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

Code Mystics gets a bad rep for their work on the steam ports because they were not given free reign to do what they want. Check out the Metal Slug 3 port on PSN or the upcoming LB2 port that is already confirmed to use GGPO.

And here i always thought “Ryu” stood for Dragon. As in “Sho (the master “Rising”) Ryu (Dragon) Ken (Fist)”

Probably because Ryu would be dragon while Ryuu(with the macron) would be noble.

which is it tho (the Character)

Isn’t ryu pronounce ryu though, not ryuu.

Also if SNK is planning to host lobbies I can’t imagine them not making online play a priority to some extent. Is it really that hard to just get GGPO and give us KI-level quality online.

The character is ryuu.

What the hell are you talking about? Use phonetic spelling man.

So “Ryu” as we know him is actually “Ryuu”?

Tomorrow should be the next 3 character reveals, hopefully one of them is Alice.

King is so beautiful, can’t wait to see her supers

Well, I guess it’s just americanization of the name. It’s still pronounced the same I presume so I don’t think his name being RyĆ« matters.

That’s what I was asking, like is his name ryu and pronounced that way or is it ryuu and a different pronunciation. Also if ryo is spelled very differently in the original language why is the spelling so similar in English.

@Hadoking I just presumed it was supposed to be Dragon because of the Sho-Ryu-Ken move. (which is translated as rising dragon punch? and i thought it was supposed to be a nod to the 3 game characters.

Lets assume Athena would only get 3 classic costumes in KOF14, which 3 would you choose?

I’d pick 99, 02, and 03.

You know, I actually kind of feel bad that I’m expecting a 4th trailer for the month. SNK putting that work in

'95, '99, and 2003 Athena

I’m not one for you to ask that Reo.

Wow, I never thought of it as a reference to the characters.

96, 97, 02
