That's a really bad way to shatter expectations imo.
Villains from major kof arcs
Orochi : rugal
Nest : igniz
Past : saiki
( which is already the shattered expectations as rugal isnt supposed to maintain orochi powers and Saiki is stuck in time limbo )
Let's randomly throw Geese in instead.
Who has his own arc and team already.
FF geese isnt KOF geese.
It's weird to go Rugal/Igniz/Saiki, wouldn't it? It'd be Orochi/Igniz/Saiki if we're talking about all the final, final bosses from each arc.
I know the leaks were debunked, but it would be nice for Jeff Bogard to actually be a real thing, just so we can have an Master's Team consisting of Jeff, Takuma, and Gang-il
That way Kim's team frees up one spot which can now be Kim, Luong, May Lee or Jhun Hoon.
These would definitely fit the "shatter all expectations" thing.
Although if they did bring back Takuma for KOF, I wonder if his 3D Model and play style would be based on the XIII style (like Ryo) or would be more closer to his MVS incarnation.

Yeah this is what I'll think till proven otherwise. Sacred Treasures have never been a default team and I don't see it happening now.
I could maybe see a Terry, Rock, Geese team happening but I don't know how it could be justified given all three hate each other iirc.
Well the thing is, they got rid of Orochi right after XIV in the epilogue lmao.
Kyo Iori and Chizuru speedran the fuck out of it.
So the next best thing is Rugal.

It's a shame 2002UM didn't use the four team system so we could have had the Four Heavenly Kings as a full team.
i kind hope we get team masters team back at some point, we got Heidern as DLC in 14 so i'm hoping he sticks around and is part of master team againBring him back
Terry/Geese/Rock would be a sitcom-ass team. The post-battle dialogue would be very entertaining. Rock and his two dads
I don't know if we'll have a dedicated "villain team" for KOF XV. KOF XIV didn't really have a dedicated villain team unless you count the South Town Team, and even then, that was mainly Geese chasing after his own interests.
I think the boss will be a new Verse, like "Omega Verse" or something, since a lot of the endings teased that Verse or some Verse-like creature was going to return. I think we'll see a couple villains return to try and chase after that power. Maybe we'll see a Team Rugal consisting of Rugal, Vice and Mature like in the old KOF days, and we might see a Team Harukeshi(Those from the Past), consisting of Saiki, Shion and Botan. If we see a team NESTS, then I don't know who would be on it, since almost everyone in NESTS is either out, or was a boss character, and I can't imagine SNK dropping characters like Igniz down to normal level.
If we see a Team TFTP/Saiki, then that gives Team Ash/Elizabeth a reason to return, so they could oppose them. I could easily see a Team Ash team consisting of Ash/Elizabeth/Oswald. And, Heidern could form a team to try and take down Team Rugal, giving SNK an excuse to reuse that Heidern model from XIV. And, if we get a Team NESTS, we already have Team K' in the back.
KOF XV is still supposed to be the continuation of Shun'ei's story, so if we do get these returning KOF villains, they won't be in the spotlight. I don't think we're going to see NESTS, Rugal and TFTP team up.

Terry, Geese and Shun'ei were a special team in KoF XIV with an unique ending picture. Obviously that's not the same as an actual team though. But maybe it points to that not being impossible.
If they want to showcase the resurrection plot they set up, I'd think we'll certainly see returning villains. And teaming them up would be a way to avoid having to give each one full teams. There are issues with that though (like how NESTS didn't have any boss balanced as a playable character).

*Every fighting game
Regarding this topic, SNK is definitely smart to reuse as many assets as they can, because frankly people absolutely don't give a shit and really don't notice at all unless it's pointed out to them . Hell sometimes people don't even notice if they don't reuse assets. Most KOF14's models just needed a little polishing and the animation quality is good enough.
sf5 is just sf4 with more shadows.
That would be really ambitious. I don't think they'll go for the biggest fighting game roster of all time(excluding stuff like Mugen), but I could see SNK going for the biggest roster in KOF history. I believe the KOF game with the biggest roster is 2002 UM, but it's not that much higher than XIV's final roster at 58 characters. I can see KOF XV having a 60+ character roster, with the information we now seem to know from these few trailers.
Possibility that your right is quite high. I think the main reason im speculating is the the TAG line of shatter all expectations and to be honest none of my expectations have been shattered.
Personally I think what they mean by "shatter all expectations" is the team shake ups, like what they did with the Benimaru trailer.
I would like Momoko, but that's probably unlikely. My tastes in KOF characters are fairly simple anyways right now (Terry, Yuri, Athena).
EDIT: Whoops late about the OST tweet
Nice they're showcasing the OST and stages like this. Trailers and teams continuing to get released like this each week isn't bad, considering they're also showing off new gameplay each trailer. Now I'm wondering where Meitenkun's music is from though lol.

This channel is great. I binged on his KOF Lore playlist a while back to get up to date (I only really played 02 as a kid)
Will check it out
While it's indeed rough, I wouldn't think about him. I would be thinking about the developers who have no say in the matter & are working hard on it.
That channel makes me think of my Team progeny wish of rock +adelheid and I forgot Duo Lon counts since he's a good son of a very bad guy with Ron bein around.
Also really like the concept of Heidern , Oswald, and Lin as a team of veteran assassins. Thats pretty awesome.
The idea of that team and the progeny team both bein aroundnwould make me think Ron HAS to show up as a boss if they did it. Lin and duo lon both returning? Thats just too much beef with the head of the assassin family not too.
Really really hope to see some of these dreams come true. So many unfinished stories primed to culminate now that verse dying freed souls within him and let loose all potential players to power struggle to keep the reins in their hands.
Betting we see Igniz, Rugal or krizalid again soon since all were in verse.

I actually would like Rose more than Adelheid but her princess theme could be a monkey pawn wish.
question:
Do you all think they will reference SNK Heroines?

not a direct SNK Heroines ref, but we might get a World Heroes team if they're feeling crazy
I think we all want to forget about SNK Heroines.

All I want is proper Ralf back not that butchered roid head we got in 13 etc. Oh and bring back the '98 Umanori Vulcan Punch.
I picked up Ralf and Clark in 13 and I actually love the Falcoonish Chunky design lol.
13 actually made me love playing as ralf lol.
That's Nona's designs, not Falcoon's.
I have some criticism about some KOF XIII characters, but I loved that every character has their own body type
I really like this piece about it ;-)

No fighting game is complete without great characters. If all we cared about was gameplay we’d probably be happy just playing endless…

I really like the 13 art style but the changes to Ralf and in particular his moveset irked me. I REALLY loved his 98 max supers.
Does anyone know when the next trailer drops?

New trailer every wednesday at 6 pm pacific if I'm not mistaken
Can we finally get Kushnood Butt, Gato and Kevin Rian as a Garou team?
Hopefully!
Wonder if Iori is getting another redesign/refresh.
Can see them at least bringing the moon back into the design.
Kinda think that the less Garou characters are in XV the higher the chances of MOTW2 being planned.
Dunno. Wouldn't that possibly strengthen people's desire for a Motw 2? Not sure the crowd who would buy Motw2 would choose not to because they could get the same experience from a Kof game...
