Will we ever see Riot of the Blood Iori as a standalone character again?
>>342626989
First for Mian is NOT for lewd!
>>342627964
Kula is for lewd
>>342628142
Wish I could get off beating her.
Are there ryona JAVs I wonder.
Don't mind me posting best Athena.
>>342628385
>Kingdom Hearts 4.jpeg
>>342628142
That's because she is an ice cream slut. Mian is pure and virginal and wants to show you her smile.
>>342628469
They're honestly really bad designs and look completely out of place in KoF. They look like they'd belong in a more generically animu game like Tales or Star Ocean.
>>342628539
I want to protect Mian's smile.
>>342628642
That is modern fashion trends, just like how it used to be everyone new in leather and tight clothes.
>>342628642
Not really. There are worse designs then that.
>>342628709
Not if I protect it first, faggot.
>>342628908
I honestly think Falcoon's worst MI designs are better than Pillow Fag & Chuuni: The Character.
>>342629085
Well. It's Falcoon after all. Hard to top that guy in terms of bad designs.
>>342628709
>>342628956
>implying you are good enough to receive her smile
>>342629085
>>342629395
We're posting Falcoon now? Here, have someBlue Mary.
>>342630005
I liked that one.
It's silly and doesn't fit Blue Mary at all. But still.
>>342629085
pillow boy is cute
>>342629395
I think his art and his design tastes have matured a little judging from what he posts on his Twitter, but there's no way he'll get involved with SNK again.
>>342630005
>>342630135
OK then.
>>342630135
The only good things to ever come out of Falcoon's designs were Another Mai and Chae Lim.
>>342630187
CUTE
Dumping a Falcoon artbook.

>>342630598
>Implying Mai doesn't need a DFC to bully her
>>342630509
I want to see him turn the two fuccbois into something worthwhile, but since SNK characters must always be static one-notes I'm certain chuuniboy will just turn out like K'.
>>342630745
Probably going to end up worse and even more cliched than K' desu sempai.
>>342630713
>ready for the gay bar after this match
>>342630256
What about Lien?
>>342630939
Well, Falcoon is gay so...?
>>342630256
Lilly alt costume was adorable
>>342631103
It's okay.
>>342630394
Luise was actually not all that bad as well. Titty Britty was pretty good too and I wouldn't mind either one showing up in a real KoF barring Luise's weird alien spook shit.
>>342631308
Lien had a weird moveset though... She would have to get reworked a little to be in a 2D game.
Luise & Duke especially cuold be in KOF XV with little change, except maybe the command for Luise's grab DM.
>>342631103
It's one of the only designs SNK has actively acknowledged, since she appears in the clock tower stage in KOF XIII with that costume.
>>342630995
Lien is a two-bit mercenary agent whose only defining feature was her bust being unconfined by her jumpsuit. We already have Vanessa.
>>342631641
>Somebody couldn't handle "REQUESTING BACK-UP!" OTG shenanigans
>>342630713
That Saisyu themed one is cool. He also looks good with Yuki's jacket, but I think it would look better with dark hair.
Iori with Setsuna's outfit was cool too, but again, I would prefer his natural hair color. K' with that outfit would be perfect.
what happened to the stream?

>thread has already become an image dump
>>342631785
I think SNKP went with Iori because facially Iori & Setsuna are identical. Like how Rock Howard got a Kaede outfit.
>>342631917
Half the costumes in Maximum Impact were just loud references to other SNK characters.
>>342631929

>>342632015

I hope that if she ever becomes playable again that they use this design instead of the red dress.
>>342632038
>Defending Ash Crimson
I'm not doing that, you idiot. I just hate when people go "hurr durr shun'ei and meitenkun look out of place :(" when we have characters like Ash, K', Nameless and KoD around.
>>342632101

Gotta love her.
>>342628642
The random folded up pant leg aside, I don't really mind Shun'ei's design too much. Not amazing but the jacket cape thing looks nice in motion. Meitenkun looks fucking weird though.
The zaniness of their designs stands out even more when put next to a really stoic design like Tung's too.
>>342632385
Indeed.
>>342629586
You're all getting the ugly angry mask and you'll like it!
>>342632101
What a gal
>>342630256
Duke was alright too.
>>342630745
You never know, their designs and even moves (Kyo 95 -> 96) could change a bit between games.
If they get better alternate DLC outfits, make sure to buy those so hopefully they'll help drive changes in the sequels.
>>342632242
Agreed.
KoD is everything wrong with "Outlaw" wrestling promotions like Lucha Underground rolled into a single character.
K' is literally a recolored sprite hack of a character from the game set in a post-apocalyptic future called Daraku Tenshi.
Nameless is a design-by-committee replacement for an (Arguably) better design because Eolith said "LOL Copyright Laws".Ash is Falcoon's husbando.
>>342632428
I thought that rolled up jeans on one leg was old dusty 00s fashion. Remember 50cent?
But then hipsters roll up both legs with their jeans like in the 80s.
Shuun'ei is fashion disaster.
>>342632796
>because Eolith said "LOL Copyright Laws".
Wasn't the guy who made Tetsuo totally okay with K9999 existing, though?
FUCK YOU
>>342632980
WHO ARE YOU
>>342632902
Yeah, but SNKP didn't want to deal with it. Same reason why Angel didn't show up in KOF games until XIV.
>>342633115
YOUR PROM DATE YOU SACK OF SHIT
I'm pretty hype for playing Angel in XIV.
>>342632287
>Another Jivatma is a moth girl
uh
>>342633613
That's good anon.
>>342633630
Considering that Jivatma was technically a parasite inhabiting someone's body, I don't think it's out of line to see "Him" in a female body if he thought that it was more powerful than what he had.
>>342633959
My team is probably going to be Angel, KoD & Geese at first. Maybe pick Mai back up (Mained her in almost everything except XIII), try out Terry and Mui-Mui.
>>342632287

>>342634816
I have it, but I can't immediately find it. I imagine it's a scrapped intro animation of some sort. Wouldn't be surprising since Angel is as lewd 'n' crude as they come.
>>342632902
SNK pretty much hates everything from the Eolith days.
Leona
>>342636543
>they brought back Angel
'no'
>>342636673
Because they wanted to appeal to Mexicans. If they didn't realize the large burrito fanbase they have they wouldn't have brought her back.

Fuck off already.
>>342636871
I don't see what's wrong with it.

>>342636543

Aw fuck, she was a fucking pain the ass to fight in MI:RA because everything she does OTGs and her teleports are strong.

kek.
>>342628385
From this pic alone with no context (and if I didn't already know the two characters), I'd never be able to guess it's from a kof game. Does look like a JRPG.
Only two new characters that really disappointed me so far, especially since they're the new mains. They're tied traight to Tung, so they should look somewhat like Fatal Fury characters.
Gang-Il and Luong are tied to Kim and they pull it off right.
>watching kof14 stream
>nobody play with ralf
okay
>>342642015
What about Xanadu?
>>342642015
I think Oda mentioned in an interview that they let a new young designer design the new main characters.
I feel like doing an KOF14 infographic chart for new players, but what should I put?
Newbs always ask about hops and execution in KOF, but what else?
>>342642015
Wait, Shun'ei is the new hero character?
>>342630187
>>342630315
I want the pillow boy to be my daki.
>>342628385
admittedly, with no context, this really fucking looks like a screenshot from a jrpg cutscene
>>342630892
man, K' could be legitimately cool with slight personality tweaks
but he'd risk being too similar to a tamer Iori maybe
>>342636543
I think they just didn't like KOF 2001, and that's entirely okay, it being kind of bad and all.
>>342642484
Well, what does the DandyJ video go over?
>>342642363
that would explain why in that leaked roster picture his drawing stands out amongst the others on that leaked roster
>>342642209
He's cool.
Wacky and ugly, while still creepy and intimidating, just like Chang and Choi.
His wackyness also reminds me of the earlier FF/AOF/Samsho characters. SNK was a litle more insane pre 1995.
>>342642489
Yeah, China Team is the new Hero Team.
Holy shit KoF hasn't even started and they're already like
>LEL PS2 GRAPHX
>DREAMCAST XD
>>342642605
Usage of the different hops and mixing them up, the "triangle system" (hop > low > antiair > hop), playing defensively and offensively, some OS.
>>342642363
Holy shit, it shows. This is a 2016 main character...
>>342642917
...and this is a 1991 main character.
When did young, overdesigned pieces of shit with over-the-top powers become the norm?
>>342643014
I blame anime
>>342642489
Yes. That's why he's on the box art.
>>342642506
I think too that K9999 was considered to be too much of a homage to Tetsuo... Like, if he had the same VA & personality but with Nameless's design and moves he would still be in KOF games IMO.
>>342642741
This is why I always say "Graphics matter when it comes to fighting games".
>>342642847
I used to have a little logo that showcased that system, but lost it.
>>342642917
>>342643014
I think it's the color choices and too much detail more than anything. That and there's too much "Zazz" in Chuuni's design for my tastes.
>>342643139
>This is why I always say "Graphics matter when it comes to fighting games".
The issue is that the graphics have vastly improved since that first horrendous trailer, but everyone is still taking the piss out of it.
>>342643014
Like >>342643121 said, blame anime. Several KoF characters are inspired by the anime of the time and other media. Designs started going towards what they are now in the 00s.
>>342643348
>>342643294
animation still sucks in places, but I can't really complain about the look otherwise
>>342643294
>>342643139
Character designs do matter more than graphic quality though.
Look at VF.
>>342643294
Americans love to shit on KOF as "That Street Fighter Rip-Off Mexicans play".
>>342643503
VF5's final update only got played because Japan creamed itself when Jean Kujo got revealed, then realized how broken the Sumo Wrestler was.

>tfw Geese is here specifically to beat the shit out of Antanov and take his rightful throne as the king of fighters
mui mui looks terrifying
>>342643903
The decline happened much earlier than that, just look at he who doesn't exist.It actually started in 99 imo, but I can understand why people like K' and friends
>>342644209
What do you think FS means anon.
That said VF's designs are fine, but people who like old kung fu movies or martial arts in general will like the series alot more compared to others who dont think its flashy enough in comparison to tekken or SF.
>>342642741
Come back to the atlus chat, anon. They're hosting the stream.
>>342644212
>>342643949
Wasn't it said somewhere that Antonov is THE king of fighters?
I wonder how that will tie up with Geese.
Is it just me or is the stream laggy as fuck?
Also hellpockets has shit taste.
>>342644472
What did hellpockets do now.
And yea CEO's quality is kinda shit.
>>342644469
We don't know Antonov's story. All we know is he's the tournament's sponsor this year.
>>342644469
>Geese: i heard you saying you were the king of fighters like i wouldn't find out
Nakoruru looks sick
>>342643903
This is probably somewhat of an unwanted opinion in this thread, but I strongly feel like SNK's shortcoming with XIV is they fell for the typical 2d>3d transition trap in a series that has an established "look," which is using 3d as an excuse to go "all out" on detail. As a result, you end up with characters that look like they would never belong in a KOF game because they just wouldn't translate to 2d well due to the elaborate nature of their costumes or animations. I think that's one area SFV surpasses XIV: I could believe every new character (except Necalli) could have been from a 2d Streetfighter, but I'd never assume Sylvie, Xanadu, or the Bean Team was from KOF.
>>342644368
I cannot stand K'. He tries exceptionally too hard to be cool, aloof and uncaring, and he comes across as a straight-up unlikeable cunt who can't rock the "too cool for school" angle like Terry can.
>>342644472
>hates Yuri

>>342645370

>>342645083
But the old characters still look pretty much as they always have. Look at Team Fatal Fury. The main change is that Terry has a bigger jacket, but still. I'm not sure "Does this look fine as a 2D sprite?" is a decent-enough measure of character design for a fighter.
>>342645108
only thing wrong (it's a major enough aspect of him by itself though) with K' is his design in my opinion, it would've fit back when 99/00 were supposed to be set in the future as originally planned but that never happened. His moveset is pretty much loaded with personality and is actually fun on top of that, doesn't bother me too much what type of personality that happens to be personally
moveset-wise Terry has always been my least favorite of the traditional Fatal Fury team lineup, for that reason alone I don't think I've ever liked Terry as much as everyone else seems to.
>>342642917
I want to see pillow boy in action, but I'm fine with him for now.
As for Shun'ei, I like his design overall. Maybe it's the overuse of "modern cool accessories" that makes him look a bit too much, but without the headphones, necktie and folded up pant leg, he looks okay.
Also, I like how he seems to have references from JJBA and how one of his special moves is basically Aurora Execution from Saint Seiya.
>>342644036
>>342644609
SNK wiki is claiming that Antonov bought out the rights to the King of Fighters name from a bunch of copycats, calls up a press conference in Sochi's Olympic Stadium, declares himself "The First KOF Champion" (Which explaims the belt he's wearing) and announces a new tournament.
>>342643897
>>342642741
Sometimes it's pretty amusing watching all of these people in chat out themselves as never having played a fighting game.
>>342645678
I like Terry's moveset because, like most main character movesets, it's well-rounded, does a little of everything, and covers all his bases. Terry almost always has an answer for anything.
>>342646034
Except crouchblocking
Post all the waifus you want.

>tfw 2k2um Terry has 2 overheads but isnt top tier because his name doesnt begin with K
>>342646034
Being an all-rounder isn't all that unique in KOF though
>>342646189
What's Shen doing by himself? That's a weird pose.
>>342645108
He has his chill moments, like wearing a hawaiian shirt in his XIII ending.
It's not his personality that bothers me, but his design and backstory.
One thing I liked about FF/AOF/KOF characters felt like they belonged in their respective eras, which made the games feel like they were happening NOW (well, then).
Then comes K' and his sci fi friends, and it really doesn't feel like 1999 at all and all the classic characters look out of place next to them. Had NESTS taken place in the actual future, I probably wouldn't mind it as much.
>>342645919
"The First KOF Champion"
I guess AOF2 doesn't count for KOF canon then.
>>342646667
K' can apply pressure like nobody's business in 2K2UM and has a lot of options to keep opponents out of close range though.
>>342646835
Oh, you.
>>342643798
They already did. It was called PS+.
>>342647005
>I guess AOF2 doesn't count for KOF canon then.
Or maybe Antonov just doesn't give a shit.
Hell, I can totally see him doing it on purpose to get Geese to participate.
>>342647005
Oh it does feel like it was made in 1999 though. Remember when everyone was prepared for the new millennium and everything looked clean and shiny and high-tech?
>>342647005
It's more like Antonov is a pro-wrestler christening a new title for a company that just shut down every one of their rivals.
Hellpockets:
>Nobody likes Shingo
I hope he's not being serious
>>342647272
Wow hellpockets IS fucking shit
I wonder how one would feel after getting shitstomped by xiaohai
>this fucking backround noise
>>342647426
As I said earlier, he's got shit taste.
>>342647272
But Shingo tries his hardest!
We still need to see a few newcomers, but I liked the ones I saw until now.
Luong and Gang Il feel like good options to be in a team with Kim.
Xanadu is just as crazy and goof as Chang and Choi.
Geese with his henchman and buttler also sounds okay.
Mui Mui fits better than I expected.
Nelson and Bandeiras are fun.
The new protagonists and official invitation team are the most outstanding ones, but let's what their roles in the game will be.
What's the name of that one TRAP boss from KOF 10 or 11(I think)?
Nakoruru looks like she's gonna annoy the shit out of people
>>342647935

>>342647935
Shion.
>>342648070

>hating on Shingo
how is this allowed?
I want Shingo to befriend some Kyo clones and team up with them.It would be funny if they were his fanboys or something, I just want to see Kyo getting pissed off.

>kyo clones
>fans of shingo
Not even K' likes shingo.
The only people in the Orochi and Nests main stories who like shingo are Goro (respects his perserverance, though considers Shingo's pride to be his downfall) and Saishu (recognizes his fighting talent, but in doing so, is also running a gambit to slap kyo's shit, which he will enjoy). Beni doesn't "dislike" him, but he mostly only thinks of Shingo as a joke. Chizuru seems rather neutral towards him. Everyone else related to orochi and nests either hates him or doesn't like being around him.
Oddly enough, everyone else either finds him either "alright" or "kind of annoying" at worst. Hell, I think even in-canon Mai offered to give Shingo advice about shiranui flames, but he refused (like a dumbass), hoping to make them on his own.

Ninja gunpowder flames are not shooting flames from your hands
>>342649679
>Like a dumbass
There's a difference between a dumbass and having self confidence, anon.
>>342649679
ouch, I want him to come back with his own team even more now.
SNK could at least make that Kyo cosplayer female his girlfriend.
>>342645083
I don't think there is anything wrong with Nelson and Bandeiras. Nelson is just a boxer and Bandeiras is just a ninja an archetype that has been explored like 10 times by SNK.
And Xanadu is the best newcomer

>shitting on shingo when he was able hold orochi iori off solo without dying
The man deserves respect.
>>342650003
