Well, did they show off characters that have yet to debut on trailers?
>>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.
Well, dead thread is dead. See you when the trailer drops.

Ramon's animations look off to me. And his specials lack punch. Other than that I can't wait to get frustrated trying to learn Angel again.
>>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."
>>344479767
>Rock
Confirmed for Maximillian.
>>344479397
kek does anyone here ever believe any bootyblasted retard when they say they're "done"?
Autism and a love for buzzwords keeps 'em coming back.
>>344480146
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.
>>344479767
>Vanessa
KOF always gets a new boxer every saga. This is common knowledge

That's 2 characters at have nothing to do with the story at all. There's no reason they should return

Nah it's just one faggot who loves to give KoF threads free bumps.
>>344480212
Nope, it's fun bringing up how autistic they've gotten in the past before. I tried being friendly with him going as far as to empathize with him since I had no one to play with either when I was growing up, but then he went full retard. I'll be sure to play with yo guys when the game drops though. I refuse to end up bitter.
>>344480558
But they didnt keep Ash tho.

>>344480558
What do you think of the returning characters anon? The ones that KoF was literally conceived for the sole purpose for them fighting each other.
>>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.
>Comparing protagonists to characters that haven't been relevant to the plot in years

Yeah but Geese survived, this is not the Fatal Fury timeline where he died.
>>344483148
Wasn't she was literally sealed along with orochi on top of being dead? So her coming back would mean orochi coming back too?

1, he got hit by a Power Geyeser, not thrown
2, that only happened in the Fatal Fury timeline, not KOF's timeline

>They're the same fucking thing you retard holy shit.
Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting and King of Fighters have their own timeline.

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
You can and should have both. XIV just fuses them into one shitty mode instead of having them be separate.
>>344483921
>>344483962
>OMNOMNOM DADDY ODA YOUR COCK TASTES SO DELICIOUS
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
so nobody likes Mr. Manlet?
>>344483962
Not quite bro, don't be as wrong as him.
Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury, then Garou and Buriki One share one continuous timeline.
It's King of Fighters that follows its own path.
>>344484279
he hasn't been available in the demo builds yet
>>344484279
Nah, the only thing they say about him is forced "Is he DSP?" memes.

Only casuals play as Ryu, Ken, Guile and Zangief. The fan favorites are the Alpha and Third Strike characters. KOF is the same way, no actual fans play a Kyo, Iori or Ryo. Just casual shitters who want to button mash with shotos.

I hope you and Oda get kidnapped by Isis. Fucking faggot. None of you underage retards has any respect for the KOF characters or their history, designs or what they mean to the fans.

Since he's been training under Saisyu i've been expecting him to return
>>344486446
because of >>344486050
>>344485226
Maybe he saves it for situation where he would need to become someone else.
From the little I know for Luchador the mask isn't a trivial thing, it's a sign of identity.

Not quite the same. From what I know Nelson has definite 3 part chain, while Angel's thing is that she can have 1 to 3 UC moves in her chain.
>>344478940
Ramon's animations need polish but as a character he seems great.
>>344486779
Except for his weakness, a broken arm.
I just started the videos and the 48 character build has the menu seen in the game trailer a while back. It even has the option for online mode. Maybe they've been testing it already. I have my fingers crossed.
>>344488020
The game is ready already, of course they have internal versions with everything in it.
>>344488020
I really worry about the netcode. It's the one thing that will make or break the game.

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.
>>344491795
Oh, right might be that. I misunderstood.
>>344491859
Old unrequited love team is also back.
Kula, MuiMui and Nekoruru/Athena for pretty girls team.
Benimaru, Robert, Andy for team secondary characters.
And list goes on.
>>344491859
OG Women's Team - King, Mai, Yuri
OG Korea Team - Kim, Chang, Choi
Unrequited Love Team - Ramon, Robert, Kensou
2000 Hero Team - K', Maxima, Ramon
SNK Mascot Team - Terry, Athena, Nakoruru
>>344491859
>Not really seeing the potential for it with this cast
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".
Seriously dude, your post couldn't have been more wrong.

How come a small company like SNK is making fighting games with more content than SFV?
>>344493634
effort
>>344493449
With would be pretty weird for SNK not to jew on this opportunity.
>>344493634
China money
>>344493634
Pressure, the new Chinese overlords want the bought Japanese slaves to justify their purchase.
>>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
Ok, I did a bit. But anyways, my point is SFV trailers looked solid and launch was all shit. Kof aside from quantity looks sketchy so I'm going to hold on to any hype

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?

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.

>>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

>"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.
>>344478940
>mexico
>everyones white

>>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.
>>344505260
I ha a hunch the next KoF station will be out between this coming week and the one after that. No proof, just a feeling.
>>344499556
The Butler is definitely the first of the new characters I want to try.
Might add Mian as well and probably Iori
>>344499556
Impossible until I get my hands on the game.

>>Online will feature a 3on3 mode where 6 players each control a character when it's their turn. Same characters will be allowed
fantastic
>>344532173
Yep
It seems like a great way to ease newcomers into the game since they really only need to learn one character to play this mode
>>344532173
Further down he talks about how they're trying to come up with something for players to do while they're waiting their turn in the 3 on 3 mode. I'm hoping for a warm-up training room.
>>344531863
Sweet so it confirms some stuff we speculated and reiterates stuff that was out there.
here's what normal lobbies look like as well
>>344532356
I like seeing them go in-depth on their decision to go 3D and how straightforward he is about the matter.
>It was a bit surprising since KOF has always had a reputation of going 2D.
>Back in our days, the Neo Geo had restrictiona and we only had the option of going by pixel art. But even back then, there were high-quality 3D games like "Virtua Fighter", and it was certainly something I wanted to try if we had a good PCB. 2D pixel art is still something that remains as a culture, and I know there's a lot of people that like them. I like them too. But on the other hand as a developer, there's always the unconfortable feeling that there's no tomorrow if you can't keep up with the times, the progress, and new technology. So it's a hard decision.
>>344532173
It's cool but lets be real, it won't be used
Mian is cute!
>>344532832
I'm planning on using it to coach a friend. There's not much I can explain to him easily without a visual aid, but if he's able to spectate my matches and follow up against the same opponents it'll make some of the process much easier. Add in the online training mode and it'll make it a lot more fun to learn together.
They also talk in the article about how they hope that'll be a popular mode for livestreamers and the like, as more of a social feature.

>>344533294
>Forgettable
Nelson and Bandeiras were hugely popular.
But it's been so long since we first saw them, the hype's shifted to the characters we know nothing about, naturally.
>>344533336
I hope so too. They're talking a lot about trying to improve their online play so I'm feeling good about it.
>>344533378
I get what you're saying but the 3on3 format just seems like a really good fit to me. It evokes the feeling of having all of your friends in one room passing off the controller when their character comes up on their turn. I'm hoping everyone else likes the idea as much as I do.
>>344533470
Angel was literally on the ever second trailer, still with the bad shader, at Playstation Experience in 2015.

>So basically you were entrusted with the creation of "KOF XIV". How exactly did this happen betweem you and SNK Playmore?
>It happened in 2013. The CEO back at the time suddenly flipped his switch or something and said "We're gonna take back our Number 1 spot in [fighting] games again!" (laughs). So that was the start of everything and everyone came around, and so we ended up with a team of old and new staff. The project went in full throttle in spring of 2014.
>So that one word from the CEO got everyone fired up.
>Right. Of course I told him "it'll cost this and this, and the development time will take as long as this", but he still said "We're still gonna do it!", so I went "OK then, let's go!".

I cannot wait for the music to come out.

>tfw cant find any of 14's theme.
It's not an Arcade Release first, nor there is a Public Beta Build so obviously people can't get themes before the Game is out.
>>344536715
Ya I know, I am just so hyped with the music really.

A mankey because he used to have a pet monkey plus it's a fighting type.
>>344537051
I wonder what the remaining team themes that we haven't hear yet will sound like.
>>344539295
Here hoping we hear either Geese's theme or London fucking March.

That sounds pretty hype, specially if the final boss is a demon or a really superpowered being like saiki.

>>344541254
the final boss is supposed to be an alien of some sorts, IIRC
>>344541328
It's said to be non-human speces.
People just call it alien, as it's shorter, but I'm pretty sure it won't be from outer space, but instead be some kind of spiritual fantasy mumbo jumbo creature.

>If the Ash saga has been wiped from existence doesn't that mean Shingo's arm is better?
Man, people still get what happened wrong?
Ash did not erase everything that happened in his arc (2003, XI and XIII) from existence, he rearranged time and space so his and his family presence could never be acknowledged, history went by as if his whole lineage never existed, but some events did happen.
- Rose being brainwashed to host the 13th KOF still happened, Adelheid conforts the freed Rose in the end.
- Those From the Past somehow are aware their master, Saiki, got defeated even though he supposedly never existed now, they regroup at the end, Shion from XI is seen there.
- Elizabeth's attachment to Ash was so great he still cried for him after he rewrote himself out of reality, his headband flew on betty's hands, she keepts herself attached to it, feeling she lost someone dear to her, crying in mourning.
>>344546915
hope that means they are gonna upgrade the game toi the ps2 version with 3d BGs and remastered music.
also, i hope SNK makes more ports of their non-neogeo games.

mainly for more historic purposes.
no game should be left forgotten, even if there are better games.
there are atomiswave emulators that can play the game, yeah, but theres no official release for everyone.

Yes, look at Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3
They aren't on Steam.

kinda like that...
or MGS1 and 2 for PC, there are official releases, but those are old and can be unreliable at best. and considerably hard to find.
unfortunately konami are dicks and nothing can be done there
the name of the game here is preservation.
Didn't read the whole thread but does anyone here tried it? What did you think? I played for an hour on Friday and it felt unfinished as fuck and since everyone was playable, I assume it was one of the latest build...
>>344549272
Is that sarcasm?
Geese's themes had plenty of different names before, why would they use Kiss again?
Battle for Geese
Kiss for Geese
Mustard for Geese
That's some of the names Geese's classic theme has gotten.

As a pretty good 13 player I played it and I found it mostly fine. Max is more broken than I think people realise but they have somewhat fixed the really janky neutral game of 13 by making st.a actually functional as an anti air again and a few other quality of life changes.
My main concern with the game is that it's still damage = meter and anti airing does very little on its own, which runs the risks of turning it into another jumpin fest unless you are Kim or one of the other characters that can tack meter onto their anti airs so they actually do damage.
In addition, jumping CDs are generally weaker as air to airs it seems. I think they made a conscious effort to avoid the Takuma/Karate j.CD situation again.
Another interesting change is that close C is no longer cancellable on whiff, which is a significant nerf to the reverse DP option select which made punishing crossup attempts near automatic.
You also cannot activate CD blowback unless you're standing, another attempt to weaken an option select. (You can still block a crouching attack, stand up while in blockstun from that low attack and CD)
Alternate guard also no longer works.
The main issue I have is that meter is given to you like candy and there is no real disadvantage to poking in neutral and hitting max every time you do. If it hit you get a 50% combo from your st.B poke. If they blocked it your activation is safe and you didn't just fuck yourself over like doing this with HD would in 13, because all you did was use a bar, you are now powered up and you potentially even get a mixup because you now autoran in. I think this will make punishing/poking EXTREMELY braindead and is a major issue.
Equally, all MAX combos seem to be confirm>EX move>EX move(launcher)>non EX special move>Either your free 1 bar super for being in max, or more.
There is virtually no reason not to do your max combo whenever you have 1 bar, which is almost all the time. I think it's homogenising.
>>344551434
How do you think team composition will be affected by this system?
>>344552015
I think it'll be more freeform than 13 was.
13 was actually very rigid. There was a wide pool of 'viable' point characters. You could play at least a dozen or so different characters there without really gimping yourself. Second was also decent but at that point you needed a character that could utilise HD due to how powerful it was and you would usually have it at that point in the game.
Anchor was the real killer though. Since so many games would come down to whoever got a clean confirm on the 'anchor' round first, characters NEEDED to have safe, low risk pressure and extremely high HD damage to dump all their meter onto the other character and win the game off the one touch they get. This meant that if you knew what you were doing, your third character would be Vice, Iori(Claw), Kim, or Shen. There was some room for niche anchors like Chin and Ash, but they were clearly suboptimal to those characters and were both significantly harder and less consistent.
14 though I don't think there's going to be such a huge disparity between 'anchors' and other characters. Everyone can max combo and as I said they seem relatively uniform across the board. Who knows though, maybe max combos will turn into something different.
I will say though that the game is unlikely to be super balanced, like any KoF game. Already characters like KoD look like total garbage. Keepaway also seems really strong. It's much more difficult to deal with basic fireball keepaway then 13 and I think the best characters will be those like Athena/Robert/K' who can do that well. Rushdown is also kind of nerfed by the generally slightly floatier jumps (easier to react) and that running now has 'acceleration' so runstop pressure is much weaker as you won't get to your full runspeed if you're doing stuff like cr.b>run>cr.b. It doesn't work nearly as well.
Again though, this is just my thoughts, I could be totally wrong.
>>344552619
Neat. Thanks for the explanation
>>344551434
I'm not that great of a player, but from watching gameplay I can see that meter gives incredible damage in XIV. I feel like the mechanic of gaining a free bar when you lose around is overkill.
>anti airing does very little on its own, which runs the risks of turning it into another jumpin fest unless you are Kim or one of the other characters that can tack meter onto their anti airs so they actually do damage.
Do you think the slower jumps would partially mitigate this problem? Because even though anti-airs don't do much damage, maybe it's possible to consistently anti-air, making jumping in a weaker option anyway?
>>344484828
Sounds more like her '01 voice actor.
>>344554581
It probably would mitigate it to a degree, it really depends on whether someone has a super oppressive jumpin like Takuma/Karate and a few other characters in 13 did. In that game you HAD to use a DP to stop it because if you tried to do it with a normal you would usually trade and it wouldn't be in your favour at all and if you blocked you were then in a mixup.
It might be okay. I found DPing jumpins to be much easier and while it may not do much damage, maybe it'll be enough to prevent it being so dominant. The other side of it is that turning in MAX gives you EX DPs which are actually pretty scary damage, so that might be the solution.
The issue I see is the disparity in damage from AAs though. Like, Kim for example. If Leona or Terry do their 'flash kick' sure, they work. If Kim does however, Kim can freecancel at the peak of his flash kick into a super. So while Leona and Terry would maybe do 10%ish if they're lucky, Kim is doing 30-40% for virtually the same thing. I worry that having that ability will be extremely strong, especially considering that it no longer costs anything to cancel into super from specials, there's no drive cancels anymore, you can just do it.
>>344555634
Thanks for the explanation.
>especially considering that it no longer costs anything to cancel into super from specials
That's the other mechanic that stood out to me as being weird. It really doesn't seem necessary to have the point character canceling into supers like 15 seconds into the first round.
>>344556154
The interesting thing is that it only applies to normal specials. You can't cancel EX specials into supers as far as I'm aware, which is why all max combos end with a normal special even though they could usually theoretically do a EX one for more damage.
I imagine it's a deliberate move to even the playing field and give all characters, even those without traditional launchers, easy ways into their supers beyond normal>command normal>super. Who knows. We'll see how it turns out.
>>344555634
>Like, Kim for example. If Leona or Terry do their 'flash kick' sure, they work. If Kim does however, Kim can freecancel at the peak of his flash kick into a super. So while Leona and Terry would maybe do 10%ish if they're lucky, Kim is doing 30-40% for virtually the same thing.
>top tier kim again
fugg
>>344556996
Prepare for Kim on every team again.
Unless there's somebody else who can combo off of anti-airs.
>>344549510
If you're still around, I heard the arcade setup at Japan Expo was laggy. Could that have contributed to the 'unfinished' feeling or are you referring to the game mechanics themselves?
M I A N
W A I F U
>>344551434
I feel you ignored neutral max activation, which is said to be potentially viable and strong tactic for some characters.
That's already a reason why I like XIV's max more than HD mode, which was basically only for combo extension.
>>344558580
lewd
>>344560615
Not that guy, but seeing players activate from a distance as King in order to improve her zoning gives me hope for MAX mode. In addition, I saw people raw activating as Kukri to get his bizarre teleport mixup.
So, new trailer when?
>>344564428
thursday as usual, Southtown team this week
probably more stuff at EVO
Did that stream show Athena's new idol song?

It's logical that team brazil has a brazilian stage.
>>344569949
Yes it is, but usually these stages are located on places like Rio de Janeiro or the fucking Rain Forest. Thanks SNK for breaking barriers
>>344570743
Sure, they even introduced a Colombian *living in Brazil

I was legit surprised she was the non-BR on the team.
A shame the toucan isn't part of her moveset
