Orochinagi: The King of Fighters

http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof-xiii/character/index.html Now… who will be his team members???

ST has been translating the XIII blog, which talks about Ash’s new moves etc…. Clicky here to read!

The giveaway starts now!  Not one but TWO figures, Chun Li and Yuri from the picture below.  They both stand about 10cm tall. So what do you have to do to have these sent to you, free of charge? Simple.  Just reply to this post.  The reply with the most thumbs up will win.  The [...]

Our very own Penpen has been at the HK loketest and has taken a whole load of videos. Note the cancelling in this video: Kyo cancels DP into various and then into his Neomax!!!  Check out Andy’s crossup D!  Thanks to Penpen again.  See more of his videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/penpen35

Wry Guy here.  It’s been a while since I posted a King of Fighters Love Letter, but trust me when I say the project isn’t dead.  I make the Love Letter on my personal Destructoid blog and then do my best to improve it by the time it makes it way to Orochinagi.  We don’t [...]

Back in the UK, I’m quite sore.  I was meant to meet up with Professor for the loketest.  Next best thing, we had a chat after he got back from Shinjuku. A chat with mmcafe.com’s Professor, where we discuss the loketest at Shinjuku, and jiggling.

http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof-xiii/character/index.html You can now see Takuma and Vice on SNK’s HP. If you’re wondering why Takuma’s stance looks so weird, listen to this: Takuma’s pose is allegedly inspired by Orochi Doppo, a character from the Grappler Baki anime/manga, who in turn is based on the real-life creator of Kyokushin karate, Sosai Masutatsu Oyama. You can [...]

Damn volcano.  It seems that I’ll have to fly back to London tomorrow, and miss the Shinjuku test.  So you can stop hating me now lol. However, someone we all know will be going… I might just have a special interview coming up.

NOTE: Unless the Royal Navy come to pick me up, I will be at the Shinjuku Location Test for XIII.  Look out for the MVS T-shirt! These days, any guide writing can only be done in the holidays. When we lost the old forums, we lost a wealth of strategies and guides. However, it wouldn’t [...]

if you have been reading the news, you may have realised that I cannot get back to the UK. However, if the delay continues, this could mean I might be able to attend the 2nd XIII location test in Sega Shinjuku… shall we hope for the worst?

 Don’t Panic is that good old creative arts mag in little brown packs, available free around the UK. Zen United have given them a piece of exclusive BlazeBlue artwork to put on our A2 poster (with a reverse by Brecht Vandenbroucke), see thumbnail. The artwork is designed by competition winner Daniel Lam (AKA radientdreamer) voted standout winner by [...]

First and foremost, this rundown might end up short because there are no existing videos of SkyStage in Stage 4. Also, to take a short stop on the hype that is King of Fighters XIII. After a bumpy sightseeing in Europe and meeting some Very Nice People and trying to mingle with them in the [...]

Well I’ve just returned to my hotel from Hey! in Akiba.  XIII is gone, and so has XII!  There are now THREE 2k2um machines in a prime spot, and on a Monday night, were getting hot play.  The old skool rules here.  The 98 10 yen machine is still here too.  XII’s spot was taken [...]

I’m running off to Tokyo for 10 days to check out some arcades and stuff.  I guess XIII has been taken away for development but I’ll still haunt HEY arcade for a while.  Wish me luck.

My little April fool’s was easy to spot, right?  Here’s some real XII play, with crappy Yuri vs Goro but interesting to see Clark try out his Napalm Stretch… then the highlight is probably Raiden’s color scheme, which looks awfully like a certain Marvel character…

It’s actually Miu Kurosaki from KOF EX2 Howling Blood!  So say Famitsu today, coincidentally the 1st April.  Hmmmm are they pulling our leg?  There’s no in-game screenshot…
