General Discussion / Helping or hurting?

« on: July 06, 2011, 02:10:12 PM »

With hundreds of combo videos for KOF XIII floating around on the net, what effect do you feel they will have on the game's reception?

Scrubs are a very fickle bunch these days. The moment they see a single combo video featuring a 100% damage combo they will be the first to cry out "OMGZ it's teh broken!" or "(insert character or move) is broken and needs to be nerfed!"

Do these combo videos really help build hype or are they turning people off before they even play the game?

Being a veteran of the fighting game genre for 2 decades now, I can understand that the videos are intended to display the freedom and flexibility of the fighting in the KOF XIII engine. I also understand that while the people who are performing the combos in the videos make it LOOK easy, it takes a great deal of practice and surgical execution to pull off consistently in the right situation and position while under fire in a match. A large number of fans of versus fighting games may NOT have such a discerning eye, yet they are the most vocal in the scene, screaming "nerf!"

Online Matchmaking / In wake of GGPOs death...

« on: May 04, 2011, 12:03:36 AM »

I've finally figured out how to get Supercade installed and working. I must say, it sure seems like the Supercade community and offerings are a lot more involved than that of GGPO.

GGPO apparently has an ace over Supercade...SF III:3S is actually playable on GGPO from what I been hearing from complaints about SC.

Anyway, I like the wider selection of games that SC supports and was hoping to find some KOF 95 opponents to test out SC for a few matches sometime.

Also would like to FINALLY learn to play some RB2 with someone because info and FAQS on the game is so scarce and very few people play it these days!

You down?

Online Matchmaking / Calling all KOF fans! PSN KOF XII community revival!

« on: December 26, 2010, 02:12:26 PM »

Come one, come all! Veterans, boosters, Robert/Kyo scrubs (lol) new players interested in KOF or just plain tired of the same matchups in Super Ryu Fighter IV. For the past two weeks, The New Wolves KOF XII clan has been frequently beating the crap outta each other online.
 
Yes, you heard me right ONLINE...KOF XII's online component is actually PLAYABLE now as long as your connection is wired, that is.
 
We've been seeing some random players lurking around and figured they're lookin to get down too. So, myself, FameDouglas aka HDR Fei Long legend, hdcloudstrife08 aka SSF IV Deadly Dudley and clan newcomer, AgentOrange82 are sending a beacon out to all of you have may have just picked the game up or had it for a while but no one will play it with you because you're too good offline (lol) and lookin for a change until XIII or MvC2 gets here!
 
We're always on PSN so send either of us a message at anytime if you wanna join the movement!
 
Come and play with the heavy hitters!
 
Long live SNK!
