I remember seeing a stream of Garou on a French site . They brought two Japanese players. The final was Jenet against Kain, which Jenet won easily. They made no use of that broken stuff.
Last Blade 2 is even worse in that regard. Still tourneys are taking place.
It is such games that require high level players in order to play without making use of those advantages.
I think both MOTW and last blade are easy to pick up games for the average player unlike KOF, I think KOF is way more complicated than those 2.
I am assuming they won’t reveal both the boss characters and keep it for players to discover so they may only now reveal 20 characters.
They can reveal 3 characters for next 6 weeks and another 2 very hyped character together( new demon boy protagonist and mai will be fitting for this) for the 7th week and just leave the boss characters for fans to explore.
I hope the boss don’t turn up to be duke n jivatma bcuz Cthulhu and Antinov are just name coined by a guy in this thread and are not actual name of the bosses.
If they aren’t doing dragon spirit saga this time then i am hopping it to get more attention so it could grow bigger in this saga.
Btw there are high chances of xiv getting DLC due to huge venessa,rock and yamazaki cryout among fans and this would draw more players to buy xiv.
I suspected that SNK’s strategy was to reveal its entire cast and then focus purely on polishing the game and finishing all the fine details. I think we’ll get a real full trailer with the features and plot revealed after the roster is done being shown off.

It’s just a theory, but highly likely. (It’s Antonov, not Antinov 
)
@ReoGeoSRK: Probably. They have coined the series of trailers as “Teaser Trailers” so far. I’m going to guess we will get 4 more up until the KVO event which will make the total count at 14 trailers for Kof XIV.
there’s got to be more than 14 trailer though, they only revealed like half the roster. they could get all revealed in may with the rate they are going. it’s probably going to launch after the summer anyways .
Unless the final trailer or the ones before dump alot of the characters in them.
Somehow I find the concept art to look better than actual Athena’s model. I dunno, maybe it’s just the artstyle difference? She definitely looks 18+ on the artwork but feels like 14 in the game
It looks like the artistic choice for Athena is to have her resemble her moe appearance from 13. I think she’ll be fine graphically but personally I don’t like the underage look. It’s kind of weird that some characters turned out perfectly like geese,ryo and benimaru then you have botches like kyo who look like they enjoy taking it up the ass.
That’s not concept art, someone photoshopped her XI artwork.
Something about Athena’s skirt makes me think famiresu rather than school girl.
Oh it’s a photoshop…
It’s ReoGeo, what did you expect?
I’m just not fond of them turning a badass manly shonen hero type character into a J-pop pretty boy sissy.
Omg such drastic changes, the difference is so uncanny 
PS: You could’ve just said he looks more of a pretty boy, you didn’t have to write the homophobic stuff.
Just saying.
He hasn’t looked like that since KOF '98 which is nearly two decades ago. So I don’t see the sudden issue.
And even between 94-98 he wasn’t that much further from visually masculine, he’s always been a pretty boy. Just saying.
