The King of Fighters XIV: Team Psycho Soldier Trailer

Leave a reply

This week’s The King of Fighters XIV trailer features Team Psycho Soldier. Everyone here should be familiar to KOF fans. The composition of this team – Athena, Sie, Chin – surpasses the force of time itself. Athena has been an idol forever, Kensou has been in love with with Athena forever, Chin has been…in love with alcohol forever. Don’t ruin a good thing, right? Unless you want to go for a wardrobe change, like Kensou did for this game.

Check out the trailer and Atlus’s description for the characters below!

The King of Fighters XIV Team Mexico

The King of Fighters XIV: Team Mexico Trailer

Leave a reply

This week’s The King of Fighters XIV team trailer features Team Mexico! It features two returning characters who haven’t been around in some of the recent games: Ramon and Angel. It also features a newcomer in the King of Dinosaurs. It all makes sense.

Check out AtlusUSA’s description and the new team trailer below! Keep an eye out for KOF XIV at EVO2016 this year, two weekends from now.

The King of Fighters XIV: Team Mexico Trailer

As we’ve been introducing the teams that are going to be in THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV, we’ve come to realize an issue: None of those teams have a GIANT DINOSAUR MAN on their team! Well, thanks to Team Mexico, we’ve fixed that right up!

The tyrannosaur-man is known as the King of Dinosaurs and he’s ready to lead Team Mexico to fame and glory. To be honest, not much is known about the mysterious KOD, but we do know he’s a professional wrestler with a mysterious past, who’s fighting in the tournament for a personal matter. Seriously though, when you’re dressed like a dinosaur, is backstory really all that important? All you need to know is that he’s literally a giant man in a dinosaur costume who bites, claws, and tosses his opponents around like a rag doll. Since the Dinosaur can’t win the tournament alone, he’s enlisted the help of the fiery Angel and mighty Ramon. Angel is a former assassin of NESTS who boasts superhuman strength that allows her to deal some devastating damage. With a vicious combination of Muay Thai strikes and astounding pro wrestling moves, it’ll be tough to outshine her in the tournament. Well, unless you’re the legendary luchador Ramon a.k.a. “The Mightiest Tiger.” The confident Ramon wants to compete for the love of the “sport,” and wants to assist the King of Dinosaurs in his personal quest by throwing down some of his signature moves in the ring.

The King of Fighters XIV Announced as EVO 2016 Side Event; Free Play Stations and More Planned

Leave a reply

AtlusUSA recently announced that The King of Fighters XIV will be featured as a side event for EVO 2016. AtlusUSA will be running their own booth at the EVO venue, at which a tournament for The King of Fighters XIV will be held on Saturday, July 16th. The latest build of the game will be played – which means not all characters will be present, to be sure. There is no entry fee for the event, though it does cost money to sign up for EVO itself, at least as a spectator.

There is also prize money for the top three finishers: $1,400 for 1st, $700 for 2nd, and $350 for 3rd.

Besides this, other promotional events for KOF XIV are planned. On Friday and Saturday, the Atlus booth will host free play stations for KOF XIV all day. On 12:00 PM Saturday, SNK will host an hour-long developers’ panel for the game, followed by a half-hour-long autographing session. The KOF XIV tournament is scheduled from 2 PM to 4 PM, with a special exhibition match and the commencement of Top 8 held afterwards at a time that is to be determined.

To enter, visit the signup page Google Doc linked in the blog post above. It contains the ruleset: stipulations on Dualshock use, structure of sets (best of 3, with the exception of Winners Finals, Losers Finals, and Grand Finals, which is standard for EVO), and only the loser of previous match can change team composition. Importantly, it also notes that the entrant cap for this side tournament is 64.

EVO 2016 is coming up soon! There should be some good matches to watch.

The King of Fighters XIV: Team South America Trailer, E3 Exhibition Match Archive

Leave a reply

Team South America graces us with their presence this week in The King of Fighters XIV’s cycle of playable character videos. I do like the theme music for this team, and their stage background. Wonder if they will also be a favorite of other players of this game? These are all new characters, so be sure to watch the trailer to see what they’re about. Atlus U.S.A.’s character description immediately follows the trailer, in this article.

…but before that, don’t forget about this YouTube archive of 11 exhibition matches played at E3 2016! AtlusUSA has captured the exhibition videos of skilled KOF players and uploaded them to their YouTube account. This is an amazing opportunity to watch great players go at it. The sets are Best of 3, and there are knowledgeable commentators for each match. Don’t miss it!

And now, back to your regularly scheduled team trailer:

The King of Fighters XIV: Team South America

The agile members of Team South America — Bandeiras Hattori, Zarina, and Nelson — are focusing their energy towards fighting anyone and everyone in THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV Tournament!

Even though each member of Team South America are fighting for different reasons, they’ve banded together to help each other out. First off, Bandeiras Hattori is a self-trained ninja who practices the legitimately dangerous art of, uh, Brazilian ninjutsu (not to be confused with Brazilian jiu-jitsu!). Basically, Bandeiras is a 100% certified Brazilian ninja who wants to win the tournament to earn respect and get students for his dojo. Next up is Zarina, the savior of rain forests! She wants to raise money and awareness for the environment, and has zero issues beating up competitors in the name of nature. Zarina will dazzle opponents with her acrobatic Capoeira fighting style and is a strong member of this team. Oh, she’s also bringing along her adorable toucan friend Coco. Lastly, there’s Nelson, the boxing prodigy who wants to punch his way to the top in order to raise money for a loved one. He lost one of his arms in an accident, but was lucky enough to receive a mysterious cybernetic replacement that you could say gives him the upper hand during fights. With his fancy footwork and nasty hooks, Nelson will be a difficult opponent for anyone.

The King of Fighters XIV: “Official Invitation” Team Trailer

Leave a reply

New week, new The King of Fighters XIV team trailer. This one features a trio of new faces. Very colorful people, with the exception of the bleak (but deadly) Kukri. Swanky stage background, too.

Reminder that The King of Fighters XIV will be present at the fighting game tournament CEO 2016 both as a competitive event and as a game that can be demoed by players. CEO 2016 is taking place this weekend. It’s an opportunity to view more footage of the game, if you weren’t already satisfied with E3 2016.

Anyway, check out the new team trailer below. For this article, we’ll post Atlus’ press statement describing the three new characters after the trailer.

The King of Fighters XIV:Team Official Invitation

So what does a crack team of ultimate fighters look like? First up is Sylvie, a former member of the shadowy NESTS organization, whose modified body allows her to unleash electrical attacks on opponents. While those powers are deadly on their own, what makes her so dangerous is the fact that she’s as nutty as a fruitcake. Apologies, they call that “being quirky” nowadays right? Just look at her crazy eyeball-themed outfit and completely unpredictable attacks! Next up is Kukri, the mysterious hooded underground fighter whose gritty personality compliments his ability to wield sand. I mean, just imagine fighting someone who constantly attacks with pocket sand and multiply that by a thousand to get Kukri. Lastly, we’ve got the magnificent Mian who turns every fight into a performance worthy of the Chinese Opera. She’s skilled at Bian Lian — the art of face-changing — and her attacks involve a lot of graceful and vigorous dance moves.
