SNK is still supporting King of Fighters XIV despite its non-appearance at EVO this year, and I couldn't be happier. Next up on the docket is Najd, a fan-created character that is going to be added in April as DLC.
Her official description describes her deal pretty well: "Najd is a very quiet person dressed with an Abaya (traditional Saudi garment) with extraordinary powers. At night, she puts on her Abaya and turns into a vigilante to protect her fellow citizens. In contrast to her mysterious appearance, she is a college student during the day." I want to play her first, but based on her backstory alone I hope she continues to be a part of the series!
I know people are still down on King of Fighters XIV's visuals, but I'm really into Najd's shadow effects -- they're a little reminiscent of Zato-1 from Guilty Gear, but with its own unique flair.
