I wish I was joking about SNKnostalgia being drunk. He will just spam threads and chat with nonsense and YT videos until he passes out.

Give it a few more drinks and he'll start bragging about his multi-million dollar inheritance (thanks daddy) and threatening to find you in real life.
It's like clockwork!

-B.Jenet has hella bounce, even in her win pose

-they need to patch this shit asap. Horizontal screen tearing and shimmer like a mofo. Super low-budget, really distracting.

-my bread and butters for Tizoc (CotW) whiff constantly. It’s like his grab range is nerfed out of the gate. Playing on PS4, with a good display (Sony Bravia). Loaded up MotW on PS4, all my bread and butter connect effortlessly.

-online and xplay work as advertised. No issues ranked or casual.

Tl;dr

Tons of potential, Spiderverse art style works for me, needs QOL patches/updates asap; if a long time fan that wants to like this is put off…casuals are gonna go right back to SF6.

Samsho 2019 played better.

Glad I used gift cards for the digi version. If I had bought this w/ monies physical at a brick and mortar store? It would’ve been returned.
Interesting - base model PS4? I ran into none of those visual issues on PC with the Beta - but I also can tweak the settings and have Vsync turned on via a system level process. I have the full version on Steam downloaded and ready, just can't dive in till later on today.

Happy Console Gamer is a nice channel if you want inoffensive 'reviews' by a massive fanboy. I don't understand how he continues to be so positive about everything fifteen years later. Probably knows the Anti-Life Equation or something because only a man that could destroy you by looking at you could be so carefree and happy about everything.
You're probably overthinking it. His videos are relatively breezy and he's very good at making them effortless. He has enough followers that it's easily worth keeping up. It's his persona. In my brother's and my interactions with him, he is a genuinely nice guy, so it's not just a persona.

Going to give it a spin this week.

From what I'm hearing and reading, it's a great time that needed more time for some spit and polish prior to release. Safe bet SNK is going to have some remaining crunch time to patch it.

Disappointed that Jae Hoon isn't in this, as he seemed to be a prominent new legacy character akin to Dong Hwan, Rock, and Hokotumaru.

Personally intrigued by Mr. Big being in this, as he must be in his 60s at this point and his relationship with Geese was considerably less cordial than someone like Billy. Speaking of, would love to see how those two interact. I wonder if Big's English VA will remember that the character is Australian (likely not, if AOF2 was anything to go by).

I only want Wolfgang Krauser to be a secret boss as far as storyline goes. He's the closest thing to SNK's version of Akuma in terms of character morality and motivation, and I hated how he was just a standard final boss with Nightmare Geese being the true final boss in the last 2 installments.

Youtubers have been playing this game for like two years now.

Damn! Just needed more time. If only they had more time to finish this game. :ROFLMAO:

Not sure where I said he was faking it?

You're fucking weird sometimes.

Yeah, base model. Sounds like a helicopter is taking off every time I turn it on. Time to thermo paste it, I recon.

I know, but I still stand by them needing more time to fix some of it's quirks, at least a month or two. I'm sure they were working on getting other things done prior to release.

It's also out early - 4 days early. There could be a day 1 patch that gets dropped before or on Thursday as well. Surprised to see this soft launched, honestly.

"DUDE Wipes are flushable wet wipes marketed for men, offering an alternative to traditional toilet paper."


lol - marketing something that has been existing for decades and is sold in almost every country....as DUDE WIPES! FOR REAL MEN AND BROS!!!!
In the beginning of the vid all I could get were Dude Wipes from Amazon as there was no TP for the bunghole to be found those were dark times, never used them after that. Will always ass ociate them with those times.

I would be interested to see the dynamic between Rock and Billy.
The adopted son Vs. the abandoned son.

They show it in Terry's ending, to some degree.

Spoiler:
Terry's final boss is Fallen Rock. At the end of the fight, the cinema is Terry hitting Rock so hard he crashes through the railing and begins to fall just like Geese in RBFF. Terrh snatches him, Rock says to let him go because he doesn't want to drag him down with him, shakes himself loose and says very sadly '....goodbye....' Then Terry somehow manages to reach back down and grab Rock's wrist again. It shouldn't be possible but Billy has arrived to extend his staff, from which Terry is hanging in order to give himself the reach he needs to save Rock. After they are all back safely on the walkway again, Terry and Rock exchange pleasantries, Terry says something to the effect of 'don't ever give up' like a good dad would and they thank Billy. Billy says 'I didn't do it for you!' to Terry, in a clear statement that deep down, he appreciates Terry for being there for Rock for all those years that no one else could be. Fences are all mended.


It's nice denouement for the characters. Not sure if Rock and/or Billy's endings mirror that, though. As I understand it, every character has a unique sub boss and final boss, but I'm not sure if that's true.
