If it's like the Japanese one, its a PS2 classics version. Dont get me wrong, amazing game that everyone should own, just dont get any hopes up about online play or new modes or anything.

I had already gotten my hopes up by the time I scrolled down. :(

Edit: The Joystiq article is titled "Capcom vs SNK 2 due for PS2 Classics release in late April" so that's that.

The PS2 release was actually good afaik, but the problem is that the PS2 classics use emulation of some sort which adds input lag.

I'd rather travel to the other side of London to play the arcade version rather than play a laggy emulation, but if that's all you're gonna get, I suppose it's a pretty decent deal.

there are certain inputs that always get taken a certain way like if you try to step forward and throw a fireball the game gives the forward down forward priority over the step forward qcf input and things like that.

And it's insanely lenient on certain motions in ways that don't even make sense, like you can input DPs as HCB Fw.

Design wise not really since she shares the same silhouette as a few of the cast members already. Cheesecake boobs/butts are nice but when it's on every single character it's silly. Skullgirls should've taken a lesson from from Capcom via Street Fighter/Darkstalkers design.

There's a reason why lovely R.Mika who only appeared in one Capcom game and characters Felicia and Morrigan are popular. Go easy on the amount of sexy and maximize it on a few characters and it'll pop out to your audience more. When it's on every single character then whats the point of even creating a serious storyline? Everyone looks like a prostitute and it's hard taking the design seriously even though the animation is great.

With that said, some of the ones they're proposing look amazing and would go a long way in strengthening their visual style. The game needs more characters like Peacock and Big Band.

IIRC there's some funky inputs that can happen, both when you want them to (like you can do qcb,hcf as qcb,qcb,f, I think it is, but that also might be intentional), but also when you don't want them to, like trying to take a step forward and throw a fireball with a char that has an F, QCF super motion like Ryo.

I don't mind input leniency but when you start getting moves you have no intention of doing, then it becomes a problem.

Also, there's a four frame or so buffer on moves, so you can press C at neutral and if you push forward or back within those four frames, you get a throw.

At first I thought you meant like Peacock gameplay wise. One character that can fill the screen with bullshit is enough, tyvm.

But imagine having to super cancel a DP into a QCB,HCF super without that input for a DP. Ugh. Doing it as HCB, FW+button, QCF+button is at least manageable.

Oh woops, I just meant their visual look. I know it ruffles feathers but I really want this game to be successful outside a small circle of folks and visuals do a lot for people outside the fighting game community. I prefer it's animation to to just about everything that's out aside from 3rd Strike and KOF.

I obtained this title through beard tax.

The KOF13 alternate inputs are necessary and intended as a result of them making simple specials (DP/fireball) have more leniency. I think it's a pretty great way to do it because it allows people to get into it at a funhaver level pretty easily while presenting clear options for advanced combos for people who know what to do. That said they could have done a better job of explaining it within the game. It keeps most of the familiarity for older KOF players with the signature ranbu/maiden masher inputs while making it easier for people who haven't been playing it for years. There's still a few exceptions where you run into them giving you the wrong thing and there's no other option (like Kyo's midscreen HD with the dp xx running grab stuff), but overall I think it's a pretty elegant way to deal with 3 distinct levels of KOF specific execution.

That said I have a huge boner for the game.

getitoffgetitoff posted:

Given that hot teacher has no description on her playstyle except "fights like a teacher, also hilarious fighting game references" and her main inspirations are fairly bland Rival Schools characters (every other game mentioned doesn't even have a character listed, so I can only assume they're using in references but don't directly influence her playstyle), while Sharknerd is based on Slayer, and Anvildudley is based on Dudley and Steve, I have no idea how you can think this. I mean, the only thing you can really glean from the teacher's description outside of cosmetic stuff is that she might have counters, because Kyoko, Hayato, and Hideo were pretty drat vanilla as far as gameplay mechanics went. Hell, Hideo is literally Ryu with a divekick--he even has the same supers. Even as characters they were decidedly less than memorable.

Meanwhile a lot of the characters Stanley and Andy are based on had immensely memorable and character defining gameplay mechanics. Slayer's backdash cancel invulnerability, links in a game where almost everything was a chain combo from Slash onward, the dandy step system (especially once its FRC was added), Dudley's incredible corner combos, Steve having his kick buttons all replaced by ducking and weaving, the list goes on.

...And so I donated to the kickstarter. :v:

Except it's not really hard to super cancel DPs in qcb,hcf in most KOFs since the shortcut of d(b), b, f works and is much easier than a system with hosed up input priority and overlapping motions.

They aren't necessary. At all.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with how the characters felt from the Atomiswave-era on.
The alternate inputs actually make A LOT of things actually harder to do than in older KOFs, which is the exact opposite of what Playmore intended.
Controls that are way too loose are just as bad as controls that are way too stiff.

forget about doing anything off a dash without stopping long enough to see the char stop...unless you intended to do a running dp. running anything else...might be asking for trouble.

this is mainly the problem the game holds on to your inputs far too long for moves.

Even though SF4 is my favorite fighting game to play, for your purposes I don't think it's a great choice. If you just want to have fun with your friends and don't really care to work your way toward high level play or whatever, then SF4 is going to just feel really boring. I feel like KOF98 is actually really fun to play when everyone is pretty new.
