King Of Fighters general

Though it does remind me of Mizuchi for some reason. Hmmmm......

Probably just your imagination.

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Yeah, your probably right.

Say Pulse, do you have real life friends who play KOF at all? Mine who even play fighting games have barely heard of it. I find I end up playing against the computer a lot.

I don't even have real life friends, if I'm being honest. Trying to fix that, but it's a slow process.

So yeah, similar boat.

Oh....

Sorry for bringing it up then.

Nah, it's been the case for so long, I'm a little used to it by now.

...

Well, sorry about that.

...

So, right.

I still have no clue why there are 2 KOF threads.

New topic!

Which character do you want to see in the new art style the most? I would like to see the Nest Bosses or Omega/Normal Rugal.

Kasumi, if only because XI's Anti-Kyokugen Team was the best idea ever.

Or non-crap designs for the Ikari Warriors.

Leona's design is fine.

Heavy D since I want to see what an updated version of him would look like.

I find Leona's XII/XIII look kinda generic compared to her original design, to be honest, but that's me.

No one can argue that Rolf and especially Clark have good designs in those games, though. It's a shame- Nona's style is honestly pretty neat, all things being equal.

I wanna see Eiji, Shermie (especially Shermie), and Yamazaki in the new style the most.

Honestly Ralf and Clark always had some of the more boring designs(moreso Clark) in the series and stupid as roid-ikari look, I prefer them over the original construction worker look. They actually look like mercenaries. But yeah, a new makeoever is sorely needed.

I like the '99 onwards looks, if only because Rolf looks like a bruiser, Clark looks like a savvy grappler type, and they clearly aren't headswaps.

I could never tell, with him wearing those shades all the time and everything. :P

Sabian you're from Europe right? Because PAL copies of 98UM are rarer than gold dust and I got lucky to get one as well.

Yeah, I'm British. And really? Good to know.

I asked a lot why I could never find it. I emailed Ignition about it when I was younger and everything.

The 2014 KOF XIII EVO finals are on.

They're finally revealed that they're working on the game, about time.

Please be more like 98. And better netcode. And make Athena look the way she's supposed to.

And thus the last mainstream (if we can even call SNK that any more) bastion for 2-D fighters converts.

They "converted" a decade ago. Then went back.

I don't see why they can't have both.

The overwhelming trend nowadays is a move towards 3-D, and they're definitely not in the right financial situation to go about making side games like Maximum Impact. It could be an experiment, but I'm guessing they're banking a lot on this shift.

Please don't be another pachinko game

Please don't go back to KOF XII's sprite style with stupidly large muscle Ikari men and fucking abomination Moe Anime Athena for the sake of throwback
