quick post from a net cafe near work.

unannounced normal characters (were in a team) = svc athena, mars people.
unannounced boss/sub boss characters (were by themselves) = king lion, mizuchi (the boss from kof 97, the one chris turns into in a super iirc).

more tonight when i get home.

haha, cool!

I like the design of SVC Athena, but i hope she has a new movelist...

Pardon the ignorance, but who's King Lion?

King of the impossible bosses from Savage Reign/Kizuna.

It sucks that the normal characters are the ones from SVC. Also, is Mizuchi supposed to be Mizuki from Samurai Spirits?

I'm happy that Orochi is in the game...if that's what you mean by the boss from kof97

Awesome, I can't wait to hear how this game plays. I hope bare NBC will be sold :drool_2:

I hope they touched up Athena's sprite from SvC as it was rather...smudgey.

King Lion = badass x a billion

DevilRedeemed · Jan 20, 2005

mars people is stupid beyond belief. that brings things down a notch for me. hope to god it doesn't play like SvC either..

the hit sounds are from SvC
Guard Cancel steps are in
dash instead of run
E to tag
236E to do double Assault
three super bars
will post move list too

(not too sure about below)
Last boss is either Shin Lion King or Mizuchi(a copy and paste of Orochi)

Athena and Mars ppl are mid-bosses

well.. as long as its not completly broken and hit detection is (almost) perfect, I'll overlook this.

Celes · Jan 20, 2005

so far the loke test is a little dissapointing, but it's only the first few hours

Fygee · Jan 20, 2005

Bah, that sucks. I really hated the "whump" sound the heavy hits made. It was like tossing a watermelon into a pile of blankets.

Apparently Robert is also a charge character again. Guess I won't be using him this time around.

kafuin_gaira · Jan 20, 2005

i had a horrible feeling svc would contribute to this game

DTJAAAAMJSLM · Jan 20, 2005

I'm dying to hear about how Terry plays in this game...

Well, all I know is how he looks: Like shit. He's the crappy SvsC version, if I'm not mistaken. God, I was so excited about this game, but it's starting to sound like SvsC2. I hope I'm way off, as I've been excited for this game for a long time.

Spike Spiegel · Jan 20, 2005

God this better not be like that. I guess SNK's glory days of super badass fighters like KOF98 and Shin Samurai Spirits are long long gone. Sigh....

SvC was criticised so badly why would they even want to tread the same path? its not like you can say they where onto something...

SNK > Playmore.

I fear we will never get that same feeling you got from SS2/KOF98/LastBlade2/Garou again.

SouthtownKid · Jan 21, 2005

You guys drive me crazy. SvC would have been good, except for...the things that were fucked up. If they fixed those things (tweaked GCS to work better and not render some characters useless, hit detection, etc.), it could be a great game.

IMO, KOF '99 played like a chunk of shit. The strikers, armor mode, etc...just awful. But they improved it like crazy in 2000 (again, imo) -- strikers more useful, new characters more balanced. And I feel 2001 was the best striker game of the three -- I actually enjoy that game. So a sequel to SvC's engine is not necessarily the disaster you guys assume, if you ask me (as long as they've made some progress).

As far as people complaining about Mars People, look at how differently some characters play after their first appearance (take Basara for example, between SS3 and SS4). It's too soon to be upset.

And Spike, Terry is not the SvC version, he's the KOF '03 version.

well SVC or any other athena suck and mars people :oh_no:

I wish they had gotten someone better from Metal Slug now as for the boss this is a really good pick I have yet to play Savage Reign/Kizuna so king lion was a great pick :buttrock:

ohh and the dash from SvC sucks :oh_no:
