First for best girl

>Could've gotten Mr Karate II in KOF XII/XIII
>XIV artbook shows Wild Ambition Mr Karate II

When will SNK pull the trigger and fucking do it?

Don't mind me, just posting best ass.

Indeed

Reposting for the new thread

It's already in the OP.

Wish they brought him back. Why not touch up his design like they did in 2013 & remove all the Tetsuo references? K9999 was way better than Nameless & I don't get how SNK can get pissy at a homage character who's based off a character from a good movie.

Because K9999 wasn't an homage but a straight up ripoff

>homage

He was a straight up carbon-copy.
Homage is like Benimaru -> Polnareff,
Blue Mary -> 18,
Tung -> Master Roshi,
Chizuru -> Yohko Shiraki

K9999, had the same VA, same moves, same hairstyle, same face and same dialogues. Nameless and K9999 can stay gone forever.

Again, take all those references out with new original moves that are only similar in function, touch up his design, & there you go. Nameless is seriously just a shit replacement.

>K9999, had the same VA, same moves, same hairstyle, same face and same dialogues.
He even had a special intro with Kusanagi that ripped an exchange between Tetsuo and Kaneda, because the joke is that Kusanagi's VA was Kaneda.

They would have to change a lot of things since , but maybe they could go with more casual clothes like pic related?

>Nameless and K9999 can stay gone forever.
My boy Nameless will come back, just wait and see.

Falcoons redesign is the perfect new design I would go with to bring him back, honestly.

...

No death, only memes

I love Angel

tl;dr - To stop Kula's pirouette->ice ball pressure, use a reversal special/super or a fast low-profile low.

I love Gato I really do. But that video should've been out ages ago, this is something people should be labbing considering how frequent Kula is.

youtube.com/watch?v=Je1BmIzTm10

It's little topics like this that I don't know to look for. You don't know if shit's punishable or not unless you try it, and unlike Killer Instinct, the game doesn't tell you the frame data directly.

To be fair with Gato, he only spreads the info discovered by other players.

It's why we have videos like the one in the OP that says "here are 350+ moves and strings you're supposed to be punishing." Info like this isn't easily attained unless you put your nose to the grindstone and read those frame charts.

That's a hell of a tan.

Well I just watched episode 22.
Talking about every episode up until the recent one I've just watched, the character interactions seem so stiff and weird. Probably because I'm a long time fan, but the way characters act in this show is off, the biggest offenders are Kyo and Benimaru.

Benimaru is a complete jackass and cannot read the situation, even though in the games he's shown to be level headed. Kyo is the one who gets no pun intended, "heated up".

Kyo is extremely polite, they turned him into a character SNK wanted to avoid. He's too similar to Terry and Ryo. He's too polite, there's no confidence, cockiness, smack talk and overall dickish nature surrounding Kyo when he talks to other chars. In episode 22(raw version), he's being way too buddy buddy with Terry a character he's actually not friends with in the games. They're competitors and Kyo always has a "I can handle this myself" mindset unless its Orochi related. Destiny is not as bad as people make it out to be, but its definitely got some fanfiction elements slapped onto it.

And lastly, Rugal's new VA is incredible. Props to him. It reminds me of the old VA, Wakamoto is a legend but thats because he's Wakamoto his voice doesn't scream Rugal to me.
I'm the type of player who will go balls deep in training mode. But i wont know how to deal with other characters since they dont appear as a imediate threat unlike Kula who is high up on the tiers and is easy enough for people to pick up and use.

The 350+ moves to punish, video is very helpful in that aspect. I'd hate to lose because i didnt know how to deal with a low tiers gimmick.

But does she love you back?

DOUSHITA

I wish

>but the way characters act in this show is off, the biggest offenders are Kyo and Benimaru.
I feel the same, they turnedBeni into just comic relief, while in the games he jokes and flirt with the girls, but isn't dumb and gets serious when he needs. I don't even know what to say about Destiny Kyo, he looks a completly different character for me. He have zero cockiness and looks angry/bored most of the time, when he isn't bowing for Chin.

But AoF team still had it worse, Takuma is nowhere to be found and I noticed in this episode Kyo wanted to fight with Robert instead of Ryo? Why?

Also, Athen spent 3 episodes charging only to beat up Kim's team... I thought she was trying to destroy the statues?

why does joe meet shermie in a final fight stage

i wonder how much rugal paid.
do you think he might have been cheap when it comes to his workers?

No death

Only Ash

Considering how fresh Vice and Mature look. They probably got good money. Goenitz is an a-hole so he probably didn't pay them shit, disobey Goenitz and you'll die. See Leona's farther and anyone in that village.

well he did make iori go riot right before he died just to get back at them.
worst boss

Two words: Expense account.

Who hdid this animation?

Probably a canned animation from one of those 3D dating sims.

I want names!

bump

it's honey select, you butt fucking faggot, it's been said like a million times already

Falcoons redesign & the design they used for the card game in 2013 would be good enough redesigns for the character since they gave him a little bit of longer hair. Change/tweek up the moveset & I think it would be fine. Nameless to me was just never really good.

It's weird to say but I actually like a lot of Falcoon's current work

he got talent, he just probably shouldn't be calling the shots

I always found it interesting that Rugal's original VA, Toshimitsu Arai, was shared with Heidern, and that work always turned out great - Rugal doesn't really need Wakamoto to shine IMO.

And change the VA, of course.

That one is a given.
Definitely, Falcoons good at drawing. Just wouldn't want another Maximum Impact on our hands.

POWER WAVE

...

Kula is wonderful

Kula's a spoiled brat whose only excuse for her behavior is that she learned relatively recently what it means to be emotional and human.

Sylvie is a good girl

very good

She's annoying and retarded as fuck but she has a nice ass

>nice ass
no

>Finally saw footage of Mai's bloomers in Chinese KOFXIV

Finally some art of Athena and Sylvie getting frisky!!

Kasumi is cutest and wears proper karate clothes

I also love his stuff, it's just that he needs to keep it more simple: his MI original work gave characters weird ass outfits, crazy 2-colored hairs (and even 3 colors in 1 or 2 characters) and other cringy ideas you would mostly see in the Zoolander movies.

Pic related, he can do wonders if he keeps it simple.

Nice, nice,, also this needs to happen in the next KOF/Ikari meeting.

Tetsuya Nomura has the same problem. His work on stuff like Parasite Eve (Which I should replay as it is the season) was generally solid but then you give him some power later on and next thing you know we have Dirge of Cerberus where everyone is wearing straight jackets or has underwear on their faces

seriously though the fuck is with, Japanese characte designers.

Aikido, you ponce. Kasumi practices Todou-ryuu Aikido.

>Seth
What the fuck

Aikijutsu rather. She has actual striking attacks and isn't afraid to elbow a bitch.

Wakamoto was only Rugal for one game and his voice didn't fit that character at all. He was far too serious when Rugal is has a lighter tone. His pitch is usually higher too where as Wakamoto is more of a bass. Rugal is practically goofy in his characterization generally. I'm glad when 2002 got the UM version, wakamoto was replaced with Arai again. Arai also came back for Skystage, and a some other spin offs as well, and they usually use clips of his voice for stuff like the Metal Slug defense games as well. 98 OL goes without saying since it was based on 98.

I dunno about the new guy, I now he's played him in that destiny mobile as well, but I hope he can give him some of that over the top almost levity Rugal used to have in his voice that Arai did if Arai never reprises the role for some reason.

Falcoon can't draw faces for shit. Fuck that guy. Also I saw him do some Guilty Gear redesigns for fun and they were overdesigned garbage.

He gave Jam pig tails instead of an onion ring. Can ya believe that?

Falcoon is definitely talented but I'm not a fan of the way he draws faces.

...

Angel is the most overrated KoF girl.

She's one of the producer's waifus, and we haven't seen her since '02UM. It's hard to ignore Angel's comeback.

You cant go wrong with Kims themes.
youtube.com/watch?v=vWgf3XuBInk

smash

I find her suddenly shift in popularity odd to say the least

Angel was super popular since her debut. Sexy design + being top tier in '01 and '02 also helped her bump up in popularity.

Like Shermie she was the bad slut who appeared in the last game of the Saga. People wanted her back for a long time and putting her in XIV helped boost her popularity to new levels.

I view Angel as another Shermie, created to pander to waifufags and slut-lovers. She's also very easy to draw so, lewd art will be bumping, people ask who's this slut and boom you got another Angel fan. SNK should take advantage of this.

It is a far cry for the more PURITY focused mindset you see elsewhere

Look who is coming to 98UMOL

Samurai Mr Karate looks fucking badass

...

I'm so happy Pepsitou continues making KOF doujins

Anyone who defaults to Mai is shit. Be it doujins, porn, lewd art, SFM or just normal fanart.

Pepsitou/Okyou/Butcha-u >>>>

Pepsitou is an Angelfag though

Every character deserves a fag. Even sluts like Angel.

Angel is pure

PURE

>I view Angel as another Shermie, created to pander to waifufags and slut-lovers

More like she was created as Styleos personal waifu.

...

...

>waifu

So like Shermie. A virgin bait, waifu character. But now the waifu has shorter hair and you can see one eye instead of none!!

I can see where this is going. Please don't post the BLACKED one.

Athena is the best kof girl!

Annoying, retarded and slut too

They have taken advantage of Angel, slapping her into Kimi wa Hero where she doesn't really fit.

...

Who wants to play? I need to Kula someone.

no death

only spoiler

...

...

...

tell me what you think of malin

>Uses hidden weapons
>Hates Yuri for some reason
That's all the characterization she's ever gotten.

A Choi clone. They made a female Choi, and she's such a shit character that SNK's plan failed. Usually slapping a vagina on something will make them somewhat popular, but she made her debut in a shitty game and was forgettable in XI because as I said, Choi with a vagina.

Also people need to get the idea that Eiji was ok with the Team in XI. He looked at the 2 and sighed at how weak they clearly are, and that its a massive downgrade from his '95 team but he didn't care since having a Team = Entering = Maybe fighting Ryo.

THICC

bombed harder than hinako did.

This one is beautiful
