KoFXIV notes and thoughts from #CB2016

---

These are pretty unorganized but these are my notes and thoughts on the game currently:

- There was no King in this build. There is no life for me.
- Game feels slower than previous iterations (kind of like how Xrd was first seen) but it runs smooth.
- Videos don't do it justice, it looks way better playing it live! Some more polish and shading can make the game look better.
- Max mode is simple as shit and it's fairly easy to confirm. You're given a short step forward after activation like XIII HD mode.

Luong
- Out of all the new characters, I've played her the most.
- Jump is a little floatier than everyone else.
- Air QCB+B/D can be TK'd, delay/change landing trajectories, and cross-up (can be followed up as well for resets.)
- Geki (QCF+A/B/C) works exactly like Mist Finer. A is high, B is mid, C is low. It can be held (she can't move while held) and D cancels the kick.
- Canceling st.CD into Geki seems to be a good tool in neutral. The blowback steps her forward before it becomes active.
- Air normals seem very good.
- I've confirmed with others that her ground axe kicks do not have invul at all. Super has a little.
- st.D is a god anti-air.

Banderas
- Only played him one match.
- Normals feel a little stubby, but his QCF+A/C feels good.

Kim
- Same ol' Kim.
- Divekick is like '98 and not XIII. I think it's better this way.
- far D is still a god, far C does work as well.
- far D xx cr.B st.B confirm into 66+A super is about 35%.

Iori
- Backdash taco still works.
- EX Rekka leads to alot of easy damage. You can do light confirms into it and I did DP afterwards for about 30%.
- Might be the system itself but Iori is waaaay slower than what the game is to me. Going backwards is fast as fuck (due to backdash taco) but forwards...
- Sparkle super has made some crazy trades. It does not go away when you're hit.
- All the old combos work. The classics.

Nelson
- He feels...strong. But no one knows how to play him yet lol.

Andy
- Feels like a mix of '98, '02, and XIII. Refreshing to play the character again.
- The new spiral kick cancel is really fast.
- No df+A makes me sad.
- Probably the fastest character I played in this build.
