King Of Fighters general

The first one has both of them lightly blushing and Chang is more or less hugging Leona, so it can count as shipping. The second one... not so much, unless the artist is well-known for being a Leona/Chang shipper.

I was referring to the 2nd one.

Was messing around with 2k2 UM and discovered this.

These sprites were made with love.

Pfffft, Rachel has a similar animation for her crouch as well.

Unlimited Match was one of the best entries in this series, no question.

Yeah it is.It, 98UM, and 13 are my favorite entries.

Something that occurred to me while editing some of the KOF pages is that that rumored DLC list is probably BS, given some of the things seen in XIV.

Bao still looks like a little kid in the Psycho Soldiers' ending, so the rumor that he'd appear older, and with a new design (though his outfit was updated to look very slightly different) means the rest of the list probably isn't creditable, either.

Do I just got the game and went through the Story Mode. And... aside of Another World Team, who gets extended cutscenes? Because K' certainly don't. I think team Japan, China and Official Invitation will get one, but who else?

P.S: Why is PS 4's d-pad more of a pain in the ass for fighting games? Is this because of me trying to do fighting stuffs with Analog stick via Super Smash Bros 3DS or it's because I've been rather away from fighting stuffs lately?

Only those four teams (Japan, Official Invitation, China, Another World) have custom cutscenes against Verse.

I wanted to see a full CGI King of Dinosaurs.

No Team Brazil FTL, but eh they were just in it for the money. I wonder who gave Nelson's arm though? NEST?

Maxima's Story Mode conversation with him heavily implies that it was NESTS.

So, okay. For those who have fought Verse...

Just how much does he qualify as an SNK Boss?

Well, I got my ass whooped trying to beat him fair and square, and the only way I could beat him was by picking one of the options the game gives you for losing and reducing him to 50% HP while giving me some extra meter. And I still lost a couple more matches before I finally beat him. I think that tells you all you need to know.

It looks like there will be an October patch, and Nakoruru gonna get nerfed.

Yay!

Also, source.

Nakoruru's hawk is still broken, huh?

I bought this game recently. I haven't played it too much yet, just sticking to training mode since I need to learn three characters. I still need to play the story mode, but I did beat time attack.

I've never really played much KOF before, and never online either. I'm not really sure which characters I want to play outside of Terry. I'm looking at Robert, Andy, Mai, and Zarina. Nelson and Angel seem interesting, though their play style also feels difficult to get my head around.

How is the netcode after the recent patch?

It's apparently pretty good. Good enough that Maximilian Dood hasn't dropped it like all his non Capcom and Killer Instinct fighters otherwise.

Ever wake up in the morning and have a tune stuck in your head that you may not have even heard or thought about before in a long time? Happened with me this morning and Fairy.

I really like Chizuru's design and she's a good example of a non over-sexualized female in a fighting game who still manages to feel unique. While I'm not crazy about how she plays she's a legitimately good character and I want her to be playable next game, which seems likely.

Chizuru's gimmick with her strong-vs-light variant specials was a favorite of mine in '98 UM.

Given her cameo in XIV, I get the feeling there's a good chance we might see her again in XV... If the new engine can handle her illusion powers that is.

Say, if you were given the opportunity to distill the KOF storyline into as few installments as you can, how would you do it?

For me, I'd compress the Rugal-sponsored tournaments into just one (basically, he goes into Orochi-powered mode after his first defeat, rather than being assumed to be dead for a year by everyone), with Goenitz's and the New Faces Team's tournaments combined into one where said villains form a "Four Heavenly Kings" team (that's their actual title as members of Orochi's Hakkeshu). Not sure what to do with the NESTS Saga, though.

For NESTS, you could always condense everything into both the Zero Cannon and the NESTS Orbital Base. Have the base act as the Zero Canon, cut Clone Zero (Or make him Original Zero), and have the climax be against the NESTS agents Zero and Krizalid, before moving onto Igniz, or even Father NESTS if one wanted to follow the original plans. Kula and her team can be sub bosses as well.

I'd also bring back their plan to have Krizalid be a playable hero instead of k9999 given their distaste for the latter. I know fans have kind of embraced Nameless, but a playable Krizalid would mean more and be a cooler addition to the roster.

I'd make each game have a story mode ala Mortal Kombat 9's that covers the events of each game in that saga, personally. 94-97 for the Orochi Saga, with all of the characters involved playable, 99-2k1 for Nests, and 2k3-XIII for Ash. They'd have Dream Match sized rosters and mechanics and thus we wouldn't need 98 or 2k2 to fill in those gaps.

Sometimes they kill off characters people actually like, which annoys me.

I had a similar breakdown, except I split the "Rugal saga" from the Orochi saga, and also Ash had 2 games.

For Nests, I'd be writing off Clone Zero (and maybe Igniz) from the plot, and combining the colony drop with the kill sat plot, but either way Southtown is still toast.

For Ash, I thought it'd be cool to have the plot where Ash steals powers from Iori and Chizuru be one game and the conclusion be KOF 13.
