..I'd rather wait for the JP official boxart, lol.
Pen's rant is pretty spot on. Can't say I disagree with that at all.

Re: KOF XII Official Rant Thread
They could've used that KOF XII official poster which does the same thing but better. You can even do that in MSPaint!
Or if Ignition is lazy enough, they'll release both covers and call it "Kyo cover" and "Iori cover" and make some really weird/evil marketing shit where you need to buy both covers, and send both redeem codes to get a DLC for K' and Mai, something like that.
That was too evil. I'm destined to be a marketing guru.

Re: KOF XII Official Rant Thread
Since I can't find a thread that fits and I feel like double posting AND it doesn't warrant a thread itself (and it's not necessarily news), someone over at FightClub bought the board himself last month and plugged it into a monitor.
Thread here: http://arcade.fightclub.com.pk/forums/s ... p?t=267402" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'm just selecting some of his observations that we didn't mention, one thing is that he wasn't impressed with the English voices.
1. Japanese/English selectable, voiceovers change as well.
2. Only 3 difficulties for arcade operators: Easy/Normal/Hard.
3. There's a "rally mode" where both players can play against each other (just like versus) but the game ends after the match ends. Seems useless.
4. It runs in Windows XP wut
5. A clock that cannot be re-adjusted. He says there may be time released characters, but I really dunno.
The next post consists of the board and the monitor and actual arcade cab sticks to show that we are all poor people.

With Mai (apparently according to the art) likely to be in, they'll be fine.Fuu wrote:Mature... with pants?

Nice to see Liz (though expected from the old poster) and Mature (even if she's dead, she still gets to wear new threads!) in this. So with that we're getting 2 (+ 2 more, just need more in-game images) console exclusives. Wonder who'll pop up next.

Re: KOF XII Official Rant Thread
Weird. I always assumed Vice was the one who wore the pants. Its an interesting/odd choice of character to add, but I like how she plays so I'm okay with it. I'm happy to see Elizabeth, too.

Re: KOF XII Official Rant Thread
All the official press releases say 'over 22 characters' for the console versions, and now we have 22. So I guess we're getting 23 characters, then. lol
Part of me thinks that one of them will be Rugal since that's Mature in her KOF'94 secretary outfit...
Side note: the article says Mature was in '96, '98 and 2003. lol wut?

Re: KOF XII Official Rant Thread
If it's true I'm hard right now hahahahaha
BTW this "rally mode" is basically for tournaments so that you don't have to reset the game or have someone sit there and beat the shit out of the last winner's team. It's called "Event Mode" in Capcom games and trust me it saves SO MUCH TIME when you run tournaments on a board. When we tried to run KOF tournaments back in the day it was twice as long cause we had to beat the previous winners team ... they should've had that "re-select" team option like in 2000 haha

Confirmed.
The JP boxart shits all over whatever Ignition was trying to get us to vote on.
Also:

What the hell, EO mode? There had better be a way to ban it for online play.
Also, there will be downloadable content released after the game is out.
Confirmed.

Re: KOF XII Official Rant Thread
Thanks for confirming, and I agree those covers are a million times better.
I'm happy Elizabeth made it. Mature looks retarded.
...but what about K and Mai???
