well anyways Street Fighter has become irrelevent ever since KOF94 appeared. .

If you are gonna jock SNK, at least choose the right SNK. KoF sprites look like stick figure drawings compared to AoF3.

Ask for your check, we are done serving you here.

You are an unbelievable goon. The unmitigated gall you have to refer to anyone else on the planet as a simpleton is ghastly. I've encountered barnyard animals and marine life with more intelligence than you.

And heads up, SNK did peg years to its characters, you ignorant clod.

Even today I sit on the fence on whether Saner is genuinely autistic or just a slow burn type troll.

wtf. SFIII series did flop. it was in fact the last SF from the original SFII devs. SFIII series flopped commercially. which is why there was a long hiatus and capcom focused more on resident evil and other things until SFIV

it's 'popular' only in nostalgia, but still the majority don't play it, heck, USFiV and even the overrated SFV eclipse the 3rd Strike's fanbase and active playerbase online.

its kinda like how overrated MOTW is due to its animations. 3rd Strike is not even up to Alpha 3 roster and gameplay standards.

anyways this is KOFXV topic, and SNK must be developing a pretty impressive graphics foundation so they dont get ridiculed again.

This has to be the most misinformed post I've seen in a damn long time.

Saner is saying that 3rd world countries prefer kof to sf and they have more people.

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is arguably the best playing fighter of all time. Imo, it has never been surpassed. The controls were absolute perfection, top tier hand-drawn sprites, amazing soundtrack. Gill resurrecting after defeating him added that extra X factor you don't forget. It's the complete opposite of overrated, it's the gold standard fighting games should aspire to be.

I mean, sure. That's a valid opinion, no one's arguing that. We're talking more of why it failed commercially and failed to tap into pop culture like SFII was able to do.

The new character designs were either super generic or downright ugly.

Zeku and G are great additions though (if you consider them new).

Because things change, people moved on to 3D, there was a new generation of gamers coming up and commanding the narrative.
What can you do?
At least the golden age has left a great amount of superb hand drawn technically prolific games

I'd imagine a lot of it had to do with the character roster. People wanted more than just Ken and Ryu to make the transition from II to III. And by the time Chun-Li was added, people had already moved on.

I'm not going to front BN. When I found out SFIV was coming out I was souped. I never got so excited for a game in my older years like I did with SFIV (Mid 20's). Had the madcatz te stick on Pre-order along with the limited edition game. After all was said and done I was not disappointed with the outcome. I thought the inital SFIV was bare bones but still felt like SF. I still would have loved a true 2d SF but thought the 2.5d SF was just fine. I'm currently playing SFV champion edition and having a blast. I'll always main Ryu for the rest of my life.

Spoken for truth. The hype was definitely real that year :buttrock: SFIV just kept getting better and the IV series left off on a high note with the release of Ultra SFIV imho.

On KOFXV: I’ll always support the series so I’m always game for SNK to try new things with the engine and cast. Out of the newer KOF’s, KOF13 and XI still get pretty constant play from me.

If the porno store is in Japan, lots of people will recognize him from his comic and live action tv series from 40 years ago.

darn it, capcom should quit being such tryhards spreading bad information about their mediocre product. SF3 TS is one of the most mediocre fighting games.
it has been surpassed even by its predecessors!

the sprites are awful art direction. everyone looks worse and that is worsened by its inconsistent character designs. Necro, Seven, Oro are some of the most horrible and stupidest character designs ever. Urien is one of the most laziest character designs, which is basically a modified Gill. Chun Li has absurd turkey legs and takes proportions to extremes.

also SF3 series has THE WORST music ever, tied with MVC2. and its rap and juvenile themes are trash tier nonsense.
plus that era has the worst rosters since SF1. in a lot of ways SF3 series is the anti SF compared to SF2, Alpha, and SF4 eras. even SF5 has better taste in roster. SF3 was lacking too many favorites and adds so many rejects.

anyways, Im surprised there are no roster leaks of KOFXV yet. KOFXIV's roster was leaked like a year before launch.

they shouldn't let public event reschedules delay things, they should start revealing KOFXV characters and gameplay next month. they do have ONLINE, internet, youtube, social media to reveal and start promoting the game. if they wait until coronavirus is gone, they would have to delay KOFXV to 2013.

anyways public tournament events are dangerous even without viruses, people could get hit by birds and typhoons on the way there and back.

they can just promote the game and reveal content right from their room and building. not necessary to go out.
