"KOF2002...leaked info?" , posted Thu 18 Apr 08:45post reply


Taken from a post in Gamefaqs...

This year game will contain a total of 52 characters (13 teams of 4). 7 characters will make their first appearance and 9 will make a comeback on the KOF scene. 3 characters were take out : Takuma Sakazaki, Chin Gensai and Hinako Shinjo.

Also, it seems that the striker system will be the same has the one in 2K1. Finally, this chapter will put an end to the NESTS/Psychic Dragon Power saga. If a new KOF is made in 2003, it will probably be a Dream Match with the most popular characters in the entire series.

The release of KOF 2K2 will probably be in September, after some beta testing around the end of August in Japan (certainly to the Neogeo-Land).

ROSTER
The New Hero Team : K’, Maxima, Whip and Kula.
The Osaka Team : Kyo, Benimaru, Goro and Moe Habana.
The Iori Team : Iori, Seth, Vanessa and Ramon.
The Fatal Fury Team : Terry, Andy, Joe and Alfred.
The Art of Fighting Team : Ryo, Robert, King and Yuri.
The Military Team : Leona, Ralf, Clark and Heidern.
The All Womens Team : Mai, Blue Mary, Li Xiang Fei and Kasumi Todo.
The Psycho Soldiers Team : Sie Kensou, Athena, Bao and Lin.
The New International Team : May Lee, Duke Edwards, Kang Baedal and Gai Tendou.
The Old Korean Team : Kim, Chang, Choi and Jhun Hoon.
The New Saisyu Team : Saisyu Kusanagi, Shingo, Shizuru Kagura and Sho Kirishima.
The Vengeful Team : Mr.Big, Billy Kane, Ryuji Yamazaki and Eiji Kisaragi.
The NESTS Team : K9999, Angel, Krizalid Prime and Misty.

Mid-Boss(es) : This year mid-boss(es) will be the NESTS Team. According to the story, if you’re playing with this team, your opponents will be considered as super clones of yourself.

Boss : The Final Boss is Long, with the help of 3 strikers : Sai, Ran and Chitto (the 3 others Hizoku members brainwashed by Long). When call, Sai jumps near the opponent and she does a move similar to Chris' Hunting Air; Ran appears near your character and he does a move similar to Omega Rugal's Vanishing Rush, and Chitto jumps near the opponent and does a Bear Hug.


Sounds pretty legit...though I thought 2K1 was the end of the NESTS story...

Sound unbelievable...even more unbelievable than the 60 characters rumour earlier on...

1. Lin in Psycho Soldier team?
2. What is the International team doing in KOF? Seems unrelated...and created for the sake of May-Lee?
3. Vengeful team? Eh how did they manage to resolve their conflicts and come together?

Then again nothing is impossible in KOF...

LOL !!!
I prefer the previous rumors that I've posted !
Pfff ! It's impossible that they kick out Takuma because a lot people play with him !

P.S. : Who is Duke Edwards ? (it's that fucking striker of ryo in 2k ? )

Yeah. Chances are, I might not look at this either. KoF 2001 was a big let down for me. After I did beat 2001, I promised myself that I wouldn't play it again, and chances are that I won't play the next one either.

Even though I haven't played KOF 2001, I've gotta say that the series has never disappointed me and I think that Eolith deserve respect for listening to what their fans want, unlike Capcom who repeatedly shove regurgitated crap down our throats. I do like many Capcom games (especially Vampire Savior and SF3) but they all pale in comparison to the might of KOF, which is in my opinion the best 2D fighting game series in existence.

Excuse me, but regurgitated crap is exactly what SNK has been serving you for the passed few years. Kof hasnt been original for the passed 3 years, and many could argue longer. At the momment SNK isnt any better then Capcom and you know it. Dont let your love for the company decieve you, this hasnt been a good year for SNK games. SNK has given us very few signs that it wants to grow as a company.

.. ... .... ... [ insert your own criticism/arguement here]
(I don't have enough time to bother right now; and I see y'all already have done it)

can you direct me to where in gamefaqs this thread is? URL please?

Jazzie D: congradulations you've broken the addiction.(serious) I'm still playing KoF...
funny icon.

Kamui: I basically agree about SNK being no better than Capcom now. For most of the 90's SNK was better. Then apparently relating to their business problems (hopefully) the games got more blah. It is hoped that Playmore means the end of the business problems and that enough of the original SNK tallent can be reassembled to make a really good SNK game... This might even mean 2003 after Eolith is no longer used, although I know Brezza works with them. Also hope Eolith makes 2002 better than 2001.

Why the Hell is Moe showing up on all these rumor list? and why would she bump off Shingo? Didn't she bump off Goro EX:Neo Blood?


quote:
The Iori Team : Iori, Seth, Vanessa and Ramon.

Has Iori ever kept the same team more then one year in a row (98 doesn't count) No, because aside from his murderous rage his clothes stink from their now 7 years of never being changed.

quote:
The Fatal Fury Team : Terry, Andy, Joe and Alfred.

This looks like good evidence it's fake: Alfred. I could believe Mai and Mary switching places on the team as both share similar popularity ratings, but aside from the few people who have played RB2, who the hell likes Alfred? I mean serious excluding Striker form he's in like 1.5 games. Hell Xiangfei is more popular then he is.

quote:
The Art of Fighting Team : Ryo, Robert, King and Yuri.

If there ever was a God this team would be real... Takuma needs to take a break, a nice nap, you know he's just getting older and older... he should be planning on ways to get Ryo to knock up King, not fighting...

quote:
The Military Team : Leona, Ralf, Clark and Heidern.

Makes sense

quote:
The All Womens Team : Mai, Blue Mary, Li Xiang Fei and Kasumi Todo.

If this is real, poor Mary... I mean in 2k Mai bitched and moaned to Yuri non-stop about being booted for Mary on Andy's team. Now Mary will never hear the end of loosing her spot, which was okay since at least one of them got to be with a Bogard, to a 13 year old boy...

As long as the terms "Psycho" and "Soldiers" are even in a KoF game I hate it... Athena I hate you! Kensou, because you like Athena I hate you more!

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! but if Eiolith wants to save time and effort take a page from Capcom's book: Make Chang and Choi one character... then the team can be Kim, Chang/Choi, Jhun, AND May Lee. Not only is that a great way to include everyone without retarded strikers, but it makes the Korean team 57% more bad ass.

I can believe there will be a new NESTS team, I can believe K9999 and Angel will return... but I don't believe there are an "Orginal Zero" AND a "Krizalis Prime", how many clones did those people make?

Dude, I don't believe this, but I swear, if neither Mai or Mary were on the Fatal Fury team, then that would suck! I would one year actually like to see Terry, Andy, Mary, and Mai with Joe getting his own team. That'd be cool (many would disagree with me, and I do like Joe, don't get me wrong, which is why I'd want him to have his own team...besides, it'd be a good way to inflate his ego. ). Anyway, since that will never happen, I know either Mary or Mai will be on the Fatal Fury team (Mary I hope). That Art of Fighting team looks nice though, I always wanted it to be Ryo, Robert, Yuri, and King. I always thought that'd be cool. I wonder what the ACTUAL teams will be? Maybe that Art of Fighting team will come through.....it would be nice to see that vengeful team and that was a good idea on the Korean team, Dr. Baghead.

'95 ending: beats up his team. '96 ending: beats up his team. '97: no team. I read on the interent an opinion that noone wanted to team up with him because they knew he would beat up team, and I agree. '98 doesn't count. '99: hidden no team. 2000: no team. 2001: gets Seth from Benimaru team and half of K' team. Who the hell do Seth and Vannessa work for anyway.

haha. more than Disney's Hercules? that's alot. Lin makes no sense unless its because he's from China and the Psycho Soldiers were supposed to be China's team.

Team No One Gives Half A F**k About,
May Lee And Some Retarded Strikers Team


"preproduction team" haha. I was gonna say Dork Team. sense May is in the team and its abunch of 1&1/2 games characters. If Gai entered I'd want "Buriko Team" or however it's spelled. that would be much better. Even if you like Duke, that's just out of no where. Kang needs to be on Korea team...

quote:
The Old Korean Team : Kim, Chang, Choi and Jhun Hoon.
YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! but if Eiolith wants to save time and effort take a page from Capcom's book: Make Chang and Choi one character... then the team can be Kim, Chang/Choi, Jhun, AND May Lee. Not only is that a great way to include everyone without retarded strikers, but it makes the Korean team 57% more bad ass.


I actuall wouldn't care at this point if they coppied Capcom sense they've done it so much already.

Ultimate Korea Team: Kim Kaphwan, Kang Bae Dal, Jhun Hoon, Kim Sue Il. This idea is so bad ass (to me atleast). The ass kicking would never end.

quote:
The New Saisyu Team : Saisyu Kusanagi, Shingo, Shizuru Kagura and Sho Kirishima.
Was there even an "Old" Saisyu team?


only the old man team in '98. I read that when Takuma beats Heidern in 2001, he say If we get a chance let's team up again. Again? '98 was dream match damnit.

I'm for Saisyu coming back but I don't like the way the rumors do it, the team set up I mean...

quote:
The Vengeful Team : Mr.Big, Billy Kane, Ryuji Yamazaki and Eiji Kisaragi.
Most bad ass team EVER, which is all the more proof this is fake.


yeah cool combination. But story wise makes no sense. Ryuji didn't get payed by Geese in '97 ending and attacks him in his office. They'd have to kiss and make up for him to want to team up with Billy. Mr. Big tried to kill Geese in '96 ending and Billy blocked the bullet with his cane. Why would Geese's #1 man team with him? Eiji though- could make up reasons for him to join.

quote:
The NESTS Team : K9999, Angel, Krizalid Prime and Misty.
I can believe there will be a new NESTS team, I can believe K9999 and Angel will return... but I don't believe there are an "Orginal Zero" AND a "Krizalis Prime", how many clones did those people make?


clones in a story are about as bad as time travel. They seem to always lead to story mess ups.
In NESTS team ending, they are repeadedly called guiney pigs by the boss who wants them to sacrafice their bodies to him. So there's absolutely no reason for K9999 and Angel to team with loveable Igniz's woman. Also no reason for them to team with Krizalid who stikered them on the ... the... rocket blimp. Actually I don't care that much that it was a rocket blimp, I just remember that it was funny reading that the beta testers laughed at it.

quote:
Mid-Boss(es) : This year mid-boss(es) will be the NESTS Team. According to the story, if you’re playing with this team, your opponents will be considered as super clones of yourself.
YAAAAAAAWWWWWWN!!!!!!


Super clones? ahkk!

quote:
Boss : The Final Boss is Long, with the help of 3 strikers : Sai, Ran and Chitto (the 3 others Hizoku members brainwashed by Long). When call, Sai jumps near the opponent and she does a move similar to Chris' Hunting Air; Ran appears near your character and he does a move similar to Omega Rugal's Vanishing Rush, and Chitto jumps near the opponent and does a Bear Hug.
And when Long is dead that's it for NESTS right? RIGHT?! Oh please God say that's the end of NEST and we can move on to something better... like an excuse to bring the Orochis back



Are the 3 strikers the guys that appear when Lin wins?

conclusion
I still think it's odd that a gamefaqs bbs poster is going to have insider information on this, and no given source. Even if it's true it's not worth assuming that it is until its verified, like in the way some sports plays are strategically stupid even if they work.
Either way I don't believe it. And yes it just looks like a new version of the old rumor.

If Hinako gets booted off KOF2k2, I'll cry! Kick Xiang Fei or Kasumi before kicking her off the girl's team. I rarely find grapplers that fun to play with, but I find Hinako amusing and fun.

Chang and Choi as one member, like how CvSNK2 had them, would be excellent. I've always really liked Kim and Jhun, but I've never played with just the Korean team because of Chang and Choi...

If Gai entered I'd want "Buriko Team" or however it's spelled. blah blah blah i liked frosted flakes!that would be much better. Even if you like Duke, that's just out of no where. Kang needs to be on Korea team...

The Old Korean Team : Kim, Chang, Choi and Jhun Hoon.
YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! but if Eiolith wants to save time and effort take a page from Capcom's book: Make Chang and Choi one character... then the team can be Kim, Chang/Choi, Jhun, AND May Lee. Not only is

Now there's a good joke.

Either way, I find myself leaving KOF more and more every year. I probably won't even look at 2002, after how boring 2001 was for me...


Yeah. Chances are, I might not look at this either. KoF 2001 was a big let down for me. After I did beat 2001, I promised myself that I wouldn't play it again, and chances are that I won't play the next one either.



Kof 2k1 was just awful with boring characters and no more excitement left since the early days' before 99. It was a big let down for me also.

But I'm glad,if this is true,that Eolith listen to their fans and have the brought the man of SNK,Billy Kane,BACK!! Mr.Big will definitley be one of my first played,as well as Eiji and Misty.

I hate rumors,but I hope this is true. And hope they don't use the stupid Southtown as base for the stages in KOF(like in 2k).

Why would seth, Vanessa, and Ramon team up with Iori when he punks them out at the end of 2k1. That'd make no sense at all...(Heck Iori being on a team makes no sense...Don't people know by know that Iori doesn't play well with others.

It's more believable, but coming from GameFAQs just killed it for me before I even read it. Sometimes there's good info running around there but the other 99.9% of it is a bunch of posers posting info they wish was real. Eolith has not finalized the roster yet so there's not a chance in hell it would show up this soon.

After reading so many posts about what characters people like, there's some massive clashes in opinions, and so surely it must be difficult to keep so many individuals happy. The Neo-Geo is possibly the longest running games console (correct me if I'm wrong) and considering its age, it's amazing what SNK can make it do. I think what it needs, though, is more innovation as well as great improvements on old sereis. Capcom, though, just keep releasing the same game over and over till it's milked dry. SNK are also guilty of this, but at least they're trying to improve them.





Y'know what I mean?

Guess it's time to add my 2 cents.

quote:
This year game will contain a total of 52 characters (13 teams of 4). 7 characters will make their first appearance and 9 will make a comeback on the KOF scene. 3 characters were take out : Takuma Sakazaki, Chin Gensai and Hinako Shinjo.


I wouldn't be surprised if this part is true just based on the fact that they removed only 3 of the charcters that I actually like. As the saying goes, there's no account for taste.

quote:

ROSTER
The New Hero Team : K’, Maxima, Whip and Kula.


Gee...there's a surprise!

quote:

The Osaka Team : Kyo, Benimaru, Goro and Moe Habana.


Bah! I prefer the 2001 team myself.

quote:

The Iori Team : Iori, Seth, Vanessa and Ramon.


WTF is this team still here?! For pete's sake, put Iori as a permanent edit character already!

quote:

The Fatal Fury Team : Terry, Andy, Joe and Alfred.


Well, new blood would be nice for this team. But I doubt Alfred will make the cut; especially since he didn't even appeared as an another striker in KOF 2000. Oh well, it could/would be worse. They could've added Rick.

quote:

The Art of Fighting Team : Ryo, Robert, King and Yuri.


Can't Eolith take a page from the Psycho Soldiers team and leave the roster alone! Ryo, Robert, Yuri, & Takuma belong together.

quote:

The Military Team : Leona, Ralf, Clark and Heidern.


WOW! One of my least favorite teams returns, more overpowered and annoying as always! *YAWN!*

quote:

The All Womens Team : Mai, Blue Mary, Li Xiang Fei and Kasumi Todo.


This is the reason I don't care for this team anymore. While I'm at it, why is there still only one all-female team in the game?! You'd think some other gals would want to show them up by now; and another all-gal team with more permanent characters would be nice.

quote:

The Psycho Soldiers Team : Sie Kensou, Athena, Bao and Lin.


Great! Now one of my favorite teams has two members I hate with a passion! What genious thought of this one?!

quote:

The New International Team : May Lee, Duke Edwards, Kang Baedal and Gai Tendou.


I guess a Buriki One team would've made too much sense. Gai's the only one on that roster I would want to see in KOF 2002.

quote:

The Old Korean Team : Kim, Chang, Choi and Jhun Hoon.


I don't see this happening, especially with the 2001 ending for this team. Doesn't matter either way. This team is in the same book as the Ikari team.

quote:

The New Saisyu Team : Saisyu Kusanagi, Shingo, Shizuru Kagura and Sho Kirishima.


I'd rather have Cosplayer Kyoko instead of Chizuru.

quote:

The Vengeful Team : Mr.Big, Billy Kane, Ryuji Yamazaki and Eiji Kisaragi.


The only good thing about this roster is the fact that they're using more AOF characters. KOF seemed more fun without Billy and Yamazaki.

quote:

The NESTS Team : K9999, Angel, Krizalid Prime and Misty.


Didn't Krizalid buy it with Zero and the other strikers in KOF 2001?! This guy's becoming the Geese Howard of KOF (Like we really need another never die guy!)

quote:

Mid-Boss(es) : This year mid-boss(es) will be the NESTS Team. According to the story, if you’re playing with this team, your opponents will be considered as super clones of yourself.


....... God no! KOF 99 all over again!

Andy Seto is not and has never been the official KOF mangaka.... After seeing how the Japanese fans where racists about the whole Playmore Story, nobody can believe they gave the right to a non-japanese mangaka to write the official story. It's not becauses he tries to imitate (badly, IMO) the style of Shinkiro and Hiroaki that he his official.

I read it online somewhere, and not from in the game. I never believed that it was the absolute truth of what was contained in the game.

It's on Kof online in the quotes section. I don't have 2k1. Actually it might be when Heidern beats Takuma, not sure which. But it's one of the two. Anyways, make sure Heidern (or Takuma) takes out Takuma (or Heidern) and that the person you take out is the last guy in the list and you should get the quote. According to Kof online. I don't have it... so I can't tell you for certain. ^_^
