Akuma’s Nostalgia costume can be altered at the selection screen.

Looks like Street Fighter V “Nostalgia” premium costumes will share the input-code Easter eggs of the Swimsuit, Capcom Pro Tour, and Halloween lines, not to mention Urien; as seen at the PlayStation Experience, Akuma can shrug off the gi top of his classic costume and go shirtless with the application of a button code at selection.

It is unconfirmed if the code is the same as for the other recent costume sets (LP+MP+HP+LK and hold UP on the joystick), or if it’s a different input, but as all costume codes are the same except for Urien’s (LP+MK+HK), it’s most likely the same as the others. You can see the modified outfit in-game in the footage below.

Akuma will join the Street Fighter V roster officially on December 20th, along with other new content.

Thanks to Joris for the tip.

In today’s age of the internet and patches, people have come to expect that developers will try to fix the balance of their games any chance that they get. So when it was announced that The King of Fighters XIV was getting a graphical update patch this January, some people also assumed that it would be getting balance changes alongside it.

It seems however that that won’t be the case. In a recent tweet, SNK’s Hidetoshi “Neo_G” Ishizawa confirmed that the upcoming version 1.10 patch for The King of Fighters XIV will not include any balance updates. In the tweet, which you can see below, Neo_G states that the focus of the patch is on the graphical updates and as such, they didn’t look into further tweaking the game’s balance.

ちなみに、今回のKOF14のVer.1.10のパッチについては、グラフィック強化や機能更新・改善が中心ですので、キャラ調整などゲームバランスに関わる内容は特に変更ありませんのでご留意ください。

ということで、個人的にやりたかった機能変更もできたので、皆さんお楽しみに！！

This should be good news for players who had to adapt to the massive balance changes brought about by the version 1.03 patch. With no balance update forthcoming, players can continue to play the game without having to consider if their favorite fighters have undergone substantial tweaks or changes.
