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

So this is getting a U.S. release right? I just wanted to be sure because I am not sure if using the disc swap will work on these “newer” games and I can’t find my boot disc anymore.

It looks like it plays well but the graphics…

i found this on the first trailer

Is the Characters Select ? 16 Team like the leak

[/quote]

16 teams = 48 characters

That + the 2 bosses = 50 characters

Guess the leak list is real after all.

Wait, whats the leak list?

Edit: wtf di i say about Gato you fucking pachinko making body pillow fucking bastards? Burn then! Burn them and their new chinese overlords!

Terry Bogard is in, all is right with the universe. The game could literally be Terry Bogard only where you can only have three teams of Terry Bogard and I’ll still play that shit.

SNK pretty much just took the piece of homemade pepperoni pizza that was the last game, wiped their shitty ass with it, then asked if you wanted a bite.

Spoiler

and even though its clearly covered in fecal matter, some of you are saying “Sure, Ill give it a shot, the pizza under there might still be good.”

If the leaked list is true, then it probably explains the graphics. SNK likely figured out that they’d do better to just get as many characters out in the roster as they could.

I’m kinda looking forward to this game if that roster is true.

Feel free to LOL!

I’m happy about the large roster size. If there’s that many characters you’re practically guaranteed to find a team you enjoy playing.

Genius tactics

Put the emphasis on the roster
Not give a shit about everything else

I know think about it!

“FUCK THIS GA…wait, Rock Howard in the roster? …maybe I’ll give it a shot…”

Just saying.

To be fair, this is a 3v3 game, (right?) so they need a large roster so people can still see a variety of characters played. A 3v3 game with a small roster is doomed from the onset because people will just get bored of seeing characters over and over again. I’m not saying that’s a good thing, but that’s the way it is.

You’re going to see the same characters over and over again regardless of roster size after a meta stabilizes.

Having a large roster also helps in the fact of a certain other game, which is going for a smaller roster at the start.

Mr. Karate from XIII says hi

But they are only gonna use like 2 people so why put in the effort to give players a choice and variety in a 3v3 game…said every skullboxes fan ever.

The way i see this game cannot be worse than kof12 or 2003 or 2001, so if it’s better than those it’s a start.

I like hearing your opinions since you’re eloquent and say deep stuff, what are your Top 5 KOF games?

And so not to derail, I think KOF will always have God-tier but even in 98, folks that have good fundamentals can beat anyone. That’s why the franchise is gold.

Even in games like XI with KGO, dudes still did damage with Terry, Ralf, and other less than top tier characters.

I’m probably the only person on Earth to think that 12 wasn’t the worst thing made by humans. It was a bad KoF game, but on it’s own merits the worst problem with the game is that it was unfinished and had no content. Other than that the mechanics were fine and kinda fun to mess around with. But I get why it’s so hated and I definitely don’t want another game like it unless it’s called Art of Fighting 4, but yeah I agree with you.

There’s no way in hell 14 will be anywhere near as bad as the actual bad KoF games and it’ll probably be better than most of the average KoF games, and that’s good enough to me. There are like 15 KoF games and the only 3 anyone ever wants to talk about are 98, 02, and 13. And that all makes sense because those are pretty much by far the strongest entries in the series, but if 14 is better than games like 95, 97, or 2000, it pretty much guarantees a spot in the top 5 games. It’s a shame that that’s not good enough anymore and people want a game that far surpasses 98 while being the prettiest game on the block for them to even consider it, but frankly those people can fuck off.

I just wish people would stop dropping a game just because it isn’t 2k2.

I mean, that’s how XIII died here. We used to hold monthlies for it, but attendance dropped because people just kept going back to 2k2.
