Have a special intro against each other that mimics their intro in Psycho Soldier? Along the same lines, I want a new version of the Psycho Soldier theme song in the next KOF revision, damn it! It's so much better than any of the Team China theme music has been. Oh, and Bao sucks, I want another grown-up psycho solider on the team! Maybe another love interest for Athena, or even better, for Kensou? Apart from Athena's constant costume changes, I feel the Psycho Solider team isn't getting its share of the cool changes in the recent games. Oh, and there should be a spin-off game starring Athena and Kensou someday, possibly a sequel to Psycho Solider.

Okay, I'm obsessing now, gotta calm down. Aw, fuck it. PSYCHO SOLDIER TEAM FOR EVAR!!

I thought Athena and Kensou already were love interests for each other?

She "says he just a friend..." Poor Kensou.

And I like Psycho Sonic Trip but then again, I actually like Bao.

Yeah see, for them to get serious there has to be someone else so one can feel jealous about the other. Oh, and I made a new tag, and by "made" I mean I grabbed the Psycho Solider logo.

They are. Well, Athena is Kensou's love interest, don't know how she feels about him. I have no prob. with Bao (but I've made that clear many times, I actually like Bao). I would like to actually play Psycho Soldiers though. I've never played it. I have played Athena though, I have it on my NES, and either I suck, or the game is just really, really, really hard. I can't beat the first level boss. It's a cool game though. It'd be cool if they'd make another Psycho Soldiers game. I love Athena and Kensou is cool (I should play with him more often).

As far as I can tell, early on he sort of got on her nerves but was tolerable. As time progressed she began to really care about him alot but was not attracted to him (I know how he feels). I'm guessing that if 2002 is about the Psycho soldier team then their relationship will be developed.

Hmmmmm Jhun from the Korea team is supposed to be very obsessed in her and is one of her biggest fan. He was going for her concert when he met with an accident, thus losing his place in KOF2001 - that was what I recalled from the KOF storylines.

I would like to see an intro of Athena and Bao where Jhun rushes him to present Athena a gift, making Kensou jealous, or a special intro of Jhun and Kensou. That will be interesting.

What happened with that Athena spinoff game on PS? No Kensou?

Athena's WAY to good for Kensou! They should dump him and find a new love interest for Athena!

Psycho Soldier was waaaaay back, and no way does it have any releveance to KOF, especially now. (The "SNK Games Special Picture" was a little in-joke, nothing more.)

Also, Athena is a performer, which means that she has to project a certain image, and it wouldn't help her popularity one bit to be seen as "taken", which is why she appears to be so cold to Sie. I find it utterly impossible to believe that someone like her could be so utterly insensitive in real life. ("So, not only do I pull that 'I love you but I'm not in love with you' crap with Sie, I also remain completely pure and virginal even though I'm a famous pop star who's not Catholic? Okay, sounds good to me."

)

Footnote: Athena is no more a "magic girl" than Chizuru is. "Tokimemo girl" is plausible, but since she obviously graduated from high school long ago, that's no longer appropriate.

What do you mean has no releveance?

-Both the Psycho soldier team and Psycho Soldier theme songs are the same.
-Both the Athena in Psycho Solider and Athena had crystal bits.
-Both Athena in Psycho Solider and KOF have psycho balls
-Both Athena in Psycho Solider and KOf have psycho swords.

Anyways, the Psycho Solider game is a great game... even though I did only play it for the first time a year ago. Me and a friend played it over Kawaks, and had a good laugh. Especially when Kensou turned into a dragon and atena jumped on. Endings credits are also nice, athena singing psycho solider while kensou bangs on the drums.

I think we are in agreement that Kensou needs to tap that.

I dont like bao cuz he jacks kensous psycho powers.

Anyway, in spite of how cruelly Athena treats poor Kensou, she's still one of my favorites, especially now that she has her Psychic 9. Ending the fight with the super psycho sword just feels so good...

Kensou is still my comeback kid though. I have had so many successful saves with him.

I can't seem to pull off the Psychic 9. I get about two hits in and then the move fizzles out. I can do the speed super combos in Last Blade 2. Is Psychic 9's timing akin to that?

It's close enough for me, but there is one thing to think about: when you enter 632146+A+C, she runs up and does TWO hits. The command entry starts when the SECOND hit lands.

Import only. Kensou's in it too.

I have the OST to the game and he's one of the main characters listed in the book.

The Japanesse marks used for his name are the same as in my KOF 2000 instruction booklet, so that's how I can tell it's him (Just like Athena, Kensou's got some different duds.).

Ahh! I was always entering in the commands too early.
