>People liked it on launch
People LARP'd and pretended to like it on launch, before immediately dropping it (like they do with all nu-SNK games)

SNK doesn't really do a hell of a lot to encourage engagement with their products after release, other than market DLC a little bit. Sometimes they sell their characters to some second-rate gacha looking for cheap collabs like everyone else does, but not much else.
Compare it to capcom who invests pretty heavily in street fighter "aftercare", keeping people engaged and interested, despite the team getting organ harvested to put more into monhon.
They're trying a little bit harder in the youtube department this time for COTW, but I feel like that must be because they've got someone who's actually into doing that, rather than a better mindset, because they're not showing any signs of getting on the ball otherwise.

Nothing, it's just an SNK fighter. Funny enough it's doing better than CotW and probably cost them a fraction of it considering how much retarded marketing they did for that game.

The /neog/ community. There's nothing more pathetic than people who reside in a general for years, only to shit on the games constantly. Who in the fuck wants to hang out with such waste of space.

online was broken, literally, took too long to find games and it took ages for them to fix it.The game isn't giga slop with ez neutral and ez mixups, the game actually filters like older fighting games unlike modern fg's
>t. got pseudo filtered myself, other fg's are so much easier

Same thing that’s wrong with every fighting game - it isn’t 1992-2004 anymore. There’s no arcade to play with other normal people, the no-lifer sweats on the internet grind out the meta an hour after the game comes out, and there’s literally a million other fucking games to be playing.
Video games are not meant to go on forever. There is a finite number of players with a finite number of hours and more games now than anyone could possibly hope to play in a lifetime. 3+ year development cycles is not a working business model anymore.

Same thing that went wrong with City.
Nearly all of the characters are not appealing, design wise. That simple contemporary look worked in the 90s when their pixel animations had flair. Doesn't work anymore, now they look like a bunch of background NPCs getting a joke fighting game.
The SNK combo structure is awful and has always been awful. Close normal into repeating the same EX special multiple times in a row that juggles into Super is pretty much all any character has.
The fucked matchmaking is just an excuse that directs away from the real reason that SNK makes unpopular shit.
SNK isn't "old school." SNK is just bad and refuses to make their shit not suck.

Game itself was fine, it just suffers from being a has-been franchise, which in turn means it has no players in the regions of the world that actually matter. I'm sure Mexico or some other shit hole went crazy for it.

Online was fucked for awhile like most of SNK's modern releases (I think CotW is the only game that wasn't fucked over). Outside of that the people who play KOF for the story and character interactions (like myself) got what they wanted and bounced without really touching online.

KoF 13 wasn't like this and it's the only one newfags and tourists care to talk about.
It's time to learn your lesson SNK niggers.
