Japan just got hit by a 6.2 earthquake. If Daimon is in this trailer:

It is illegal to Tag Fish in Tag Fishing Sanctuaries by law 38.36 of the GAF Wildlife Act
I have so much faith in SNK. This game looks awesome, and they got Neo G.

The idea of Garou 2 by the 3rd Strike director...
Dang dude! That's straight up NSFW! ;)

See you guys back here once the Weekly thread is forgotten to time! (Which might happen slower, thanks to MAI and all.)
 

IntelliHeath

As in "Heathcliff"
They finally revealed Mai. I really like new dude. He look a fun character so I'm going to try him. Actually I'm going to try everyone anyway!

A preview of the Story Mode dialogue, perhaps? Funny SNK-style character interactions definitely make me smile.

And woo for my guess regarding another Women's Teammate being shown this time panning out!

Can't wait to see Banderas and Geese having a weeabo-off. The out come should be, well, you know... but could be fun.

My guess? We get a pre-release build during EVO '16
Game releases by late Summer '16 in the US and Japan
Gives 1 year for all the tricks of the game to be found then it is straight to EVO '17~

Hmmm... the next reveal might have one of these two, it's the only team left with more than 1 character that hasn't been revealed yet.

Wouldnt make sense, game is meant to come out end of summer, so in two months we would be in mid June.
With this they will be able to maintain hype all summer, they could put out a final trailer in July and game comes out in August?

lol I know I was joking.

What makes you think it's coming out in the Summer tho? I agree that it probably is, but so far SNK hasn't given us any indication of a release date as far as I know.

Opps totally free or got Kim's master from the Korean team

Needs also the "Another World" team with Nakoruru and that other girl to join MuiMui.

It will most likely be a real numbered entry.

Again, I'd think it'd be a perfect fit for Neo_G's official "rite of passage" as a SNKP member, to be directing a game like this.

Take it back to basics, and then add his own personal flavor on top.

Does all the SNK end saga bosses except Rugal commit some act of absorption to other playable characters from the KOF series?

Orochi returns to life through the sacrifice of Yashiro and Shermie, while possessing Chris.

Igniz's suit consist of the battle data of all the cast in the nest saga.

Saiki drains Mukai to a slab of meat and possessed Ash.

If so, I wonder what will the new boss of this game will do. I know this is the first chapter of a new saga, however I would not be surprised if SNK start off the new boss as having the same trend as the previous saga end bosses.

Also, I wonder if the new boss has something to do with the sandman. You know....The sands of time. Haha.

Banderas looks fun. Fills the black weeaboo stereotype that I always wanted to see in a fighter. Mai is a mixed bag. Her animation and stuff is really good, but her arms look really bad. And like many I was kind of assuming they'd save her for last.

I wonder who's next

The main, or rather ONLY thing I hope from the new bosses is that they won't feel the need to kill either of them off unnecessarily. Killing bosses and refreshing the roster was something they had to do historically because they had to warrant people coming back for yearly iterations, and then eventually the regular sequels, by the time XI came along.

But now that we got a game like XIV, which could just stand to be supported continuously through DLC expansions and the like, I'm hoping that this game carry KOF for the next few years. After all, nothing's stopping them from adding on more characters to the roster, as well as more story scenarios for the rest of the gen.

Mai finally revealed. <3

Banderas looks sick, too.

Damn man, with a few notable missing characters, this roster is looking good AF.

They finally revealed Mai. I really like new dude. He look a fun character so I'm going to try him. Actually I'm going to try everyone anyway!

This is the correct course of action. =p

If the boss has access to the SNK multiverse, I could imagine him pulling a Kuroko and trying to use that to learn as many skills/attacks from as many characters and realities as possible...

Heck, I'd welcome this boss's mechanics helping to explain stuff like Kuroko's SS2 and SS6 movesets based on other games, especially if the referee himself (or at least one of them...) ends up dropping by in a future KoF to try and restore some semblance of order to the kind of dimansional chaos the presence of characters like Mui Mui implies.
 
Mai is back, and we have the second member of the Brazil team! A wacky ninja guy named...Banderas?


Wow. The trailer didn't really show me much, but Banderas looks pretty neat. I await the inevitable edits to the Banderas.gif.

Gatoray showed these off, not sure where from:

Esaka stage fight < Neo Esaka > Japan team. Land familiar with KOF series, but this time a little becoming futuristic.

Image of the lobby of the luxury hotel that made < Hotel Marine Paradise > sea. Beautiful and fantastic scenery migration of whales and sea turtles.

Those direct feed shots look sweet.

EDIT:

Translation from Prof:

If you're liking the two new oddball ninjas that were just unveiled for KOF14, 4Gamer.net has updated with a handful of screenshots in 720P resolution. Check out what the unlikely shinobis look without the heavy video compression of Youtube.

In addition, Playstation Asia has released profiles for both characters.

MAI SHIRANUI

Mai is a &#8220;kunoichi&#8221; (female ninja) who masters the ancient Shiranui ninja arts, combatting enemies with her fans and great movement speed. Her battle dress and beauty have charmed millions of fighting game fans around the world over the past two decades. Discover in &#8220;KOF XIV&#8221; if Andy has finally expressed his feelings to Mai!

BANDERAS HATTORI

Fascinated by ninjas since his childhood, his hard work and training have paid off, allowing him to acquire amazing ninjutsu / ninpo skills. Founder of the &#8220;Brazilian Ninja Arts&#8221; Dojo, Banderas unfortunately has no students at the moment. He hopes his participation in the KOF tournament will remedy this situation and bring a lot of students to his dojo.
 
I wish whatever lighting they're using didn't dull the stage colors so much. I think they don't want them too vivid to avoid interfering with gameplay, and it's not noticeable to the same extent in all stages, but Neo Esaka and that aquarium stage in particular seem really hit by that when compared to those 2D pictures.

I noticed it especially with the GEESE stage. The 2D art is on a whole 'nother level compared to the 3D output.

My biggest hope is that the 2D being a target means they're working towards it.

Between playstation and SNK's YT channels, the latest trailer is already at over 200K views.

People must really like Banderas.

Yup, total Ma~ Banderas!

Admit it, you're just trying to escape the *positive feels* coming from the graphic convo thread...

Well if you look at the YouTube comments there seems to be a LOT of discussions not in English (Spanish and Portuguese I would presume?) compared to other videos.
