Oswald reminds me of Olaf from Power Instinct Matrimelee. And even though they play differently, I'm hoping Olaf's pimpness rubs off on Oswald.

Then again, I walked five blocks from my home to play CFJ at the arcade even though I was on dialysis and I knew no opponents would challenge me, so I may not be the best person to talk. ;)

Hopefully Xbox will get a port, and not eight months later after the PS2 port. I wasn't much into SNK games back in the day, but MOTW, SS5S, and the new games coming out may make me a fan boy. Not like Capcom is giving them much of a competition now anyways. I'll take 2D fighting anyway I can get it.

It´s a little different. You can tag normally, during offense and during defense (after blocking).

The Roman numeral put an end to all that, as did the absense of a KOF last year. Rock may very well even be in this game as a secret character or something since for all we know KOFXI takes place in 06/07.

Rumor says six secret characters, from Kizuna and Buriki. Not very unlikely, considering a) a voice actor is listed as dubbing Hayate and b) Hiroaki, who is doing the art, worked as designer and/or main artist for both Kizuna and Buriki.

I wonder how? To my knowledge, Chizuru damn near sucked in KOF '97, and was vastly improved in KOF '98...however, not to the point she could be considered "cheap". She was dangerous, yes, but not as easy as, say...Iori or Daimon. At any rate, I would probably pick her '96 or 2003 versions...and even there, Maki is a lot, LOT more scarier.

Still think they are short changing the number of characters that could be in this game. I was and still am hoping more will be add by the time the game is released at the end of the year. Otherwise they will probably save them up for console release like they did with previous games.

I totally agree, we need another KOF '98. That game had all the characters up to date plus new ones and like the whole fuckin' Orochi family as secret characters. I don't get why they keep leaving characters out. I mean some fans like other characters better than others and get pissed when they don't see them come back or have some new character in one game and just like that BAM! they're not there in the next. I am kinda happy that Malin is back but my dream team would have to be Heidrien, Lucky D., and Yashiro. Fuckin' Lucky D. is the shit dude, that guys got hops!!! He also has that move like that one Undercover Brother lookin' guy from ROTD the spining air flip. He also has the bandage on the side of his face like Nelly. Thanx.

well yea but they kinda messed that up 2k2=dream then 2k3 =real then neowave =dream and now xi=real

i think they just do it when it suits them, but im going to guess if characters like rock are included it will be for console only since they did that for 2k2 and neowave, it gives arcade players another reason to get it i feel and just helps with sales.

most likely u will get characters from 2k3 that were left out like robert mai etc.

With KOF the usual excuse was that the Neo Geo hardware couldn't handle all the new characters and animations. But now that they have started using the AW hardware that reason won't fly anymore. I get wanting to change things but a few of the teams almost seem like they mashed them together (Kim not having a team of his own nor one for the Ladies team).

Either way the game does sound nice and the new characters that I have seen appear seem pretty good. Like I said hopefully this isn't really the full cast and that by its end of the year release the game will include a few more since it seems a waste and points toward rushing to leave the roster so compact (by KOF standards).

Sammy told Noise Factory to make NeoWave. It was Sammy´s initiative, not SNKP´s.

Still think they are short changing the number of characters that could be in this game. I was and still am hoping more will be add by the time the game is released at the end of the year. Otherwise they will probably save them up for console release like they did with previous games.

If they put everybody in this game, then what would be the point of having characters like Big, Geese, Mai, Robert in NGBC? If they put everybody in this game, then what would be the point of having Saisyu in NeoWave? If they put everybody in this game, then who would they bring back next game?

People are happy when older characters come back (see Eiji, Duck). If they were there every year, who would care? "Gosh, i´m so excited Athena is in the game this year!" or "Whoo-hoo! Ryo is in KOF! That´s the 13th KOF he´s in! I can´t wait!".

And since when 33 characters, plus 3 bosses is a small roster (that´s without considering ff the rumor is true, which would mean 42 characters total)? Garou has 10 characters, so what?

And the Atomiswave can´t handle some huge impossible roster with all 75+ characters from KOF. It´s Naomi´s poor cousin! The thing even has loading times, for Christ´s sake!

Roster dicussions suck ass. For every person happy Choi is gone, there´s someone unhappy (forgot he´s really popular in 2002 and NeoWave?). For every guy praising Duck´s inclusion, there are 100 (probably more) complaining about the absence of Mai. Same for Chang and Jhun.

Just deal with it. No roster will EVER please everybody, since having them all is impossible. Even if they moved to a super-powerful board, having the whole cast would mean the game would be completelly unplayable - with a dozen "Duo Lons" and twenty "Chois".

Well, Choi was popular because he was a scrub character. You could make the dorkiest design in the world, but if it's overpowered and scrubby, people will "like" the design.

Personally, I wish Choi would revert to his KOF95 style, which was quite fair, with supers form the later games (but not the Kim ripoff one)

as for handling a bunch of characters, Neowave had 44 and did fine with it, minus the load times (which are stupid, someone should have put more RAM in it). Oh well, hopefully it will get emulated someday so that the load times are gone/people will get to play it outside of Asia. Doubt the US will ever see this game outside of an import anyways.

That being said, I actually think XI has potential, especially if the judgement system isn't as bad as everyone says it will be.

As for another dream match- that will likely have to wait two more games, if SNK follows its current pattern, so, say , 2009?

I get that the roster needs to changed up but to me I feel as if they haven't put enough characters in it. Maybe it is because I first got into the series between '99 and '01 where they did have a few more characters but I feel they could at least have a team or two more. The only characters I am really missing are Leona, Joe and Andy, but even if they just added new characters in their spot I wouldn't feel the need to think that 33 seems small to me.

I feel it could easily be bigger, it isn't as if they haven't and don't have time to add the characters. KOF is no longer is on a yearly schedule not to mention spacing out the time between the release of this and NGBC can only give that game a better run (unless it sucks, which I hope isn't the case).

And as for iori and kyo been on the same team its not the 1st time their were together on kof03 unoffically if you will, as you know they were in the same team line in the character select screen with random inbetween them.
Which was really Chizuru spot if you play the game with those three u get the real ending to 03.
It actually goes further back than this beacuse kyo and iori had to join 2gether to defeat Orochi (97ending).
After that their beef kinda died down where as b4 iori actually wanted to kill kyo now he just wants to beat him. think as it of goku and vegeta beef if ur into dbz @ 1st vegeta wants 2 kill goku then he just wants 2 be better than him.

Its just the same kinda thing if you or any1 else have some spare time on yours hands i think you should catch up on the kof story which u can find here:

http://kattuggla.oru.se/dmd01/dm0103/test/faqs/king_of_fighters_story.txt

its pretty long so enjoy.

As for the roster debate i have to agree with time_stop as in your nevea going to plz everyone.
Of course characters pepz like get takin out every so often and the main stars like terry n ryo neva leave, why?
because that would be like leaving out kurt angle or HHH for wrestlemania, and that shit dont happen.
Id rather have a roster that i actually used most of the characters than one that has 50 and i use 4 of them *hint hint*

Besides i like how snk are freshing up the teams its bout time, if you miss the old set up then theirs always neowave and 2k2.

Woo! I never actually read the KOF story before so this should be good.
+1 for Oswald Pimp-ness.

Looks pretty nice, but, although I know saying this is redundant as hell now, I can't resist saying it again; I fucking wish they'd give their sprites a hi-res overhaul :(. When the sprites are that low-res compared to the HUD, it looks kinda ridiculous.

IMO, they should´ve at least have done the "Rebout" treatment on them (using a filter then retouching and adding detail):

But most fans hated it for some reason... :rolleyes:

Probably because they were based on KOF 94 sprites and the newer and more fluid (somewhat) KOF sprites.

Still, what does it matter?

To me it looks like the sprites have been anti-aliased, but that might just be due to the size of the pics.

They are. Both NGBC and FXI are anti-aliased.

But frankly, i prefer the "jaggy" look over the "blurry" look.

I meant doing the same thing they did in ReBout, but with the 2003 sprites instead. Seriously, it would look great. ReBout, even with the old 1994 animation, looks fantastic.

Yeah, I don't think it's too pretty either.

DM > [Cancel] > LDM.

where's hotaru?

She´s not even a fucking teenager yet, dude. Even Bao is way, way older than her.

EDIT:

It seems Elizabeth is Ash´s rival (which continues the tradition of rivals being introduced in the 2nd chapter of each saga).

gotcha thanks =x

x.o the hell? i thought bao was supposed to be like 10 in KOF 99, & hotaru was 16 in garou which was supposed to be set in 2008(?) so they'd be ABOUT the same age, right?

this KOF/garou merger has me so confused x.o i just want to bust out that final showdown-esque hump super on some KOF cats.

Oswald is 2d pimp of the year.I think snk has it when it comes to making original characters.

That's for damn sure. Down with the "SuperEagle" and the blurry, until they completely redraw everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) ala SF3, keep them the way they've been looking.


But other than that (and Kyo lacking Mu Shiki :tdown: ), the game looks sweet. Kula's back in, yay. :clap:

Oswald a P.I.M.P.? AGREED! Suits him well! Wonder if G-Unit'll draft him? Or maybe Joe's been drafted to G-Unit? Who knows?
BTW I dunno if anyone's noticed it yet, but in Jennet's artwork, her tatoo is on her left arm, but her sprite has it on her right arm.
Wha, Elizabith is Ash's rival? Proof plz :karate:
