Here's hoping the final boss isn't an ugly monster looking thing, or at least the regular playable version isn't.

The leak mentioned a non-human IIRC, and the term "soulnado" came.

Whatever it is, i suspect it won't be the only one of its kind, KoF arc bosses tend to have aspects. or at least origins, in common.

And anyhow my main question is will all character be playable, or Is Antonov OP and not available for Tournaments?

I hope they are well balanced like the final boss of Garou mark of the wolves.

Easiest way to keep track of the characters is on the official site: http://www.snkplaymore.co.jp/us/games/kof-xiv/command/

There shouldn't be any gimmicks to how the bosses are balanced; no ratio system, no bringing them as a bonus to consoles after an arcade release, none of that. These are legit 2 more characters on to a roster. Much as how Gargos, ARIA, and Eyedol are all boss level in KI, or Bison and Necali (HA!) are kinda bosses in SF's story, but still normal playables.

The most you're likely to see is that the boss versions might have buffed-to-stupidity damage, infinite meters, or some crazy final form with increased effects.

I kinda don't mind if the boss is an ugly beast or something Harpy / mythical god like... KoF hasn't really had much of that, even when the most popular antagonist is depicted as an 8 headed serpent. Something like Samsho's Mizuki would be pretty fun.

So Hein is/was a bouncer?

First Ryo loses his design to Ryu/Ken and now might lose his girl to her sempai :(

True, I do expect it to be a Mian kind of design though in that it will have the kind of details which would have been tough in 2D.

Finally getting a final female boss would be nice too.

Oh and I wouldn't mind a boss that is made to stay, ala Antonov, rather than be forgotten after one entry or so. They haven't made one of those since Rugal.

Watching the countries of the world march in the opening ceremonies last night, when they got to Colombia, all i could think of was how their bright yellow outfits reminded me of Zarina.

Also, some cute fanart

I'm not a big fan of Zarina's design (or maybe its the model that I'm not a fan of?) but this is some damn good fanart.

Double the King and Heiny is never bad, right? XD Posted on the same minute, lol.

Reminds me of King's interactions with Elisabeth in XIII - it must be refreshing for her to deal with something of a peer once in a while.

And yeah, I guess the difference between a bodyguard and a bouncer isn't that great in concept.

I dunno, I guess Chizuru kinda counts?

Then again, she didn't really have an active role again until 2003, where Ash then takes her powers and removes her from the plot, again.

Any bets on JWong's team? I'm calling Love Heart as my sleeper pick.
Click to expand...

I too echo the idea of Justin using Athena. During his brief stint in KOF XIII, he used Athena very well. As far as who else...maybe Luong and Mai.

I also think those four players will pick Xanadu, Chang and King of Dinosaurs during button checks to troll people.

7pm JST, August 19th, a real KoF XIV DREAMMATCH.

Justin Wong (?!) and Sako VS GO1 and Ogawa, live on SNK's official Twitch Channel.
Click to expand...

First they announce an exhibition for launch day between Xiao Hai and Japanese KOF players and now an exhibition between players of other games, really smart stuff from SNK.

Angel seems like she was made for Sako.
I could see Ogura go for Kukri.
Justin will probably go for zoners like he usually does (Athena, King etc.)
Mai for GO1 maybe?

EDIT: Wait... Professor is saying that they will be playing the exhibition on the demo version? That makes no sense.

As a sub-boss sure but all the mainline final bosses have been male so far.

24 Min of Gameplay via... Polygon?!: https://youtu.be/pggHSjspI6A

I expect nothing, so whats there should only slightly exceed expectations! ;-)

Edit: Hmmm, now the vid has gone private... I still have it open and playing on SRK though, lol. But it seems to mess up if you try to view it on it's own.
