A Mexican guy traveled to Japan and he interviewed KOF XIV devs, so these are the highlights

>They released 50 characters because they don't wanted to follow the mistakes from other companies

>They want the E-sport audience

>It was a real challenge to create KOF XIV

>They are planning more KOF games

>No DLC plans yet

>They really want a Capcom VS SNK 3

>Oda wants to visit Mexico

I wonder what's going to change

And how does Xiaohai know people in SNK?

bump

Nakoruru will get nerfed

Found these Preorder figures. They're back from August 13 though. KoF was at 46,294 preorders that week. in the US only.
vgchartz.com/preorders/42596/USA/

The 20k reported from Japan earlier were for the first week and physical only and in Korea it was #2 with no numbers given. I wonder what actual sales figures are world wide today including physical and digital.

>Snk's slow burn approach becomes long term successful.
>King of Fighters literally becomes the king of fighters.

The numbers are up to that week total, not that week alone. The little bit of info we have on sales numbers makes me wonder about the budget of the game. Oda already said that it was small and the year that development started they made a profit of about $2.5 million. The year before they lost almost twice as much. I wonder if that's any indication of the budget. What does a game like XIV cost to make?

I feel terrible at this game. Is it because I'm using a fightpad and not a stick? I can do the motions but I constantly feel like I'll never be fast enough to pull off those crazy cancels.

I'm also having problems with the characters. I like playing as Kim and Clark so far, but landing throws as Clark seems impossible

Fightpad vs stick doesn't matter much, go with whatever you're comfortable with. If you do switch it'll be like learning to play from scratch all over. I'm going through that. Inputs can be buffered, but you still need to be quick when canceling. As for Clark, I don't usually play with him, but are you trying to do command throws in raw?

I've been trying to do them after a strike or a roll. He'll go through the motion but will just get countered

Seems like kof threads aren't getting many posters now.

I think you can confirm command throws after light strikes. So, given that you're close enough you can try his argntine back breaker after a light kick or something like that. Sorry, I don't know much about grapplers, maybe someone else can give you better advice.

>landing throws as Clark seems impossible.
Clarks Super argentine back breaker is typically like giefs throws except with the bonus of being able to pull off with a combo. The best way to be a Clark and be able to do some damage is to pull off your mix up game as ambiguous as possible. Most opponents fighting Clark will not only have to think of your high and low attacks but also about your command grab, well specially your command grab since most players think that facing Clark means that the Clark player will usually go after a command grab. Use this very thinking against them by playing Clark as a rush then pulling off a command throw when they least expect it. A raw roll into command throw is not 'a least expected; scenario since that is a very obvious way for a Clark to get into command throw range. Going into the offense, hitting light punches then waiting for a split second before doing a raw argentine is one way to mix things up.
ie: in short, Clark is a throw character as well as a mix up character. Clark has very good normals. Use those normals and overhead stomp to your advantage and combine that with the treat of your command grabs to keep your enemies guessing and open them up for mistakes.

True. I wonder why

Thanks for the info. I'll work on getting good with his strikes

Thanks, whoever showed me this last thread. Really helped me understand this game better.

I feel your pain bro, I spent hours playing online today and I was literally massacred. It's like suddenly I forget everything I learned and the guys playing against me are too strong.

I'm still having fun tho

I really really want XIV to be successful but

>vgchartz

>They really want a Capcom VS SNK 3
Especially now, I bet.

>Go into ranked for the first time
>Only matches with ranks 10 or higher

O...k..

I know, but it was something that Kuroki tweeted and as stated, the ranking is from August 13.

real dinosaurs don't care about rankings

wow

Is kind of funny how much time people has invested on finding ways to beat Nak

Party mode up now, room name is KOF.

Better than those people claiming that she's killing the game.

This. Reminds me of people whining about R. Mika for the first few months of SFV.

she kind of is, though. i know a couple people who are actually waiting until she's nerfed before they'll pick the game up.

r.mika and nakoruru are worlds apart. mika just forces people to guess, other than that she plays like any other character. nak has access to things that not a single other character in the cast does and said things are very easy for her to abuse.

>Oda wants to visit Mexico

Ono will never visit Africa.

...

>making Nakoruru cry

God i hate Athena so much

youtube.com/watch?v=KSpdWgRrWB0

God I love Athena so much

>>They released 50 characters because they don't wanted to follow the mistakes from other companies
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

the thread is as alive as this game.

There is nothing to discuss, I don't know what shitposters want.

We'd have a lot of discuss if it was like SF5 with release of new characters and basic functions but this game is already complete, people prefer playing it than talking.

Tried watching the interview but the player wouldn't show up. Thought it was because of adblock, so I disabled it and nothing. Maybe it's because I'm not in Mexico.

>minimum one netplay freeze per night
SNK please

Is this the end of the comfy KOF threads?

I'm not good at playing and posting at the same.

Just happened to me too.

Actually Ono visited Mexico last year

More random tier lists

>Top Tier: K', Athena, Geese, Mature, Ryo, Nakoruru, Chin, Yuri, Terry, Love Heart, Angel

>Upper Mid: Benimaru, Mai, Robert, Andy, Luong, Kim, Meitenkun, Leona, Kyo, Maxima, Goro, Mian, Shun'ei, Billy, Muimui, Ramon

>Mid: Iori, Kula, Kukri, King, Bandeiras, King of Dinosaurs, Zarina, Nelson, Ralf, Antonov, Xanadu, Verse, Joe, Vice, Hein, Tung, Kensou

>Lower Mid: Chang, Choi, Clark, Gang-Il

>Low Tier: Alice, Sylvie

I don't understand how the fuck Choi, Chang and Xanadu aren't at the bottom

I'm honest surprised they never tried to actively promote the game in Mexico considering the country's history with KOF

IT'S LIKE THERE'S AN AIRSHOW IN MY MOUTH AND EVERYONE'S EXPLODING

I hate this.

Villains confirmed for worst overall team?

Did the patch fix online or is it still laggy as fuck haven't touched it since.

>alice at very bottom
who the fuck made this

it's much better now. looks like some people in this thread are getting freezes but i have yet to run into that.

Online is fixed now. Any laggy matches now are due shitty connections. not the netcode

It just handles connection drops terribly

I WANT TO MARRY ANGEL

>try to run up throw
>instead do st.D and get counter supered
EVERYTHING WAS NOT PERFECT

It's better now.

I've had one freeze in party and one in online training so far. All I had to do was restart in the latter to fix it though.

DYNAMITE

Anyone messed with King?
I want to know if this combo is her optimal corner damage for 1 bar, or there are routes with higher damage.

We would have more people if the game wasn't only on Playstation.

I like KoF but I don't want to buy a PS4 and pay double of what I pay for my own internet in order to play a fighting game

@jurio73

Is someone going to make a lobby?

I can. Team vs or party? US East

Depends on the amount of people we can get.

Guess it's just gonna be teams since KoF Sup Forums isn't responding.

I'll go team. Name is BURNING

Can't seem to find it.

>first match is a guy on dial-up
fuck

Does negative edge not work?

Im not seeing it

>tfw you love big pure grapplers
>Can't play Clark
I can sort of play Daimon but grapplers in KOF really escape me, I can't even properly use Benimaru's grab.

Heads up everyone I'm going to remake into a party room. Same name

Maybe I'm slow with inputs, but didn't work for me.

Can't you catch with 623 kick?
I know you definitely can with EX 623

Party room is up. Sorry if any fights were interrupted

negative edge doesn't exist in KOF games.

DIE FOREVER

>They really want a Capcom VS SNK 3
Capcom should just cooperate with SNK employees instead of hire Dimps for this. I like to think Dimps former Cap/SNK employees were the B-team employees for each company, because I can't fathom how they could screw up some easy formulas.

Hope not. I don't even have a PS4 and the game yet.

I can juggle from fireball with 623+K when doing this combo from wiki
>forward hop j.CD (counter), qcf+B, dp+B/D
But for some reason can't hit it in this combo, maybe it's impossible.
Would appreciate if someone with better execution could try it.

>I know you definitely can with EX 623
Unfortunately not enough EX meter even with "1500 max" setting when doing this route. Easy and cool in other routes though.

...

I kinda meant catching with EX early in lieu of that last venom shot, not sure what would be more damaging though.

Raiden's dropkicks sorta count though, right?

These teams are lopsided as fuck

>Live in U.S.
>Still can't connect to BURNING party room

What sort of host connection is this running on? Can't seem to connect no matter what I do.

KoFXIV's director was at Dimps from SNK's original bankruptcy until they started making this game two and a half years ago and worked heavily on all the SFIV related games except Ultra. I have a hell of a time reconciling that myself honestly.

Dat scrolling :^)

Less damage I think. Not sure.
Will try again when I get back home from work.

May also share my Hein combo transcripts later if someone is interested, with damage and stun values.

true, i forgot about that. but of course as a universal mechanic it doesn't exist.

does hein have any strong combos outside of pit starter? he struck me as having low damage output but i never labbed with him.

post 'em

>No DLC plans yet
Looks like I still have no plans to buy their game.

I don't know man, who is going to pay Yamazaki to participate this time?

look, i'm a big yama fan but don't be that guy. they busted their asses getting FIFTY characters into the game. it's impossible to please everyone but they did what they could.

>Kyo's redesign is because they felt that he'd become increasingly macho in recent games instead of his original appeal
I guess that makes sense.

>Shit roster with no fan favorites
>Horrible balance
>PS2 graphics
>"Pro" players already calling it kusoge
>Even less content than Shit Fighter V
>OST is ass
>Worst story in the whole series

It's shit.

>no fan favourites
>Geese
>Angel
>Nako fucking ruru
Weak bait

>they busted their asses getting FIFTY characters into the game
Yeah, but I don't like most of the cast, personally. The newcomers are shitty.
Nelson and Luong are pretty cool, though.

I'm not interested in playing 99% of the cast, so I have no interest in the game.

>I wonder who could be behind this post.jpg

Did you play newcomer-only teams in past games? How can you not like "most of the cast" when most of them are veterans like Terry, Ryo, etc?

>No Mary
>No Whip
>No Vanessa
>No Rock
>No Yamazaki
>No Freeman
>No Shermie
>No American Sports Team
>No Rugal
>Using fucking Nakoliterallywhoru as an example

Kill yourself

Also
>They want the E-sport audience

Wow they straight up ADMITTED they want to sell out to faggot Capcom players. And the KOF "pros" are still shitting on the game. What a mess.
