Topic: KOFXIII aka the full version of last year's "beta test"

[HokutoNoBen]

So, the event that was meant to pimp up SNK's newest version of KOF was earlier today. And my impression?

Now the King is BACK.

Some details:

-Game is slated for arcades this summer
-Female fighters team: Mai, Yuri, King is in the game
-Also slots for 6 other characters
-Character select seems to have multiple palette selections like Blazblue

-Characters can do new "EX" specials and supers by using up their power meter. EX versions of the moves can have various effects ranging from multiple hits, invincibility, hit detection after move hits, and in cases of some projectiles- faster speed, penetration.
-New "drive cancel" system allows for players to cancel a special or super into another one. Requires the use of the "drive meter". EX moves can be used.
-New "Hyper Drive" mode. When the drive meter is at MAX, you can go into Hyper Drive mode, which lets you cancel all normal moves, direction moves (like f+P), and also lets you do infinite drive cancels for a limited time.

-4 New stages: Bus Terminal (United Kingdom), Sumo ring in fall season, Jungle in the sunshine, Maharaja.

-Additional Stuff (some unconfirmed):
Terry has his Buster Wolf
Kyo can do an aerial Orochinagi


Also, the game will be included in the next Tougeki battle tournament.


- KOFXIII will be the climax of the Ash saga.
- The intro show's him, Rose & I could've swear ppl that wore clothes like Zero from KOF2000.
- I think there will be a total of 9 new characters, 3 which are revealed as the Women's Team (Mai, Yuri & King).
- As u can see, Mai is in her Real Bout oufit I think.
- Her fighting stance is like a very exaggerated pose from her official art from KOF2000.
- She has a new VA (Koshimizu Ami). The presenters commented that her voice sounds very sexy when she does her "Kachou-sen!" fan throw   
- Yuri's sprite looks very cute.
- The character order selection screen's music is the same as KOFXI (probably just a placeholder).
- 4 new stages shown (1 is the jungle stage mysteriously removed from KOFXII). They also said that there will be more new stages.
- The sousai & critical combo system seems to have been removed.
- There is also no longer the zooming in & out camera effect (the camera seemed to be zoomed out now).
- The speed seems to have been increased.
- In short, the game feels more like classic KOF than the slower paced KOFXII.


Since this is for the arcade release, of course, we're not going to get anything about possible better netcode for the home release. But that doesn't matter for now. Welcome back to the fight for REAL, SNK.

Sprites are looking as cool as ever.  

Cancel Hyper sounds intresting (never had a chance to play any of the KOFs (I only knew them through crossovers  ) due to rarity and shitty fighting skillz).

[Gotham Ranger]

Oh my god

High res breasts

[Sub Tank]

Mai has even less clothes in this, IIRC.

I think the whole back side of her outfit is totally gone.

[Acid]

Called it. No really. When KoF12 was released it seemed more like a test.

[Gotham Ranger]

I always figured it was a way to get cash to keep producing 13.

"Hey, we need funding. Release what we got" "But it sucks" "Do it"

[Solar]

Pretty much.

Anyways, really hyped for this, I hope my arcade gets this game soon after release like XII.

You'd be correct

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one that thought that this is perhaps the most skimpiest i've seen of Mai.  Which is funny in a sense, considering how many hentai doujins I skimmed of her...

<.<''

Okay, I see that [tornado fang]er Ash, Iyori ()... but where the [tornado fang] is K'? HUH?! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH?!

I was never able to follow KoFs plot, so I dunno. Was he killed or some [parasitic bomb]? WHY IS THERE NO K'?!

Still, the sprites look [tornado fang]ing nice, as always. I wonder if KoF XII have been ripped already?

First question: Last seen helping the Ikari.
Second question: Because.
Third question: I believe so.

[Copy X]

I'm starting to wonder whether or not people around here even play fighting games or just like the art drawings ^^ but  it's nice to know KOF has some love after XII.

Sub- That's a huge pic man. lol.

[Solar]

Other than a few of us, not really =P

[Acid]

Well I play a few fighters. But I'm not good at all. So competitive fighting is a no-no

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

I still play them, I just don't have much friends who play them as often nowadays, so it's become rather passive at times.  I still highly enjoy them despite the fact that I have a limit to how decent I can be at them.  I'm average at best lol.

As for art well...there has been ALOT of talented artists for fighters, so it's only natural alot here enjoy them.

[Gotham Ranger]

So, things I noticed. Mature is indeed alive, and Oswald is nowhere to be seen.

[xnamkcor]

How's the roster?
I'm hoping for Andy, Terry, Rock, Joe.

PS: I want a game where I can vs Rock and Rock.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I purchased XII on the good name of SNK without consulting the internet first. I will not be fooled again. Expecting a [parasitic bomb] game, with pretty visuals and a sound test that forces you to reset.

[xnamkcor]

I got XI for 10USD for shits and giggles. I barely played it. Most of my fighting game experience is: SBB(lol), MOtW, KOF2002/2003/2001, SFZ3, MvC2, SF3:3S, SuperDBZ.

I'm not great, but I like the challenge. Playing with ventrilo is great. I hope voice comms are on during matches.

PS: Someone needs to program AI to detect and mock/punish button mashing.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I got mine for full release day price... 60$...

[HokutoNoBen]

Go play Virtua Fighter 4 EVO or 5.

In addition to being one of the most complex fighting games ever made, the game's AI is ready to match it. You won't get far in either of these latter day VF games if you try to mash.

XI? As in Eleven? For PS2? You paid 60?

PS:


I suck...

[Solar]

Since we're in a a KOF thread already, does anyone here play on 2DF (now Supercade) or GGPO? It'd be nice to play with someone you know >_>

I play on FBA.

Err I thought you meant XII. Sorry.

[King Reaper]

I'm excited. I've never been as big of a fan of KoF as I am of SF, but I don't think I've ever not had a copy of one of the KoFs on my shelf.
Didn't play KoFXII, primarily because I had heard bad things about it and I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm excited that they're adding King in, since she's always part of my team.
In fact, if they add Vanessa, I'll have my entire KoFXI team together again. King, Shen-woo, and Vanessa.
