2D plane game, doofus.

i did not care for kof13 sprites

>>713592491 (OP)
in gameplay it look like ass
stop parroting fat fuck youtubeer game analysis wannabe

>>713592745
that's not a 3d model

>>713592491 (OP)
>>713592745
that sprite art was derived from 3D reference, so he's 1% right

3D models overall were the laziness before AI.

>ugggh it's just soooo le hard to draw 2D stuff
yeah, 3D shit is easier to work with and that killed 2D stuff, in many mediums, like animated films for example.

It's the exact same stuff people bitch about AI.
>waaah AI is for people too lazy to draw!
like, faggot, that's exactly what 3D is too. It was for people too lazy to draw.

No it doesn't, it looks BETTER in game because it has actual lighting and the backgrounds are godly.
The music is fantastic too

Shame about the gameplay being pure unfiltered degeneracy

based

Does anyone else think those sprites look really 'soft' in a bad way? Like they're made out of dough or something

>>713592491 (OP)
Looks incredible, but the amount of money and effort it took is insane.
There's a reason they transitioned into 3D: it's much easier.

>>713593064
True, XI is where all the soul went.

>>713592491 (OP)
These looked like trash compared to the classic lower res KOF sprites and also resulted in less moves and less characters, not to mention the bizarre proportions on a lot of the cast.

>>713603436
don't forget about dogshit vfx

>>713592491 (OP)
KoFXIII was so insanely heavily rotoscoped it may as well have been 3D and saved everyone some trouble.
And also just didn't look that great compared to classic SNK

>>713603127
>but the amount of money and effort it took is insane.
lol
modern games take 500 million dollars and 8 years minimum

>>713603127
>it's much easier
KOF 15 isn't selling because it looks like ass, putting in more effort to make it look good literary makes more sense from the business standpoint, they just can't do it because SNK is fucking poor after 12 and 13 flopped catastrofically.
They would make more money if they could afford to spend more on good 2D graphics.

>>713603693
garou 2 looks alright and it bombed

>>713596849
So was this one and yet no one would call it 3D.

>>713592491 (OP)
the game looked goated but it also had only 20 chars and a lot of moves were cut out completely, not worth it whatsoever

>>713603832
I thought BlazBlue's graphics were done via cel animation.

>>713603734
bro get your eyes checked, it's hideous

>>713603832
Not these days, but people were definitely making fun of ArcSys' ass rotoscopes back in the day. I remember a lot of threads about how bad Persona 4 Ultimax's sprite roto jobs were. Them going 3D was a direct upgrade because unlike SNK they committed to making the 3D look good.

>>713603923
The only SNK games that looked truly bad are KoF XIV and SNK Heroines.

Everything else they've made has been good enough. So fuck off.

>>713603923
its their best looking 3d game easily
also i genuinely think that it looks better than sf6

>>713603923
it looks decent outside of background npcs

>>713603921
nope
basically every sprite-based 2d fg made after 2000 integrated 3d models into the art pipeline

>All vidya should be walking a little man from left to right

I mean it was that. For like 15 years. Maybe we should go back.

>good enough
>decent
says it all really

dude sf6 looks like shit

>>713604675
it does but everyone plays SF by default because it's THE fighting game
you kind of need to do better to compete

>>713592491 (OP)
>https://www.fgbg.art/ - Fighting Game Background

Anyone know what happened to this site? It used to have all the best fighting game backgrounds catalogued across multiple consoles, but it's been dead for months at least.
I know all the imgur albums with good backgrounds but they're all unsorted plus on imniggur

They used 3D to make the sprites. Really cool method, I'm even thinking of doing the same

>>713604675
Yeah but you're not competing with SF as a game, you're competing with its status as the default fighting game. Just being better isn't good enough, you have to be so much better that you can convince legacy SF players to switch despite the pure inertia of being a longtime SF player.

>that sprite art
>he's 1% right
your 0 key doesn't appear to be working, here '100%', ftfy bro

>>713598307
the real reason 2d's never coming back to FGs is cosmetic DLC
There's no way to put new costumes on top of old sprites and have them animate well besides redrawing it all
3D rigging still often looks like shit but it's good enough for DLCsloppers

>>713598307
Anon, you know that one of the oldest animation techniques was rotoscoping, right? And that it all ended up going back to ‘'traditional’' hand draw animation. You just have to tell me it's cheating

really wish we had more games using the sf3 engine.

>>713605487
It's both, neutral is mostly a dumb RNG fest with everyone spamming hop CD because of lack of better options, but all your combos are 30 hits long and do 80% damage

>>713606019
I don't take the American opinion of KOF seriously. Only Asians, SA monkeys and maybe Europeans

>>713605487
Character moveset size ≠ combo length

>>713604068
Curious if there's anything like this for Melty/UNIB
