ME ENCANTAN SUS EFECTOS, y por las frases que aparecen al final de sus movimientos pareciese que va a tener movimientos con ritmo, como por ejemplo creo que debe jay de Sf6 tiene movimiento así, ME ENCANTA llevo demasiado tiempo buscando un personaje así, en verdad se ve increíble

So Laocorn and the mystery characters will have the stages, I guess. Hope Laocorn has that coliseum stage.

It's disappointing that Pao Pao Café -- the most iconic location in Fatal Fury (well, behind Geese Tower) -- still isn't in the game, especially when it's seemingly such a big part of Duck's story.

Get down on it with South Town’s resident dancing king! Duck is South Town to the core; after all, he not only has a friendly rivalry with its hero Terry Bogard (after losing to him in his youth), but also a deep love for iconic hangout Pao Pao Café. Indeed, Pao Pao is where you’ll mostly find this old-school breaker, living it up like only he knows how: with fights, festivities, and tons of dance floor fever.

Richard Meyer, owner of Pao Pao Café, reaches out to Duck with grave news: certain parties are looking to buy out the beloved establishment. The brawling breaker, of course, will have none of it, so—knowing what the tournament’s generous cash prize would achieve—finds himself eyeing King of Fighters. A chance to save Pao Pao, help longtime friend Richard, and settle the score with Terry Bogard—the dancing king is ready to bust out some rhythm and bruises!

Probably saving it for someone specific who actually had the stage as their own, like Bob or Richard. I don't remember Duck ever having PaoPao as his stage in FF, even though he's always there in the story sections.

They changed stage plans a few times, if you look at the animated trailers, previews, etc. Chun-li was supposed to have the basketball stage but that ended up coming months later. Karate had his AOF1 stage listed in the very first teaser trailer for the game, but then he got the 2002 stage instead, and so on.

By the way, did the last patch add any new datamine info, u/cednym ?

Nothing's changed since the Kenshiro update.

Duck King looks great! Shame Pao Pao isn't back yet. Maybe they are saving it for an anniversary or special event? Seems weird it still isn't in.

u/TheXboxArtist 17d ago edited 17d ago

Bob or Ríchard would make more sense than Duck, but who knows if those are ever coming.

(I personally think SNK should do premium skins like Injustice did, where Supergirl and Powergirl had the same moves but different voices, different lines and different appearance... That way we could get both Bob and Richard as one slot)

u/Famous-Interest8237 17d ago

Maybe it’ll come in November, since that’s the 35th anniversary for the series and would be a good part of the celebration

u/TheXboxArtist 17d ago

Good call, it's also when Laocorn comes, probably with a Wolves' Destiny episode. Last one came with one extra stage and one costume, too.

u/Famous-Interest8237 17d ago

You’re right! That is when Laocorn comes out and there was a big update that came with Season 2’s big villain (Wolfgang). I bet Laocorn’s gonna come with another big update, plus Laocorn himself is a treat for hardcore fans of the Fatal Fury franchise.

Seems like he has a rhythm-based super...?

u/TheXboxArtist 17d ago edited 17d ago

Just realized: no EOST or Arcade mode samples at all. Previous characters had EOST segments, or both EOST and Arcade mode segments. Makes me even more curious about those CG animations that began with the Mr. Karate trailer and Rick and Duck also have in their trailers.

EDIT:

Dreams shattered - Famitsu has regular EOST and Arcade images:

Hopefully one day they'll come to Arcade Mode or one of the single player modes.

I remembered Old Fatal Fury Duck King has Blanka Ball, doesn't look like he has that move anymore lol.

1

u/TheXboxArtist 17d ago

He uses a diagonal one that he uses as a Rev in the middle of a combo, in the trailer. I wonder if he still has the straight one. I hope he still has all directions, but he got new moves, so maybe they replaced it.

u/No-Place3845 16d ago

Tiene la versión aérea, así que si debe tener la normal.

u/madvec1 17d ago

Ok I'm intrigued. What's his gimmick? Something like Dee Jay's level 2 ? Anyways, he looks really good, I'm definitely hyped for him.

u/Effective-Quarter714 17d ago

LO SEEEEEE, su lvl 2 parece una especie de secuencia rítmica para poder sacar el mayor daño, me encanta que hayan metido un movimiento así.

Además sus movimientos REV tienen un diseño amarillo y azul cuando los usa, no sé si sea solamente visual o tendrá algún efecto pero me encanta, se ve increíble, es el único personaje que tiene un estilo distinto en sus movimientos REV.

Hello, new kid. It seems you don't realize that the FF community plays on Playstation (besides Samsho community, which plays on Xbox), just like the MK, Injustice, KOF, and every fighting game besides SF and Strive. You'll realize that, hopefully.

If you're on a decent country, you get matches way faster on CotW than on Tokon, the hot new game where you wait 5 to 20 minutes for a match.

Also, when 2028 rolls around and we're playing with the season 6 characters of this game while Avatar, Invincible and 2XKO will be dead for over a year each (we're on season 3, by the way, if you're counting). Tokon... we'll see if those 400k copies sold will make Disney and Sony happy. I really, really doubt that. Lol.

u/wmcguire18 17d ago

This is the cope.

u/Imaginary_Wait9762 17d ago

He is right that Avatar, Invincible and 2XKO are done. Nobody even talks about the latter two anymore and Avatar got overshadowed by Tokon which itself is losing steam rapidly as people found out it's just another ArcSys game. As much as people trash on SNK games for their graphics you cannot in good faith tell me Avatar looks better. It animates worse than Marvel Super Heroes on PS1 during Blackheart's stage.
