I honestly find it pretty hard to complain about certain characters not returning to the roster in King of Fighters 14 when it’s going to have 50 CHARACTERS AT LAUNCH, a large amount of which are either brand new or returning from older games and pretty much everyone getting some form of visual redesign (be it minor or major).
Too many new characters, it’s about 30% of the roster. And I think characters like Chang and Choi should have been dropped, they’re too obsolete, in fact I prefer Malin over Choi.
Chin can be sort of cool because of his fighting style, but IIRC, the China team has a new “sleep fighting” guy that could be similar.
However, I can’t say what should happen to the Psycho Soldiers team if they remove Chin, all their reserve members have been lackluster… I’d say better create again a Girls Team like in KOF 2003 (Yuri, Malin and Athena) and have Kensou leading a new team consisting on Duolon, Lin and him, something like that.
By the way, I’d fucking love to have back Khushnood Butt, in fact Kim’s master looks sort of similar, why not Butt?
What about Kevin Rian and/or Rody Birts? Both were pretty cool, I don’t see the need of creating so many new characters when there are many cool guys already available…
Personally I’m really glad that they went all in with a ton of brand new characters.
After all, it’s been over a decade since the mainline series has received a brand new character.
31 returning characters is more than fair and at the end of the day pleasing everyone is impossible since SNK has just too many good characters. Include a character people are complaining about now and they will just complain about someone else instead.
Most games have that percentage of new characters on average. If anything, XIII might have had too few new characters.
I don’t see how anyone can complain about the roster when XIV will launch with more than double the chars than the average fighter.
Too many new characters has got to be the stupidest complaint I’ve ever heard, especially when the roster is this size. It’s amazing how people don’t want change but want their personal favorite character that was never important and wouldn’t even make sense to be in the game. People want every game to be a dream match Greatest Hits edition.
Omg I just realized MotW fans are exactly the same as the 3s Taliban! Fans of a cult classic that sold like shit, and for some reason can’t understand why the characters from said game are ill favored.
I love MotW too. That, Real Bout 2 and Breaker’s Revenge are my favorite games to play in Fightcade. And MotW had some really cool characters, but I will never be surprised when MotW(and 3s) characters don’t get their due of love because it makes sense. I mean you wouldn’t push a wrestler that gets booed mercilessly as a face would you(Roman Reigns). I will never expect MotW characters, but on the off chance they make it, I’m partying. Praise be to Tizoc
3s is the shit stfu noob
I never said it wasn’t. 3s is my favorite fighting game of all time. But it still sold like shit, and because of so it doesn’t surprise me that there are only three 3s reps in V
People complaining about characters missing is just something that comes with the territory with KoF. In some ways they are a victim of their success. They’ve created so many cool characters that over the years everybody has found a couple. Given KoF’s history people shoudlnt hope for anybody.
Well it is Magegg.
But the thing is, it’s not JUST Magegg. Tons of people are saying similar things.
KoF hasn’t had original characters since XI. It good to see this many new characters given XIII only had the boss as it’s only new character and he looked like a tweaked Ash.
It’s been a long time since a KOF game had a large number of new original characters.
LOL, at a glimpse while scrolling down, I thought he had his dick out or something because I didn’t pay attention to the detail.
Like I said before, I’m glad there is more new characters as it brings in more of a fresh feel to the game.
I also think it was cool to have the pachinko girls become characters too. Really interested in seeing how they turn out.
I am late on the KOF updates
Is that the official artwork of the characters? Or is that just a placeholder? A lot of the art work looks really bizarre, like the official invitation team and Alice’s icons.
Have there been screenshots of Alice and Mai gameplays?
KoF is like MK in the hardcore love for some of the characters. Unfortunately they’ve created so amny characters that there are always going to be people who are disappointed with the roster.
Wait til the game ships with no story mode and people waste their time
Not yet.
And… why are your avatars so damn good?
But it’s by the same guy as the last one…
I can definitely tell. Either way, there should be something announced soon as far as KOFXIV is concerned.
EDIT:
Auto-correct could definitely use a good Deadly Rave or a Buster Wolf… how annoying.
