Maxima

Kenshiro

ShadowTempest reports that Kenshiro’s Seiyuu/Voice Actor this time around is Katsuyuki Konishi, aka Maxima from KOF and Kamina from Gurren Lagann. Rei is Takehito Koyasu, who we know as Shingo’s VA.  It’s a bit of a jump, unless Rei is going to start screaming like a girl, or Takehito finally managed to stop drinking coffee. If you look at his career, you’ll see a whole load of young boys and girls, which I guess is his speciality.  Vigorous perhaps, but Rei certainly wasn’t youthful.

How will this pan out?  How will the fans react?  I remember watching the US dubbing of the “movie” and only recently saw the original series in Japanese.  Perhaps I’ve got cotton wool in my ears, but I thought the voices for Ken and Rei suited fine, although More..

I find it kind of ironic that the 360’s unlockable awards are referred to as achievements. Now don’t get me wrong – gaming is a great hobby, but I wouldn’t say it’s one where you ever actually achieve anything. So while a mountain climber might justifiably be proud of scaling some forbidding height or a literary collector gratified in finding a rare first edition I just can’t imagine anything I manage to do in a video game being something I’d consider an ‘achievement’. So needless to say I won’t be bragging to the hot girl at work how I saved all the Little Sisters in Bioshock… More..

I scanned the trading / battle cards that I bought while I was in Japan and added them to the gallery.  I’m going to dig up my old ones and put them back up here to compare.

I’ll add this to the gallery later, as my laptop has some weird problem with loading the gallery url for some reason.  And I still can’t get a network running.  For the noobs, B+C refers to calling out your striker in kof 2k, where K’, Maxima, Vanessa and Ramon were a team. More..

Dark Chaotix made this video for Cyberfanatix on his own and it’s his first attempt at editing, facing some technological issues – i.e. combos are good, editing is not so good.  It’s definitely still worth a watch and has some creative combos.

With the recent updates of SNK Playmore’s KOF Themed Danmaku, KOF SkyStage. I might do a series of Stage Rundowns of this game, depending of the Updates.

Let’s Start off with, of course, Stage 1 (Japan Stage)

We are in the Osakan Skies Starting at SNKP’s Headquarters (LOL). There we battle various enemies such as the Nukamawarus, Purple Varieties of Nukakayoi, Kikakatama (or shall I say, Burning People!!!), Habashitas and the Kagachime. More..

Taito Type x2 has been emulated / hacked / bootlegged.  What does this mean to us?  Not much.

SonicTempest reports:

It’s not so much an emulator as a loader. The Type-X2 hardware is already basically an x86 PC running Windows XP embedded. The only special things are obviously the specialized hardware as well as a hardware dongle that must be present for games to be booted. More..

EVO 2010. If you’re a member of SRK, vote for XII to be the 7th game in the tournament line up. It’s not going to win, of course – 3s or MVC will win, but that’s not the point. Show SRK that KOF fans still exist. Remember that SRK did try to work with Ignition when they noticed the hype over XII i.e. take over the tournaments! SRK knows what’s up… More..
