Looks like someone frequents kotaku. Mugen is great though. Not just to play but to watch it sometimes too.

[Femto]

Mugen is horrible.

Jesus Christ.

[War Machine]

Unlike other fighters, it's hard to get into Mugen enough to want to excel in it. You rarely, if ever, hear of anyone who's good at Mugen. But the appeal is that you have an immense amount of character choices.

It's not great for its originality or reliability, but the amount of customization and variety is very entertaining.

On the subject, I heard that Elecbyte (the group behind Mugen) is working on a new project, supposedly a complete remake of the game. As long as they come up with a better way to manage your characters and stages, I'm happy with it.

Heres the youtube version if anyone doesn't want to dl it.

Looks like 08 is going to be the year of the fighter?

[DarkenRahlX]

Well... Street Fighter IV ... KIng of Fighters with Brand new kick ass sprites and animation... what the hell more can happen to make this week any better.

[Tempest]

I think I would murder somebody to get my hands on an HD version of that trailer to look at the new animations. It's tough to tell because of the video camera and Youtube, but it looks pretty awesome.

[DarkenRahlX]

Download the higher quality version. Femto has it linked.

[Tempest]

I did and while it was loads better, I still want to see it in HD, or at least the video itself, not via video recording. Then again I also want a million dollars. And a pony.

It kinda looks like people who worked on Odin Sphere helped with the sprites. But that's just me.

How exactly did you come to this conclusion?

There is no relationship whatsoever between both companies.

I didn't say they helped. I said it looked like they did. The fire effects and something about the characters that make it look like maybe a couple of contractors from Odin Sphere maybe hopped on board to help with the game when they requested for animators a few months ago.

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I'm working on a video with some SNK/NeoGeo characters in it and I need a song to play in the background. I am a fan of KoF and all but I'm trying to get the most recognized song from any of the games. Any help with a name would be greatly appreciated!

Extra points if you're willing to send it to me somehow. Thanks!

[Tempest]

For one I'd go with B Jenet's theme from MOTW and KOF XI, as heard in the first match of this vid (Or in her stage in MOTW):




*EDIT* Found a good quality KOF XII Trailer from GDC. Still waiting on that million dollars and a pony though.

I'm sorry, but NO male has hips like the new Ash sprite... that's just disturbing...

[Tempest]

That's Falcoon for you. Shen Woo looks like every single other male he draws, so the only way to make make Ash look different was to draw him like a woman.


*EDIT* - New screens of KOF XII:

Note: For some reason when you click the "Next Page" button it sometimes 404s or goes to a different game (SFIV for me ironically enough) so be sure to use the "Page __ of __" button just below it to be safe.

I don't even care about the double post anymore, because I am still reeling from this:

Nipple Spikes


If that isn't enough to get you guys posting in this thread, then I don't know what is.

[MadDogMike]

Am I supposed to be aroused by that? Compared to the other chick with the intricate armour designs and the spear, this design seems a bit lacklustre.

[lon3vvolf]

SoCal4... lightsabers and nipple spikes. Thats in addition to Voldo. Wow, they can just take my money now. SSB has nothing on this.

[Femto]

The last couple of new characters for Soul Calibur 4 have been horrendous.

[lon3vvolf]

Yoda says: Play with me, you will!

[MadDogMike]

Vader owns Yoda any day. I'm getting a PS3 for this (and MGS4).

I don't care as long as Cervantes is in it.
