Description
A project on my birthday? Yeah, that should tell you how my birthdays usually go. Oh well, at least it's party themed.
This sketch was originally a simple outline for a collaboration project with ~KOFLove . The full project can be seen here: [link]
I dunno, I was bored (again), and decided to color it myself. I spent so much time focusing on Yuri (again), that I chose to make her coloring a separate deviation.
Believe it or not, I actually spent more time deciding on a suitable background than actually coloring her (again). :\
If you followed the link, it should explain the cake and the hat. :3
Happy Birthday me!... Oh, and ~namesRUNdry too.

yeah
Yuri generally is funny that's why I like this character
and in this one she looks cute
(but Robert Garcia and her have really opposite personalities)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, she had so much charisma back in the earlier KOFs. Don't know why SNK is going out of their way to take that away in the newer ones. :/
But yeah, they are different. Just remember that opposites attract. ; )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
too bad :/
I think this character is really interesting
and a lot of girls can understand her situation,she's the most feminist girl on Kof I think ,"liberated Woman"y'know
we can see that she overcome obstacles (past story)...that make her really strong and charismatic I guess
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope you're not referring to how she acts in XIII. They completely ruined her personality in that game. It was always either Mai or King that were the feminist types, never her. Before she was just a girl whose family couldn't accept the fact she is all grown up and was eager to prove it to them by joining the tournament on her own. That, by no means, translates to a feminist.
Sorry for the rant. It's just so aggravating to see a character you once held very dear to be degraded in such inconceivable ways. I really was a huge KOF fan before, but now I feel it's a sin of sorts. -_-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but yeah she's feminist type
more than Mai or King even in XIII
you're right they ruin her personality a bit
but she doesn't accept the fact that her brother and father reject her just because of her gender
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The NEW Yuri is, but not the one I know. To me, that is not Yuri Sakazaki you see in XIII, it's just some short, loud, feminist doppelganger of her. The Yuri I grew up with was the one in KOF 95', KOF 2003, and CVS - Y'know, the one I draw all the time.
They overprotect her because to them she is still the defenseless little girl that she was in the first Art of Fighting. It's not because they don't accept her, because Ryo and Takuma care for her very much. All Yuri wants from them is a little more trust.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you
but she's young you know XD (of course like other Kof girls XD)
Takuma caring of her all the time
but she prove that she's strong as well
and despite her brother and father's view ,she's a bit feminist even on the first kof with other guys and all 
but yeah she loves her brother and her father so much and she respect them
Robert is her childhood best friend and she love him as well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't hate feminists, just saying Yuri was never one to begin with. In the early KOFs, all she talks about is her gaining independence from her family. Of course, being in a all women's team will undeniably lead to gloating about the dual X chromosome every now and then. Yet still, Mai & King overdid it more so than Yuri ever did.
Yes, I admire the relationship in all of them. Just wish they would flesh them out more and stop making them look like a dysfunctional family...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're right
she have also a really familiar relation with her brother
that's why I thought it was a couple at first sight XD
he really love her little sister too
but I'm pretty sure that she hates misogynist type
anyways,keep up the good work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Ryo raised Yuri all by himself since Takuma disappeared for a number of years. Of course they'd be that close.
I think every woman would hate misogynists, don't ya' think? : P
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes
he's really caring big bro
you will find it strange ,but some women like "Macho men" and it's not joke XDDD
and Yuri really hate Misogynist type
me too
I really hate guys like this XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's a taste for everything when it comes to romances, so I'm not one bit surprised women would like manly men. In fact, it's one of the more milder tastes. XD
But it's like I said, no woman would like a woman-hater. Just like no man would like a man-hater. : P
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes but I really don't like some guys and their old mentality
girls defend themselves against misogyny
that's not mean they hate guys you know
and being manly it's not being misogynistic at all
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think we should stop the conversation here. The battle of the sexes knows no end. XD
As a final statement, a true gentleman respects women who respect themselves. : P

a braidless yuri too boot oh well gotta keep with the sigh new look
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, don't worry. According to some screenshots, she will have some palettes with her long hair back. I've only seen one, but hey, at least it's back.
Overall, I think she's shaping up quite nicely in KOF XIII. The thing though, I don't like her new "dive kick" attack. She makes annoying high pitched noises like Athena with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Here ya' go: [link]
I wouldn't be surprised if King has a palette where she's in her underwear too...

Very cute and the pose is perfect. ^^ Also happy belated birthday ;3

I see Yuri has a new tattoo.
Cool how you were able to utilize the circles in the background. Reminds me of the tablecloths in an Italina restaurant.
Just remind Yuri that the calories may be a lie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup. It's fitting, don't ya' think?
Yeah, someone else took notice of that. Said it looks like she might be in a pizza parlor or something.
A very tasty lie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Heh, glad ya' like it! Thanks!

Heh, I said this when I commented on that full project and I'll say it again... You can always draw Yuri perfectly 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, thanks!
It's her design more than anything that I'm fond of. I haven't been using her as much in games lately. :\
Ha, that's exactly what I thought when I stepped back and took a good look at the finished project. But I couldn't make up my mind on the background color. I literally spent a good hour deciding...
Oh well, so what if it looks like a pizza parlor? I'm sure Yuri would be the kind of girl to hang around one. Especially if it has a SF' III machine in it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome, dude
Heh, I wish I could see how you play as her though, it's too bad that the time zone differences prevent us from having matches at a time that's good for both of us 
It really does look like a pizza parlor, and that's a great thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, wish I could play some rounds with you too. I did upload some CVS2 matches with me and my bro on Youtube though, back when we first got a hold of the game. So if anything, you could see me use Yuri there: [link]
It's not a fair match though; I was going easy on him, even with the handicap.
There has to be a pizza parlor somewhere in Southtown, I'm sure.
Yeah, I had a bunch of brain farts going on. But I'm still proud of the results nonetheless.
Cake with pizza... I can see why.
What I hate is that arcades nowadays are using casual games rather than good games. My local pizza parlor once had Metal Slug 1-3, KOF 95', Shock Troopers, SF' Vs. X-Men, The Simpsons, and Wangan Midnight. Now it's crane games and other ticket games.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmmmmm, well, despite "not being a fair match", you still play very well
Heh, cake with pizza, I've never had something like that
Your local pizza parlor had all those arcade games?! Man, that's just... You're very lucky D:. The best arcade game I've seen irl was Ms. Pac-Man, and they even took that away... But it's true that arcades are going more casual nowadays, I guess that they really are dying at the moment. I'm sick of seeing DDR everywhere...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I try. ^_^;
For whatever reason, fighters come very natural to me. Even if I have never played a game in a series, I always adapt quite quickly. This was the case for CVS2.
I was so thrilled Capcom decided to use Yuri's original AOF2 incarnation in the game. Once I found that out, "Oh yeah, it's time to bitch slap some bitches".
It sounds like a good combination. But how about pizza flavored cake? Or cake flavored pizza?
Well, like I said, we had them. The ex-manager was an arcade player himself, so he knew which games sold like hot cakes. Once he left, the games changed for the worse.
Hey, DDR is awesome!
Okay, I suck at it, but it's still fun watching other people go at it in the highest difficulty.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, it's good that the developers keep their charas' fighting style pretty same in the sequels, I'm always good at playing Terry in just about any game he's in. I wonder how shocked Kyo players must have been though when SNK changed his moveset in '96.
Haha, well, that's what Yuri is best at
Hmmmm, then you would have to choose a new set of flavors for the pizza/ cake. How would a tuna-pepperoni-pizza-cake sound like? Or strawberry-cream-cake-pizza
Well, DDR is okay, but I never play it because the last time I did, I got embarrassed by the loud music that the machine was shouting
Yeah, though I haven't seen any people playing DDR who are actually good at it. Maybe it's because there isn't a real "arcade culture" in Finland. It sucks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's always good, as long as it's for the better. Good ol' Terry hasn't changed much since the Fatal Fury games. He defines the word "classic" in KOF. No matter what game he is in, you'll know how to use him.
I've never been a big user on Kyo, so I couldn't say...
That's something Capcom does over SNK, they know what the fans want and they deliver. Capcom knew Yuri was good from the start, so they did just that. SNK noticed, since they too changed her moveset back after CVS2 was released in KOF 2002. After that, she has since kept her classic moveset.
I want Capcom to do one more CVS just so they can get SNK back in line. At this point, SNK needs all the guidance they can get.
Yummy.
Haha, yeah, I know the feeling. Though mine was less embarrassing cause my ex sucked even more at it. So I kinda looked better in comparison.
Over here, people are crazy good at that game. Seriously, their feet move like something out of Looney Toons.
That sucks dude. But I think the "Arcade Culture" is dead in general.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, though I have to say as an "experienced" Terry player, I wish they would bring his basic combos from game to game too. It is annoying when old combos don't work in new games at all...
Yes, Capcom knows how to treat their fans, and in my opinion, SNK should learn from that. Maybe they could even be on top of the Fighting game genre again someday...
Yes, they should be making a new CVS so that they could put SNK on their place
Heh, that's good for you then
Man, I think I've seen them in Youtube D:. I never knew such things could exist...
Yup, arcades are dead 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but that's because every game has a new system of gameplay and fluidity. Personally, I think fighting games that don't focus too much on combos are better. The early KOFs for example.
But games like MVC2 and 2002 UM, in which are ridiculously easy to juggle, just ruin it for me.
Games like those gotta have some sort of "Combo Breaker" in order to make it enjoyable.
Heh, maybe...
Yeah, but they recovered from that. SNK's biggest wound right now was from XII. If XIII doesn't deliver, they could possibly bleed out...
Well, online play makes up for those sociable arcade rooms. You can still talk to people and play. But the catch is that lag might show up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You like games that don't focus too much on combos, eh? Have you ever played Samurai Shodown games then? Those games barely have any real combos, it is all about timing your attacks carefully and waiting for opportunity
Actually, they do. Or at least the newer games in the versus series like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom have a "combo breaker". Guilty Gear is also one of those combo-heavy-games, and it has a combo breaker in it too.
Yeah, XII was a disappointment after the amazing XI. On top of that, Samurai Shodown Sen was a complete disaster... They better get it right with XIII now.
Yeah, but online play doesn't feel right to me. I always prefer playing with the person in the same room, that's why I'm not really into online games. And the lag is always a pain, you can't believe how bad it is when me and my girlfriend play Tatsunoko
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I've played them somewhat. The gameplay in them is very different than most fighters. But in the end, I've always preferred hand to hand fighting. No weapons, just fists.
It probably never spawned tournaments because it never became that popular. A game has to have an audience in order to start competitions. Even games that are broken tier-wise like MVC, 02' UM, and SF' III.
It's not that I don't like combos, I just don't like games were it's very easy to pull off combos and don't have a combo breaker. XI had a nice balance to that. Combos are tricky to pull off, but the opponent had a chance to "Safe shift" if he had enough points for it.
Ah, speaking of XI... Dammit, I wish it wasn't a PS2 exclusive. They should bring that to XBLA rather than that overrated 02' UM.
I hope SNK doesn't forget 03' & XI. Maybe for the next KOFs they could implement an optional "Tag Team" game mode, a la Battle Coliseum. There would be single match, team match, then tag match... I dunno, sounds like a grand idea to me.
Hmm, well we all adapt differently. Besides the lag, it's still very cool to play anyone in the world. It's like always having someone over.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You've got a point there, I usually prefer hand-to-hand fighting over weapons, but Samurai Shodown is a rare exception. Maybe it's the fact that it is a 2D fighter though :b
Yeah, but I think Samurai Shodown II was very popular at some point. Still, SNK's games started to lose popularity in US after 1995...
Oh yeah, easy combos don't feel really rewarding at all. All you have to do in games like MVC is just press light-medium-strong and then throw in a couple of special moves... But KOF XI really got the combos right, and I always love to find new ways to link and cancel moves in that game. Heck, sometimes I play the game just to be in practise mode for half an hour...
Heh, you really need to get that game somehow
That sounds like an awesome idea, and now that I think about it, SNK should have started to do that from XII and onward without any questions. I will be missing the tag-team-option a lot, and it is a shame that they had to take the new main innovation out in the middle of the whole Ash saga...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Can't beat a fair game of fisticuffs.
Another game I was into for awhile that used weapons was Last Blade. I can't find those games anywhere though nowadays...
Yeah that's true, SNK's glory days are all well behind them. But who knows? They might just climb back up.
That's the main reason MVC never caught on to me. It's too user friendly.
Heh, I love how XI redefined cancels and even introduced Dream Cancels, which were a bitch to pull off.
Yeah I do.
Like I said, I feel like simply getting a PS2 JUST so I can play XI. I miss it that bad.
2002 UM does have a few good things going for it. It has good music, nice artwork, and decent backgrounds. But that's all presentation. The characters and gameplay are all pretty messed up. And for me, the gameplay is the most important factor in any game. :\
Really, I don't see why not introduce that idea. SNK really needs to pay attention to their fans, because I'm sure a lot of people miss NGBC. And introducing a tag system shouldn't be too hard to program.
I know, they're completely forgetting some of the things that made 03' & XI so great: The gameplay. Not just that, even the small things such as character modifications. The AOF team, for example. Am I the only one who likes the team being composed of Ryo, Yuri, and King for a change? Robert looks more unique in his 03' outfit, Ryo and Yuri's acting are superb in those games compared to XIII, and even King handles better then she ever has IMO.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Last Blade? Man, I've always wanted to try that one out, but all of its versions are hard and complicated to track down and buy for a good price. I don't own either Japanese PS2 or a Dreamcast, and the AES version can go up to 200 dollars...
Well, let's hope so. I think SNK shouldn't rely too much on KOF and it should revive one of its older series like AOF or Fatal Fury.
Man, you need to get that game
Heh, pretty from the outside, bad from the inside? The gameplay doesn't look very good for a KOF though, and I can't understand why they included some overpowered charas in it. Nightmare Geese is cool, but he looks way too broken...
Yes, SNK needs to listen to fans like Capcom does. Before they put in the tag team system, they need to make sure that there won't be too many infinites/ broken combos in it though.
Ah, yes, small things like that really are what makes a good fighting game even better and memorable... The AOF team in XI was pretty cool, but I still have to say I like the original '94 team more 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Psh, tell me about it. The only probable way to play them without a hassle is to emulate them. And me myself don't like doing that. :\
Of course you know I'd like for them make an AOF 4. But they should really make a game where Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting meet, and just them. That way they could continue the story they share.
Like I said, I don't use combos often. I much rather doing quick pokes during the match and squeeze in a super every once in awhile.
Hmm, we'll see what happens. Something has to hold me over till' XIII.
Yup, pretty much. To quote the nerd, "It's like a piece of dogshit covered in sprinkles and topped with a cherry".... Okay, maybe not that disturbing.
Yeah, SNK has always had a bad debug crew. They should really focus on cleaning their games, cause XIII has a few infinites in it already. I know they're having fun with the color palettes, but c'mon SNK, we haven't had a completely clean KOF since 98'.
Heh, I thought the XI AOF team was a nice change. Though I wanna see a team composed of Takuma, Yuri, and Robert. Imagine the drama in that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I'm not into emulation either. It just isn't comfortable for me, and I feel like I'm betraying SNK if I would do it since they went bankrupt because people were emulating their games so much.
Heh, wasn't KOF originally supposed to be something like that? A beat'em up that combined both series... It would be really interesting to see a fighting game like that though. All the AOF characters would be pretty old in it if they kept using the same timeline, but that would make it even more awesome
So you like to poke, eh? I usually just try to evade attacks and find a good opportunity to start a combo chain, and even cancel it into a super that way (if I know the character's combos and cancels well enough).
Whoa, they haven't had a clean KOF since '98? I've never read about these infinites or tiers very much, but now that I think about it, that does make sense. The Striker system was broken, Tag-Team added more infinites... And some characters in XII didn't have many special moves :/ SNK better get this stuff tested more properly.

Still nicely colored, baby.
Is this a gift to yourself?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought I was your gift...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, and I cherish you with all my heart.
My dad gave me sneakers, ma' gave me $30, uncle $40, and I did a project for me.
C'mon, you gotta admit she looks good. I went further with coloring techniques in Gimp this time. Notice the shading and some highlights.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm glad you still got great things out of your birthday, sweetie. I really hope you enjoyed it to the fullest from the start.
Baby, I never said she looked bad or anything.
You always do wonderful work, you know that.
I love how much attention you give a project when working on them, I really do.
I'd love to watch you continue exploring with it just like we'll continue exploring things together.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it was good overall.
I'm sorry. Guess I got the wrong impression with the short comment.
Yeah, if you can see yourself improving, then that's a really good sign. I've never colored this good in Gimp before. You can see why I took my time with her here.
