King of Fighters XIII: Mad_KOF ascends to god-tier
This game needs Vanessa so I can team her up with Shen Woo to punch the crap out of people. No such luck it sounds like. I wish I could see images but work is a cockblocking mistress.
Oh good. New KoF13 info came out while I was asleep.
Yuri: yay!
King: meh
Mai: I despise everything about that character. From the way she looks to the way she plays.
I'm hoping Vanessa makes it, and that the game is playable in more ways than local versus.
Edit:
I'm also curious whose going to finish off the Ryo, Robert, ? team. I'm trying to remember, have they ever had anyone other than Yuri and Takuma in their team? Takuma might be a possibility then.
I'd love to see Yamazaki, Vice, Vanessa and my secret hope for a super secret boss, completely unrevealed until you're finally playing the game and you beat the normal boss, Rugal or whoever they put in, then...
Just got home after dicking around in the arcade for a bit. Here's my writeup:
- Mai, Yuri, King, some not yet revealed characters (already mentioned in the thread)
- New stages (including a Japanese festival, UK bus terminal, a jungle, and some elephant party in India)
- EX moves: they can have more hits, be invincible, juggled off of, be faster, and some projectiles go through others
- Yuri's EX Raiouken shoots two fbs
- Raiden's EX Giant Bomb can be juggled off of
- EX supers cost 2 bars
- You can "Drive Cancel" specials at the cost of super meter
- At max Hyper Drive bar you can activate Hyper Drive Mode to temporarily get infinite DCs
- Mai has giant bouncing tits
- Mai got j.Ced out of a super
- Super bar fills really quickly even on block
- Release THIS SUMMER
- Will be in Tougeki C group
- I got a free cup given to the first 100 people who lined up
"-New "drive cancel" system allows for players to cancel a special or super into another one. Requires the use of the drive meter. EX moves can be used.
-New "Hyper Drive" mode. When the drive meter is at MAX, you can go into the Hyper Drive mode which lets you do infinite drive cancels for a limited time."
edit: I'm way too hyped for this. Need to sleeeeeep.
Drive Cancel sounds nice, reminiscent of KoF'02 (iirc) and Hyper Drive sounds exactly like '99.
I still miss Blue Mary, and I wonder who'll fill the slot between Kim and Raiden. Fatal Fury extras team... Marley? Jin? Probably not Yamazaki, since Kim's all "go go good team!" now without Chang and Choi.
Also, with Mature as an actual team member, I guess it's no longer canon that she and Vice DIED at the end of 96? I thought Mature was put on home consoles as a kind of non-canon fanservice, but if she's in the actual arcade and this is a saga finale, it's official, right?

I don't think it was ever technically canon, just heavily implied by their absence (correct me if I'm wrong). After they got beat up in the ending, they were still conscious. Plus, both Eiji and Billy survived a similar assault by Iori.
But I don't mind. I like Mature & Vice.
Cherrn on
All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.
I wouldn't ever worry much about whose dead and whose alive in a fighting game. If they deem fit or if they're popular enough they'll be brought back regardless. Heck SFIV had 3 "dead" characters in it.

Gen, Rose and...
Rose was dead? Make that four then. Gen, Rose (apparantly), Dictator, and Gouken were all dead before SFIV. I think Gouken's was the best. He was actually buried by Ryu and then reveled to have been "asleep." Don't trust Ryu in a medical emergency.
Rose is supposed to die at the end of Alpha or something.
And given the timeline of SF, I thought it goes SF1, Alpha (1-3), SF2, SF4, SF3.
But hey, it's Capcom. Leave it to them to not get their own shit right. It's all about fan service and cross-game referencing!
Eiji not liking Robert and Ryo is something I wasn't aware of. I never did like the Art of Fighting series of games much. I just want to see more ninjas. Eiji had a full movelist, and looked pretty badass, and hasn't seen much game action since '95. Even the USA team has been in more than one KoF. That's sad.

I heard the Bison (dictator) was supposedly Killed at the End of Alpha 3 and took over Rose's body while shadowloo built him a new one. then he pulled the same trick at the end of SSF2. hence why Both Rose and Bison are in SF4?
Anyways I'm hyped about Mai being back in as I always had her on my team with Terry and Ryo.
OP updated with lots of info and some screenshots and youtube videos!
I'm way too excited for this game to think straight. I'm heading to Akihabara this weekend for the loketest. Also, I don't think any info about this game has gotten me more excited than this screenshot:
I'm a sucker for custom character intros. It looks like they're in the same style as SvC, which were awesome.

I miss the Ralf and Clark custom intro from 96/97.

I'm stoked that King is going to be in this one, but didn't the previous KoF have a lot of faults in its fighting system and online play?
I don't think it had faults in it's fighting system. I'm also not sure anyone played it long enough to really delve into the system. The game was dropped super fast, even in arcades. the online was terrible though. At least on release. I hear they may have done some sort of patch for the PS3 version, but the damage had been done at that point and it didn't do anything to save the game.

Fancy cancelling is ending a combo with a taunt to reduce recovery? hype!
edit: looks like next to no hope for vanessa, yamazaki or whip now.
Oh well, at least yuri is in.
I don't know why they chose to put such an obscure character right on the front of the page.
Updated OP once I get off work.

Also, KoF footage!

So, King, Mai and yuri confirmed so far. 3 unconfirmed but apparently hizoku members.
Seriously though, wtf? Why hizoku? Plus there's already duo lon, so there's lin and... who else?
edit: oh wait.
So, 12 new characters? Plus motherfucking yamazaki as a possibility? Huzzah!
Woo hoo!
12 new characters! Or so I've been told at least! Yes!
You've worked hard SNK!
So goddamn hyped. This year is a good year for fighting games.
edit:
Yuri looks so happy and bubbly. Gotta love her attitude.
double edit: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=20448139&postcount=611
Yeah!
KoF13 is where the goddamn hype is right now!
Yuri: yay!
King: meh
Mai: I despise everything about that character. From the way she looks to the way she plays.
I'm hoping Vanessa makes it, and that the game is playable in more ways than local versus.
Edit:
I'm also curious whose going to finish off the Ryo, Robert, ? team. I'm trying to remember, have they ever had anyone other than Yuri and Takuma in their team? Takuma might be a possibility then.
http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Khushnood_Butt
Man, that page got me remembering, Khushnood was apparently hunting yamazaki, so maybe they can both appear in the game?
I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I can't help hoping.

Give Eiji to Robert and Ryo's team!
And yeah, I like Mature and Vice. Give Vice all the moves she had from CvS2k and give Mature a much bigger movelist than KoF12. Needs moar mixups!
Steam: TheArcadeBear
Nope. Never had an air super before.
Looks like his Orochinagi though.
Gen, Rose and...

Eiji hates both Robert and Ryo. I don't think that'd go well.

Fuck it, if K' is confirmed then I'm sold. If Rock is also in then I'm double sold.
GETTING HYPE!!!!!!!!!!
