King of Fighters XIII Gameplay Trailer

if they add vanessa, day 1.

Cool. Looks great. I  actually will probably pick this one up, unlike XII. Feel real bad for SNK; they blew a great opportunity with that last one. They really rode the success that Street Fighter IV was getting. People were excited for the return of the fighting game, and here's KOF XII bringing the 2D action while SFIV was going 3D. But KOF XII didn't blow up; people mostly slammed it for balance issues and a busted online experience (always a killer for a modern fighting game). It's not going to pick up any new fans now, but hopefully XIII will actually be fun and polished. 
 
Also, Mai's back. XD

Cool art style. Too bad every post-MK9 fighting game is so underwhelming to me, probably because of, yo, MK9.

Awesome! :D
Can't wait! Heck, I've been waiting for this one since last year!

Man, KOF is looking snazzy these days. Might have to check this out

Sweet, when did they remake SF3?

Brings back memories :)

Still not buying it, though.

After years of contemplating buying XII, I can now do the same with XIII.

this game looks so good, definite get.

That's funny. Because I don't understand how MK9's stilted, overly canned, poorly transitioning animations can make ANY competitor's fighting game seem underwhelming. Just wait until you play a fighting game with, y'know, GOOD, RESPONSIVE animations. With free-form combat, where moves magically flow into each other regardless of whether or not the developers made a canned combo to accomodate them. Like literally every other fighting game franchise in the industry, be it Street Fighter, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, or even WWE All Stars.  "Dial-a-kombos" do not a good fighting game make. Which is a shame because MK9 has really great content and cool visuals. But it's all wasted on a sh*tty core game.

 The  Dial-A-Combo system is only a small  part of the combos in the game.  MK9 is in fact MUCH more about the juggles than the dial a combo.   Some of which can require very specific timing  such at juggling off of the end of Cyrax's X-Ray attack.

That juggle is incredibly easy to hit though, it's not that specific at all. I can't really take MK seriously because once you get past the 'cool' fatalities it's a very sterile and dull game. The animations and clunky feel of the game are horrible. There's a reason why the streams for it are so empty compared to MVC and Street Fighter.  This game looks pretty decent but I'm not really up for learning another fighter.

Secondly, just because the game "feels" clunky doesn't mean it is.  

MK9 is the first tournament viable game of the series not to mention a lot of street fighter guys have picked up on MK.
