Anybody here who doesn't care about KoF 2k1?

GregN · Dec 1, 2001

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am not too excited about KoF 2k1.

When I first read about it, one glaring factoid that stuck me in the eye was the lack of a team edit.

Strike 1.

Then came wind of some weird new striker system.

Strike 2.

Lastly, I was very dissappointed in KoF 2k.

Strike 3.

Granted, some of these assumptions may be wrong or have changed over time, but one fact remains. I am not interested in KoF2k1.

Anybody with me?

I'm replying to say that I AM excited! <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0"> Sorry, I know it's not the answer you were looking for, but I just can't help but be excited about this one.

PS: I love Akira <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">

I try my best not to make an judgements about the game until I try it.

It does LOOK better than 2k though. <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0">

Lee Gray · Dec 1, 2001

If you have played one kof you have played them all. i mean sure there are new moves and combos but most chars are excactly the same in each version.only difference is back drops
however i like playing them and as soon as the game is cheap enough to own i will buy it on mvs <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Iori Branford · Dec 1, 2001

You're kidding, right? They scrapped custom parties and forced the default parties on you? That means it's not even KOF anymore.

Sifl · Dec 1, 2001

Teams can still be edited, I don't know where all this 'no editing' stuff came from.

FINAL SHOWDOWN · Dec 1, 2001

Yeah I never heard about no team edit....that would suck.

Brandon St Randy · Dec 1, 2001

theres pics and videos of mixed teams.

NUFF SAID.

Kyokugen Star · Dec 1, 2001

Greg, you must be kidding, right? This is the very very last game with actual SNK people involved and we should not be getting excited about?

NO. I am pretty damn excited about this one and there are lots of reasons for that.

-- new characters with Garou like animations
-- a fantastic new boss
-- very nice combos to be found as seen in the new videos
-- excellent stages with lots of background animation

to name just a few.

But sure, if you don`t like KoF or fighting games that`s something else.

But I really really do hope this makes it onto homecart yet <keeps fingers crossed> that Sun Amusement (and Shawn? :rolleyes <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> will make it possible!

I agree. There are ALL the same. Fuck 'em

dfx · Dec 1, 2001

hahaha
i'm so damn exited
kof=snk
like kyokugen sais this is the
absolutly last game with real snk
staff involved
and i'm praying for a homerelease!

chimpmeister · Dec 1, 2001

I gotta say that I felt the same way as Greg, up until recently.

Then, I saw the mpegs someone here posted about. WOW!

Animation of the characters looked, to me at least, to be MOTW quality. That one boss with the insane cape flowing around, used as a weapon, was insane.

After seeing those, I GOT EXCITED about KOF2K1!!

Now I'm really hoping for a home cart release . . . and it sounds like it just might happen!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

NeoGML · Dec 1, 2001

I am "holy-shitness" excited, i watched those vidds and i think it's very cool how there's two end bosses. Ignis' supers look so bad ass, and for some reason, the graphics in the game look a LOT smoother than 2K.

K9999 is the man. I like the new striker system, it could make battles a lot more interesting. for example, a two person vs 4 person team. should be fun.

i'm excited. hell yeah.

Loopz · Dec 1, 2001

KOF2K1? Funk that.

Hmm, I should be excited about a new character that's a total rip-off of Tetsuo from Akira and some other new lamers, eh? Nah. Garou was the last great SNK fighting game. If you want real KOF, fire up a copy of KOF '98. After that, the lame new characters and bullshit striker system sent this series to an early grave. Leave the weak strikers in the Capcom VS games where they should rot. I'd sooner play Capcom VS SNK 2 then KOF2K1. <IMG SRC="smilies/spock.gif" border="0">

Liquid Snake · Dec 1, 2001

I don't really care about KOF2K1

1) art style is different
2) SNK is dead..... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
3) KOF games are all the same ...... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Jackal · Dec 1, 2001

I'm still excited.

The art style may be different, although it's by Tonko (the guy who did Garou MOTW).

This may be the end of KOF as we know it... although strikers are in it, I've kind of learned to live with this. At least the strikers have a limit (unlike MvC2 where you can truly abuse the hell out of them).

BRANDI · Dec 2, 2001

I'm NOT excited too...

Psycho_Kenshin · Dec 2, 2001

KoF 2001 looks like it may be THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME to me and my friends... but then again, we're King of Fighters '99 junkies, even after Garou <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

mpatard · Dec 2, 2001

I've seen kof 2k1 videos, and now I'm really exited. I just hope that it will be not too much expensive(in france...) <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0">

Herzog Drei · Dec 2, 2001

At first i didn't care too much myself...i mean when a series reaches it's 8th installment,it just HAS to lose some impact.. <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">

But now...well,i wait for an opportunity to play it...

...THEN i'll decide how exited i really am <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">!

the_move · Dec 2, 2001

What? Not exited? Gulp <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

From which planet are you?

SNK4EVER · Dec 3, 2001

I was somewhat leary about 2001, but after watching those movies of it in motion I can say that I am definetly excited now!

Kiel · Dec 3, 2001

I'm always excited for new releases, isn't everyone else?

New combos look like they will be fun tho...

EX_Andy · Dec 4, 2001

Definitely looking forward to it. Was disappointed to hear that Jhun Hoon got cut, and even though Mei Li doesn't look that good (her character sprite), she looks like she'll be interesting to play. Also, it looks like they decided to go all-out on the character animation, presumably because there's very little chance of any kind of console port. I don't like the idea of Foxy having an instant draw DM (seems like a game breaker), and I don't care for the infinites (especially Kula's, which looks too damn easy to do), but otherwise, it looks pretty good, definitely better than 2000, which was a disappointment for me.

If I can find an arcade with it, I'll drop some quarters on it, no question. And if Sun Amusement comes through with the AES like Enterbrain/Arcadia reported, I'll definitely import the home cart.

benares · Dec 4, 2001

Not really interested...

What I would really like to see is a new Fatal Fury game with the Garou engine but using the old characters (Mai, Andy, Joe, etc.)

I just can't get into Fatal Fury and Real Bout with all that multiplane movement.
