The King of Fighters XIII General Discussion Thread

[THE ANSWER]

Even with screen lag the game was sick, but if I'd known they were gonna have a tourney, and that I'd be facing Kane in my second round, I'd probably not have spent the whole day getting hammered XD

Anyway, a whole lot of Norcal players showing real interest in this game, and a few buddies I haven't seen since we ran XI back in the day. Did anyone get pictures of the crowd around the setup? I'd like to post them in an arcade thread on SRK since the cab provider's really skeptical over KOFXIII's possible popularity here.

For the pics, here you go: http://www.snk-capcom.com/?p=4099#more-4099

Please blow KOF XIII up in norcal!

Nice pictures, the event looks like it was lots of fun. Also congratulations to Duc for winning 1st place, ALL BOW TO THE NEW KOF LORD IN THE U.S.!!!!!!

Anyone hanging around here expecting us to announce KoF XIII....don't bother.

So SNKp won't work with Ignition on XIII

So any guesses? Who is gonna port the game to the US?

EDIT: Nice tournament. I am glad that XIII started getting attention in the US

[sibarraz]

I will lol so hard if the game don't get any release in the states

That or maybe SNKP USA will return

[Rex Dart]

That or maybe SNKP USA will return

SNKP USA's website has returned, so I don't think it's out of the question. Atlus would be another good alternative.

It's actually not too surprising that Ignition isn't involved. Post-XII's release, they had a visibly rocky relationship with SNK.

[nilcam]

It was sort of shocking how visible the rift between Ignition and SNKP was. I would  have expected That sort of thing to be hidden.

[Giby]

The fans complained to Ignition, so they got sick of hearing it and put all the blame on SNKP (which is fine) then they joined the fans in bashing SNKP.

I don't see why SNKP would go with Ignition. Their two other options would be Atlus or XSEED. Atlus would be a much better choice since they know how to market their games.

[bramza24]

Are there any Filipino KOF gamers here?

[sibarraz]

I can see konami publishing the game, after all, as far as I know, they oublished the arcade release

[Beelzemon]

Even Mad Max showed absolutely no loyalty towards SNKp.  Every chance he got he totally bashed them which is normally fine since SNKp's handling of KOFXII deserved it but being a mod for the ignition forums you would think he'd be a bit more professional about it.  If Ignition doesn't even stick up for SNKp then obviously there's no reason to work with them again.  Which was a shame since it seemed like Shane was really into promoting KOF.

100% Agree 

Which was a shame since it seemed like Shane was really into promoting KOF.

Probably not because he loved the game, but it was his job....

SNKP USA was closer to fans and players during Oni-Con and SoCal events. And they said this time they want to get closer to KOF comunity around the world. Maybe they are planning release the game in USA by themsleves.

Rumored news about KOFXIII.

Here's the translation from Tokirisan Twitter:

"King of Fighters XIII will bring reveal new character next year, so far
...Botan is confirm as playable character, and more characters."

If this is true, that would be amazing. I've been wanting to play as Botan since KOFXI.

[Xxenace]

am i the only one here who wants adelheid in kof 13?

[solidshark]

You aren't, but I'm willing to wait if he's in the next one.

[MUSOLINI]

who knaws, we might get a whole team instead of just botan.
