IMO 3S is the natural evolution of ST and yall too bad to get it

it turned FGs from rock paper scissor to rock paper scissor AWESOMEPARRY

they released two trailers showing off the entire character roster

also the game has more game modes, characters, and stages than sf5

LOL

also here's a live stream of the game itself on twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/snkofficial

I bet it does have more because those graphics are rear end

SF5 looks bad and has no modes so I don't think that correlation means a hell of a lot.

3s is basically HeroQuest only you're both DMs and adventurers and you have to do it all in less than a second a lot, if you're the kind of self hating goon that constantly tries to confound expectations about yourself for fear anyone finds out you're secretly an empty cliche of a person, 3s may be the game for you!

once i got good enough at it that antiairing became a parry centered abstract concept (this takes like one day of applied effort at the game) i never touched it again because tbh "punish dude who's jumping in on you" shouldn't be something multiple yomi levels also i hate divekicks

it's just another layer on top of an already more complicated AA system than "punish dude that's jumping in on you", like p much all games that don't have single strong AA normals that either cover the range or don't, most anti airing in nuanced and it's just adding the same level of reads that you get in every other part of 3s

you basically have to accept fully that everything in 3s is uncertain and bask in its glory

I like that it exposes you to having to try more options that you wouldn't usually think of, whether walk unders, jump backs, dash back dash in throw, multi hit AAs, multi hit AAs you only do the first hit of then throw when they try to double parry and land early and so on, you can also make your jump ins parry safe a lot of the time and trip guard is huge in the game, I don't really get why people want it to be simple because it reduces your offensive options too

KOFXIV is a game with 50 different fighters made by, at best, a moderately sized company. The reason they left high-end sprites is because they couldn't afford to do it. Switching from high-end 2D to high-end 3D would bring the company nearly back to where they were. Each character is made on the cheap so the game doesn't cost an arm and a leg to make and the characters can be completed relatively quickly. They can't afford the time and money to do Xrd or SFV quality models.

KOF XIV still looks pretty bad, but it looked so awful in that first trailer that now it's almost The Order in comparison. It looks worse than SFV.

Eh, I dunno if I agree. I don't think SFV looks amazing, but it kinda has an identity going on, in terms of UI and presentation. XIV looks kinda...dated? It actually reminds me of early-gen PS3 games. In terms of character design it's also doing the SF thing of cartoony realism, and I don't think it's doing it any better. I mean, Andy and Terry are giving Ken a run for his money. They seem to have upped their stage game tho, the first ones were bad but everything that showed up recently looks slick as hell.

Nah KOF characters look pretty bad. It's a pretty generic art style mixed with PS2 graphics. But w/e maybe that just means if it gets ported to PC in two years it'll run on my garbage laptop. The 3D models are pretty much strictly worse than their old sprites, but that's what it takes to get a new game made with lots of characters, I guess.

Not saying the 3D models aren't underwhelming compared to their 2D sprites, but those sprites are so god drat expensive to make that going 3D was the only way that SNK wasn't going to shoot themselves in the foot with a new KoF installment

Now I can see what people were saying when they were bitching that the original Blazblue characters looked like Guilty Gear characters way back in the day.

SNK could have still gone 2D. The problem was that they wanted to go with dot to dot accurate pixel shading. There is literally no other 2D type of graphics to do that is more difficult than what they were doing. Their sprites took twice as long to do than Blazblue despite being less than half the resolution.

The game will likely get a PC port soon. SNK commented that one of the reasons for their comeback was due to strong PC sales of their titles, specifically KOF.

I just added both you guys. I might not be able to play until next weekend as I don't even have Fightcade downloaded at all and don't have much time this week. But I'll definitely be around in the future. I'm down to play whatever, but am specifically interested in SamSho, is there a group for people playing 5 on fightcade?

3rd Strike is a good game, y'all.

KOF still looks bad but it makes sense considering the number of characters in the game; SFV looks way better overall.

VVV OK. :jerkbag:

KOF14 decided to look like a f2p Chinese MMO in favor of being able to make more characters; still failed to put Yamazaki in the game.

Might as well have made the graphics good.

SFV sure as hell doesn't look perfect, but it has a consistent visual style that has a bit of character to it so I can forgive it for being ugly in places. KoF just looks kind of soulless, like the models need more detail or something, can't put my finger on it. It doesn't look bad, just bland in that Japanese kind of way. I'll probably play it if it's fun and they do a good job on the PC port.

I'll be semi-curious how KOF14 turns out, but it's visuals look bad. Period. They're simply not up to technical snuff at all - the characters look like literal original xbox fighting game characters (I didn't believe it at first, but someone showed me side-by-side screenshots from that era's DoA).
