Yup, that's the new winpose. You can also see her 2 hit Standing in the vid, too.

Yeah, saw that one, nice.
To everyone watching the video....I suggest turning the audio off, just a suggestion.

Can´t wait to have more news about this game, I hope by the end of this month we get something.

1. Netcode, netcode, netcode. Will the game feature lobbies, clans, ranked matches, etc.
SNK/PLAYMORE: “Quality online play” is our development team’s top priority, so I’m confident that we’ll meet your expectations. As for the details of the Network mode, we do have ranked matches. It will have no clan support, however; we believe that for this game it’s best for each player to go head to head with others. Whether it is a ranked match or a casual player match, this game’s online play will be a truly enjoyable experience.

Thanks. I guess it wouldn't make much sense to have clan battles if there's no spectator mode...

SAB-CA did you fight with or against K' much? Did he seem visibly nerfed?

How about Saiki? Did he feel balanced or potentially overpowered?

Did you notice Yuri actually tried to mash DP? I guess someone shoulda mentioned that don't work here, no 100 frames of invincibility in KOF!

[MUSOLINI]

actually a lot of dp's from kof have way more invincible frames or autoguard than sf dp's (rising taco, kyos dp etc.) the biggest difference is that 2 miss timed dp's means its the end of the line for that character. kof characters got good health, but with the big combos that don't require much bars its like all kof characters are seth from sf4. mashing dp pretty much means you dont know wtf your doing (unless your playing super ken online or hon in rb2.

I played K' very little myself, and the people that played him didn't make him feel any better than a Kyo. Most people who played K', Kyo, or Kula, were much more comfortable with the latter 2, than the former.

When I played him, I didn't feel particularly great. I liked other people's hops better (very weird, I love Lin's Hop D in 2k2UM, K' shoulda been similiar, but it just felt GOOD for me, not stand-out fantastic), and the fact it lost crossup properties was kinda funny (it's easier to cross up with Terry's Hop ;D, and lets not even mention Takuma's!).

I'm confident he would have felt strong, if I took the time to get comfortable with him on those sticks, but I was much more interested in playing characters people don't see all the time.

Saiki... I had more problems with Ash, than Saiki, TBH. All the little flame kisses on screen, the great zoning tactics, the deft movements... at the quality I played him / others played him, Saiki just felt like a poor man's Ash, lol. I tried him once, lost miserably, and decided if I was gonna play somone new, I'd stick with Billy, instead. I could see Saiki working great once you learn his in's and out's, but with so much move versatility, it was really easy to drive cancel on accident, or waste a DM doing something at a time where most characters wouldn't HAVE a cancel.

Billy ALSO felt weird, as his staff's priority and "hurt" zones felt much different than I'm used to with him. I wanted him to provide meaty coverage for himself, kinda like Whip, but instead, he seemed very much like he needed to aim his blows percisely. And he wasn't masher friendly at all, leading to a lot of un-intended staff twirling. He seemed to go into said blows much easier than Clark or Joe, which threw me off a few times.

I wasn't THAT comfortable with my Chin play, but I had more people screaming that he, Hwa, and Maxima were cheap, than any other K' or Kula's. The new changes to K' uppercuts made the old Minute Spikes combos awkward for many, and since pretty much everyone I play can grapple, his more-punishable recoveries lead to quick deaths for many neophite-K's.

yo quick question anybody hear anything about ex iori cause today ive started hearing a lot of people say he's day 1 dlc

All we know is that in Japan Flame Iori is Pre-order free DLC, so most likely he will be day one Pay DLC in Japan for those who didn't pre-order.

For US/EU, nothing has been said, but for what I can see is that Flame Iori might be already unlocked in the US/EU version, since he just appears as an extra character in the Atlus Website and it says nothing about him been DLC.

[Sharnt]

Anyone tries to see changes on Kim/Yuri, i'm bit afraid some technologies will miss on console version.

[SAB-CA]

Kim has EX Air DM now. I didn't really PLAY Kim more than once or twice, so I couldn't say much more.

Yuri... has more voice samples? I'm not sure if her "1000 slaps" was always a normal throw on and a dashing throw on in arcade... but that's how it is now! Short range one has a miss animation, just as if someone like Maxima had attempted a grab. From as little as I played, everything else seemed just as solid as it was in Arcade.

That's a good point, never though about that. For some reason i think he will be DLC for US/EU, SNKP needs to get as much money as they can from this game, unless that DLC money goes to the respective publishers, i don't know how the DLC business works.

Hmmmn Kim's EX Air DM...I dunno does anyone else feel like if you were gonna use an EX DM it would've just been his ground version? Save DC bar and all, and the standard air DM was good enough for surprise DMs anyway. Oh well, never hurts Kim to have more combo options...now if only we could get baseball slide back!

The importat part is that it allows him to use EX DM out of his flying kick command normal. So any situation where you can land that kick, just got a potential final damage buff to it. That doesn't require an extra DC or anything either, so in the end, it's a buff to one of Kim's best new moves.
