Welcome back to the fightans talk, folks. Tonight we're apparently going to start a new contest for all the listeners. KD loves his fighting game music and wants to know if you do too. Six fighting game songs are playing through this episode as our intro, intermissions, and outro. Pay attention and take your shot, KD may give you a prize for getting good guesses. We'll be keeping a scoreboard at the bottom of the blog. The first person to guess a song gets the point for that song. You may only guess two songs per episode, so as to not steal the limelight for everyone else. Your points will add up over the course of the month. Person with the most points wins a prize. If KD cannot provide one, Wry Guy will.
In the interest of getting a better schedule we're going to push toward releasing the episodes earlier each time until we have a reasonable release date on Wednesday nights. If we can't make this happen expect Thursdays to be

It was a very awful, dark time in my life.
And while top-tier characters obviously also see a lot of use over there, you can find a couple of people who main almost every character in any game, no matter how awful people think they are (I'm under the impression that Gato is one of the, if not the most commonly used character in garou btw).
Though I admittedly still have not seen someone main Sean in 3S. :f
Also, podsumaki is the best podcast on dtoid atm.
Also, big dick punches.
Fact is nobody was buying. That's why Maximum Impact 3 was discontinued and KOF XIII will be the last KOF game if it doesn't receive sales. I'm only just now considering SNK and being ready to make a comeback and bring people back into the SNK side.
Trust me, I love SNK. My involvement in Podsumaki, the King of Fighters Love Letter, and my jumping on to the staff of Orochinagi.com are all because I want to help SNK succeed as a company. Still, I don't think the company is on steady enough financial footing right now. I'm hoping KOF XIII gives them a solid cash cow.
Also, KOF EX2 isn't developed by SNK. I think that's Takara. KOF 2002 was developed by Eolith, though I get some conflicting stories on how involved the original SNK staff members were under the name Playmore. That's a point of big interest to me actually, because I hope to understand the exact situation the KOF series was undergoing during KOF 2001, and how it might have affected the storyline.
To me EX2 is just a poor man's KOF 2000. I might be a little personally biased against it because KOF 99 and 2000 for me have incredible soundtracks and it's hard for me to listen to those soundtracks GBA-ified in KOF EX and EX 2. This is just the opinion game, though. From a technical standpoint KOF EX2 is easily one of the most impressive GBA fighters.
