Wow, no shit. Look at all the 13 year olds getting mad about a game winning, and having no clue what the game is even about.

I love that KOF won. They should've also won the Spike awards, too. This wins best fighter of the year, easily - and I argue that it's the best fighting game of all time. It's definitely my favorite. Watching that Socal tournament stream yesterday was nothing short of amazing. It's also pretty balanced - I've seen so many characters being used at top level play. I mean, the guy who won yesterday was fucking DECIMATING people with Clark and made it look disturbingly easy, and he was (I think) the only person who even used him.

I respect MK for finally trying to be a real fighting game and all, but seriously, MK on the mainstream died the minute justin wong won that huge midway tourney for a ridiculous amount of money, once that money was off the table nobody cared anymore, no flavor of the month game deserves game of the year! I guess one could make the argument that KOF can't be anything but the flavor of the month at this point though, but I imagine it will be my flavor for next month too 
I have convinced some friends who have not been wronged by XII to pick up XIII so worst case scenario if the online continues to suck I will continue to play this game at least on a casual level once every week two at gatherings and such woo

I played some guy the other day who was using Clark and was expecting an easy win as I usually beat the big guys easy, but he beat me pretty easy instead. My error was to stand too close though and he kept grabbing me, now I know to distance myself.

Yeah, I refuse to even click the link on the basis that life is too fucking short for what I know is going to be there.

HCF LK can take one hit & the grab still connects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSCqkAd8A04&feature=youtube_gdata_player shows bosses getting owned for free.

I think it can take more than one hit. I remember being hit by a two hit move and clark still grabbed them.

Even nicer! I would like for his move set to be larger; however, w/ something like this in the toolkit it helps make up the deficit.

Atlus released new info on the patch + NEST Kyo is delayed for PS3:
- No mentioning of improving the performance itself
- Still no date was provided
- The connection speed signal bar and the filtering will be more accurate
- Backing off from a ranked match will be possible
- Some glitches will be fixed (probably referring to the custom colors reset glitch)
- NESTS Kyo got delayed on PS3 due to a "technical error". He will now be available on January 10th, but as a "compensation", he will be priced at $3 for a limited time.
- NESTS Kyo's delay and discounted price only applies on the PS3 version. The XBox360 is un-affected.

the sales seem to be holding their own on the third and 4th week http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales-data/43668/the-king-of-fighters-xiii/
In all honesty though, this should be a million seller game if only people knew how good it is...look at the shit below that got over a million sales.

Unfortunately, sales is the one low number I can understand for this title.
SNK-P didn't do the IPs any favors with XII. XIII has a serioius uphill battle facing it if it wants commercial respectability.
Which, in all likelihood, it will never see. There is no brand loyalty with the current market.
By comparision, Capcom and Namco have done a lot to keep their IPs relevant and in the gaming consciousness.
And let's not even get into all the licensed products, like Naruto, UFC and WWE. Those have built in audiences, regardless of whether or not they're any good.
Even Mortal Kombat occupies a sort of 'storied' relevance to gamers. If for no other reason, the movies resonate and both have some pretty good fighting action in them (even though the second one's a bad movie in general.) I think the strength of the movie medium is a good indication of why.
But SNK? They're 'that other company' by today's standards. They never did anything to make the IPs matter after 2000. So of course, no one cares right now.
So it's up to us to keep talking it up

SNK needs to stop dicking around and do a full blown KOF anime movie/series extravaganza. That shit is LOOOONG over due for KOF. Those little anime shorts that they had for Maximum Impact just weren't enough. They did the wrong thing to try to get the weeabos attention. Instead of making all of those stupid metro/andro characters they shoulda just talked with some anime production company and made an anime series that chronicled Kyo and Iori's struggles with each other throughout the sagas. That would have kept SNK in the public eye and pushed sales of KOF. Shit had SNK-P done that we might have had KOF XIII-esque game 3 years ago.

I love the SNK animes, watched art of fighting the other day plus the fatal fury ones are cool....not seen any of the shodown ones though....Give capcom credit when they release a new street fighter... they bring out a anime for it too.

Or the exact opposite might have happened.
An anime series focusing on Kyo and Iori might have attracted a very casual anime/manga crowd and they might have dumbed it down a la SF IV to appeal to them.
That's sort of what I felt they were trying to do with MI, to be honest.
And I don't blame them for marketing MI. Let's face it. They wanted MI to be the series that moved them into the next generation.
It's all on the vision. The producer. He didn't produce KOF MI as though it were a videogame. He produced it as though it were a 3D sketchbook.

It's worth it for the backgrounds alone. Notice the hanging 3D car in Iori's stage. Not to mention the detailed ground and scrapyard. Esaka at night is simply gorgeous.
I would guess he meant camper.
