we've had some great kof threads for the past few days, let's have another.
please read these before you turn the thread into another circle jerk of how bad the graphics are or about what your favorite kof is.

What's the point of "circlejerking" a fact anyone can see?
>>319877691
Why is Iori such a douchebag? He literally he has no reason to act the way he is, unless SNK is hiding the fact his uncle touched him when he was a child.
>does iori even have his flame? coz i don't see it in the first video
>also dat lag
Any videos on the Climax DMs?
or they are treating old DMs as the Ultimate Supers?
I refuse to believe Kula's Icecle is her Ultimate Move in XIV.

Internal blood feud with the Kusanagi clan. He's trying to do the Jap equivalent of an Honor Killing because his dad said so.
https://youtu.be/mMS89UXqYI8
When are we finally getting this glorious fuckhead back?
>>319877960
He's cursed to die young. Also has beef with the Kusanagi clan going a long way back. Mature and Vice are always on his back, as well. He killed them and they're still on his back. Being Iori is suffering.
>>319878370
Iori has said he hates Kyo out his own volition, he doesn't care about the centuries long feud.
Also he is an ass towards everyone.
>>319878764
>He killed them and they're still on his back
Iori killed them in a fit of madness, falling into the Riot of Blood.
The dude wasn't in a position to refuse them in XIII.
1.Is this a dreammatch game?
2.Release date?
>>319879009
1. No
2. Still no precise date beyond "TBA 2016"; it could be in the first Semester though since they have just said the game is 70% complete.
There are people here who prefer Orochi Chris, Shermie and Yashiro movesets to Regular Chris, Shermie and Yashiro movesets.
>>319879219
why not both?
>>319879219
orochi chris is stupid though, and some people like grapplers so there's orochi yashiro for that
>>319878997
>>319878764
don't forget that his xiii team ending had him able to free himself from the curse at the cost of never getting his flames back. he chose the flames specifically so he could keep going after kyo despite the fact that he fought just fine without them. that boy is too far gone.
>>319877756
because people like to shit up threads i guess.
I want to play KoF but I don't want to spend any money.
I have a high-end PC.
Which is the best version to emulate?
Pirating KoF 13 is not an option. Not looking to download for days.
>>319879219
Well yeah, Yashiro ans Shermie could be argued, but if you prefer Chris over Orochi Chris you must have brain problems.
>>319879462
download the old neo geo games, you can run 94-2003 on any mame emulator in the world and they all run on toasters.
>>319879540
both chris are fine. hell normal chris is pretty great. they aren't in a lot of games to begin with anyway because lol canon.
>>319879462
>Not looking to download for days.
How slow is your internet connection?
KoF XIII is like 2GB.
>>319879723
>Time Warner internet
>Wireless
>Live in basement
>router is about 6 years old
i can go on.
The videos with people playing as Leona, they suck so bad.
>>319881070
i imagine very few of the people playing are anything but just guests/casual players stopping by to check out an upcoming release, which is fine but doesn't get to show the character much. the impressions from laban are pretty extensive at least.

3 Voice Actress now, still sounds annoying.
It's someone's fetish at this point.
>>319881215
so is angel going to get a new moveset like robert and ralf tend to do? i can't imagine they'll keep her complex moveset if they want to streamline the game. they already toned her down a lot in 02 um.
>>319881215
>White-haired mexican.
Japan only sees Russians and Magical Snowflakes this way.
>>319881830
good thing angel was designed by koreans then.
>>319881890
Korean Artists are mimics to Japanese ones.

hearing kyo say this during his grab HSDM thing from the nests games was so fucking hype. like he was stealing his rival's catchprhase and making it his own.
>>319882387
I thought that was a neat touch too.
BALD EAGLEAMAZING
>>319882265
What does he mean by this?
>>319881685
>Haruko
>annoying
>>319881807
I hope not, sure she was complex but her moveset is so unique and fun that all the hard work you put in is worth it.
Kinda random how some characters are getting looks updated while others are steering towards their '97 days.
Ralf, King and Billy are dressed like their old selves, although Ralf is still kinda McLarge and King is her slender self.
>>319883290
I'll miss roid rage Ralf from XIII. That and the old man jokes.
At least Leona kept the skintight tanktop. Unf.
>>319883282
>Haruko
>not annoying
It IS someone's fetish at this point, Nonon was just 2 years ago.
>>319883432
Ralf is still Roid Rage, just not 100% anymore, he is around 80% now.
>>319883480
Well whoever it is I'd like to thank them for introducing me to this fetish.
Honestly though I've always found nasally voices like Haruko's cute for some reason.
On a more gameplay related note. What do you guys predict they'll do with Angel gameplay wise? Do you think they'll give her less unchain routes or will they keep them the same?Or will they completely rework her?
>>319884135
Right now everyone looks very much the same but with one or two new moves. I sincerely doubt Angel will change much.
I kinda want to get into KoF but have absolutely no idea where to start. Is XIII on steam any good or should I look elsewhere?
Is Robert a good starting character? I kinda want to play himbecause I share his name and am autistic enough for it to be reason alone. Again, I have absolutely no clue about this series so any help would be greatly appreciated.
>>319877960
He is destined to die before he reaches his 30. But KOF timeline is fucked up.
>tfw live in tacoland
>still arcades to play 2002/XIII
The only good thing about this shithole

>>319884778
98UM, 02UM and XIII are all on Steam. Pick whichever one clicks with you and stick with it, they're all good.
I was never able to get into KOF. I literally just copied other people combos and just do them every match. That's really not something fun, and not only talking about KOF but about every fighting game. How do you guys deal with it?
>>319884821
Iori will never reach 30 though, KOF has frozen its timeline after '97.
New events and arcs will happen but no one will age a day.
>>319885092
Realise there's more to fighting games than starting a combo. Let me guess, SF4 was your first fighting game?
>>319886231
No, KOF 97.
Friend tried out KoF98:UM and 02:UM and called them clunky but says SFIV is smooth. What a world.
>>319886815
KoF 98 is one of the fighting games I would definitely say is clunky. Can't speak for UM though.
>>319884135
She'll probably be streamlined for casuals. I can see them making her unchains into generic rekkas but with directional inputs instead of the usual.
>>319886892
Pls no.
I even like rekkas but if they turn Angel into a rekka character it'll make me so sad.
Either way some anon already mentioned that all the characters so far are mostly the same with some new/returning moves added into the mix, with that said I could see Angel being a special case since it's no secret she's a pretty complex character.
