KOF XII (arcade and PS3) graphically was perfect, I get that some people don't like the art direction, my only problem with XII was the dumb AI and the lack of Geese Neowave at the end, that would have been amazing 'cause the game feels like 95 all over again, more like a Fatal Fury vs Art of Fighting featuring KOF characters.
KOF XIII was nice but the lack of zoom in/out and blurred sprites really turns me off, the system is nice different than XII, not necessarily better, just different, they both have good systems.
As for this new one, well I'm patient, I'll just wait for the finished product, so far I'm not loosing faith, it looks like a cleaner Maximum Impact, hopefully without the falcoon designs, they were atrocious. I enjoyed Maximum Impact and 2006 or MI2.
On the SF side, SF has never done wrong by me, ever since SFII, I have no complaints whatsoever, my favorite series for sure. I'm eager to play SFV but I don't like that Charlie or Nash is not a charger anymore...
