Lack of video footage and Kukri's bizzare personality
As expected with most exhibit events in Japan, visitors rarely took video footage as mannerism.

However, one of the players took a clip of the new character Kukri, which showed that his personality is quite wonky in comparison to his sinister look. Not only is his victory pose very bizzare, but if you listen closely you can hear him saying "The Sand of Musi...c!"

Developers at demo exhibit and Cosplaying
As expected given that the event was taking place in the hometown of SNK, a number of developers were at scene Including SNK programmer Jim Bulmer, and also ex-Capcom SFIII:3rdStrike director Neo-G who joined the company early this year and has been involved in adding character move adjustments in KOFXIV to make them more interesting.

The events also had some cosplayers that lightened up the atmosphere.
