KOF XV - ÁNGEL Reveal Trailer
- Thread starter Kyora90
- Start date
While I never liked her outfit, her face is perfect in this. Glad she didn't get the short straw on the face modeling like Whip and King.
Not sure if this is what Dice meant, but there's not a lot of variety in the shapes of the characters. They could all be the same character wearing different clothes and wigs.
I'm talking specifically about the women characters, and it's not an issue specific to KOF. It's a problem with a bunch of fighting games. But among the women roster, there's almost no variation in shape and size of the characters.
And when there IS variation, it's to give us someone like Sylvie...
Those are some interesting pants lol. Haven't seen those before.
Lip syncing could be improved though.

I can't fully agree in this case, the faces in KOFXV are pretty varied per character for both guys and ladies, enough that even though body types could be more varied (hopefully not like Shermie though, they made her proportions kinda nuts), each one looks different at least to me. Otherwise we wouldn't have the scenario where some faces look normal (Angel, Shermie, Athena, Leona and so on) and some look odd or off model from the character (Whip and King mostly).
Now you want an example of what I consider samey, DOA5 and 6 are those games. Swap the hair and eye color on most of the women in that game and they'd look almost exactly like the character whose hair they stole, with a couple of exceptions like Marie and Rachel.
cause it's team Ikari Warriors stage who have actually been playable characters in some metal slug games

Not quite, they did give her design a little update for XIV, mainly they added some details. She got the ornaments on her chaps, she unzipped her jacket and her boots got more elaborate leggings added.
I love her design but I would've rather kept Team Mexico intact (I hate GAW as a concept and Antonov's redesign, he was so much cooler in XIV) and go full luchadora with her. Maybe update her moveset and use one of the scrapped DLC costumes they designed for XIV. I'm especially fond of the Tizoc 2 one.
Fuck yeah! We don't have enough Mexican women represented in games in general, let alone fighting games. When we get a spot in a Fighter it's always a dude. Ángel rocks!
Anyway, they give her that name because it's the name of Ángel's original designer.
Edit: Already answered. Thanks Mauricio_Magus!
Good to know!
At least the pronunciation was on point, that's nice.
I know a lot of people love her design, but for me, it's a missed opportunity to update her with a more "elegant" design and still maintain some wild designs.
"Nya" ? I don't remember her saying that in the older games.
BTW, I don't really like the new Voice Actors, or rather I prefer the old VA. I think the first time I noticed that is when I heard Kula's new voice: originally, she sounded sleepy, but now she's entirely different.

Kula's VA never changed from Yumi Kakazu (voice direction eventually did, though).
Is that so? I have to praise her then because I really thought it was someone else. Maybe, the sound quality is in cause too. And her age of course. Or maybe, that's just me...
Somehow hearing that she was designed by a man does not come as a huge surprise to me.
Shes had the nyas since 2001 i recall but it seems direction has more enunciation on it now. I recall it being one her quirks.
From what I've seen (I just searched it on YT), the "nyaa" were introduced in 2002 and because I've almost never played that game, that must be why they surprised me in the reveal video. And I also found out that she had 3 different VA (2001: Miina Tominaga, 2002: Mayumi Shintani and beyond: Miki Ogura). Personally, I prefer the one who played her in 2001, Miina Tominaga.
Yeah, SNK does that. You remember Adelheid Bernstein, the tall musclebound lad, son of Rugal from Kof 2003 and XI? In German Adelheid is a woman's name, which is pretty much so outdated that it's associated only with women in their 60s and upwards.

Strong confident woman right there 😏😼
Geez México got enough love in 2021 spread it around please (never liked angel)
but if it means the leak with maxima is true then I can accept it

Her design is embarrassing. If at least this kind of stuff was confined to optional fanservice, which I know some appreciate, it would be heaps more tolerable.

Not when I'm playing my online fighting game and I have to see this shit pop up. Or even locals when some dude decides to choose a trashy costume. FGC has no shame.
If the defaults were tame and an option to not display alt skins on your end existed, that'd help with the online. Locals... different story
Lots of missed opportunities in KOFXV as far as updating character designs go to be honest, it's too bad SNK decided to stick really closely to KOF14.
I like this alternate costume from Falcoon's old concept art
Not very practical considering half of her moves are a variation of leg splits
I mean it's not a tight skirt so they could make it work. Or they could make it a split skirt or a wraparound skirt.
it could work, it would be a lot harder to animate with proper physics and without clipping
