Andy's dp... Does it have faster start-up? When he traded with Iori's f+A or far C, his dp still launch Iori in the air. 

Maybe it was a light or heavy variation. Plus the jumps seems normal again.

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:

Shame, it looks like the December build... Well, at least a few character reveals preceded it.

It's the chinese build, it's very similar but concentrated on the played characters that are now tweaked.

[TrueOrochi]

Well, at least the roster is done, even if it currently lacks polish.

50 - (kyo+iori+leona+chang+andy+ kula) - (stripper+king+billy+ralf) - (k'+benimaru+bloom) = 37 remaining

37 - boss = 36

36/3 = 12

If a reveal is every two weeks and it shows off roughly 3 new characters as they seem intent on doing, then we should know the entire roster by July 8th. 2016 Q3 release maybe? Steam release a year later?

It still puzzles me if Steam sales are as profitable as implied...
- KoF '98 FE ~ 70k
- KoF 2002 UM ~ 72k
- KoF XIII SE ~ 345k

I have to wonder how those character desings even managed to be in the game.

I really wish this would come to PC. I don't want to spend my money on PS4 for just one game.

mmcafe interview from Oda

- (KOF is poplular in China. Are there plans to include Chinese character(s)?)
"The game will have Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese support. There will be a stage based on China and Character(s) too so please look forward."

China stage confirmed

[TrueOrochi]

China stage is a given. I hope the horrible Psycho Soldier team is not the team that represents China.

I hope Hon-Fu or Li Xiangfei makes an appearance. They could use a redesign.


I second the Steam support and do not intend to invest $400 into a system to play one game.

The designs do not surprise me that much, just the fact that they defy physics and are ridiculously good with easy execution...

My guess is there will be a Steam port down the line; hopefully sooner rather than later.

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.

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.

Iori has a new back throw(?). It's a slower of C. Iori's command grab, but with both hands. It looks like a hard knockdown.

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.

I love that the biweekly updates keep me in the loop and give me interesting reading material.

Holyshit. Kula's ice breath has less range? She try to use it in blockstring, after cl. C (2 hits), and it looked like it did not connect.

At https://youtu.be/wyY4eervdIk?t=440

The guy tries the same blockstring again and caught a clean st. CD. Crazy.

Haven't actually thought about it but the advanced cancel could be the "return" of the Dream cancel?
