Lol Athena and Kensou need to have their Psycho Ranger outfits as dlc (along with Chin getting his General outfit)

So if Sylvie has eletricity and Kukri has sand, that makes it likely the Mask Girl will get some sort of element power too.

It’s not really an element, but I could see her having fireworks as her powers.

So you want Jubilee to be in KOF?

Fixed

Wow sure

That new rekkas are great. I really looking forward to play Kyo even with his new design. Did someone recognized the AOF/Robert’s theme? It seems familiar but I can’t really remember from where.

I find really weird that Kensou is the red one and Athena is blue when their color patterns are usually the opposite.

Lol yeah I thought the same

goddamn it’s so weird getting used to that new voice

nice to see some cool EX move properties

My headphones broke off into the jack socket, I have no sound. How bad is his voice?

Because in Kensou’s fantasy, he’s the hero and the hero always wears red.

Good trailer. MuiMui came out even better than I expected. One of her moves reminds of Dong Hwan’s Kuusa-jin from MOTW, but on the whole she fights in a way that stands out from any other Chinese kung fu character I’ve seen from SNK. Which is good if SNK ever wants to bring Xiangfei back since no one can claim they are move-set clones.

Kukri… he has style. I have to wonder though if he’s going to be a hard character to master. His moveset looks huge even based off of the snippet from the trailer, and a lot of his techniques seem to be based around countering and evading. Those aren’t the type of characters that I’m very good with, but I’d be willing to learn in this case.

his voice sounds pretty cool to me. it’s a little more low pitched than i’d expect from the face and hair. but when he screams and yells it has a cool edge to it that seems to fit his looks. Kinda like adult link in ocarina of time but maybe a little lower in pitch.

and Iori, when he gets hit, he sounds really similar to Kraken from Power Stone when Kraken gets hit.

Been at work for much longer than anticipated (Admin is a both a blessing and a curse).
Seeing a lot of good things from this thread discussion though!

GGs Emil.

You raped me pretty freely but…we at least I didn’t get OCV’ed I guess.

I don’t think I have any business playing a KOF game much less KOFXIV when it drops. I’m completely out of my element and suck badly.

Its ok man,im casual at best when it comes to kof,and i’v been playing for years.GRANTED I play offline, we can learn to get good together if you want. fightcade:caveof$shes
Kof is a FRANCHISE you play for fun first and every other reason is secondery :).

I dunno, Emil has and still beats me pretty easily. I have to do my best usually to take games from him. If anything, I like playing against him to learn how to get better since he plays super solidly most of the time. Playing against Emil is a litmus test of how solid you are as a KOF player.

Also, nigga, ReoGeoSRK. Let me ask you, are you even proactively taking steps to get better at KOF? Are you applying anything you’ve seen from DandyJ’s or my tutorials? If there is one aspect blowing you up, are you focusing on that one concept and trying to get better at applying it? I mean, I was worse off than you when I started playing KOF. I am where I am now because I stopped, looked around, and applied each tiny concept until I got decent at it, then put everything together for the whole picture.

If you are where you are at your current skill level and quit here, you don’t have the heart or the drive as a competitor. Simple as that. Again, I was much worse off when I started. I had more heart to push forward and get better; and I still have much further to get to the level of Xiaohai and beyond. You don’t have the heart, the vision, nor the tenacity to keep going. That is my merit as a player and as a person. Do you have it?

Emil got me as well. I can only seem to beat him once or twice in a row after every 5 to 10 matches… He also exposed me for my bad defensive maneuvers. We began playing on 02UM around this time last year. Extremely gifted player.

Also… slightly irrelevant but I found this funny.

with fighting games, youre gonna lose a whole lot before you start winning. don’t give up sir. if you truly like the game. though if you’re interested, i can help get you into garou

I’m disappointed, they never showed off the follow-up for Leona’s D-grand saber. I’m pretty sure I saw her do it once or twice in the PS arena gameplay. I was curious if she would be able to cancel the follow-up into V-Slasher. Also the should have made ex Baltic launcher the version were she leaps forward and crosses up grounded opponents.

Robert can only combo off of the ex command grab and that makes me sad. Rip '98 Robert. Also I cried when the player dropped the ex Ranbu. I wanted to see it so bad.

Disappointed in Billy’s climax dm. Was hoping it would be the move were his pole divides into many and then he slams the opponent. Hope he can still do 2B>2B>2B>vault jump> upward extend

King is more or less how I want her(except she doesn’t have air fireballs)

Kyo’s new low rekka mixup looks scary. Now, if you block a qcfA, you are officially in Vottex city.

As for Iori, are is the rekka loop alive and well? If he can combo Ex rekka into another ex rekka, it might just be. Hide the women and children. Top tier Iori is back on the loose

I don’t care about any of the other characters

Also, I’m pretty sure that at one point, I saw someone do a max dm, without being in max mode(ala XIII). If I saw correctly, then this opens up a very interesting trade off. Doing max dms out of max mode could be good for catching opponents off or capitalizing on a stray counter hit or anti air. While doing a dm in mode can be more rewarding because of the increase in combo potential via ex moves. However in the case that you aren’t hit confirming into max mode and are instead going into max mode preemptivly, you are all but telling you’re opponent, ā€œhey get ready for this dmā€. Which could be a good think if you are just trying to scare your opponent into playing defensive.
