Fighting Games

[Berry]

Only 39 characters? So the game is gonna have less characters than KOF XIV? If KOF XV was made completely from scratch then I would understand, but this game heavily reuses assets from its predecessor. Are the rest of the characters gonna be  DLC? Hopefully they compensate this by having the characters with bigger/more robust movesets... which seems to be intention if previous character trailers are any indication.

"The KOF series is know for reusing assets. Specially back when the series featured yearly re-" - That's besides the point!

I will admit that the reduced roster is disappointing, as it does leave a tense situation for players that were attached to these cut characters. I'm sure the characters were cut because SNK wanted to put more effort on UI, Content outside of Gameplay, and most especially the Graphics. For me, this suggest that SNK is going for a long-term support and we won't be seeing XVI for quite a while and it will hopefully surpass XIV roster size.

 Also, SNK decided to go for a DLC Team approach instead of just singular DLC. I wonder if buying a Team instead separately unlocks additional content in story or arcade mode? It better because I can see DLC price being quite hefty.
