Just bought the game recently, big Kof fan since 94, my favorite fighting game ever, heres my two cents about it!
I will not mention obvious things like graphics, has it was more than approached by everyone.
First off let´s start with the "not so great" - The game is somewhat slower than normal, and I hate the easy combo mechanics, Snk games unlike its rivals were always about precision, and not so button mashing. Seems like these 2 decisions were made to facilitate newcomers to the game. I wish you had the option to turn the easy combo off. (The cpu uses it all the time and it is really anoying, as you can clearly see that these are no normal combos, just an automatic chain that feels very robotic)
Secondly they altered some of the physics and timings of the game wish is a little frustrating, specially if you´re used to the previous Kof´s.
The Boss is a bit underwhelming for Kof standards (both of them),mainly because they look like they belong in some other game.
I didn´t like the childish tone and comedic approach in the story mode. Kof always had such rich story and was probably the only fighting game that had a "serious" plot, more like a movie than a game.
Now the good stuff - Bares an excellent roster with lots of characters, that more than make up for the lack of graphics. The gameplay, albeit the reasons I mentioned above, is pretty tight and quite entertaining.
It´s a bit of a mixed bag for me, I am not sorry to have bought it (with a friend it is still a blast), it is just that the developers got so many things right, that is a shame some other things didn´t fall through, but if the developers keep up like this I suppose they can only get better at it!

Heh, Yamazaki was the only silhouette I was 100% sure about

I wonder who'll be next reveal...

Everyone wants Rock Howard so bad. I know KoF '02 and UM are non-canon, but Rock was a KID in those games. XD

Getting the obvious ones out before some surprise addition.

Yeah, no surprises until now (And Yamazaki's model looks bad).
Let's wait for some surprises. This is what I most loved in this franchise: to try to guest WHO will appear.

A leak is a sign that game is beginning to grow big.

In fact, there were many people who were turned off by Street Fighter V. I think I'm beginning to see a transition here.

Mmm, Vanessa, I'll be glad if she's planned, she's one of those characters I like KOF for

Slivern · « **Reply #188 on:** March 22, 2017, 10:40:28 PM »

Don't freak out...

Slivern · « **Reply #189 on:** March 23, 2017, 05:31:44 PM »

GUYS, WE HAVE TO TALK, THE POSSIBILITY OF ROCK HOWARD IN KOF XIV IS COMING TRUE REAL SOON

This picture seems to have come from the same guy who leaked Vanessa!

Uche_of_IMT · « **Reply #190 on:** March 23, 2017, 06:03:41 PM »

I don't trust leaks. I mean, who would want to risk career suicide by leaking private information?

Laforga · « **Reply #191 on:** March 23, 2017, 06:33:19 PM »

Yeah, except that this guy has been consistently right, until now!

Slivern · « **Reply #192 on:** March 23, 2017, 07:48:44 PM »

OHHHH MAN I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ROCK HOWARD'S TRAILER COMES OUT

Also, the leak is coming from a Chinese location; bear in mind that with SNK having been bought by Chinese investors, it would seem that SNK's IPs are set to become prevalent within the region soon, so as a result, you have stuff like this. KoF is also getting a CGI animated series that will be voiced in Chinese and Japanese as well...exciting developments indeed! Except for the live action KoFs that are planned.
