General Discussion / The fate of KOF XIII

« on: February 17, 2016, 07:11:00 PM »

As is with any video game franchise, older games will have to make way for the newer ones. All the attention will shift towards the new thing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the older games will fade away. Even within the KOF franchise there's games that have lasted despite being outdated (for lack of a better word). My question is if interest in KOF XIII will remain even after it has left the spotlight.

I find it hard to believe this community will simply forget about the game that broke ground for its competitive scene and I will be heartbroken if it happens. I believe KOF XIII has the same "staying power" as '98 and '02.

General Fighting Game Discussion / Tekken 7/Fated Retribution

« on: January 11, 2016, 07:56:37 AM »

Ever since King of the Iron Fist Tournanent 2015, I've been very hyped about Tekken 7. And that update, Fated Retribution, with freaking Akuma! I can't wait for this to finally hit consoles! Whenever that is... Harada likes to troll us

General Fighting Game Discussion / Street Fighter V

« on: August 28, 2015, 12:45:08 AM »

I wasn't terribly excited when this was first announced, but with the flow of news that's been coming in, I'm more interested than before.

So far we've had Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken and Vega announced. There's also a new character called Necalli. And today at PAX Prime, R. Mika was announced.

I'm curious to see how the game will turn out. Did anyone get the SFV beta, by any chance?

Site Suggestions and Troubleshooting / Password glitch

« on: March 20, 2015, 06:59:38 AM »

Whenever I log in, this always happens:

I put in my correct password and it tells me I put an incorrect password. On the second try, it logs me in.

So weird...

SNK Games / The Rhythm of Fighters

« on: July 02, 2014, 06:03:40 AM »

Anyone play this game yet?

I've always been a fan of rhythm games, and when I heard that SNKP was going to make one featuring music from their games, I became interested. However, from watching gameplay videos of it, it doesn't look that good. Seems like you have to pay a lot of money if you want to fully experience the game.

I have a feeling this will turn out to be a flop...

Samurai Shodown / Samurai Shodown VII coming out in 2014?

« on: November 14, 2013, 06:14:06 AM »

While I was browsing the Internet, I stumbled upon this:



Yes, I know this is Wikipedia, and yes, I know how inaccurate they tend to be. But I think it's still worth talking about this. After all, wasn't SNK hiring people to work on new games, one of them being a new SamSho game? Maybe there was an announcement somewhere that said a new SamSho game would come out next year. Also, that same list in Wikipedia said nothing about another KOF game for next year (something else that SNK was hiring people for).

Social Club / The Pokemon Thread - X/Y is pretty much the best gen ever

« on: October 11, 2013, 10:01:33 PM »

I wanted to make it tomorrow when Pokemon X/Y is going to be released, but I can't wait anymore.

After having followed any information released about this game, I must say I'M SO FUCKING HYPED! Mega Evolutions are looking to be the shit! And Sylveon is my new favorite Pokemon.

Hopefully some of you guys are planning to get it as well.

Discuss all Pokemon things here. 

Oh and, for good measure, this is my favorite Mega Pokemon:

General Discussion / KOF XIII Fanaticism

« on: April 27, 2013, 10:50:02 PM »

So I'm conducting this poll to see how much you guys like KOF XIII.

Personally, I am like the last option. I do think it's the best KOF made up to date. I spend my days looking for videos of matches and combos. I even think I may be a fanboy. But I didn't put that option for the same reason I didn't put something along the lines of "I fucking hate this game."

Vote away my people!

General Fighting Game Discussion / Xuandou Zhiwang (a.k.a. Chinese KOF clone)

« on: April 23, 2013, 08:58:37 PM »

With all the recent news surrounding this game, I felt it was appropriate to make a thread for this game.

I myself didn't get into this game until recently, when I found out about its crossover with KOF. Now I'm willing to pay more attention to this game.

Hopefully, I'll be able to play it someday.  

EDIT: How to play Xuandou Zhiwang (guide courtesy of AmedoS310).

How to sign-up and play XDZW

Things needed:
QQ Account
Beta Key
Chinese ID
Chinese Name


1. Make a QQ account by going here: http://zc.qq.com/en/
You can put your regular information. An email address will be needed to sign up. After finishing signups and email verification, you'll get your QQ number. Make sure that you remember your QQ number and password.

2. Get beta key(s) and activate it: Either get them from an outside source or buy them from this site: http://www.yoybuy.com/en/Show/16525568484 There's is a 5.53 service for buying something from this site, so the price for beta key(s) is $0.16(x)+$5.53. It'll take a few days for the beta key(s) to arrive and the beta key(s) will only be sent to you through the actually site. Go here to activate the key(s): http://xd.qq.com/web201303/cdkey.shtml When you activate the key, a log in screen will pop up, use your QQ number and password to log in and then re-activate your beta key.

3. Download XDZW Installation:
The actually webpage to download the client/ game: http://xd.qq.com/web201303/download.shtml

(For the time being)
Web Client: http://down.qq.com/cof/dltools/XD_V1.9.35.1_DL_signed.exe
Full Game (for the current Update only): http://down.qq.com/cof/full/XD_V1.9.35.1.exe

4. Get generated Chinese ID and Chinese name:
Go here: http://idgen.larskort.org/p/main/
The information needed will be on the top right.

5. You have to use the above info here: http://jkyx.qq.com/
Log in on the left where the light blue box is located with your QQ info. Three boxes will pop on the right. The first box needs the Chinese name. The second box needs the Chinese ID. Just copy both generated information to their corresponding boxes. If a red exclamation point in a yellow box pops up on the right of the second box, then go back to step 4 and get a new generated Chinese ID. The third row of boxes can be left blank. Save the info by clicking on one of the blue boxes under the third row of white boxes. I think it's the left one and that should be everything.

6. Now when you log in at the XDZW log-in screen and this pop-ups: http://gyazo.com/0684ac197c36cea98855e16749941d91 close the game and wait a few hours to log back on. That screen should not pop up again.

General Fighting Game Discussion / Yatagarasu - Indie fighting game

« on: January 19, 2013, 02:22:43 AM »

I heard about this in GameFAQs. It caught my attention because former SNK employees helped work on this.

Site Suggestions and Troubleshooting / Glitch

« on: December 14, 2012, 03:20:23 AM »

Nothing you post in any of the sub-forums in the Fatal Fury section shows up as the most recent post in the front page. I tested to see if this applied to any of the other sub-forums under "SNK games" but everything was all right in those boards.

I found this out after my brother sebbyQ posted something in the Garou video thread and I posted something right after.

Pro-Gear / Hit Box Fight Pad

« on: December 07, 2012, 01:15:00 AM »

http://www.hitboxarcade.com/

This is a fight pad where the directions are buttons instead of a joystick. They have some videos of them doing combos in several games using their fight pad:

http://www.youtube.com/user/HitBoxes

From what I've seen, using this pad is like playing on a keyboard without the stiffness of a keyboard. It seems really cool. What do you guys think of this pad?

Also, I find the placement of the up arrow a bit odd. Anyone know what are the advantages of having the up arrow where it is?

Social Club / A fighting game stereotype that bothers me

« on: October 18, 2012, 01:36:35 AM »

"I only play as female characters because I'm a girl."


I haven't ran into a lot of female FG players, but the few ones that I've seen have either told me this or demonstrated it to me in a match. My question is: why do girls feel they have to play characters that are the same gender as they?

I'd like it if some of the female FG players could come in this thread and answer this for me, but I know DreamCancel doesn't have a lot of female members (and none of them are active posters). So I guess I'll ask you guys: why do you think female FG players think that way?
