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

You know for all the arguments we have on this thread I’m actually surprised by the overwhelmingly positive reception. I checked out the YouTube comments from both the PlayStation channel and SNK channel, checked out the kappa Reddit thread, the official SNK Twitter, the Facebook SRK post and the front page post and like most of the comments are praising the game. Even the negative comments are getting drowned out by the people defending the game.

Slyvie’s design is definitely over the top and oddball but I wouldn’t call it completely out of place.
Young women/high schoolers with elemental/magic abilities isn’t new to the series (see Kula/Athena) and there’s certainly been a lot of out there/comedic characters throughout he series (even the main cast get in on the goofiness quite a bit).

The main thing that’s really out there about her design is that she has a really varied color overall palette compared to the rest of the cast. Most characters generally have a two tone primary colors (for example red/black for Vice and White/Blue for Kim) and not much secondary (usually just hair/skin). Sylvie on the other hand while she has a two tone primary colour like most of the cast (pink/green) she has a metric crap ton of secondary colors, which makes her look quite a bit different than the rest of the cast who are more traditionally designed (even King of Dinosaurs is primarily Red/Brown with white and skin colour as secondary).

Because I was bored

[details=Spoiler]Tesse is that you ? Girl where have you been? Your Collateral for internal feud that going on at Sony?I would be alarmed about person being used as a form transaction but then again your robot so…guess your grey area huh? either way don’t company have polices against work place violence? Originally an external issue before Sony acquire the new 3rd party but been too busy to deal with it? wouldn’t work place violence be a high priority? Oh… Their busy at capcom division with quality control…yeah that gonna take a while. Snk suggest showdown between the two colleagues? (classic SNK)

By the way who did Sony Acquire? twilight Frontier… Ah now it All make sense. I’m going to make wild guess, most likely the internal feud is within the Tohou division and the two Party must obviously be Reimu and Yukari. Knowing Riemu she’ll have Athena be representative since they both like…tradition and stuff and their goody two shoe. Heck wasn’t their tohou game aspire from Princess Athena original series? Might be royalties obligation or something going on in their.

Your appearance make sense too. Since you know…Yukari is well known for being a hella troll, The weird outfit with Eye balls, the distorted color, weird hair do and annoying voice, that some yokai shit. Yeah Yukari out for blood with this prank on the FGC and SNK fans, Has she been hanging around Harada and Ono? Figures troll flock together. That butt hurt from being excluded from tohou 14.5 must run deep, I guess since she can’t troll people herself she going to do it thrue you. SInce your looking to be the next Chloe… Well played Yukari…well Played.

Why do you always have to act like such an aahole. She looks stupid; end of discussion.

Because I am Squidward. Stay mad, end of discussion.

To the likes of me, you, anybody with half a working brain no these comments are meaningless drivel made by people that are either not real fans of kof or are just stupid.
But to me the comments do hold value because in this day and age i believe that this sheep mentality is very dangerous, i mean we all know in todays day and age everything is about internet opinion what’s trending and what not, we might not like it but its the way the world is these days.
So we know companies take notice

So far, have other characters been missing moves, I really would like to know that we won’t be having a XIII situation again were everyone is missing at least one move

I think King is missing moves, such as aerial Venom Strike.

Yeah, right, it’s so easy picture her in a meeting next to Ron, Krizalid and Clone Zero. Fuck SNK is ruining their universe, this new char looks like the worst class of Mary Sue fanfic shit.

Sylvie looks so crazy and so hilarious that is difficult to just classify her as “cute moe girl”. Some say she is Pamyu Pamyu. Well, maybe she is… or maybe she a parody of her.
Anyway, is not my type of a character. But everybody here deserves to have a character that fits with his/her personal tastes. So, for me Sylvie is welcome, knowing that probably will be the new character I like less in this new KOF XIV.

Mai, where the f* are you?? T____T So, if they announced Kim because this weekend the game is in Korea, next month game will be in Japan. So, could we have a trailer with japanese iconic characters? Mai, Athena, Nakoruru, Ryo, Goro, Joe, Yuri…

I agree it’s potentially dangerous, but I also think it’s fleeting; those same sheep will follow a wave of positive impressions, if the right people tell them too.

I don’t entirely believe the “Any publicity is good publicity” adage, but I do think a certain amount of negativity can be ultimately offset by bringing relevance; as long as it isn’t too damning, the fact people are interested enough to talk about you at least proves that you matter, and are something people care about.

There’s something good feeling about seeing KoF as the most discussed topic on the SRK front page, amidst Smash, SFV, and GG post. The people actually cared enough to talk back! I’d prefer that over indifferences and no views, at least for now. If SNKP can stick by their guns, and make a product that has enough content for casuals to want to buy in and play, but enough solid gameplay and balance to impress the critical and long-suffering KoF fandom, then we might have a game that has the appeal of KoF XIII at Evo during that one year… but for many years to come, with actual sales legs, and constantly updating relevancy / content.

I think we’re different from XIII, in the way that moves are not being kept out due to lack of ability to make the move sprites.

However, I do think we’ll be “missing” moves on characters, because move clutter makes some needlessly complicated at times, and not every single move is needed when your character have EX attacks too.

Heck, a Power Dunk and a Rising Tackle can serve the same purpose as 2 separate moves. Or, a Power Dunk can be the EX form of a Rising Tackle. What if Vice doesn’t have the ground cutting legs (Outrage) as a pure special, but the EX tackle uses the legs after first hit, to make it an easily cancelable move on hit, and a crazy safe chip damage move on block? Or if Invuln-on-startup Deicide is the weak version of HCF+Weak P, and Gorefest is the HCF+ Strong P variation of the same move? We just don’t know yet.

I REALLY hope we get to see how the dev team is handling these ideas over the weekend.

Omg! I don’t like Sylvie, but the dudes whining about her are ten times as annoying. Just don’t pick her if you don’t like her. “But I still have to see her in my game”, then learn how to kick her ass to punish peeps for using her. Otherwise, she’s in the game and not going anywhere. Deal with it. Quit being a bunch of babies!

At least the “looks like a PS2 game” joke is dead now that it looks more like a PS3 game. Kappa

King is looking all sorts of delicious.

Leona is love. Leona is life.

everyone know my english is not so good , so here what are my feeling about her in kof serie ,1 image is worth 1000 words

Lol Now this is how you properly shit on a character you don’t like. Post a funny pic and then walk away. No need to repeat yourself everyone knows where you stand on the matter

Yep. In the end it’s only a single new character out of 17 that we’re going to be introduced to. I’m pretty sure we’ll find more characters that fit on our likes. So, I can live with that…

Unlike SFV that presented only 4 new characters and if you didn’t like one of them you didn’t like 25% of the newcomers…

let hope your right , but i bet more character like this is coming ,

i dont need too s??t on anything because is already ??? and is not my style ,and i dont walk aWay i`m still here :slight_smile:

some user post image of Kyary Pamyu , for kof 14 , this look too be the new big icon of kof :frowning: and the new big character of the game , so hoW you feel if this character is the big deal of kof 14 ? idk for me geese or terry are far to be the Arcana Hearts type of character , and this make ridiculous match up and this dont fit the game

She isn’t part of the new hero team so by definition she isn’t the big new character of the game.
