SNK in general is in absolute beast mode at the moment. They know they've got to bring their A-game for this one since it's basically the relaunch of their entire gaming arm, so a lot is hanging in the balance. It's really obvious that the "old guard" are relishing this opportunity to rebirth the company and return them to glory. It couldn't really come at a better time either, this is going to be the first major fighting game since SFV and so it's bound to get compared in the mainstream reviews, and i can't see how it could compare unfavourably at this point. All they have to do is nail the online and there'll be nothing to complain about by release i think.
It's as if they listened to everyone's feedback to Capcom, and decided to do the exact opposite - everything everyone wants. But reality is, they probably had this plan of attack well before Capcom's fumbles became obvious - i just really think you've got a bunch of the most passionate fighting game devs working there right now, looking to make the best game they can!
I don't know what % of them were from the golden era, and don't want to discount what anyone new is doing there either - cause apart from what we know as fact, it's not immediately obvious where that line is drawn. But isn't it incredible that SNK can one day just say "we're back" and build an awesome team, what looks like their own engine, deliver an outstanding level of promotion etc... as if they were never even gone. Then you've got Capcom who outsource their 3d models god knows where, seemingly giving SFV a paltry budget.
I mean, does anyone really think KOF had less budget than SFV at this point? I'm thinking SNK's Chinese overlords have spared no expense to make this a hit. I know the story with Dimps having it's fair share of yester-years fighting game devs too... but man, what SNK has done here feels like what i imagine it'd be like if Nishitani, Okamoto and Funamizu came back to make a new SF.
Plus, SNK's successes on mobile seem to have played a huge role in understanding how to manage community / social networks too. Screenshots every day, trailers on a damn regime. Arcades are long dead but they're freaking doing location tests like it's 1996 as well! What a thing of beauty. That damn netcode better be good and this game a success, cause i want the SNK rebirth to hit full stride with proper FF and SS sequels and whatever Neo_G's cooking too!

Is there a reason why this game isn't available for pre-order on US PSN? Would love to pre-order this and 1 other game and take advantage of that 15$ return.
Amen to that!
And i just want them to build on what they did here, that is a huge work, and take the next step after that (taking their graphic king crown back)

Really looking forward to seeing Xanadu's full design, play style and personality.
I think he said pretty much all he could have said about the netcode without getting too technical.
- They are fully aware of the complaints against console XIII
- XIII's Steam netcode had a positive reception so they are building on top of that
- Prepared to quickly fix issues post launch
I'm guessing it should be a 48 character build since it's just a month away from release? They will probably save the bosses for release.
They should definitely take the opportunity to have the new build's first showing be at Evo.

LoL, My "He could be a mentally cracked true psycho like Cowboy Bebop's Pierrot Le Fou" prediction seemed spot on, lol. That's truly something special. He's a maniacal manchild that rocks his enemies to sleep before mounting on them and beating the piss out of them... all while acting somewhat innocent at the same time.
Oh, and their stage is totally awesome. Did not expect that location at ALL.
That combo video really shows how the combos are short, flashy and much easier in XIV. The way you string EX moves together in max mode combos gives a lot more time to breathe to the player than the rapid-fire cancels in XIII.
Also, the more I see of the max mode combos the more it feels like they are more efficient when done using just one power bar. The supers seem to scale way too much when tacked to the end of a long combo in XIV.
EDIT:
That stage.
That Chang damage.
WTF at Xanadu lol.

Oh, hell yeah.
Xanadu definitely looks...interesting. Hahahaha. I definitely want to give him a try.

What a true psychopath.
Edit: That's the best stage IMO, because it actually looks right with the character models.

The stage looks kinda good.
And WTF was that Xanadu shit?
Loved that Chang Climax cancel btw, it was hilarious when he dropped his wrecking ball.

I have been hyped for team villain's newcomer and I'm quite satisfying with what I see in the trailer. I'm eager to pick it up on day one! The stage is top notch for me as well.
Now I'm waiting for South American Woman with Touncan reveal since she look cool and I'm sure her movesets should be interesting as well.
Do it pls, you posted the trailer so you should have the honors.
*bow* Lets enjoy it while it last!
He should totally be the new Newb killer. If you can survive the salt someone like him brings, you're now welcomed into the KoF Family!
It does perfectly look like it meshes with everything. It was worth the wait, and probably the location Xanadu awoke from (it was mentioned he's been imprisoned deep underground for a long while in the Orochinagi interview)
Hopefully... until Zarina shows up ;-) I love how much unexpected fun comes with these reveals.
A million light are dancing and you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu
Now that I'm here, now that you're near, in Xanadu
I think after this, they'll go crawling back to Kim, begging for him to accept them. Smart Choi and Chang will then be revealed for KoF XV! FINALLY reformed!
Really can't wait to see her. I hope she has a great voice, and a likable personality.

Oh my god, what the hell is Xanadu? I ask this question in a tone of absolute joy. I love Xanadu, add him to the list of characters I want to play. The Villains Team stage is very, very nice. I was hoping to get some sort of prison themed stage, and very nice music as well! Damn, this team is great!
Also, yowza at that Chang damage. Nice and BEEFY, mmm, MMMM!

Yeah, I rewatched and was just blown away at how much damage Chang was doing.

To be fair, Ignition did change the boxart of XII by petition
Deep Silver perfectly could do the same
We'll never see him playable in KOF at all. Shunei plays bit like him and even has some of his moves. You ever wonder why he's always fighting Terry in the trailers? Also, Oda or someone on staff said that they will keep Rock out of in-game KOF to respect the Fatal Fury franchise.
Thank god that shit was stupid lol.

That was a blessing for yuri, sad to see it go.
And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII will always love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu *breaks Choi's back*
She still has a command grab in a kof game with no alt guard. She is still good.
