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

[Magegg]

I really wanna play Luong. She’s the new waifu.

Sad, but unlike most waifu anime characters, she already has a husband, ha ha, sucker XD

[Bubba_da_genius]

Aye yo, I just got a crazy prediction for next weeks trailer.

Ok you know how for the last two weeks they have been opening the trailers with some creative gimmick using a cute girl character. Well I think they will go 3 for 3.

Picture this: you see the “Burn To Fight” banner and then you hear in bright girly voice “Are you ok?”. The screen flashes to Alice fighting Terry. She does a bunch of girly versions of Terry’s move(which I will probably hate, but it’s ok. That’s not the part that’s supposed to make me hype). And next We see Ramon fighting somebody(the part that’s supposed to make me hype), he does some hype af lucha bullshit. And lastly we get to see Ryo fighting Robert. He does shoto stuff like a shoto. Also he has the chop and air fireballs

This works perfectly, the last two trailers have perfectly balanced Cutesy little girls(Sylvie and Athena), characters for the OGs and the dudebros(Kim and Nelson), and something in between(Vice and Luong)

If I am right about even one prediction, I am officially the new King of this discussion

[Hawkingbird]

Anyone else interested in seeing how Geese Butler will turn out like?

Nigga ain’t Yamazaki so no.

[Garu]

I have always love Kyo he is my main, but if they dont fix his face and hair Im afraid im not going to use him anymore. As for cannon team obviously i will go for Team Mexico I love Angel and Ramon as for KoD I will give him a chance

[Monkey66]

Pretty excited to see Alice, I hope she’s revealed next week.

Interested in seeing how she’ll be similar yet different from Terry. Also love her design, it’s cute and tomboyish.

[Hadoking]

Okay, it’s page 98, the best fucking page. I forbid you philistines from bumping it to page 99. Thread closed.

Nah, man. You already passed the best page.

@Sir_Bumble_Bee I see your 98’ UM intro and raise you 98’ Arcade Intro:

Play that shit just like you got your motherfuck- (ing check and you about to take it to the bank.)

I really wanna play Luong. She’s the new waifu.

Implying we don’t live in a world where NTR is kinda mainstream now.

[TheGoodLoser]

Nelson looks crazy. First new character I want to play.

What, King of Mother Fucking Dinosaurs not crazy enough for you?

The dinosaur isn’t new.

Just realized KOD is the first open trans character of King Of Fighters :smokin:

[ottomatic]

Anyone with a grounded overhead gets bonus points on my list of potential mains, extra bonus points if it’s super cancelable like a few of XIII’s were (both Ioris, Vice, Ryo). Overhead, quick max, low, combo to EX shenanigans for one meter, or there’s low, quick max, overhead, SDM for two (when applicable). Just something to consider when looking for a main with mixups. Vice should receive special mention as she can probably still do throw mixups as well (if they don’t alt guard) … Alternate guard is still in, right?

[crotchpuncha]

The only thing I have a problem I have with these teaser trailers is that some characters look so beta and give off a bad first impression. Athena has the same problem Andy did, then characters like king and Chang look good right from the start. It gives off a inconsistent presentation. Snk should really try to get every character on the same page before showing them off. Graphically Athena doesn’t even look like she should be in the same game with the other characters.

“SNK needs to show more trailers faster and give us more news faster what we get isn’t enough!”

*gives him what he wants"

“SNK really should wait till everything is presentable before they show it off”

-.-

Anyway my team is Terry/Someone/Someone.

Liking the look of a lot of people so hard to settle till i get my hands on it. So far I’m liking Angel, Leona, Athena, Joe, and King of Dinos.

[TheGoodLoser]

i will have two teams: My main team, Kim, Billy and spaceholder. And My “Fun” Team, Clark, KoD, Ramon.

So mainstream it might actually be canon kinda.

On Athena: I’m not really a fan of the “moe” face they gave her, and that extends to the other cutesy characters they revealed as well (Kula and Paula). Like SAC-CA has already mentioned I think it might be an uncanny valley thing for me, as her eyes just seem a little too big along with the nose being too small.

It’s at least an improvement over what they did to her in KOF13, though my favourite iterations of Athena were these:

[Leebee_Link]

team status is currently at Robert/KoD/?

I need more info for the last one @_@

[ReoGeoSRK]

Those lighting effects are nice but I doubt SNK will implement them. I think the game will unfortunately look like a high res PS2 game. It will be graphically dissapointing but I think as a KOF fan you get used to shitty graphics. The appeal of KOF has never been its graphics since it’s always been a terrible looking series. It would have been nice to have a 2D.5 KOF game graphically on par with its competition but that’s fine, the gameplay has and always will be what sells KOF and so far the game looks really hype.

My favorite is her 2002 iteration, and I loved her SDM when she change her clothing it was really cool

Are you really still calling the game shitty looking?

[aznspyderman]

How so?

Just curious on what they think they would need to change about KoF to make it more assessable.

We’ll have to see but so far:
.

1. Jumps have been slowed down (people complained that the jump pressure was too fast and overwhelming in XIII).
2. Long combos are gone (another common XIII complaint).
3. The new Rush combo system, which lets you mash LP at close range and get an auto-combo into a special or super (if you have meter). This is universal for all characters.
4. In XIII/2002 the only purpose of HD/BC mode was combos, if you didn’t know any then you might as well not have used them. Now Max mode gives access to EX moves, this is something even beginners and intermediate players can make good use of.

This post…
Has made me not want KoF14 at all.
Everything you mentioned is exactly what I loved about KoF13.
Thanks.

Wow that’s an old ass post. Well that first one is wrong, after people complained about the jumps being slow and floaty at PSX Oda said they would bring the jump speeds closer to classic KoF. Everything else though yeah. If you liked 13 because of combos you should probably just start playing anime games.

[Garu]

I guess she already got some fans, Luong is lookong really nice <3
