Well previews and hands on by major reviewers were very poor ... i wasn't expecting this game to be good in the first place ... by the way blazblue is amazing ... u forget street fighter once u get into the game ...

1UP Review

KOF12 doesn't feel like a KOF game. Its signature rushdown playstyle is present to some degree, though the new mechanics, the guard attack and critical counters, prevent an overly offensive strategy. The roster feels slightly off, with half the cast exceptionally developed, and the other half incredibly anemic. And KOF12 fails to seize the windfall in online matchmaking. It uses an archaic, even backwards, system that serves only to frustrate the player. Polish, revision, and perhaps another rebirth can help restore the KOF legacy and, hopefully, advance the series to its next stage.
Grade: C

even after the years the graphics looks disgusting <_< I felt like I was playing PS1. Gameplay is fast though but it's quite a disappointment to see such a title goes wasted like this.
ab aisa bhi nai hai... The game is very very gud... Its back to the basics, y dont ppl get tht.. everybody loved it its only the online mode tht suxx...

well last nite i found out tht KOF12 online is better now.. u can play with ppl frm ur contry widout Lag... and i tried playin wid my friends in UAE.. the connection was gud.. so hopefully we Pakis can enjoy playin the game 2gether...

KOF12 is a very nice game no doubt .. i totally disargee with tht review... The graphix are amazing and The soundtrack is very gud aswell... and even tho there are 5 stages, tht doen't even matters to me.. nor does the story mode.. all the hardcore fans need a better online PLAY..
U'll hate it when u play arcade or Practice but once u play against a HUMAN and get ur hand setup.. u'll truly knw the games capability.. and the CC mode is soo much fun.. the moves are soo much balanced.. This game is very gud..


Anybody here plays KOF12 on Xbox360... add me... lets try out the connection..

Message from Ignition Entertainment

Dear KOF XII Fans,

The support and excitement generated by the fans so far for THE KING OF FIGHTERS XII is amazing and incredibly appreciated. We are so happy to finally have it available. Even after the game was finished, additional steps were taken to help improve the player experience and an update was released for both the Xbox 360 and PS3.
However, Ignition Entertainment is not at all happy with the online performance or with some of the functional issues that the fans have raised even after the release of these updates. We want to ensure the community that we are not taking this lightly and are having meetings in person with members of SNK PLAYMORE even at this very moment. Please continue your constructive feedback because we are listening and will do everything we can to have SNK PLAYMORE address these issues as soon as possible.
The King of Fighters series has always had some of the very best and supportive fans and we want to do what we can to help ensure they are treated right. We will continue to keep you updated on progress with SNK PLAYMORE and we thank you again for the continued support.

---------------------------------------------

GET THE GAME !!!

SNK Announcement: Direct Translation

Dear King of Fighters XII fans,

This week’s launch of THE KING OF FIGHTERS XII represents the culmination of four years of hard work to deliver a rebirth for the KOF franchise, but several key issues have arisen since its release that must be addressed. Rest assured that SNK PLAYMORE is fully committed to supporting the King of Fighters XII community by working to further improve the gameplay experience.

We’re pleased to announce that the next software update will address the animation glitch that users have encountered in which Elisabeth’s character sprite becomes “frozen” for the duration of the round when the character Raiden performs a specific move on her.

While software update solutions are being devised, we can offer some tips to those users who are experiencing exceptionally poor online performance. First, we suggest limiting the number of players in a room to two, as the addition of a spectator with a slow connection can currently create latency for all users in the room. Also, if your Internet connection is configured behind a firewall using NAT Type 3, we recommend reconfiguring your setup to utilize NAT Type 1 (for PS3) or an “open” setting (for Xbox 360).

Also, we’d like to take this opportunity to explain one feature of the Xbox 360 version. When playing online with the Xbox 360 version of KOF XII, players who continually battle the same opponent in multiple Ranked Matches in the same lobby will not receive additional True Skill Rank Points. This is an intentional decision to keep players from abusing the system to reap massive rewards by preying on one player. If you want to earn True Skill Rank Points, you must make a new room or leave simply leave the room and come back.

"KOF World" is free-to-play for the Asian market!

source: joystiq

If you've been enjoying SNK's latest, King of Fighters XII, you might be interested to learn that SNK and Shanda Games are teaming up to offer a version of that game for the PC. It's going to be called KOF World, a free-to-play game for the Asian market. Aside from the usual 2D fighting, this new version will also incorporate "MMORPG features by adding a complete multiplayer role playing game (RPG) mode," though exact details on this new mode were not provided. Oh, and if you don't live in Asia, sorry for making you incredibly jealous.
this looked really interesting when a video of it was posted some time back.

i checked the gametrailers vid review & they kept mentioning 'next iteration' for improvements o_O, could this mean all the extra stuff along with everything that is missing will have to wait till next year's version.

Ur calling BlazBlue a buttonmasher ? ... Eh ? ... You are aware that Aksys games formerly the guilty gear series is one of the most complex game series mechanics wise ....

Every game can be played as a button masher and i just find it totally bizzare that can make this statement considering the critical acclaim this game is gathering across the internet amongst the community ... try visiting astralheat.com or the dustloop forums to see the level of strategy involved in the game ... just because its fast and looks flashy ... sigh ...

this is pointless ...


Enjoy street fighter IV ... it is the best game ever made ... :rolleyes:

^ you got sf4 for the ps3 btw?

anyway, on topic. i am actually looking into getting a copy of blazblue. i don't know about the button mashing thing; could be, haven't played it or guilty gear ever. it just looks pretty nice, and it's been getting better reviews than kof12 at least.

and i'm not saying that metacritic is the be-all-end-all of all reviews, but here's a comparison of the scores:

kof12 : 58/100

blazblue: 88/100

sf4: 94/100

I had SFIV for a couple of weeks the game didnt impress me too much ... as far as i was concerned it was a good game but i expected better from SFIV plus the lag online was brutal ... i wasn't going to keep playing the computer over and over again or occasionally beat my friends black and blue when they come over to my place ... So long story short i gave it away to a friend ... tho get blazblue, we'll definately play that together online ...

Karachi has Blazblue, it just came here a day or two ago ... if you were here i would have invited you to come and check it out ... i also ordered the hori real arcade stick pro 3 and separately purchased sanwa buttons to mod the arcade stick, the default joystick was already sanwa .. ( sanwa and seimitsu are the best companies for arcade parts worldwide ) .... Needless to say it's a world of difference playing these games with the stick and a whole lot of fun ... i don't think i can ever go back to using the regular controller ..
