Avery's a good friend of mine, we used to hang in Boston before he moved to SF to take the Gamespot position. Though, when he mentioned the Xbox version of MI to me yesterday, I got kind of confused, it seems really weird that SNK would wait until now to spring it. He said it was 95% complete, which led me to wonder if he was confused, but considering he said it to me and wrote it in the article as well, I gotta believe there's a good reason for that.
Anyway, I meant to ask him about Terry's engrish being translated, still can, but he's in France at the moment.
I still want to play KOF MI, but the more I hear about the gameplay from people who have similar taste in games, the more I think I'm going to hate it. Blah.

If you like KOF, it plays much the same way only nearly twice as fast. The only thing messed about it is the side-step, though the moves don't track so it's not worthless either. Yeah, it's combo friendly, but it would be silly to expect it to be VF4 anyway. Don't expect it tournament ready, just expect it to be fun.
Yeah, but I mean... how long will it be fun single player? I'm probably going to buy it anyway (Xbox version, anyway) because I was excited for it, but I'm not sure if I want to pay $50 for it. XBL netplay will probably be fun even if the game is totally broken, because... well, I like fighting games online. So with CvS2, GGX2#R, DOAU, KOF2k2, 2k3, 3S and ST, plus this and SvC which doesn't really count, XBL is going to have quite the nice fighting lineup. I'll wecome this and pass judgement on it later.
One thing I usually say in its defense when people claim it's "dumbed down" is that it might work out well for SNK as an introductory KOF game. Accessable system, modern-looking graphics, and so forth might lead people who were never interested in KOF before to go check out the other games. Some people view it as a betrayal to hardcore KOF fans, and that's probably the wrong way to look at it.

I've been playing it mostly single player and it's a lot of fun for me at least. If I just want to screw around, I play 3vs3 with random characters. If I want a challenge, I tackle the challenge mode missions. If I want to laugh at the loopy plot (but watch the cool intros) I play story mode. So even when friends are busy, I can still play it. I'm getting a lot more use out of it than I did the entire DOA series... and I like that series.

Betraying what? That its 3D? Aside from the side-stepping and the increased speed, it plays exactly like the 2D KOFs. If that's what you're comparing it to, it doesn't feel dumbed down, in fact it feels more complex. If you're comparing it to something like VF4... nothing is going to measure up. That series has been refined to hell and back already.

The person who did Guile's voice for the SF2 Animated Movie in the Dub is the same voice actor who does Ranma 1/2's Ryoga voice in Ranma 1/2 and he works for Ocean Studios as well. Long story short,they did not pull people off the street.
For one thing, I was referring to Capcom's video game dubs like MMX4 and Resident Evil. And the "off the street" comment was just my way of saying "Very minor 3rd rate voice actors with little to sometimes no experience". Capcom didn't handle the Anime's localization (at most supervised it), MANGA did.
The Street Fighter US Cartoon was done by Ocean Studios, the voice casts for the Anime was done by Bandai's group; different set of actors there. Oh and FYI, the actor you're thinking of is named Michael Donovan.

Both dubs of FF and SF Animes are horrible. If you hear Terry's Japanese Voice and if you hear his American voice, it's like the vocal difference between James Earl Jones and Pee Wee Herman.
Well I can't comment on that, I watched the FF movie a LONG time ago (before i was into SNK games) and I really liked the SF2 Movie. All I'm saying is, if they put English voice actors, put some real professionals in. That's all I ask.
