King of Fighters Online Gameplay Video

And the Best Press release Ever

by Veggie Jackson

A new trailer for King of Fighters Online was released today, along with a press release that may be the most entertaining piece of “Engrish” since Zero Wing.  For those who were unaware that King of Fighters Online was a thing, it’s a PC-only 3D RPG with real-time combat, based on the King of Fighters universe and presented by Korean publisher, Dragonfly.  Check out the video below.



There are a few cool opening cinematic scenes, along with some decent looking character models here, and it’s nice to see Mai getting some respect after being left out of King of Fighters XII, but I’m not sure the gameplay looks interesting enough to be worth bothering with.  The fact that they only showed two or three enemy types doesn’t help, but it’s more than that; something about it just doesn’t look fun.  Perhaps the PvP play, which is also shown in the video, can rescue it from the “meh” pile. 

Infinitely more awesome than the video, however, is the press release, which is below.  To try to comment on the insanely bad English translation would only serve to diminish its greatness, so just go ahead and read it.  If you dare.

    Seems disorienting to keep switching perspectives like that.
