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

Dude, LET THEM FUCKING GO! They died, just like Mature and Vice… Hakkesshu should be a finished thing by this point. Destroy Leona, too, for the case.

I agree this team needs more love an and unpdate.

Chizuru is a joke. I said drop that “Alice” nonsense and add either Mary or Vanessa. But it looks like Vanessa’s more comfortable around males like Seth and Ramon…

They deserve this.

Twins have nothing to do with KOF, they were OK as for the Fatal Fury saga but that’s all.

Karman Cole most boring design ever, and Mr. Big had a chance in KOF XI, that should be all.

They’re going hard with the Chinese representation. I honestly think we’re not going to get any more Dragon Spirit plot this time, seeing how Kensou looks like he’s back in his casual wear.

The question is, how will the new team play into the story this time? I can’t really see any example of a true villain team. The Official team might fit the bill, but I can’t see a Chinese pop idol, and a little girl who fights in masks be villainous.

The Hooded Man and Blue Rasputin have some potential to be dangerous, though. And maybe the third guy on the South American team.

Keep in mind that most of them are character concep art, how they look in game can vary.
For example, Kula looks older on her portrait than her in game model.

yeah shen needs to come back

whatre the chances of a dream match game again with just fucking everyone

A fighting game with a 100+ characters?

Shen will be back in KOF XIII: 10th Anniversary Edition in 2020

maybe not that xtreme but as close to it as possible

No Gato…?

:frowning:

In what world does no one like Leona? :lol:

hes right tho how u not gonna bring back shen woo? too salty about the 100%

I want to get a better look at the new characters. Kim Master’s wife and blue Rasputin are the most interesting to me. Don’t like the idea of Geese having a butler on the team. Get Yamazaki in there.

Btw, killing characters is dumb shit for gameplay reasons.

xDD

As for the roster. Well, we all have our own tastes and preferences. I don’t care about Orochi team, they are gone, and they were only part of the plot of Orochi saga. Mature and Vice are more classic to me and I think they are ones of the most cool women in KOF. All games need evil bitches, and Mature and Vice are KOF ones. And Mature is on my team, so I’m glad she made it.
I’m not a big fan of Alice either, but maybe the only change I would do in this roster is to remove Mexico Team and put Agent Team with B.Mary, Ramon and Vanessa instead. The rest is fine to me.

I agree with you on the matter of Karman Cole, but he and Mr.Big make for an interesting gimmick team.

Everything else you’re saying is lunacy(save for when you agree with me), especially the comment about killing of Leona. There is absolutely no going reason to do so.

Yes the Orochi team are dead, but we have a convenient excuse to bring back a popular team, so why not. Just like Mature and Vice. If you kill off a popular character and get the chance to bring them back, why not.

Venessa didn’t mind partnering with Mary in XI, so why can’t she partner with Chizuru too. Also I just don’t like Seth

As for the twins. Nobody has anything to do with KoF until they have to something to do with KoF. They could simply be looking for Tung, and decided to rehire Yamazaki as a bodyguard/partner

Oh and I agree that the alternate world team doesn’t fit. But that’s kinda the point, they aren’t supposed to fit in. Besides, I don’t really care because personally because I think Mui Mui and Love Heart look really kool :wink:

Edit: oh yeah, I forgot one more team I would like to see one day: Garou team- Rock, Gato, and B.Jenet. With the space time monster on the loose, there’s no reason people from the future can’t appear

I liked Leona at first, she got better techniques and even some of awesome ki/blood-sucking powers from Heidern, but later she then just resorted to her shitty charge moves and stupid explosives like Heart Attack, Rebel Spark and else. She got more potential for a better gameplay, they just castrated her for life and turned her into a joke.

Why wasting a whole team just to follow a gimmick? There are better things to do with those slots… like Grant and Kain, for example.

I never liked the return of Mature and Vice. Yes, there are some coolness about the New Faces team maybe returning to redeem themselves, but I don’t want them as staples on the roster again.

There’s not a character named “Venessa” in the KOF series. Whatever, a boxer named Vanessa feels better doing agent jobs that with feminine fighters like Mai or Chizuru, I just don’t see her there.

Twins = Two slots wasted. Unless they’re Kim sons I would find that unacceptable.

The term moe shit sounds familiar to you?

I think a “Garou Hero Team” formed by Rock, Hotaru and Jae Hoon, against a “Rival Team” (Dong Whan, B. Jenet and Hokutomaru), sounds like there could be great chemistry between those personalities.

In the case of Leona. I don’t agree with you, but I can see were you are coming from and respect you’re opinion.

Kain, would finish that team pretty well. But I admit that it’s a dumb idea overall, but I just kinda like. I’m not saying what would or should happen because I’m kinda new to KoF and can’t say definitely what’s best for the game. All I’m saying is what I would like.

Lol, I’m pretty shitty at spelling, but I stand my ground on the subject of Vanessa. However I would settle for Lin or a newcomer agent taking Chizuru’s spot. I don’t have any personal attachment to her after all. I just think it would make a cool team.

I disagree, the Jin twins play differently enough that I would not call them a waste.

Lmfao, you aren’t wrong. As she appears in Dragon Gal, Mui Mui is a bit too far on the moe side. But based on her portrait she doesn’t seem nearly as bad. Despite her moe shit name, Love Heart doesn’t actually look like moe shit. As for Nakaruru. I really hate Nakaruru and think that if they wanted a Sam Sho character they should have just taken Hoahmaru or Genjuro(probably spelt his name wrong). But I’m not gonna cry about it, I like two out of three members of the team and while I hate the character, I’m sure there is an army of lolicons who fiend over the chick so it’s worth it if someone is happy I guess :neutral:

I think some people confused this thread discussion with the Gamefaqs forum…

I’ve already explained it in a few places but one more time won’t hurt. What you’re looking at is concept art. Obviously at some point in development they needed to design the characters so they would know how they looked before making them in 3D. What does this have to do with Alice? Well she didn’t need concept art because she did not get redesigned from the Fatal Fury pachinko game. Her render is placeholder art. I mean, all of this is. People have been calling it a charactet select screen but I really doubt it. It looks more like promotional material or possibly a pitch. They might have used the artwork and the size of the roster to get the project greenlit initially. No one knows the origin of the image but what is clear is that it’s VERY old.

So yeah, Alice didn’t need concept art because her design was already done. Other things to note is that there are a couple art styles going on because there are two artists. Most of the art is Eisuke Ogura, but characters like Athena and the electric idol on the Official team are done by a new artist. Looks like they were putting him through his paces and trying to get the whole team up to par. There’s a lot going on with this image, so it’s kinda hard to break it down if you don’t know where to start.

From the image, it looks to be part of a PDF file, so I’d say that it was a from a presentation that was made somewhere within the company.

I hope this is true, chang and chois new amigo looks the bollocks
The new southtown member is male right? kind of hard to tell
