Papa SNK was nice enough to give me some special footage off the back of Evo Japan highlighting some cool gameplay for City of the Wolves, so lets go over it why not!? Highlighting both some cool combos, and how a lot of the gameplay mechanics work in the middle of a proper match! Ever since the Marco trailer drop ive been fiending for some more fatal fury content and I know you have been too, so enjoy the vid (leave a like maybe) and let me know what you think!
Amen amen lol. I always had a tiny gripe with how kof 15 presented color contrast with the background and characters, and I always thought the game would benefit from cell shading. Seems like they considered both of those factors, and this comic book artstyle is *chef's kiss*. So excited!!
i only have time for two fighting games now, i am 35years so no time, and this will be my second fighting game..SF6 is the first one. this is looking awesome, tizoc is going to be my main, because he reminds me of alex.
@@rooflemonger yea I believe that is why I was more interested in it than let's say guilty gear or mk1..since snk some where made on the foundation and idea of former Capcom developers..so they have quite similar feel to them.
Why I already like Preecha: 1 - She's the apprentice of Hurricane Joe; 2 - She wears glasses and (for now); 3 - She has multicolored hair. Thanks for keeping to cover the new Garou, Roofleman! Much respect, and Please Come to Brazil.
It doesn't really get shown here, but i like Preecha's tricky tornado angles. They kind of bounce into position, and it seems like she can send them in a variety of arcs. Fitting her personality, it seems her game plan involves a little more brain power than her mentor Joe's
Mark of the wolves is fantastic to get into! Has all the same mechanics outside the rev system That being said game is definitely harder then what city will be like
For me the only question at this point is if Big Bear/Raiden is in the game. Cause other than that, or barring an all new character I don't really see anyone else taking my attention away from Tizoc. We got a whole media cycle to go through though for the rest of the year coming up with a lot more trailers to go, so I guess we will see!
I don't know about Raiden specifically making it into the starting roster, but I could definitely see room for a judoka styled grappler. Though it's very difficult for me to think straight after seeing all that sweet, sweet Terry porn. I know, when was the last time we saw Cheng Sinzan? Maybe he could get a "nightmare" makeover, and be the final boss this series deserves.
as long as Kevin absent, I'm all good. i never liked his design. also, i hope SNK import already existed characters from more obscure Garou iteration. namely : Tsugumi Sendou or Tōji Sakata from Fatal Fury Wild Ambition, or Richard Meyer from first Fatal Fury.
They knew what you'd like with the Tizoc! Personally, I loved seeing those Pilediver grab punish from his just blocks, including in the air! Good defense with a grappler of all characters can be truly satisfying! :o
I already want to main like 3 characters - which is insane because I stopped playing SF6 and Strive due to no characters clicking with me. If (probably won't happen) they decide to add Alfred or Tsugumi from Fatal Fury, it's over. I am not touching another fighting game until KOF XVI. Thanks for the new footage roofle!
i have only ever played kof14 and 15 and the recent samurai showdown when it comes to SNK so i never had any ties or particular requests about the other franchises due to no personal ties to them but i am super excited for this game the more i see it
People can't whine about SNK graphics anymore, thank god. Saw someone say this is just KOF XV with a filter and it's like you either blind or you're trolling at this point, bro.
I'm already sold on the gameplay and graphics being solid for this game. KoFXV netcode and current matchmaking just needs porting over and it will be fine or better. What I'm truly curious about is single player content! Not gonna be a dealbreaker for me but I feel like they can afford to put attention there. Competetive and casual multiplayer already seems great!
I know you mentioned your previous jobs playing a role, but I cannot fathom how you are able to speak quickly, but also clearly. I have been trying to master that skill for years and am nowhere close.
well on top of the job I think part of it was me forcing myself to lose the quebec accent once I moved to ontario as a life-or-death response, cause people from quebec were NOT POPULAR to put it lightly when I made the move. So I changed my speaking pattern in multiple points of my life lol
I can’t wait for this game I love the artstyle,mechanics,and gameplay and Tizoc looks so much fun to use and might be a nightmare if you fight against him
The fact that Tizoc can actually combo i this game will probably make him eons better than his MotW version (as he should, here hoping for top tier Tizoc)
SNK has been really strong with the new waifus in their games. They're all slam dunks. Then again, same with Capcom in SF6. And Arcsys with Strive. I guess we just live in the good waifu dimension.
I'm most interested to see Freeman come back. Never played Garou but from what I've seen he looks to be a technical/rush down fighter. My kind of guy aside from just flat out rush down.
This guy's voice and words structure is so good to listen to! he articulates so well you dont want him to stop talking..i can tell he does a lot of reading besides gaming
Wow, I'm a fan of guilty gear strive and played a bit of granblue versus rising but I never thought I would be interested in these more traditional fighting games, but this game looks absolutely amazing, I think I might actually give it a try and broaden my fighting game horizon a bit. Awesome video, you always got the best breakdowns. 👍
With Nintendo confirming the switch successor at the meeting last night, I'm now hoping CotW ends up as a launch title for the system Won't personally buy it on said system but I feel it would be a good way to get sales for SNK
There's a few more matches I got footage for but honestly they are more mashy/kinda nothing happens. I went for the ones that had some strong high points one way or another.
6:04 I actually thought for a while that the KO screen being on this bit of the attack was part of the reference, since it seems very explicitly to referencing the Muscle Spark from Kinnikuman. But recently I actually revisited some of the old Kinnikuman games, and even in those the KO screen is on the final ground slam, so even with the reference it feels a little weird having the KO right there.
Thanks Rooflemonger for giving this game the spotlight it deserves. I was expecting way more coverage of it from Evo Japan, but it feels like almost everyone else decided to focus on HxH and 2XKO instead. I love Garou so this is the game that's eating up all my attention. I'm devouring every video of it I can find. There's still some finer details about the mechanics I'm curious about. For example, on the CotW website, it states that Just Defense and Hyper Defense have the same benefits, but Hyper Defense is riskier than Just Defense. So what's the use case for Hyper Defense while defending against an opponents block string vs Just Defending the whole thing? Does it have some kind of frame advantage that wasn't listed?
Honestly when Preecha was revealed I didn't like her design, I thought she was overdesigned, she looked too much like she was designed for instagram, but seeing her full body I think the design and color palette work really well and I'm glad to see my initial hesitations were misguided. Definitely gonna be a day one main for me, I loved Joe!
This and VF6 are going to consume the rest of my life. Hopefully SF, GG, Tekken, Fatal Fury and Virtua Fighter all get crossplatform versions with great online and gameplay in the future but I'm getting so old i doubt I will be interested when these titles make their next return after 2025.
@@rooflemonger makes sense for your video. I don't know where you got them but I would honestly love to see these matches and watch them if only I knew where the gameplay footages is from
Maybe I just haven't been looking in the right places, but I think this is the first time I've seen someone actually explain what is bad about Overheat. Every other video I've seen has basically just said "overheating is bad, mmkay?" and that's it.
in Asia region he has always been Griffon Mask. There's not some big controversy over it like some of the other region name changes, just sorta worked out that way.
Did you see any 2C > feint at EVO Japan? I'm desperately trying to find one example in the available footage, but no one seemed to even tried it, so I'm wondering if it still exists even...
Good your heart is in the right place. Rock has a command grab too but its the combo monkey kind like yun or fei long so its not as pure of a grab!!!!!!!
Loving how Rev Blow looks in these matches especially compared it's annoying older brother Drive Impact. Can only do it when in SPG and it doesn't lead into a full combo, so you're not scared to play neutral. Dropping SF6 for CoTW as soon as it drops.
WANNA PLAY SOME ... FATAL FURY? SNK showing strong. I hope this game is as fire as it looks. It would be great to encourage SNK bless us like its the 90s again
as a person who when he saw that people who said they're better in fact don't got it started a design career, i can confirm more fake martial arts is all we know and love
Really curious how the game will play out when it goes live. Armor seems crazy when you don't even take grey life or chip from moves you armor through and with a way to completely get out of Overheat I wonder if it'll be as common to see as Burnout or if it will be less of a factor.
Either way my GOD it is nice seeing a grappler with some fucking sauce. I don't pay much attention to SNO and I know KOF15 has some really good grapplers but man its been sad seeing the archetype largely suffer for almost a decade now.
Stuff like the gear attack with the armour is tied to a very specific portion of the health where your SPG is, so I think its ok for it to be a little strong cause its simply not always available to you. Its something the enemy can take away. As for hidden gear removing overheat, I feel thats eventually where the meta will go, but even that is also tied to the SPG, you cant do it at all if you are not in that part of your health.
The game looks cool. Will keep my eyes on it. I am a bit worried about all the mechanics and meters in the game, though. It seems like this is going to be a tough game to play due to all the information you have to keep track of. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Is it just me or this game looks gorgeous?
its kof15 done right, very very pretty imo

game is fantastic example on how a dedicated artstyle can make everything pop

A lot of your SF6 skills will directly transfer over to City of the wolves so its a good followup.

Yessss the post-round special taunts are still a thing, fantastic.
But they are useless,isn't it?
I'm so glad taunting after K.O. returned!
Also Just Defense on a grappler is looking SCARY 😱 No wonder they don't allow Tizoc to run.
Why I already like Preecha:
1 - She's the apprentice of Hurricane Joe;
2 - She wears glasses and (for now);
3 - She has multicolored hair.

Joe is about just go ham he clearly ginna be in the game so he might be more crazy with garou mechanic
Seen these around already, but your analysis and commentary makes them just better!
I got the footage a bit ago but was traveling so couldnt use it right away!
Nice to see SNK supplying some stuff to you after not getting to play the first time. Hopefully you get a sit down with them at Evo this year
"Go out, and play some fatal fury"
Well... as soon as it is realeased, I definitely will 🙋
Mark of the wolves is fantastic to get into! Has all the same mechanics outside the rev system

well for some that is the selling point I guess. Many recent games have gone more light on the mechanics, this game is doubling down.
That's SNK in a nutshell - stuff the game full of as many mechanics as possible and hope that something sticks and becomes popular.
