Awesome! So then there’s only 2 more character reveals to go, huh? Hopefully we get another surprise addition outside of the kofxiv roster like they did with Shermie.

The game looks kind of simple and fun... but the aesthetic is painfully cheesy.

I'm still pre-ordered, but the roster is turning out to be disappointingly like a riff on KOF XIV. Probably makes sense from a development point of view so they can re-use assets while building cash for a major release, but this game needed a few more characters to create its own identity. Rosa, Kisarah, Fio, and others would have worked. Well, maybe we'll get 1 more outsider.

Terry is best waifu. Sugoi.

DLC characters are a given, and I get a feeling they're purposefully holding some popular choices back in order to snag some of that sweet, sweet DLC moolah.

The lack of King and Eri or Fio is pretty alarming to me. King is technically the OG SNK fighting game woman since AOF came out before FF2. What gives? Sure, she's guaranteed to be a DLC character, but she deserves an original roster spot.

I'd love to see Fio! I missed out on KOF XIV, maybe this wouldn’t be a bad purchase for me.

I guess we cannot blame SNK Playmore for trying to make original characters, even though I never really played pachislot/pachinko games.

Mui Mui is a new character from KOF 14. I know a lot of the old school SNK fans want older characters. But when you aren't supporting their new stuff, why would they try to appeal to you

As a business, they should be appealing to their customer base. If we don't care about a throwaway pachislo character who got included in their mixed result attempt at a new KOF, why are we held accountable for "not supporting SNK?" That is the whole point, vote with your wallet and maybe they will try a little harder.

We definitely don't have to support their new stuff just to keep them alive; Ledo is already doing that. But this game seems to be directly aimed at an Asian audience so I don't think they have crazy sale expectations for the west.

Exactly and you don't have to visit Japan to know that the cuter something is the better it will sell.

I thought I read she originally came from pachislot games back in 2004.

I miss Shiki. How dare they not put a character in this game from their failed Neo Geo 64 arcade board. Seriously though, I do miss shiki. Would probably have been too much work to make her from scratch since they're basing this on/using their 3D KOF models.

Game looks like shit and is goofy as fuck. Anybody who supports this crap must be a gormless plonker.

After Guilty Gear Xrd and Dragon Ball Fighter Z I kind of wish everyone just let Arc Systems make their 3D re-imagining of old 2D fighter games. The 3D in this just looks wrong, as it has in all the 3D KOF games too.

Cause thats what we really need, a KoF that plays like Guilty Gear.

I think it's great that they are trying something new. It's been a while since a new SNK franchise has come out. Maybe there will be a demo closer to release that we'll be able to try out and see for ourselves how cool and good or how brutal it is.
