videoman Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 4Gamer Interview with SNK Part 1 http://www.mmcafe.com/news/posts/10196.html Part 2 http://www.mmcafe.com/news/posts/10198.html
SolxBaiken Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 That was super informative, and now I am even more assured and excited for life beyond XIV! (please let Last Blade 3 become a reality lol) Though it makes me sad that development tech is so secretive in Japan, would've been cool to see a Xrd style SNK game, but it looks like that clashes with their philosophy. But this just means things will only get better from here on out~<3

I'd have believed them for saying that if it weren't for how they've drawn most everyone's faces. Xuan Dou Zhi Wang's CG artstyle of all things falls more in line with their philosophy.

ASW wouldn't be able to help in this case. They are not working for free. It takes time to teach people new technologies, that's mainly the issue here. KOF 15 will probably be much better, I'm not too worried about this. If we can trust what he's saying at least.

Oda specifically said that after XIII people got the idea that KoF was anime when that isn't really the case. In this interview they said they tried to do a very realistic look but the characters came out weird. The art style very much fits in line with 94 Shinkiro artwork, which is how Oda has always envisioned the KoF series and is what they're going for. Shinkiro's style is very distinct in that there is a lot of realism to what he draws but there are also very obvious anime/eastern influences. It's not realistic, it's not anime, it's somewhere inbetween, and that is what they are going for. If you ask me they did a pretty decent job at it. It looks and feels like KoF, it's very distinct and that's what it should be. A lot of people say that they wanted the game to look like Xrd but in my opinion that would suck because it would be obvious that they are just imitating Xrd, which would mean this game would have less of its own identity. I don't want KoF to look like other games, I want KoF to look like KoF, just like it always has.

I would have prefered Xrd graphics (and less characters) instead of something that looks like a fanmade game made with poser. I guess all the talented artists have left SNK long time ago. But whatever, I just hope the gameplay is on point.

SolxBaiken Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Team South America along with some exhibition play from E3 Exhibition play
videoman Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Quote Bandeiras Hattori – A self-trained ninja who practices the legitimately dangerous art of, uh, Brazilian ninjutsu (not to be confused with Brazilian jiu-jitsu!). Basically, Bandeiras is a 100% certified Brazilian ninja who wants to win the tournament to earn respect and get students for his dojo. Zarina – The savior of rain forests! She wants to raise money and awareness for the environment, and has zero issues beating up competitors in the name of nature. Zarina will dazzle opponents with her acrobatic Capoeira fighting style and is a strong member of this team. Oh, she’s also bringing along her adorable toucan friend Coco. Nelson – The boxing prodigy who wants to punch his way to the top in order to raise money for a loved one. He lost one of his arms in an accident, but was lucky enough to receive a mysterious cybernetic replacement that you could say gives him the upper hand during fights. With his fancy footwork and nasty hooks, Nelson will be a difficult opponent for anyone.

SolxBaiken Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 zzz About what I expected, never been a fan of Angel (seriously, one of the WORST NESTS characters) but in an entry lacking both Blue Mary and May Lee, maybe she'll have more practicality (still don't like her though). Ramon is another character I've never jived with (again, worst character on the Agents Team . . .) in coming El Fuerte players. Kingosaurus is the only member of this team I'm even mildly interested in, and (at least from early impressions) things aren't looking good for him . . . If past entries are any indication, this might be the team with the overall least played members.
Angry Guy of DE Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Ramon has a pick me up move that is super cancel-able. He might not be able to do much with MAX mode but any of his moves that allow the pick me up into super makes him able to constantly confirm supers. Angel probably will have pretty good normals or be tricky once she starts pressure. Blue Mary won't be as amazing as she was in the past...she was pretty amazing. King of the D has Clark's guardpoint grab so KoF13 shenanigans are still alive. He apparently seems the weakest but if his jump gets less floaty he could be viable.
SolxBaiken Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 39 minutes ago, Angry Guy of DE said: He might not be able to do much with MAX mode That's an unfair assessment, we saw NONE of his EX moves, and MAX mode isn't JUST for combos, some characters actually benefit from using it for neutral. Also, keep in mind the first pick up > super combo ONLY worked cause he was in the corner, otherwise that would've whiffed. You'll probably be expending a lot of meter if you're going to always go for super confirm with him, so if you want to use him outside of anchor, it'll probably be best to go for knockdown and mixups like in past games (unless you can guarantee a kill). It'll definitely be worth waiting to see how his EXs come into play. 39 minutes ago, Angry Guy of DE said: Blue Mary won't be as amazing as she was in the past...she was pretty amazing. What? Blue Mary isn't in this entry . . .
