Yes, AtomisWave only, outside of KoF MI. They've officially abandoned the NEO*GEO hardware, and it makes the most sense to develop all their arcade games for only one board. AtomisWave seems like a good choice, sense it places a lot of emphasis on 2D, but still has 3D capabilities. Seems to be the mix SNKP likes. Beyond that, the cartridge set-up for it makes it kinda' similar to the AES...
As for the new stuff released... Nothing that really catches my eye other than Maxima's friggin' beam gun. Hmm....

You can see him among the exhibition of the new characters to the game and system in 8-1's latest video from the AM Show.

I have to agree... that video left me pumped up.

Cool video. Also assuming that it wouldn't make much sense having Gai as a single character or as a midboss, maybe there's a whole new team?

Awesome video.

Some things I noted.
- WTF Gai Tendo.
- Adelheid still has shitty animation on his moves -_-
- The effects are really nice. Animation seems to have been beefed up a good deal too.
- The hits look "harder," and moves that should have hitpauses have hitpauses (like Terry's Power Geyser). Yey.
- Looks like Ash has a new followup or something to his LDM?
- Kasumi has her grab DM from SvC Chaos.
- Jenet's hidden P-Power from MOTW is now a counter LDM.
- Saving Shift does indeed appear to work like GGXX' Burst feature.
- Dream Cancelling doesn't appear to scale damage a whole lot.
- Ramon seems to have a new multi-part throw LDM.
- The game seems to make a big deal if you finish a match with an LDM (L.finish). Maybe you need to do it to access a hidden boss or something?

From the video:

- The player flashes red when Super/Dream Cancel is used, blue when using Quick Shift.
- For both Gai and Adelheid, the screen says "Stage 04". I think that you battle either one mini-boss or the other one.
- The power bar does go up to 5 if you lose all your partners.
- Kensou's LDM seems to have him absorb a lightning (with some sound effects that seem to be taken out from Eternal Darkness, I might add). Probably he gets powered up like in 2K2.
- Ash's "follow up" to his LDM seems to cost an extra stock, but it counts as LDM nevertheless.
- Momoko's LDM is a beam.
- Quick Shift combos seem to be very damaging, but you lose all your stocks after them.
- Duolon can still cancel his

+P x 3 into his teleport.
- Clark's regained Gatling Attack seems different somehow.
- Athena did regained her special throw. Can juggle into her new LDM.
- Kasumi's and Jenet's LDM won't trigger the super flash unless they "hit".

Who could that be at the end of the video? The so-called chinese girl or the final boss? Or perhaps someone completely different?

LOL Oswald's LDM looks like a cooler version of Gambit's Royal Flush super move (X-men vs. SF)

Ramoncito's DM grappling looks great, seems to be a Daimon's grab follow-up move. Eiji's LDM is AWESOME! I liked Duck's final freeze after his grapple DM. Momoko looks kinda meh, somewhat dissapointing from a Capoeira fighter. Yuri seems to have a new aeria DM. Whip have a dashing whipping new DM. And yeh, Adelheid's genocide cutter still looks

(wish he'd learn his father's 3 hit genocide cutter). K' has a new grab (looks cool). Ash' new rushing move looks great as well.

Just my highlights

Things i noticed.. (if already said by others.. do tell)

- Elisabeth's LDM looks like an over powered 98-2k1 psycho reflector...
- Whip's LDM is the same as her 2k3 LDM. (boo..)
- corner based combos again.
- Eiji's LDM (?) is a mix of zantetsu and Chipp Zanuff's.
- Kasumi's throw DM pushes the opponent back... (w00t)
- Quick shift is as scary as hell when used...
- Looking at Ash's combo near the end of the vid... if you can, you can still hit a falling opponent... ?_?
- the female mid-boss (?) has Mai like colors...

Actually, Eiji's LDM looking like Zantestu's is not surprising considering that Eiji is Zantestu's descendant.

EDIT: I was looking at Kensou's LDM and I thought it kinda looked like a DM that absorbed health like Heidern's.

Is this video located anywhere else? For some reason I can't access it (despite having IE6, WMP10, and a SvC account....).

denieru · Post by **denieru** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 23:33

emmm... access it? You mean you click on the link and it doesnt work? or the page doesnt load? or the video just doesnt play? The video is a bit damaged/corrupted(it shows errors with my Mac's VideoLAn). Try VideoLAn for windows if playback is your problem...

Monpochi · Post by **Monpochi** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 23:35

@MR1337

Uhm.. yes, i already know that..

;;

@Apathy Wind

That's weird... i just proceeded with the link and downloaded it straight from the d/l page. Or maybe SVC noticed that they're losing bandwidth fast and have done measures...
