KOF XII Official Rant Thread

[Gunsmith]

Damn, I have to say that's so good I'm not even sure it's a fake.
However, It could be photoshopped then simply plug your pc into the monitor. No ingame sprites, no deal. I'll call fake.

Fred, you should have waited for the patch!!! End of August.... and if that don't work, then I'm doomed to play underwater kof for life.

Wait to hear if the patch is good then get another XII from ebay

At the moment there are like 16 rooms online for KOF XII: most are japanese, 1 is French, 1 Hong Kong, 1 Bahamas, 1 Canada, 1 USA. I am literally the only Brit hosting a room.

Some people really don't understand the red bar connection thing. It's very annoying. Three guys on headsets screaming "GET OUT GET OUT" and still the red bar guy will sit there, lagging up everyone. THEN when we finally let him fight, he realises we're playing in mud and disconnects. IDIOT

I can say it's fake, Mai's name should have been displayed as MAI SHIRANUI rather than MAI, like other Characters like LEONA HEIDERN, RALF JONES or CLARK STILL have names displayed "in full".

KIM

I heard it was due to racism!

[Frederick]

Wasn't it Clark Steel....

They scared of Kim Kaphwan? how da heck was dat racist? unless they put decided to call him Kimchi klapshands............

checks ebay for cheap kof 12s...............

wtf why is kof selling at regular or near retarded gamestop price on it! blasphemy!

what? there's always ggpo kof for non underwater kof 98 (ya my fav) and you get treated to the sight of watching some moron spamming 9898989898989898 jajajajajajaja

the patch is still so far off in my mind. End of august? the game came out in july 28. Now I know snk doesn't have the resources of capcom or sammy but still a whole month of letting your customers suffer underwater kof? that is just wrong. plus it sounded like the netpatch update wasn't even tested properly when they tested locally for it from what i read at the ignition forums . they should have been testing between like japan between europe, usa, taiwan, china.

bahamas? that's new. didn't see that in my hunt for just a room to play in. search results are generally 3 or 4 pages at peak hours and most of them are red bars!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeee

it is very annoying. some idiot came in and just sat there after a yellow bar match. host put on the headphone and tried to explain to him politely to get out it will lag but doesn't listen for 5 minutes. i left and did more searching and went back to the room because it was the only yellow bar room in the results and saw the idiot was still there for at least 10 minutes. that patch seriously better have a kick someone option and a leave while spectacting button (I'm sitting through an entire boring match just because i popped into the room right when they start)

That is what SNKP officially call him now.

They dropped the name KAPHWAN, there were various reasons. I guess one of the reasons has something to do with the real Kim Kaphwan (who was the president of Viccom, which distributed SNK games in Korea in the 90's and the developer of Fight Fever) from what I heard.

STEEL became STILL, I think this was because of Superman. (CLARK Kent, Man of STEEL) SNKP did not want to cross paths with DC Comics, so they swerved back and changed it to STILL. But these are urban legends why they are called like that now.

So Gamespot's GOTY awards are already decided but I saw this afterwards and lol'd heartily:

May not be the thread to post an obituary...

Raiden's Seiyuu in KOF XII has passed away...

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... asses-away
(Also known to play as Mr. Satan in DBZ, Heihachi in Tekken, etc.)

Looks like Raiden will be re-voiced in XIII if he reappears.

Condolences.

That's sad. Stick on the front page so everyone knows.

OTL And nobody knows what happened to Shingo Yabuki~ I know he's a Kyo rip-off without flames, but i like that guy!
Also, the last i heard from him is when he went to NESTS with Benimaru and Goro to save Kyo and got defeated or whatever bla bla bla
and now he's in the hospital recovering and Chizuru wishes him to get well soon LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL~

Shingo-kun is always outta spotlight~ *draws circle in the corner*
