Yeah, they were giving them out randomly at summer jam.  I couldn't believe they made a disc 5 when I saw it.  lol

I think disc 5 is very nice and addresses my complain about the song selection in the original 4 disc soundtrack with the addition of tracks 1, 6, 7, and 21.

[Tyrant292]

Guess what I got at summer jam? The mythical disc 5 of the kof soundtracks!!!

Congrats bro!

seems like a pretty stripped down version of Melty Blood so far.

And that game was already pretty ass.

Can't really comment on the quality of the MB series because I never really followed it and its ridiculous amount of releases, but honestly there isn't much unique qualities to this new game to worth mentioning besides its ill-conceived name. (no pun intended)

Oh well, it's not like I was looking forward to another fighter, since there's plenty of good to go around now.

There is only ONE!

"THE" "King" of Fighters!

[Proto Cloud]

Wish they'd be "THE" "KING" of Netcodes instead.

Anyways, seriously, if SNK can't do something substantial next year for Samsho's 30th anniversary, I'm officially bombing their offices and breaking all their stupid pachinko machines.

Wouldn't that be counter-intuitive?

They need to contract the netcode to Arc.

They need to contract the netcode to Arc.

As long as it doesn't make KOF play like Arc games. I love Arc games, but I've always wondered and maybe figured that how they play has to do with why it's a good netcode.

One question for anyone there:
I like to play using "random select", in arcade, casuals, etc. In arcade, ALL chars can be randomly selected, including unlockables and DLC chars. In vs, it´s been a long time, but I,d swear all chars can be randomly selected too. In online vs, on the other hand, I´ve played quite a lot of matches with random selection and none of the unlockable and DLC chars have EVER been selected. It´s just a coincidence or those 5 can not appear if using random select in online matches? Does it matter if the one your opponent has them or not? I know that the person I´m playing vs with has Billy, Saiki and Mr. Karate. Any explanations for this? Thanx.

[LouisCipher]

Actually, Arc is made up mostly of former SNK team members. The guy who created GG worked on the first Last Blade. The rest of the old SNK crew went to work for Dimps or have gone independent.

I think it's just coincidence. When I've played random online, I've gotten DLC/unlockable characters before. Part of me wishes the random included character color edits, but the 5 characters are avaiable at random.

Thanx for the answer, Solidshark. Do you know if it matters if your opponent has all the DLC chars? It is REALLY strange, because I´ve played more than 100 matches in the last week with random select and those 5 chars are the only ones that have never been selected randomly. I too would like that random selection included color edits.

I'm not sure Krusan. I've never been able to tell which opponents did or didn't have all the DLC and unlocked characters unless they picked them. But I don't think it's uncommon to miss those 5 characters, even in random character selecting over 100 times.

Next year is its 20th anniversary. It's 30th will be in 10 years from now.
