20 is a decent amount to be on display. Wonder if it will be the 20 characters they have shown already that are going to be usable.

New trailer is out

2 new characters and Athena Asamiya.

Wow, I love new Kim's companion, Luong. Probably she'll be in my team. And I love new South America stage too.

I thought of Spirit Bomb first but that works too, I guess.



The types of combos the new characters do reminds me of how characters play in Xuan Dou Zhi Wang.

Okay!

Athena's new look seems to be inspired by KOF XI's artwork. No more big eyes, good I guess? Outfit looked nice.

Luong had a kinda nice desing and unique looking moves. Multiple stances aren't really my thing, but I don't judge book by it's cover.

Nelson looked quite cool, I liked his hairstyle and gloves. He seems to be replacement for Vanessa, which is kinda shame. It seems we won't be seeing Heavy D! either (seriously, where's USA Sports Team?! Those guys would be great if they get redesinged).

South America stage looked fantastic. SNK sure knows how to make good stages.

Custle, do you post in GameFAQs under the name Kakashi_Lawyer? I'm only asking because you've both made the comment "Nelson is replacing Vanessa, which is a shame" around the same time frame.

Oh. Well then...

I don't get why people would think a new character is replacing an old one just because they have the same fighting style. It's possible for both to coexist and KOF has proved that before.

Nelson's revealed moves look interesting. They might showcase a number of properties that are updated for this game. Two of his attacks slam terry to the ground potentially ground bouncing (probably only one will if either) and his last shown move before the dynamic camera sequence does a wall slam (I'm guessing this is a super). He also has what appears to be a teleport type move.

Athena still has a magical skirt, not only does it never reveal the underside it now allows her legs to pass through it, I'm guessing it's breathable lol (to be fair though, clipping hasn't been that big of a problem in this game, just a few here or there, so far). And that spirit bomb mostly looks like what she did in her XIII Neomax sans goddesses.

Luong's Frankensteiner makes me worried for Clark's. Other than that she seems to have a fast kick special like beni's (but we haven't seen if it has a follow up), she's got an overhead normal (her backflip super might be overhead as well), a move which is probably either a counter or stance (I believe it's a counter), and what appears to be a ranbu style move ending in her dancing on her opponents face. Looks fun.

I can't wait for some of that KSB footage. With 20 characters at that build, I hope we get to see some grapplers, and more Max mode so I we can figure it out more.

EDIT: just realized Luong's stance is probably that fast kick special (making it like Yama's serpent slashes but with feet), she goes into that stance before shooting her foot out each of the other times it's shown in the vid (her first combo, and her super cancel) I didn't even realize how far her foot shot out til I watched her section again.

"Luong's Frankensteiner makes me worried for Clark's."

I also don't get why people would think a new character having a move an old character had means the old character won't have it anymore.

True enough. Leona and Heidern, Clark and Ralf, Kim and Jhun, Kim and Choi, Kyokugens, all these and more prove my worries unfounded.
