The little Chinese girl from that one pachinko game. Am I spelling her name wrong?
The roster is looking fantastic and super interesting.
āAnother Worldā I guess theyāre alternate versions of the characters of other non-KOF compatible games, and how they would look in the KOF universe.
By the way, it just has strucked me, could it be that Leyou earned the rights over the SNK characters but not the ones from SNK PLAYMORE (2003-XIII)??
Could that be the reason why there are no characters of the Ash Sagaā¦? o___O
Discrepancies!!! Why is Tung wearing the wrong costume(colors are wrong) and why is it that everyoneās portraits appear to be drawn except Aliceās, which looks like a 3d render. This is looking kinda fishy. I am officially suspicious of this āleakā
How would you guys suggest someone fairly new to the series try to pick this game up? what is the stategy for guys who are veterans to the series wen they go about picking their team?
Of course not.
The roster was clearly decided long before the acquisition occurred.
Itās been officially confirmed, but right now some of the characters have unfinished art.
Plus it matches the original character list leak more or less perfectly. Weāve got a sleepy Chinese team kid, the new protagonist character Demon Boy who looks like he came out of that Chinese ripoff KOF game, some sort of boxer (handicapped or otherwise) on the south American team, GEESU, a woman whoās almost certainly Kimās Masterās Wife, etc. Iād say itās 99% likely this is legit.
Officially confirmed by who?
Iām not saying outright I donāt believe, Iām just saying if I was to see a reveal trailer and someoneās design was to differ from the āleakā, I wouldnāt be surprised. Iāve seen my fair share of false leaks and Iāve become a cynic.
I actually like what I see in matters of roster, my only nitpicks with this are:
1.- Lack of Ash Saga characters. They could have added some of Those from the Past, or the newly presented Ron Team, for exampleā¦ why to introduce too many completely new characters and discard these ones?
2.- Those weird āanother worldā characters. As well as the chibi anime girl from Official invitation. They donāt seem to fit in the game.
3.- King of Dinosaurs. They said Tizoc was going to be in and as I saw they turned him into a fucking dinosaur I was salty AF. However, if itās a heel thing like Big Bear/Raiden and Tizoc may return to his old persona sometimes, Iād be OK with this.
****4.- Kā fighting with his sunglasses on. ****I HATED that on KOF XIII, I didnāt want that to be back Ā¬Ā¬
5.- The new character designs/outfits. Benimaru, Iori, Ralf and Clark, Robertā¦ They mostly look bad in my opinion.
6.- Some Stone Age characters. I donāt like Mature and Vice, Chin, Chang, Choi, Leona, for example, theyāve become boring and repetitive. I wish they were not in the game. Characters like Silber, Gai, more āforgottenā guys from Garou and Fatal Fury, among others, I would prefer to see.
At least the new characters are looking cool, hope to see their fighting style soon.
Colors are wrong? I just see exactly the same colors he wears in his revealing trailer. White shirt, gold/green details.
I could be wrong but i think that this is not only legit but we are in front of art directorās character concepts. Itās a pitty we canāt see full body.
Iām really excited for this KOF. While graphics are not the best they could be, everything looks new and exciting but familiar at same time. I do like new designs. Even King that hasnāt change too much looks better than ever. Maybe the only ones that donāt convince me are Kyo and Iori. Oh well, no drama. I donāt care at all about them xDD
But is cool this mix they did with all classic characters that canāt miss any KOF, some long absent ones and many new faces.
I canāt wait to see next revealing trailer.
I would:
[list][] Exchange Alice for Blue Mary.
[] Put the true Griffon Mask Tizoc instead of King of Dinosaurs.
[] Remove Another World team.
[] Combine Official invitation team with China team, theyāre too many new characters.
[] Add Elizabeth Team (Shen, Liz and Duolon).
[] Drop Chang, Choi, Chin and Tung AT LEASTā¦
[] Remove Vice and Mature. Iori with Eiji and Billy Kane would be better.
[] Geese team would be Yamazaki, Oswald and Geese.
[] Create a better Kim team with him and two other FF guys, for example Hon Fu and Franco Bash.
[] The newcomers of Kim team look cool but Iād add Gai Tendo to them, and make it a Buriki One/Gai team.
[] Add Vanessa somewhere. Maybe along with Seth.
[] Add one or two more teams composed of surviving members of Those from the Past and/or Ronās Hizoku squad. Shion would have been terrific, to begin with.
[/list]
Those from the Past and the Hizoku are characters whose fighting style Iāve wanted to see for ages:
damn, still goin boring ass classic Ryo. I was hoping theyād do NGBC/Buriki One Mr. Karate Ryo. alternate costume?
Heās wearing blue in the trailer
Japan Team: Kyo - Benimaru - Goro
Fatal Fury Team: Terry - Andy - Joe
Art of Fighting Team: Ryo - Robert - Yuri
Kā Team: Kā - Maxima - Kula
Kim Team: Kim - Hon-Fu - Franco Bash
**Gai **Team: **Gai Tendo **- Kimās Master - Kimās Wife
Blanctorche Team: Elizabeth - Shen Woo - Duolon
Women Fighters Team: Mai - King - Blue Mary
Ikari Team: Ralf - Clark - Leona
Psycho Soldier Team: Athena Asamiya - Kensou - Anyone but Chin
Yagami Team: Iori - Vanessa - Eiji
China Team: Headphones Boy - Acting Mask Girl - Mysterious Hooded Man
Mexico Team: Ramon - Angel - Griffon Mask Tizoc
Outlaw Team: Yamazaki - Billy - Newcomer Bandit
South America Team: Brazilian Ninja - Handicap Boxer - Pretty Latin Girl
Hizoku/Those from the Past Team: ANY - ANY - ANY
That would be my roster.
Kudos to SNKP for not being afraid to introduce a bunch of new characters, they look interesting. I donāt see how anyone could have a problem finding their main team with a roster of 50 characters.
I would say white
The new characters are mostly to pander different audiences in the worldā¦ now we have 3 China teams, 2 Korea teams and 2 Latin America teams, for exampleā¦
And they are keeping Stone Age characters like Chin, Choi, Chang, Tung, Vice, Mature, Leona, etcetera, that no one likes, instead of the coolest characters from the Ash Saga (which includes the ones from Garou), as well as characters from pachinko spinoffs and games that have nothing to do (like Samurai Shodown), whenās this nonsense gonna stop?
I think roster is fine. I think It should stay as is and other characters should reappear as dlc or in future installments. Iād love to see teams like:
Orochi team- Chris, Shermie, and Yashiro
Sports team- Heavy D, Lucky, and Brian Battler
Women fighters team 2- Blue Mary, Venessa, and Chizuru
Elizabeth team- Elizabeth, Duo Lon and Shen Woo
Jin team- Chon Rei, Chon Su, and Yamazaki
Crime boss team- Mr.Big, Karman Cole, insert shady/blue collar criminal character
But for now, Iām happy with what we have
Augus is dat you?
You know what? Comparing his shirt to Kingās, it is closer to white. You are totally right. Suspicion withdrawnā¦ For now
