Not a fan of the frills on Viceās waist ether but Iām liking everything else. I was wrong before, pants>dress for Vice. I still think Mature should wear a dress though
Also my guess for next trailer: next month(weāll probably be getting one or two per month(more often one) until release. That works perfectly if weāre looking at a fall release) we will get an AoF team member, a Pscho Soldier, and a China team member. Iām calling it
*I noticed that the gameplay looks faster in this trailer than previous trailers, which Iām excited about. Vice and Kims animations look really good, but Kim is definitely a work in progress.
Iām not a fan of Sylvie. I donāt like her design and her moveset makes me think that sheāll be a keepaway character due to the spacing after her specials and supers. I could see the special move she used at :16s in would be good to control hop space and I could easily see her having a higher arching version that covers more vertical space. *
Vice looks slick as hell in those showcases. Kim is excellent (as expected).
I am probably going to learn Syvlie just to troll the living hell out of other players.
SNK still havenāt learned their lesson since Mignon Beart.
They seem to forget they already have Nakoruru, Athena and Kula (remember her alt in MI2) to appeal to that crowd. And those 3 characters were designed to fit in KOF games.
On to some Gameplay stuff, Iād like to note Clark and Ralf have their unique Far Ds back. This is definitely good to see.
Also, Vice combos out of a close normal (I hope thatās not her Crouch C) into her XIII style āSplashā. So it actually has an ATTACK box now? Already better than XIII.
Tungās combo into his spirit growth special looked nice and fast. Senpuugouken looked like it hit very fast too, already faster than the last trailer. Variations from button strengths? EX version of the move?
I like how Sylvieās DM seemed like a nicely spaced grapple. One of her moves looked familiarā¦
Instead of her having obvious projectiles, I could imagine her having lighting arcs of various distances, similar to Misaka in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax.
Sylvie is getting a decent response tho. Also aside from being a cute teenage girl, she isnāt like those other girls you listed. None of the female characters in KOF 14 fit the wacky arechtype.
And thatās like saying the game already has Chin and Tung Fue Rue, therefore Kimās Master shouldnāt be in because he fits the master archetype. Or with Kyo, K, Kensou, Benimaru, ect that the game shouldnāt have the new protagonist because heād for the pretty boy category.
And seeing as the game has 12 (14 if bosses count) characters in a 50 character FG, Iām sure you can survive with 1/12(14) of them being a cutesy female. If not, then youāre suffering with first world problems. Just ignore her and stick to your mains and other newbies, not every character was made to appeal to all audiences.
Iām hoping thatās her close C and not the return of the dreaded 13 c. C. Also she didnāt combo directly into the splash, she went for a qcb A and then did the followup splash. But I do hope that they give regular splash a hitbox. In 13 only her ex splash had a hitbox.
Do you think Sylvie looks like a KOF character?
If you put Sylvie side by side with the rest of the roster, does she look like sheās designed by the same artist who made all the other characters?
My problem with Sylvie is that she looks OVER designed compare to everyone else. I am totally fine with her personality, but her outfit is way too decorated as though sheās dressed for a different game altogether.
KOF has had a wide range of characters, but they all fit right into KOF, just like how Platinum The Trinity looks like a BlazBlue character. Sylvie breaks the flow.
The graphics seem to be improving at a steady clip. Watching the new trailer alongside the older ones, thereās improvement is actually noticeable. The only thing Iād complain about in the new trailer is the clipping on Tungās shirt, but thatāll probably be fixed down the line.
Well this isnāt as stupid as when people were complaining about the new Xrd characters not looking like GG characters, but itās still pretty stupid. KoF characters have to be designed a certain way forever? Really? They arenāt allowed to have ONE character that does something weird and different?
I donāt agree with that. You are actively restricting creative freedom when you say shit like that. Guess what, Sylvie does look like a KoF character. Because she IS a KoF character. Sheās in a KoF game. End of story. Sheās a pop culture reference just like dozens of other pop culture references in KoF, the difference is that the reference is modern. It fits perfectly in line with classic SNK design M.O. Youāre free to not like the design as much as you want, but arguing about whether or not sheās a KoF character? You can shut that shit up.
As a (speculated) villain/antagonist of the arc, Iād say Sylvie does a good job of coming off as such. Iām glad sheās really divisive and I canāt wait to make all yāall niggas mad. Chin/Choi/Sylvie already lookin to be really in making people want to throw their sticks.
