As for Kof XIV, we now know that E. Ogura is doing the art as well.
I agree that KOF XIII might be the best looking 2D-fighter ever, but the style has bothered me since I first saw the new sprites in XII (I'd even argue that XII looks better than XIII).Best looking HD 2D fighter I have seen is without a doubt Guilty Gear XX, but its animation is choppy. Best animated is Samurai Shodown 3 with Art of Fighting 3 close behind. I am not a fan of two-toned outlined Capcom sprite art.
How about those slim characters? Kula looks better, Ash is fantastic (and elegant), K' looks more cocky (at the cost of personality, when looking at pre-battle dialogues...), Elisabeth looks better than in XI (but she plays better in XI) and Leona is better than ever (good that they changed the outfit, that old one was hideous).
Apparently art direction was handled by Nona. He is bit of hit and miss. Sometimes he draws something that I comes to mind first when I think some character (Wild Iori in SVC Chaos) and ending artwork in XI can be weird, but it's actually good (Ralf and Clark actually look old).
I'm one hell of a XI fanboy. I like the character artwork (in my mind best in the series) and in-game artwork is good (they look like characters are having fun). Backgrounds might lifeless at first, but they're actually good looking.
The Fluke mentioned Darkstalkers. I actually started thinking one thing. I think SVC Chaos Demitri looks much better than the Darkstalkers Demitri. I wondred if Darkstalkers was handled by SNK back in the day and in-game style would've been KOF-styled, it probably would've looked damn fantastic.
But anyway, despite it being an old build, I like some of what was shown at Taipei, including the new characters. I'm probably going to be an anti-TrueOrochinagi in that characters sporting new designs will be even more appealing to me than their classic versions. Robert is looking really nice, I'm ok with Beni's look, yet more glad than not that K' stayed the same. Would be awesome if Terry officially sported his Garou look, but maybe that will be an alternately offered outfit.You know, Bloom is growing on me. He is no Robert, either in experience or finesse but he is an acceptable replacement. At this point, I will probably still pick this up as long as gameplay is rock solid. Robert and Yamazaki would definitely add to my excitement for the game, but I suppose I could overlook their exclusion if everything else holds up. I also like what I have seen so far. Not as much as I may have in past installments, but nevertheless.
The interviews with Oda are slowly giving me more and more pre-release confidence. We'll see what happens by release, but I do love their ambition and aim up to this point. Looking forward to more gameplay videos from Taipei too, or hope there's as much to show as from PSX.
Gato Ray posted some footage from the TGS demoShame, it looks like the December build... Well, at least a few character reveals preceded it.
Best Robert is fat Robert.Don't even joke about that. That character almost ruined Tekken 6 in its entirety. Only place a character that bad deserves to be is in a Capcom game:
To me Robert doesn't look bad at all

And I'm sure 5th trailer Kyo is not final.
