There are...lots of King of Fighters still coming out.
And KOF had a 3d game called Maximum Impact.. |
As a KOF Fan, i know about Maximuim Impact. Hence my statement about them going 3D. But i read that there's not going to be a KOF '04, but they will continue the franchise into 3D. If they do, i hope that they create the teams, since that's what primarily makes KOF the KOF we all know. KOF: MI lacked that.

Go to www.google.com and do a web search for Soul Calibur II. The game's website should be the first one you see. |
Well, i did that, and there weren't that many pics to see. Well, i did that a few months ago, so there should be more out, i guess.
EDIT: *sees himuro's pics* Waahh!!?? What in the world is that character?! :shock: _________________ Guardian of Greenhill & Devoted Protector of Oulan

There's no KOF04 but there is a new KOF coming out. THere was a new 2d KOF called KOF: Neowave. There's also a KOFXI which is basically KOF 04. |

Why did they make an OWL? Why not a falcon/hawk/eagle/ whatever? Owl is definetly a bad idea. :| |

Well the story of Olcadan is he mastered every fighting style and every weapon type while a normal man and he could beat every other mortal. So he challenged the God's, lost and was cursed with that horrible socially tragic form we see now. So he went into seclusion and upon feeling that there was a challenge in the world he emerged and began to seek new competition. There you have it. My guess is that it was a Celtic culture based on that notework design on his loin cloth design and that white owls are a Celtic thing, as well as other animals. Generally animals were a prevalent symbol. Also he has the arm bands which look Celtic.
So Seigfried killed Nightmare in the close of Soul Calibur 3, something like a pure voice cut through the darkness type deal. This seperated him from Soul Edge so he regained his human form. But the evil was so strong that Nightmare, the Azure Night, was givin life again by the Soul Edge and became a human less monster tool of Soul Edge. I think it lives off souls. The new character Tira is a slave to Nightmare, Zasalamel is the shady character thats from an ancient cult devoted to fighting against the evil blade.
Zasalamel is the sole survivor. He constantly reincarnates so he's really the product of an ancient people and he knows much of magic and the like. I think his archetype puts him as the character that is strong and set in his ways. Stubborn sort of and he see's only the darkest way to completing his righteous task. Like he would be the guy to choose to kill all those infected to save everyone else from the Anonymous Plague.
The other new character, Setsuka, has her story intertwined with Mitsurugi. I don't think her role in the Soul Edge storyline will be too major, but I think she will prove interesting to use in combat because her style is supposed to be quick draw, japanese samurai style.
Cervantes is back for sure, which is exciting. Sophitia may actually handle differently from Cassandra for a change, which would be o so beautiful. From fighting styles in generally I know that Tira will have a lot of gymnastic influences and I guess will handle like a dancer. Zasalamel is supposed to excel at moving people with his scythe, controlling the space. It's similar to Astaroth but I think it will have more variety and more effective with it's greater emphasis.
Overall, Soul Calibur 3 looks to be a promising game. It releases on the 25th(less than 2 weeks) and I've already invested 20$ at EB Games on it. It's my most highly anticipated game for the entire year. For all the new information on the game I go here. It's supported by the namco site I believe so it's reliable information. For screenshots Gamespy has about 300 different shots. Some aren't that great but there are others that show a little about the new character creation mode. BTW Character creation mode looks like the balls. It maybe the selling point of the game. 10 jobs, I'm guessing 4-5 weapons for each job with move sets, male and female attire lines, it all looks so scrumcelscent.
EDIT: 1-I had to figure out how to apply tags to the urls, which is different thatn you might think. 2-Try to link to the images. Posting images dierectly on the boards is discouraged cuz it slows down the load and it wastes bandwidth?(I think) Anywho, try to host it on photobucket or imagehost or wherever and link to it. They give you the line so it's not really that hard once you have an account. Just a word of advice before the mods tell you what I've heard in the past o so many times.
EDIT2: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Acheron88/d2dd0467.jpg
That looks really fun! They posted new screenshots on Gamespy, 38 I think. They have more stuff on this big guy and several shots of the new coin collecting aspect of the game. They're fairly large golden tokens with Soul Calibur 3 logo on them. |

Cool pictures there, Acheron.
Doesn't the game come out tomorrow? Or, rather, today? (EST - it's 12:18) _________________

O Yeah it comes out today. My copy is pre-paid for and I'll pick it up between 5:00 and 5:30 tomorrow with my teeshirt they hand out too! HuzzaH! Sadly, I have much to do this week afterschool so not as much playing as I had hoped. I can't really start playing til Friday, but Friday shall be my day!
The one thing about this game that I'm really looking forward to most is probably Character Creation. Especially with the weapon thats basically knives on your feet. Hopefully the blade feet will have some of Necrid's kicks from 2, since that was kind of the only thing that was really his and they were pretty damn awesome. O well, the shuriken on a string(?) looks to be cool too. So much time, so little to do, to quote Willy Wonka. |

I think this game is looking great. I don't have it, but I am definately going to get it sometime or another. I just hope it isn't as much of a button-masher as Soul Caliber 2 was. That kind of turned me off when I could have been beaten by a person who only pressed the same button in rapid motion when I knew all of the movesets, how to do them, etc. _________________

I played it today at the mall and it was pretty awesome. On the create a character there were four types of fighter you can choose and the rest is cosmetics that you unlock as you play. It seems pretty awesome and Nightmare looks kooler than ever :twisted: Everyone else had new outfits as would be expected and they all looked pretty good. It also seemed harder to accidentally fall off the edge than it was in SC II. Overall I'd say it is awesome, I'm gonna get it after my next pay check :D _________________

You know, this is just demanding some comical photoshopped imaged of him and the "O RLY?" owls...
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it hadn't already been done. _________________

I haven't played this game yet, but I did just pick up a used copy of Soul Calibur 2 for only fifteen bucks! Yeaaah!(OK, so I'm only a couple years behind.... :oops: ) _________________ "Into battle we ride
