Character breakdown



I still can't say I'd be a fan of every pick people think of for this game. As I stated in my other post I'm really tired of the boss syndrome crap (even with Goenitz getting serviceable rep at East Coast Throwdown back in October) and I can't think of much who'd be missing from XIV that would be easy to implement while appealing at the same time. Crossing that off the list gets you all the boring one-off characters which would require more effort and wouldn't really offer a lot that KoF hasn't done before in either the 2D or 3D spaces. I can't say I'm a fan of MI characters joining and I really don't think SNK would be able to go ham with guest characters outside of other SNK franchises because they don't really have enough money for it (just like how Game Freak is a "small indie company" only SNK actually puts effort into their most successful franchise)

I'm not a fan of all picks either, especially people who keep asking for Orochi, Vic/Mature and Daimon (nothing against them but those were all confirmed to not making into this game for story reasons from day one). As far as non-SNK guests go I personally would prefer some more obscure picks, like a character from Fighters History or Power Instinct, which are also not that hard to license.

The DLC wouldn't only be just the "fan favorites" that they're missing, or at least I wouldn't think it'd be that. A decent amount of the past DLC was recycled from... something, Team South Town was just a bunch of characters from XIV that werent in the base game, of course people made a big stink over the orochi versions of CYS, 3/5ths of season 2 were also XIV vets, Rock and Nakoruru are standout recycled content compared to other members in their teams who were actually new. It's been a pretty common theme for KoF especially since the DLC isnt Smash huge or whatever and the older games were full of recycling and regurgitating.

I get that there are a lot of fan favorite characters who havent appeared in a while but at the same time it gets really tiring hyping them up because they've been in games before and arent exactly "new" content. Kasumi is reasonable, Shen is... okay I guess since duo lon and elizabeth are also there, boss syndrome shit is just really tiring because all of the characters with that special treatment wind up becoming mid tier at best and their boss versions are really just yuotube content fodder. World Heroes and Maximum Impact content wouldnt fit with the kind of style SNK is going for now. I don't hate MI but I don't really understand why so many people hype it up, especially since it was just a small line of spinoff games and wasn't actually canon to the main games.

Every character has its fans. People like them, people want them. It's that simple. And with SNK opening the floodgates for characters from different universes showing up I don't see how they wouldn't fit. Heck, Samurai Shodown and World Heroes characters were supposed to join KoF as back as 95, so there's that too.

Samurai Shodown got four season passes, the last one while KoF XV was well into development, there's no way in hell this game is done with just two seasons. Also SNK has gotten a lot more manpower now than they had during SamSho's development and a lot more money as well so they can definitely afford it.

As far as characters go, there's still quite a lot of highly requested chars that haven't made the cut yet (Kasumi, Jhun, Shen Woon, Krizalid for the boss challenge, a MI rep, a World Heroes rep, etc) so there's more than enough they can pull from.

...I am just hoping for the newcomers from the scrapped MotW 2 to show up in this game

...am I asking for too much?

I think that's a reasonable thing to ask for, honestly. I felt the same way when they did the initial reveal last year, especially since it was hot off all of the Garou 2 assets getting dumped online.

I did like the new trailer but at the same time I have the same worry as everyone else that they're just gonna dump all of the FF characters that were already in KoF into the game and call it a day. I wasn't as worried about this when they revealed that Andy and Joe were gonna be in somewhere (since they were in the aforementioned leaks) but all of the talk about Mai's voice really heightened it as I really would've wanted them to keep their promise about her not playing as big of a role due to her getting old (or something like that).

Billy, Andy and Joe (especially Andy) were shown to have new designs in the official art so we can be sure Mai and any other potential FF character coming from KoF will follow the same route.

Speaking of Mai, there is one XV mod that gives her a geisha kimono, would really like her to have a design like that in this game.

Give or take, this game will probably feature the Garou cast (14 characters), plus Andy, Joe, Mai, Billy, plus three or four newcomers. This would give us a starting roster of around 20/22 characters.

This of course not taking DLC into account, which this game will surely have. Characters like Rick are obvious DLC material.

I want this game to have a City Tour mode similar to SFVI World Tour mode, which could be its story mode. In this mode, you travel around South Town. It can do something similar but more condensed. You are playing as an original character going on missions and learning from the masters.

Please no. I'd rather follow the stories of the actual characters and not a faceless oc. WT was fine and all but making it the main story mode was a huge mistake.

Hokutomaru, Kevin Rian
Many are saying that it's actually Andy and Billy Kane.
The voice just before Mai sounds way old for Hokutomaru, but for Kevin, just before the "fire" that might be Billy, isn't that also Kevin's "bingo" kick super ? And the airport was already his stage in MotW too right ? I love his style and I hope he comes back, same for Jae Hoon. And Freeman. I think Grant's staying dead though.
Is Jenet not there ?

I do expect a story mode that takes place after Mark of the Wolves and might see those characters from that canceled* (more like postponed) Neo-geo sequel along with brand new characters.

I really want for those characters to appear, they're too good to go to waste.

Various voices can be heard during the trailer, namely Hokutomaru, Mai Shiranui, B. Jenet, Kevin Rian, Marco Rodrigues, Hotaru Futaba, Gato, and Tizoc, so I guess that confirms those characters will be in. The trailer also points to various locations on both "old" Southtown and Second Southtown: Geese Tower, National Park (Ryo in AoF2 and Joe in FF3), Southtown Airport (Eiji in AoF2 and Franco in FF3), Abandoned Dojo (Mr. Karate) Live House "Old Line" and Factory (Mr. Big in AoF).

I mean, they are, they literally are, its just a different coloring style.

I mean, the models were tweaked enough (compare the details on Terry's jacket or his face, for example) to not look exactly the same. The game is also going for a unique semi cel-shading style, different from XV.

Seems they have an actual budget this time. It already looks quite a lot better.

Also good this isn't just a expansion pack and they're updating the whole game engine.

She seems to have a new, unique mechanic where she absorbs power from the opponent, it appears as a symbol to the side of her power meter.

Also new stages finally!
