The King Of Fighters XV now has a 4 team with Orochi team who was fully revealed with the reveal of Chris. Here we will talk about the 3rd heavenly king new trailer and more since more information is out on both him and his team. First though if you didn’t see the trailer check it out.
Now a little back story since you are wondering why people have a love and hate relationship or why people are saying this is a new/ old team name. Chris and what were originally called the new face team with him Yashiro and Shermie appeared kof 97. In this debut they showed new face team to be there normal forms while there Orochi forms were saved for the orochi team aka the mid bosses before you face Orochi. Thus why people are caught a little of guard by the name but also accepted it. Think about it as New face team doesn’t make sense since a they are not new and b players and characters know who they so they might as well go with Orochi team.
Interesting thing about this is the bios. While all 3 tease a wicked nature or there Orochi forms it is in Yashiro where we see what they are up to. The team according to the bio is looking into Verse and his powers. Similar to how the sacred treasure team is looking into it as well as the Orochi team activities. Also it they show more emphasis on Yashiro reincarnations which to me might signal that when Goenitz isn’t here he takes lead. but it is just something to note.
Now back to Chris and his trailer. The first thing you notice even before you see Chris is we have a new stage. The stage is probably there’s or at least it would make sense for it to be since we are talking about a band when they are not in KOF ( or trying to wipe out mankind). With that said though we are talking about a stage that screams Persona 4 to me in some ways.
With that said we then see Chris and his look is a look back to his old style but with some changes. Slight changes similar to how Yashiro was slightly changed. so we small tear in the shirt suspenders hanging with boots that have really wide openings. I have no words as It is hard to describe them. Luckily I can show you.
Okay this brings us to gameplay as we see Chris is the same way as he was with 98 and 2002 um. For those who do not know that means Chris is the same fast moving crazy kid from the previous games. Same thing similarly to Shermie and Yashiro where only a few small changes here and there. Thanks to Orpheus we see what those changes are as compared to KOF 2002 um.
Now there is something else to be noticed in this video which are small intros. For most of the trailer we have been seeing these big intros before the fight. We weren’t sure if they were for story all for all of them. Here we see that there will be quick intros as well as these cinematic ones. Something fans have been asking for.
Now hopefully everyone has them but we will have to see when we learn more about the game. We also have to wait to see something else. With the team reveal I was hoping for a tease to there Orochi forms. We didn’t as such so it seems SNK might be saving that I am saying saving as we have yet to have a KOF without this team having there Orochi forms playable. But we will see as times goes on what SNK has for us. Until then.
