Only KOF and maybe Yatagarasu play somewhat like SF though. To me, Arcsys/Marvel/Skullgirls feels like an entirely different genre, lol. I do love Tekken and MK, but not in place of SF.


I loved Rival Schools back in the day, but not anymore. First because as opposed to before, the Japanese school setting doesn't feel fresh - I actually avoid it in 2017, we've had enough games with that setting for generations to come. Second, because I played it recently and I didn't enjoy the gameplay that much. Jeez, I guess the highschool setting is what makes it prime for a return in 2017.

Eh, I think if Capcom gave a damn it could still be fresh even if the concept isn't new.

The school setting along with its wacky nature and colorful characters was appealing.

I made a poll on twitter to help Arika gauge interest.

Up for a week.

I would definitely buy it. It's been too long since we've seen an EX series game!

Make of this what you will, seems like we shouldn't have our hopes up yet for quite some time.

Well of course, announcements of new products that shareholders wouldn't know of prior wouldn't be healthy for businesses.

But still doesn't hurt to help them gauge interest as fans on a grassroots level since at the end of the day, we're just fans and we ultimately have no leverage or control on what they as a business decide to do with this potential product.

I do wonder what Capcom's angle is. Are they just gonna helicopter around and hope that the game can get some crowdfunding together, before they help ARIKA with the rest?

Either way, wouldn't it be about time to start talking with Ben Judd?

Why would Capcom help them if there isn't anything for them? The game is heading toward FL more than EX. If anything it would be Bamco since they helped the first time. And Capcom isn't in the best position right now considering they needed Sony to get SFV off the ground running.

My two cents at this point, they are best to go for a publisher rather than crowdfunding.

Edit: With Mihara's last tweet it's best to not bother unless Arika moves forward again with it.

The video title is a bit of a leap, but Yasuyuki Oda from SNK got to play what is now called EX Layer.

If capcom ain't gonna budge, such a game with SNK characters would be dope too. Hope it's real.

Since SNK has strong backing by its Chinese owner nowadays that would be a fine match.

 

[TreIII]

That's really cool! Hopefully, there's some friendships that are (re)kindled, and maybe SNK and their new Chinese pals can save the day (again).

Ditto that ARIKA could lend SNK some of their experience with working in 3D...

You probably know more than I, but it was just based on the whole idea that the two companies are still appear to be on a friendly basis. To the point that EX characters are on the CFN thing (indicating the EX characters are still somewhat pertinent), some people still think that one of the new DLC SFV chars for this season is Garuda, and such. If it was all part of an ideal for keeping ARIKA close, than perhaps that's still an option, even if no SF chars ever show up in "EX Layer".

As for Bamco...I wouldn't mind them, either. But considering Gundam Vs. and Tekken have been all they needed to dominate Asian arcades, with Pokkén as a nice Nintendo-friendly collab and SoulCalibur as a "when we feel like it" type of thing...where would a new Layer game fit in?
