The King Of Fighters XV - SNK's last hope after SamSho2019, 70GB fighting game

It was bound to happen to KOF just like it happened to Guilty Gear, except they didn't completely gut the whole game's identity.

Trannies and content hustling grifters put it on the map in America alongside rollback, so everyone is spewing the same talking points (KOF is hard, 13 best game, can I beat these trials?, I want to fuck everyone in the cast).

Its really tiring, but I dont think latinos who been playing the bootleg 02 off a stolen laptop will take a lot of the gringo shit like this punk post

Want to know the funniest part about this sped's tweet?

Latinos, specially beaners, could care less about online tournaments. They just pirate the game, put it on a bootleg cabinet and hold their own tournaments where the grand price is ten dollars.
That's what happens when less than half of the population can afford Internet.

One of the most retarded things that this game does is how the dj station is somehow locked to online and versus play. You can't even change the stage music for arcade mode fights. It's the same thing that Tekken 7 had (that game did it worse since the option to change the music is exclusive to the Playstation version)..

I'm hoping the devs can be bothered fix this in a patch.

I wish there was a one on one arcade mode like the older games. Just port some levels over from XIV for more variety. They seem good at reusing assets from that game anyway like about 90% of the character animations. They even re-use assets in the new game with teams having the same level, just with different lighting. The game reeks of laziness.

I wanna let you know that in XIV most of animations are reused from KOF XIII, since they rotoscoped sprites over flat color 3D models. Those animations still exist in their database.
so yeah, they're still using unedited 10 yrs old 3D anims that were supposed to be samples for 2D animations. you may say Tekken does the same thing with reusing stuff but Tekken rarely innovates it's gameplay and people don't want them changed.

tbh SNK mocapped some animations including cutscenes in XV but they look overly expressive anyway and they're cheesy as shit.
 
It is weird that characters that were completed and in the last game like Rock are now DLC. Geese is a bigger fuck you to customers because he was in the core roster of 14.

it makes no sense. Billy wasn't DLC now he is. Mary was DLC now she isn't. they could've ported everyone (except obviously bad characters like shun'ei) and focus on new characters.

they made wacky KOF11 inspired teams and they're just gonna profit off of fan favorites through DLCs.
 
some cool mods out that reverts K-, Ash and Shermie back to their original looks (holding out hope for an AOF 3 Robert) I wonder if it's possible to mod in costume slots like Terry and Leona have for their DLC. Switch them in game instead of cutting and pasting files. Itll probably fuck up the file structure though if SNK bring their own DLC costumes out.

Edit: it says for ash mod it only goes over his alt 8 ... interesting, and its ported out allstars so hopefully a shit-ton of outfits get released eventually

while there are some cool mods showing up like Classic Iori and K9999 on Krohnen, SNK reveals Omega Rugal before Orochi CYS and he's free DLC.

he also comes up with a new gamemode. it's about beating cheap ass SNK boss syndrome Rugal with his KOF2002 jacket on.

lolololololololol
compared to other kof games this game is waaay too beginner friendly so no wonder why people's just yawning at boss rugal.
idk where did this shit even come from. it sounds like heavily ripped off from kof allstar's boss syndrome characters. "fight our very strong impossible god boss in this gamemode!" sure, trying to make it as a new gamemode is fine but they could just implement him as a secret boss like in 02UM. story fucking sucks anyway so might aswell grind harder for rugal boss.
goddamn her resets are fire tho

That's always been a thing. Certain bosses can be cheesed by doing certain things. I remember playing KOF 2003 and the boss just wouldn't block Iori's rekka's. In X-Men VS Street Fighter, the final boss Magneto can beaten just by doing Cyclops' shoryuken repeatedly.

I play 2003 a lot and mid boss is really fucking dumb. he just spams dp against anything and you kill him with a super

mukai (the green guy that turns you into a stone) is also very jank when it comes to certain moves. he has weird i-frames on specials that looks like you're going through him and feels like you have the i-frame. lmao
 
How bad was the writing in the stories in 2001, XIV and XV?
2001 was very shit. entire hype from 99 and 00 ended with Igniz's retarded suicide. it's the only canon story with K49 in it (till they reworked him). the game is pretty unpolished overall.

XIV story was kinda OK because it promised to bring dead characters back. the existence of Verse is very vague other than "ash deleted himself and his lineage from existence so Verse happened".
it also makes no sense for Ash to be resurrected because he wasn't killed, he just stopped existing altogether and was removed from everyone's memory. XIV says "well duh Elisabeth remembers him because she cared".

XV story is outright fucking garbage. I'm not kidding. if there are forgettable KOF bosses, this not-so-orochi version of Isla (new girl with shitty design like shun'ei) and Otama Raga take the cake. you just beat Otama and it vanishes without any setup for next KOF game. there's no point of making a new saga if there's nothing new to bring other than use KOF to not bankrupt for 9000th time.

One more thing to point out: you don't need to canonically bring your characters back if they're DLC. they don't get canon stories.
 
Seen theres nude mods popping up already for this game, never underestimate the coomers work rate.

Where's the Clark mod with his dick out and swinging about

Theres a mod that reverts Robert Garcia to his original look. Probably my favourite so far. The art of fighting series doesnt get enough love, they based Ryo Sakazaki off Patrick Swayze and he rides a bike and smashes french pussy, what's not to love? Much better than capcoms incel loner Ryu. Dan Hibiki can go suck a dick.
