Hein Victory VS Terry:

"Not really a wolf, more like a stray dog...
No, you're more like the runt of the litter."

Geezeu, no respect!

Great Wall stage sounds like it takes OST inspiration from Tung's themes, I'm more than OK with this.

I don't think Sie sounds horrible for a Osakan accent + Chinese inspirations character... but he's definitely different. I like how one of his palettes is directly inspired by his XII and XIII default. His hair is pretty flat and lifeless though, quite a shame.

Another thing to note is that his multi-punch hop now actually stops if blocked / hits nothing, rather than having him continue into OBVIOUS PUNISHMENT like in the old days.

Digging how Geese's new normal is a direct reference to Tung:

Wow alice looks really fun! In the beginning i thought it was like having the entire Fatal Fury team in one character, but she also has that rotating divekick from Benimaru, some other move taht now i don't remember and the defeat cry reminds me of someone else's cry.

Pillow boy also stealed some of his moves from someone but now i don't remember who.

Eh...why not just have Kukuro from SamSho instead of Alice? Do you really need more T and A in in this game SNK? :p

LoL, I didn't make that pic, but yeah, I'd have added K' at least. I thought the impossible clones were a nice touch.

So DC_Kane317 just gave us some Ramon and MAKUSHIMA play. Since Ramon SUPER FREESES the entire screen while running across it for his wall-jump DM, you should be able to land it from any distance. That's pretty nice. I think it was more of a "only when close to wall" thing previously?

RAMON MAX COMBO ON STREAM WAS BEAUTIFUL!

Hm? You mean putting the same character on the same team? Think that's only available in party mode... the pic is just a joke! Not available in normal play. :)

does kensou have his kof13 rekkas?

Nope. Hop multipunche attack horizontal and at an angle, like the old days. A new things however is that the hop punch horizontal on block stops on whiff, rather than having him continue on with the 3 part string, begging for him to be hit.

I have no idea what Mian is supposed to be doing. Maybe just fly around and piss people off. <.<

I'm sad Love Heart isn't a sword character.

Mian has multiple air dashes, that can be started from the ground, and multiple dive kick angles. She seems to have like 3 or 4 actions out of the movement as well, so it's pretty free for mixing up. Her trailer didn't show this as her MAIN gameplan though, so I'm not so sure it'll be this spammed once people get used to her.

For Love... I'm kinda confused. She has swords as a special, but it looked like it had branches / variations. So maybe she has a mixup depending on which strength punch she uses to the move? Like a basic high/low variation?

Vice just pulled off the KoF XIII style EX Shoulder -> Crouch D -> EX Deicide Sleeve into *stuff* leading into Climax. It was Beautiful. (*o*)

I know the recent stream shouldn't be seen as a metric of what high level play we can expect to see in tournies once the game is in EVO for example, but I do hope this game will last long and be played for more years to come.

I played Love. Her sword slash hits only once with LP and twice with HP. That's about it.

Love Heart really threw me off because I keep expecting her slashes to be qcf buts that does a dashig uppercut and her slashes are actually a qcb instead.

Can you get something after the uppercut?

And are the slashes good for poking?

For some reason, a move with wide range being a QCB... actually is exactly what I expect of SNK. I'm not sure why... maybe something to do with Whip or something. Thanks for the info!

The 2nd slash looks like it's begging for a follow-up. Wonder if it leaves open, or can be free canceled into her heel or uppercut punch? Gotta be SOME reason for it not to knock down.

Kinda wish Luis Cha would naff off, he keeps using his XIII team and playing to win while others are trying new characters.

Alice is everything I wanted and more. And she's got an annoying ass voice so thats a plus.
Her tackle looks really good. Like she might be at advantage on block

Yeah, she went beyond my expectations as well.
