Immediately reminded me of Mortal Kombat when I read that. Loved that game too.

I swear, Falcoon's designs for new characters in the KOF: MI series look like complete shit.

The characters don't fit in the game to me.

Falcoon is a fat, loser and terrible fan artist that shouldn't be handling something like KOF.

Period.

How did he become KOF's main artist??

Post by **Femto** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 11:45 am

I have no idea, but he worked on '03 and on both MI.

Thank god for Hiroaki.

I'm betting it's because of the way he draws ambigiously and improportionately large breasts for teh chicks. Reminds me of Oh Great, in a way.

I don't know much about KOF, and so I googled his artwork, I do agree with you that he shouldn't even begin to touch KOF.

Did he design Ash, Duo Lon, and Shen Woo? or Just Ash?

Post by **Ayanami** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 3:28 pm

I actually liked the art in 2001. I am probably one of the few who think so.

Who's talking about '01.

And yes, Falcoon was involved with all new character designs in '03 as far as I know. That includes Shen and Duo Lon as well as that horrible bitch Malin. Kyo's new costume, Mukai and Adelheid were earlier, unused character designs if I'm not mistaken.

Since we were talking about the art and all, I thought it would be fitting.....

Oh well as ya do, does any one have any pics of his work for KOF MI 2?? I don't like Falcoon's 2003 stuff, but I have not seen any drawings of his MI stuff. I would like to see it before I pass judgement.

Post by **Femto** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 3:48 pm

There are no in-game Falcoon illustrations in MI, it's all CG. Still, the terrible character designs should tell you enough about it.

I think I have a couple of Lien design sheets, let me see if I can dig them up.

EDIT: Found 'em:

I'm pretty sure those are actual Falcoon illustrations, but I might be mistaken. Look at his Clark and Maxima redesigns:

His new Mai costume is pretty good actually, but the rest of his stuff is really bad.

PS: 2001 artwork is not bad, it's just that it was a step down from 2000's beautiful artwork. I actually prefer '01 stuff to '02/'03. I'm talking in-game stuff of course.

Post by **Ayanami** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 3:57 pm

Aight did some looking around, and found a pic of this Nagase character.

She does indeed look horrible IMO.

I never liked the design of the new characters in MI, like Alba and Lien, Soiree takes the cake though if you ask me.

EDIT - Hmmm, his Clark and Maxima are indeed retarded, and I do agree with the new Mai. And as for 2001 compared to the others.....

Yeah, 2000 is better, but I think 2001 was pretty good, and a lot of people trashed 2001's art style and what not. I think it was cool to have something different for a change and not something generic like Falcoon's 2003 stuff.

Post by **Tempest** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 4:04 pm

Bah @ Soiree. Alba is teh master of MI.

Post by **DarkenRahlX** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 4:10 pm

Out of all the character designs I like Shen Woo the best...but that's not saying much. If it wasn't for his pink shirt / fuschia. It looks to be fuschia...

'03 kyo looked like the Striker kyo in Evolution, except his jacket isn't zipped up.

And without further ado:

Compare the CMVS to the GC right next to it.

PS: I locked the other thread because I thought it was unncessary.

PPS: I actually like Shen Woo, even with his pink shirt. Easily the best new character in '03.

I noticed you have Shinobi for the PS2 Femto, you ever beat that? I could never get past the sixth stage. Damn blind swordsman.

Anywho, back to fighters. I never got that much of a chance to play KOF '03. I played it with Ayanami for a bit, but not a whole lot.I did enjoy the addition of Tizoc to the Gauro Team roster, I never cared much for Andy. And speaking of MOTW characters coming into KOFs, anyone hyped to see B. Jenet in KOF XI? I thought it was nice to see her in their. I hope they don't mess with he too much, like they did with Gato. I can't even play with him in '03, I would need to totally relearn strategies and set-ups.

*Goes off to play MOTW on emu*

Post by **Femto** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 12:46 am

I beat Shinobi on Super.

Post by **DarkenRahlX** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 1:14 pm

I love Tizoc in '03 when I play against my friends. My friends are 3-D fighter fanatics. So I like to laugh and taunt them when they cannot execute supers properly...and then they try to button tap their way out of a 2-D beat down.

edit: Nice setup Femto.

Where the hell is teh Xbox in that pic? You have a GC, a PS2, and no Xbox...

I was excited when I saw Marvel Nemesis released. After reading some user opinions and some reviews, I am now left in a soulless husk. It looked really promising...

Post by **Femto** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 3:46 pm

Street Fighter 4?

Fake as hell, but a man can still dream.

As for NGBC, yeah, Mr. Big is a poking god beyond Billy Kane.

PS: X-Box sucks and it's not worth it for 3-4 games.

PPS: Marvel Nemesis was destined to suck. Nobody will ever use the Marvel license as well as Capcom did in the mid-'90s.

Damn your awesome Femto!

I couldnt even beat Shinobi on normal:P

Come on Eldo, you don't need to be a gamign freak to know that:

EA+ Anything but sports (Especially a fighting game) = Horrible

Being creative is cool, but damnit, sometimes you just have to stick with your guns. And you're not alone Libaxx, although I haven't played it in a while since I only played my cousin's copy, so maybe after playing shooters and the like, my reflexes may have improved enough to beat it. I picked it a few weeks back in a used bin for $10.

I really liked Shinobi. I think it had a great system going for it, always focing you to be faster and faster in killing enemies, and always keeping the pressure high. The animation was beautiful (though motion captured) and the character designs were awesome. I just wish the sequel would've addressed some of the major issues with the game so it could be pushed forward and join top tier action games like DMC or Ninja Gaiden.

I've always seen huge potential in Shinobi, and it's probably the only game that has made me wish I could develop a sequel for, even though I have no particular interests in working in the video game industry.
