, posted Mon 1 Mar 11:15
After studying the screenshots and doing much deliberating. I just had quite an astounding idea of how this game will work.
This could be in fact SNK's answer to the recently released 15th Anniversary version of Street Fighter II. Here's how:
There's been many rumor and speculation that this KoF will use the Atomiswave for space and memory rather than Hi-Res graphics to put every single character ever made in a KoF (or at least 96-2k2; they might be too lazy to go and redo the 94-95 sprites like Eiji and Original "suit" Rugal). When I talked to Ben Herman about PS2 compilations that he had mentioned at E3, he said they were "behind schedule". Buty obviously hinting that such a thing was coming out. But maybe instead of a fancy case with all the KoFs on one disc, SNKP (and/or Sammy) decided to mimic Capcom in a sense.
Now here's the kick, SF2AE focused on just SF2 series, but they added in all the modes of play (Original SF2 to SSF2T). As you all know, the screenshots for NeoWave suggest that there will be multiple grooves (so far seemingly 3). It could be very possible, that like SF2AE, they'll be multiple grooves based on each era of games (obviously not a groove for every single game). So far the speculated grooves are:
-Advanced and Extra Gauges (94-98; shown in Ralf/Clark Screenshots)
-2k1/2k2 based Gauge (shown in Kyo/Iori shot)
And I think they could go a little farther and add at least a 99/2000 based Gauge with Armor and Counter Mode, and SDMs when low on health. Now whether they'll have optional strikers or not is still up in the air.
Now my theory doesn't just end there. Now you may all have noticed Kyo is in his Nests outfit and Clark and Ralph are in their 94-98 outfits. But take a closer look. Kyo's in his NEW outfit while using a NEW style gauge. While Clark and Ralf are in their OLD outfits with their OLD style gauge.
I think you know where I'm goping with this. yes they could adopt that similar tweak that SFA3 had where Chun-Li's outfit changed based on which Ism you chose. Yes, I'm aware that if they did it, each outfit would be like a whole new character. But that's why they have the Atomiswave to do this. Now whether they'd do every outfit for numerous costume changes (Athena) it's still very plausible they just might adopt this for at least SOME of the characters. And if all of this were true, if they really were trying tyo mimic Capcom. Just imagine what kind of extras they could include in the console ports.
Just an idea, I had to share (and that other topic was starting to get full)

How can it be SNK's answer to SF2:AE when it's being made by Sammy? Anyway SF2:AE is a complete rehash... no new art, sprites, or backgrounds, just a remix of the SF2 titles. Neowave is obviously a new game with new art and backgrounds, along with at least one new gameplay element- Just Defend which has never been in KOF before.
They're still not making it on their own entirely, most likely. I'm sure there's still SNK doing some kind Supervising production.
If not, then sorry this could be Sammy's answer to Capcom's SF2 in the name of SNK (try fitting that in the title)^_^
I'm just saying the two MAY be similar as far as gameplay goes. I didin't mention the *differences*, so sorry for the confusion. While SF2:AE was just SF2 with remixed music it allowed players to play as any "version". While I think Sammy/SNK is planning around the same concept but takeing it a little farther from just a "rehash" (new backgrounds, engine, etc thus giving a "fresher" yet "familiar" feel).
And yes, while I look forward to Just Defend in a KOF, it kinda contradicts my "theory". Maybe they just threw it in out of nowhere like Capcom did for CVS2?
