KoF Online does the best job of explaining it so here is the link to the Critical Counter feature: KOF XII: Critical Counter The other two are explained briefly in the main page: KOF XII’s Official Website & New Gameplay Systems There you have it! New gameplay features and a small number of characters for a KoF game. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyokugenKiss Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 seems great....but despite snk playmores hard work (or not, since they are finally drawing new sprites after all these years!) they decided not to keep K' (i do love Kensou in his original Psycho Soldier outfit though) will it be tag team matches now? (since the only full teams of 3 i see are Original Team Japan, Fatal Fury Team, Ikari Soldiers and Psycho solder teams and perhaps the '03 new "hero" theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyoak99 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think Wikipedia mentioned something about this: KOF XII does not feature any of the pre-defined teams traditionally featured in the series, despite presence of members from recurring teams such as the original Japan Team and the Fatal Fury Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokujin Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm not too clear on the new mechanics.I can't read the Japanese page too well.Is the Critical Counter a kind of parry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyoak99 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm not too clear on the new mechanics.I can't read the Japanese page too well.Is the Critical Counter a kind of parry. It CAN be called a parry but I wouldn't call it that because unlike Third Strike's parrying system which MAY give the one parrying an advantage; the critical counter system guarantees an advantage for the one doing the critical counter because it not just stops the attack but it also STUNS the receiving character leaving him/her open for a critical counter combo.

L.S.D Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The lack of characters seems to be uninteresting. Hopefully, the console version will see additional characters in it ala SFIV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotica Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The graphics look reasonably good, maybe just alittle too flashy, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyoak99 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 The lack of characters seems to be uninteresting. Hopefully, the console version will see additional characters in it ala SFIV. I doubt it unless you're prepared to wait YEARS for the console release. This is an observation made on the site in the opening post up there: Also, do not be surprised if there are no hidden characters at all and that these 20 characters are the ENTIRE list of playable characters, as SNK is keeping things small and simple this time, focusing on quality instead of quantity. This is understandable since redrawing one character by hand is taking them more than a year. Everything is HAND DRAWN so it takes MUCH MORE TIME than the characters from SFIV since those are simply 3D polygons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Everything is HAND DRAWN so it takes MUCH MORE TIME than the characters from SFIV since those are simply 3D polygons.Yes and no. Yes they are drawn, but no because they made 3D models of the characters first and drew over them using photoshop filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2eyez Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Critical Counter reminds of the Focus Attack from Street Fighter 4 or maybe it's just me. Regardless, I"ll get the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
