Which one was left? Hope it's the one with Samson standing and Filia waving like hair.
This should be interesting to see, of course. Guessing it's not voiced too, right? I only personally ask because lots in the KoF XIII threads around the net were suprised that stories could be told without voices in the 2000s! XD
Haha, not suprised about this at all. I actually started to wonder about this when the BG characters start to multiply to such large numbers.
I've wanted to see fighters do this kinda stuff for a while. Seems like the perfect thing to add along with updates, or to add value to DLC. Not just pertaining to the newly added characters, but also between existing characters, of even just minor shifts and changes to old assets (Like adding a new character to a scene that'd make sense to have them in single player, or add new characters to the openings/intros as they show up.)
Of course, I've wished every game had an opening-editor since Soul Calibur on DC... (One of the Dynasty Warriors did such a thing too...), but that's neither this or that...

That Ryu reference was hilarious.
Maybe they should keep the win poses for 1v1 only if it's a memory issue.

Okay, Dacidbro officially has the sickest painwheel out there. How long has he had access to the game? I only heard of him playing at around SCR so he must have done a few marathon runs in order to get this good.
Sounds like BlazBlue which is exactly what I was hoping for!
This is good news. The game should have a very very long life if the updates contain lots of meaty additions and changes. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that people wanted out of Marvel vs Capcom 3 if anyone else notices.
How old is the KOF demographic? Games have been told without voices for two decades and they grew pretty well despite the lack of voices. Having them is a nice thing though.
I usually use the Japanese setting with subtitles on a game like BlazBlue, but this game deserves my full attention in English seeing as it is an American comic/cartoon inspired game.
Holy crap I did not notice this until just now.

I realize you're probably limited in terms of what you can and can't reveal but I thought I'd try to get some more details anyway.
. Story mode plan to have branching paths? Joke/Real endings ala BlazBlue?
. You say "non-canon"what does that mean exactly? That each characters specific endings aren't part of the "true" line of events?
. You say talking portraits, does this mean story mode will be voiced?
. You mentioned something before about how Squigly / Umbrella not having "a particularly prominent role in the first arc of the story." Does this mean that there are plans to continually update story mode throughout the game's release?
Is it possible to randomly generate that before the game actually starts so it fits into memory but you still get all of the winposes?
Not sure how you guys handle your loading.

I'll make a note of that.

I think this game is powered by hate as much as it is powered by praise because it just keeps getting better and better despite the "controversy" that surrounds it. I bet January is gonna be full of surprises now that Reverge is in the home stretch.
Indeed
This game would be a deal at $40. The fact that it'll probably be $15-$20 is amazing and a steal. I can't wait to see how they update the game with DLC and patches(not necessarily balance, Mike has gone on record stating that they'll be rare).
Even the hitboxes are misogynist!!Some information has appeared about the training mode features of the game - specifically hitsun and hitbox display: http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Skullgirls/Practice_Room

I'm not even phased.
Right now, all I need is a release date.

Hit boxes are evocative of 3S to me. Didn't that game use a bunch of small quads to more or less mirror the area of the sprites instead of fewer, large, arbitrary boxes?

Last Week's FnF is finally up:

Painwheel's palette is nice and it looks like they moved up from version .99.

BB isn't like that either, so it isn't just Capcom.
I can already tell Im going to intensely loathe Cerebella players.
I blame Mike being so good.
Yeah I was really wondering hard if that .999 meant the game was going to be submitted in a week or two with a hidden surprise last character or something.

NOPE! Still waiting for confirmation of a release date though it honestly seems like we're just on the cusp of an official feature complete version of the game being shown to the public. From various comments from the developers it seems like they're on track with whatever deadline they've personally set for completion but the approval process for putting the game on PSN and XBL is what's keeping them from setting an official release date.
I'd imagine we'll be told 3-4 weeks before release.

Is it just me, or do camera videos@30FPS look better than direct-feed videos @30FPS when it comes to animation?
I mean obviously direct feed 60FPS trumps everything, but for some reason I feel like more of that smoothness that makes watching 60FPS vids so good is retained in the camera vids.
Valentine looks pretty hype on rushdown, as well as that ultra-lame Peacock zoning. Loved the steamroller kill
I can't wait to see more direct feed video of Valentine just to get a better look at how quirky her normals/specials are. Her throw/air throw animations are awesome now that they're in. Finishing Ms. Fortune off by sawing at her neck was awesome and kinda makes me wish that mechanic where you could knock her head off from her body was still around(or just certain attacks like that one knock her head off when you kill her).

I dunno about that. I really don't see it.
Sorry again about Friday Night Fight slipping again - I delivered it to GT, but it was a big one and probably would've taken several hours to convert, and they might've also bumped it for their other weekend stuff.
There will be a lot of video this week, though...!
First party rules for downloadable games prohibit you from making release date announcements until the game has been approved.
We're not done yet, but we're getting close - mostly tech stuff, bug-fixing and finalizing Valentine and the 8th character.

Man that is cool looking.
Alex just redid her smoke bomb to me more swirly and ninja-y and, yes, it's pretty awesome.

Yes. See a few posts up.

This is a silly thing but are some of the backgrounds in the demo builds not fully painted yet? I'm just curious because they seem inconsistent. Some structures and NPCs are detailed, others appear to be sketch lines with rough brush fill in covering them.
They're basically final now - there might be a few minor tweaks, but the stuff you're talking about are part of the style he's going for. He wants a very distinct, painterly style so that the characters read well against them.
Are for NPCs... Basically, the further characters get in the background, the more painterly they become - the fighting characters have strong black outlines, characters in the immediate background are a little fuzzier with lighter outlines, and they get less and less defined the further back they go.

OK - I think the backgrounds have shaped up really well from the early prototypes. I was just curious if they were going to change again before release.
