King of Fighters XII Rules Street Fighter 4
Either Capcom has terrible timing, or SNK has been waiting evilly for Capcom to release some SF4 videos to immediately follow-up with the above trailer for King of Fighters 12. Yes, KoF is still fully 2-D, but the animation is gorgeous–watch the trailer and see for yourself. It looks much more impressive than SF4‘s 3-D graphics, that’s for sure. Of course, KoF has the problem of having zero memorable characters other than Mai Shiranui, who is 1) only memorable for her large breasts, and 2) doesn’t appear in this trailer anyways.
