downloading shingo dlc here comes a special boy !!
Throwing this on again as I am a born sucker who needs to at least try Shingo in this game. He still rules, his VA still rules, I think his new outfit looks good, I'm glad you can still whiff cancel cr.D, I wish his proximity unblockable was still a DP motion and was also still a proximity unblockable instead of a command grab, I wish he still checked GameFAQs during his final bankai. About what I expected. Welcome back, kiddo!
Anyway, the game: one of my major problems with it reared back up when I watched the Shingo trailer and was able to guess what the EX version of all his moves would do before I saw it. I've spoken about it previously, but there's just no surprises in this - it's a combo game, but to me it seems like there are very fixed routes you have to go down to Do the Big Combo and you're not really able to stray from them (also had this problem with XIV). XIII was a combo game too, but was more freeform, more experimental, more interesting - due in no small part to you being able to produce some real bullshit. I think games like this have to have a sufficient amount of truly stupid nonsense in them to be worth a damn. Look at Marvel 3! Any time I watch that game nowadays there's a solid chance that I'll see something I've never seen before, and I think that could probably happen in KOFXIII, and I think there's almost no chance of it happening in KOFXV. The whole thing just feels sterile to me, missing some vital spark. It doesn't help that it looks ugly to mine eyes, that there's something wholly unsatisfying about the animations, that character proportions are often freaky and alien (check out Ryo's Tetsuo Hara head to body ratio, and take a good look at Vanessa's fingers, it's fucked). The new characters do nothing for me, they didn't bring back Mian, the fucking weasels actually want you to pay extra for Kim. I dunno man, I just don't like this one. It's trite to say but 98 is better, so why would I waste the time? Let's play 98. If you haven't played 98, I really recommend playing 98, it's very cool and looks great and has a dope roster and is full of personality and dumb shit like the unblockable fireball glitch (love that one). Also the international subtitle is "The Slugfest", which is just so awesome. Try it!

I love king of fighters i think the roster is really cool and fun and I rlly enjoy picking three characters for my ass kicking entrouge. I think this one is kinda weird with its reasoning for some of the characters being back but otherwise its the best looking a 3d kof has ever looked in my opinion
i wish street fighter 4 looked like this lol
ALSO B JENET IS BACK!! cant wait for snk to vault her again for another decade but.. atleast shes here! my favorite character purely bc i think her kit is so fun and something abt a pirate lady is intriguing to me.

Id probably either like or dislike this game a lot more if i was aware of more than like 12% of the overarching plot in king of fighters

final thoughts: beating motherfuckers with your high heels will never not be gnarly

Jogo de luta do ano, não que tenha muita competição.

Pegou o XIV e consertou todos os erros, visualmente tá bem melhor, apesar de ainda parecer um bucado genérico ele rejeitou os efeitos realistas pra uma pegada mais cartunesca, o que é bem melhor que o 14. A direção visual é boa no geral, só que passa um ar meio genérico nas entrelinhas, mas ainda sim é um colírio pros olhos comparado com o seu antecessor. design dos personagens julgo dizer que é um dos melhores da série, adorei o redesign de varios personagens.

O elenco é INCRÍVEL, trouxeram muitos personagens que nunca viram a luz do dia em 3D, touxeram o time orochi de volta, Rugal, TROUXERAM O K9999 CARA. O K9999 VÉI, PRECISO FALAR OUTRA COISA? Digo de boca cheia que é o melhor elenco de KOF, e só vai aumentando.

O sound design é incrível, é o melhor da franquia, aquela nota GRAVE E PESADA de guitarra que toca toda vez que você ativa o clima é simplesmente fenomenal. Preciso nem falar da OST, que ainda está de pé como uma das melhores da franquia junto com 13 e o 14.

Refinaram até o talo as mecânicas ótimas porém falhas do XIV, EX não precisa estourar a barrinha isso já é um avanço drástico. Os combos tão bem mais simplificados, é bom pros new players, mas eu meio que a variedade de combo do 13, mas a do XV é ótima.

Tenho minhas reclamações com o sistema de barra (QUICK mode e MAX mode), a história merda que é essa saga, o netcode e matchmaking horrível, o preço das DLCs aqui no Brasil... mas meh, não desabona a qualidade total do jogo.

Meu 2° KOF favorito!

9.5/10

KOFXV is an amazing fighting game1 with an impeccable roster of unique fighters with badass super moves and Climax moves. The characters are vast and feature characters from the history of King of Fighters, as well as Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury. The models are high quality and very artistic in its style and design. The male characters look badass and muscular, while the females look badass, sexy, and cute. The story mode is a classic arcade style story, where you choose 3 members for a team (depending on which 3 are paired based on the roster is who's story you'll go through, with the most important being Isla and Shun'eis being the most important in terms of what happens. The game is a very japanese esk fighter but features a vast amount of diversity among the cast. The game is my second king of fighters and i have to say it was a very amazing and awesome experience. If you were a little unsure about this series of Fighting games, i absolutely recommend it. 😁❤️
