KoF XII vids spotted in wild. Come hither.
Shin Oni | 2:20 PM on 12.03.2008 25 comments


We know the full cast (which isn't a impressive one from SNK) but we get over it. Overall the game looks awesome in play. A few of the vids. (not great quality even in high quality...but you can see.)







the game itself is shapin to look hot. Though just a few notes:

- Clark/Ralph seriously look like they're on steroids. They're fucking huge. That's compared to most of the men in the game getting the muscle buff.

- Goro's ultra tall. Like...really.

- Iori's new playstyle looks interesting. But of course not much is shown in that vid cause whoever is playing aren't that good.

- Kensou's throwback outfit (original Psycho Soldiers outfit) looks rather hot. I've slowly began to like Kensou over the years.

- Ash is sexy still. I think the art overhaul just made the french = rape now.

- Joe's newly done stance is hot. Tiger kick looks ultra fast now (looks like the strong kick version.) Joe also may be somewhat passable with the supers being how they are now.

- Raiden...lol. what a waste SNK.

- Supers are back to being a threat now that they have no pause frame animation. So if you don't see the startup or the small flash indication on the character, you're fucked.

Overall, I'm not really complaining. Even though there's a lack of characters, I know it's for the art reason (which is compeltely understandable in my book.) But this means KoFXIV will be a complete ultimate dreammatch to rival KoF 98 right SNK?

There's also more vids from the youtube user and other (and somewhat better quality) vids from other people from the youtube jump.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

No, no, and NO!

I want to hate this game because my baby mama Vice is not in it. But I will play it and love it, because Raiden is a favorite of mine too.

But no Mai really hurts. Needs more bounce!

...Raiden. you sir phail.

everyone's generally hurting from the cast list. But this is why i assume the next game to be rather big.

Also, vice is dead. so unless they make some half baked Capcom/Namco Story BS to make Mature and Vice come back, you're stuck with 98, 02, and the Orochi saga.

I can't wait to see this game in HD. It's looking pretty amazing to be honest.

@Shin Oni

Why the Raiden hate? KoF has so little true Heavy (think Zangief) grapplers and so many light (think SF3 Alex) grapplers.

And I thought Vice was still alive via a retcon? Or am I too blinded by my love for Vice?

Clark is in the game. It is now a must buy for me.

And I understand the Raiden hate. He's a terrible character. Could have put Tizoc in instead.

And when is Rock finally going to be in the KOF series. It's been long enough.

I would say the latter for Vice. As I want a Mature return.

Raiden phails for a big character in KoF. Granted SNK do lack grapplers outside the usual Ralph and Clark. You have Goro who's way better than Raiden. I'd even prefer Maxima even though I can't use him.

oh...and then there's Tizoc. Who completely makes his appearance in the last KoF game and then offed...for Raiden i'm sure.

Even Duck King made a return and people eat up Duck King. But he's not a grappler so lets leave him out.

I forgot about Maxima. He was on my main team in XI. He had some sick lead-ins to his super.

I'm just glad I'm able to ground pound with Daimon again.

One thing I miss with the post '98 games is the teams in the background. Just for the sheer fact that when you ground pound with Daimon, they collapse.

I like grapplers. :P

Joe fucking kicks ass.. I dont know what your talking about!

I meant with getting them off easily. Joe overall is an awesome character, but his hurricane super has horrible startup time and the pause animation in past KoF games makes it the super not worth using.

Joe's awesome seeing I use him. Anyone who full moon's their opponent gets win in my book.

fail on the double post.

Yea, I think the best game hes been in (at least the best version) was Capcom vs SNK 2. that double cyclone? DISGUSTING

Shin and others: You guys know your KoF, I barely played the series myself (although I am enjoy Mark of the Wolves lately) and I gotta ask: How can you best sum up the difference between KoF and SF in terms of fighting and gameplay? What does KoF do differently than Street Fighter?

This may be a lot to ask since both series' mechanics are pretty deep but I was just curious as I may have (read: need) to pick up KoF12 when the time comes :D

-finally, after 12 years Iori gets new clothes.
-SNK, get rid of Duo-Lon. guy pisses me off to no end.
-Ralf and Clark are hella roided up, I guess they bulked up after fighting in the Metal Slug games.
-Chin looks awesome, and I never used Chin in the past.

Wow that degree of animation is almost unsettling...

@ Puppy Licks

SNKs fighters have always been much deeper, as far as having characters with completely different fighting styles and moves. As where Capcoms fighters are not the same, but if you know how to handle a particular character, chances are you can fair with other characters as well.

Plus SNK fighters are structured around team based play. Never really one on one. I mean not always, but predominantly 3 or more characters.

KoF gameplaywise is more "cool" stylish looking from what I understand. I'm not AS good in KoF games as I am with SF but I can hold my own.

SF on the other hand is pretty straightforward. Not as crazy with the combos (minus combo vids. but most combo vids are just for show as juggles after a certain hit in any game = damage toning.)

Also KoF is pretty known for having a damn good storyline for a fighter.

Looking extremely sweet, but the question will forever remain in my mind "WHY THE **** DID THEY ADD RAIDEN?!?!?". I can't wait to see more of Iori's new style, it looked like he was about to initiate the Maiden Masher in that vid.

yea i'm really curious to see how it'll be now. If the main bit of it is still in tact and the finish changed or if it's a completely different rush combo.

I am really like the throwback outfits they did for Kensou and Athena. Also finally Andy and Joe are back in the game. Hosently though, I really want Rock Howard in there

Thanks for the info guys, I shall now continue to fap to this game until it comes out :)

so apparently this KoF won't be doing anything with the story...hence the lack of well...story characters.

so it looks like we'll have to wait for the REAL KoF XII with KoF XIII.

@Puppy Licks,

Do you have a PS2 or BC PS3? Why not buy KoFXI? Its probably around 10-15 bucks now.

Or if you have a DS and a NOT R4, grab NeoDS and find some NOT games at a bay where pirates hang out. That's how I get my daily commuting fix of KoF 2002.
