KOF 2001 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHH

FUCKIN SWEEEEEET !!!!

http://www.mmcafe.com/news09-03-01.html

KOF 2001 includes 10 teams, each consisting of 4 characters likewise to KOF99/2K. No single edit characters exist in the game; Both Kyo and Iori are now in teams. There is 1 new team and 4 new characters; The NESTS team, consisting of Kula and 3 new characters; Foxy, Angel, and K9999. The remaining one new character Mei-Li, substitutes for Jhun Foon in the Korean team

Changed Teams goes as follows:
K' Team- K', Maxima, Lin, Whip
Iori Team- Iori, Vanessa, Seth, Ramon
Kyo Team- Kyo, Benimaru, Goro, Shingo
Ikari Team- Leona, Heidern, Ralf, Clark
Female Fighters Team- King, Mai, Hinata, Xiang-fei
Korean Team- Kim, Chang, Choi, Mei-Li

Tactical Order Select System

In KOF 2001, teams are no longer fixed to 3 playable character's and one striker. Called the "Tactical Order Select" system, choosing the number of characters to become playable or strikers, is flexible in KOF2001. As seen in the character select screen above, 1P has 4 playable characters and 0 strikers, while 2P has 1 playable character and 3 strikers.

The Tactical Order Select system also effects the power meter and its stocks.


As seen in the image above, the length of the power meter shortens in contrast to the number of playable characters (4 characters= longest, 1 character=shortest). The number of stock also changes, depending on the number of playable characters (4 characters=1, 1 character = 4). In addition, the defense power of characters changes as well. (4 characters= low, 1character=high)


Striker Stocks
Striker Stocks have been abolished in KOF2001. Instead, strikers now deplete power stock.

Cancel Striker
In certain conditions, strikers can be called into the screen without the call-in motion. Named the "Cancel Striker" system, the conditions for executing it goes as follows.

1- The opponent is on the ground
2- The opponent is attacked, and in a hitback motion
3- There is one or more power stock

While only one striker can be called in per cancel striker motion, it is possible for the player to continue onto a combo from the striker's attack, and use the Cancel striker again, making an attack such as Player > Striker > Player > Striker > Player... .

Super Cancel System & Abolishment of "Modes"
The "Mode" system from KOF99/2K has been abolished; Both Armor and Counter modes no longer exist in the game. However, one part of the counter mode has been adopted into the game as the "Super Cancel System"; in KOF2001, Special attacks can be canceled into Supers.

Wire Damage System
A new addition to KOF, certain attacks in the game now have a special effect named the "Wire Damage", in which an attacked character thrusts to the wall, and bounces back as though they have a wire attached. During the bounce-back motion, the character is completely vulnerable to attacks.

The King Of Fighters 2001 is scheduled for release in November for the MVS System.
The Madman's Cafe will continue to follow up on future news regarding The King Of Fighters 2001.

Nice to see some returning faces (although cutting Jhun is going to upset a number of people on the KoF mailing list) <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

I'm also glad they got rid of the Armor and Counter modes (never used 'em myself), although letting the "specials cancelled into supers" from Counter mode be incorporated into normal play sounds like a great idea.

I wonder if Striker abuse is going to go down now that they work off of the Power stock instead of their own Striker stock...

Basically, it looks like SNK/Eolith tried to please both the old-school KoF fans ('98 and before) and the newer converts since '99. We'll just have to wait for information from the first beta plays to see if they managed to pull it off.

Think of it this way, would you rather call a striker or try and pull of a DM?

Yeah.. Jhun... I really liked that character :/
Why Oh Why do they did they keep Choi?
Why do Chang & Choi have to come as a Team?
I can understand why they would leave Chang but why Choi and not Jhun??

you're not alone,bear

i REALLY am sick and tired of chang & choi

but i didnt like jhun much so.......

to be honest,
the korean team has always been quite crap


oh well

what do i care

MAI is in there

im gonna love it

YES, Big Bear. The DIP SHIT twins stay in the game and a cool character gets knixed. Oy. The thing is, that fat bitch and his midget beni-boy are HUGELY popular in Japan, from what I understand. I guess they think they are funny. Eh...that Japanese sense of humor. I don't think I'll ever fully understand it.

After years of messing up they finally got team Ikari right!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

And team Japan is back where it belongs!

Any info on American distribution yet?

Iori still wears the oversized dress shirt. Damn, I was hoping for the trench.

This game looks like the work of GOD!!!

hahah...

It's not Robert's. If you look at the pics on the bottom, some characters are superimposed over the screenshots. but the FF and AoF teams (and unfortunately the PS team) are still there.

Anyone wanna guess the meggage of this one?

man i had my doubts about these guys doing this title,but now that ive checked out the screenshot i gotta say this looks insane!!!
the bgs and new fighters look great...check out that new chick doin a break dance move with her bare ass exposed!!! lookin good!
and whats with the weird giant fist i see in 2 of those screens?...now whos doin the home cart ahahahaaaaaa!!!!
bgs look the best ive seen in awhile,like fran says they look like 94 souped up...
hopefully it plays as tight as it looks.....

DAAAAGGG!!!! What a beaut *whistles*. MVS release, eh??? I'm gonna try to get that one. Hey, hey hey Eolith release that MVS already, I can't wait... <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

bye bye shinkuro..
hi tonko?
all the profiles are
super MotWs looking..

All this seems to be good!
I m surprised to see such pictures... because it seems great. The new characters looks good too and i m very happy to see that Goro makes his come back!
At the begining of the annouce of the release of kof2k1 i thought it would be a poor game because it was not SNK that would made it. Now it will be hard to wait for the release <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0">
First impression: Good job, wait and see the game play....
