The King of Fighters XIV

Introduction

Note: Game is still in-development; things are subject to change. KOF XIV is the latest entry of the KOF series, moving away from the sprites from XII & XIII and using a new 3D (2.5D) graphical base. XIV seems to be a mix of elements from '98, '02, and XIII, while still using KOF-standard systems, and including systems new to KOF like Just Defend (from Garou), and new properties, such as CD wall-splat (different from counter-wire). More information & details coming soon!
