Day one for me. I just hope the netcoding isn't shit like all SNK games.
My favorite is Yagami I think. Whoever is the flame wielding dude with the suave white coat.
FINALLYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
>>334940728
I can only pray that SNK doesn't have Capcom-standards when it comes to ports. It'd be tight as shit, even if they went 3-D on the characters.
>>334940890
One letter off: Kagami. Dude's dope as fuck, but I could never get used to him.
Oh thank fuck they actually kept the orchestral score.
>>334940645
Watch them fuck it up and US gets the censored version with white blood and no deaths.
>>334940645
>people actually want to play this pile of shit again
Have you fags never played somebody who actually knows what they are doing or do you just hate fun?
>>334941169
What else would they use? I guess they could used the Arrangement CD, but I don't know if that had everything on it.
>>334941225
Considering it's one of my favorite fighting games ever, I wouldn't even be mad. Literally never thought this game would ever come back in any aspect.I also hate watching my character get split in half.;-;
>>334941225
Nah, they wouldn't pull that today. Bwck in the day it was a Dreamcast exclusive that idiot reviewers didn't understand so nobody cared.
>>334941380
>What else would they use?
The MIDI bullshit from the arcade cartridge.
You know, like the Wii version. Fuck's sake.
Well, this came out of nowhere.
>>334941679
They announced it last year.
>>334941357
True it does fall apart at the highest level play. 60% health combos are all you see and it really spoils the footsie orientated nature of the game. Samsho is better in the end, but Last Blade is superior when it comes to style.
>>334940645
The Dreamcast version was the biggest heartbreaker I experienced on the console.
Not only was it censored, it had to fucking load EACH VOICE SAMPLE DURING BATTLE. I stopped playing it after awhile as I was afraid it would kill my second Dreamcast.
Always wanted LB3, but Playmore would just fuck it up like they totally ruined Samurai Shodown.
>>334941943
>60% health
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX2F7SS420Q
So you haven't played anybody at high level then.
>>334942075
Eh in all the tournament footage I've seen I've never seen someone do an infinite but it is probably because they soft ban some of the more bullshit character if I remember correctly.
>>334941679
There was actually a poll on the U.S. Playstation Blog held by SNK in December 2014 asking what games people wanted them to port.
There was some really obscure stuff there. Metal Slug 3 won, which as you know has already been released for Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita. The Last Blade 2 was the runner-up, followed by Garou: Mark of the Wolves, just barely edging out Samurai Showdown IV.
>>334942182
No, they ban the infinites outright. Have fun doing that online. This port has literally no reason to exist. It's on fightcade. And there are plenty of 100% combos that aren't infinites. This game is just fucking garbage.
>>334941953
Oh god, the Dreamcast's faulty laserhead and its bullshit GD-ROMs...
am i the only one who feels embarrassed when everyone starts talking competitvely and you only play fighting games for the single player

Can't fucking remember
Lee is for faggots.PC when?
>>334942319
People without PCs or old, obscure consoles finally get to play it.
Also, like Street Fighter 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360, it will probably recieve new balance patches and be the most balanced version of the game.
>>334942463
World Tour mode in Alpha 3 was the most fun I had in a fighter.
>>334942741
Also, since it's coming to Vita, you can finally play it on the go.
>>334942741
3rd strike didn't get balance patches, it got a shitty netcode update that is still worse than fightcade's free version. To top it off, the port has tons of fucking errors AND input delay. You can run fightcade on a Pentium 4. You can literally grab a PC out of the dumpster and run fightcade.
I never understood the appeal of LB2. Bland as fuck game.
>>334940645
Amazing game, one of the best sprite works in history imo. We need 3 asap.

Of all the complaints you could give for the game how the fuck could you say it is bland? The music, sprite, and background designs for the game are some of the best in a traditional 2D fighter. In the middle of shit tons of generic random locale fighting games with electronic music you have one that really pushed its setting and atmosphere. LB2 has some of the most beautiful stages out there and the character designs are great.
Mechanically though there's nothing it does better than Samsho.
>>334941093
there's been rumors for a new Last Blade project, theme might be a present-future thus the return of Samurai rekindles again.
>>334943607
Yes, I was talking about gameplay. Atmosphere is great, but the gameplay has nothing going for it.
>>334944027
In that case yeah, but imo the gameplay is great until you figure out the combo system. Then it suffers from the same shit Alpha 3 and many other fighting games at the time did.
>>334942962
All this bullshitting. And PC gamers wonder why people hate them.
>>334944163
>I don't play competitively, let me be retarded online
Go take any character see how much meter gain they get and compare it to the arcade version. The retards at Iron Galaxy fucked the aspect ratio which actually results in differences in meter gain because the retards at Capcom made it percentage based.
>>334944335
>the retards at Capcom made it percentage based.
And you faggots defend this shit.
>>334946120
>defending
I called them retards, how is that defending them?
>>334946120
>>334944335
I don't get it.
How would aspect ratio change anything if it's percentage based?
>>334946262
Because of how long the bars are on the screen.

>Lee Rekka

>The flaming Ninja Scroll one
>Violent Emotion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yWlVz8z1hU
>>334946384
But why would length matter if it's percentage based?
>>334946630
Because the decimals round up or down depending. The meter gain is percentage based but the bar itself is a whole number.
Remember that if you buy this game, SNK will notice and in the future could have a sequel, thanks to chinese overlords.
I just pass to drop this Kaori art.
>>334942591
>Lee is for faggots
Look dude. He's Jet Li in Once Upon a Time in China. He has the No-Shadow Kick as a special. It doesn't even cost meter! What do you fucking want from me?
>>334947873
Look here, you nigger.
His name is Wong Fei Hung and he is mai waifu.
I will NOT have you disrespecting him.
Do you understand me?
>>334949005
No disrespect, he's who I play. I'm saying that dude is nuts for thinking Lee is for faggots when he's clearly the best choice
good for those who like this game.
however.Garou FUCKIN WHEN
>>334950106
Still my all time favorite fighter. I was so depressed at how shit the netcoding was for the xbla version
>>334950106
B U T T
>>334950106
Garou already got a port. What is up with you faggots wanting shitty games ported?
>>334950851
ported to the wrong console.
would be better than the 1000000th port of Metal slug 3 we got.
Looks cool, I had this on the Dreamcast and I hope this version is uncensored or I probably won't buy it.
