I got to play it today actually. Got the news from my co-worker, then left for the arcades right after work.
Here's what I think about the game.
The timer's really fast, I know that this is the owner's setting but I guess that's Hong Kong styled KOF for ya. It's like, you might even not have the time to fool with new characters. That's a gripe about the arcade, not the game. The only thing I learnt is the judgement thingy for time outs, it works okay so far since I got so many time overs. Basically every time you hit somebody, the judgement thingy tilts your way a little.
The game is very fluid, looks great even though a little too bland. There's some loading time, I think less than NGBC.
Umm I can't listen to the music well. I don't even recall Kyo saying character specific stuff when he's fighting against Iori.
The first mid boss is Adel normally, you fight him after beating 3 teams. You see, I said normally because for some condition, I get to fight Gai from Buriki One. I'm not sure how I got him since I was using Kyo's original team, but I did do like 2 LDM final KOs (the ones which ends the match) so maybe that's the trigger. I was sorta overwhelmed and I got Chiyowned by him. I didn't fight anybody else as the first midboss. After you beat the first midboss, you will see a cutscene which will prolly make you snowblind.
Rolls are slower than before. Maybe even slower than what I remember in 2k3. The game isn't too fast paced as well. The controls are pretty responsive.
I'm still figuring out how the Saving Shift and the other Shift works, but I only managed to do a Guard Shift once, while some poor guy accidentally did the attack Shift thingy (switching chars during combos) while his Iori's doing the Maiden Masher. Looks like the attack shift thingy needs practice.
I got to the second mid-boss, it's a girl who can make a spear out of nowhere, somehow. That's after you beat 3 more teams after Adel/Gai. She starts off with a spear, then somehow she can hide the whole thing, and make it reappear in some attacks. So basically she has two stances, sort of. She's not too hard. I forgot her name though.
Then after that you get to fight some boss which looks even gheyer than Ash although he's wearing a suit. Maybe that's because it's how he looks or something. Nona's doing all the cutscenes. You must see this cutscene, this dude first shows his hand from a portal thingy, grabs the girls head and err...sucks it into the portal. It's really wtfish. And at the end of this cutscene he sorta has this crazy look which may freak you out.
This boss is uber cheap because he has like 2 thousand fireballs that comes in all directions. I mean, he even has an overhead fireball. You MUST time it really well in order to get close and start comboing him. I never beat him, I thought I can beat him halfway but then he just sorta beats my team just by doing the same things over and over again. He got this super like Orochi's fullscreen super, but in a sorta psychadelic way, the background is all purplish and pink when he does it.
