Yep! It's Athena's costume and two themes in a 'holiday pack'.
Trailer for Athena's Costume, MERRY CRISTMASU!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63PIWEPQcNg
That's cute.
That's cute.
Made a thread.
Also, like mentioned in the thread, according to SRK, Shun'ei and Sylvie DLC costumes might be hitting China next month (free).
That would be interesting since they have no classic costumes for use, we could probably see some alternate or unused designs.
If so then it would be really nice if they also used some of those unused new designs for Mai from the artbook.
He still seems to be China only for now.

A DLC costume for Sylvie? I uh...look forward to the strange creation it will end up being.

Shun'ei and Sylvie? I'd expected for Terry and Mai to be next.
I wonder if that means every team will get a costume. If so, I hope this means a Tizoc alt for KoD
IIRC that one was exclusive for month due being part of China's premium edition.

Any updates on the new demo?
Dying to see the new look or shaders for the game.

Did we know were ere getting the FU'UN SUPER COMBO on PSN?
(^_^)Vm
I actually hope Sylvie's is her casual-with-glasses look. I hope Shun'ei's is enough to make people flock to him, lol. For the new hero, I barely feel like he exist at times.

98 Athena is up on the NA store.
A demo for it should be coming out either this week or the next.
Damn, it's nice to see SNK finally delivering the more obscure stuff.
Kizuna Encounter's sprites are so nice. Kim Sue Il looks so slick (dat phoenix kick), he and Rosa are my faves.
.
Speaking of the Sylvie and Shun'ei DLC, apparently AT_Ryo_Sakazaki got the word from Chinese social media. Here's a tweet:
Shun'ei... cute?
The game is awesome and SNK's post-launch support has been excellent, jump in whenever you have time.
Nice reverse OCV!

Kim Sue Il alt for Kim in KOFXIV pls.

Athena 98 is out in the american PSN for free
Definitely is, I was surprised to see no speaking on an import release from them on PSN. I dislike the PSN community, lol. They seemed like they cared nothing about smaller titles on PS3 and Vita, and both XB1 and PS4 seem worse for this now, so it feels like no hype whatsoever, -100.
I always thought Rosa looked cool, and watching the release trailer for this collection, I realize it's yet another fighter I spent way too little time with...
Not like Kim Kap's costume is that different in XIV, Su Il for XIV x2!
A "cute" Shun'ei... ok... for the ladies? Sure, why not. Imagined if they changed his hands to kitty paws, or... something.
For me, it's better than the rest, though of course I'm a bit bias.
Revelator looks better, but... GG's systems are kinda meh to me most of the time. I hate the disconnect between something LOOKING powerful, and something BEING powerful, due to their scaling systems and such. This applies to CF too, but less.
Central Fiction feels almost too easy to get into at times, and then overly complex at the same time, with an average middle ground that feels like you're not getting the full fun out of either side. It's the most I've liked BB since release, though.
SFV just pushes me away from it, partially because, while it was front loaded with favs (Mika, Karin), I don't care for almost any of the "DLC" cast (may change in S2), and offline VS being stuck with stage themes (which IS changing in S2) really made playing local VS much more boring than it needed to be. Not to mention the lack of money and rewards from Local Play makes it feel like, the main way I like to play it was WORTHLESS, when I have stages and character I need fight money to earn. Like a slap in the face for playing the main way fighters are competitively played.
To me, KoF generally feels like it satisfies the likes I get from each game (rush of combos, a mix of technical and simple characters, satisfying supers and stuff that HURT MASSIVELY when pulled off right, etc), but all within itself, rather than only serving one side or the other like the others do.
Man, Athena's classic costume is so damn nice, it even makes her animation look better since part of it is no longer being hidden by the puffy dress.
Seems there is an English option in the settings so that's nice.
But yeah, was looking at that trailer and kept thinking why I didn't put more time into it as well, it looks so good. Most likely because it wasn't being played much on Kaillera etc. back in the day.
Don't even joke about that man -_-
Yeah this thread is going to be biased (just like the SFV and GG threads would also be biased if you asked them the same question) but I agree with SAB CA.
You can just really feel the love for fans from SNK in this game, from the freaking huge and awesome cast to the excellent post launch support. It's a great overall package with super tight gameplay.
It also feels pretty damn good when you aren't being nickle and dimed for everything.

He'd probably end up looking like Chloe from T7.

I'd rate them ...
BBCF > KoF14 >> Xrd R >>>>>>>>>>>>>> SF5.
Gameplay-wise i like KoF14 and BBCF about equally, both are amazing. BBCF juuuust edges it out on the super nice lobbies it has and some extra single player modes and such. Like tutorials.
Out of those two i'd definitely recommend getting the one whose characters you like the look/style of best though. Not everyone likes the animeeee. And BBCF is very much that. Also some people think KoF14 looks bad for some reason. ¯\(O_°)/¯

I prefer playing SF over it only because I'm not used to the hops and jumps that are prominent in KOF. But overall I think its an amazing fighter. Not sure how I'd rank SFV, KOF14, and MKXL. All three are great.

Wasn't the KOF XIV demo supposed to be updated with the new graphics in December?
Awesome, thought it would be at the end of the month.
The demo should be hitting very soon then.

gameplay wise you named bbcf and kof better because of modes? do you play fighting games. Guilty Gear is probably the best game play and system mechanics wise, game modes are really just meaningless in fighters. Kof has the same problems as SF5 with the gameplay being so limited.

What's so limited about KOF's gameplay?
It has freaking 4 different types of jumps and rolls.
Pick full teams to get their endings.
There are also a few special endings/art if you pick specific characters for a team.
And there are unique character specific pre-fight conversations. For example Terry and Dino, Kim and Luong etc.

Yes, i play them. You're certainly free to think GG is the 'best' but i don't agree. It -looks- the best and does a lot of things right, but i don't like many of the gameplay design decisions they made in it. I prefer BB or KoF. Or Tekken. I still like Xrd R though. Just didn't really do it for me as much as i had hoped.
Also i don't think going around attacking other games/people is the best way to gain more support for your obviously favorite game. Seen quite a few GG fans do so and i'm now more inclined to just pass on the next title in the series.
I'm not part of this conversation but was lurking so I want to chime in you. I'm with you 100%. I do think GG Rev's the best FG of the year, and also has the most love put into it compared to recent games, yet its impenetrable to me.
I can understand, learn and have fun with almost any other fighting game - loved the shit out of marvel 3 and SF4, doing decent with Sim and Juri in SFV, played the shit out of MKX and BB too, but can't have fun in GG for some reason.
I don't know if it's because of the neutral in GG relying so heavily on RCs. When I watch a pro match for that game dudes do fireballs RC or whiffed normals RC and that kind of playstyle just seems weird and hard to learn to me.
KOF14 on the other hand has been a bittersweet game for me. I've spent years playing almost every fighting game ever besides VF, and no game has been 'up my alley' like KOF14 has. It has a little bit of everything that I love from various games - the combos and air mobility of marvel, run combos of mkx, footsies/neutral from street fighter, etc. 14 feels like a game custom built to overthrow marvel 3 as my favorite FG. But none of my friends care. My biggest FGC friend is all in on SFV, while others flip flop between SF and others for a couple weeks. :S
I'm assuming both Revelator and 14 are dead online. Please correct me if Im wrong. I'd love to main either of these games over SFV, which while being fun, isn't too amazing, but I feel like I missed the boat on both these games
GG is my favorite fighter this gen, and I haven't played KoFXIV past the demo, but I have to say, for all the hate SFV gets, nothing in SFV is worse than Xrd's YRC in neutral. It's like getting a VTrigger activation for 25 meter, and along with the freeze and eating your opponent input you slow them down a bit making an otherwise unpunishable stuff punishable. It break the general flow of the game and is the most infuriating thing to deal with in a recent fighter.
Overall preference for gameplay and system mechanics is subjective, but Xrd, like every other fighter is not without its flaws.
GCC Majors KoFXIV top 8 is live, some really high level play, Lacid is there:

gameplay in KOF being limited lol what the fuck foh
we take those
They aren't, just don't rely on ranked. Fill that friendlist, get in lobbies, use discord so you can play on a regular basis.
No, you're not wrong. Even Joe's armband has more fabric texture to it than the new version.
The textures look like they have taken a hit while the shaders improved.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Yeah I noticed that too, particularly with Leona's gloves.

I think the less detailed textures work better stylistically. The old glove texture just looks off.
How is the commercial dynamic theme for this game?

How is the legacy support? Can I get any PS3 stick and it will work?
I ask because I found a local place that sells custom sticks for cheap but they only have for PS3 and the seller isn't sure it would work on the game.
