Brotha Kyo Retro-Spec: Garou Mark of the Wolves Ten Years Later.

Jun 30, 2009 16:47

Around 1999, Capcom came out with the most superior version of Street Fighter III, which was subtitled 'Third Strike'. Gorgeous graphics (You've ever seen at the time.), A very fun fighting system (Parries, baby! Oh yeah!), new characters who fight like old, and vet characters who show up, and was VERY well known on the Dreamcast. Capcom thought ' ( Read more... )

Oh, shit. I remember playing the fuck out of Mark of the Wolves back in the day, along with my import copy of Capcom vs SNK 2. While CVS2 is the reason I side Rock to this day, Mark of the Wolves is the reason I love his bastard ass. (Yes, I'm using the literal term) But thank fucking Christ that the Buster Wolf was toned down for CVS2

And motherfucking "Spread the Wings" for the goddamn win.

Keep in mind that Hotaru, as well as the other special characters didn't have actual involvement in the story (no endings, etc.) That was just SNK adding more characters for fans. And yes, even though the character selection was from NGBC and YES Rock was a selectable character in THAT game; he wasn't in it.

My guess is that SNK doesn't want to put Terry and Rock in the same game, especially if they throw Geese in there as well. That's just... Retarded. Perhaps SNK has a better idea as to what they're going to do to Rock Howard?

But MOTW was emulated rather nicely for XBL, (Though I feel about 20% slower without my DC pad) and it's nice to have a COMPLETE movelist for the characters; i.e. Dong Hwan's "Own Style Phoenix Flattener"

Ahhh, that is true. I usually forget Geese is in there, until I say to myself 'Man, I just want to Raging Storm someone for no reason.'

That something I just heard in another post on here; Rock's not added out of respect of the old Fatal Fury staff. Add that with what SNK said about planning a Garou sequel, and it pretty much says 'The Wolf Cub's story isn't over yet.'

As far as XBL MOW, I can't argue with that at all; The control's still dodgy as far as a 360 fighting game goes, but if you get used to it, it leads into some fun matches; (Though some of the matches online have progressly gotten better about lag...)

On a somewhat seperate note, a KOF XII Premium Theme has been added to the 360, specifically Kyo, Rob, Duo Lon and Kensou. Looks pretty cool.

Well, according to the SNK Wiki which I usually take with a grain of salt since it can be changed at anytime:

"Although his appearance in the 2D King of Fighters is highly anticipated, the KOF staff revealed that they have no plans to place him in the roster due to their respects for the old Fatal Fury staff. SNK Playmore members seem more interested in placing Rock in the next Fatal Fury installment."

So either someone in the SNKP is actually thinking about doing another FF related game or someone is pulling one hell of a mean prank on mentioning another FF game in the works being actually official. (And by that I mean actually getting done, not being put on hold even though it has X amount of percentage on completion.)

Well, that would make sense; if Rock doesn't show up in KOF, that's a good sign, meaning SNK is STILL planning on making his own story...

Kof made the SNK timeline very confusing cause I remember Aof being 20 years before Fatal Fury so unless Ryo dyes his hair I really don't think they care about age anymore besides that I think Ash is 16.

SNK officially stated that AoF's story was completely retconned; this was evident as Ryo was playable in Fatal Fury Special; Granted it was just a 'dream match', but they pretty much retconned Southtown and its history as well.

I can't argue with that; the D-Pad was a swing and a huge miss with that; here's hoping that KOFXII arcade stick gets released in America sometime soon.
