This week’s The King of Fighters XIV team trailer features another round of unsavory personalities: Team South Town. Fan favorites Geese Howard and Billy Kane are present, along with new character Hein. There’s no introduction more suitable than seeing them throw down; check out Atlus’s character breakdown and trailer below. The South Town stage is pretty foreboding…
…but, before that! Don’t forget that this weekend is EVO2016, and that there will be a side event for The King of Fighters XIV there! It’s another opportunity to check out the game before it releases.
With series regulars Geese Howard, Billy Kane, and the newly introduced Hein, Team South Town is basically Team Fatal Fury with bad guys in THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV.
Let’s start with Geese Howard, the notorious crime lord from South Town who reminds me of a villain from a popular 1980s karate kids movie. He utilizes the Hakkyokuseiken style, and mercilessly brutalizes unlucky opponents with a mix of electric strikes and throws. Geese is big, bad, and ready to prove that he’s the strongest fighter on the planet by crushing the competition in the tournament. However he can’t do it alone, so he’s joined by his right hand man Billy Kane and dapper new bodyguard Hein (who legitimately all remind me of 80s villains). The bandana wearing Billy wields a tri-section staff which he uses to teach opponents all about his Bojutsu mastery and affinity for fire. On the other hand, Hein is ready to fight with his chess inspired fighting style called “Gambit.” When he’s not busy adjusting his glasses and fixing his tie, Hein puts his lanky limbs to deadly use and also appears to control some sort of dark-red energy in combat.
Additionally, PSN preorders are now open for Americas release of KOF XIV. Bonuses for digital preorders include a PS4 theme, the previously-revealed Classic Kyo costume DLC, and a Nightmare Geese DLC costume. A video for Nightmare Geese is below, along with Atlus’s description and a preorder link.
