The King of Fighters XIII/KOF-i News Thread

[hadoolket]

something tells me i could have had them clarify, but back then, i had no idea they were calling him "iori with the power of flames" so i just readily assumed they understood what i meant by "iori 98."

again, i'm not so much angry that all we're getting is ex karate and ex kyo (for lack of better way of expressing them right now), it's that they made them out to be a secret like this but came out with "iori with the power of flames" when he is nearly the same situation in terms of character nature.

granted, a long time ago we had to discover all the secrets for ourselves anyway in older fighting games, like real bout fatal fury special's EX characters, but back then, we also didn't have a thing called DLC.

well, and next time, be careful about the word "surprising" (i seriously hope that was a mistranslation on the professor's part, but i doubt it)

for the love of god, someone who can speak japanese please tell snkp that. i mean their marketting direction has always been pretty messy and stumbly from the beginning, but at least the guy should have learned something in the roughly just under 30 years of snk's life.

nevertheless, i'm aware that we're getting a full game plus a few extras--which i had tried telling people for a while now--and it comes jam-packed with lots of tidbits that make it look like snkp are really serious about what they're doing...speaking of which, is there a direct capture of that opening now? something with less pausing in the video?

Blog Update: Short discussion about the Story Mode.

[Gunsmith]

you know that email conversation i had with RSG a while back about the 5 characters?

an atlus moderator managed to clear up the confusion. it turns out the RSG rep i spoke with didn't understand that by "iori 98" that i was actually referring to "iori with the power of flames"

¯\(º_o)/¯ couldn't he have put two and two together

On one of the ON shows I talked about an interview with RSG where they stated that were new to KOF. Why didn't you watch it?

It's not a grave, it's like an artifact of the "Gate of Time" (which appears in Boss Saiki Stage).

Game Informer video, showing loads of different things from the console version.

Quite a nice sneak peek of Story Mode too.

[Bugle/Hawk'M]

Overall it looks nice and fleshed out similar to BlazBlue. Also, it is nice to know that you can unlock more than the 10 colors per palette for custom colors.

[ZeroSoulreaver]

Your right, the layout does remind me of BB a lot. It does look very nice, can't wait to mess with the color edits.
