I would rather let them take their time & polish the game even more as well as to get the netcode running properly with lots of content. No need to rush this out & become another SF V debacle; That's the last thing that we need to happen.

Then they better slow down with the reveals. Revealing 12 characters in the span of a month creates hightened expectations.
You thought it was Ryo...
Between this and the Ryo/Geese/not Joe trailer I really like the way they're marketing their game right now. Funny and clever stuff that raises the hype a little bit more every time.
It also looks like a 999megs Robo Army 2 is coming out soon. XD
Dammit, I love it!
Indeed, whoever is in charge of marketing and maintaining a multimedia presence is aces.
Already posted this in two threads but I think it's worth it to do so again:
Apparently Neo-G (Hidetoshi Ishizawa) has left Capcom and joined SNK.
As found by MMCafe's Loona, it is also mentioned on his facebook page. He left Capcom in January of this year.
The dude has quite the resume. DMC, MVC (MVC3 battle director), SF (director of 3rd Strike), Darkstalkers etc.
This is a huge get for SNK and the first news of a Capcom employee jumping ship (he worked there for over 20 years) instead of just an ex-SNK dev returning.
I never, ever expected SNK to at any point be this good about promoting a game and interacting with fans. Loving this.

I think this is going to shape up to be a great game. The most recent trailer has me especially excited! GEESE!!!!
Can't wait for the Joe reveal. Always love playing him.

I think the heavily rumored SamSho is more likely.
Hot damn.
Sad for the sake of Capcom fighters/DMC, but definitely a fine acquisition for SNKP.
Gimme that Samurai Spirits directed by Neo_G. My already exasperated heart couldn't take it...!

What a time to be alive. Yeah, I know it's April 1st, but to see them really going all in with their trailers and fun promotional bits like this. It just makes me so happy to see.
Now I'm thirsty for that Joe trailer.
Yeah I can't wait to see more of him.

SNK really knows their fans.
I wish this was Ryo's idle pose tho.
YES! thats the best stance and maybe give him those gloves and ankle braces
The "lower" animation framerate the game has probably really helps here; SNKP is animating in a very 2D-like style, and it's paying off with a lot of the dynamic physics and the overall suggestion of movement, to me. Even things like Geese's Hakama top, wraped around his waste, are doing more to suggest motion, rather than break that suggestion by magically clipping through his waist constantly.
SFV does a great job with some things (Karin's skirt, Chun Li's loincloth-like tassels), but they move in a way that looks separately smooth than the characters, and it creates a disconnect between the motions at times. XIV is at a half-point between Xrd and SFV, but I like some of it better, because I just don't like the way ASW animates all the time. I like their sprite-based GG more, ever since BB, they seemed to have lost some flow in the details.
It makes one feel like they're actually enjoying their jobs, which feels very.. arcade-y. This is the SNK(P) that I love, the one that is having the time of it's life, just having fun, with a surprising bit of self-awareness.
I think the reason they keep avoid this stance is because it doesn't really work well for transition into normals, or even other moves. It'd be nice if her went back to it for his Mr. Karate II stuff though, since he'd be so strong in that point, that he could afford to be a bit less stoic.
I'd love to see them mess around with Yuri's stance in his place, until then. I could really see her in this stance all the time:
Luong and Nelson looking great.
That Kof'14 Geese is so dope. Excellent work as always.

Absolutely
Can't wait to fight Geese on this stage with the lightning effects while listening to his glorious theme. It's gonna be epic.
SNKP call its "Southtown Stage" for your personal knowledge.

Nothing says Southtown like an American flag decorating a legit Japanese warrior temple/shrine.

So we're back to a single picture per weekday now?
SNK pls don't run out of crazy juice just yet

We seem to get more screens when they get closer to trailers. Also, they seem to like to have screens of the previously-released characters. Less characters were formally intro'd than normal in GEESE-U's trailer, so they might be spreading them out a little.
If we get a trailer this Thursday, I wonder if we'll get a tease image before it? "Doesn't that Fan look Familiar?" "That puff of hair looks like Benimaru's! But... Darker..."

Geese looks so good.
Everything from his muscles and clothing to his poses as are so well done.

Just to clarify the event will be at the e-sports square in Akiba with setups with a 24 playable character exhibition open to the public between 6PM to 9PM.
You get free promotional stuff yes.
If anyone is in the area that evening you can go attend to give impressions of the build.

Same! I'm calling it: End of July.
All 24 characters are probably from the already revealed 26(+ Joe lol), a Mai reveal wouldn't hurt though.

Well they are giving away fans at the event
It's would be fitting to reveal Mai at a live event, can't imagine another character getting more reaction from the crowd, except maybe Rock at an NA event. Capcom crowd need their CvS2 characters.
So the characters they are revealing are pretty much in full playable form when shown, very nice.
That's almost half the cast available in that build, hopefully we will finally see some direct feed match footage.
Yeah, had to do a double take there lol.
