This was the visual peak of the series. What went wrong?

Those visuals made them no money and they went bankrupt.
>XIII
>looking good
Only in stills, like you posted. In motion XIII looks like crap. Look at Kyo's super, they couldn't even animate it and just made the screen black to throw on on some pretty effects. Older games like 02 look much better since they actually had full animation.
it looked good at the time but cost them too much money so SNK pretty much died. Also resulted in gutted movesets so fuck that, just give me decent looking 3D. Samsho was a step in the right direction after the PS2 graphics in XIV, I'm sure XV will be alright
bloated system
small roster
I honestly like how 98 looks better
the system wasn't bloated desu
you can blame the expensive sprites for the small ass roster
They nearly went bankrupt from spending two games just to put out a game that had gimped versions of every character in it as well as a small roster by KOF standards just for the sake of good visuals. As nice as the game looks, I'd rather a KOF game where Terry has more than just 4 special moves. Just look at how small his movelist is compared to 02UM.
>Terry is still missing Power Dunk in XIV
98 has more _soul_
