>>344473865
not sure
I'm sure this is the build that will be playable at EVO
>>344473865
Skimmed through the video, and nope. They did show Mian and Zarina. Anyone here know french and know if they said anything new? My french is horrible as is my Jap.

>>344478940
Most fun so far. For me terry's initial reveal trailer made me shriek like a little girl, Geese's made me feel nostalgia with all the references. The FF and AoF were the most anticipated for me, Villains team confused and scared me a little because of Xanadu, Official invitation trailer left me speechless because of Mian, and Mexico team has been the most fun. I wonder what the geese trailer will make me feel.
>>344479492
Oda literally says their intention was the opposite.
>Oda: "We've certainly balanced KOF14 to make its competitive aspect fun as a fighting game. But we need to keep in mind that over 90 percent of the players don't attend tournaments; they're all enjoying their games by having fun mashing at home. The first and foremost important thing is that we make it fun for them to play. The competitive aspect comes after that."

Yeah and Capcom's "intention" was the opposite too and we still got Cuck Fighter V. It's okay we don't need KOF anymore because Mai is coming to DOA, a fighting series that knows how to treat its fans. All of the real SNK fans will just go over and play DOA and leave the Capcucks and esports faggots with XIV.

>>344480558
Both Kyo and K' have been in every game since their debuts, there's no reason for them to be shafted. SNK would lose a huge chunk of the playerbase without familiar faces.

So the AoF, FF, Psycho soldier, Ikari warrior characters that KoF was literally created for the sake of them fighting each other along with the Japan team, and Iori who were the new protagonists of the series are literally whos and are not fan favorites?
>>344483896

Fatal Fury and AOF are prequels to KOF. You'd know that if you weren't neo-/v/ shitters who hopped on the KOF bandwagon because MUH ESPORTS.
>>344484061
No, those are casualfag characters. Like the shotos and SF2 characters in Street Fighter. Nobody actually plays them or wants them, they want characters like Q, Makoto, Alex, Ibuki, Urien, Karin and Juri.
>>344478449
Luong instead of Kyo.
Luong has been super popular and done well in every exhibition tournament and general casuals.
>>344484186

Not really seeing the potential for it with this cast, honestly. I mean I guess they could do Kyo-K'-Shun'ei as a Protagonist Team and Mai-Andy-Bandeiras as some sort of ninja team but that's it.

Are you serious? Many of the Secret Teams are possible to make in XIV if SNK just wants to.
- SNK Protagonists Team = Ryo, Terry, Kyo
- Classic Characters Team = Ralf, Clark, Athena
- Unrequited Love Team = Robert, Ramon, Kensou
- Giants Team = Chang, Maxima, Goro
- NESTS Team = Angel, Kula, K'
Hell, and those are they only ones I'm bothering to type right now, there could even be new Secret Teams, like "Mascots Team = Terry, Athena, Nakoruru".

>>344494004
>>344494013
but XIV was being made long before the chinks aquired SNK
>>344482189
It looks weird as fuck. Maybe I'm just used to mai already, but this bitch seems odd the rails waifu bait. Also when the fuck are they going to have decent skin materials and renderer that doesn't make all characters look like crap plastic toys
>>344494004
China didn't give them jack anon. If they did the game wouldn't be what it is. A good chunk of the game was already done before the buyout.
>>344494415
Please look forward for King of Fighters XVII on PlayStation 5.
>>344493634
We have yet to see. More content quantity doesn't guarantee good quality at all... SFV has fewer characters but each of them looks like much more work went into the models, animations, everything. The only thing to complain about was odd looking hair implementation. KOF one month from release still looks like pre alpha
>>344494906
>KOF one month from release still looks like pre alpha
>pre alpha
Let's not exaggerate.
>>344494906
SFV models are inconsistent as fuck because shit is outsourced to various freelance modellers. Atleast KoF14 looks consistent.
>>344494906
It's also worth saying that SFV eventually got more content and will continue to get more, although it's highly subjective if the content they've given is worth the wait or not.
>>344494763
I don't think it will take that long. I hope.
>>344495013

That anon has been shitting on Capcom all thread too though, saying that XIV is the same as SFV. This paranoia about Capcom really needs to stop pervading these threads.
>mai gets into DoA

>>344495335
It's funny that he calls it Neo-SNK especially because the guy spearheading the game, Oda, is a dev from the old Fatal Fury days.
>>344495491
It was kinda obvious.
Leona is best girl tough.
>>344495491
>>344495649
Mai is the original kunoichi of fighting games so she fits perfectly in.
>>344494076
It started planning before, but it was completed with chink money.
Just like Bayonetta 2 actually started as normal with SEGA's money but it was halted, only coming back and getting finished with Nintendo's money.
>>344495491
That was Harada (tekken). He said he would get Geese if he could. Since SNK gave Mai to the DoA devs maybe Harada getting Geese is not too outlandish.
>>344486260
Is there any fighter girls with 100+cm tits?
>>344494906
SFV models like shit. The only models that look good are the girls, or at least their faces do.
>>344496436
>or at least their faces do.
Karin and Ibuki look fucking awful.
The only reason SFV looks any kind of decent is the lighting, which is courtesy of UE4.
>>344496148
Not that I remember, not even all japanese fighters have known official measurements, you could guess some have that much boobage, like Arcana Heart 3's final boss, that bitch definitely is above the hundread scale.
>>344496635
The lightning in SFV is atrocious. Some stages don't even have proper shadows. It's the animations that save SF. That's the strength of SFV visuals. Some models like Chun Li looks nice too but then there are abominations like Banana Ken and Hedgehog Ryu and Happy Meal Alex.

So graphics in a fighting game aren't all that important, but is there a reason why this game looks like dog shit. I realize they probably didn't have much of a budget but what the fuck.
Here's hoping they actually managed to make the online decent this time.
Anyone pick their teams yet?
>>344499132
Their priority was in the fight system, the netplay, and the character quantity.
They know the game doesn't look beautiful (honestly though it looks way better than the first trailer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1anpA7ZTvQ ), but their budget was low, and they decided to make their own engine, instead of something like Unreal 4. They were aware that by making their own engine and moving to 3D, the visual quality wouldn't be great, but it'll be better in the long run to train their staff in 3D games, as 2D just isn't viable for them atm.
>>344499132
Well a shit budget is part of the reason. You can only put so much time and effort into each character of a 50 character game if you have a relatively shit budget.Fuck SNK barely made a 2 million dollar profit in 2015, they were hemorrhaging money before thatNot to mention SNK has always been kinda shit with 3D. As well as them using their own engine made from scratch, which means that they are still figuring shit out and lighting would be dubious at first. There's people who say that they should have used UE4, but the thing with that is that yes, it's relatively cheap to use for a single game, but when it comes to making multiple games (which the devs want and would do if XIV is successful) it gets expensive with the royalties they would have to pay on top of learning how to use it. Developing their own engine means that they can better it as it goes, on top of already knowing the ins and outs of it as well as not having to pay anyone royalties. Thus making it cheaper in the long run.
The newest build already seems to have all the menu options including the option for online, so that means they've been tinkering with it already. The game is already done and was only waiting for printing and rating classifications, which it already has. So have your fingers crossed anon.

Just googled koyadofu and it means freeze dried tofu. Maybe the southtown team theme will be the music in the first half of the Geese reveal trailer.
What if Billy and Hein fight first and when it finally gets down to geese the main part of the theme kicks in and it's a remix of soy sauce for geese or something?

You don't need a source for that. Some reading comprehension is enough.

Ikari Warriors already fill this niche

I think it'll still be Hein third since he still hasn't been officially revealed despite being playable
>>344501661
Talking about ikari.
When is their trailer out?.

sometime in august
>>344503178
Thanks.
For whatever reason the trailer dates dont make sense to me.

In 4 weeks anon.
>>344503308
Team trailer every Thursday.
What's so hard to understand in that?
>tfw the 48-character build at evo means the team rrailers won't be as exciting outside of the bios
>>344504692
What are the chances of them just saying fuck it and releasing everything like when all 50 characters were revealed or just making a big character trailer?
>>344504912
well at least the next kof station should be out soon
there's a panel at evo too so I could see them revealing everything there
>>344504692
It's worthy trade I think. The trailers are still good at keeping buzz about the game going and works for those people who follow things enough to notice those trailers, but who don't follow scene closely enough to care about streams or such.
>>344504912
Still three big trailers incoming. One is surely the launch trailer, but the two in the middle can contain whatever.
>>344505652
I thought it was 2 big trailers and 3 webcasts.

I could see it being a last round theme.
>>344493634
>more content than SFV?
Is that even true at this stage? They've been adding stuff to sfv pretty regularly so I think they are about even. XIV will have more at launch but it is't competing with sfv at launch
>>344516764
You uncivilized plebe. Neutral is always the best and most exciting part of fighting games and KoF is good at making neutral matter over long anime combos or knockdown mixup bullshits.
I'm waiting, not only to get to play the game, but also to get see highest level of play.
>>344517204
SFV added a shitty story mode. That's it. The game still has some severe issues that haven't been fixed that shouldn't have been there at launch.
>>344517204
Still more characters, stages and gamemodes than SF V, no matter if you compare both games as they are at the end of August.
>>344517226
Lots of game have good neutral and the rest
>>344517308
>That's it
Well no they also added challenges, tutorials, loads of costumes, new stages and Ono said there is more coming
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2016/may/01/street-fighter-5-has-more-unannounced-offline-gameplay-content-according-yoshinori-ono/
>"Additionally, we're looking into adding a versus CPU mode, and more new unannounced gameplay content for offline players that will be made available for free throughout 2016 and beyond
It looks like the games are set to be about equal in terms of content, with sfv getting more stuff in the long term
>>344517315
>characters
This one true
>stages
Not at the rate SFV is adding them
>gamemodes
Can you post a list of all of them? Also see above
>>344517631
All those things is still less than launch KoF14. There are still less stages than KoF. The roster is still a third of that in KoF14. And in KoF14, you don't need to grind survival mode to unlock those characters. There are more modes like Time Attack and so on.
Promises is all Capcom and Ono are good at. They've released half a game and they have the balls to charge you money for you to content complete the game. Sure feels great paying 50k FM so the shitty waterfall stage doesn't look like a tumor.

>>344516764
I'm more concerned about the gameplay itself, which looks solid, but I do agree that things lack weight, visually.
I figure its just a matter of the team not having much experience with 3D.
As far as something like 'excitement' goes, I disagree. You seem to get a lot of mileage out of your bars in 14, so smart usage of meter can mean a lot to a round, especially when someone manages to get a clean hit when sitting on a full stick of butter.
That is enough for me to find the game interesting.
>>344516254
Is this comic referencing the fact that she has straight bangs?
>>344518637
>You seem to get a lot of mileage out of your bars in 14, so smart usage of meter can mean a lot to a round
I don't really find meter management especially exiting in this game compared to others, from the footage and streams I've seen people just generally had enough to do what they needed
On that note supers really look like ass here, they would look ten times better if they didn't constantly cut with each action. For one super it can be a neat thing but it makes them all lack impact and make me think of skullomania's super
>>344517631
Colors all available at the start
There's 18 stages plus training mode (usually in past games those have included transitions/day&night versions)
Games modes include:
Story- appears to be pick a team and follow their story.
Versus: includes player one vs player two and Player vs com
Training
Gallery: which includes artwork, music, and movies (whatever that may be)
Online: which includes ranked, lobbies(includes a shuffle mode), online training, party mode where 6 people can play each controlling one character
Mission- appears to be something akin to challenges
Tutorial
There's options for player data, and the PSN store (for classic Kyo and DLC if they decide to do it)
That's pretty all I know so far. I may have missed something.
>>344519160
So SFV
Also has colours including ones you work for and can buy
14 stages, with more shown off in the story including transitions
Multiple alts for all characters with colours
Survival mode
Story
Character Stories (with more added with each dlc character)
Vs (with vs cpu in the works)
Training
Challenges
Demonstrations
Tutorial
Online (with 2 less modes than you have there)
All the CFN stuff for tracking players replays etc
and the shop
So all in all, they are about even in terms of content in these modes, with SFV getting updates as time goes on and I assume they'll add to XIV in some way or use it as a base for XV. So declaring it is so much better cause it has heeps more content isn't really true, they both have a decent amount
>>344519575
Hey, man I'm not the other anon you were talking to, I just posted the game modes that I'M aware of, so don't put words in my mouth. Big difference between the games is as for XIV all that content is available at the start. All characters at the start, all colors at the start not just one or two, all stages at the start, everything else at the start. Nothing is locked behind money, fight money grinding, season passes or updates. They both went with different business models. Whether having everything available at the start or trickling it down is better I don't know. All I know is that people seem pissed at the way capcom handled things. I just want to play my game.
>>344519073
The thing is that in KOF14, you have one meter. No secondary resources.
You wanna go into max mode? That's a meter.
You want to use a super? That's a meter.
You getting pressured to hell and back? Okay, you can either Guard Cancel Blowback or Guard Cancel Roll to try getting out of pressure, but neither are infallible, and they are both a meter.
If you want to do some huge hail mary combo and burn all your meter, you have to be ready to have limited defense options afterwards, which can be really dangerous with how aggressive offense can be in KOF.
Meter can end up pretty abundant, but usually only in the later rounds, since losing a character gives you a meter and increases your meter cap and since people tend to put characters that are strong without or with very little meter first, so their later, more meter reliant, characters can burn them when they need to.
As far as cinematic cut stuff, I don't really see it outside of some of the big climax DMs and stuff like grab supers.
Everyone gets a zoom-in for the super pause of CDMs and the EX DMs, but that seems like a 3D fighting game standard at this point.
>>344520383
The thing a lot of people seem to miss though is we aren't at the start any more, we are 4(?) months in and that is the game KoF is being sold next to. Unlocking stuff is a good way to keep people interested, they like earning stuff though stuff like survival colours are a bit much and capcom have even said they are working on an alternative. Plus being able to get dlc for free is a great thing as is them doing all updates for free so you don't need to by super, ultra etc. You are purposefully twisting a negative when both games have a lot of positives
Plus adding stuff over time is a good way to get people coming back, it's part of the reason we have had SF threads since the game has launched cause people always want to talk about the new thing being added. The general opinion on SFV has shifted a lot, loads of threads recently have been asking if they should get it and the general opinion has become now that yes is in a good state to buy and cheaper now.
>>344520461
That's great, i am yet to see anyone really worry about spending meter though as it is earned pretty quick and you have a lot stored up even in earlier rounds. Maybe it is just cause early days but I have not seen the meter management been any more significant or hype than elsewhere
> I don't really see it outside of some of the big climax DMs
The ones I've seen keep using that choppy style, even Clark's that for no reason cuts to five different angles that don't look great and lose the impact. Most games don't do it like that at all, they'll have an elaborate animation that usually go on a bit long buy this has that and it doesn't even look well animated.
>>344520761
Well Like I said, I don't know which is better. What you seem to miss is that some people don't like the way capcom handled things. That's the way capcom is doing things with SF and this is the way SNK is doing things with KoF. In the past when SF released updates to SF like a super or ultra version SNK just made the next KoF and moved on with the plot. Capcom does their thing SNK does theirs. If what capcom is doing and people are feeling confident about it, then that's great. They are doing their own thing. Some people like one way better than the other and that's fine. Different strokes for different folks.
>>344521303
>What you seem to miss is that some people don't like the way capcom handled things.
You could say the same about SNK, it's not like all comments about the game have been positive even from a gameplay standpoint people have complained about stuff like the jumps. Meanwhile capcom have been improving a lot lately especially with communication and quicker fixes for stuff like that Ibuki grab
But yes you are right, and that was sort of my point that saying both games have a decent amount of stuff going on and this whole tribal war is silly
Anyone have those Sylvie and Kukri fanart mini comics?
>>344472728
>Not a nignog in that roster
No thanks.
>>344521591
If that was your point good for you then.
>>344521030
Clark's isn't too bad, though I could do without the repeat-the-slam-3-times thing.
When you mentioned Skullomania, I was thinking stuff like Angel and Yuri's Climax moves, which I think are pretty evocative of that sort of thing where it cuts to a completely different pose/attack after each hit, but for Clark's, everything seems like a singular action, barring the ending, which reminds me more of TvC Frank than anything else.
I do think they have the camera too damn close to everything during a lot of the climax moves, and I've noticed that they are doing goofy pose-at-the-end type stuff a lot more, which I'm not quite sure how I feel about yet.
>Most games don't do it like that at all
When I said "Everyone gets a zoom-in for the super pause of CDMs and the EX DMs, but that seems like a 3D fighting game standard at this point," I mean shit like pic related where it zooms in to the character during the super's activation, not the move proper. Damn near every 3D fighting game that isn't MK or KI does this, I'm pretty sure, even Tekken.
KOFXIV's animations are pretty mediocre, I agree, but that has more to do with the actual animation than the camera stuff.
