It's a free to play MMO style fighting game by Jade Studios, owned by Tencent QQ (the same company who owns Riot Games of LoL). While many characters are clones, it is a serious effort being put forth to make a solid game, and was even featured at huge gaming events in China (TGA) and demoed by top Chinese KoF players. Also, the moves may look similar, but they have different properties and the characters don't play the same as the characters they are derived from, so it's not like the game is a lazy 1:1 rip with no thought put into it. If you like KoF you'll probably like this game unless the clone designs really bother you that much. If you don't like KoF, I can almost guarantee you're going to hate this game.

Well I said 98 specifically for a reason. The game feels exactly like 98, from the rolling to the hops all the way down to cr.BA. If you're familiar with XIII, it's going to feel way different. Basically I'm just saying this so you don't get your hopes up or anything. I love the game, just about everything about it, it has everything I could ever want in a KoF game. It's got good mobility, high damage, resets are great, Kim with boobs, even two button throws (a big one for a lot of KoF veterans, but I never liked 1 button throws). I know Dustloop for the most part doesn't really care about KoF so I'd hate for you to get excited only to play the game and realize you don't like it.

How much you enjoy the game can be directly linked to how much you enjoy playing KoF98. If you don't like KoF you are 99% guaranteed not going to like this either.

So you say "Who needs those fags from the PS1 era" and then say the game needs a PS1 era character. Super.

Dude, you never played Medieval? Maaaaaan, that game was so fun. If you don't plan on playing the game, just expect Sir Dan to be the Ike of this game, huge range and stupid slow attack speed, but great priority.

He got super nerfed. I still think the 4.3 tiers apply, but the top tier just got slightly condensed. As I see it in no particular order: S: Blaziken, Combusken, Gardevoir A: Gengar, Lopunny, Lucario B: Swalot, Snorlax, Breloom All of the top tiers got slightly worse and all of the low tiers got slightly better, but it wasn't enough to switch up the tiers. Basically the character who got changed the most was Blaziken, and he really was the best character in the game for a number of reasons and no one else could really compete if the Blaziken player was on the ball.

Nicalis seems to be open to a PC/Steam port on their Twitter. Let them know you want to see it on something other than 3DS and maybe we'll get it! I'm sure if they get enough feedback to put it on another platform they'll consider it.

Let's all contact Nicalis to get US 3S commentators in the game to replace Kokujin, Tokido, and KSK. I've personally started an online campaign to get Dr. Sub Zero in talking to everyone involved in any way. Feel free to talk to whoever to get your favorite commentators in, but I think the game needs John Dangerous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DACw0z3b_uM Who want's to help?

That was 1st Impression. Revolve is an entirely different game and actually not broken. Imbalanced maybe, but still good. Mizuumi probably still has a bad taste in their mouth from BBB1.

At EVO there was a guy who swore up and down that Sly Cooper was hands down the best character in the game SSSSS++++++ Tier because all you had to do was mash triangle to win, and that worked out pretty well for him until he ran into my Heihachi, who shut him down every time with EWGF. Frankly this whole thing where everyone has some really absurdly broken tool or game plan in certain situations makes me pretty excited for the game. I really hope there's a training mode in the final version so I can test out juggles, which I feel are going to be very important in the later stages of the game.

Maybe not quite so "Jack of all trades and master of everything hit the god damn deck here comes this mother fucker," but everyone has something that makes them stupid and it's really about playing to those strengths to build meter, which of course is necessary to win.

I liked how no one could agree on what the dumbest stuff was, like everyone was broken.

See, every time someone says this I just kinda get confused. The only thing that looks like Tameem is the haircut. If Dante had a different haircut, they'd look nothing alike. Literally everything about their facial structure and shape is different.

Played this game at EVO and it was awesome. Hated it the first time I played it, but the more I played and understood the game the more I liked it. Also, Heihachi is bullshit. Some guy there was trying to say that Sly Cooper was S Tier because he had one move he could abuse, but every time he tried it I just hit him with EWGF and juggled him for a ton of meter.

But Athena is already in the game

If there's a Thumbs.db file in your main folder, try deleting it. Their website went down and I guess they're trying to fix it, or maybe they stopped, I don't know. I don't think they went bankrupt, but they don't seem to be bringing back their blog any time soon. I doubt there will be any updates unless the website comes back.

Alrighty, I got the game working, I can record, if there's anything anyone wants to see, I can try to get it up. If you have any questions, I can do that too.

I can't wait for top tier Flash because NRS is incapable of making a speed character not broken.

So I don't suppose anyone has found a way for us non-Chinese residents to be able to play this game. I'd pay for it if I had to, I just want to play the damn thing.

Jesus Christ Shan Woo is some kind of unholy abominable combination of Terry, Ralf, and Maxima. It doesn't look like any of his attacks are original.

I think you can wiggle out of the stagger like in GG though, so there's the possibility of escape.

If you can tech Painwheel's tag, which is a god damn throw on hit (even in mid combo), I don't see why you couldn't tech a stagger throw. Maybe it's a Cerebella specific thing or something because of command throws.

Maybe you can make it so that purple throws only work in certain states, like a stagger state or something, so that the throw/continue combo mixup is still there, but there's more obvious points as to when it can happen as opposed to any point during a combo.
