Is that you, Duke?

...

That over the back grab looked dumb.

He big.
The hit box on those kicks.

demo when? today?

Should be tomorrow.

yeah, should've watched story trailer first before asking.
US PSN only or on EU too?

>KoD in the Demo
Fuck yes

It should be world wide.

...

Producer's favorite character being in the demo was a easy bet to make.

Nice, thanks user.

>I AM THE KING OF FIGHTERS

Antonov is so fucking awesome

He's the perfect fighting game boss - a big strong guy who beats the shit out of you

Too bad he's just a subboss and we get that throwaway villain thing that probably has SNK boss qualities.

Antonov looks like Space Cobra

His theme kind of reminds me of an 80s hair metal song. I like it. It kind of sounded like Motley Crue there for a second.

Wasn't aware of that. Good to know

Is it Thursday yet?

*Tuesday
demo soon brah

It sounds more Ikari-ish than the actual Ikari stage theme.

>get leona sketch at evo
>bust not included
I would have told the artist to finish it.

I kinda hope that you're wrong and he sticks around to organize future KOFs. Would be a damn shame if he's just gonna be just like that.

Man, Ogura should have went further.

Yeah. It kinda made me think of Smell of Gunpowder in some parts.

Is that so? I hope you meet that artist at a function later and try to get an artwork for him and act like an ungrateful shit, and I hope I'm there when it happens.

Nelson in the demo.

KOD too

The demo. With 7 characters is it gonna be 3 on 3 battle or 1 on 1?

You can probably choose between both. Although it's weird that they showed mostly 1 on 1 on the tail-end of that Story trailer/Demo Announcement.

Oda did promise that Antonov would be a rather "lovable" character.

What they showed didn't seem to correlate with what they were talking about, it was just 1v1 vs, while text talked about tutorial and training mode.

I wonder how the tutorial is going to be.
Better than XIII is the bottom line and it would be hard to be worse than that.
But SNK has shown that they have been paying attention to what other games are doing, so maybe they have made actually good in depth tutorial this time.

>I kinda hope that you're wrong and he sticks around to organize future KOFs.
What? I wasn't saying anything about throwing away Antonov. Antonov is a subboss, that is all I brought up about him. The actual FINAL boss is someone different, let's make that clear. The FINAL boss looks to be another one of those dudes who are just throwaway villains that'll last for just this KOF.

All that's known about the final boss is that he's some sort of alien with time and space powers (hence why the Another World Team exists) and has some sort of connection to Shun'ei, which basically confirms that the China Team is this year's Hero Team.

Well fuck me for taking it out of context and lacking sleep.

I should take cues from Meitenkun.

Webm unrelated

He sure seems very lovable thus far.

>which basically confirms that the China Team is this year's Hero Team.
It's also been directly said that Shun'ei is the main character of this saga.

Well to me his like a fighting Santa Claus.

He's the first main character who isn't Kyo or doesn't have some connection to Kyo.

...

We can't be sure if he does or doesn't.
Ash didn't have any connection to Kyo ether, at least until he tried to get Kyo's flames.

That was more like
>wake up Meitenkun.webm

do you have a youtube link to these videos? I wasn't aware that there was an event featuring Meitenkun (I've seen a webm showing gameplay of Alice elsewhere too)

I think that works way better.

>I wasn't aware that there was an event featuring Meitenkun
You mean the 48 character build for EVO that they had previously announced and we kept posting about?

I've been out of KOF threads lately, after the Team South America trailer went up they all turned into circlejerking about butthurt Argentinians or whatever so I lost interest in the threads for a while

Man, you missed out on the Evo demonstration/side tourney the next day.

That being said, I'm still looking for footage of Reynald allegedly beasting with Gang-Il.

Evo had all but boss characters playable.

I hope Antonov and true boss become playable. Just because I want round number 50 as roster.

>Game ends
>The stadium is in ruins
>Duke lights a cigar muttering about how he lost everything
>turns around to see the official invite team there trying to support him
>Laughs it up and gives them all a giant bear hug and starts planning next years tournament

First match, around 3 minutes in.

When he loses he can have a motivation of getting his belt and championship back next year.

>kukri not stabbing his back
Cute regardless.

...

...

Is this on ps3 or is it ps4 onry

youtube.com/watch?v=1WGcUGd4ohE
Best theme.

20 years and still nether of them can aim.

Last game's hero was a French chick. No Kyo connection.

This looks way better than SFV and I'm kinda sad I don't have a ps4 to play it.

Excuse me sir, you seem to have linked the wrong video.

It's on Windows and the boxart says "Sony Console Exclusive". KoF sold extremely well on PC so I wouldn't be surprised if they released it by the end of the year.

What is Kyo playing?

Alpha 3 MAX

King of Fighters Orochi Saga collection.

My first and only on disk PSP game and my first KoF. Played about 15 minutes until the worst ever loading times and horrible PSP d-pad forced me to quit.

Guy his size might have some clipping issue with some moves.
Ramon 's gonna have to jump real high for the face buster.

Wow Kensou's voice is annoying in this game

A slightly different trailer with a tease of Antonov's Climax at the end

youtu.be/gQfyAvckbX0

metal slug XX

Neo Turf Masters via Emulation.

Damn!

I know Oda said he was lovable, but goddamn I instantly became a fan of the guy as soon as I saw his trailer.
>that goofy laugh
>that pose
He seems like a genuinely awesome guy.
>he will never tackle you into the air while striking a pose

So is the entire Official Invitation Team evil ala New Face Team?

They will be. See those two big slots in the character select screen between the Random Select boxes? That's for them.

They'll likely need to be unlocked first though.

I just preordered the premium edition KOFXIV and I don't even have a PS4.

Hopefully they'll continue from the XIII trend and have their playable versions actually balanced. I'm still waiting for the game that has a balanced Krizalid/Igniz/C./Zero.

Why is Gado in Kof now?

That's 6 pm pacific.

>Nelson on the demo

Fucking yes
Love boxers

Can it be possible to be this wrong?
youtube.com/watch?v=Ck0X4QQElNc

What is he saying?

I hope that flaming figure floating in the sky isn't Antonov being possessed or some shit.

>Humanity should be destroyed.
I think.

I hope it's Bao, being possessed.

Could be an editing trick for the trailer and the figure is Shun'ei fully possessed like Chris was when turning into Orochi.

>Final Boss fucks up the Timestream some more before he dies
>'94 era Rugal appears and mauls Antonov with a single Genocide Cutter, taking his belt
>Rugal holds next KOF and Antonov pulls a Chizuru and becomes a normal character to reclaim the belt

Nice this is an even better trailer. One of his kicks looks like a leg tomahawk. He looks about as big as Krauser too. Such power in his blows too.
>you will never be Shuun'ei in this trailer

I didn't knew triple h is their guest character

Only on second watching I realized that Antonov drops his cigar at the start of his Climax.

This game looks So simple, shit graphics and those moves..

It's a pity that he's only mid boss. This pretty much ensures final boss will be status quo in the cheapness complete with a 'hit everywhere' super.

I want Antonov to come back every couple of years as TO after planning more and more extravagant events.

Clark 's piledriver looks pretty nasty with the extra limb breaking.

Did you see that ball of souls and energy and bullshit on the story trailer.
Final boss harvests that power. I can already see the screen filling bullshit attacks.

Damn. That's super early for here.
I can wake up and watch the latest station tomorrow.
Or I can stay up late again and watch it when it's fresh. Or do both.

YER MINE

I hope not. I want Antonov to stay and get so angry at another evil force fucking with the tournament *again* that he'll try to fight it himself by setting up new tournaments.

I mean they're "broadcast" as youtube videos. It's how the last one was IIRC.

I'm super disappointed that the Story mode seems to be more like Mortal Kombat than Maximum Impact, now the lack of an arcade mode stings even more.

At least there is Time Attack and you can actually fight the CPU at will

I do know. But I still want to watch it as soon as possible, because of hype.
I wasn't implying that I would stay up all night just to catch that, but I might stay up late just because my sleep rhythm is generally fucked.

> Antonov is working with the final boss and is actually evil

OR

> Antonov is innocent and Kukri is backstabbing him

PLACE BETS NOW

Man, chances are that each team gets their own story. With the protagonist team being the main story or having a special team be the true story like in '97. You'll still most likely get your pick a team fight 8-10 fights, a cutscene or two and get their ending, just like the the arcade games. It'll likely be the same as arcade mode except be called story mode.

It'll be the second one. Oda said he would be lovable and based on the trailer he seems like a lovable oaf who punches hard and wants a good tournament. I sense no hint of evil in him whatsoever, but that's just me. Also in the story trailer Kukri looks shady as fuck and chances of him backstabbing Antonov look high.
