King of Fighters XV (PC/PS5/XSX/PS4) - February 17, 2022

I still wish more fighting games would have the guts to age up their roster. Seeing everyone still a rip-roaring teenager 30 years down the line is just "eh" after awhile. SNK isn't the only guilty party, but I suppose they have "flash" and "style" and "fashion" so baked into their character designs of the game, you kinda just have to have everyone stuck in time wearing their "legendary" outfit.

That Iori trailer looked good, though. Not my guy, but he finally looks acclimated to 3D.

Maybe I'll forever be jaded because nothing will look as good as 13 ever again but I still don't think these graphics are that hot.

[Lucavi]

They aren't, but they're a marked improvement from 14. Leaps and bounds, but again, we're talking about SNK, who probably has an operating budget smaller than your savings account.

I can be jaded because I'll never see old-school SNK fighters like Jack and Heavy D again, but I can also be fair enough to mark that these graphics are way better than their previous game. I, too, wish for the return of hand-drawn, but they don't have the money for that. Absolutely not.

Bring back Shingo.

That saxophone theme though!

Maybe I'll warm up to it more when we see Athena's new costume.

And I'll cool off when I hear Athena's whiny-ass loud voice. That VA needs to take a rest.

KOF is so fucking ugly lol

I wish KoF would do what SF does and age up the characters, yet have their classic outfit and appearance as a "classic" skin. Its been 30 years, KoF. Age someone!

Monkey's paw curls
70 year old Mai Shiranui with saggy granny tiddies.

And she'd wear something different, just like with other fight games that have a timeskip and have an older character. Then you'd have her classic outfit with glorious tits flopping everywhere.

Then you can grow the damned series and have her and Andy's kid as a fighter or something, instead of having KOF in this weird 90's time loop where everything is frozen into 1996.

You do realize that this game is being made with maybe a 1/16th of the budget of a Capcom or Arcsys game right?
