Weird. I saw that exact post on GameFAQs.

Expect he said that was what he HOPED for.

So, Here's hoping XVI plays like 2k2.

Honestly, i don't think the game have to stay in the past. It must evolve, otherwise what it doesn't evolve dies. Is people who needs to change their minds and accept that time goes by. I don't see SF community playing SF3Alpha. SF's community switched to SFIV and now to SFV. KOF community needs to do the same and accept that XIII and now XIV are today's KOF and 98 and 2002 were fine but they are the past. If KOF players install themselves in the past, no matter what SNKP does, KOF will die for sure.

If the roster was like it is now, I would play Andy, Luong and King. But since we all already know the full roster, my main team is Mai, King and Mature. However, I really liked Luong and I'm waiting to see new woman in chinese mask and some other new ones (like brazilian ninja), so I don't know... My team could change or I could have a second team the day that I can test the game.

At the end of april the game will be shown in Japan for first time. Tokyo and Osaka (Snkplaymore's home). And it will be very first KOF XIV tournament. I'm expecting some iconic japanese character reveal for the occasion. Mai is one option, but maybe after Athena they prefer to reveal a guy. Maybe Ryo, or Joe, or Goro. Pure specualation, of course. We'll see...

Mai after Athena?. I'll be surprised. Like, really surprised if true.

Indeed!

We could have 2 veterans and 1 new this time, or 3 veterans like before.

In hopes that we do get another trailer tomorrow, I've been trying to find more patterns... and I have found them.

For both the 8th and 9th trailers, the time of of announcement and the time if reveal have both been 14 hours apart.

I'm not too sure how time zones work on Twitter, but from where I'm seeing it, both announcements of a trailer came at the 3:00 AM mark while both reveals of the trailer came at the 5:00 PM mark.

Maybe I should stop looking so deep into this; there's a chance I'll end up hyping myself and others only to be disappointed when the next trailer doesn't come when I expect it to come :P

I'm expecting another trailer today & yes, the trailer usually arrives about 5:00 - 6:00 pm GMT time. If it doesn't then it doesn't.

Do any of you remember the hype for KOF XIII? Well their website was surely kept busy for the months until release. It all accumulated something like this...

Character reveals and bios 10 weeks.
Billy & saiki reveal 2 weeks.
New changes to the console version 4 weeks/4 videos.
Boss reveals & bios 2 weeks.
Combo video showing some new properties added to characters.
Tournament showing the game with pro players. 4 weeks/4 videos.
All character specials, EX, DM, SDM, NEOMAX, SUPER CANCEL, DRIVE CANCEL, MAX CANCEL timing windows, 11 weeks/11 videos.

Advanced combos 3 weeks/3 videos

After release.

In depth Game System overview 6 weeks/videos.
Kyo, iori, mr karate. With their respective move guides and properties. 3 weeks/3 videos.

Not counting after release content.
37 weeks = 9 months until it was released, this is a rough estimate. So I'm guessing July - august for its release.

These are not in order by any means, but is a rough example of the content they issued every week. The hype was crazy good & so was KOF XIII itself.  I'm just hoping for a repeat of the past game. Maybe the character reveal video trailers for XIV are just their way of showing who's in the game, much like the KOF XIII picture & bios.

Sorry for the huge type up guys. Oh I had to type this twice, the first one got deleted whilst I typed on my phone


I think two veterans and one new this time. Joe, Ryo & girl with the golden mask.

Oh and welcome to the boards Arkayruz.

I remember been so hyped entering the site almost every day to see the new additions to the roster :D LOVE IT!
Pretty much the same I'm doing now with 14, is insane how much I love this franchise (almost as much as MGS)

Oh and welcome to the boards Arkayruz.

Thanks everyone, its great to wait for the game with you guys :3

Good times... MGS story is sweet.

From Facebook's KOF WORLD:

"THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV:
A New Teaser Trailer is going to be revealed soon! Stey tuned!!"

Can't handle the Kensou expectations!

I remember hype for XIII. I don't remember what happened back then, but that feeling of hype and excitement was something I had never experienced before. To be part of community and all that stuff. Too bad I didn't have console back then, so first time I got chance play was during Steam release.

Maybe this time I have the console when XIV is released.

Another trailer. Such an agonizing wait again. I'll be at hospital at this rate

[Shiranui_ninja]

Man, this is crazy. A trailer each week?? It seems they want to reveal full roster soon. Maybe it's because the game looking is more final now. Some months ago Oda said the game was at 70%... Maybe now it is at 90% or more.

I hardly doubt Mai will be revealed after Athena. My guesses:

-2 veterans: Ramon and Yuri
-1 new: Chang and Choi companion

or

-2 veterans: Ramon and Ryo
-1 new: Alice
