Did they ever give a reason why they choose to go for 3D instead of keeping XIII's sprites?

Hi everyone!!!

Really slow

Because we live in an era where 3D modelling is cheaper, easier and more accessible than 2D spritework. XIII's sprites were so expensive, it nearly put the company under, again. Not to mention the intense spritework meant so many animations and moves were cut.

They could have keep the same sprites and just add a few new ones like they were doing before with the old sprites

Because XIII's sprites were ugly as fuck and were the cause of severe moveset cuts. A character like Angel would never be done in XIII's style simply because she has too many moves.

I don't think you realize just how nuts the XII/XIII sprites were and how agonizing it was to put everything together.

shut the fuck up about sprites already.

>liking this

Well I'm not saying I like them, just wondering why they change when it cost them so much
You're right I must not realize it
But still how the others are doing, like BB or Skullgirls, just more money ?

>BB
Arc sys is pretty loaded and they reuse sprites a lot
>skullgirls
Hand drawn animations, not sprites

hmmmmmm

>Hand drawn animations, not sprites
Please explain to a complete ignorant

HMMMMMMMMMM

Sprites are literally tiny dots created into a cohesive image. Some guy carefully connects diffrently collored dots into a frame, then does it again for another frame. Then another. Then another. Its why a single character in XIII took a year to make.

SKullgirls, meanwhile, just drew the animations like in anime. Faster, less time consuming, and a LOT cheaper

Well I see now thanks for the explanation

XIII sprites weren't made like that.

well, If I recall correctly, they were 3D models with sprites on top of them, right?

was something like
3d models, drawing, coloring, shading.
Thing is, XIII is animated at 60fps. I think BB uses roughly the same technique, but the animation rate is much lower (30 ? 20 ?) and has far less shading.

>2011

Where did the time go... also CVS2 pic to represent the /neog/ thread. Praise Capcom! Here's a rare K'inu!
How many years did SNKP put into XIII? A year for 1 character sounds insane, they should've cancelled it.

Let me guess, IGN?

did kinu nishimura draw other SNK chars, outside of this and CvS1/2 ?

I can't find the link, but I'm almost sure that Oda said in an interview that at the time they didn't exactly had a department taking care of their financial resources so it was basically a mess... I presuppose that since they needed to finish the game they simply focused on that and delivered it, but then the return did not justified their investment.

Now with XIV things seems way better structured, also in interviews it was said that the return of the game was positive, so at least they recovered the investment they had to produce the game.

use your brain and figure it out
if you even have one

>Sprites are literally tiny dots created into a cohesive image.
that is an arbitrary definition
sprites are merely bitmap elements that make up a larger scene, and whether or not they move or animate is not important
this is a pragmatic definition meant for programmers
the bitmap part is why it ends up not being applicable to 3d, because 3d involves raytracing a scene graph in order to establish its rasterized form

She did some of the cards in KOF x Fatal Fury. Mai, Athena(princess), K' and Rock.

...

>KOF x Fatal Fury
that's so weird to read
as if kof doesn't already have fatal fury in it

...

I love this art style

The best artists tend to be freelancers.

What's the best SamSho game?

II or V Special.

>No Dragonov

Why have you forsaken me?

Kinu is super great and her style instantly stands out.

>musclegirl
Not really my kink but I understand the appeal.
The lack of Dragunov is a travesty however.

Here's a pic of her for you.

Yoshino's hotter

Indeed.

>SNK's Lightning
get that ass banned

Room up on PC if anyone wants to play

let me have a cigarette first, i'm edgy right now
also i was trying to grind sfv survival on normal

...

You missed out on the 1 round survival mods. I still haven't bought a character in that game.

i haven't paid for anything save for the game and since only having started playing for real around mid late december i've amassed 5 characters and still have enough for almost 4 more
karin costumes are tempting though

I'll join.

Sorry about the bad connection. I don't know what happened.

I haven't played the game in a long while, so I'm super rusty.

this stage gives me framerate issues

Eh, that's your opinion.

And I just realized that Injustice isn't part of EVO Japan

Why is Arms there? When will Virtual-On get it's eSports scene?

Better ARMS than Melee.

Injustass and MvC are American games. Japanese also moved on from Melee instead of living in the past. The KoF numbers look nice when comparing it to anything the US ever got but that's a low standard, the second lowest entry numbers along with no side tourney of '98, '02, '02UM or XIII.

They must've not heard what Oda said in that interview he and watanabe gave to Latin american IGN.

I thought these fucks gave up after the XIIIUM petition not taking off.

>the one i win is the one i did the most stupidest execution mistakes

>meant to ex orochinagi
>do regular dokugami instead
fml

Nice - I do wish there was more art of classic Athena with her armor though...

Is it weird that I always listen to classic SNK Arranged Soundtracks to start my mornings?

I suck so much with this character

SNK ASTs are usually dope, so no

>random lag
what

I'm not sure it's the exact same people who started the petition, but I find it interesting that the only word that was capitalized was "SHOULD" indicating an expectation or an obligation. It would be cool for them if they got what they wanted, but with what was stated in the past about XIII by SNK I think they will be kept waiting.

>do most of my work with kyo (not my main)
>my own main sylvie dies easily

You're jamming to good music. SNK's music is very underrated among the Fighting Game fanbase. There's so much soul in those ASTs and the musicians and producers were having so much fun and you can feel it.

The only time the music sucks was in 2001-2004 and that was because of the bankrupcy. But they picked themselves up again in 2005 with XI.

Last one, need to order food.

I know that feel
>tfw you want to git gud with Sylvie

>Hey /neog/~

Is orochinagi the website pretty much unavigatable, or am I just an idiot?

in hindsight i know what i could have done but i freeze up a lot
orochinagi is pretty shit in terms of that

You don't have a boyfriend, do you?

After seeing Styleos's pixiv and twitter I see why /neog/ calls Angel a slut. She's literally a hentai character.

how am i better at sfv than at kofxiv
i don't even play sfv (nearly as much)
maybe because i don't care and thus don't get shaken up about it????
>Error: You must wait 1 second before posting a reply
>1 fucking second

You don't need skill to play sfv user.

Because SFV is 2D fighting games stripped to it's bare essentials. Anyone can play it. Even Daigo lost to some shitty rapper lmao

A smash player won Capcom cup. And beat all the pros who not only been playing street fighter for decades but also other fighting games such as KOF and GG. Yes I'm talking about sfv.

Please tell me /fgg/ is losing their shit.

they shitpost the thread
which is just business as usual

Being a fat guy from the Dominican Republic playing the game's fat guy and beating popular players was a bigger sticking point than his history.

I don't view the thread, so I cant answer that. People on other websites like to sugar coat the massive skill ceiling drop that Capcom hammered on the new SF title. I complain about XIV being easier than its predecessors but SFV is on another level, you wont see some XIVer even phase Xiaohai in a set. Maybe take 1 character down sure, this is KOF and taking down 1 character means fuck all. That character is there to build up meter, an OCV is an added bonus.

twitter.com/jiyunaJP/status/811401707670290432

It's because for however gay maxmode is, the neutral game is relatively the same as most of its predecessors. The shit that's much easier in XIV is relatively trivial to high level play.

SFV got changed completely compared to the previous few entries in the series.

Pretty much. The foundation of KOF is still there, minus the walk speed being guttered but that can easily be changed in 1 small update.

I think I found the inspiration to LB's Amano, Haguregumo.

with all that said about sfv, at least it gets played
the moment a room goes down in usa, nobody is left to play against on any mode
i can find matches anytime on sfv
it's really hard to get play time vs people on xiv
it upsets me
i probably could find more people to play with on blazblue or even arcana heart

I know it sucks user. KoF is just really niche in an already niche genre. Maybe you should pick up the new DBZ game when it comes out. That'll have a huge population for sure.

i barely scrape just under min specs of that game
so if they have a low spec mode then maybe

>at least people sti-


I'd rather not play a shitty game. DBFZ is a good 2D fighting game to play with a healthy playerbase. I'm not American so I don't have to rely on online to play KoF.

>I'm not American
yeah exactly my point

...

what's the consensus on caro?
it'd be nice if she actually got a good unit.

Who the hump is that?
