Agreed.
Altho Char summed it up pretty well.
Also yes, street fighter is a better game all around.
I only care about KOF because of Capcom vs SNK2. Can't stop my Kyo. nope. cant do it.
Street Fighter has always been better, but SNK still has it's charm.
Except a lack of invincibility frames. Come on, SNK. Please?
I dunno. But I want my damn Mai.
I'll miss Yuri and Mai, but Vice is my baby mama. Withering Surface FTW!
So basically it's just some of the poster KoF/SNK characters, half of the story characters, and then a randomly bad mix of random characters.
no K? phail. no Kula? phail. Taking Elizabeth out makes no sense. Oswald was a pretty cool ass character also. I'm also rather baffled Raiden snuck in over a lot of the regulars as Raiden has no popularity whatsoever.
I don't understand this list. I would've taken more pushbacks for more characters easily. I'm rather interested to see how they're going to make this closure of the saga.
In any event, if the game looks as good as it's supposed to, and the roster (such as it is) is well-balanced, perhaps with some sort of pseudo-"groove" setup to allow for a bit of character tweaking (which I'll take over waste-of-space clones any day of the week), I won't find myself with too much reason to complain. I'm still willing to wait.
@Bullet Magnet
I doubt that game will have anything close to clones. (IIRC, 99 was the closest to Clone characters i've seen in the KoF series with the useless Kyo 1 and 2.).
now if anything, SNK needs to stop goofin around and put K9999, Angel, and May Lee back in a game.
Samurai Spirits Sen delivers but KOF XII.... I hope 20 characters aren't it I really do.
For one thing Storywise this roster makes no sense. Fan favorite wise....this roster makes no sense. and other 3 year wait for the next one........I think KOF should die.
Oh well I prefer Street Fighter anyways :)
saying SNK doesn't care what the fans want is complete utter BS. The fact we're getting new sprites alone say something as Fans have been screaming for years to get rid of the same reused Neo Geo sprites. Seriously, Iori's sprite is one of the most reused oldest sprites SNK has to offer. It was to the point they meshed KoF 98 Iori's head for his walking animation for the KoF 2002 Iori head for the standind animation in SvC: Chaos.
The wait was for the artwork. The reason we're getting a 20 man cast is cause the artwork took quite some time to do. Granted, i'd love to have them push it back for more time and characters as stated. But meh. I suppose the console release will add the rest of the "maybe planned" characters and the next KoF will be ready to go with the new animation for the real cast.
The only way the Ash Saga will make sense is if the other main characters (like you know...Elizabeth, Adel, Rose...) make a cut scene appearance or if either of the 3 become a mid-boss/boss. (and i'm gonna assume Rose is to be a possible Mid-boss if we're sticking to the things we know from KoFXI). Otherwise this will need to be pushed into 1 more game which would make it the longest KoF Saga to date.
