If you've seen the KOF2002 Images(illustrations) from The Magic Box, be warned that they aren't official releases for KOF2002.

Two of the images are from the KOF2001 guidebook, one of which is a collection of characters that got cut out in the prelimilary stages of development since they didn't look like they'd fit in the game. The third illust of Sho, I'm not sure where it's from.

I'm not saying that they won't be in KOF2002 (I have personal doubts, of course). But what I'm saying is that, if you thought of them as official illusts being released for the upcoming game, you've been strongly misleaded by the article.

I'm not exactly sure of what Tang's been thinking as he wrote the article, but attempting to back up an unconfirmed info in such a misguiding manner is quite dangerous, IMO.

It is highly ilogical to believe any info would leak out of a company at this point of the year; I bet my left eye that they are only planning the game by this time.

If they are continuing to heed such intrustful info there it would be no other choice for me and DADDY WILL MAKE THEM PAY!!!

It has to be BS, because he's listed the AoF team and Mai Shiranui as removed completely... (!)

About the images, maybe they were sent to him, and he doesn't know where they came from?

Or this could be an early April Fool's joke...

Mai Shiranui is only removed because Magic Box has Blue Mary on both the Gal Team and the Fatal Fury team... I like Blue as much as the next guy, but does she really need to be on TWO teams?

I assume AoF is removed because the rumorer forgot to mention them

well as I see SNK I have two laws for them:
1-don't belive thier offical statments (they said KOF2001 is the last MVS game and now they are still making games on it)
so my point it Offical= false.
2-if you heared a rumor, that's 90% to be true. so rumors= true!

that's me experince with SNK.
I know alot will dissagree but sorry that I think.

one of the things that realy schoked me
and I didn't see anyone talking about it
is in MagicBox they say Art of fighting team are removed?( we might except this! I know I won't but we might!)
and the shocking thing he said they will remove Mai! that's unexceptable.
a KOF with no Mai, that's changing
and I like changing because it might be good( changing might be bad too) so taking sucha risk is cool.

As I said before, Blue Mary is listed twice... on the Gal Team and the Fatal Fury Team.... one of those is suppost to be Mai's slot (in the orginal rumor anyway, Tang might be reading a different one that list Blue Mary and "Blue Mary EX" or something)

so if Blue's on the Gal team, Mai's on the FF team. If Blue's FF, Mai's Gal.. that simple!

who me?!?!?!?!?
well I want them either make something new (redraw her) or remove her, it is kinda not right but changes some times might be good.
when the removed Kyo and Iori from KoF99 is was a awsome idea? one of the smartest ever!
they wanted the people to chose K and they did (becuase there is no Kyo nor Iori) so after the get used to the game, after 3 weeks (I think) Iori and Kyo became unlocked without a code.
now they give you to chose who you really liked!
my point is changing might be smart idea , some times it is not.

A blatant and extraneous change would alienate a lot of players, especially considering Mai is popular.. but I think that was a typo, anyway.

I find it EXTRMELY unlikely to have the ENTIRE AoF team gone and Mai...given the fact that they are going to delete 5 popular characers. And on top of that include Syo? WTF!? How is that going to work!?!?!? Syo=Kyo only people with Hassaku or Kusanagi blood are able to have crimson flames...are they simply going to put something stupid like they are distant cousins? What about the Kim son's? I find it to be pretty farfecthed to see them in the game...where is Rock? I do however see more Hizoku clan members and some more NESTS guys but that's about it...I don't see Mai leaving nor the AoF cast NOR to I see Syo in this game.

Question...WHY IN THE HELL IS CHIZURU there? Is Orochi coming back? Is the power of Lin's master that of Orochi? If they link the Orochi and NESTS stories together then my theory long ago was correct....

That isn't really applicable since Ralf and Mai have crimson flames too.

Just for the Record, it is my understanding that the Hassaku (or as it may) only use purple flames because these are the color of "evil flames"

It's "Hakkeshu" Blood ! LOL
Hakkeshu is man of Orochi ! and yes, it's only purple flames.
Kusanagi Blood have the crimson flames !
and only crimson !
And all the clones as 4x9 or K' have the K (kusanagi) genes, that's why they have the crimson flames.

Wow...nitpicking central...

Okay however it's spelled Hassaku/Hakkeshu Yagami's ancestors originally had crimson flames and they still have the ability to use them however the orochi blood pact made it purple as well. The K series(most of them at least) STILL technically has Kusanagi blood given the fact that NESTS used Gene replacement/therapy as well as cloning(coolest idea ever by an evil organization)

Either way Syo is the SNK prototype for Kyo. It makes absolutely no sense to have him in the game as an actual character. Even if they do put him in the ONLY way they would be able to make sense out of it is make Syo a distant cousin...even then are there MORE Orochi sevants? Where the hell was Syo in 97? Does he have a rival like Iori? Eolith will screw up the story if they add in all of these would-be characters.

is KOF2002 is a dream match?
or is it continueing the story of 2K1 ?
if so how is Kim son's are with young terry?
or maybe they will make terry and everyone else older?
I think I heared in the time KOF2001 was released that the next (KOF2002) gona be totly new, they will redraw every charactar and they will use anew board.
well as I know that's won't happend Eiloth is keeping SNK stratgy (working on the dead board)

Of course if Syo's a real character they can BS a lot of excuse to his flames.... like:
-he's a cousin
-he's like Billy, Mai, and Ralph and only uses flames in rare cases so it doesn't really count.
-his flames could be orange or yellow or something
-Syo could always be an escaped Kyo-gene experiment or something whose gone to Saisho to learn to control his new found powers...

Dude u guys nitpick about the story too much. When kof was first invented, Some genuises from SNK are like hey why dont we make a fighting game that puts all the best fighters from all of our series into one game.

We can b.s. about a story later.

Im personally hoping they will put Rekka from last blade in sometime.

Actually there is a storyline that isn't BS, though considering they changed the time in which AoF took place there's no reason Rekka can't be in, so long as he was born in the 70's

Actually, SNK said that would be their last game on the MVS (and it is, before the company shut down), but not necessarily THE last game for the MVS.
