KOFXIV Announced for 2016

Joe 3 command moves, Yuri 3 DMs, 2 command moves, 6 special moves... And experienced fighters like King only 3 special moves and 1 command move. I don't like that. Many characters used to have more special moves and DMs in older KOFs but they were cutted in XIII. I can understand that since it was like a reboot and SNK had to do everything from scratch. But I was expecting more in KOF XIV, but some just look exact the same they were in XIII and some other have new stuff and more complete move list.
I don't see anything special in Yuri to explain such move list. :P - hater mode off.

King still has one of the best move sets. Her max mode game is top notch, venom strike becomes double strike etc

I like Mai's two giant tits. jk. She looks strong this game, I'd be surprised if she ends up top tier, but I can see her upper or upper-mid (with 50 characters her appearing strong now may not mean much if 20 characters suddenly jump ahead). Where ever she lands she's got a place among my alts (maybe even a main if the other characters I'm looking at don't pan out the way I hope they do).

After looking through the move lists I'm kinda surprised Ralf no longer has any charge moves in his arsenal. He lost a major key to his XIII game "burning hammer" and gains a new move "Ralf impact." He still has gatling attack but now it's hcf+p. Here's what I hope he kept from XIII:
cl.C hits twice and first hit has no pushback.
qcb+AC retains XIII on block properties (+5 on block, qcb+AC cl.C was a true block string with high guard gauge damage and was also an excellent frame trap when slightly delayed)
If Ralf keeps those I'm fine with changes to his other attacks (except his Cs, but those haven't really changed much from older games).

Yuri.

Damn, Yuri is curvier than ever.... She looks okay, better than big eyed 2003-XIII Yuri.

[Shiranui_ninja]

She also looks better than Athena.
Not all characters have been shown yet but I think we can already conclude that Andy and Athena models are the worst ones in this game.

That guy must be friggin crazy.. Bet the other guy felt pitty upon him when pulled that off.

Huh, Amazon UK and DE are listing KOF XIV. Pretty basic prices, around 60 euros. Bit confused on the fact that Day One edition (premium) has same price as normal edition. Maybe I should buy that PS4 next week when I'm again going to the city?

The stages so far and the name of the stage music of each one

Very nice

Heidern must be a one hell of a war lord, judging by that Ikari stage...

Haven't heard all of the themes , but I really dig the K' and Mexico Team songs.
