Oh man, this game is close. Charlotte was my main and I'm planning to use her again

Still not a fan of her slightly-more-fan-service-y design, but she looks more badass than ever otherwise!

Why is she wearing frilly stockings? Come on, Charlotte, you're better than this.

I still love her but I wish they didn't sexy her up. Her original design was awesome. This, not so much.

Otherwise she looks just as good gameplay wise.

Really wish they hadn't fucked with the design. Sounds like a new voice actress too, figured that would be the case but disappointing nonetheless.

It's a pretty cute design. Definitely much more suitable to modern 3D presentation than the awkward and lumpy less feminine silhouette of her earlier incarnations.

Full, practical armor is way more cute/cool.

But by fighting game standards, the one in the trailer seems decently tame to me. Not crazy for the design, but I kinda like it.

Does anyone have any videos of high level gameplay? I want to see what this game is really about.

Not much to say as there has been plenty of gameplay of her already. Still like her new design

The shoulder pads could be a bit smaller, yeah they were always big but don't think they work that well with the new design.

The heels bug me way more. I can't take my eyes off the heels.

It's alright. I prefer the older design, giant armor and all. More importantly.. the game is looking really fun.

It's a massive downgrade from her classic design, but honestly it's still not completely terrible. She looks much better than Belt Enthusiast Pirate Elena or Chinese Titty Intellectual.

Ugh, SNK has had some PHENOMENAL androgynous/non-gender-traditional character designs. King, Vanessa, Amakusa, etc. Charlotte and her fucking oversized armor was such an interesting design in flirting with that line.

Now she looks like a generic anime bait. Kinda sad.

Waifuizing is one consistent thing with current SNK. Charlotte isn't the first to get it- Vanessa got it in KOFXIV.

SNK cares more about the Chinese market than the Western market.

As a woman, who the hell wants to fight or do anything athletic in high heels? Let alone deadly sword combat.

Relatively tame compared to other fighting game designs, but that doesn't keep it from looking like a sexy knight costume from Party City

If they made Charlotte look like that then her design would clash with Jeanne from World Heroes/SNK Heroines:

?

You do realize that KOFXIV was censored in China, right?

SamSho is basically footsies, the game. Very high risk high reward. Very low on combos, very high on big damage normals.

If you want to watch some good play then check this vid out posted by SABCA in the other thread. SNK gave the demo build to an arcade with actual SamSho players:

I never saw Charloette as androgynous as a lot of people are saying in this thread.

Looks pretty feminine to me. The redesign is pretty busy though, not a fan.
