KOF XIV General Discussion - King of Fighters XIV Arcade Ver. Burn 2 Fight cabinets from Taito!

There are a lot of characters from the leak that I do look forward to playing as, considering how well the individuals in charge of the project at SNKP arrange their move sets and game play consensus.

EDIT: At some point later, I will create a small FAQS guide for individuals who intend on playing KOFXIV on an active basis, effectively encouraging them to play the game at the best of their ability while having fun with the said game.

I guess this dream match setup means ash could come back then. Also I’m a literal confused as to why nakoruru was chosen and not haohmaru since he is the face of the samurai showdown series.

Because Nakoruru is a more popular character.

I really hope this game has a decent netcode.

Since when is nakoruru more popular.

Since forever. There is a reason she periodically makes appearances in crossovers, such as CVS1 and CVS2 for example.
And, to be fair, Haohmaru was also present in the latter game.

nakoruru is pretty much one of SNK’s mascots man,keep up

I feel like I’m being trolled. I knew she was popular but never knew she was that popular. I thought for sure that haohmaru would have been mascot status.

It’s like KoF, Kyo is very clearly the main character and is fairly popular, but pretty much no matter where you go Terry is way more popular.

I always thought it was so weird how they always made it ryu vs kyo in crossovers when clearly it would make more sense to have it be terry that represents SNK. I was so dissapointed when ryu and terry had no interaction in CVS2. It’s like if we had SF vs MK and they had Johnny cage as the MK mascot and not scorpion.

Anwyays this new info is quite interesting because of the possibilities it opens. Now assuming we are heading into another saga this could mean that any number of characters can appear. This would include the maxim impact characters and maybe even characters outside the company. What if SNK was allowed to borrow SF characters for a SF team.

Nakoruru is like the OG fighting game moe waifu. Haoh has nothing on her.

That’s also kind of ridiculous. It’s not so much that Kyo was representative of all of SNK, but rather Ryu and Kyo are clearly parallel characters, just like Terry and Ken are clearly parallel characters.

Terry has always been my favorite SNK character, but he plays such a minimal role in the KOF series story wise, it’s sad. It’s clear that Kyo is the face of the franchise.

I’m really interesting in seeing this final boss now…

Man that means they can have any char for dlc , or even any character in general while keeping it cannon. Smart move snk

It’s funny, for several years, I thought Terry was the main character of KOF. To be specific, from CvS1, where I first found out about SNK fighters, until 13, I thought Terry was the main character. Even though all the promo stuff for CvS1 had Ryu vs. Kyo, I still thought that Terry was the main character.

How did that happen?

*To be honest I always thought that Iori and Terry (in the us at least) was more popular than Kyo. *

Just give me the American sports teams and I’ll give snk my life’s savings

They are, but popularity doesn’t always make you the face of the franchise.
