That other post was weaksauce. It was made by an industry plant.

Now THIS is how you make a tierlist that could potentially ban you from this sub.

Fuck KOF XV, I'm about to SHATTER SOME EXPECTATIONS

WHAT THE F----------!?????

HEINDERN THAT IS YOUR DAUGHTER, Do you see something wrong with the image next? How about the other one? Scroll, ok that one's better BUT SCROLL AGAIN, LOOOOK!!! Last time I checked SHE'S A MINOR!!

Bro that is your WHOLE Daughter! Not of blood BUT STILL, If my supposedly adopted sister got caught Dead wearing that Out into the World, SHE'D AT LEAST GET A SCOLDING FROM MY DAD.

Oh and she's not just anyone mind you, she's a SOLDIER, If that was My DAUGHTER I'm sending on missions YOU BET YOUR BUTT SHE'S WEARING (Scroll for armour) BODY ARMOR, last thing I want to go through is another funeral. C'mon bro. And for those saying "that's an American Uniform", SCROLL AGAIN, You get the point,

BUT SERIOUSLY BRO I DON'T GIVE 🐓 IF SHE CAN SLICE THE AIR WITH HER HANDS, I DON'T EVEN CARE IF SHE GOT GRENADES FOR EARRINGS- wait a minute... What??

YOU GAVE HER WHAT?? Heindern! You're Literally Head of this Task Force, YOU ARE PRACTICALLY A VETERAN! You do know what Grenades are, right? What in your right mind gave you the idea to put grenades, RIGHT NEXT TO HER HEAD, TWO OF THEM TOO.

NOT TO MENTION that when she fights, she moves around a lot and she just launches those grenades to her opponent are you not worried she's going to set them off accidentally from all the movement??

I'm sorry Heindern but you may be one of the most dangerous Troopers on the Roster, but you ain't gonna be on my hotline to babysit my kids.

Oh she Has Orochi in her blood so "she can take it"? What are we doing? If I heard that My Daughter can Turn into a Yandere and go berserk, I'M NOT GOING TO TRAUMATIZE HER FURTHER WITH WAR SHI, NOOOO!

If I adopted her (which y'all could argue would be a lame outcome), I'm giving her the best childhood she'll ever see, We'll go on Park Walks, We'll Practice Cooking Waffles and Pancakes! You bet if she wants to do martial arts I'll let her, But Seriously who Green Lit this Adoption?

Nah- WHO GREEN LIT HER UNIFORM! "It's literally covered by a Pancho, bro, it's not that deep 🥀🥀", SHE LITERALLY TAKES IT OFF TO AURA FARM IN HER ENTRANCE, Poor Leona probably scrapes her Knees and Elbows Because they have no protection.... And she doesn't even have it anymore in the newer Games!

Omg yay Leona Got Pants in the newer Games- GIVE HER A DAMN SHIRT OR SOMETHING- I didn't wanna bring Kukri into this, BUT ONE OUTFIT HE GIVES HER HAS A MILITARY SHIRT ON HER, AND SHE FIGHTS JUST AS FINE (Except bro decided to trade off and just remove her pants for the shirt).

BUT STILL, You can be mindful and professional! If the Tank Top you gave her as a Kid doesn't fit her anymore, YOU CAN BUY HER ANOTHER BIGGER ONE, YOU'RE MILITARY BRO, YOU GET TRUST FUNDS FOR ANYTHING, FROM A HELICOPTER WITH A MACHINE GUN TO LITERALLY ANYTHING METAL SLUG HAS SHOWN ME.

What are we calling this post... A Daddy Rant? Stay peachy everyone ✌️

I’m just curious. I wouldn’t know at all.

Hii Ive been trying to find a cute mobile game to play recently but it seems like everything uses ai now which I would like to avoid 👍

I got an ad for this game and I wanted to try it, but I remember this franchise having some controversy for using gen ai for their games in the past. Just wanted to ask the experts/people who are better at identifying this stuff than me!

King of Fighters 94-97: Kyo Kusanagi Iori Yagami Vice Shermie

King of Fighters 99-2001: K’ Dash Maxima Vanessa Angel

Fatal Fury: Terry Bogard Mai Shiranui Blue Mary Rock Howard

Art of Fighting Ryo Sakazaki Robert Garcia Yuri Sakazaki Kasumi Todoh

Samurai Shodown: Haohmaru Nakoruru Genjyuro Kibagami Galford D. Weller

Bosses: Goenitz Geese Howard

Original Character: Ai

Hidden Charcter: Ash Crimson

I only found out about KOF two years ago. Plus, there’s barely any Russian content about it—like, seriously very little. So it's totally fine for me to try some things out without knowing the lore.

Dear SNK,

First off, allow me to express my most enthusiastic appreciation for ALL that you and your collective have designed, produced and released into the World. I'm speaking to/with you at This moment not as a Fan, but as Your Son. That's Right, a son You raised from the time I was left on the company doorstep in 1993 to Now. This isn't a letter of disapproval, disdain or dissatisfaction...it's more so a letter of remembrance. A reminder so to say of who/what you Are. I see what you're doing with your upcoming 'City of the Wolves' project and it looks interesting so far. I mean I'm already stoked to get my hands on the game. However, I want to point out some things that are obvious to me and some who can consider themselves Fans of the Original (Shin Nihon Kikaku/SNK Corporation) company. Please do not take this as slight against you, but understandably...it's been somewhat difficult for you to transition into this online play era of gaming. So much so that it's brought about some questionable business and marketing practices.

SNK was the first...The First gaming company that actually established some connectivity and continuity within their games and characters. Which assisted in many fans to feel involved when partaking in playing those classic arcade/home games. Other companies "borrowed" that floor plan and established PALE comparisons to the characters, stories and personalities of your properties. You guys were Rock Stars. True innovators of the 90s. Although you never got the acclaim and recognition you deserved in those times. You've had a strong presence in MANY areas of the World, but not the reach as the "other" company and titles with all due respect. Character design, gaming mechanics...and other innovative conceptions that put you YEARS AHEAD of your competition. You guys were Untouchable for Years in those aspects. Your games were interactive, they gave fans something to look forward to upon Any announcement of either a sequel or a new project you guys were dropping. Once you either put a quarter in a Neo-Geo MVS machine, hit the switch of a Neo-Geo AES console or even got ahold of a ported version of one of your classic titles and that 'SNK' logo chimed in - stating 'The Future is Now'...Fans KNEW they were in for an Awesome experience.

While other gaming companies were simply taking the cookie-cutter mold, refilling it and adding various "nic-nacs" claiming it was a different cookie. You guys took the mold, reshaped it and produced products that gave lead way for the next project to be better than the last. SNK was not scared to challenge the so-called status quo of gaming. SNK was not so easily influenced to cut corners and find an "easier" route to get their titles past the borders of their popularity. Their confidence and pride in their products showed with each and every title. From 'Crystalis' to 'The King of Fighters 2000'. With every sketch, sprite, build-up and development...each SNK title can and will stand out from games that came before and most certainly games that came after. However, in this new age of gaming...SNK has had multiple dilemmas that can easily hinder the progress of a title/game that helped defined their legacy. Although many of the games in this new era can be said to be visually stunning, there's not much that helps to carry these new titles beyond its visuals. Case in point, 'KoF XV'. Visually beautiful. No complaints there. No complaints At All. I will state that these new age titles suffer from 2 main components. The first being that upon release...fans, hardcore and casual gamers have had tedious times finding matches online. In this day and age, that is Essential if you want to even somewhat stay afloat in the gaming industry. Second, your current titles have been infected from what A LOT of games have been plagued with...and that's a lack of Replay Value.

Like other games, once gamers go through the hoops, hurdles and obstacles of unlocking special items, characters and stages...what's left but to wait for seasonal DLC for us to purchase. Hoping to add depth to a semi-completed game. The story in 'The King of Fighters' series hasn't been engaging since 'The King of Fighters XI'. It's like you guys have settled to how your "competitors" are producing their titles and taking their leftover scraps. Especially almost every fighting game looking similar to how 'Street Fighter IV' looked. Again, I am Your Son...you Raised me...You've contributed So Much to my upbringing...So I'll ALWAYS Love you for what you've done for Me. So I ask that you do not receive my words with any scorn, ridicule or contempt. I'm just a fan, being a fan...expressing the Love I have for what made me a fan. Look at me, I'm typing this entertaining the idea that someone from the company would actually read this, smh, lol. But forgive me for my being too wordy and pardon me if I came off antagonistic. Either way, with that I say...

Thank You SNK,

Do you find this image (from KOF '99) funny?

Would you still find it funny if the roles were reversed?

Yes I love ikari warriors.

Okay, I underrated the old man from Psycho Soldiers. He goes into the 'not bad' tier.

I grew up playing Metal Slug, I love it, now that memory is tarnished by SNK being owned by Mohammed Bin Salman, a dictator that heads a totalitarian government and has committed numerous human rights violations and has murdered countless of journalists and activists.

Like, in Metal Slug I was fighting against an evil tyrant (General Morden), and now the company that made Metal Slug is now owned by another tyrant?, what gives!?

SIMPLE QUESTION.

I dont have the biggest knowledge on SNK characters outside of king of fighters so if there is anything stupid in this list let me know

Just as I promised in my previous post, I will share my conspiranoid theory.

This theory will be focused on two characters:

• Hinako Shijou

• Malin

It's necessary to know the following King of Fighters arcs and games:

• NESTS arc (more specifically KOF 2000 and KOF 2001)

• KOF 2003: The beginning of the Ash arc; this is the game

• KOF EX arc: An AU where Kyo was found and caretaken by Moe Habana instead of being kidnapped by NESTS, and where ten sacred treasures known as the Tokusano Kandakara are established alongside the mainline games' Imperial Regalia.

What are the Tokusano Kandakara from KOF EX2? They'll be relevant for my theory, so there's a summary:

• 沖津鏡 (Okitsu no Kagami): Unknown holder.

• 辺津鏡 (Hetsu no Kagami): Wielded by Reiji Oogami; it grants him duplication powers and fire manipulation powers.

• 八握剣 (Yatsuka no Tsurugi): Wielded by Moe Habana; it grants her cherry blossom petal manipulation powers.

• 生玉 (Ikutama): Wielded by Jun Kagami; it grants her superstrength and possibly gravity manipulation powers.

• 死返玉 (Makarukaeshi no Tama): Wielded by Sinobu Amou; it grants him lightning manipulation powers.

• 足玉 (Tarutama): Unknown holder.

• 道返玉 (Chika-heshi no Tama): Wielded by Miu Kurosaki; it grants her slicing hands and energy powers that manifest as crow feathers.

• 蛇比礼 (Orochi no Hire): Unknown holder.

• 蜂比礼 (Hachi no Hire): Unknown holder.

• 品物之比礼 (Kusagusa no Mono no Hire): Unknown holder.

As you know, five of the ten holders weren't revealed... but I have a conspiracy theory.

Hinako and Malin might be holders of two of the Tokusano Kandakara.

Before anyone loses their minds, I'll explain why (and keep in mind both girls are Japanese, just like the five revealed Tokusano Kandakara wielders from KOF EX2):

• Hinako is a slim girl, and she's not the tallest character... but that doesn't stop her from lifting, pushing, and throwing heavier and bigger characters than her. Hinak has superstrenght, not unlike Maxima, Ángel, or Jun Kagami herself. However, Hinako's superstrength doesn't have an in-universe explanation, unlike:

  • Maxima, who is a cyborg.

  • Ángel, who was genetically-enhanced by NESTS.

  • Jun, who is the holder of the Ikutama, one of the Tokusano Kandakara.

• But if Hinako was another holder of one of the Tokusano Kandakara, then it would explain why the female sumo wrestler is so strong despite being a slim and petite girl. Ironically enough, both Hinako and Jun would share the same power if that theory was canon (except Hinako doesn't have gravity manipulation powers...).

• Malin made her debut in KOF 2003, being a member of an unknown organization that specializes in gathering intelligence. Aside of that info, nothing more is established about the organization, not even its name (and that organization was entirely forgotten in KOF XI, because SNK Playmore gave Malin a rivalry with Yuri Sakazaki). But... what if the organization Malin works for is actually the Tokusano Kandakara? That would be amusing.

• And here are two facts that lead me to believe Malin could be afilliated with Moe/Reiji/Jun/Miu/Sinobu:

  • When Malin uses Jo'oubachi, one of her DMs, she dive kicks her opponent, and then repeatedly dragon-kicks them with a clone of herself. Please retain in your mind "with a clone of herself". Does this remind you of someone? Which one of the Tokusano Kandakara granted duplication powers, and who was its wielder? The Hetsu no Kagami, wielded by Reiji Oogami. Malin's duplication whil using Jo'oubachi may be because she's secretly wielding one of the ten Tokusano Kandakara.

  • As much as she hates bugs, Malin's special attacks and DMs follow a bug naming motif (Hornet, Yellowjacket, Mayfly, Scorpion, Spider and Queen Bee). And all of these moves involve the use of blades and may reference their stings and/or their movements. This is relevant, because one of the five treasures whose wielder wasn't revealed is the Hachi no Hire (Bee-repelling Scarf). What if Malin's sacred treasure is this one? That could explain why she hates bugs.

And that was all. I wonder if someone agrees with my dumb theory, or at least finds it interesting.
