Which KoF had the worst roster? I don't ever remember the roster being the issue for any installment...

I can't even stand a roster that has more than 15% kawaii trash and yet unlike many fighters KoF has never broken that rule.

Just because a character is kawaii doesn't make them trash.

Not every character has to be a generic big buff dudebro alpha male.

If the leak is true then this KOF roster will be the worst roster a canonical KOF ever had. I would prefered Chizuru instead of Alice and an Agent Team with Mary, Ramon and Vanessa, instead of Mexico Team. It's stupid to have country names teams and no-country names teams. Kim's team looks too forced and pretty absurd. Nakoruru and pachinko girls team is a mess that will make people see this KOF as a joke.

But anyway, as long as I have Mai, King and Mature and some classic teams to recognize it as a KOF, it's fine to me.

So many lies in this

It's an opinion, i don't think it represents the truth or falsehood^^

Lol obviously it was an opinion

But still, the cast is by far not the worse in KOF.

That is photoshop... Trailer contained a frame of XIII styled boxes in no particular arrangement.

It does not mean anything, because no KoF game has lacked a portrait/sprite display for both players unless they were pirated. Leaked list could be the product of a simple brain storm early in development. Wait until real information is available on December 5th.

NO IT'S NOT

If it's still hard to grasp (shouldn't but apparently it's so) then you'll see it's there on the actual trailer

THE GAME WILL HAVE 48 CHARACTERS!!!! Let's accept that now.

Whatever you say....

1. Those old barebones polygonal models are useless.

2. Animations cannot be transferred from 2D to 3D smoothly and can only serve as a reference (same as motion capture).

3. The change in art style is clear as day in the modeling and bone structure is different.

*Too little information is available to make an educated guess with respect to the roster and high expectations will leave many disappointed.

Hmph



This plus the leak list means we're getting 48. There is no doubting it. Let's accept the reality.

Guys there are clearly 48 slots, I don't understand why there are still doubts.

I seriously love how Dream Cancel's approach to KOFXIV was less destructive of any other gaming community -KOF focused or not- I've been taking news from.

As for the gameplay, we can only guess SNKP is striving to keep as faithful to KOFXIII as possible, but there isn't enough material to be sure about how it's gonna play.

Roster? The newest teaser analysis seems to hint at the leaked 48+2 characters roster, but I'm more inclined to think there will be 30 or so chars.

I understand the graphics are PS2 tier, but hey, why wasn't there such fierce negative criticism when KOF was brought to Atomiswave and it could get Guilty Gear-like visuals? Unless Ledo is helping SNKP directly (ie. giving them lots and lots of $$$) in the development of this game, we can't ask for anything much better than the graphics shown in the second teaser. Kyo's new appearance looks heavily inspired by Japanese and Korean male pop idols...does SNKP want today's young girls to have the hots for him? xD

The main theme sounds to me like current era pop-rock specifically crafted to lure younger audiences in. I have a strong tendency not to like such songs, but this theme is an exception, it actually gets me hyped...maybe I'm too much of a fanboy x'D Voice actors should be the same, but I'm having a hard time recognizing Kyo's voice...too much noise when he's speaking xD

Naw we are definitely getting 48

Pretty excited for the character roster, even though I was really hoping Momoko and Vanessa would return.
