KOF XII impressions - The KING is back in HD - Winner of best Fighting Game E3 2009

So is the game delayed further, or what? I have seen three seperate release dates

Latest tier from Arcadia:
S Rank: Kyo, Iori
A Rank: Terry, Andy, Joe, Shen Woo, Kensou, Ralf, Kim, Ryo
B Rank: Robert, Ash, Chin, Raiden, Daimon
C Rank: Benimaru, Duo-lon, Leona, Athena
D Rank: Clark

I had a feeling Leona was a bit low. She just doesn't deal out the damage. Her weakened air priority really hurts her game, too.

Leona can still win. I've seen Japanese videos of Clark players putting up a good fight, they even found a cool way to use that air throw.

Just d/l'ed the new HD trailers on my 360 from the marketplace and viewing them on my new big HDTV....can't help but say the game looks so good, and totally surprised me how nice it looks watching it in action on your HDTV rather than videos on a PC which does not do the game justice visually.

The high level gameplay I've seen so far already had me sold but seeing how the game will look on my HDTV just from a trailer has me really excited.

Yep, the counter Jump CD > jump C > Jump air grab was awesome

I really can't wait to show people how using Leona is done. It seems they like to mash C, and leave her wide open often, and they don't even use her complete arsenal effectively.
