The King of Fighters XIII/KOF-i News Thread

[Gunsmith]

3 hours+ of console changes documented by Frionel

[MichelS]

Has French have accessed to the game too?

[Gunsmith]

this is what happens when you leave on.com - you miss all the news!

Anyway, Frionel went to Germany to meet RSG at Gamescom. He attached himself to the stand with super glue for 3 days.

now that's dedication.

he's not boy, he's man. a man of love, for kofxiii.

A new version of KOF-i just showed up in the App Store on my phone. Looks like it adds the Iori team and the Elisabeth team, as well as some new artwork/cards for gallery mode.

EDIT: It also adds a bunch of new stages, mostly from the console version, but there's also one that hasn't been seen yet:


Also looks like they added the 'extra' team BGMs from the arcade version - I got Ash' KOF XI BGM when facing him at one point

Punches Kyo and Honki ni Katta (?) Mr. Karate confirmed...

I guess I got right about EX Kyo...

hmmm...I wonder if they will use the Takuma from SvC:Chaos.

SHORYUKEN!

[hadoolket]

this is not "surprising" as snkp advertised on that silhouette sheet!

all that hype and hiding of the secret characters and they are not even anyone that wasn't originally on the roster!

just...well, i like rekka kyo, but something like mr. karate is a big letdown, and knowing that's what they were hiding all along is an insult when they could have just simply came out with this kind of information long ago.

i actually woke up to people in a chatroom complaining about this and i had no idea what they were talking about until i saw this, because they were all hype for something like may lee or vanessa or something.

i guess that's it?

[PenPen]

Well it's kinda expected that we'll get them anyway, so there's not much surprise there, really.

[Shiny]

I ain't even mad.

[KusoGaki]

SpekSNK are reporting one more character to be revealed as an on disc character.

I still want to see Big Bear with four dropkicks.

[hadoolket]

that character better not be ex yuri

[SonicTempest]

Of course it's not EX Yuri

It's EX K', obviously

Also I thought it was funny how Fuu's prediction came true:

Unless I' am misunderstanding this makes Kyo98 less probable. I mean, they wouldn't uncover the "new" look like this, they'd wait to show the extra character wouldn't they?
...Then again the theorized extra Kyo might be in 2k2 clothes which would be a even simplier sprite edit from the latest look(basically the cross design on the back and little else). I think?

[Toxic Avanger]

SpekSNK are reporting one more character to be revealed as an on disc character.

Their "insider sources" have been totally wrong quite a few times, I fail to see anything different with that comment.

Sprite edits where totally expected... Even if I allowed myself to dream when I saw Billy . * Claps and Dances at Rock's absence *

Frionel has some additional information for us:

Encore une fois les Français ont prouvé avec brio à SNKP que c'était impossible de faire quoi que ce soit de sérieux avec eux...

Mais à part un cerveau, je ne vois pas de quoi on aurait besoin pour comprendre que diffuser des infos pour lesquelles aucune annonce officielle n'a été faite, destinées aux revendeurs, n'est pas quelque chose à faire.

J'espère que les gens qui ont diffusé comprennent qu'ils viennent tout simplement de baiser les relations entre SNKP Japon et l'éditeur Européen (ainsi que les liens entre l'Editeur euro et le distributeur FR...)

Merci les gars, sérieux vous gérez grave!

Je me demande pourquoi je me casse le cul autant au final...


Donc juste pour calmer les esprits, ce qu'il ya sur le PDF montré est FAUX. C'est un mélange de trucs qui ont été très mal compris par la personne qui l'a écrit.
Je vous demande d'attendre les annonces officielles pour en savoir plus.

Merci.

...
Une annonce officielle de l'éditeur devrait arriver la semaine prochaine pour démentir ces conneries.

Je peux vous dire un truc : les arts existent, mais l'auteur du document n'avait vraisemblablement aucune idée du pourquoi du comment.

Je peux vous dire de manière officielle que les informations relatives à ces persos et au prix qui a été donné sont totalement fausses.

Il faut attendre les annonces officielles avant de s'extasier.

Merci :)

Google translated version:

Once again the French have shown brilliantly in SNKP it was impossible to do anything serious with them ...

But other than a brain, I do not know what would be needed to understand that disseminate information for which no official announcement has been made, for resellers, not something to do.

I hope people understand that they have released are just kissing SNKP relations between Japan and the European editor (and the links between the euro Publisher and distributor FR ...)

Thank you guys, seriously you manage serious!

I wonder why I break your ass in the end all ...


So just to calm things down, what is shown on the PDF is FALSE. It is a mixture of things that have been poorly understood by the person who wrote it.
I ask you to wait for official announcements to learn more.

Thank you.

...

An official announcement of the publisher is expected to arrive next week to deny that shit.

I can tell you one thing: the arts exist, but the document's author probably had no idea why and how.

I can tell you formally that the information on these characters and the price that was given is completely false.

It was not until the official announcements before rave.

Thank you :)
