Doodle - KOF XII Athena Asamiya (Patreon)

 You know? I was ready to talk sh*t about this game, but then I realized something: KOF XII is not a bad game. It's just an incomplete one. Back then, Fans (including myself) went crazy once they saw the trailer reveal of KOF XII with the beautiful new sprites and gameplay, and SNK, wanting to take advantage of the revival of the fighting game genre thanks to games such as Street Fighter IV and Blazblue, was so rushed to release the game that they didn't give the developers enough time to complete the game. The result? A bare bones game with next to no content, terrible internet conection,  enjoyed the graphics and the gameplay, but, I kid you not, after one hour I was already bored, and really dissapointed. I thought is was the game that would kill KOF and SNK for good (Thanks god, I was wrong). So yeah, that's pretty much my opinion and experience with KOF XII. Pretty short and simple, just like the game.

But, besides all what I mentioned before, there was one thing that really drove me crazy: Athena's design. As I said in my previous post, Athena wearing a school uniform was the laziest thing the designers could come up with. Why and idol, no, A 20 something years old idol should wear a school uniform?! She's a freaking pop idol! You could design something way better!!... *sigh* I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a teacher that I don't really find school uniforms something sexy, but I recall that even in my high school years, I never found them hot... oh well, This uniform looked exactly as her old "Psycho Soldiers" game design, so that's nice, I guess. But for me, no thanks.

^^ Hope you like it.
