Check this out.
I personally didnāt see a problem with KOFās lighting, well to each his own.
I did pretty much the same thing for MKX. Learned the entire roster(except Reptile and Takada. And for the characters I did learn, I only learned one or two Variations) to play casually and to know thy enemy, but in ranked only use Kano, Jacqui, and Jason. But KoFXIV has 50 freaking characters, thatās a lot of bitches(not to mention that I just donāt like some charactersā¦ Chang, Yuri, Sylvie, and Nakoruru). I think I might learn half of the roster but all fifty characters is KayRayZee. But if you can do it, I salute bro
My main team so far will be Luong/Alice/?
It makes worlds of difference
Athena will look great with a little bit of more detail
Even if you think the lighting is fine, it provides extra details and removes the plastic action figure look. Itās most likely something SNK is already looking into, if I had to make a bet Iād say that the end result is going to try to look like the character select screen renders as much as possible.
I like using one canon team in KOF games and you better fucking believe itās gonna be Team Mexico. Aside from that my cup runneth over with characters to use, so Iām not super sure who Iāll use as an edit team.
Iām pretty sure many people here have stated before that a little different shading and lighting would make a world of difference. They were very much correct.
The second one looks great, but I think they over did it for the third one. As stated before though, after seeing how they fixed Kula and Leona, I have not doubt in my mind Athena will drastically improve come closer to release
The dinosaur isnāt new.
Peeps have been saying that all SNK has to do to make the game look good, is slap a shader onto it and hereās proof. I for one have been satisfied since PSX, but Iāll admit that the game still doesnāt look āgoodā from a purely aesthetic stand point. It only looks fine. However the edited pics of Angel and Athena look good.
So far my day 1 team is looking to be:
Angel/Luong/?
I feel you, bro. If I had to pick a canon team, it would between the Akari warriors team, the Mexico team, and the South Town team(depends on how I feel about Sabastion)
Just realized KOD is the first open trans character of King Of Fighters :smokin:
Okay, itās page 98, the best fucking page. I forbid you philistines from bumping it to page 99. Thread closed.
Anyone else interested in seeing how Geese Butler will turn out like?
Hope he is like Sebastian 
@Sir_Bumble_Bee I see your 98ā UM intro and raise you 98ā Arcade Intro:

āLets make them look less plasticky, by adding PURE WHITE HALO LIGHTING AND SHINES to them!ā If anything, that makes them look more like action figures, as if each material is made out of hard plastic. Though their improvements on Athenaās face are very nice. And itās all very minor stuff too, in the end.
I like the secondās Halo lighting, but the 3rds face and Hair detail; Athenaās purple hair really just works as SUPER ANIME as possible here; since itās an unnatural color, might as well go all-out.
Too many characters I wanna play in this game.
I really wanna play Luong. Sheās the new waifu.
Iāve been playing alot of Benimaru in 97/98 lately, Iād like to run him. Ralf and Clark as well.
Depending on how Geese turns out, I might play him.
