Commercially, maybe. However, imo, 2d games visually have aged very well given the genre's reliance on quality of artwork rather than polygon pushing. This may become an important factor in the future as many generic next-gen titles start to look indistinguishable from one another as they strive for nothing but realism and the latest in graphical techniques. Maybe this will work in 2d's favour? That's a good point and something I had never really thought about. A video fo King, Kensou and B.Jenet laying the smackdown on Magaki. Might help!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClEj-TCVjakdmac: It seems unlikely that it will get a stateside release at the moment, mainly because of Sony USA's policies on 2D games; they won't allow many to be released unless they are budget titles or double packs, as they don't meet their "standards". It's crap, but there you go, unless SNK figure some way of getting the game out, or putting it into a double pack, it's unlikely to get a release. An xbox release probably would have been possible, but it seems they have given up on that console now.  The most ironic thing in all of this is the fact that it's the best KOF in years, and way better than any of the previous games that they have managed to release stateside. My only advice is to try and get your PS2 modded in some way so that you can play it, because otherwise you might be in for long wait. I'm still not sure whether I'd call this my favourite KOF ever, time will tell on that... but damn, at the moment it is close, and if you look through this thread and most threads on other sites, you'll see most people seem to agree with that.

I know- irony is quite well, ironic (pardon the pun) but in all honesty I was disappointed with the '00/01 double pack, and didnt get the '02/'03 pack( i downloaded them). And I can just tell, that this so far is an amazing KOF, a game that'll finally be a supreme KOF imo. Also the music seems amazing as compared to the horror that was the music in '01' and the subpar tracks in '02 (all just my opinion) Sony needs to get this game out to the States!!!!!!!!!! It'd be an injustice, to every 2d fighting gamer, KOF lover, or just fighting maniacs in general! Maybe, they may double it with NGBC, but I dont really wanna get my hopes up. And btw, Kaz: thxs for having the best SNK site on the web,period!

Thxs, Goemon. Btw- i know that this is a KOF XI thread, but does anyone think that the striker system from '99-'01 could've been done much better? The strikers only had one way to attack, and the damage was pathetic. Hell, Marvel basically took that idea and ran with it! I guess maybe thats why, the change from the striker system to the tag style of gamplay felt so good imo. Storywise, it looks everything from the previous KOF's are coming full circle, including Nests! Anyone think, Ash will become a major villain after XII?

I hope you get to kill Ash in the next one. That alone would be worth the price of admission for many people I think.
Also, I just got this game in last night and stayed up til 6 in the morning with it. I really like it but I have a couple a gripes. Firstly, Vanessa (my favorite char) just feels, I dunno, weird. I don't mind the loss of the parry puncher but her telelports don't give me that satisfying feeling they used to. Maybe that will change. The other, and by far bigger one, is that I can't seem to do a freaking half-circle. I mean, what the hell is going on here? I tried my saturn, snk 2, and sf anniv controllers and the only one I remember having any luck with was the snk 2 (which I'd really prefer not using since other motiions are difficult on it). Is anyone else having trouble?

I hope they put Lee from aof/NGBC into the next kof, that guy rules in that game and is one of my favourite characters.

So who is still playing this one? I've been practicing with about every character and still enjoying myself. After spending alot of time (too much time) training with Gato, Kula, & Silber i am definately feeling that snk really needs to work alot more on character balance in the next release.

(though that's pretty much a given) I've been really enjoying using Mary, maybe even more then in any kof yet. (she's very quick and great at punishing button mashers) |

Momoko has a bunch of crap she doesn't need. Like 9 versions of deadly rave(WTF?). Malin is cool as like always although I can't find the color I want for her. I saw this one in a vid that had a very dark outfit with blonde hair but I don't know which buttons to press. I wish somebody had a color chart for this game.

That's the only one that is close to fitting your description that i can see. The kof Conquerors Guide has them all mapped out but i usually don't feel like checking it when i'm playing so i've pretty much tried them all one by one for the characters i use frequently. Anyways, have you been able to play well with Oswald? I know he has an infinite and is supposed to be quite good but i can hardly get anything going with him. |

I just figured out why I couldn't find it. I tried the first 8 colors with the normal buttons and L1 but I still haven't tried the 4 with start. Every character has 12 colors! Haven't touched Oswald yet but a friend of mine who plays him kicked my ass badly. His corner rushdown is nuts. |
