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

ill learn how to use her just to annoy people

I hope the Demon boys design doesn’t change.

At first I didn’t care much for him based on the info, but from his design he look pretty awesome.

I was just about to say that hahaha

It’s partly why I play Athena. And Nakoruru’s in this party too, gg.

Also her gameplay looks like it might be cool too.

Not a fan of the frills on Vice’s waist ether but I’m 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(we’ll probably be getting one or two per month(more often one) until release. That works perfectly if we’re looking at a fall release) we will get an AoF team member, a Pscho Soldier, and a China team member. I’m calling it

*I noticed that the gameplay looks faster in this trailer than previous trailers, which I’m excited about. Vice and Kims animations look really good, but Kim is definitely a work in progress.

I’m not a fan of Sylvie. I don’t like her design and her moveset makes me think that she’ll 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 haven’t 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.

Leave the Arcana Hearts stuff out please.

On to some Gameplay stuff, I’d 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 that’s not her Crouch C) into her XIII style ā€œSplashā€. So it actually has an ATTACK box now? Already better than XIII.

Tung’s 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 Sylvie’s DM seemed like a nicely spaced grapple. One of her moves looked familiar…

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 isn’t like those other girls you listed. None of the female characters in KOF 14 fit the wacky arechtype.

And that’s like saying the game already has Chin and Tung Fue Rue, therefore Kim’s Master shouldn’t be in because he fits the master archetype. Or with Kyo, K, Kensou, Benimaru, ect that the game shouldn’t have the new protagonist because he’d for the pretty boy category.

And seeing as the game has 12 (14 if bosses count) characters in a 50 character FG, I’m sure you can survive with 1/12(14) of them being a cutesy female. If not, then you’re 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.

I’m hoping that’s her close C and not the return of the dreaded 13 c. C. Also she didn’t 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.

Tizoc’s primal roar at the end of the trailer is so god damn hype

That’s her close C alright, she did it off of her idle stance.

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 she’s 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 she’s 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, there’s improvement is actually noticeable. The only thing I’d complain about in the new trailer is the clipping on Tung’s shirt, but that’ll probably be fixed down the line.

And that is probably the point, SNK very likely wants to expand the audience the game might appeal to via designs like her’s.

That’s the point tho, she’s suppose to look out of place/stick out. She is likely made to fit the audience that likes weird ecletic girls.

And seeing how popular Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is, it was actually very smart to make a character inspired by her.

Well this isn’t as stupid as when people were complaining about the new Xrd characters not looking like GG characters, but it’s still pretty stupid. KoF characters have to be designed a certain way forever? Really? They aren’t allowed to have ONE character that does something weird and different?

I don’t 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. She’s in a KoF game. End of story. She’s 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. You’re free to not like the design as much as you want, but arguing about whether or not she’s a KoF character? You can shut that shit up.

As a (speculated) villain/antagonist of the arc, I’d say Sylvie does a good job of coming off as such. I’m glad she’s really divisive and I can’t wait to make all y’all niggas mad. Chin/Choi/Sylvie already lookin to be really in making people want to throw their sticks.

Ite forget what I said, don’t put color edit in XIV I dont want to see what atrocities ppl make with sylvie lolol
