And just like that, thousands of people who never gave two shits about KOF all of sudden think it's godlike. It's going to be Guilty Gear Strive all over again.
Seeing Masami Obari's character designs return from the mid-90s feels like a special treat for everyone who has seen the OVAs and feels like redemption for someone who went through a lull in the 2000s.
Really that's it? That's all it took? Your expectations are so low since most newer fighters will be adding rollback when they release into the future I'm sure. Plus did your expectations get shattered by the DLC they announced 6 months before the game even comes out you gotta pay for?
@@Fate862 yeah Japanese made fighting games were the last to do Rollback netcode. I get other games have had better netcode. Its just nice to have a fun game that doesnt have shit netcode anymore.
I love it how SNK actually gives a shit about what their fans want, which is something most other game companies don't do. Their work deserves more attention! They are so underrated, at least here in the US they are!
You're absolutely right literally my favorite fighting series they care always give you a ton of characters to start with they ddont make you buy main stay characters like other games

@SNES Nes Complex doesn't mean deep. You can have simple input with astounding combo potential like the pony game, or tacked-on systems nobody uses because they're just repeating the same three moves over and over like Strive. KoF XIII made things easier with bigger buffer times for moves and what happened? We bust it open and found crazy unintended stuff that ended up becoming optimal play. This looks to go in the same direction.
I dunno man, 02 had some weird control quirks that made it a little akward to get into high level for me, and the way meter works always seemed a little too complex, like complex enough for me to often forget how much meter I need to do what I want at the spur of the moment
@Niganttana It'll be a lot like Mortal Kombat 11, where: (Spoilers!) the past versions of the (mostly deceased) fighters are brought into present, only for all of them to die (except Liu Kang and Raiden) in a temporal Armageddon by the end of the story.

It's been a long time since I have seen such a great and hyped trailer. Congratulations SNK! You've made a long time fan smile and want to return to this beloved franchise!
Kinda had a feeling they would have Garou Terry and classic Leona as alts. Hopefully this game gets ported to switch eventually, considering SamSho is on it.
I started playing KOF since 1995, even though I don't like the current ones as much as the ones before 15, it's nice to see that the franchise is still alive.
Here's my backstory as a professional fighter: I've started playing fighting games in 1994, but back then I was merely brainlessly mashing and spamming "just for fun" when I was hanging around with my friends/classmates after the school and during the summer/winter vacation days. Everything completely changed for me in the year 1996, when I've found a KoF '96 arcade cabinet being put in the lobby of one of the cinema theaters in my city's locale. That's right. The King of Fighters '96, the arcade Neo-Geo MVS release of it, is what made me completely rethink and revamp my approach and treatment of fighting games ever since, made me start to take them way more seriously, stopped me from treating them like everything else that I was playing at the time. And, thanks to that very experience, I've decided to participate in my very first ever actual tourney which was a Killer Instinct (SNES) championship that was hosted sometime in the 1998 (I got to 1/16 of what was a bracket of roughly 400-some participants that gathered from all around the country and even neighboring lands/states. I was maining Spinal, Combo, and Riptor). Ever since then, I was officially born as a tourney player and have gone actual pro shortly after that (sometime in the late 1999~early 2000). I will eternally be thankful to SNK and to the KoF '96, as they made me the kind of the greatly experienced, very knowledgeable, and highly sophisticated professional fighting game player that I am today. I won my last KoF tourney in 2017, which was a XIV-based event hosted by the Hype Event organization at a GBXP 2017 festival. At the time I was maining only Goose, Mui Mui and Kula. Nowadays I main Goose, Mui Mui, Luong, Kula, Robert, Blue Mary, Terry, King, and either Nelson or Yuri (I can't decide and usually alternate between them back and forth), in KoF XIV. I cannot friggin' wait to IMMEDIATELY jump into XV when it releases, now. I'm highly likely going to buy any and all "collector's" and "limited" physical editions as well. In my eyes, XV *already* looks like it's right there on par with the greatest - '96, '98, 2000, and XI. It's so good to see SNK finally getting back to being at it's usual pace and level of quality. A definite phoenix that have finally arose from the ashes. *THE FUTURE IS NOW. BRING BACK ESAKA, 森気楼 (pretty please?), AND 新世界楽曲雑技団 (if still possible).*
From what you've posted here I can tell you're a true long-term fan of the series steeped in its history. I feel we're on the same level when it comes to KOF XV in that it brings together characters from throughout the title's history right up to the newest additions to the series. It'll be nearly 28 years since the first KOF released when KOF XV comes out. Here's hoping the series continues to live in for many years more.
Funniest fact being they (admittedly) ripped part of the code of GGPO, a platform/program playmore tried to legally nuke a couple times... AND FAILED x)
Have only been playing fighting games for like 2 years and seeing that this seems to be a full game has sold me. Proper training mode with frame data, combo trials AND a story mode. Almost like a real video game!
So we have 27 character trailers and with Ash, K', Heidern, and those 2 newcomers we have 32 of the 39 characters plus the 6 extra DLC characters. Making a total of 45 characters and 13 left to reveal. I think Elizabeth, Kula, and Whip for safe bets.
As a life long KoF fan since the 90s, I'm sooo glad I never got into Street Fighter series. The Orochi saga games were the defining point for me... added to my favorite KoF 98 (Dream Match) I had on my Dreamcast.
Same, but replace dreamcast with plsystation :p The style, charecters and story are what made me a fan, everything capcom fighters lack and yes I'm one of those weirdos who likes fighting games for everything but the fighting :p
Despite the "leak" my expectations have been shattered like rollback netcode. New offensive options and deeper combat system. A short anime by obari yes he's alot of money lol. And ost from various KOF entries that you can unlock If arranged tracks are in it or crossplay of different consoles expect my expectations to be shattered into pieces.
@@CrimsonSanX If that's what it takes to support (good) rollback, then so be it. Remember, Strive's sales weren't just a message to ArcSys about rollback, but to the entire Japanese fighting game industry.
That was one of the best presentation I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to the single vs mode. I am shock About what I just seen in this video. Graphics design is on point. So many things are on point. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
EXPECTATIONS *SHATTERED* Seeing ash back puts a smile on my face because while the nest saga is my favorite I'm hoping that we will see some tales of ash characters too.
Rival looks better than Shun'ei Shun'ei's outfit looks really bad in my opinion SNK can remove frickin Tie from Shun'ei outfit if they feel lazy about it
@@themetus2190 Well hindsight is 20/20 that's probably why her design is so much cooler than his. I agree that they should've redesigned Shun'ei though he has way too much going on.
Yoooo KOF XV looks amazinnnnnggggg!!!! I used to play KOF 98 and 99 back in the day and they have done so much to improve the game! God bless SNK, they really put effort into this game
This is the best quality kof ever. Graphics look so smooth. Thanks to the new generation consoles. Just hope some fucking arcade stick releases in India.
This is what bugs me the most, I want Beth + Duo but a lot of people say it could be Kukri or Shen, there are basically 4 possible characters or 5 counting Oswald but I don't think we are going to see him, surely should be between the other 4
I’ve got a feeling that more characters are going to be revealed. I’m excited to see Maximilian Doods reaction to this, his reactions to these trailers are great
The second game is also usually when they refine the first game's systems, too. Though the first saga's an odd case in that it took until '96 to get to where we are now.
Everything about the game looks and feel wow! And seeing old characters back is assuring it's going to be a mad ride playing this game. Everything looks pretty neat and hearing about about rollback sounds even more exciting. I am extremely excited to play this game. Power bars and Max gauges are pretty pleasant to the eyes which is really cool. I think effects and cinematography and overall narrative seems to be taking a very positive direction. Hails SNK!
but considering it will not be an exclusive (as XIV used to be for PS4), I think crossplay, if not featured on the release, much likely to be featured in a future patch.
@@sladejosephwilson2300 forget Sony. Plus it's on other platforms that aren't PlayStation. Even tho, a lot of players will be playing KOF on PlayStation consoles.
Yep. This is the game of our dreams. The game I been waiting for with this franchise I grew up with so many years back. As someone who's seen it reach an unfortunate demise before coming back. And seeing it progress to the point it is at now? It was all worth it. Whatever my expectations? They're shattered now. Thank you SNK. I cannot WAIT to cop this day ONE!
Looks stunning! My only hope is that they don't simplify the battle system since I really enjoyed XIV and XIII's. Can't wait to enjoy the rollback netcode with Vanessa, Leona and (hopefully) Kim. We need to spread the word and get more people into KOF!!!
The new system already looks more complex than XIV. But yeah, SNK is still pretty old school. Most of the commands will still be the same as well as jumps and short hops.
Love, love, love the DJ Station feature!! It warms my heart seeing SNK putting out a such a grand and polished product like this in 2022. I remember when they were pretty much dead...talk about a comeback!
I almost choked on my drink when I saw that sick ass Garou Terry costume! Edit: also on the character select screen there are character portraits on the top row that look different, i assume they’ll be the dlc, which means 4 teams and one solo character.
solo character might be the final boss of the game... which makes me wonder where or whom the subboss will be or if the female Shun'ei character will be the final (sub)boss team one will be fighting against before whomever the Bayonetta-Jivatma female lookalike character tries to be.
It took 8 months since the first trailer for us to actually see HOW it plays. Like, mechanics and everything! And now I need to preorder just for Garou Terry ALONE. Also yeah, I guess Rollback Netcode is kind of important too. Bravo SNK. Bravo indeed. This game is going to ROCK!!!
It also took them almost 8 months to shows off gameplay and contents for XIV, so it's not really surprising that XV took the same amount of time to shows everything as well lol
thats a bit low for when u think about KoF14 already did, esp when the motto of this game in particular is "shatter all expectations", like I can wait for 3 months more when they add like 1 or 2 teams extra, like so far I dont see the "Offical Sponsor Team" returning yet, I also dont see Kim and his crew returning dispite him beign a fanfavorite and also Geese and his partners dont seem like to be in the basegame either, so wtf! SNK rly should push their release date back, I know they did it once already, but.. the way it is currently there are a bit too little characters I rly care about for one team to be wanting to buy this game day 1 :/ And its not like SNK doesnt have any options to make more of what they already did, esp cuz KoF is their mainseries title that got with KoF14 a revival for the company, and we get this? Shatter my expectations more SNK, they are sadly more intact then me or I assume many others want them to be!
agora sim o KOF está voltando as suas origens atendendo os jogadores de fliper do kof 95 de 30 anos atrás até os jogadores mais novos ! esse jogo vai ser sucesso ! parabéns SNK !
So far 32 character had been confirmed in this game. Some make epic return like Heidern(KOF 2001 last appearance); Yashiro team(KOF 1997) and Chizuru(KOF 2003 last appearance)
I do wish Shermie gets her classic outfit again... she right now looks like someone u pay money for sexual activity for D: And I rly dont like the new shirt of Chris here, maybe cuz its "inbalanced" with how its unsymmetric or cuz it looks kinda lazily redesigned in compare to Yashiro or even the from me criticized Shermie. I do am looking forward to play as Shermie, but it will be hard to like her like before to me

This will be my first KoF game and I'm glad it's looking great!
Practice your execution ,because the online will be mad competitive
Welcome to the fam!!!!
@@truindividual I think I'll also get this game for a new PlayStation I'm getting.
I started playing KOF since 1995, even though I don't like the current ones as much as the ones before 15, it's nice to see that the franchise is still alive.
We knew Ash was coming. Good to see that Heidern and K are confirmed, too.
Looks pretty sick.
K been confirmed!
K' has been confirmed since the first trailer lol
K's been around since the first trailer, Heidern is expected to be in the game because of Rugal's revival.
Here's my backstory as a professional fighter:
I've started playing fighting games in 1994, but back then I was merely brainlessly mashing and spamming "just for fun" when I was hanging around with my friends/classmates after the school and during the summer/winter vacation days. Everything completely changed for me in the year 1996, when I've found a KoF '96 arcade cabinet being put in the lobby of one of the cinema theaters in my city's locale. That's right. The King of Fighters '96, the arcade Neo-Geo MVS release of it, is what made me completely rethink and revamp my approach and treatment of fighting games ever since, made me start to take them way more seriously, stopped me from treating them like everything else that I was playing at the time. And, thanks to that very experience, I've decided to participate in my very first ever actual tourney which was a Killer Instinct (SNES) championship that was hosted sometime in the 1998 (I got to 1/16 of what was a bracket of roughly 400-some participants that gathered from all around the country and even neighboring lands/states. I was maining Spinal, Combo, and Riptor). Ever since then, I was officially born as a tourney player and have gone actual pro shortly after that (sometime in the late 1999~early 2000).
I will eternally be thankful to SNK and to the KoF '96, as they made me the kind of the greatly experienced, very knowledgeable, and highly sophisticated professional fighting game player that I am today. I won my last KoF tourney in 2017, which was a XIV-based event hosted by the Hype Event organization at a GBXP 2017 festival. At the time I was maining only Goose, Mui Mui and Kula. Nowadays I main Goose, Mui Mui, Luong, Kula, Robert, Blue Mary, Terry, King, and either Nelson or Yuri (I can't decide and usually alternate between them back and forth), in KoF XIV. I cannot friggin' wait to IMMEDIATELY jump into XV when it releases, now. I'm highly likely going to buy any and all "collector's" and "limited" physical editions as well. In my eyes, XV *already* looks like it's right there on par with the greatest - '96, '98, 2000, and XI. It's so good to see SNK finally getting back to being at it's usual pace and level of quality. A definite phoenix that have finally arose from the ashes. *THE FUTURE IS NOW. BRING BACK ESAKA, 森気楼 (pretty please?), AND 新世界楽曲雑技団 (if still possible).*
From what you've posted here I can tell you're a true long-term fan of the series steeped in its history. I feel we're on the same level when it comes to KOF XV in that it brings together characters from throughout the title's history right up to the newest additions to the series.
It'll be nearly 28 years since the first KOF released when KOF XV comes out. Here's hoping the series continues to live in for many years more.
SNK is playing this off super slick and it's super sick.I'M LOVING IT! This keeps you guessing.This is the ultimate game i'm looking forward to.
KOF15 has joined Guilty Gear Strive and Nickelodeon All Star Brawl in the Rollback Netcode club
Now THERE'S a crazy cross-over fighter. Watch me style on the opponents with my Nigel Thornberry / Kim Khapwan / Ky Kiske "Hello FGC, I'm Dad"- team.
Well if Baiken could get in samurai shodown then KOF x GG is quite possible.
@@jessepeterson6694 Imagine Slayer or Sol in this game!
@@jessepeterson6694 GG has a lot of collab "outside" their own game. also it's the REV2 baiken so she's still in the cursed rollback club lmao
Funniest fact being they (admittedly) ripped part of the code of GGPO, a platform/program playmore tried to legally nuke a couple times... AND FAILED x)
Ash Crimson and K' look kinda sick plus the two new characters look dope and rollback netcode is a dream come true and it's also on Series X
Have only been playing fighting games for like 2 years and seeing that this seems to be a full game has sold me. Proper training mode with frame data, combo trials AND a story mode. Almost like a real video game!
So we have 27 character trailers and with Ash, K', Heidern, and those 2 newcomers we have 32 of the 39 characters plus the 6 extra DLC characters. Making a total of 45 characters and 13 left to reveal.
I think Elizabeth, Kula, and Whip for safe bets.
Probably be some of the old bosses
I hope rugals in this
27 characters trailer + ash and team members + k' with Maxima and Kula + heidern and team members + the 2 new girls in the same team with another = 39
I hope Kim's pants have their own character slot, that's what we deserve after kof XIV
I hope Rugal comes back as a playable character with Mature and Vice.
Obari working on the animation is what fucking shattered my expectations. Holy shit, I recognized that artstyle right away
Same it's be a long while of him making a snk anime
Who?
@@luismachado1934 He did the three old Fatal Fury anime OVAs/movie back in the day.
@@IronsaintEntertainment oh him. This looks different from the fatal fury movies.
I know, right? THAT was an expectation truly shattered, never thought I'd hear his name again.
As a life long KoF fan since the 90s, I'm sooo glad I never got into Street Fighter series. The Orochi saga games were the defining point for me... added to my favorite KoF 98 (Dream Match) I had on my Dreamcast.
Same, but replace dreamcast with plsystation :p
The style, charecters and story are what made me a fan, everything capcom fighters lack and yes I'm one of those weirdos who likes fighting games for everything but the fighting :p
@@ColeVecsion Dang, that's understandable though.
@@ColeVecsion You ain't a weirdo believe me
@@ColeVecsion also the fighting is amazing in KOF, so, yes, you no weirdo..
*sees garou terry*
Me: “it’s time”
*looks at garou 2*
2022 edit: as I predicted
We need B.Jenet to come back!
*Pacing patiently for that Classic Tizoc costume announcment*
Despite the "leak" my expectations have been shattered like rollback netcode. New offensive options and deeper combat system. A short anime by obari yes he's alot of money lol. And ost from various KOF entries that you can unlock If arranged tracks are in it or crossplay of different consoles expect my expectations to be shattered into pieces.
I don't actually see any new systems other than Shatter Strike though.
Crossplay between PS4 and PS5 is confirmed. The rest, let's hope they do add it
We have male and female and then we have a lot of money
I’ll watch this trailer whenever I need a breath of fresh air.
"Ash, ¡no puedo creer que sigas con vida! ¡Sufrí por ti, lloré por ti!"....
Revivió al destruir a verse,jefe de la.kof 14.
If this game is $60, then it's completely worth it.
Rollback Netcode has been confirmed that worth anything
Eh I rather have it as 30, maybe 40 euros at most but hey gotta support the rollback movement.
The game is already in worth it
The word is its $70 on launch.
@@CrimsonSanX If that's what it takes to support (good) rollback, then so be it. Remember, Strive's sales weren't just a message to ArcSys about rollback, but to the entire Japanese fighting game industry.
That was one of the best presentation I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to the single vs mode. I am shock About what I just seen in this video.
Graphics design is on point. So many things are on point. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Are they going to include a single vs mode? didn't saw it.
EXPECTATIONS
*SHATTERED*
Seeing ash back puts a smile on my face because while the nest saga is my favorite I'm hoping that we will see some tales of ash characters too.
Same
I would love to see Shen return that guy was hype af
At least two more will return with him, take a look at the select screen.
@@ronaldom566 assuming it's Elizabeth and kukri seeing as they found him at the end of xiv
Garou Terry!!! Love to see it. The new characters also have really cool designs, glad to see Shun'ei finally has a rival.
Terry without that bomber jacket is Are you Okay without Bustah Wuruv.
Rival looks better than Shun'ei Shun'ei's outfit looks really bad in my opinion SNK can remove frickin Tie from Shun'ei outfit if they feel lazy about it
@@themetus2190 Well hindsight is 20/20 that's probably why her design is so much cooler than his. I agree that they should've redesigned Shun'ei though he has way too much going on.
@Noel T. Lat some people have said that Kukri might be the third member of her team thanks to their resemblance between the three.
Yoooo KOF XV looks amazinnnnnggggg!!!! I used to play KOF 98 and 99 back in the day and they have done so much to improve the game! God bless SNK, they really put effort into this game
SNK looking to make all the money! Congrats, this is a day one purchase
I NEVER preorder.... This is an instant special ed pre order

Give us the trailers for the new girls already! Can't wait!
Ms. Glasses: is your Telegram curated?
New Gurl: INSTAgram! And I’m not a cam-bimbo, dumbass!
HEY! C'MON, C'MON!
They may as well add Nagase from the Maximum Impact series, since she's the only other glasses girl with multicolored hair...just my opinion.
This is the best quality kof ever. Graphics look so smooth. Thanks to the new generation consoles. Just hope some fucking arcade stick releases in India.
Not happening
I wonder who's gonna be in Team Ash, I hope Shen-Woo is one of them.
Elizabeth and kukri probably
This is what bugs me the most, I want Beth + Duo but a lot of people say it could be Kukri or Shen, there are basically 4 possible characters or 5 counting Oswald but I don't think we are going to see him, surely should be between the other 4
Oswald would be DLC again given that he is popular but not connected to KOF main story.
Probably Elizabeth and Oswald
Shuffling for Oswald
XD
I’ve got a feeling that more characters are going to be revealed. I’m excited to see Maximilian Doods reaction to this, his reactions to these trailers are great
he's gonna lose his shit when he hears Rollback Netcode.
@@Soulmaestro2088 and the DLC of Terry's Garou MotW costume
Exactly!
But still no rock tráiler:(
Waiting for rooflemonger video. He always gives good analysis
I forgot how much I used to crush on Blue Mary. Unreal Engine 4 is still looking fantastic
Rivals ALWAYS seem to be introduced in the second game of a KoF arc, huh
Iori in '95, Kula in 2000, Elisabeth in XI, & now this hat lady here in XV
The second game is also usually when they refine the first game's systems, too. Though the first saga's an odd case in that it took until '96 to get to where we are now.
Don't forget CPU VS CPU in vs mode (Sometimes I don't want to play, but I want to watch.)
Kinky
Everything about the game looks and feel wow! And seeing old characters back is assuring it's going to be a mad ride playing this game.
Everything looks pretty neat and hearing about about rollback sounds even more exciting.
I am extremely excited to play this game.
Power bars and Max gauges are pretty pleasant to the eyes which is really cool. I think effects and cinematography and overall narrative seems to be taking a very positive direction. Hails SNK!
Hope the game has cross play. And excluding returning characters, that's the missing link to really make this game 100% bang imo.
Sony doesn't like cross play.
Hope this game comes to the Switch.
@@josh6453 Man, me too
but considering it will not be an exclusive (as XIV used to be for PS4), I think crossplay, if not featured on the release, much likely to be featured in a future patch.
@@sladejosephwilson2300 forget Sony. Plus it's on other platforms that aren't PlayStation. Even tho, a lot of players will be playing KOF on PlayStation consoles.
This game looks fantastic as a new fan and this being my first KOF game I can’t wait.
Kyo to Benimaru:"So you'll be changing the diapers 'round here. Good luck with that!" speaking about Shun'ei and Meitenkun 😂😂😂
“Headphoned poser.” I’m liking the new girl already.
She took the words right outta my mouth
She looks like a jetset radio character
I know right
Can't wait for her name to be reveal ?
Right? That's all she had to say and I like her already.
Thanks for listening SNK, Rollback modern KOF sounds awesome and I'm completely sold
This video screams "Hey Street Fighter! Learn how to launch a game!!!"
To make it even funnier SNK had i think a lower budget then Capcom yet they do some things better now to wait and see if the story is better then sfv
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
@@starbreaker6441 yeah your right i like all of them and i can't rank them in order that is how good they are
I still have hope for Rock being in the game
Can't have garou terry without rock
Garou Terry gives me more hope
Rock howard waiting room 😔
Team garou in the works
It’s pretty much confirmed rocks in the game. What I’m worried about is him being dlc again
They gave ash Jojo lips and I honestly cannot complain
Not a fan of the lips.
Ikr
@@joshuataylor7443 same not a fan.
It works.
@@BigEOT3 Can you explain?
I'm at the point where seeing an actual main menu in a fighting game is exciting.
Yep. This is the game of our dreams. The game I been waiting for with this franchise I grew up with so many years back. As someone who's seen it reach an unfortunate demise before coming back. And seeing it progress to the point it is at now? It was all worth it. Whatever my expectations? They're shattered now. Thank you SNK. I cannot WAIT to cop this day ONE!
They delivered. And they are getting the interest of both old fans and new fans.
Looks stunning! My only hope is that they don't simplify the battle system since I really enjoyed XIV and XIII's. Can't wait to enjoy the rollback netcode with Vanessa, Leona and (hopefully) Kim. We need to spread the word and get more people into KOF!!!
I'm sure they'll still have a lot of Manual trick combos but probably simple auto ex combos for new players.
Kim will return as always, just wait
For a change I wanna see Jhun as Kim's teammate I liked him at kof 2000-2003
@@axzaos really hope so, cause he was in every game
The new system already looks more complex than XIV. But yeah, SNK is still pretty old school. Most of the commands will still be the same as well as jumps and short hops.
I want a full version of the song already
Love, love, love the DJ Station feature!! It warms my heart seeing SNK putting out a such a grand and polished product like this in 2022. I remember when they were pretty much dead...talk about a comeback!
I almost choked on my drink when I saw that sick ass Garou Terry costume!
Edit: also on the character select screen there are character portraits on the top row that look different, i assume they’ll be the dlc, which means 4 teams and one solo character.
I choked on air lmfao it's so awesome!!!
solo character might be the final boss of the game... which makes me wonder where or whom the subboss will be or if the female Shun'ei character will be the final (sub)boss team one will be fighting against before whomever the Bayonetta-Jivatma female lookalike character tries to be.
I haven’t bought a fighting game since SamSho. Will definitely be picking this up on release. Looks like SNK are the actual King of fighters.
This made my day. All questions answered plus more
Expectations are Shattered! Thank you SNK 💖
Those 300 songs made this a pre-order for me!! Arashi no saxaphone for life baby!!!
THERE IS NO ROCK
- Maximilian dood
ROCK?!
That's weird we got the a character of the king of fighter 14 DLC pack
Guaranteed dlc money right there
Maximilian is a clown
@@ChrisDeebo that is so weird we got some of the characters already in the why don't-rock
it is so 90´s...
can´t wait for that.
3:45 i love this song already. :D
Just watching this trailer making me smile because of the orochi team comeback really happy for it.
Never been a KOF fan but everything about this latest installment is definitely speaking my language. Will for sure be picking this one up
You're in for a treat!
Wild seeing Oda-san/other ex SF4 devs at SNK keep tipping their hat to 4's mechanics this many years later.
It took 8 months since the first trailer for us to actually see HOW it plays. Like, mechanics and everything!
And now I need to preorder just for Garou Terry ALONE. Also yeah, I guess Rollback Netcode is kind of important too.
Bravo SNK. Bravo indeed. This game is going to ROCK!!!
It also took them almost 8 months to shows off gameplay and contents for XIV, so it's not really surprising that XV took the same amount of time to shows everything as well lol
So, that's 13 teams? Pretty sweet. The only thing that sucks is I got to wait to February to play it!
Me too i really wanna buy this game
@@Salty-Josh don't worry we have 6 month to go 😂
thats a bit low for when u think about KoF14 already did, esp when the motto of this game in particular is "shatter all expectations", like I can wait for 3 months more when they add like 1 or 2 teams extra, like so far I dont see the "Offical Sponsor Team" returning yet, I also dont see Kim and his crew returning dispite him beign a fanfavorite and also Geese and his partners dont seem like to be in the basegame either, so wtf! SNK rly should push their release date back, I know they did it once already, but.. the way it is currently there are a bit too little characters I rly care about for one team to be wanting to buy this game day 1 :/
And its not like SNK doesnt have any options to make more of what they already did, esp cuz KoF is their mainseries title that got with KoF14 a revival for the company, and we get this? Shatter my expectations more SNK, they are sadly more intact then me or I assume many others want them to be!
@@Evilriku13 i kinda get where your coming from but better then sfv on lunch
@@Evilriku13 bro 39 is alot character too and has alot of character than dbzf in base roster lmao
I can't believe it, but they have actually shattered all my expectations
i haven't heard voice acting like this in YEARS...thank god it's back!
Now we wait for the official release of the main soundtrack to be released
My beautiful boi Ash is finally here! I'm so happy!
agora sim o KOF está voltando as suas origens atendendo os jogadores de fliper do kof 95 de 30 anos atrás até os jogadores mais novos ! esse jogo vai ser sucesso ! parabéns SNK !
I'm still optimistic for Rock Howard and Shingo.
Yep. They purposely left out one more team slot unannounced to shatter our expectations
"It doesn't match the timeline"
Kof14 players before rock was announced :/
This looks like it’ll have everything I’ve wanted in a fighting game for a long time.
So far 32 character had been confirmed in this game. Some make epic return like Heidern(KOF 2001 last appearance); Yashiro team(KOF 1997) and Chizuru(KOF 2003 last appearance)
"This is a big wolf, are you ok? BUSTER WOLF".
Thanks SNK ❤.
0:18
The Orochi team is back, especially Cris, they are beautiful like in the KOF 1997 😍.
I do wish Shermie gets her classic outfit again... she right now looks like someone u pay money for sexual activity for D:
And I rly dont like the new shirt of Chris here, maybe cuz its "inbalanced" with how its unsymmetric or cuz it looks kinda lazily redesigned in compare to Yashiro or even the from me criticized Shermie. I do am looking forward to play as Shermie, but it will be hard to like her like before to me
Two-flaming hands Chris was creepy as heck.
“Characters that define the series”
Kim is still not here and the old saga chars (the cys team) are launched.
With DLC
I remember Daikin or Kula not in kof having kim not in kof is nothing new lmao this is like kof 11 team
If i forgot kim (so sad) maybe he dont define (for me) and a lot of people the series, maybe like Yamasaki? Where is he?
SNK:"Characters that define the series!"
Also SNK:*Doesn't show Kim's pants.
*It's treason, then.*
@@miguelangelirribarrensalas6260 sorry but Kim was in every Kof not Yamasaki
As long as Angel is Among the 39 ill be happy, I have all the other characters I care about here already
I dont think so :(
there are only 7 more i don't think Angel will be one of them smh
Ash, Kukri and Elizabeth are probably Ash Team.
Maybe she will team with k and kula or with the new girl
Nope don't think so tbh
