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

Luong is hot, she’s my favorite new character so far. Definitely will be mailing her.

Nelson looks pretty cool too, Also excited to see more of him. Wonder what the Handicap part about him is tho.

Athena looks cute, glad she’s not wearing a typical sailor school uniform anymore and is actually dressing like a Jpop idol.

you mean, yashiro, vanessa, Heavy D! … because steve came after those.

I was just being facetious.

I thought Athena looked weird at first, but it’s just certain camera angles her face looks kinda QUALITY. I’m not gonna fret though, most probably it’s a WIP

BTW.

… He has a bionic arm.

We already knew that.

Also I love how the new trailer only showcases the new characters instead of mashing them with the already revealed characters. Hope they stick to this.

I don’t like Athena’s design :confused: She looked older in the leaked artwork

Luong = Juri

Nelson = Black Steve Fox

Let’s go, yo!

I believe the parts about Nelson being crippled are probably lost in translation, and meant that Nelson has a bionic arm because he’s missing an arm (could still count as crippled?). I like his rapid attacks and long combos. Nice!

Was it specifically said that Luong (the TKD wife) is Kim’s wife or Kim’s master’s wife?

Master’s wife.

I guess Kim’s master is her husband. She looks too strong and bitchy to marry Kim.

So, did people complained about the lack of Crystal Shoot DM for Athena in XIII, so they made it her new Climax DM?
I’m ok with that.

Also, she also looks like having her XIII moveset as a base.

Luong seems to be a blend of Jhun and Shermie, possibly with a stance at 22-23 seconds.

My brother pointed out to me that Athena’s eyes look Chinese as opposed to Japanese. I don’t really know the difference between The slant of their eyes. Can somebody clear this up to me. Is there even a difference?

so with nelson around can people stop complaining about vanessa

It might be a nod to the style, look at luong’s eyes in the same trailer. (Athena Asamaya is Japanese btw tell your bro that lol)

im not seeing that myself, i have a feeling she’s more like maylee, that move at 22 is possibly a counter just like maylee used to have

There is a difference in real life. Athena is supposed to be japanese, but she trained in China, and both Kensou and Chin are chinese.

she has Shermies Grab for example (frankensteiner)

Roger. Though Kim is Justice-Man, he can work anyone into shape. And maybe Kim likes 'em strong =) . Though I can’t see her being Jae and Dong’s mom, so I guess that fits.

did Nelson lose his arm in a car accident? is that why he’s sporting all those tire tracks everywhere?

you can also see he’s lost all the pigmentation on part of his face, like he’s been burned.
