New Scans at cyberfanatix.com of KOF XI (7-29-05)

roker · Jul 29, 2005

started a new thread, figured it'd be nice to get some fresh insight on the most recent scans

www.cyberfanatix.com

btw, they look fucking great (the art for the game is nothing short of amazing)

I may be in the minority, but I enjoyed KOF 2003 and if this can take that, make some gameplay tweaks, and give it a nice shot in the arm, then I'll be all over it

:drool_2:

(thanks to k'127 for the heads up)

if the art for KOFXI is amazing

what is 3rd strikes art?

considering they both run on the same hardware nearenough

Hmkay · Jul 29, 2005

Off topic: my apologizes to the webmaster of cyberfanatix for what I said (related to not giving credits for some news and shit), because it looks like a quite decent site actually.

not animation

I mean like the character art, drawings, and stuff

and yes, 3rd strike is up there in that dept, and 3rd strike has the best animation *period* of any 2D fighting game to date

Great find, seeing as how we may not see an actual mook for the game. So the movelists are appreciated. Just have to decypher the super cancel chart on page 4.

hermegildo · Jul 29, 2005

That artwork is plain beautiful.

Man, Hiroaki's illustrations for KOF 11 are nothing short of amazing. I knew he was the right man for the job.

So there's a fourth boss in NGBC now? Is it just me, or has SNKP been following this trend of having multiple bosses in every fighting game since SVC Chaos (with the exception of KOF Neowave) for quite some time now?

Thanks for the scans, BlazeD and that other guy.

Great scans, especially the Samurai Spirits Tenka ones. Very nice art.

Third Strike -> CPS3

KOF XI -> Atomiswave

Baseley09 · Jul 29, 2005

Agreed this looks damn good!

Thanks for the link...

Ok, the game stinks and the art is beatiful. I think it's Nona, and I say he's the most impressive artist SNK ever had

KOFXI
Great art by Hiroaki, he's always been the man. The character selection is quite 'meh' IMHO. I dunno, the game may turn out to sporting radically improved sprites, and I can spot some new animations in the scans, but still the character are FEW, imho. Nothing like the magnificent KOF2001 character team selection.

SST
Ok, this may seriously be a reason good enough to buy an Atomiswave. What we have here?

1) All SSZS charas+
2) those two lost SSZ chara (Sankuro and Yumeji)
3) 4 brand spanking new charas
4) ALL THE MISSING CHARAS from SSS, and they're something like SIX

Now this may be truly good. Of course gotta see the editing level SNKP (or Yuki?) managed to add at 2) and 4). Wan-Fu seems a 100% new sprite to me. Other are most likely based on SSS sprites, still tweaked. But who knows?

Kuroko is most likely to be hidden in the game, plus another final boss I think.

The BGs seems really beautiful. Not only that, the look quite inspired. The dock one, clear remake of the Galford classic, almost made me cry.

Also, all the new characters seems quite interesting!

Can't wait to see how SST turn out in the end!

Hmkay · Jul 29, 2005

I'm buying an AW only for SS Tenka. Then I'll most likely get Hokuto no Ken... but not any other known SNKP games.

By the way, Sieger has definitely been redrawn too... And Wan-Fu does look awesome. Earthquake is still the worst looking returning character, I'd say... If only they had decided to redo his sprite from scratch. I'd have to see how he's like in-game, but one of the past loke test reports mentions he looks bad in action.

I thought so at first, too, but it's not. It's a new guy. You'll have to dig up the old threads to find his name, though...I've forgotten already.

Diavle18 · Jul 29, 2005

Lol check out what Clark is doing to Tizok in one of the screens.

This guys art is very nice, nothing compared to Nona though.

As much as I love KOF I've lost all hope for it at this stage (for worthy sequels), I'll hold of my judgement till I get my hands on a port.

Actually he's not really a "new" guy persay. The artist is Ogura whose actually done the in game artwork of Real Bout FF, SvC, and KoF 2003. This is just some of the first hand-drawn stuff we've seen from him.

we're on the same page.

honeyman · Jul 29, 2005

Hiroaki strikes again! Seriously, this man cannot go wrong with his art. It' just so pleasing! (he should start a manga series right now!)

Anyway, let's hope KOFXI turns out to be of high quality in all departments. KOF2001 may have looked trashy but the game played really well in my opinion. If we could get gameplay of the level of KOF2K1 and the presentation quality of KOF98/99 I think we'll bne playing a winner come the game's release.

Hmkay · Jul 29, 2005

On a side note, I can count only like 10 different backgrounds from the SS Tenka scans... I hope there will be more.

Mark of the Wolves · Jul 29, 2005

King of Fighters XI looks like it will be great. I can't wait until this game gets ported. :buttrock:

Key words: "looks like"...

Most SNKP games look more or less promising (despite the sprites being the same all the time), but we all know what keeps happening in the end... Not to mention some KoF XI loke test reports were quite negative, saying things like Hokuto no Ken looked much better and was much more fun...

Well I've come ot realize I shouldn't expect these to look all that great. I like 2003 a lot so I don't have any problems. Unless this game plays like SVC I'll be fine.

And yet, look how it helped the game - KOF2001 is still one of the shittiest fighting games ever.
