The King of Fighters XII trailer was unveiled today at the AOU conference in Japan and the fighting game world was officially turned upside-down. As soon as the first Street Fighter 4 images were released the first thing out of the gaming communities collective mouth was, “3D?” Many were baffled by Capcom’s choice to opt for polygons instead of the traditional sprites. Were they not interested? Did they not think they could acheive their vision for SF4 with sprites? Well, whatever it was, SNK taught us today that sprites are still alive and well, whether or not Capcom was ready to move forward!
So after gazing at this teaser and absorbing the Street Fighter 4 match vids from my previous post, which looks better to you?
