If stagnancy were a disability, snk would get a full pension.

So many kof titles, so little innovation. SNK are "supposed" to be the enternal rivals of Capcom......yet their main series isn't AT ALL improving beyond what 2000 has set up. You get tons of characters (who you dont give a damn about) with ridiculous moves that get altered every game that comes out.

Im not one for graphics but is it really THAT HARD to update the damn look of the game!? Hell even capcom tries to make new sprites (even though people complain about the spinoffs where capcom reuses sprites where as the main games get actual updates.) SNK does nothing to improve them. The out dated look is getting old.......and thats an understatement.

The gameplay is exactly the same as before. Guess your character's moves and you don't even need luck untill the last boss. Then you need only god to get you through the trenches. The fighting system is tiring. After 15 games it hasn't really changed besides how you call your stupid team mates.

The modes are not fun, the characters are pathetic, and this game reeks of stagnancy like no other title out there. So guess what im gonna give this crap?
