I know ppl seem to want the next KOF to be a dreammatch but there's no way that's happening so what are you expectations for XIV?
Personally I'm really looking forward to the new original characters they come up with, SNK has been so damn good at this.
Also think its long overdue for the new lead to be a female character.
Curious to see if they in fact killed of Ash, would be sad to see him go as I find him to be very memorable and full of personality. His gameplay also has a unique flavor to it (and goes hand in hand with his personality).
And, of course, looking forward to seeing where SNK takes Kyo and Iori. I personally prefer their XIII versions (for me Iori needed a refresh bad and they nailed it) but overall it seems that NESTs Kyo and classic Iori seem to be more popular.
In terms of the gameplay I think its essential that EX moves and Drive canceling stay.
Oh and the character select music must the same as XIII's.
I don't know whats up with KOFXIII netcode, but I been having great connections online. Heck I played SolidShark, who is in Japan and it all went good. I mean, we could pull some mid-high level combos, that speaks a lot IMO. I have been satisfied with KOFXIII netcode in these past 5 months, obviously they still could improve it, but so far this netcode is on doing great.
Yeah, I still hear bitching here and there but the netcode has been great for me (and I'm on there regularly).
