Nagare: Wait, you can unlock the extended intro? The one where elisabeth cries?

Well, Gunsmith played it from the gallery, so I assumed you had to unlock it somehow.

oh anyone know why Clark Steel has been called "Still" since KOFXII?  Wasn't it originally Steel?

[Delta]

I think the change was before XII, like around the time of MI2 me thinks.

[darkTown2]

i don't even think i noticed it changed

@sibarraz Okay someone probably already asked this and I just missed it but what kind of options does practice mode have? and do you think it is comparable to other current fighters in this mode?

[omegaryuji]

I love that stage. The sound design on it is amazing.

Likewise.  Also, having a plain background like that means less visual distractions, which is nice.

Yeah, it was once Steel.  I don't know why they changed it.  Maybe just something that they messed up translating all along, like Lay Spin.

What did Lay Spin used to be?

What did Lay Spin used to be?

Ray Spin, since Japanese doesn't have "L" sounds.

So I guess they never had to hold dat L on their chests.

Katakana says 'Clark Still.' Probably a mistranslation.

It's like the xbla or ps2 kofs except with recording

At least has damage info

Is ok

As far as I know, his name was originally Clark Steel in the Japanese versions of the Ikari Warrior games. But apparently ever since KOF 94, when Ralf and Clark's names were localized in North America, it was changed to Clark Still.

Generally, it's said that it changed because Clark Steel was too close to "Clark Kent, the Man of Steel".

I'm not sure if DC ever commented / saught action on it, but I do remember people complaining about the name being changed, and being suprised anyone would notice a little company like SNKP making such a semi-sly joke / tribute.

This may have been asked before, but is the story mode any good?
