DLC: East vs West – VOTE AGAIN
As reported previously, the survey revealed that the DLC that English speaking fans wanted most was Story Mode, a better Training mode and Frame Data!
Many outspoken fans were quick to dismiss this opinion: “Listen to the fans who actually play the game”.
However, since the people who filled in the survey actually wanted frame data as well, it’s hard to say they aren’t “players”.
When asked if they filled out the survey, some responded with “not yet”. And thus, the sound of a facepalm echoed through the halls. Are these fans too busy playing to take a minute to tell the company what they actually want? Sheeesh. But nooooo, it’s fine, they’ll just whine about it on the Internet later. “They just won’t listen!” Yeah, that makes sense. Those who did fill in the survey, including those who wanted a PC release, are a clear minority…

Are these vocal fans actually a niche within a niche? Are the players who play the game competitively getting the wrong impression that they represent everyone’s opinion? The problem is that the players are the ones we see on streams, representing the community! They need to be happy with the game, or they simply aren’t going to play it. Remember they aren’t playing for big money….
The Japanese Survey has now closed, and the results show that more than 70% want character DLC!
According to one source, the Japanese community is very used to micro transactions and the usual price is no more than a few goes in the arcade.
However, looking at the backlash from the Western fans, SNK may well be wise not to jump to conclusions. Even Blizzard released their extra characters for free. Fans seem to be more happy to pay for cosmetics, costumes etc.
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV:

But let’s check this one more time- we hope you have just a second to click a button, you won’t need anything more. Is 50 characters enough?
While we’re on the subject of DLC, why not give us your feedback on the very stickly issue of Max Mode and how players are not happy with it, or rather the way that certain characters win, while others cannot (we’re looking at you Robert, K’, Iori and Kyo). Here are the solutions as offered up by the community – which do you think is best?
Twitter is neck and neck….
Happy with #KOFXIV max mode the way it is, like/rt (please consider Iori, Kyo, Robert and K')…

Don't like long range punishes into max mode? Want 2 reduce the running speed of max mode so it only works for close combos? LIKE/RT #KOFXIV

Btw, if you are tired of people complaining it’s difficult to find a room, here’s how you can help:
Here's an idea by @desmond_kof everyone can contribute in: Make a 24hr lobby for #KOFXIV, let it run. Trying that out now. 5hr test.

About Oyaji
Kim Jae Hoon and Kim Dong Hwan??!
May lee?
Also, I believe DLC characters and costumes as well as balance patches are the best way to keep players interested and coming back as well as attracting new players so please let us get to work on this!
EX characters please like from KOF 98 and KOFMI2 eg: Mr Karate2/Classic Ryo.
Hayate, Duo Lon.
i would like to see Orochi Leona and MR Karate.
For the trainning mode: add for the Guard: “1 hit Guard”. (to see more easy “legit combo” after the first hit)
Make visible data frame for every character in the tranning mode.
Where the hell is Griffon he must do battle with villainous dinosaur
Yes, these votes are carried over from kof 13.
Added more characters and hmmmm options, thanks all
Ahhh I gotcha! Thank you 🙂
Wouldn’t change anything, people go nuts when it’s anonymous
-DLC character Rock Howard
-Increased move set for characters missing many classic and effective moves.
Aren’t the results from the DLC character wish-list carried over from the last survey? I doubt that over 1000 people already voted on it when only ~50 have voted on the other questions.
No Wild Wolf Terry or Mr Karate Ryo? There should be a choice for alternate version of SNK Hero Team: Terry Ryo Kyo.
Also, no Takuma?
Thanks. Finally I can vote.
Hope we get Vanessa
Maybe the next poll can start with “do you own the game” and then you can vote?
Hinako? Ok added
We can add those 🙂
Instead of nerfing characters or max mode, buff other characters by increasing their standing b’s.
May I suggest something for the DLC options?
It´s ok to have more dlc characters, stages, story and training options, etc. but I really like to see an update with more special moves for some characters like Ryo, King, Vice, Chang, Clark, etc. I mean, they feel a little boring with only 3 or 4 special moves. I think everyone needs to have a base of 5 or 6 moves to have more variety and options in both offensive and defensive gameplay.
Might be too late, but I think you should include an option of “increase meter cost” for the ‘Best way to fix Max Mode’ question. I’ve seen that idea thrown around quite a bit.
Disappointed
No Hinako in the poll
Kasumi, Adel, and Jhun tho….
Sshhhh……………………..no Classic Kyo in the poll? While I mean Classic Kyo, its NOT means Kusanagi, but the REAL Kyo! Too bad I cannot vote for character DLC that I want.
