The thing with Chris' design is that, it was meant to be like that, it was meant to make people think he's no big deal, they made a female voice him, and made his intro quote in Japanese "You look so Strong", all of that so the moment he transforms into Orochi, everyone gets caught by surprise

Some of the biggest glow-ups for me were Kyo, Iori, and Antonov. The former 2 had imo their worst designs to date in KoF XIV but in this they turned it around and gave us top 2 designs for them in KoF XV, Antonov's design was fine in the last game but this time around its steller.

I respect your opinion. I personally don't like Nameless' design. It is too edgy for my taste. K9999's design was simple but effective. One of the main reasons why I don't like Nameless is how he was made only to replace K9999 Edit: Although I have to agree. Nameless's theme is great.

Isla fits well as the typical urban streetwear or graffiti tagger fashion. It has a theme there, it mixes well. Shun'ei is a walking fashion disaster. The jacket hanging around his neck is the biggest offender of all. It feels like it tries to replicate Buggy The Clown from One Piece but fails to do so. The jacket is buttoned up on his neck over a collared shirt while the jacket is also collared. The necktie also completes the mess. Either remove the jacket and let him use only the shirt and tie, or wear the jacket as an unbuttoned outerwear instead of hanging it around like that. It would fix the look much more.

Shun'Eis design would be fine if they took the red or purple out of it and rolled up his other pant leg, theoretically it should work for a devil may care "gamer" arch type character but the combonation of the Teal, blue, orange, purple, red AND white makes him a confusing mess to read visually especially seeing as the Asymmetry in his design is kept exclusively to this pants and glowy hands but his recolors definitely show that its his color palate that really creats the visual confusion Edit: HELL if they aged him up a little and kept the desgin notes (like the loose tie and jacket over the shoulders) but put him in a 3 piece suit with the core colors of his jacket hed look cool as hell

Man, I feel like Terry's XIV design is really underrated. It feels like a nice balance between classic FF and Garou bomber jacket, giving off a more chill and laid-back vibe. I also really liked all the extra detail on his hat and jacket, but that might just be my personal preference because I really like that style. XIV Terry just felt more mature while not completely different from the classic, and I'm not sure that being huge and bulky really fits Terry.

To me Dolores was SNK saying "how do we put Bayonetta in the game without getting sued?" Iori does look really good now, probably better than ever, and Kyo is just his XIII design with some elements from his classic costume. Isla is definitely an attempt at the same idea they were going for with Shun'ei but this time they did a far better job. I kinda miss when K' and Kula wore the same pants and almost the same jacket but in different colors, it made it very clear that they're meant to be like siblings. And I must disagree about Krohnen, he makes a lot more sense as K''s rival now that he actually mirrors some of his design elements (they're just two versions of a biker outfit) than back when K9999 was simply a carbon copy of Tetsuo.

KOF and SNK masters of character design. The polish on each one in this game makes me so excited to see how the roster develops.
Aside from how cool most of the character's costumes are, I gotta give it up for the faces and facial animations in this game. For a relatively lower budget game it would have been so easy to give all the female characters a generic doll face for example. But the fact that every character has unique facial features and great looking expressions and character acting really goes a long way. I really love how King looks in this game, with her face looking a little more "masculine", if that makes sense
I think Ash has been going downhill a bit since his first appearance. I loved his look originally when KOF still had the smaller sprites. He looked really badass actually. KOF12 and 13 made him a bit too aloof imo and 15 cranked that to eleven and added the more effeminate touch to him too. I kinda get it though, besides Benimaru there aren't really many characters of that archetypes in KOF while the roster is full of "cool main character vibes" characters. So overall I'm fine with him. I'm just glad to have him back!
I'm going to get crucified for this...I like Shun'ei and Meitenkun's designs. Maybe it's cuz I'm new to KOF, and yeah I know "they're weird, insert [they look like generic anime protagonist] line here," but that makes them stand out, especially Mei's sleep gimmick, and their lore/backstory actually fits their design, something else I appreciate. Helps they're a massive improvement over 14. Then again everyone in this game looks great and I hope XV gets more people into the series.
