Jedi Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I've been a pretty big SNK fan for quite some time, in particular of their Fatal Fury franchise, but that died long ago, KoF14 is the first KoF that has actually interested me properly since 2003, this is probably due in part to the fact that an old Fatal Fury creator is at the helm of it. Anyone else gonna get it? I tend to use the Fatal Fury cast almost exclusively, although I use a few characters outside it. And we have Nakoruru in this game from Samurai Shodown which is an interesting choice. I haven't been too compeitive in a more traditional fighter in quite some time, but I'm looking to be in this one The release dates are as such NA August 23, 2016 JP August 25, 2016 EU August 26, 2016 Also the full roster is listed here, you can mix and match your own teams though http://www.tomsguide.com/us/king-of-fighters-14-faq,news-22586.html Quote China Team: Shun’ei, Tung Fu Rue, Meitenkun Japan Team: Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido, Goro Daimon Official Invitation Team: Sylvie, Kukri, Mian South America Team: Nelson, Zarina, Bandeiras Yagami Team: Iori Yagami, Vice, Mature Kim Team: Kim Kaphwan, Gang-Il, Luong Mexico Team: Ramon, Angel, King of Dinosaurs Another World Team: Nakoruru, Mui Mui, Love Heart Villains Team: Xanadu, Chang Koehan, Choi Bounge K’ Team: K’, Kula Diamond, Maxima Ikari Team: Ralph Jones, Clark Still, Leona Heidern South Town Team: Geese Howard, Billy Kane, Hein Fatal Fury Team: Terry Bogard, Joe higasi, Andy Bogard Women Fighters Team: King, Mai Shiranui, Alice Psycho Soldier Team: Athena Asamiya, Sie Kensou, Chin Gentsai Art of Fighting Team: Ryo Sakazaki, Robert Garcia, Yuri Sakazaki Edited June 16, 2017 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceBrand Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I might once I'm bored of SF5. Last KOF game I played was 12. I'll be maining Terry for sure. On a side note, I know graphics don't mean everything but this game looks early PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceBrand Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I thought they were bought out by this huge Chinese company. Graphics aside I hope to get back on the KOF train again. The system so far looks nice, if not a bit simplified. Hopefully it's like Mark of Garou with the incredible hard super inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diffuse Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm planning on getting it too. Don't know how good I'll be though, as I've never really had the chance to play KOF against other people that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Will I play KoF? That's like asking if I'm gonna be breathing. Chang and Choi return, get frickin' hype~ We totally need to play some matches man. If it's a good game I'll be playing nonstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Who the heck are half these people? Whether I get this depends on my bank account, and whether or not I still have to do something like HCF, QCB + two buttons or something ridiculous like that.

Tryhard Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Who the heck are half these people? Decent amount of new characters. Some cameos from a few of their other games. Probably will get, gameplay looks good even if its rough around the edges because of budget. I'm sad about no Vanessa, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 From what I heard, the staff had 2 ideas, like an entire cast of returners and an entire cast of newcomers. They compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them Steam Summer Sales are gonna kill peoples wallets again haha. I gotta get a PS4 just for this game, (And Xenoverse 2/Star Ocean 5) but I digress. Who out of the cast do people think they'll use, any old favorites etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Since I don't recognize a chunk of the cast, no clue. I was equally bad with everyone back in the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reki Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 If I had money. I would, but I don't. :c Can't wait to see people play this game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Ohman, I used to play KoF so much online back in the early 00s. Just seeing this thread title triggered a tonne of flashbacks. So many fun memories. <3 I don't own a PS4 and have no desire at all to buy one, so I'll certainly be passing on this, but it's good to know the franchise is still alive and kicking.

Omegaprism Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm getting it for sure. Already got muh ps4 for this, Star Ocean 5, and Bloodborne. In fact, one of the very first community message boards I used to haunt was a Europe-based forum called Orochinagi. Good times. Oh, and I'll probably be maining my old standby team of Terry, Ryo, and a rotation of others (K', Maxima, Mai, Kyo, Joe, some new char that looks cool). I hope Terry got over whatever mediocrity sickness plagued him in XIII, and I am glad that so far it looks like Hwa Jai is gone again (Eff that guy and his "All my moves are safe and do a ton of damage," BS. I mean why even put Joe in the game at that point?). Also, here's hoping the netcode is better than the last few games, because after moving away from all my fighting game friends I essentially had to hang up my stick, because the online was so terrible.

Kirie Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Oh really? That's neat, who did you use if I may ask? Mature was my main, with secondaries being a mix between Vice, Athena, Kasumi and Mai. Like most games, I preferred to play female characters whenever available. I actually started playing Mature because the guy who introduced me to KoF and taught me how to play and such used Iori and I was intrigued with the stories behind the characters. (I find amusing fighting game plots to be something of a guilty pleasure.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I love cheesy fighting game stories, simple and fun, with some dark twists here and there, makes me like certain characters even more!

Gemma Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Heck yeah, nice to see another Mature player~ Besides my two main bois, I play her, Leona, and Whip a lot. She's currently my PSN avatar :v Also, for anyone curious, I'll lay down some info on some of these chars. King of Dinosaurs from the Mexico Team is actually Tizoc from Garou Mark of the Wolves. Besides Nakoruru (from Samsho) the Another World Team is made up of pachislot characters. Mui Mui is from Dragon Gal, and Love Heart is from Sky Love. Speaking of pachislot, Alice from the Women's Fighter Team gained her current design (and pretty much whatever popularity she has) from the Fatal Fury pachislot series. She actually first appeared in Kim's Real Bout Fatal Fury ending. As for the newcomers, we've seen gameplay trailers for Shun'ei (guy has frickin animu airdashes, he's also the new main char for the saga similar to K'/Ash/etc.), Sylvie (ponponpon), Kukri (sandy sand), Nelson (Latino Little Mac with robo-arm), Banderas (joke ninja), Luong (leg waifu, apparently Kim's Master's wife), and Mui Mui. The remaining newcomers are Mian (mask chick), Zarina (Laura toucan waifu), Gang-Il (Kim's master), (Legend of?) Xanadu (creepy dude), and Hein (Geese's butler). I can also post any char pics/trailers you wanna see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Its funny to see that Kim finally gave up rehabilitating villains, for now anyways. Also I figured KoD was Tizoc, the body types were strikingly similar. Edited May 23, 2016 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I can also post any char pics/trailers you wanna see. Since I'm equally bad with everyone, I'm gonna request as many as possible. If there's a play list, all the better! If my Smash preferences are worth anything, I like playing with a bit of range (think Marth).

Gemma Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) There doesn't seem to be a playlist anywhere... fortunately they have them all listed on their main site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGI8F48lv24 this vid introduces all the teams, as well as some gameplay modes and mechanics. http://www.snkplaymore.co.jp/us/games/kof-xiv/command/ character movelists http://www.snkplaymore.co.jp/us/games/kof-xiv/movie/index.php#teammovie towards the bottom of the page, you'll want to have a look at the teaser trailers. I'll list the trailers and what chars debut in them 1. Kyo, Iori 2. Leona, Chang 3. Andy 4. Kula, Ralf, Billy, King, Angel 5. Robert, Benimaru, K' 6. King of Dinosaurs, Clark, Terry, Maxima 7. Chin, Tung Fu Rue, Choi 8. Sylvie, Vice, Kim 9. Athena, Nelson, Luong 10. Geese, Ryo 11. Mui Mui, Kukri 12. Banderas, Mai aaaand they don;t have the newest one, so here~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV_x8Z3ogwI 13. Nakoruru, Shun'ei They're also posting team trailers on this page, so far they only have the Japan and Yagami teams (this is also the only footage of Daimon and Mature we have) Some of the trailers are kinda lacking in showing of the character moves (especially the earlier ones) so this should be a nice source once they start posting more. You want some char recs? Well... depends on how much range you want :P Billy might be your cup of tea, but the stick might be overkill on your desire for range. (I'm also not much of a Billy guy so I can't hep you too much here. He's pretty easy to use in terms of execution but I've always found him to be a bit counterintuitive.) Of course Chang has some devastating range. I can like, totally ramble hardcore about Chang if you want :v Kula and Mature have plenty of safe moves with good reach, including some amazing light standing/crouching normals. Definitely good picks if you're into spacing. Kula might be better if you like controlling the pace of the match, while Mature can be played aggressively once she gains momentum with her frickin' giant projectile that she can run behind. Daimon has great reach on his normals (jumping heavy kick holy dang), and you can play him really defensively this way. Terry, Athena, and Iori have some nice range on some of their moves as well, but I would also recommend them simply as being good beginner chars. And in terms of new chars, Luong looks like she has some crazy range on her kicks. On another note, I'll be playing the demo for this at Combo Breaker this weekend. I'm not sure if they'll have a new demo build, but I'll definitely be able to try out Chang and Choi~ I'm also looking to try out Sylvie. Gonna be so hype~ Edited May 24, 2016 by Gemma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Oooh, thanks~! Luong sounds like she might be my speed, if she's not super-technical. I'm not into throwing people, so Daimon's out (and yes, I tried, and yes, I regretted everything). EDIT: I might be able to pull Shun'ei. . .we'll see~!

Gemma Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yeah, I don't know too much about Luong, but her one special move is a kick that like goes halfscreen, it's crazy @[email protected] Haha, I do enjoy playing grapplers in KoF but sometimes I feel they can be exhausting for me. tbh for Daimon I don't know the inputs for like the majority of his grabs :v He has some crazy tools that I'm not into using.

eclipse Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 . . .yep, Luong looks technical. Not quite sure what to make of Kukri (will literally need to see his entire moveset), but he looks irritating. Will probably peruse move sets in full once they come out, then make up my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
