CX staff member Dark Chaotix lays out over four minutes of much-needed King of Fighters XII combo system exploration. Despite the game being available since July, we’ve seen shockingly few quality combo videos dedicated to it.
The King of Fighters XII – Mini CMV: Sekka Edition
Even not knowing much about the game, those Andy combos starting at 2:27 look incredibly stylish! The Mature segment at 1:16 followed by the Kim segment at 1:47 were both awesome as well, and even Benimaru got fresh towards the end. Clearly the game’s Critical Counter system provides ample opportunities for creative, flashy combos and it’s nice to get a real glimpse of what’s possible within the engine.
The editing is nice and clean too, although the pace does seem somewhat slow at times. Still, it was pretty sweet how Elisabeth’s stance animation led into her CC starter at 0:45.
I do agree about the pacing of the video. Some “dead space” is fine, but the three seconds before and after each combo really started to drag as the video went on. I do like how the author did the credits in the top bar as the movie played. But it seemed to lack the usual “style” of Cyberfanatix videos with the heavy SFX use and overlays. It was entertaining to watch regardless, and the quality was certainly theirs.
First KOF12 combo (or kof in general) i’ve seen.I did undertands anything except the shoryuken Adny bogard does, but it looked great.Nice vid.
didn’t* and Andy*.Sorry for stupid typos.
It was slow, but not boring. KOFXII is easy on the eyes anyway, so it didn’t bother me at all.
I agree on the stance thing, that was cool. And Ash was just looking around like: “So when’s this combo gonna start?”
