I missed it if you posted the first video, so I just posted the thread for people to check that out plus the new vids found further down on that thread.

I guess I should have just put up 2 links, but I thought I was pretty clear with "Links to some new NGBC vids".

I'm dumb, sorry. :confused:

[Agmaster]

WWho's the character in video 4 and 5?

[Violent Ryo]

WWho's the character in video 4 and 5?

...?

#4: Mr. Karate (Ryo) vs Muzuchi (Orochi).

#5: Cyber Woo vs King Lion.

[Time_Stop]

...?

#4: Mr. Karate (Ryo) vs Muzuchi (Orochi).

#5: Cyber Woo vs King Lion.

Video 4 is King Lion´s intro.

And Agmaster, King Lion (Shin Shishioh) comes from the Kizuna Encounter/Fuun-ken series.

[bill_rizer]

those vids were cool lol its funny once orochi found his spot he neva moved true godly power.
his intro is cool also.
snk need to release this shit quick.

[kyo_andy]

I just know this is going to be my new favorite 2D fighter.
i feel the same, just watching the intro(which is very fucking cool), i hope we can get it in the states

[Violent Ryo]

I really like the intro despite the lack of motion (can't hear the music at work right now, but I hope its good enough to compliment the intro).

The art and style really stood out to me. Is this the same artist as SVC's official and ingame art?

Didnt expect to see Fatal Fury vs Art of Fighting (Classic) or Samurai Showdown vs Last Blade (about time). Too Cool.

Liked Fuuma's Naruto-ish scene as well, even tho I hate him.

[kyo_andy]

The art and style really stood out to me

yeah, that intro art is really good, i don't care the lack of movement, the art is really good, although i didn't liked the win quote art

[Violent Ryo]

The winner portraits will be hits or misses. But yeah the art is fantastic. Top quality.

This isnt even released in Japanese arcades yet. So don't expect a US release for at least a year.

I'm contemplating getting a sit down cab and an AW set up to be able to play this (and KOF 11) sooner than normal, if my financial status will let me in the near future.

If not, I already have a modded PS2 so I can get it right on Japanese PS2 release. Just have to wait for a bit, no matter what though.

[Gamer X]

This game is driving me crazy!!! I want to play this so bad my dick hard. SNK need to hurry the hell up!

[Sacr3D]

I have a good feeling about this game for once

[Time_Stop]

Game is being released in Japan next month. NeoWave didn´t take long to arrive in the US, but release was very small. Now that those games are being released by Sega, they should be everywhere, i assume.

(can't hear the music at work right now, but I hope its good enough to compliment the intro).


If you´ve seen the videos on the official site, you´ve heard the intro and most stage songs already. I personally think they´re the best since SNK went kaput in 2000. Lion´s song is generic action stuff, sure, but the Mizuchi song is fantastic. Think Dies Irae (the Mozart song they used for Krauser) with a touch of the usual KOF96-97 boss battles.

[DanSC]

this game looks tight!! the only thing i dont like the the 3D backgrounds.

[FullMetalRoss]

does anyone know the artist name who did the character portraits?

Als the artist who did the art in those two cut-scenes specifically the King Lion and Orochi portraits.

[Time_Stop]

does anyone know the artist name who did the character portraits?

Ogura is responsible for the full body shots at the official site and the "bust" shots at the site and the chara select screen. He did some cutscenes for KOF and some illustrations for KOF2000 and Garou.

Als the artist who did the art in those two cut-scenes specifically the King Lion and Orochi portraits.

No idea. Most likely a new guy, even if there´s a "Nona" feel to some of those... This guy, whoever he is, also did the winning portraits.

The intro is done by a third guy, also new (SNK has a billion different artists now - even SS has an all-new artist, while all the old ones are still working with them... even Shinkiro came back quickly for some work in KOF94ReBout).

KOFXI also has three different artists (intro, chara select and illustrations), it seems.

So far from what ive seen it looks about as Clunky as SvC did, infact it looks almost exactly like SvC. But how good it is has yet to be deteremined.

Yeah I feel the same way. I just am not seeing in this game whatever other people are seeing. Every clip makes the game look so boring, despite the great cast.

[JamMasterJom]

i agree

[Rhio2k]

Is it just me, or does Muzuchi say "Tenjo Tenge" when he does his winpose?

[Time_Stop]

Is it just me, or does Muzuchi say "Tenjo Tenge" when he does his winpose?

Yes, Orochi already did the "tenjou tenge" Buddha pose (pointing at heaven and earth at the same time) in 97. It´s got NOTHING to do with the manga or (shitty-ass) anime. Not only KOF97 came first, but... Buddha also kinda came first.

[Violent Ryo]

Now that (SNK) games are being released by Sega, they should be everywhere, i assume.


Shit...Two of my most appreciated game developers ever, working together now..

Didn't see this coming, but I'm loving it. Here's to a Streets of Rage team in KOF soon. :clap:


If you´ve seen the videos on the official site, you´ve heard the intro and most stage songs already.

Yeah you are right, and I like the music so far. The BGM for the Mr. Big, and Lee showcase videos is what I like most right now.

I thought that as well, when the very first NGBC videos emerged. Yet as more became available, I noticed a significant difference, as the gameplay/engine doesn't seem floaty or clunky.

Not as tight or just right as KOF 2k2 but not an SVC imo, and it doesnt seem like KOF 2k3 to me either.

And plus, every video we see if its not a character move showcase vid, its always no skill level vs matches.

I bet the game would look a lot better if they had their top testers playing each other.


Oh, and I love the zoom effect. SNK got it just right this time for this game.

[Gamer X]

Well a quick update for those who don't know NeoGeo Battle Coliseum will be release in Japan 27 July(check the magic box.com). I wonder how soon we will see it in the States.

[XTG]

im assuming Saturday the 30th :)

[Jedah Dohma]

Yeah it's release date is 27-7.I got big hopes for this game, but I still don't understand why SNK changed Ryo & Orochi's name in this game?

[ABASI]

when will it be release on the home system and which system will it be released on?

ABASI! :cool:

[Jedah Dohma]

when will it be release on the home system and which system will it be released on?

ABASI! :cool:
Most likely the end of this year for PS2.

[XTG]

end of this year?

[Time_Stop]

End of this year? Yeah, riiiight. More like July 2006, buddy.

NeoWave took about one full year after the arcade release (it´s being released this month for PS2 in Japan), which is the standard for SNK games.

[Snowman]

Accourding to the SNK site, it's (Neowave) coming out on the 21st. Can't wait
Neowave and PAL KOF2002 the day after.. brilliant

[XTG]

lol i know it aint comin out end of this year, i was replying to poster above me...

[Wellman]

Yeah it's release date is 27-7.I got big hopes for this game, but I still don't understand why SNK changed Ryo & Orochi's name in this game?

Don't know about Orochi, but Ryo in this game is the older Ryo that has taken the identity of Mr. Karate. Seen in Buriki One and Fatal Fury Wild Ambition, it is supposed to be Ryo's real age since the AOF series took place years before the FF series.

[Time_Stop]

And Mizuchi is not the real Orochi. It´s a WAREZ clone or something.

[polarity]

And Mizuchi is not the real Orochi. It´s a WAREZ clone or something.

There's an organization called WAREZ that clone people? That's hilarious.

[Rhio2k]

All I know is that just like with half of the kof games and svc, we're gonna be seeing some wild, fucked-up combos and shit once the Mook DVD drops.

[Snowman]

What exactly is the story of Mizuchi? I only know of Orochi and that saga. Is there any other WAREZ clones?

[Time_Stop]

What exactly is the story of Mizuchi? I only know of Orochi and that saga. Is there any other WAREZ clones?

Mizuchi is a mytical water dragon, like Orochi was an eight-headed dragon. But this Mizuchi seems to be created by WAREZ, the company that wants to "steal all SNK´s properties".

WAREZ being an acronymn to ARUZE, the pachinko company that fucked SNK back in 2000.

A conglomerate named WAREZ cloning characters in an attempt to steal all of SNK's properties? Is this SERIOUSLY the "plot" of NGBC? If so, I think SNK took all of the piracy problems of the Neo Geo a bit too personally.

[XTG]

when would the Mook DVD typically drop? and where would one be able to get it? im prepared to shell out cash for it

It´s called "sense of humor".

[Rhio2k]

When you would later be able to download it in 5-6 avi files from orochinagi.com? Eh, whatever. It's your money.

[XTG]

yeah, i actually wanna own this mook...

That sounds kinda good, actually.

That's what makes it better.

Nothing wrong with paying for the actual product that you know you will appreciate. Great for collections too.

Any online import store as soon as it is released of which I have no idea. Will be ordering it too tho. ^_^

KOF is KOF...which is more than enough, but I think this is the SNK game I've been waiting for.

[kyo_andy]

this is the SNK game I've been waiting for.
let's hope snk don't screw with the tiers, like past games(duolon in 2k3, geese in svc)

[beelzebubble]

let's hope snk don't screw with the tiers, like past games(duolon in 2k3, geese in svc)

this game has had crazy lokes and has changed numerous times. if any game has a chance of being solidly balanced... this one does.

[Gamer X]

I wonder is this going to be a new trend for SNK to test the shit out of their fighters before releasing them or is this game a special case.

[MeanGreen]

some vids here not sure if anyone has seen these yet

http://insertcredit.com

scroll down to july 05 news NGBC Loketest videos

[Violent Ryo]

^ Yeah those are the videos from the first page here.

[Turbovec]

All I can say, is even if the tiers are messed up, that this easily beats CFJ. Then again, almost anything does.

Well, both SST and KOFXI already had at least two lokes each...

lol...and NGBC isn't even released yet.....jeez :tup:

[Wellman]

Yeah it does seem especially strange though when you consider the amount of time between the original NGBC loketests, how fast they are cranking out the newer games.

KOF I can understand as it is their money maker, but SS I would think they would wait for a bit before releasing instead of a month or two after NGBC.

[XTG]

Jin Chonshu character demo video released at snkplaymore.co.jp
can do low D --> C Emperor Heaven Ear *antiair* --> juggle with second C Emperor Heaven Ear for 3 extra hit *9 hit juggle*

vid is 1 minute 27 seconds...enjoy

[Turbovec]

Thanks for the update post. But is it just me...or does the yawn in mid air look really odd. How he's just kinda standing there.....on nothing. X3
