I am still calling BS on this until Eolith actually posts something on their website to confirm it. It's word-for-word the same exact thing as a post on neo-geo.com, which is probably where it was obtained from.

They really should post that right on the site. : |

Although I DO doubt the validity of this " news " , I could see young versions of Kim's sons being in it. Bao and Chris aren't especially old. That's assuming they actually care if the timeline makes sense, or not.

All those sketches are from the strategy guide, I beleive. That may explain why the "Mu" team was called the "Botsu" team in the first rumor (Botsu means "cut" as in cut from the game, so some uninformed person might have seen, "Botsu" and assumed it was a name). Plus, when the info says in black and white that Diana is Kula's mother, well, that's not very accurate info... (Diana is kula's higher officer, and her guardian, but does not fit in the word "mother".

And if this is true......I have lost all interest in KOF (not that I haven't been already, these past few KOFs...)

I refuse to belive that. Because bao is still in the roster. NO ONE LIKES BAO.

Do not be foolis, my friends; is not a thing of hate, Bao has still not fullfiled his purpose on the storyline; wich where related to the Yasakan-Orochi thing; so expect to see him until that thing is finish; and ever after (Kyo & Iori did not faded away, did them???)

For my experience; one site that we must thrust the most in the news is this one.

No question, this is all BS. The Kim kids are not old enough. Xiangfei and Billy on the same team doesn't make sense. At least, to me, it doesn't.

Need I remind you again, I like Bao, so at least one person does. He's so annoying to other people that he makes it incredibly fun to win with him.



I like Bao too, so you are not alone. Tough he is weakened in KOF 2k1.

I'm glad someone else likes him. He's not my fav, but I still don't hate him. The only thing I don't like is that Kensou lost his powers because of Bao (don't know if he got them back after 99 or not, haven't played 00 or 01).

Unlike what my words seem to have stated I do not hate the kid; but I fail to understand him; he is male or female depending on what version you play the Machine (US or Spanish) and He also calls Kensou "Brother", but that is only on '99... but that is understandable because he/she lives with Chin.
