This process is extremely simple now, even you could do it. Simply take a 3D model into blender, unreal or unity, edit the shading to fit KOF style and then export all the frames of the 3D model as a spritesheet. Would only take a week or so realistically speaking. There are tutorials on youtube and the process is super simple. Has come a VERY long way from what was available in 2009
The graphics are the best in the series, but not everyone has their best possible super in the game. Supers tend to change in KOF more than in other games.
Athena, Kula, Leona, Ralf, Clark, Claw Iori, Ryo, Mr. Karate, K', Maxima, Mai have the best NeoMax imo. I like the artstyle of KOF XIII It is unique, it looks like a mix of anime and cartoony. Mai, Yuri, King, Ryo, Kim, Kensou, Athena, Leona and Takuma look amazing! Mai and Takuma's new stances are much better than the originals. KOF XIII Kensou is best design for him Chibi Athena is overhated, I love her 😊
To be totally fair it's a very bland move if we take in account the history KOF ideas of supers. It's one of the worst new ideas. Same for regular Kyo Neomax. Too flashy and exaggerated, even breaking the power scale, probably just to save the devs from the trouble of making new detailed fire effects.
The last game where Athena had her Psycho Medley and Kula had her iconic Freeze Execution. I understand why SNK didn't want to bring back Psycho Medley, it would be too difficult to animate using 3D models. But I wonder why they removed Freeze Execution if they put it in KOF Maximum Impact 2/Regulation A and those games use 3D models 🤔
we didnt know what we had up until 2014 (circa). took it all for granted for so many years. never expected such a sharp overnight decline for the fighting game genre. who could have known??? it just kept getting better and better, year after year....and then 2015 came (R.I.P)
Not a good idea. Maybe evolving the sprites too much wasn't the best idea even by the time of SF3. Coincidence or not SF3 was the biggest failure of Capcom fg history, killing and burying the series for almost 10 years... And later Capcom made CvS using a new 2d art style that wasn't so elaborated as the SF3 style. And those games did better than SF3 in the end, not to mention SFA3 and MvC2, games that still used Capcom's mid 90s art style.
Won't happen... SNK won't mess with it ever again. And it's actually a good idea in order to have a competitive product. Probably even yourself played SF4 more than KOF 13 around the early 2010s. It's absolute success and domination rubbed on SNK's face in the hardest way that it was a mistake investing on ultra high quality sprites hoping to have an advantage in the PS3 gen against SF4, that was an ugly game since release. It was useless, the game was crushed.
Benimaru's Neo Max in KOF XIII: Nice Benimaru's CLIMAX in KOF XIV: Wait a minute, it is the same one but looks worse! Lame. Benimaru's CLIMAX in KOF XV: Safest lamest CLIMAX of the entire game 😒 Poor Beni. He really needs a new CLIMAX Super Pronto! Edit: Same thing with K'
Joe, K, Andy, Ryo, their recent Climax moves are still recycled from KOF 13. And in some cases like Joe, KOF 13 wasn't even the best idea of "strongest super" he ever had. So the fact this idea keeps being recycled makes the situation worse... To me he needs to use his HSDM from KOF 02.
I think KOF XIII's animation style is the best... Only for a few exceptions: Clark and Ralf look too muscular... Or athena they made her very Anime style. But there are many that look excellent!!! What to say about the Neo Max, they are fast, but they are very showy... For me the best KOF.
Your comment mixes up animation style, graphics style and art style. It starts looking like it's going to talk about something but it turns out to be about another thing.
Come back to visit the good old xiii every once in a while. The simplicity in the move, but you can feel the impact from every punch. Unlike 14 and 15 climaxs, unneccessary show off, which feels really stupid to me. Also the new character design is terible, they should have keep the hand-drawing portrait from xiii, those are masterpiece
Bem, sabendo do milagre que foi a própria existência desse jogo, dá para perdoar. Mas muitas ideias aqui realmente se resumem a explosões exageradas pouco criativas (provavelmente para economia de recursos) e que nem sequer têm a ver com o estilo de KOF. P.ex, o Kyo nunca teve um especial com fogo tão poderoso que enche toda a tela, no máximo isso era coisa de Mugen. Se for ver, tem alguns ocultos do KOF 02 e KOF 11 que a ideia é muito melhor.
Some ideas for the supers are also very boring. If you compare to "Lv 3" supers from older games like KOF 02 and KOF 11, some ideas are more creative and don't rely to exaggerated bombastic full screen effects.
I don't understand why in the damn they changed from the 2d Style of KOF to the 3d This looks 10x better that 14 (was terrible) and 15 (looks better but the art is a Big no)
Most of them look like cheap mugen particle explosions. The quality of the pixel art on bg and chars got ruined by the generic looking of the filtered spark effects.
The truth is that SNK made good special effects in the late 90s, which were great for the time and especially considering the NeoGeo limitations. Then they keep reusing the same effects for too long. But when the situation forced them to actually work on new things in the 2000s the consequences of their laziness started to show... KOF 11 new effects are not very good, KOF 12-13 effects are not a good for the time and a poor evolution from 11, and finally the current 3d games are showing shameful bad special effects too. All because the KOF devs started relying too much on recycling things and didn't invest in evolving their skills at special effects.
We will never see such well animated pants for Kim in other king of fighters 😔
In 02 it was good for that time at least
It took them 1 year to create and animate ONE CHARACTER in this game and it shows. This game is beautiful.

@Dizzy Ramlethal Testament Chip Anji Kliff Robo Ky Debatable. But not the graphics part.
Peak sprite animation. This is the equivalent of a Miyazaki film in videogame and sadly will be lost
The neo max start up sound is sooo cool.
This supermoves are better than kof 14&15❤
Not for every character
Yes true I was also thinking that
Better than 14 / 15 ❤❤
The sounds in this game are incredible. I just got this game in 2024 😄
I'm here ultimate is better than 14/15
Athena, Kula, Leona, Ralf, Clark, Claw Iori, Ryo, Mr. Karate, K', Maxima, Mai have the best NeoMax imo.

Mai and Takuma's new stances are much better than the originals.
KOF XIII Kensou is best design for him
Chibi Athena is overhated, I love her 😊
More like Based on the Original from the 80s Athena.
It's the mid 90s Capcom 2d art style basically, like SFA. KOF didn't have that look before.

Benimaru's CLIMAX in KOF XV: Safest lamest CLIMAX of the entire game 😒

So sick!
had to look this shit up because two quarter circles are really hard to input for a character who already has a DP input move
I miss the old special sprites where everyone has their Unique style and combos.
Not just some flashy fireballs or explosions.

The fast Rush Punch, a very old cliche by that time, could be either a HNK, Jojo or OP reference, just to mention 3 notable sources.
@@carlosaugusto9821 yeah but he has steam coming off him, like Luffy does in his gear 2

MOST OF NEO MAX MOVES GET YOU HALF OF YOU LIFE BAR; A FEW CAN GO 60-75%
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
That's because Neomax can be cancelled by SDM's and making 60-70% damage.

Way does this KOF better than the last one ?
Because it's 2d. Same for SF3 and 3d SFs.

Dude ur tripping SNK worked hard on this game.
And the sprites were hella expensive and it took a year to develop each character.

Deserves RBF, love the game.

Most of these super are "full screen explosions" or one big hit, pretty boring.
Many of them are disappointing, they look way better in 2D
Most of em deals same damage which is nonsense
Make senses for fair fighting game
I don't understand why in the damn they changed from the 2d Style of KOF to the 3d
This looks 10x better that 14 (was terrible) and 15 (looks better but the art is a Big no)

Because everything is turning to 3d. Started with MK, then SF later.
