Orochinagi: The King of Fighters

Tweet With the King Of Fighters XIII nigh for home console, it’s only fitting to welcome it with a quality display of combos from the arcade version. Enter Kofunion member Lost Feather with his Volume 2 entry for the series, and man does he deliver! My picks?? I like every combo in this vid, but [...]

Tweet There is nothing else to say – this was a FANTASTIC event!!!  No need for hype – you can see and hear the crowd go nuts for KOF XIII and most of them haven’t even seen it before!   It was truly shocking…. Watch live video from EXDRAGON Project on Justin.tvThanks to Gamespot UK [...]

Tweet Hi again to all those who joined us on the show last night, had a lot of fun talking to you all and watching KOF together.  ON Shows will be less frequent until academic holidays (as you know I’m a teacher)… so make the most of it when there’s one announced! The ON Show [...]

Tweet Maxmode continues to upload videos from the recent KOF XIII Console Tournament / Presentation at Paris Manga. Just pop over to Maxmode to see the two others, which culminate in the Beginner’s Tournament finals! MORE COMING SOON. [VIDEOS] Paris Manga 2011 – MAXMODE – KOF XIII.

Tweet Here at Orochinagi HQ, we’ve been playing The King of Fighters ’95, impressed with the netcode and some of the crazy players we’ve seen online. However, there was this looming feeling that it was a temporary measure, a quick blast from the past, filler for the yawning gap in waiting for a certain something [...]

Tweet As much as ON appreciates your support for buying through Amazon, and that it’s 99% sure that such a major retailer will honour the pre-order bonus, at the same time, the hardcore fans deserves a 100% guarantee, and the UK fan may well find this particular deal hard to beat: you can pick up [...]

Tweet Why is this important?  Does the name Duelling the KOF ring a bell?  Dune has been responsible for running tournaments in Japan for years, aeons, even.  He’s been streaming on Nico Nico and pretty much keeping the scene going alongside the arcade tournaments.  He’s also rather good at the KOF, although he hasn’t played [...]

Tweet No it’s alright, you don’t need to thank me for bridging the communities together   SpekSNK were looking for answers so  I put them in touch with RSG.  And now they’ve managed to scoop a little bit more info from Yen, with Netcode info and more on the reversable DVD covers! What is interesting [...]

Tweet SpekSNK reported the showing of KOF XIII at Gamefest in Madrid.  They went to test the beta version of the game for the PlayStation 3 and what they found that the only console with the game that was available was broken, so the game could not be shown beyond a logo on the Bandai-Namco [...]

Tweet So you may have read over at SVC or Mmcafe about how the Japanese Magazine Arcadia posted some very confusing information on how Saiki was a 360 exclusive while Billy will only be found on the PS3.  To add more fuel to the fire, recently at the Paris Manga show it was found that [...]

Tweet With all this Tekken vs SF in the news, it’s about time we started talking about KOF versus Marvel, or Mortal Kombat, Yatagarasu, Chaos Code or Pony Fighter. If you’re on facebook, you can vote on this poll here (tell a friend!). If you’re on orochinagi, you can vote on the poll on the [...]

Tweet What a weekend!  For a first time it was pretty well organised apart from the interruption of SFIV taking over the stream for a while.  That won’t happen again   Big thanks to General Skirmish for directly capturing so many matches in HD.  I’ve noticed that there is a big difference in quality on [...]

Tweet You may have heard of Kayane.  If not, she’s a SFIV and Soul Calibur player, and she’s pretty damn good, ranking top 5 in France and top 10 in the world.  Now why would a KOF fan care?  Well, she decided to try out a new game that was on show at Take All [...]

Tweet The Institute for the Liberal Arts at Doshisha University are planning a Japan Day and Student Fair in London on October 8th, 2011, 3p.m.-7p.m. Come and see for yourself what’s on offer at our Japan Day and Student Fair: The day includes various hands on activities such as manga drawing, sushi making and calligraphy [...]

Tweet DISCLAIMER: In this column, El Penny makes the statement “we all know XIV is under development”.  This was his opinion, not a fact.  I (Gunsmith) have no idea if XIV is under development, and it is my understanding that many plans depend on the success of XIII.  I would like to apologise to our [...]

Tweet Taken lots of videos, mostly non technical: menus, Kyo’s alternate costume with Iori colours, Black Liz, mission mode, option screens, stuff like that.  I’m not as technical as Frionel and since none of us have played the game as much as the Americans or French, it’s hard to see what has changed from the [...]
