2.5D plane edit

I would like to address the fact that this game looks more like a 2.5D fighter than a 3D like Maximum Impact. If you notice in the screenshot in this link where Kyo does his anti-air and Iori does his fireball, the fighters are somewhat locked to a 2D plane.

The requirements for a 3D fighter is to have sidestepping. As of right now, there is no sidestepping mechanic, therefore it is best to address this as a 2.5D fighter. UltraDark:) 2 CHAT 01:31, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

As Terry would say "Okay!" Remember to add the source while adding the content. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 16:02, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

SNK edit

For some reason the new trailers from today no longer call the makers "SNK Playmore" and just "SNK." Should we change it?Tintor2 (talk) 14:40, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes, SNK just made an announcement today (https://twitter.com/SNKPofficial/status/724536345561952256) that effective immediately they're reverting to their old name, logo, and slogan ("The Future Is Now"). SNK's Web sites have all been updated accordingly.--Aderack (talk) 16:31, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
The Twitter account doesn't say that they've changed their name, only their logo and slogan. The name remains SNK Playmore on the website and trailers. Therefore I am reverting the change until more substantial information is released.--Darkhunger (talk) 23:13, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Websites have already gotten the news up and running. Here's various sources as proof. Polygon, Gamasutra, Develop, GameSpot, USGamer, Shoryuken UltraDark:) 2 CHAT 13:51, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cover edit

Amazon.com already has a better version of the game's cover (the Atlus USA though) but I can't even show it here since Wikipedia warned me not to use it as it was blacklist. Any ideas?Tintor2 (talk) 20:38, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

copyedit edit

Hello, Tintor2 and other editors. I did a quick copyedit of the article. I really only found little tweaks in the grammar and phrasing. Here are a couple notes:

  • "The team received negative feedback to early trailers of the game were working on it to please the fans." - I'm not sure about the meaning in the second half of that sentence. Is it something like the team redoubled their efforts to win back the fans. I don't want to misrepresent the source.
  • The Demos and release section might benefit from a little more clarification. Is the fourth sentence of the first paragraph referring to the demo or the release version?

I'll keep the page on my watchlist for a couple weeks, and welcome any questions or comments. - Reidgreg (talk) 23:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the copyedit. Tried to clean up those two points you mentioned.Tintor2 (talk) 23:28, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Three citations using "Archived copy" as a title edit

Three citations are using "Archived copy" as a title. Those should be fixed before a GA nomination. I have done some other minor cleanup. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:42, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Jonesey95: Thanks. Looks like it was a poorly formatted tweet reference among others. Did I miss one? I think we could use the main website to source the entire characters' section, right?Tintor2 (talk) 20:24, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Uh oh, that is considerably worse. Look in the references section for the big red error messages caused by references that you removed, and do a find for "archived copy". I see two left. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:53, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Jonesey95: Restored the missing references and changed those titles you mentioned. Also I did some clean up on the dates to make them consistent.Tintor2 (talk) 22:38, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Much better. Nice work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:42, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
