Bionic Works

King of the Fighters 12 is out and it’s great to see these characters pumped up with hand drawn high res goodness. Although some moves are missing from the characters, it still has the SNK’s 4 button song and dance. Most of the character’s signature moves are there. You’ll notice Lori’s moves have been stripped to claw attacks. He seems really effective up close. There’s a guard breaker that I find useful during the match as well. The combo connectivity seems a little slower due to the animation frame rate. The combo rhythm is slower but you get use to it and you’re able to achieve some sick combos once you get started. Overall, the game is a keeper for any fighting fan.

It looks as though Mai might be a download-able character. People are whining about her not being in the roster. Lets keep those fingers crossed.

The command list is located in the pause menu in the 2 player versus mode. For some reason it’s not in the training mode which is strange.

The familar faces of SNK's flagship.
