Uh, KOF has no chance... sure the new pixels look sharp as hell and the animation is fluid but it still doesn't capture the force of impacts the way SFIII did. In my opinion that game perfected fighting animation and I agreed with the director of the new one that there simply wasn't much more Capcom could do with 2D genere but to repeat itself. So the natural course for the brand new SF would be stylized 3D look that would pay homage to the old-school as well as invite the new fanbase. I'll agree, however, SNK is "showing major love" to their hardcore fans with KOF. But it isn't getting nearly as much hype as SF. And the new anime look doesn't suit it well (what's up with baggy pants on everyone?) :-\ |

Kinda getting off on a wild tangent with these past few posts. Still, I felt it necessary to chime in... SF4 has me no where near as excited as KOFXII. It's not so much the fact that it's 3D vs Hi-Res 2D, it's the character selection. SF3 had the strongest selection of characters, and SFA was a close second. (Talking Character Design-wise.) So, with SF4, they didn't bring a single SF3 character back, brought only about 5 SFA characters, and brought the entire, completely generic character roster of SF2 back. Anybody who would actually think that Balrog, Dhalsim, Blanka and Fei Long are stronger character designs than Dudley, Elena, Necro and Mokoto is obviously completely blinded by nostalgia. I'll still be getting SF4; hell, I do really want to play it. But I'll be getting it much further from the time it comes out, probably wait for it to hit the $30-45 range on Amazon. KOFXII, on the other hand, I plan to import as soon as it hits shelves in Japan. |

I'm equally excited for SF IV as I am for KOF98 UM hitting XBL. (Wow, that's a hell of a lot of acronyms :D) In my oppinion KOF always had more style and the more refined fighting system. The only times Capcom was at eye level with SNK was with SF Alpha 3 and SF III 3rd Strike. Yet in SF IV they completely rely on the same few characters with just a few unusual ones thrown into the mix. I'm with the7k, complaining about droppimg all SF3 characters. Drop Zangief and use Hugo, drop Akuma and use Sean, use Elena or Makoto or Ibuki instead of Chun Li. Urien instead of Sagat. SNK had the balls to drop all established characters except for Terry in Garou and create a whole new roster. I'd really like to see a SF without Ryu and/or Ken. Let Sean or Dan take their place :) They have kind of the same moves but just different enough to feel fresh. |

whoaaaaaaaa - hold your horses! Drop Ken & Ryu?!?!?!?! OK they are not the best characters, and have been overdone - but it wouldn't be streetfighter without them! ;D |
