Oh man I hope the new trailer that drops has the sleepy fist guy in it. I am eager to know more on that guy.

when you predict a bo
Yeah, I'd agree with DLC. If XIV is going to be SNK's main flagship as far as fighting games go, then it would pay to make sure it's supported for the long haul to keep interest in it strong.
And as I and others have said before, I still think it would be in SNK's best interest to chill a bit with fighting game series. After SS or LB (whatever is next in the pipeline) and another Metal Slug, it probably would be best for them to develop other (non-fighting game) IPs, or maybe even bring back some other classics like Athena or Crystalis. It'll only help develop SNK's portfolio and increase their appeal beyond those of us who already love them (and help shake the reputation that they're just the "KOF and Metal Slug company" that they attained during the SNKP years).
The beauty about KOF is that since it's as much a celebration of SNK's history as much as it will be promoting their brands going forward, KOF DLC could have a nice "Marth debuted in Smash Bros." trope in effect for those new and classic non-fighting IPs that SNK may want to advertise.
This may be especially helpful if say, Neo_G was going to be the director of some new action series, and said character(s) from that game made an early bird cameo in a KOFXIV DLC to help get the word out...
And we already know this, but yeah...I couldn't get behind this type of idea more, if I tried.
I suppose the only thing is that, especially now-a-days, you want to make sure that this content is put in such places where a larger crowd will be sure to see them. There's a reason why "Easter Eggs" in themselves are becoming an increasing rarity in games, because it's harder to warrant the development time that a larger portion of gamers may never see.
Hell, even special intros/victory poses, as much as I love them, are going to be things that competitive players will just speed right through them after seeing them a couple of times (and that's if they bother to see them at all).
Yeah, that's how I feel. While I'm excited about the prospect of future FF, LB, SS and even AoF games, I think it's crucial for SNK to take their time. You can't saturate the market like in the early 90's or you're gonna have 5 or 6 games that sell 20k copies each. Furthermore, each future title should build on whatever the teams learn from the previous one. Example: KoF was never much of a looker (the last two aside) so XIV can get away with looking solid (to many people... clearly not for some others), but when people think of Samurai Shodown and Last Blade they think of impressive visuals. They should to take their time, listen to feedback to make sure this game feels like a product everyone is glad to own and let the future projects cook for as long as they need. As mentioned, this game should last for several years.
I like the idea of them branching out and doing other genres, but I'm not sure what modern genres SNK is actually capable of besides fighters. I mean, side scrollers aren't really a thing these days.
On the roster or in the background? I definitely agree about the background, but if anything is being saved for last that would be it. I long for the day we can see our other teammates in the background like in the glory days.
I doubt it, so far. Really, this is Geese first time with EX moves, maybe they'll just turn him into the Nightmare he deserves to be all along? *TehTaRAAH Reppu-JAM!*
If you missed it(can't see how!), Geese reveal trailer is a must, if you haven't, re-watching it wouldn't hurt.Trying to stay up late tonight to flip my schedule for night shifts. So its coffee, Grappler Baki Manga, and fighting game work tonight. Yall got any good new KOF 14 trailers yet for me to watch
What are the chances of Teams being DLC?
Like XIII's Hero team (Elizabeth, Shen, Duo Lon) or 97' New Face Team(Yashiro, Shermie, Chris)?
Wait a minute.
Isnt Geese supposed to be dead? His son was hanging with Terry by KoF 2K1.
He's dead in Fatal Fury, KOF is different timeline.
Somewhere among that pool of talent SNK now has available should be a team that could provide something unique and fit into SNK's current strategies. Card games, character action, relatively cheap sidescrollers that could be thrown up on downloadable servers...the possibilities could be something else!
I'm aware of the split timeline, but then again I was wondering why it took so long for him to come back. I just assumed he was dead.
That Yuri ranbu was actually worth all the lenghty cinematics.
Also, I know it's a reference to her KOFXIII artwork, but the framing of the DM's ending really reminded me of Dan's Ultra 1.

Who have we not seen yet out of the new characters?
Thanks. I think that means I've seen all the available footage.We haven't seen Alice, Meitenkun, Love Heart, Zarina, Mian, Gang-Il and Xanadu.
Hein gameplay was shown via camera footage of that Japanese demo...but, you could count him as he has hasn't had a proper trailer.
EDIT: Kim Team trailer should be next week, followed by the Villain Team trailer the week after that. So, Gang-Il next week, Xanadu in two weeks.
Thanks. I think that means I've seen all the available footage.
Was Shun'ei shown for more than a second? I think I've only seen him in the same camera footage as Hein.

Wow, Yuri is slapping her butt not once, but TWICE during super animation.
No chance in hell this gets a Teen rating.
He was in the last teaser trailer (13th I think?)
Thanks, haven't seen that one before.He was in this montage trailer.
This neither.Shun'ei gameplay footage: https://youtu.be/QeqN_WfqbeQ?list=WL&t=118
Kinda disappointed it's not the Todoh stage music
They have added the AOF team bios on the main site.
Also, they have shuffled the order of release portion of the site we were using to see which trailer is next. We may not be able to tell which is next anymore.

Wait, i'm not too much into characters' stories but Robert is still "secretly" in love with Yuri? I thought it was known.
Yuri does not know. No one knows it except Takuma.
I got it wrong then, thanksYuri does not know. No one knows it except Takuma.
Giraffe Kula for the furry audience?!
Yep, goat KoF artist, especially if you like K'/Kula:Hiroaki the goat.
In fact he has a couple of K & Kula artwork that are pretty much the best KOF art ever made.
Don't know about Japan, but Mai is definitely the most popular KoF female in the west.
