant now like you might think since Samurai Shodown was just recently featured at EVO. If you can give one of their better games a chance, you'll find many of them exist for free on Fightcade. You should definitely give them a go, you don't know what you're missing out on.

I want Kula playable, but I could live with Terry or Iori(Fuck Kyo).
As for an assist trophy IDK do something weird like Foxy or Mars People.
Rugul or Nightmare Geese boss when

Oh and fav SNK game is KOF XI followed by LB2 or Metal Slug 3

SHE IS IN

Who is that cutie on the left?

XI is a rather unusual pick, especially since LB2 and MS3 aren't. What makes you pick XI of all KOFs

Thanks!

I like the odd roster in some places(even if no Leona) and Oswald is legit one of my very fav fighting hand characters. I like that it’s basically a more refined version of 2003 who’s only good points over it are Leona, Yamasaki and being easier to emulate. As a kid and now I had an easier time getting into than most post ‘98 KOF games. Music is also great, tho I like 02UM’s OST just as much. It’s easily also my fav Atomiswave game.

previous leaks said female in a mecha

>Text leak

I also mentioned that they would be blind, bitch

I rented quite a lot of KoF games back in the day. Honestly they never made much of an impression on me like Samsho or WotM did at Cici's pizza. I just hope it ain't gay shit like Terry or Kyo. Played and liked a few of the Metal Slug games and those characters and world are good enough. SNK just never hit it big in the US so I can't say I'm excited

Leaks also says its a bird.

IROHA FUCKIMG CONFIRMED MARK MY WORDS!!

Cmon!! Imagine all the fanart where nintendo characters like Peach will be drawn wearing Iroha's maid dress!!

>Game
Last Blade 2 probably, though I really like the Real Bout Fatal Fury games.
>Want
I’m a simple man, I want Terry. Really though I’m down for basically any of the speculated characters, though Nako is easily my least favored (personal preference, never cared tremendously for her playstyle or design but I don’t think it’s an objectively bad pick or anything)
>Assist
Iori seems like the logical choice for assist, since he seems to be the crossoverbait character, or Geese if they’d just be getting the rights to Fatal Fury.
>Music
No contest, make way for the best Geese theme

I honestly think it’s more likely than not that this was a bizarre accident (i.e. not the type of accident we were hoping it was) and SNK isn’t actually getting a character, but fingers are crossed.

KOF 96.
Leona
I don't really care.
