Well no, I'm not, that's just an Idea I got and I wish your opinion on it.
Every one knows that this year is a dream match, and all of us where thinking about a boss reashes like an Omega zero, Original Krizalid, Orochi Ignis (arhg!).
but commig to think of it, it's a dream match so dead characters can be in, so why not the Real NEST master? You know this old geezer that ignis kill before you fight him.
I'm one of those who think that this guy was made as kof 2001 last boss with ignis first, and no Original zero at this time.
(the 1st pics professor give us was a battle sprite wersion of him on his throne with ignis ready to fight. It's not in the game, and ignis kill him before fighting you so...)Eolith didn't have the time to put him in the 2k1 so now they got all the time to put him in the 2k2 and this will bring a new boss, well someone agaisnt we didn't fight before.
Just hope if it's true that he won't turn into a cheapo chessy bastard with no power bar and overpriority strenghten up the wazzo.
A last thing: in the removed system we all think to the strikers, I think it can be the stupid bounce back screen thingy too.
Don't you?

Well, first off, dead characters can come back any time the designers choose.. ^_^
Secondly, I'm expecting very little from this game. I think it's a bit of a cop-out; Eolith didn't do enough work on it before, and never came up with a usable " saga " story ( Make a one-off storyline, dammit! ), so they just are kind of " slamming this out " .. Anyway, to the point. I expect to see rehashed bosses ( maybe a NESTS boss team ), and I expect a good 90% of the art to be recycled, primarily from 2000 and 2001. Oh, also, about the boss of NESTS cartel, his name IS actually " Nests " ; it also seems he's already been dead for a long time when Igniz vaporizes his head ( maybe he's turned to dust? )

Yup, from the way I look at it, I am not expecting much from KOF2002 either. "35-40 characters" don't make much of a dream match, and the fact that it can be released 1-2 months earlier than the scheduled Dec date, when they are facing a shortage of staff, doesn't really give me the impression that they could make a good KOF this year. Well, we shall see how it turns out then...

Actually, there are people who claim that the first Fatal Fury was NOT the first KOF tournament, just A KOF tournament, and that " KOF " was started a while before it ( 1970's? ). It just died for a while. Oh, and Beast, Geese could come back at any time. In fact, I expect to see him come back quite soon, because I think Eolith and Playmore won't come up with any ideas, so they'll resort to bringing back a lot of old villains ( YAY!!! )
Edit: Oh, and Dr. O, your tag is disgusting.

Well if we're assuming, let's assume KoF EX: Neo Blood is actually cannon (and if it is cannon, assume no more, it's fact!) Geese was alive and well up until 1998, so he would have seen the very early workings of NESTS
and from my understanding NESTS is mainly located in South Town, though I'm not 100% sure on that.
aside from which if he comes back in a Dreammatch it could be assumed he knows about NESTS anyway
Actually Nests is a global cartel, Zero just choosed to operate in Southtown (Must have cheap rent for villians hide outs).
Considering Nests is p[retty well knopwn for a secret Cartel, I'm quite sure a Dream Match Geese would know about them and open up a can of whoop ass on them. Southtown is his playground damn it. Heck, Geese could be surly all around just for the heck of it..(and it'd be much more intresting than the no story which seems to be coming.
Rugal/Dr.O: Yeah, the 45 character thing is really making me think this is not gonna be good KOF. I expect it'll be KOF 2k1 with one team gone and one team added...(Or as Baghead said, the Sports Team...).

Rugal.
Why? Because when it comes to KOF, he's the man. When SNK needed a catalyst for the "storyless" '98, who did they turn to? That's right, the king himself. The only KOF boss for whom the fight itself is plenty enough motivation. And considering how many people have whupped him in the past, he's still got plenty of past bitterness to avenge, too.
He never was with Nests and had only the most tenuous connection to Orochi...meaning that he's a free man. I can't tell you how important that is right now. He's just a "monster heel" (man, I never thought I'd have an actual use for a wrestling term on this board...) who can go anywhere, fit in any story, and take charge of KOF just because he likes it. Can't go wrong.
Besides, who else is there? Here, I'll give a little rundown:
Geese - A washed up, pitiful, pathetic, powerless shell of a husk of his former self. Has turned into a bigger joke than Joe and Shingo put together. Scares nobody, commands the respect of nobody.
Orochi - A horrendously trumped-up two-dimensional underpowered boss, and absolutely anathema to the anything-can-happen spirit of a "dream match". He no more belongs in a KOF dream match than Momo Karuizawa belongs in Virtua Tennis.
All the other Orochi guys - Same, except even worse.
Wolfgang - FF's "other boss" who's vanished off the face of the earth. Are the majority of KOF '02 players even going to recognize him? What the hell did he do, anyway?
Any Samurai Shodown/Last Blade/etc. boss - I know Dream Match = freedom, but I don't like to see completely out-of-place people thrown in just for the heck of it. Like it or not, KOF has a pretty solidly established continuuity, and there should be a reason for everybody who's in it to be in it. (And before you ask, CvS is not anything like KOF, so don't even bring that up.)
Ron - Who? Seriously, I think we should all be really wary of hyped-up characters who we've barely seen in any capacity (case in point, Goro from MK). They're never as important as the game publicists make them out to me, and as often as not are serious disappointments.
It's going to be Rugal or someone like him (i.e. powerful, imposing, strong tie to KOF, and will never go away). You heard it here first.
P.S. As far as a dream match being an opportunity to bring back the dead...well, it's nice that they're able to do that. However, I'd much rather that these companies not kill off popular characters in the first place, or at least give them an out. (For crying out loud, what was the friggin' point of making us think Foxy is dead?)
