A C CD
B D -
The CD is mostly for making Daimon's MAX/EX roll shortcut easier. I may go back to the a traditional kof layout eventually which is:
B C D
A

On a stick, the game really is designed around the old Neo Geo layout since there's no AD combo press. With the NG layout on a stick, the button combos are at most one button apart. Using the other 4 buttons for the combos like this:
A B C D
AB AC BD CD
Means you can also ABC or BCD (for cancelling straight into an EX move) with 2 fingers instead of 3. I prefer it like this since it's easy to remember which combo to press, based on the top row of buttons.
Though it's hard to get used to punch and kick being next to each other, if you're used to Street Fighter's layout. But you can do this instead
A C B D
AB BD AC CD
But your layout is obviously best if you are used to SF's layout!

Finnaly got around to sit down and play it. Im Loving it
Oh my, that's adorable.
Since I have no access to XIV, I played some 98 and 97 yesterday. Connecting Clark SDM never gets old!

Just bought it from GS, nice steel book.
Gotta relearn a lot of stuff as I haven't played in years. Glad to be able to play as my boy Iori though.

I'm still in the theatrical "oh, you beat me!" stage.
50% health handicap helps.
I'm just glad he is enjoying a KOF title and I get someone on the couch to play with
What is it? Does it work only on standing opponents?

Here's a weird glitch - every time I plug in my iPhone 6, my game slows down when heavy effects happen. KOF is the only game that it does this too. Even if I hit "don't allow" it still has issues.

I feel some vega / sagat normals with Love Heart, she has amazing horizontal range, wish she had better or more colors tho

Finished all of the trials outside of the two bosses because I didn't unlock them yet. They should have included some combos where you hop/hyper hop and crouching lights into specials to give us a more well rounded view of the character. I'm just glad there aren't any HD mode combos to worry about. Shit was all good in KOF13 til SNK started asking us to do shoryuken into reverse shoryuken repeatedly with Kyo.
Now off to training mode and party vs.

Hey, I'm working on a review, and I was wondering: Is the 6-player 3v3 Party Mode new to the series?
El Sabroso
Member
unless you count the ages of arcades when a friend tells ya, leave me the 3rd character and I got your back, is entirely new to the series
is likely resembling that backup from arcades lol

Sweet. Thanks!
No, works on crouching opponent from what I saw

According to LI Joe, this is Xhao Hai's current tier list.

This is not xiaohai tier list.

same was said for vanilla SF4, but Indestructible was really Indestructible, Follow me is the new Indestructible, you gonna find out later
Anyone putting time into Mian?
Love her design and animation so much. She has a very interesting set of moves and normals, feels pretty unique.
Doesn't look like she benefits from quick max much, raw activation should be very useful though since she gains about three moves with invincible start up.
From Ryan Hart's interview with Oda:

From Ryan Hart's interview with Oda:
Am I right in assuming A = light punch B = light kick C = heavy punch D = heavy kick? I'm fighting game trash who still picks up all the new fighting games. I'm pretty lost with XIV at the moment.
Yes, it follows the old MVS cabs setup.

What's up with the blocking of screenshots in this game? Is there any game mode that you can take them? I haven't checked on saving vids, but I have seen vids uploaded to YouTube, although not sure if that's the Share feature or TV recording software.
I'm yet to see that ending directly (so far finished with Another World, Official Invitation, China and Japan, since they seem to be the more plot-relevant ones), but from what I've read about the AoF ending, I get the impression it's meant to be a counterpart to SNK's own business during the pachislot days, where the dojo could represent (fighting) game development and the restaurant stuff the pachislot business bringing in the money.
I don't feel quite ready for online yet, since first I want to take everyone for a spin in story mode, but I'm liking what I've tried of Mian (at least one of her specials is really easy to cancel into supers, which is great for a combo-impaired guy like myself - haven't quite gotten the hang of her dive kicks though, which could be important) and Meitenkun (the keep-away game looks strong, as his slow command projectile can give you room to fully charge his charge moves).
It's also pretty neat that Daimon's rush combos lead to special/super throws - I suck at grapplers, so this is one way to try and use the power bar with a character like him.
Also, that retrospective in the China team ending is wonderful for my KoF cast hopes...

so have anyone found all of the team edits?

Some guys at GameFAQs are working on it and have found a whole bunch, with only one more team remaining:
Edit: Although worth pointing out these may not be 100% accurate. I'm trying to follow that thread I linked for updates, so sorry if it's not spot on.

i'm missing one team, the one that it is missing in the list. thanks

bad gameplay lol
There REALLY needs to be an option to turn off the touchpad for position resets in training/trial mode. It's so easy to accidentally hit it when doing motions. ;_;
So Nakoruru states Verse is a collection of souls from different eras, which would definitely mean her era too. Interesting!
Kurki has some connection to Verse (or at least a soul that may reside within him and is now set free).
Verse is stated not to be dead per say, and could return (boo!).
So whom will we see resurrected then? Saiki (KOFXIII) is definitely the being who disturbed time nako referred to.
Who will we see return to KOF? Rugal? NESTS members? The Hakesshu? Will the now living Hizoku clan members killed by Ron come into play?

Oh man, party battle netcode is so legit.
I'm in Canada and have been playing in US and Japanese rooms all day.
I don't even look at connection bars, even if our group is filled with 1 bar connection players it's still very playing over 90% of the time (and by very playable I mean I'm confirming combos even from lights and doing on reaction reversals).

played the whole evening with friends yesterday. everyone liked it after they got over the initial graphics impression. felt and played like kof, i think that's what matters overall. everyone had fun. they just need to fix the netcode to get new people in. it's easier to pull the old timers in.

So my network games have been really, really shitty. The game mentioned that I should play in NAT2, and from what I can tell I could set "NAT filtering" to "Open" in my router to achieve this. But it's warning me that I'll get less protection.
Apparently another option is to set a static IP to my PS4 and enter that in "Default DMZ Server", but I'm not sure I know how to set this up on the PS4.
Either way, network is basically unplayable right now. Very annoying. I've played tons of online fighters and KoF14 is the first time there's a problem.
Edit: Okay, I figured out static IP and it's working much better now.

REMINDER:
There is currently a free dynamic (moving & rotating images) King of Fighters XIV PS4 theme on the PSN store.
Probably the best and most stylish free theme I've seen given away IMO.

I play this better on controller than I do on a stick for some reason. Also, it feels like the basic moves like heavy punch don't register in trial mode half the time for me.

Finally got back home and KoF14 was waiting for me! \o/
Time to hop on training mode for the rest of the day.

I seriously can't get over how beautiful the Kyo Classic costume looks. Just emphasizes how stupid is his new costume is, lol.
I really hope they release more costumes. I'd love to see Garou Terry and maybe some variations of Athena's old designs, or her goddess look.

You know it's a 100% Damage KOF combo vid when people are getting chased into the corner by fireballs!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7zs5m99Tlg
That's a solid amount of CDMs doing 220-or-so damage even after loads of previous hits.

Yeah. I'm from New York City
So We have that PSN Matchmaking section in the OP... what say we actually try to fill it? I figure this would be a good format:
GAF Name ----- PSN NAME ----- Location (Country/Region).
And c'mon Tizoc, we should have at LEAST added http://kof14.commandlists.com/ to the pile of useful media by now!
Probably should at least put a few more reviews under the REVIEW section, and maybe even a link to the current Metacritic, assuming, it's still as good as it was before (I don't follow the site personally.)
