The King of Fighters series has been a great game to those whose are into the old school fighters. In this release, a well developed fighting engine has been introduced using the Guard Attack, Clash System and Critical Combo. Although this installment doesn't have a large roster like it's precedents, XII has a unique selection of martial arts styles clashing as well as characters; a great deal of art detail has been applied to all of the characters to make players understand the personality and weight of the character they fight with. Under the hands of a new and ambitious SNK President and publisher, future releases will be anticipated by veterans and hopefully the new generation.

Over and out

Today marks the begining of the KoF franchise, as we see that SNK is saving our beloved 2D style fighting games. Hopefully people in the US will know more about KoF and add it to their top plays along with Street Fighter.

Other than just news on KoF is a podcast that talks about video games, web comics, movies, anime, manga and so much more (esp. random and corrupt moments). Please click on the link and proceed to this growing podcast for your entertainment needs.

Saturday, December 8th this year; there was a King of Fighters XI at the Anime Festival in NYC. Fighters, including myself have participated and had an amazing first battle. It was a close match, my opponent and I were both low in health and we were down to our last characters; I had Iori as my opponent had Kula. As Kula was preforming a Desperation Move, I quickly followed up on a Desperation Move myself as Iori. Everyone screamed at that point to see that Iori was the victor with Maiden Masher. I fought for third, but I ended up fourth. Reason being the fact that Leona wasn't in XI. Since I'm only decent with Kyo and Iori, I could barely get by the rest of the fights. I would have won the tournament if I had Leona.
