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

Looks like we will be back to a slow stream of news for awhile. It’s all good the game has been shaping up nicely its just a shame we know basically nothing about the gameplay or story or the characters aside from what was shown.

KOFXIV is indeed a very mysterious game.

Its really not.

Like, legit ReoGeo has to be fucking with us at this point. He’s in this loop of saying contradicting shit, it’s amazing.

We’ll probably get another trailer this week. What are you complaining about?

You say “We know nothing about the gameplay aside from what was shown”. Isn’t what was shown…the gameplay? It’s not like the game has a convoluted “must be explained” system. Also, what is it with you and story? Shouldn’t the main focus of a fighting game before release be to, I dunno, show off the fighting(I’m realizing now that I’m becoming more cynical)?Jesus man, stop looking for something to complain about.

My prediction on how the characters making their fighting game debut that haven’t been revealed yet will be like

Alice: Since she is a student of Kim’s and a Terry fangirl, I see her using Taekwondo as her fighting style and could use her own version of Terry’s iconic moves. Seeing as she’s seen with a basketball in some pics, I can see her using one in her fighting style (or something else sport related).

Brazilian Ninja: To differ from Mai and Nakoruru (and since he doesn’t look like a traditional ninja) I see him having his own twist to his ninja style. He’d have a unique weapon and/or element.

Latin Girl: I see her using caporiera. She’d be fast and would use tricky moves. Instead of her using traditional caporiera, she’d have dances that’d she use when fighting. I could also see her Toucan coming in her moves.

Kim’s Master: I see him using Taekwondo. And to differ from Kim’s traditional style and Luong’s feminine/flexible style, he’ll be rougher and heavier with his moves.

Newcomer Prisoner: Like Chang and Choi, he’ll have a weapon. Design wise, he comes off as a voodoo priest to me. So I could see him using a cane and having voodoo attacks and powers.

Geese Butler: I think he’ll be inspired by Sebastian from Black Butler. Will have a classy personality and has a elegant bit deadly fighting style.

Masked Girl: She is said to have multiple masked and has different fighting styles for each one. So I see her having mixed Chinese martial arts as her fighting style.

Hooded Man: Seeing as he is suppose to be mysterious, I see him having a supernatural fighting style. Perhaps one with teleports and such.

Demon Boy: He’d likely have a cool version of an existing fighting style. He’d also use his Demon powers.

Pillow Child: As said before, they’ll have a sleep fighting type fighting style. So I see them having a drunken fist type style (except sleepy instead of drunk).

Mui Mui: She’d have a fighting style similar to Chun Li/Pai Chan’s. But she’d also have a dragon mode where she turns super human and becomes really powerful. Would also have fire balls.

Love Heart: Would have a fighting style that would be a mixture of XDZW Jack and Cloud. She’d mainly fight with her sword and use her boozokas in some moves. Also her pet Airl will assist her in certain moves.

You have to be trolling.

We’ve already know quite a bit about the gameplay thanks to the impressions of people who played it at PSX, including @Laban 's extensive notes.


Everyone keeps saying Sebastian when it’s Claude (Faustus) he looks similar to.

I have a feeling that KOF XIV is going to be the next original KOF '98 & KOF 2002: Unlimited Match in huge popularity, unlike with KOF XIII despite being better graphically (though KOF XIV is shaping up nicely in that department). :slight_smile:

The fact that most of the original SNK staff consisting of past SNK games like Fatal Fury, Garou, Real Bout, AOF, etc. that are working on this game & are fine tuning on it’s gameplay to be just like '98/'02:UM proves it.

I just wanna see the move list and how the characters play. We all wanna see it so don’t act like I’m the only one complaining.

You ARE the only one complaining. Wanting something doesn’t mean spending every waking moment moment obsessing over it and posting arbitrary and demanding comments like they contribute in any way. Also, most of the movesets for characters shown in gameplay have been in screenshots on this thread. If you care so much then go back and piece the information together. Otherwise, just stop. You’re making a fool out of yourself.

Who the hell watched Season 2?

It was a shitty anime quarter and i already binged watched D. Gray man before lol

Good news for XBOX ONE users it seems KOF 98 will be available with backward compatibility

There’s actually two different Alice’s. The Alice from the Pachinko and Dating Sim games is Alice Garnet Nakata. The one that is a student of Kim’s that appears in his Real Bout ending and also 2k2UM’s Korea Stage is Alice Chrysler. They are different characters, but Alice from the Pachinko games draws some inspiration from Chrysler.

I think Alice is pretty much just gonna be Terry’s Shingo.

LOL Watch Alice have a “critical hit” mechanic like Shingo does.

Her backstory has her as a clutzy nurse who’s afraid she’ll get fired for incompetence. She was always bound to be the joke character. Whether or not she’s a bad character on the other hand remains to be seen.
