kof14 really was the main foundation for kof15 next evolution to greater heights, and kof14 ain't that bad, actually it's quite good, has some really cool combos, snk did an above average tier effort, back there
Reminder KOF 13 still looks fucking gorgeous to this day and damn near put SNK out of business with how hard they went on the sprite and model work for the game
I honestly don't know what to think about this game. It looks nice and all, but it also looks like they're trying to be darker and edgier "Game of Thrones" type shit, which can end very badly in terms of the story ending up dull and depressing 'cause everyone's an asshole, there's no one to root for and the world is too fucked to be saved.
Like I hope it turns out good but I'm just not sure at the moment.
