its probably going to be a weird feeling playing with the new Iori. He hasnt changed in years and now suddenly he does… Its going to be like having a phantom limb
Wow his slash really do remind me of Freeman.
I for one favor his change. (but hate Kyo’s)
Umm, they barely showed any moves. He doesnt look as aggressive or wild as I hoped.
To be fair, EVERYONE looks weak right now: Kyo doesn’t seem to have ANY Aragami chains; Shen gets hit out of his super for free; supers don’t even seem to combo, period. All that can be said with certainty is that it looks pretty.
…which is kinda sad, since that means we’re back to square one.
[storylinebs]being that what makes iori pretty much crazy is the fact that his flames are tainted by orochi, the entire idea that not having them any more would make him a lot more composed makes a lot of sense. he seems pretty much the same in general of fighting, but a lot of his slashing motions seem to be less wild and instead have a good deal of finesse – maybe he’s a little more clear-headed since he doesn’t have his crazy blood going cock-wild.[/storylinebs]

couple more vids at the guy’s account:
I’m happy with Kyo losing Aragami chains (which doesn’t mean he’s now weaker lol, after all Kusanagi was better than New Kyo in 2k2) and getting back his projectile; now that Iori is a fully close range fighter, Kyo going back to his OG fighting style sounds logical and adds a bit more variety to the cast.
Most of the players are ass anyway. The standard combo into command move into DM should always be in KoF no matter what though.
Yeah, but 2k2 Kyo’s RED kick was the shit!
For crying out loud, can they get someone to play the game that’s NOT a scrub? :mad:
When is it coming out???!!!
April 2009. Supposedly May for consoles (360/PS3, and if you belive Kotaku, PC).
I really can’t wait until I see the game for myself.
Random thoughts:
What happens when Iori’s qcb x 3 clashes?
I need more Andy.
Raiden isn’t as massive as I would’ve hoped.
What, 6 more slots left?
Ioris QCBx3 has been removed. The only reason Raiden doesnt seem as big as you thought, is because you are used to seeing him big. SNKP would have to make him almost twice as large for you to consider.
Is it just me or is anyone else losing the hype?!
I lost the hype the second I saw only Orochi saga + Ash saga characters with shitty throwback moves and dream match-style non storyline.
shit looks beautiful, can’t wait to play it
The only thing that makes me not be fully hyped is the clash system. Other than that everything is looking excellent and I can’t wait for more info.
Also, a link to the character illustrations and the poster I’ve found at s-c:
Oooooh. Reference. Thanks.
It looks great, but until someone good plays it, I won’t know how good. Geez. I’m no pro but at least I can make a fight interesting.
