but they really need to 3d it up a bit and maybe take a more realer approach to the combat and ai. Kinda like a ea mma/boxing game, but with all the japanese styles intact.

First off, we don't want want SNK doing 3D games. We all know what happenswhen SNK does 3D games.

Second... "realer?" Nobody wants "realistic fighting games. We like our fighters crazy. :D

Thanks for putting it on youtube with normal resolution. Appreciate that you started doing that for us

So many fighting games look cool, but I'm so bad and could never decide which to stick with anyway. I figured ryan would ask for a mai plug, thanks R dawg. Physics before physics was a thing.

@Vortextk: I don't use sticks at all ... only gamepads.

Custom colors? Time to de-pants Yuri again.

Edit: Okay, maybe not this time. She looks like she's 12.

Hey I don't know about you but if my fighting game doesn't have extremely bad racism and lolis with no pants I'm not buying it.

Any game that lacks racism and pedophilia is not a fighting game in my book.

YEAAAAAAAAH. Sold.

omg 720p video (hope it's intentional). Thanks for this Giant Bomb

re: netcode

A story came out last week saying that KOFXIII's netcode is based on the XII code. Tweaked here and there but essentially the same code. So, online might be dodgy AGAIN. T_T

This is a 2D game with limited 3D rendering to complicate the roll back process. There is no reason whatsoever for them to use anything other than GGPO. Unacceptable SNK.

FINALY A HD UPLOAD! THANK YOU GIANT BOMB, I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS FOR ALONG TIME!

NOW KEEP UPLOADING THE QUICK LOOKS HD IN THE FUTURE AS WELL!

/ LOVE!

I played too much KoF 99/00 in my last year of high school... probably to the detriment of my own education.

Can't toggle the bullshit blur filter on the character sprites and the game doesn't support (most or all, not sure) wired USB controllers... And specifically the "NeoGeo Stick 2" that SNKP themselves put out.

So much for the PS3 copy that I bought.

I'm done.

@Soniku: What are you talking about? I've been playing this game using my Arcade Stick for days now, I'm sure it will work.

YOU ALREADY GOT BILLY AND SAIKI?! FUCK YOU JEFF I'VE BEEN PLAYING KOF XIII FOR DAYS AND STILL HAVEN'T GOT THEM!

Good to hear Joe has the same voice actor since like, forever. Skipped out on KOF12, but I'm liking how this one looks.

Is anyone else now want a Capcom vs SNK 3?

On PS3?

From what I read, it's a problem with only certain USB devices. I believe ones that aren't official or don't have a Home button or something. People are having the same problem with converter boxes.

It's fine on 360.

Check SRK, I'm too lazy to find the thread, but it's in Tech somewhere.

MAI is so deformed now it's no longer hot.

So uuhh... this is what happens when you hold Siri dictation up to this QL:

"it feels mechanical Pennsylvania physical manual that one but also that is all that is the biggest pussy on. They exhausted but it was one of the game of disc that begins when you are but if you aren't out yet I don't want to ruin the story. "

Thank you Giant Bomb for higher quality videos! I never complained in the first place as I'm not one to do so, but this is still great! Thanks again! =)

I love the older KOF games on the NeoGeo. Not too convinced on these new ones.

Sigh, KOF animations are insane. Wish arc studio could learn a thing or 2.

@Vortextk: That was my pitiful attempt at humor. xD

Drive cancels and HD mode were hardly even touched upon, those are huge parts of the Combo system!

XIII is the first good KoF game since 2k2 as far as I'm concerned, and it's definitely worlds better than SFIV.

This looks so damn sexy! Auuuuugh!

Still gotta like all the crazy backgrounds in these games.

Can you animate a group of South American native tribesmen spectating at a fight and have it not be racist? I'm just wondering what a non-racist version would look like. Game looks damned awesome, though.

The best way to do that would be to not animate a group of South American native tribesmen.

Isn't that a sort of racism, as well? It seems to suggest that any depiction of South American native tribesmen is going to be unflattering, therefore it's best to exclude them and similar peoples from representation in a game to avoid controversy.

Holy shit, animation has done great things for tits.

This game looks amazing.

@WalkerD: You just took my words straight outta my mouth.

Ryan please don't confuse Blazblue's anime bullshit with Guilty Gear's supreme fighting
