Archived KOFXI news

Post by **SonicTempest** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 04:35

Some new Arcadia scans about KOF XI have surfaced on the net, with some interesting new details.

- Quick shift (AC or BD while attacking) can apparently be done during special moves - a sequence of screenshots shows Iori doing his

+K, then doing quick shift on the first hit, tagging out to Ryo, who continues with his own combo. Sounds broken :X
- Saving Shift (AC or BD while guarding) seems to work like NGBC's guard cancel tag.
- Tags don't seem to be time limited anymore? Or maybe I'm reading it wrong.

There's a lot of other character-specific info, but I'll put those in the character threads.

Oh my GAWD!~

I so must have large versions of Hiroaki's art for this. They look amazing.
Momoko should've been 17 or something... it fits her more IMO. :?

Looking at the scans, i see some IMO "new" sprites for some of the old characters.
SO can it be.... that Malin's fugly sprites have been altered for a bit?

I'm also interested on that Kula screenie that shows her doing a move with an ice flake pattern (finally!~)... wonder what it does.

Sheesh.. this is making me want the game more.. :cry:

*lewks @ screenshot with Momoko*

looks like KOF finally got its very own Bob Wilson. Special Loli edition too.

Interesting... the official site looks neat itself.

And Ye!~ Mine and KK's pleads of Malin's re-vamped sprite (specially her face) has come!

Other than that... interesting shots there. Like kensou's DM (?).. Looks like a more powerful version of his old semi-projectile DM. And is that Whip's new DM where she's holding 2 whips?...

It's a been a looonng time since I've played 95 (or AoF for that matter) - did Eiji always have a special that reflected super projectiles? I suppose he must have if he was supposed to be an anti-Kyokugen character.

Looks like Clark got his Gatling Attack back too. Every grappler needs at least one non-grappling special.

I wonder though why the heck Malin is in the "Anti-Kyokugen team"... :?

No more excuse as Hinako's sis i guess?

Yes.
That means in the few games he appeared

I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing at least they're again brushing up Clark. In KoF2k2 he was already very dull yet effective but in KoF2k3 he was total rubbish! Looks like the realized that they toned him down to shit and now pull him out of the mud again.
At least I know one of my friends who will scream "hooray" about Clark having back his charge special.

Clark is getting back his Charge Special?

Does that mean I can do his ground charge into his anti-air grab again?

Hehe. The website is cool. Same character select sounds and everything. In game art looks great.

My KoF rival will also

at the return of Clark's move. Furthermore, I also really liked the setup they decided to use for the KoF XI page. Also... that character select art of Ash is finally a decent picture of him! Well, K' looked like trash in all the '99 art also, so no hard feelings towards the ugly 2003 Ash... Hmm... The original KoF XI page featured, Kyo, Ash, and K'... But now, it focuses on Kyo, Ash, and Iori. Jerks.
