Been playing fighting games for months now, what the fuck did they do with KOF14? You were right tictac, KOF13 had a much better system. You could do so much creative shit with combos and chaining special moves together with cancels. With KOF14 you can only do that shit in Max Mode with EX moves, other than that combos are like the old days in the 90s. The only improvement is that EX moves don't take up a whole meter anymore, but all they needed to do was implement that with KOF13's system and it would have been fine. In 13 it gave you an incentive to use light specials since sometimes they chained better for different combos or were better for extending a combo. The only issue I had with 13 is that sometimes the timing was ultra strict, I would have loosened it up ever so slightly so you could perform combos easier outside of practice mode.
EDIT: I'm still fucking mad. Look at tournament footage of KOF 14 vs 13 at Evo 2016:
Look how much better 13 is and how boring 14 is to watch. The only problem is Iori being broken with that fucking infinite, that shit is Injustice Trident Rush tier garbage but once he dies it's fun to watch.
