Dimps was founded by a bunch of SNK guys actually, like a year or so before they went bankrupt so that was a bit different than stealing (though a bunch of other dudes did go to Capcom, and a bunch went and founded Playmore).

Tried Luong and she's as hot as expected, both in terms of looks (them long limbs) and gameplay.
Great hit-confirms and really nice damage, even for meterless and low meter. The last hit of her EX ranbu super does an un-scaled 100 damage so her EX super combos do sweet damage.
Congrats!

The originals are fine and all, but I wish they'd give some love to their ASTs. I guess they figure people loving the old "retro" visuals only like the old "retro" sounds.

bad gameplay lol
Are all (or most) of the trials just mainly chaining EX's and supers? Seems that way to me from the few I've done.

Yeah, I believe so.
Thanks, I'm at a local FGC meet-up right now.

Party mode is such a blast, I almost feel like I don't even need regular team matches lol.
Now if only Spotify was enabled during this game like SFV

too lazy to go through the thread, how is the netcode?
Hit or miss right now. Seems like there's a bug that makes games slow to 30fps or worse.
Might be fixed in an upcoming patch.
Works great when it works but there's syncing issues in two of the modes and a patch is coming as early as early next week.
Party mode works fine.

Yeah for the most part. They're far too brief.
Even better than the art are the developer comments on each character's spread. They're often very funny.

ah, what a day with a new kof! only did a bit of training so far and finished a few trials. what's the best way to finish vice trial 5? i don't know when to cancel the last super.
also did a quick story mode run. gonna take a while to finish story with every team.
not sure when i want to hop online. gonna play a bit of versus on saturday i think. curious when they want to drop the next patch.

Ya there's special edit teams. Someone posted one earlier, nako, athena and kula I think.

The South Town ending has Andy point out how there's three characters known as Tigers (Joe, Ramon, and someone else forgot who), and three characters known as Dragons (Ryo, Mui Mui, and Kensou), I wonder if those might be Special Edit Teams?
The issue with Vice Trial 5 is you have to do the motions from the right side despite you starting the combo on the left. I guess technically her flipping puts her to the right of her opponent.
Just got this today. Really liked the game, with the exception of the netcode in Online Ranked. Still trying to decide my team. Yuri is in (she basically defeated almost everyone in story mode) and probably Terry. Still deciding who will get the third spot.
But man, I seriously need an arcade stick. My fingers are left in pain after always playing a fighting game. Anybody knows a good arcade stick below $100 that works with PS4 and PC?

Verse is fucking garbage. I do want him to show up at a tourney though. I hope he's still viable.

Party mode is better in the sense that it runs at the correct framerate but there's still heavy delay :/
edit: try to do hop C get stand far C GREAT

I'm done with this shit until they fix the netcode. Can get on Accent Core online and bust out some one frame FRCs no prob but can't even reliably do move>special move on this mess without it chugging at 30 fps and eating the inputs.
Has there been any word on if there's going to be a netcode patch (or patches)? I tried the demo earlier and absolutely loved it (This would be my first KoF) but I don't have anyone locally to play with so I'd mostly be playing online after finishing the story mode. I can't really justify the purchase if the netcode doesn't get fixed.
Oh that's great! If impressions are good after the patch hits then I'll have to pick the game up.

I really like Leona, but without going into it too much not really a fan of how much jiggle she has going on here when she was always one of the more serious characters.

Premium Edition arrived today. Picked the Team Women Fighters and went all the way through Story Mode. Love the gameplay - quick, snappy, and as accurate as 2D KOF titles before it.
Just starting to learn all the new characters' moves: Alice is better-than-expected and has a lot of personality in her stumbling animations. Also, Hein has great range and an offbeat stun move that can convert to a dash.
You can just tell that a lot of heart was put into the game, from the humor in the cinematics to making all the new characters feel distinct. The Team Women Fighters ending has a lot of fan service and takes it all the way back to KOF '94 references. SNK is definitely back.

Yeah the slow Mo netcode is a real letdown. I like the game from what I've played. It seems very much more beginner friendly and I actually like the look of it. The music is kind of dull but that's ok.

Serious characters can't jiggle?
Breast move in real life too, I guess no women are serious... ;-) It's... not a big a deal as many make it out to be. If this was a 2D game, that's one thing, but it's 3D... physics are part of the package. Every girl in the game has some bounce, and it fits their motions or the support of their clothes.
If anything, I'm more offput by Athena not-panty flashing, lol. Also a casualty of 3D (no magic angles that conveniently show nothing), but something like shorts or something could have been an option...
Yeah, I think they did great being SNK within this game. It's got exactly the kinda personality and characterization that fits them as a company.
I can't agree with this at all, lol. Some of the music isn't crazily over-produced with multiple deep layers (some of the unofficial remixed by fan pack more Oomph), but the mix of genres, the real instruments used in the compositions, and the mix of throwback and new tunes is really quite nice. And the way matches fade into "fated duel" music between certain pairs, and then goes back to the main stage theme, not from the beginning, but basically picking up where it left off, is a nice touch.
I like doing a Haou Sho Kou Ken into CDM with Ryo, lol. It's like he's punching through the energy and opponent simultaneously to solidify the win. Looks like a trailer-ending screen transition...
Hey, Nakoruru did see the well of souls that collected to form him! And other chara stories also drop hints and pieces through their endings. The real meat of his tale is told from actual combat. Look at his win quotes when he winds VS certain characters too.
He's honestly more of a set-up for things to come than a personal big deal, however.
