For those of you people who have been living under a rock, the US/EU release of King of Fighters XII has been met with tons of anger and RAAAAGE.
* First off Gamestop botches the street date by releasing the game early (which is often unheard of for Gaystop, who are actually known for releasing games late). Whether this early release was intentional out is up for debate.
* Then KoF XII gets released with UNPLAYABLE, horrible netcode. Worse than SF4's and this is to people who are nearby you.
* On top of that, content that's considered now STANDARD BREAD AND BUTTER for fighting games is not included. No Survival, no Challenge, etc. I would let this one go, but if they really wanted KoF XII to be a "rebirth" meant for the mainstream neophytes who can't do a basic B&B Combo with Kyo, they NEED to put the shit that makes the game PLAYABLE FOR THOSE CASUAL PLAYERS SNKP THINKS THEY'RE CATERING TO. Additionally this game costs 60 fucking dollars retail. A 60 fucking dollar game should be more complete than this.
* SNKP then plans a patch for the netcode on Tuesday.
* While we wait for the patch, the shoddy netcode gets glamorized on Kotaku. On top of that players find a game-breaking handcuff bug with Raiden vs. Elizabeth that does requires almost NO set up to do. Just one DM stock and getting Raiden's only grab DM to hit.
* Then the patch comes. Patch forces you to download a 700 MB file. Patch doesn't do shit.
Ignition and the rest of the SNK community at Ignition forums and SRK forums have had enough of this shit. Let your voice be heard. Don't let SNKP Japs set a precedent for future KoF and other SNK titles with shoddy releases like this. Ignition is hearing you, and they too are pushing SNKP to smarten the fuck up and to do this game's release properly. Netcode is the upmost priority. GGPO or GTFO. Add to the chorus here. Please be mature, succinct, and eloquent about how you express your thoughts - get SNKP Wapan to hear you.

Come on everyone. Help us fix this game. Even if you're international players, help us out - you'll get SNKP to improve the overall quality of their non-Jap releases of games, which will help you in the long run too!
