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

[SAB-CA]

I’ve been watching since the beginning, but I’ve just got the “high Traffic” message myself. Yay for KoF! Boo for us!

An hour to go!!! https://twitter.com/NuraYagami/status/718392845816741888

Has anyone here been able to watch the stream? I keep on getting “The site is experiencing high traffic. Please wait a moment and try again”.

I’ve been watching. It’s an old build which is disappointing. Still using the 9 character build. Nothing really exciting being shown off, this stream is mostly great so you can hear the OST finally. Highlight of the stream so far is Robert cl.C f.B MAX cl.C EX Hien EX FBF+K DP Ranbu.

@MMaker We’ve got a new take on Arashi No Saxaphone! It’s a bit hard to hear, but the themes seem like they’re in line with what you expect of the teams sounds, so far.

All new themes. Fatal Fury’s theme is a little too twangy for my liking. It’s VERY country music sounding, which is weird. Sounds like it’s supposed to be the theme to the Navajo Land stage more than the Fatal Fury team. Women Fighters Team is still piano-y and jazzy, but it has a lot more violin and is much more relaxed. Ktheme sounds like a K theme. Same kinda electronic pumping beat type song. Art of Fighting Team theme sounds like a bootleg 98 theme, not bad but not my favorite. Japan Team Theme is a new Esaka that definitely takes some cues from Esaka? but does a new thing. Didn’t get too good of a listen to the Criminal Team theme yet.

Billy’s EX thrust move pulls you in if you do the follow up and he has his Fatal Fury crossup.

Robert can combo cl.C f.A into divekick, in the corner he can follow that up with DP.

I heard something that sounded kinda like the AoF KoFXIII team theme as well as the esaka remix from the beginning of the PSX trailer

[Niiobu]

Dammit I’ve gotta wait 'til I get home to catch up on all this, I just wanna taste dat KoF music

[you can call her a moe blob all you like. But if you ask me, you’re way off. I moe blob would be a character with no substance besides “Kawaii desu ne”. If that’s the case, redirect your hate towards Bao, Momoko, the little girl from Last Blade, all of Arcana Hearts, Ingrid, Marie(DoA), Xiaoyu, May(Guilty Gear), Bridget(Guilt Gear), Lucky Cloe, etc

Well not all Arcana Heart characters or Marie Rose, but yeah pretty much this.

Agree to disagree on Marie Rose

[Monkey66]

Ugh, more moe blobs…

Yep because any female character that shows the slightest bit of cuteness/girliness is an automatic moe blob

Convince me how she’s not a moeblob. What are her unique defining qualities beyond the archetype of “cute Chinese kongfu girl”? I just don’t see it. You disagreed and you didn’t provide any reason at all. How am I supposed to see your point if you don’t say it?

Not that it will change your opinion on her, but no she is not a moeblob. While she is a traditional kung fu fighter, she also inherits a dragon spirit and has dragon based moves along with a fire element. That’s why she’s called the Dragon Gal.

She also has a dragon form (not shown in the trailer) where she is even more fast, strong, & powerful.

Dragon power is part of the Chinese stereotype list I mentioned before. In what way do you consider her dragon powers to be unique?

Kensou was a stereotypical Chinese kongfu boy with dragon powers from Psycho Soldier
but his Chineseness wasn’t his only defining quality when he was revamped in KOF. Before KOF12, he dressed normally and did a lot of goofy shit to stand out in his own way so he could woo Athena.

A moeblob is character with a generic design and no defining personality traits. If a moeblob from China is put inside the setting of a fighting game, it will pretty much end up like Mui Mui.

Wtf? How the hell do you know what her personality or overall character is like. She’s damn their brand new and no one knows her story or personality, even in Dragon Gal all that game shows (from the little you can see on YouTube) is some fight scenes.

And no the way she uses her dragon powers are unique. Somi e of her moves resemble a dragon, and like I said earlier she has a dragon form that wasn’t shown in the trailer.

We don’t even know MuiMui enough to know she is moe. The girl literally only has her high pitched voice and her peace sign taunt to go by. And that doesn’t automatically make someone moe let alone a moeblob.

You really are blinded in ignorance and are stubbornly just trying to hate on the girl (but like I said before, it wasn’t like your opinion will change anyone). As far as I care, you can hate on her as much as you want. But don’t sit here and keep trying to force said character into a title when we don’t know much about her and from the little we have seen of her she doesn’t fit it.

Dammit I couldnt make it home in time to see the stream. I hate niconico, hope it gets uploaded to youtube soon

Agree to disagree on Marie Rose

It’s because as you see more of her she has a tsunadere-esque personality on top of her cutesy personality. You can see in in one of her win reactions, and you can especially see it in her intro with Honoka.

Which speaking of Honoka, that’s a moeblob (still love her tho).

But yeah Marie Rose really has a classy girl personality, but due to her loli looks she takes advantage of them by using a childish personality. Considering how lowkey dangerous her fighting style is, she’s actually smart to try to come of as weaker then she actually is.

Marie Rose wouldn’t fall under moeblob. Her character is aware all the moe tropes and takes advantage of it . Take her game over screen for example. She kneels on floor crying like a child saying it’s not fair. If you let the screen play long enough you’ll see her smile at the camera then resume her fake crying act.

I don’t know who Honoka is but I’ll take your word for it, since you obviously know more about DoA than I

Thanks to Gato ray for uploading the stream to Youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMRXCuUG63g

Has the build always had English subs? I’ve never noticed until now. I hope we can get a worldwide release.

Thanks for the heads up and thanks Sprite for the vid

[SAB-CA]

@“Doritos and Sprite” - Yeah, it’s always had English Victory quote text and such, since it’s gameplay premiere at an English event. Then the Chinese version premiered with localized text for there, too.

[Virtua_Leon]

Well i was just watching the stream a couple of things

changs spinning ball no longer builds decent meter on block
i dont know what the command is but that anti air ball he does does not hit standing foes even massive characters like chang

Changs hsdm is damn funny

at around 13.15 andy v andy 1 bar combo 50%

[Otaku_kid]

What can be the connection between Mui Mui and kensou’s Dragon spirit?
Is it the treasure Mui Mui is searching for in KOF XIV? Will it be the end of dragon spirit saga with Mui Mui taking away the dragon spirit from kensou?
