there were concept art of mvci which is more anime like arc sys but probably turned it down for the hyper realistic 
 
It's like Capcom is moving away with anime style because of the other anime games and it wanted to standout among the crowd of anime fghter but choices ends up bad
 
 

 
the nearest would could thinking about anime style is TVC, TVC artstyled aged better than MVCI
 
unpopular opinion I like TVC artstyle than MVC3
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

I have many issues with SFV. Art style is not one of them. 
 
I would not mind if they keep the same style but refine the visual quality of the models in the next title. Having that said i am curious how characters would look in a style similar to what ASW did for GG Strive. 
 
My bet however is that Capcom won't be doing that and they will play it safe and retain the style it has now, especially after the negative feedback they got from MvC Infinite,that was half dead on arrival, because of the art style alone.

SFV’s overall style is pretty good as a whole package.  The biggest flaw is “solid piece of rubber” hair. 

Blood money!? Jesus Chri- I mean Ya Allah!

I give SFV a lot of shit, but the artstyle is not bad. It needs a bit more refinement, but they've gotten a lot better since creepy pasta Ken and Babyface Vega.
Heck I would say since late Season 1 (Urien, Juri) they've been doing really really great with their models.
They should keep improving on that in my opinion.
 
They can adapt some small things from GG, for example Ramlethals Thigh Jiggles. 🤤

Yeah I hear you on that. I think Capcom and SNK have both had a really rough time with the transition to 3D. ArcSys probably would have too but they straight up cheated.
 
KOF is actually in an especially bad spot for any kind of engine/art style shift because the game needs to have so many characters. Like you can't do the thing that most games do which is launch with a core and then build out to cut down on your workload; a "core" for KOF is like 30 characters. You definitely saw that with KOFXIV and while they did polish that game's visuals up there was only so much they could do with the base models and such.
 
EDIT: Actually we've already seen a really keen example of this with KOFXII. My understanding of that game is that it was basically just an engine transition game which eventually got us to XIII.
 
I think with some more iteration you could probably get a pretty slick looking KOF game in this engine. I think XV is a marked improvement already, though to your point the art style has fundamentally shifted in a way that maybe isn't the most endearing.
 
Old man yelling at cloud moment: the thing that drew me in to all these games back in the day was how fucking sick they always looked. There was a quality to the sprite work that feels totally lost in this modern era (ArcSys again mostly avoids that with their tech). Some of the better models in SFV kinda sorta get there but then they go all dead-eyed or have some awkward facet and it pulls me right out.

me neither. If XV dropped last year and had sprites instead of 3D models, I'd probably pick it up, but since Strive is dropping in a couple months, I'm going to pass. 

And KOF just doesn't look good in 3D to me, at all. I dig a lot of the artwork and general designs of the characters, and I think they really benefitted from that SNK gradient heavy sprite style, but in 3D they all look like NPCs in a JPRG or something 

Tubb's point is important for anyone who hasn't played KOF before. Its not a team game in the same sense that Capcom fans are used it. 
 
Its more like each player has 3 lifebars and you're picking how you want each of those lifebars to play. Also gets interesting because it has some meta consideration to it. I'm not the biggest KOF fan but I'll definitely give this new one a spin if the netcode is solid.
 
Also congrats to @Vhozite on the job offer. Fuckin' awesome when that happens. Sometimes just going into an interview and being real pays off. If you had gone in there and tried to bullshit them you probably would have gone right into the reject pile. 

Teams are only relevant for story and character selection screen purposes.
 
You can build your own team.
 
The game runs on a 3v3 structure, but there's no tagging or assists, basically, rounds are 1v1. Health regens after each round by a slight amount depending on the round time left, meter carries out between rounds and you set your team order right before the match.

DOUBLE POST!
Remember, there isn't any active switching tho. 
 
KoFs in the past have had strikers, but I don't think they've done that since '00, '01.
 

pfffft, Volt over here wearing a three piece suit to court for a speeding ticket. 
 
SHOOK 

A small comparison between Mai as shown in the debut trailer and Mai shown on yesterday’s trailer.
 
 

The only time the teams were fixed was in the first KOF. Starting from 95, you can pick any three characters to make a team.

You can pick any character to make a team.

In all seriousness it was a calculated risk. I looked up the place before going and saw photos of the employees...could tell it wasn’t a hyper professional place in terms of dress. Figured they wouldn’t care even if they did notice (most people don’t), and frankly by the time I was leaving I didn’t have time to swap the laces anyway. 
 
I had dress shoes but it would’ve looked like clown shit with the rest of what I was wearing and I couldn’t find a pair of dress socks. Khakis I wore also were fading on the knees but I figured they wouldn’t see that either lol. Pro tip...don’t fall behind on laundry when looking for a job. 
 
So yeah I said “fuck it” and wore them lol. 

@Darc_RequiemGood looking out. I've already watched the original footage 100 times, might as well watch this one too.
 
In other news, I just popped the Injustice 2 platinum. That's my 137th platinum trophy on Playstation. Thanks again to @Hawkingbirdand @Mattatsufor the assists.

The only people really hype about Rose here are Yiceman who's been waiting for Rose for a while and is a real Rose fan, Twin, who haven't recognized Rose ain't a blonde, and people who still play SFV.

That's awesome! Congratulations!
 
Did you really give up like that? 
 
Bro, you can't do this, ever. If anything, you should've gone above and beyond and shown a desire to learn. I literally landed a graphics design job with my only experience on the subject being MS Paint Shitposts because my old boss recognized I had potential and willingness to learn.

For a number of jobs, this is kind of a plus.
 
If you have a resume of being willing to learn and carrying a few skills around, unless you need highly specialized knowledge (stem stuff for the most part), most jobs are going to train you. Be upfront about being willing to learn and talk about times you had to teach yourself to do hard things. Showing them a disposition that's willing to work hard and willing to learn is worth a hell of a lot more than you'd think.

Nothing is stopping me literally, I just meant I was not at all prepared to land this job. I made a lot of fucking mistakes in the application process that couldve eliminated me on the spot. I’ve literally never used the program they work with and I said as much in the interview since it was like the first question they asked. I wouldn’t have even applied if I didn’t misread the job listing. 
 
I crammed for a couple hours yesterday to brush up on knowledge but gave up because there was no way I’d be able to cover everything I wanted to. Stayed up late paying Pokémon and wore my sneakers with the different colored laces to the interview instead of dress shoes cause “fuck it”.

Damn I just got offered a job in my field (solar) I’m lowkey bout to have a panic attack. 
 
im ready but not *READY*. I applied for this job on a whim and didn’t even expect and interview, let alone a higher. 
 
This shit might actually change my life

Plenty of us feel this way about you and you’re still around. Be nice
