King of Fighters XIV Roster Discussion thread. Leaked roster in first post

Nothing can beat Mai.

She's the only woman to make Kyo use foul language in a fighting game.

"Mai: "It might have been a tournament I didn't enter, but either way, you're officially number one in Japan in mixed martial arts. So, as the true number one, I want you to understand that. You wouldn't want to disgrace your country, would you?"

Kyo: "I sure wouldn't. So I guess I'm going to have to knock your ass out now. You leave representing Japan to me. Go sit in the audience and cheer me on as I show everyone how awesome I am!"

That one already got plenty of use in the past - I'd rather have them save that for the day when Ryuhyaku himself becomes playable - I much prefer seeing the Kyokugenryuu gang using music of their own, like their KoF94 theme or similar.
I guess it's because I'm used to that theme in KoF lol

...you know, they just need to make one more character and they could totally do a Team Todoh!

Seems like everyone is getting their own exclusive themes or such, I guess? Nice to see so much art popping up for promotion, and you can bet these are all probably part of the in-game gallery...

Playing Capcom vs Snk 2 right now and now I hope they may eventualy add Rock as a dlc character. That would be a no brainer dlc for me, been dying to play with another iteration of Rock.

So great to finally see them showing new 2D art.

Yeah he is young if going by the Fatal Fury universe. Put him in a Team of the Future with two others and it should be fine.

From the wiki:

Although his appearance in the 2D The King of Fighters series is highly anticipated, the KoF staff revealed that they have no plans to place him in the roster due to their respects for the old Fatal Fury staff; SNK Playmore members seem more interested in placing Rock in the next Fatal Fury installment.

The closest you will get to having Rock in KOF is probably Shun'ei.

Wasn't expecting new promotional artwork from Hiroaki, so good to see him doing more work for SNK. And yes, it does seem that he likes to focus on Kula and K' specifically (which is fine by me).

Take with a grain of salt but someone on SRK is saying that it has been confirmed that the chibi blonde girl in the photo above (next to the Athena/Mai swimsuit art work) is Mian without costume.

Also, Gatoray is saying that the Japanese players have spotted a vs. CPU mode. So those people who were worried about there not being an arcade mode on the main menu can rest easy.


Very cool.

I think it's Sylvie out of costume. Hair is the same length and color, eyes are the same color, even has one of those little red ribbons she has in her normal outfit.

Not likely. Maybe in the past, but not today.

SNK's more in love with characters such as Kyo, Iori, Nakoruru, Terry, Mai & Kula nowadays.

Nah, I'd say that was always the case. It was almost always those six characters (and Athena) that are most prone to be featured in promo art, extra material and the like. You'd only need to remember such things like "The Band of Fighters" to see what kind of importance SNK placed on these characters for years.

Edit: Beaten

Man, I kinda feel bad for Haohmaru lol

then again the only people he could relate to the KoF cast are Kim and Daimon
 
Well I sure hope NeoG didn't read any of that nonsense from the other day about the game needing to be slower. FOH with that shit.

I need to set Hein's Climax to Hit'em Up like in those thug life vines lol.

Who is going to have a kid first. Takuma is getting impatient.

It's on Ryo, then. No matter how much Robert obviously wants to put a ring on it, Takuma won't let him. All because he's still afraid of Robert "taking advantage of Yuri". After all these years.

Fixed to make it more true.

I remember when I was following some forums religiously to get the latest translated summaries from that series. Oh, those were the days...

I only read KOF Xenon Zero completely. K' going Orochi mode on Mukai was pretty hilarious. I tried to read the XII comics, but only got to the issue with Kyo and Iori team and Team Fatal fury were on the cover.

MMCafe also did a write up on the Osaka showing.

"The Sand of Musi...c!"

I think it's Sylvie out of costume. Hair is the same length and color, eyes are the same color, even has one of those little red ribbons she has in her normal outfit.

Twins pls.


Sounds like Japan is really liking the game.

Can't wait for that EVO hype:

“We have balanced KOF XIV ensuring to keep the same high level of gameplay and quality as that of KOF XIII, and are looking forward to players’ reactions!”

It was funny watching Frionel freak out at the new property of Chin's EX roll (it now auto-crosses up).

Also, Ralf has the following classic stuff back in XIV:

And going by SAB CA's shot above, Yuri has her old j.CD back (in XIII her j.CD was a butt attack).
