Don't hold your breath on that port, you'd be better off playing emulated KoF games on a PSP or something.

Got some cool Terry Colors I've been tweaking lately; the Kyo is bonus. They may not be exactly spot on but they're real close.

[spoiler]Ness from EarthBound--All he's missing is the baseball bat and backpack amirite?


Kazuma Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho--Shoes custom for outfit.


Blue Scout from Team Fortress 2---"FOIYAH! FOIYAH! FOIYAH!"


Kyo as Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho--Kuwabara: All right! No more Kazuma as second fiddle in this ga---*Looks down two pics from his*URAMESHI!!!!!

Not sure what the problem is, but I don't see any pics. I think you might have entered the img code wrong.

The first Metal Slug I played was the second one. I spent so much time(and quarters) trying to beat it as a child. Then I learned of the existence of Metal Slug X, a harder version of 2. It's so difficult that I still can't beat it without dying once.

Spending so much time and effort on X is probably why it's my favorite.

Benimaru's looks and a number of his special moves are homages to anime characters.

His Three-Stage Reflex Kick and his Phantom Hurricane super come from Polymar.
His Flying Drill kick and Raijinken come from Casshern.
And obviously his appearance is very similar to Polneraff from JoJo's Bizzare Adventure.

Ironically, despite the references to anime, he hates anime and otakus.

If anyone has ever deserved to be an EVO champ, it was definitely Reynald. He put in the work, he made it happen. He had a difficult uphill battle, pulling off what MadKOF did last year, and even beating him!

But I think all the players did excellently, and it just makes me more excited to see KoF again at EVO next year!

Cool video, I learned quite a bit. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations to Romance for winning KoFXIII at SCR 2013 and to everyone else for working so hard! It's always so exciting to see great players at their best playing this game, so thank you all!

This is a bit random but what do you know could be true.

Any news is good news now, I think?!

The King of Fighters XIV Original release date(s):Worldwide TBA 2013
Release years by system:TBA 2013â€"Arcade
TBA 2014â€"iOS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Nintendo 3DSNotes:This game marks the first chapter in the Violator saga.

Well, it COULD be true. But it seems a bit farfetched that any new KoF would be developed for so many consoles simultaneously. Also, Violater saga? Sounds kinda unrealistic. But like I said, it COULD be true...

Lovin that Lina Yuri color. Thanks, 7k!

As much as I loved playing CvS2 back in the day, I don't think a sequel could live up to the hype, especially with the way Capcom does things. To be quite honest, I'd sooner look forward to a SvC2 myself. If SNK's efforts in XIII says anything, I think SvC2 could be done really well.

That's a good question. To be honest I never really gave too much thought into the types of characters I like to play, as I try not to limit myself to one playstyle or character set.

I play rushdowns, zoners, ones with good ranges, grapplers, rekka/chainers, whomever I feel suits my needs(and of course, regardless of tiers)

For example, in KoF 98, I ended up playing a team of Terry, Benimaru, and Iori. Since these characters are in all the KoF's, I end up playing them in every other KoF I play, including XIII.

Then there's characters I almost never touch in any KoF, like Chin, Clark, Leona, Kasumi, just to name a few.

I guess if I had to pinpoint the exact types of characters I enjoy playing the most(using the aforementioned three in mind), I like character with good rushdowns, speed, disorienting normals, and good command normals.

So quiet here.. Time for an out of topic chat to start!

TGS is almost here! What do you expect from SNKp?

To be honest, not much. Probably some info on Climax or something.

But if we're lucky... Metal Slug 8?

I actually liked that there were two Terry's in MI2, though I didn't care for him being named Wild Wolf even though it is sorta his title.

But an EX Terry with all his Garou moves and appearance would be great, and Power Stream would DEFINITELY have to be his Neo Max.

Someone still insists in PC release for a FIGHTING GAME? /facepalm

You know, I've yet to figure out why you're so against that...



So... digital copy, huh? You guys think that was SNK's plan in the first place? Release limited hard copies of XIII and then release it digitally if it sold well?

Sounds like a decent marketing strategy to me. It costs less, and there's tons of people who buy digital copies for convenience, as evidenced by quite a few members who've already posted their thoughts on it.
