So what are the chances of our South American boxer friend being anything like Akihiko? cause that would be fucking awesome for me.
could be anything from Dudley, Steve Fox, Akihiko to TJ Comboāish.
I havenāt been following KOF XIV much at all; is Vanessa coming back or nah?
He supposedly has a cyborg arm.
I hope he has an rocket punch
AT Ryo Sakazaki made a visualisation of the āLeakedā Roster so take what you will from it.

Everything so far indicates that the leak is true so the āinitialā 50 might not include Vanessa. However, DLC hasnāt been excluded yet so she might yet make an appearance like some characters in Maximum Impact did.
Is it too much too ask that I just want too āBODYBODYBODYā people with the GOAT boxer?
#freeVanessa
I think people were traumatized from 2000 Vanessa infinite, 2002og Vanessa 2 meter 70% from 50/50s, XI Vanessa infinite, and etc.
Real talk, Iād like to see her back and she is also one of my favorites but Iām still really contented with the cast. If she were to come back, I want her to have a more ānormalizedā timing to her cr.B cr.B chain, have her 02/02um f.A style overhead and not the KOFXI one where the second hit was the overhead, and give her 2002og style movement and cancel windows/properties. I think 02um was a bit overkill by taking away her cancelability of her sweep. KOFXI chaining cr.B cr.B felt really good, but I wasnāt fond of her new f.A overhead nor did I like how slow her teleports felt compared to 02og and 02um.
That probably means theyāre using the same trick as Capcom where certain parts are made to disappear depending on the side the character is facing.
It was 2003 iirc.
Yeah I hope Vanessa returns. I donāt even like using boxing characters and she was one of my favs of KOF.
one thing Iām really curious about is if anywhere juggle moves are present in this new engine. I liked their implementation in KOF XIII and it would be rad to see them return.
Iām okay as long as we donāt see KOF2001 Benimaru infinites with them or something like XIII Vice/Takuma combos. I donāt think I want to even see Kā TK Minute Spike loops from XI either. Something like Elizabeth doing some combo, ends with hit reset, then finish with a single anywhere juggle super is okay though.
EX moves seem to have them currently.
Fuck Vanessa, whenās Rick? After years of failed boxersā¦ Michael Max, Axel Hawk, Micky Rogers, SNK finally made a radical original boxer with Rick.

HeavyD is still cool too tho!
i made my account for this thread only pretty much
I really just want to play this game already. Maybe if I message oda enough times on FB and ask him to do a beta heāll listen.
Please do. Hopefully he slaps you across the face through the internet.
Iād rather spam Oda to add Vanessa or Momoko as dlc 
Really needs Foxy, I canāt stress how interesting of a character she is in 2002UM. Hereās about 18 minutes of her from a strong Japanese player:
