I dunno where to post there but I suppose it's loosely related and they mention ON.com here and of course ST; Haunts from IPW does a podcast about Pax. Starts at 26mins:

Interesting news about Kayane(not sure if I spelled her name right) playing KOF. I just hope people do try it out and go into it with open minds. I'm a bit worried it may get the MK9 or Tekken treatment by SF fanboys where they just blindly bash it. Hell, that's the only reason these games are seen as "not as good" in the first place.

Usually I ask people if they are going to play KOF and get the dumb "I'm not Mexican!" response.

this is why i get angry when people say things like "sf4 revitalized the fighting genre" and then all people do is cling to street fighter. it's just a ridiculous and egotistical statement on behalf of capcom. aside from that, the way they say it makes it sound as if there was a dead period in fighting game development for the entire 10 years, just because capcom wasn't around. capcom's like that big boss guy that shows up at the last minute and takes all the credit for what a bunch of subserviant people worked so hard at accomplishing. some people went on to say things like "without sf4 there would be no more scene" which is pretty funny, and a bit of a self-correction on their part. apparently, they really mean to only talk about the scene, not the development of fighting games. in japan, the scene wasn't so dead at all, so this is just another egotistical sentiment: the previous remark describes america's status in fighting games. what's also nice to know is that a very large majority of the fighting games are produced in japan.

even with the supposed revitalized scene, there are people who still just blow off any other franchise not capcom--mortal kombat, soul calibur, tekken, KOF, etc. and these were the branches of games that didn't quit just because capcom threw in the towel temporarily, but then people act as if capcom's some kind of hero to the fighting game genre. true, people show more interest (in america) in fighting games now thanks to sf4, but how much of a net-gain is it, really? a lot of the fanboys still attach themselves to capcom with stubborn levels that make you wonder about the possibility of autism in them (see: christian weston chandler, bless his late father).

but that's the thing, the comments about revitalizing anything is all central to america, and the irony is, the only american-produced game on the market that's relevant is mortal kombat. and yet, a lot of the (online) scene actually spits on mortal kombat (9), despite how much work actually went into that title.

the scene didn't particularly fade in japan like it did in america, and inbetween then and now, we had several doujin games and not to mention a succession of kof games and a couple tekken and soul calibur games. but somehow, capcom is the hero.

but the correction to this statement is: capcom is a hero. in america. to themselves.

[Foxhole]

Capcom did revitalize the scene though, and North America is a massive market, much bigger than Japan is. One thing a lot of old school gamers have to let go of is the Rising Sun's grasp on gaming. If Street Fighter 4 didn't come around, the interest for KOF would be less enthusiastic. Ironically, Street Fighter gave this board more life than it had for a long time, and there's nothing wrong with that. Brand loyalty for a moderately niche genre is silly.

[ZeroSoulreaver]

I think "revived" is the wrong word in this situation. Fighting games were not dead at all, but SF4 did bring new things to the table. Before SF4 we still had GG, Marvel 2,KOF, MK, Tekken, Melty Blood, AH, Soul Calibur etc. So saying the fighting game genre was dead before SF4 isn't true at all. Hell, where do you think Kayane comes from? Soul Calibur has had it's own following.

I doubt anyone has brand loyalty for SNK afer KOFXII, we all just wanna see KOF do well.

SF4 is a good game that changed things around for sure. However I hate when some people feel it was the messiah of fighters and without it we wouldn't like other games which is clearly false. Maybe newer generation gamers feel that way, but for many of us older games if SF4 wasn't around we'd still be playing other things with no problem.

KOF isn't a new series, SF4 doesn't have that much of an influence on it yet. We still have yet to fully get the SF community to find interest in the game, that's where Kayane and reaching out to pro games comes in. I just hope people can take this seriously and not shit on it like they do MK.

I'm gonna do what I can to reach out to people about KOF. I don't have any fame, pull or anything so it will be rough, but worth a shot.
