King of Fighters XIV: Choi, Tung Fu Rue, and Chin Reveal Trailer

Good stuff. Too bad all that good work will be in vain if they botcher the netcode. Do we have ANY idea of what they'll use ?
 
Chin and Choi looking good. I like the new stage background for the church or whatever it is.

The game needs a lot of time in the hopper though. Quick Sony throw some $ at them so they can release this in 2017 to polish it up.

Tizoc: You know, I actually was a fan of the Sega Genesis Version back in the day, too. I'd purposely take a long time to fight on his (Rainy!) stage just to listen to the theme.

It feels so long ago... I don't think I even knew who Master Roshi was all the way back then.

NGBC was a more over-the-top game, since it also had to work with the armed characters from Samurai Shodown, Last Blade and Metal Slug, among others.
XI, on the other hand, had the Leader DM system, which let only a single character in the team of 3 have an outrageous move - the game's default cast already had something similar, as Momoko's LDM was a beam (to make up for her otherwise short range), so I guess that's why they let Tung keep it there. I wouldn't expect to see it back, but who knows...

My hope is that the fact he's fighting Maxima is a hint that they'll both eventually have a Beam Struggle! I do hope he keeps it, there's a lot of ways to not make it THE BEST MOVE EVER, and even limit it to more of a combo tool, rather than a full-screen-super-dominance tool. Though I'd be OK with it being that, as well.

Fingers crossed for the third prisoner in Chang/Choi's team to be a badass female prisoner.

It is a super. He follows the same format like tung and chio. Beside the move did way too many hits.

Maybe but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. It's been a while since I've played 2002 but iirc he got some pretty good moves there from drinking.

It's already more feature complete then v. They already said all the models are completed and basic moves are done. I feel like this game is an end of year thing and they are doing finishing gameplay and graphics rather than actually doing the build and discovery phrase.

Eh
Real Bout version sounds waaaaay better, especially since I played RB2 to death :p

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Technically it was in console KoF XI, which brought in characters from NGBC.
XI wasn't exactly canon, but IIRC the final boss got new lines against the new characters, not to mention the special team illustrations - so not quite canon, but they found neat ways to make the newcomers have a presence beyond just the fighting mechanics.

I thought XI is canon, unless you mean the "bonus" characters are non-canon, which I agree. It'd be odd to see Kizuna characters in KoF verse lol
 
Damn... this game is really looking GOOD now. I was kind of deflated after the Alex SFV reveal this morning- but I'm legit more hyped for KOF 14 at the moment.

Heh, I made a similar post on SRK a few days ago. We're now all really going to be disappointed if the prisoner isn't a Michiko Malandro-a-like, lol.

Of course it does! The beginning is especially creaky-ish in chimes on that genesis version. But I loved how hearing his theme in RBS felt more like a nostalgic joy, rather than just a new thing. I hope we get an updated version for it in XIV.

Between the KoF2000 strikers, the XI challengers, Sho Hayate as a student in the Kyokugenryuu dojo in XIII and general timeline twisting that KoF is clearly affected by, by now I'm almost used to it.


As for the Chin fire breathing, could it be an EX version of the regular drink spitting move he used to have?...

Well, he did have regular fire-breathing added to his repertoire since the NESTs saga games. But this one does look a bit different from even those...

at least the gameplay is starting to look good...the visuals are still atrocious.

Keeping fingers crossed that they're actually going to tune all this stuff up.
 
I get more excited for it every time I see a new trailer.

The visuals always look a bit better, but more importantly, it's a new fucking King of Fighters!

This hyped me quite a bit, it's looking more and more like KoF it's exciting. I also agree that it's looking better and better with every new video that's released. I mean, it's expected as it's still in development, but it's good to see various improvements. Stoked about dat Tung Fu!

Looks a hell of a lot better than it's debut trailer and the last few trailers showed improvement in each one. Seriously, they could've just waited a few months and then debut it now instead of the bullshit reveal they had in the beginning which gave them all negative press. Glad to see SNK getting back into form and I'd love to see some of the brand new characters in the leak like how they did with KoD in the last trailer.

Also show my bros Joe and Ryo!

So is it confirmed Rugal and Yamazaki won't be returning? That stinks if so.

In terms of visuals, this game has been making improvements every video release, but I'm completely flabbergasted at how anyone could think this title looks good graphically for a PS4 title at the point it is now in development. Not saying it looks terrible, but graphically; I would have honestly believed it was a PS3 if I were told so.

I do like the more realistically proportioned designs if the fighters this go around. I also like most of the character design changes in general.

get some go again
people give this game crap for the character models but the backgrounds are the worst offenders. holy crap talk about taking a giant step back.
