KoFXIV/XV with Shun'ei

and Ash. Hell I'd throw K' in there too that fucking tryhard.

Any male protagonist games when female is more and more playable throughout the time.

I don't play female characters because I'm not gay

Jin was kinda successful, he only went bad when he started World War 3 just to fight an Egyptian crystal monster. Lars is the one that's bad, because literally everyone has forgotten about him.

This, he looks like an Atlus character.

Kai fucking sucks and Kof with an ever shifting main character would be refreshing as fuck.

KOF should go the realistic route with it's artstyle like how SF6 is doing. Would be even more refreshing and would compliment how the characters would look realistic based on Shinkiro's art.

He was only ever somewhat decent in 3 & 4 and then the story took a complete nosedive by T5. Tekken literally became bad before Lars was even in the equation.

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

K was fine. It was pretty funny he forgave and teamed up with an assassin who tried to murder a teammate because it was Shingo and they both agreed he was annoying.
The K and Maxima dynamic works really well.

This is retarded and what every major game does nowadays.
>Would be even more refreshing and would compliment how the characters would look realistic based on Shinkiro's art.
You have no idea what you're talking about. They wouldn't look like George Clooney. They would all look like ugly gooks dressed up as anime characters. It would be an artistic disaster to turn another anime franchise into overly realistic dogshit. Go play Resident Evil or modern Final Fantasy if you want that shit.

KoF15 already looks like shit. You're coping.

Geese in Tekken 7 looks great though. Same with Akuma.

SF6 is high fidelity not realistic, the characters are still stylized

Does it count if the series had maybe one or two designated protags? Because this fuckboy was the first character I could think of that fit the bill.

You're blind. I'll take what their doing now than anything they plan on doing with SF6 where Luke looks like an ugly shit grinning eceleb.

I'd argue it took a nosedive in 6 with the WW3 plot, but then I remembered they made Paul a joke again.

Son of a bitch you beat me to it.

Luke looks like fucking shit in SF5 though

exactly. Modern Street Fighter is way uglier than what KOF does therefore they should just continue to do their own thing instead of trying to copy the ugly shit what other games do.

What a fanboy you are

What's wrong with Luke? Are you pretending he looks bad or something?

You're comparing an in-game model of a low budget game to a CGI cutscene to an upcoming major Capcom release. Check your priorities, bias retard.

>Are you pretending he looks bad or something?
Yeah okay contrarian. Lets pretend for a minute that you're opinions are valid and that the rest of the world didn't complete shit on how ugly Luke looked in that trailer.

I hate Capcom fanboys

I'm comparing in-game models of two 2022 games
>low budget game
Muh bankrupt company after he talks shit about every other game
>CGI cutscene
THIS IS MY LAST COPE

It's ok if you like how Kof15 looks just don't pretend it looks good or better than SF6, do I have to post other Kof15 competitors and how they all absolutely mog the game?

they're not even honest
