KOF XII

My apologies if a thread like this already exists (feel free to close/merge). I haven't touched SF4 in weeks... just so bored with it (it's just ST:remix, really), and I need a 2D fighter fix.

So is anyone interested in this game?

Some HD vids:

Very interested,

In fact I have so much hopes for this game that I am half tempted NOT to play it online so I wont have scrubs spoiling it for me lol.

 

Haha KOFXII will be awesome. Over here I know many many KOF players and the KOF scene is actually significant, so this is the game we've all been waiting for!

 

I've never been into the KOF series to be honest but the new look really drew me in. KOF12 is going to be my first big venture into the series. I can't wait for it.

 

Don't worry Matt I'll play KoF with you if I'm not to scrubby /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

As for me, I've played a few iterations of the series and i enjoyed them lots,
I really like the characters and the environments and seeing them HD'd up like this is awesome.

Might have to dig out KoF 2002, would anyone say its worth playing to practice until XII?

 

Game looks amazing. That's all I'll say for now, but I can't get enough of the match vids. There's too few vids out but at least AI is stepping up with the skill and frequency of their vids.
Like this match from today, just crazy.

I was very close on canceling my pre-order for KOF XII. I've been playing KOF at Chinatown fair for a few weeks already. The critical counter system is one of my biggest beef. That shit fills up to fast, and you could spam the critical hit as long you still have meter. And people thought ultra's were bad, wait till you experience this bullshit.

Once you land a critical counter attack, and know the most damaging CC combo, that's easily 60-80% of your health. This combo's are not that hard to perform. Anyway, People are now using the chairs for KOF to watch BlazBlue matches now at CF. I'm a HUGE KOF fan, but this game disappointed me.

Here's a example on CC combo. On the 1:03 mark, you see the Terry player spam the CC attack 3 times in a row.

Hah!

I've been playing BB at CTF this week heavily and I took chairs from other games to watch people play as well.

I pre-ordered KOFXII just because if it's at EVO next year I would at least like to know what's going on on the big screen if it becomes a featured game.

If it doesn't become popular enough to carry a community then I'll just keep it around for casuals or something.

 

That Terry player looked pretty freaking good though...

I'll take you word for it cause the damage does look pretty ridiculous... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

That sucks /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

I for one was interested in KOF but after seeing these new vids i've become very disappointed. The roster is Bland to me. The Critical combo's are bullshit and way to damaging. 1 Super per character Except Ryo? 95 movelist and character except Shen, Duo Long Leona,elizabeth,Raiden. Pure poke combo's is what i see unless your aiming for critical allday (Which online will be a problem.)

I hope Clark's movelist is expanded but by seeing him with his vulcan punch its safe to say he is 95 version (Sans Tackle into various throws.)

I don't know man i'm very skeptical at this point because it still looks slow.

 

Is all about BlazBlue, I see BlazBlue having a bigger turn out at EVO next year then KOF. That's if, both titles are feature. Instant, we should link up next week at CF. Anyway, I'm still going to get the game, but I'm going to you use it as a "Chillout" game after some BlazBlue, matches. BTW, I'll be on both systems as always.

And SDS, the speed is good in this game, you have to check it out for yourself. Oh, and I haven't mention the bullshit "Alpha Counter" system this game has.

 

^Probably looks slow because of how well it animates and stages are larger lol. Watching this and say, a vid of 98, I'd say the overall game speed is fairly similar.

Personally I love the idea of CCs over Ultra. You can't sit on CCs, and it's time based, so your opponent knows what's up. You actually have to risk something to land them, too. AND it's not auto pilot once you land it, granted that won't be an issue once people practice but at least you -can- mess up the damage post CC. AND each character has access to them, can't say the same about Ultras in 4... The idea of CCs also opens up the throw game more in XII versus other KoFs. It's also not like big damage is new to KoF.

I too WAS bummed at the roster initially, and the reduction of special moves, but after seeing how these chars can be played, I already have over 7 characters I want to play lol.

I'm also not an online player for the most part, but if the netcode is good, it's over. The idea of 3 vs 3 with my friends is too much.

 

You know what's good with characters. If I touch this game, those 2 are on team, pronto. With K'.

 

Here's some high level non-sense I forgot to post.

Damn Slide, we're posting in the same threads on VFDC and SRK, lol.

 

haha yeah

 

To me, those combos are dope lol. Sure beats the jab infinites or two hit infinites of past KoFs.

All of the max damage %s are known off of the CCs it seems. If people are interested. They range from basically 50% to 70% damage.

Fuck I didn't know the roster, K' isnt in it???

Ok, Shen, Leona, Benimaru

 

Well, strong talks of K' being in the console version. I don't want to get your hopes up based on 'rumors,' but it's really sounding like both Mai and K' are gonna be back in it.

 

Interesting posts regarding the game system - I was actually hoping the new system changes would balance out the roster a bit more. Our arcade doesn't have a machine though, so I guess I'll have to wait for a PSN demo.

BB beats XII on balnace though?

 

I see I see, anyway I might cop this game, but it'll be via trade-ins. Guess what one of the traded in games will be? SF4.

Going to start getting new games via trade-ins now, cause I got old shit I don't touch.
