Throw me into the wolves and I’ll come back the mayor of their city
The English in the game doesn't sound bad, but the JP stuff is like ingrained in me since 1999.
i just cant man lmao. no disrespect im sorry
@@doogies Nah man. No disrespect taken. Everybody has preferences. I'm just saying, judged on its own merits, the dub is fine.
At least it's not Maximum Impact, right? 😆 🤣
Real shit, it's not a bad dub. But hearing Terry in English doesn't work to me. If it ain't Engrish, I don't want it.
@@SporePunch Yeah man. I definitely feel that.
@@doogies It's just not SNK without Engrish. Krauser is the exception.
I've always found it commendable that SNK keeps making fighting games for oldheads, for lack of a better term. Samsho, KOF, and I'm hoping CotW all have a lot of that classic game design influence that make them feel fresh in a currently exploding market of these games.
I was unreasonably pleased when I heard that everyone's "secret super moves" have unique inputs. Just one of those things, I guess.
Yeah I agree
I am glad to see SNK making good decisions; it makes me want to break my boycott I started when Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud bought a controlling interest.
It’s not even the 1st time they did something like this either.
IIRC Fatal Fury 3 also had a similar concept, but the conditions to use them were _way_ more obtuse as well.
@@Wolfedge75Thanks for reminding me of how broken Blue Mary was in Real Bout Fatal Fury.
Inside me there is a City of Wolves, and it howls "ARE YOU OKAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
...BUSTERRRRRRRR WOL-
I love that they leaned even harder into the "2D animation" style instead of trying and failing to compete in "photorrealism". It's obviously no ArcSys imo, but it's unique, it looks really good and SNK gameplay rarely disappoints, so it's mad promising.
Edit: omfg it's A+B throw? That's fucking sick. I hope they lean into command normals instead of proximity normals as well, but that's probably wishful thinking on my part. Still, that's really good.
Yeah, it is like a different style entirely
Its not tryna look 2d, but is clearly inspired by it
Edit: Also, isnt kof like, the command normal fighting game? It has proximity normals but command normals are a big part of it, i always found that it made it easy to do combos as a newbie
@@doodoo2065 KOF has both, but definitely fewer command normals than BlazBlue or UNI. There's nothing wrong with proximity normals, btw, it's just a personal preference because the invisible activation range bugs me a lot, specially in characters with fast runs.
Few things have felt worse than running in with Millia, getting really close, and instead of getting a 50/50 from cS, you get fS, and now you're very negative in front of the opponent with a low health character because the fS cancel options are horrible from up close.
@@eduardoserpa1682 Ya i get that
Honestly i think thats the kind of stuff that should actually dissapear from fighting games if they rlly want to make them friendlier to new players
The problem is that KOF is too filled with mechanics so it's hard to think of a way to switch from the old school throw (SF2) to a combination button throw, that started later. There are already vital mechanics set to ab and cd and abc, and there are ex moves.
Since a long time I think that SNK should sit down and brainstorm a solution to redefine those mechanics inputs, not removing anything, and leave a room to a double button throw. To me it's an important little step for the game, that's already close to 30 years old. Maybe even at the cost of inventing brand new buttons for the game, to create more possibilities of button combinations. It just doesn't need to be actual new attack buttons. I don't want SNK games to be 6 button games in the same sense of SF, but it might be important to create a new "gimmick" button that leads to different mechanics according to different combinations, in order to leave a room for an "ab" throw.
Its more like their 3D modelers/artists took time and experience to get that consistent look and effects that translate from MOTW. All their experience from KOF 14/XV and Samsho in terms of graphical fidelity has finally come together. Also seems to capture Tonko/Aki Senno's modern style with well defined hard shadows.
> I don't know why I love that Fallout Boy BS
You grew up with Linkin Park Dragonball AMVs and they hit you right there. 😂
Damn u might be right lmao
Glad SNK is pursuing their own graphical style instead of trend chasing.
I don't want every fighting game looking the same.
Also this is a gaming genre that established these ways of working with art styles since the beginning. SF2, then SF3, and Marvel, and Jojo, and 2d MK, and KI, and AOF, KOF and Samsho (mainly since 3) most notably pursuing unique looks. Also in early 3d age, SF EX and Rival Schools wanted to look clearly more cartoony than VF, TK and SE/SC. And as 3d progressed VF and TK showed an inclination to a more realistic feel while SC and DOA showed an inclination to more "3d anime" feel. These artistic nuances in their execution of 3d started to show.
And now there are options to go from Arc Systems art style to the MK art style at the other extreme, with a fairly decent number of art style variations (i mean for an industry that's way more limited in different fgs than in the 90s).
To me it's important that this art style diversity is respected and pursued by the companies, and that part of the public is sensible about that matter (maybe the older fg fans but whatever). Not all gaming genres can be entirely like this one, where every major dev is able to respect that matter.
To be fair I can't think of any fighting games in the last few years that look similar to each other. They all have different aesthetics.
@@RokkouA1 I'm referring to people that are like 'I want Arcsys to buy out SNK and make KOF and FF from now on'.
That sounds like an very quick way for me to get sick of Arcsys, which I already kinda am ngl.
I think they capture Tonko/Aki Senno's art style well for the FG. She did art for Metal Slug Attack.
I feel the same way.
For me this is one of the best looking fighting games i've ever seen, character lighting is so good.
Same here. This, arc system works, and french bread have some of the most appealing fighters in terms of visuals.
On another note, when the Akuma gameplay trailer drops, us animation nitpickers want to see if, 'in your words', he "rotates that shit"...
Lmao
The fact it's already a bold statement to bringing back feints and break moves, they'd even crank it up that mechanics to make it more interresting. Man, gameplay-wise (and SOUND-wise) I never doubt them. Can't wait for 2025!
facts. lets goooo
That Falloutboy music do be hitting
the characters absolutely "pop" out more
looking back to kof15/14, it felt like the characters blended in with the background a bit too much
so this is a very welcome change!
The idea that its made for fighting gamers has been my outlook on snk in the modern age. It sucks they dropped the ball on matchmaking in kof15, but that game reminded me that I suck at real fighting games and been having my hand held by devs in recent history. I love it. Actually having to put time in to get better and seeing improvement is a sublime experience. Also glad it looks like they may have truly delivered in the art department for the first time since the jump to 3D imo
I have to give my congratulations to SNK, I thought they would go the "strive" route and erase all the mechanics that defined the franchise, especially considering that this is the first FF in 25 years, I think very few people would have complained if that had been the case. but instead they not only brought mechanics from 25 years ago, but also expanded and polished them, add to that a new control system so that new players can integrate into the game faster, I think this is a W for everyone.
At least from this early look it seems like a better balance between boomer appealing feel and a zoomer appealing feel, than SF6's attempt.
“Fallout Boy shit!” That took me out 😂😂😂☠️💀
That song goes CRAZY
I'm not gonna demand SNK drop the full theme song now or anything, but I need that shit ASAP 🔥
Will the old heads finally be satisfied with a new game? What zoomer mechanics do we have to look forward to? Find out next time in the City of Wolves!
I would buy a bootlegged vhs season boxset of that with crypto
As long as my boi Terry got those beffy HP > Feint > HP combos im gooooood
Edit: Apparently he does, so im buying this shit
Peep that Jwong match footage, he's got it
He does
That title got me good, I'll give it up 🤣
This game definitely feels like the natural progression for a modern Fatal Fury game. A lot of mechanics making a return from both Mark of the Wolves and Real Bout 2 makes this feel like a true successor to the series instead of just being a MotW reboot. I hope that also extends into the character roster as well with a lot of returning characters from both games. It's also worth noting that MotW was the first game Oda had a large role in. He's credited as a planner in the game. Maybe he feels more involved because it's a followup to one of the first games he ever got real credit for.
Oda started in the mid 90s but in smaller roles, and Garou was his first major role. He's a key figure about many aspects of that game.
The sequel was cancelled because SNK was dieing. And he went to Dimps and didn't return to SNK right when it returned in 03, and he ended up being the gameplay designer of SF4. And after that work was done he went to SNK work on KOF 14 and so on.
Since a long time he expressed the desire of returning to the FF franchise to work on the "MOTW" timeline. But FF is a dead and buried franchise, that totally lost to KOF in popularity since the late 90s... so I guess that means something hard to convince the SNK higher ups. That is a company with limited resources after all, and even KOF, their strongest game, is struggling to reach the minimal quality standards to avoid falling too much behind the competition. But finally FF was greenlit... and that means Oda must be taking the project very seriously.
Never got to play much Garou back in the day. Looking forward to this.
Then play it if you really are curious. It's on current platforms via a rerelease with rollback. And there's always the path of emulator anyway.
I'm glad you like the music. I hope they release that early. Cause it's gonna be in my head for a while.
My first time checking out one of your videos after seeing the Tekken 8 carried video with Kizzy.
Great video!! Thumbnail was dope asf to.
Welcome aboard!
You know how it is, SNK is the company that sticks to the roots of their fighting games the most of all the long-standing developers and CotW seems to be no exception. Definitely hoping I can make it to Evo Japan to try it!
This might be the prettiest fighting game I’ve ever seen ong, this game gonna FUCK
Really? It’s looks good but it ain’t groundbreaking.
@@rexthewolf3149 I just really fuck with it. Gives me heavy MVC3 vibes and I love the style of that game.
Its like an evolution of MvC3's artstyle
The black shadows are way more defined, and characters have a nice ambient light on their backs that makes them stand out against the background
it aint the prettiest but its "good"
@@doogies this shit like an In-N-Out burger to me, man, I can’t get enough of
Love your headgear. Keep up the work
As a Garou MOW player, im SO FUCKNG BACK too
I agree with you on the JP, I've played Fatal Fury 3 and Real Bout for so long thats the cast I'm familiar with. I wish they brought back Mark Hildreth as Terry as that's the only English actor I would take for him
Obama that singer for the music trailer sounds like the lead of Sleeping with Sirens 🤔 we really gonna be transported back to the Spencer’s/HotTopic era. That shit sounds hard.
Game looks sick and I'm glad SNK is not afraid of including old mechanics.
I hope they bring back Grant because Rev Accel combos with EX DP into EX Divekick would be ridiculous damage and I need that shit lmao
Nah, those counterhit into big kick super into another big kick supers bring me a ptsd lol. Let him rest in peace because he's already dead lorewise
@@hardinal2599boom snk make him back saying his only injured lmao😂
Duuuuuude I'm so stoked for this game. Wanna see Dong Hwan come back
Arh yuoKAYY?!
Man you cant beat Terry's engrish
Also i never thought 2.5d would ever look good but the way you pointed out the comic book effect opened my eyes to its beauty 🔥
I hope this game does well, it's looking really fun.
I knew that COTW would look good. But I didnt know it would look this flashy.
I really love that they went with outlines since it just makes the characters pop out more even with all the effects on screen. I’m digging the art direction a lot.
Same
It looks very good, the only thing I didn't like but they still have time to work on it is the background, they will need to apply some level of cel shading to it to match the characters.
You wondered on twitch vod what tizoc was doing during the bullet time, it is his down AB invincible on upper body, all garou motw character have this.
I guess they gave it a bullet time if you avoid an attack to allow you to confirm into super easily ( on motw super didn't come out if down AB hit on guard so you could option select it with the super all the time with no risk, i guess now it's not possible anymore but you have bullet time for easy confirm instead)
wowwww okay thats tight!
"Please, Justin, you KNOW I got that thumbs up and sub"
LMAO
I'm psyched for this game. I think it looks gorgeous, and I hope it sells like hotcakes.
we're going Into The Wolves-verse, gonna be an all-timer
Glad you’re excited, thanks for taking a look at this Obama
Can't wait!
I think the game looks really nice, they just need to tweak the motion blur + a few other things and it will be really cool
I know exactly what you mean by the Fallout Boy shit. Made me unnecessarily hyped watching the trailer when it kicks in.
This. THIS is the Garou/SNK game I'm getting.
Been wanting to buy one of their games, man. This one looks the most interesting to get in on, And my boy Rock isn't just an anachronistic throw-in (though I appreciated every time they got him in the line-up by hook or by crook, lol). Smart company.
Stage looks much better, makes a big difference.
I'm glad that all they showed has had a very positive reception. Snk really made the right on the graphics, if you don't have the budget to make the most high quality character models or hyper realistic textures go strong on the art style. Also I love that they are bringing back unorthodox super inputs, even if it's only for the hidden supers
Out of all the modern SNK titles KOF15 felt rushed a bit. I knew that covid and the aquisition would slow developement for KOF15. The other SNK titles had more effort, more content, and more time behind them despite the smaller budget. SNK is putting most of their effort on COTW which is why I don't expect a season 3 for KOF15. It definetely shows for both titles.
When it comes to recurring series' I mainly look forward to old characters coming back first, then maybe a few new characters. But with this game I look forward to new characters, the concept art for the canceled sequel got me intrigued. I mainly played Rock in garou but you know how that turned out lol, so I'm hoping to find a new main with this entry.
8:39 got me weak 😂
people need to know that a limitation graphics-wise doesn't necessarily mean it looks bad. i hope they crank up the stylization more because i think they did wonderfully with the samsho having the inky-okami-calligraphy art style.
SNK just can't afford to match the type of visual standards constantly pursued by SF, MK and TK. So the only hope is to look elsewhere and focus on that other direction on purpose, and do a good job on that.
It's not true that only that style gets attention... And the proof is actually been known since GG Xrd, and most notably the PS4 form of that style, present in successful releases like DBFZ and GGST. So that is the proof that alternative art styles have a space... It just needs to be an extremely good job.
SNK's problem is more precisely not having realized that situation and fully invested in that "stylish 3d" direction since the development of KOF 14. They could have tried something to spice up the graphics... I dont know exactly what would work best for KOF, but anything would have been a big help to KOF 14, that was awful to look at in the PS4 gen.
Hopefully the general public reaction to this Garou art style convinces SNK to invest even more seriously in the stylish 3d direction for KOF 16. Because by the late 2020s (estimated release) I believe the public will not be able to forgive a bland looking game anymore, taking already into account future games (maybe a new VF, maybe a new SC, surely a new NRS game, etc).
As someone who doesn't know too much about Garou seeing how cool this game looks and hearing oldheads talk positively about it makes me very excited. Now I have an excuse to finally check out MotW and see what's up
I mean, there are no excuses because of the existence of easy, accessible and efficient emulation resources to get to play the game. The NeoGeo emulation was mastered probably since the very early 00s or so.
dont wait, just boot up motw now and get ready for it. game is fun!
Need to see what Jenet and Mary cookin in this game my B queens need to both be here !🔥
this song has me...
Hey alright, never realized how much Majin and Aris speak alike.
Tekken 8 looks very good but, I have always thought that Street Fighter 6 looked weird. It looks realistic and it has an art style. But it doesn't mesh well. COTW looks very good and it's art style meshes very well. I wish capcom would make some kind of cell shaded fighter.
This game looks beautiful
The Filters makes this New Fatal Fury Game look like a Western Comic Book.
Yeah I agree
Stylization Is more important than graphical fidelity. People still talk about how JSR, Okami, Paper Mario looked. Those games have ass graphical fidelity by today's standards.
You understand
I'm really into this! Just give me Marco Rodriguez and Hokutomaru and I buy it day one no excuses givem.
Also, every fighting game needs a inside a bar or dirty backstreet stage. Those are the best.
Used to play Garou a bunch on the Dreamcast. Burned GD ROM disc. Glad to see JD and air JD is back. Air defensive mechanics are fun. Makes AA more interesting
Oh yeah; the man I've been waiting for to comment on this game; come on!
Game looks amazing in comparison to kof15 (yeah, not a high bar). Definitely more pleasing than sf6's pseudo-realistic style.
For KOF or for classic FF, that is Terry's arc, this music doesnt work... but for Garou MOTW, where the star is Rock Howard, it really works well. I wasn't impressed (yet) but i can understand and appreciate these decisions and musical directions.
Do we know if this game got kof style short hops and/or super jumps?
I find it funny how modern SNK titles have so many things done poorly, but at the same time the gameplay works so well that you feel the same weird feeling you felt all those years ago playing fighting games for the first time. Its like a familiar smell from you childhood and it just feels right.
Really cool seeing you be cautiously optimistic but also wanting to go "ALL IN!", like you said adding stuff for newcomers to muck around with like training, minigames etc would be a step in the right direction.
If I had any criticism it's the same I had with early SF6 footage, some of the effects make you lose sight of your character/too big, but they toned it down at the end so the same might happen here. For returnees I know for sure Marco Rodrigues gotta get his invite, also is this like Rock Howard's "Final Form", man's got a power geyser AND air fireballs?!
I don't care how the game turns out in the end. At least us Tizoc players can actually play the game now that there isn't a throw glitch there to screw us over
they're doing something right because I've never played garou or kof really and i'm hype. I've watched the trailer with that falloutboy song like 10 times.
It took wolfs to get those dawgs back in em
This game looks fantastic
One if those styles you can come back to and will still look good
I haven't played a SNK game since cvs2 (does that count?). I'm so down for this
People now retroactively saying that KOFXV "looks bad", or "outdated", or "generations behind", when these same people said the game looked great and was a huge jump over XIV upon release is just your usual internet reactionary bullshit.
KOFXV was a huge jump over KOFXIV, yet still not visually keeping up with anything ArcSys or even Bamco was putting out at the time because XIV was *just that far behind.* Two things can be true at the same time. People are only coming forth with this kind of sentiment because CotW looks like it’ll be the first SNK fighter since KOFXIII to be on par with if not leading the industry at the time of release-IF, of course, they maintain this current art direction while continuing to polish the finer details.
It comes from a place of excitement for SNK’s past and future after a rough patch between XIII’s astronomical development cost, XIV’s graphics, Samsho’s unfortunate pandemic + bad netcode combo, and KOFXV’s matchmaking and input issues at launch. Hopefully you can share in the widespread enthusiasm for SNK’s industry-defining potential to finally *NOT* be wasted on some dealbreaker or unfortunate circumstance like their past half dozen or so titles.
@@Sakaki98 I don't like it that people are ragging on KOFXV to build up City of the Wolves, when there is nothing wrong with the way XV looks; the character models especially are great and still holds up (Max for one said Mai looked the best she ever had, and constantly glowed about how great the game looked when the trailers were dropping on a weekly basis, but now he's one of those saying how outdated the visuals are - which is typical internet reactionary bullshit).
The reason KOFXIII was an industry leader was because SNK employed all of their expertise in traditional sprite work to deliver perhaps the most beautiful sprite-based fighting game there has ever been; it had nothing to do with being on the cutting edge of technology. That's not SNK's history anyways. ArcSys and Capcom etc. are much more about displaying the very latest tech, while SNK has always been more about style and charisma, because they have arguably the greatest roster of characters in all of fighting games (something that City of the Wolves is foregrounding in a big way).
I'm very glad that people are excited about how City of the Wolves is looking and shaping up, but I don't like that they're doing revisionist history and making as if KOFXV is a PS3 era game or some shit, when almost all of them were applauding the game's visuals as a major updgrade - almost a generational leap - over XIV when it came out.
Kof 15 is ugly and washed out color pallette. This looks fantastic and stylized.
kofxv somehow looks pretty good and also like total shit at the same time lets be real. those imaginary people youre talking about just came to their senses is all. this is way better
@@Nostalgiaforinfi We must not be looking at the same game, then. Maybe check your monitor settings.
I'm glad you liked this look, you were cooking XV back then 😂
cook what you love. XV one of my favs this gen. im just tight it went down how it did
Need Yamazaki and Blue Mary in this game, asap.
First fighting game I've been excited for in over 5 years or so(pc beta please).
I have no problem with the English dub it was just very surprising that they got it at all, also I like how the game looks and everything except for Terry's Buster Wolf it just looks bad and small
This game looks like what Street Fighter Alpha 4 would look like if it was ever made
my only hope is that my boy duck king make it hes really cool
For some reason I never understood what was hype about Garou (or 3S for that matter) but with more insight on these new mechanics it at least seems unique enough. Hopefully they do something like that for KOF.
this comment had me going in the first half. why not just try kof and try this? they are different...its fine
@@doogies I might've worded my statement wrong. I like that they're doing new stuff to distance COW from KOF, both mechanically and stylistically (I'm one of three people who would like lanes back though) and I hope that by the next KOF we do get something that makes it different from the previous ones instead of being stuck in the '98/'02/XIII loop forever. Hell it'd be a good idea to bring back tags like in XI.
I really think the style that they're going for works really well, but I think the special effects on the supers need some work. Right now, a lot of the supers look a bit dull to me. Looking forward to giving the game a try though.
I think that must be partly because they are still the same old moves from the 90s, invented with 2d animation in mind and the NeoGeo standards in mind as well. I think devs needed to spice things up a bit in the way they feel and not emulate them 100%. But SNK just has traditionalist tendencies, there's nothing to do about that. And that attitude clearly has good sides and bad sides.
Fair enough!
Rev Guard is basically a necessary for people who have 0 idea how to deal with feint cancels, I dig it
I just hope they show this game off at a bigger event than evo. They need to reach a bigger audience than the Fgc market and show people their game capcom and Bandai already figure this out SNK need s to step up or we’re in another KOF XV or samsho situation
fierst
2:21 there are girls that really look like her in Asia I had an ex Filipino to look exactly like her don't hate😂
a few seconds in and you already dropped the based line: "english? hell naw"
Garou was the first SNK game I really loved, and I think it's because it feels way more like a Street Fighter game than any other SNK fighter. It's like they saw SF III, and said "We can do better than that, and on hardware from 1990!"
I just hope they get both the netcode AND MATCHMAKING correct, or it'll be dead on arrival like so many other games.
I do like the different names they are coming up with to make simple mode sound better
Man I can't wait to get smoked in this game this shit looks nut
I want to see what they do with Billy Kane. He's in the promo art, so he is almost definitely going to he in the roster.
My man hasn't really been relevant since KOF 2k2 and Real Bout 2. He was alright in KOF 13 but needed more than what he got. It's like SNK is afraid to make him good.
But I want to see what they do with him in this updated MotW framework. They can't just give him a couple of options here. They need to give him that Real Bout sauce he had where he could mix the opponent and play at all ranges.
But to be totally fair, it's totally legitimate to feel concerned about the strength of a weapon user in a "regular fg" (without weapons) and preferring the safety of keeping him nerfed.
@carlosaugusto9821 - In a regular FG, sure. But this is Garou, not KOF. This is SNK's answer to Street Fighter. We had multiple rows to go back and forth on to play neutral. And when that got taken away, we scooped up Parry from SF3 and made it better. Billy Kane, Lawrence Blood, and Sokaku all had weapons and were never busted.
All I'm saying is if they make Billy with a KOF mindset, we'll have a Remy in the roster. A character with no options in a system that is actively against his playstyle. I want this guy to be a threat again.
you know damn well why Fall Out Boy hits bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Btwn this, HxH, T8 I'm locked in for 2025!
ONE TIME FOR BABY GIRL! Please bring her back
The English vo jump scare.
I've been scarred before. Never again
Joel Perez fatal fury city of the wolves
Feels they learnt a lot from kof, digging way more the visuals for this
It looks nice!
Would love for them to add Mr. Karate!
Depends on who you are talking about. [SNK lore nerd lecture incoming...]
The Takuma version of Mr Karate, the original char, and the one who got in SVC Chaos and KOF 13, he can't appear because he is too old. KOF has its own universe and is free to do whatever it wants with chars from other universes like AOF and FF.
But the reality is that outside the fanservice SNK universe of KOF, in the AOF-FF universe, AOF is a prequel to FF by a difference of a decade. That means in the classic FF timeline, before Garou MOTW, everyone you know from AOF is already 10 years older... And naturally even older in the MOTW timeline. And in the classic FF timeline Ryo already became the new Mr Karate... It's no longer Takuma.
Even the song is broken
its good
It looks like they took KOF15 and gave it a lot more drip, which is fine. The game looks really nice. They put a lot of detail into the special effects, lighting, and backgrounds as if they were using 2D graphics. But about those backgrounds though, they already look better then any other fighter out right now. The people in the backgrounds don't look like ps2 characters (cough tekken8 sf6 sorry).
SNK just can't afford to match the type of visual standards constantly pursued by SF, MK and TK. So the only hope is to look elsewhere and focus on that other direction on purpose, and do a good job on that.
The way i see it, SNK's problem is more precisely not having realized that situation much earlier and fully invested in that "stylish 3d" direction since the development of KOF 14. They could have tried something to spice up the graphics... I dont know exactly what would work best for KOF, but anything would have been a big help to KOF 14, that was awful to look at in the PS4 gen. That outcome could have prevent (at least a little) the damage to SNK's reputation in the modern era as a maker of famous games that however look indie level.
Hopefully the general public reaction to this Garou art style convinces SNK to invest even more seriously in the stylish 3d direction for KOF 16. Because by the late 2020s (estimated release of KOF 16) I believe the public will not be able to forgive a bland looking game anymore, taking already into account future games (maybe a new VF, maybe a new SC, surely a new NRS game, etc).
Their best effort by far,still a lil iffy on some effects which is where they struggle the most. Busta wolf looking a lil lacking. They need to learn to slow fade-away effects after it appears and not just flash it away
Also ex into ex move (kof15) is kinda limiting. Yeah you can cancel specials into special but we know specific specials should be cancelles into specific special for the combos to work. So that makes the combos very and repetitive,its why i kinda left kof15. All the matches looked the same,especially when its mirror matches.
im sleeping until i see my man kain im trying to get annoying with that flash kick feint
8:59 I haven't been playing every new fighting game that's been coming out on the market but who is doing this besides asw? Street fighter players seem to love 6, mortal kombat was never designed with people who love fighting games and honestly I don't know shit about tekken 8. UNI 2 has been scratching that new fighting game itch for me but yet again it's not really that new. Curious to know if I missed something
I'm so excited for this game!! Just subscribed, because you're clearly based
Appreciate ya
