Agreed. KOF'96 is such an epic title in the series.

Although arranged is great I still love the original.

96 had some nice presentation and music but it's still one of the worst KOF's gameplay wise. Extremely unfinished game, they took so long redrawing all the sprites that they ran out of time fine-tuning the actual gameplay. No command normals, all these hidden unused moves and DM's that would later get implemented in 97. At least 80% of the cast gets completely neutralized by an old man laying on his back.

Wow, you haven't posted regularly in four years. Stick around a while longer.

Coincidentally I came across your Kaiser Knuckle video last week and was wondering where you'd been:

I still absolutely love this game, but yeah, all those redrawn sprites and new animation came at a steep cost for sure :lolz:

100%! 96 is honestly hard to play if you play a fair amount of 97 or 98. It's a mess comparatively. It does have Geese, though! That said, it's still solid enough, and the OST is amazing. I like it leaps and bounds over the AST. Kim's theme especially.

yeah I just kinda fell out of forums. There weren't many discussions I was interested in here lately so I've just paid attention to shitty ass twitter and some Discord servers for the most part. I do miss forums like this sometimes though, it's always easier to find info in places like this.

That Kaiser Knuckle stream was over 4 years ago... man, how the time flies

Ah, so BBH does still post in this trashcan of a forum. Stick around! Loved your MAME Roulette saga.
