I noticed that too. I can't wait to hear people say that Eolith doesn't care about KOF enough to even spell the characters names right. ESPECIALLY Kyo's, I mean he's been the center of attention in that game forever already.

Eolith doesn't care! lol. I KNEW from day 1 when it was announced this company Eolith whom I never even heard of was getting the contract to do KOF, I knew it wasn't a wise choice. As blasphemous as it is to say this, I sometimes wish the rights to KOF would of been bought by Capcom, at least they would do a bit more justice to the franchise then whats been done in 01-02.

And capcom would do what exactly with kof's licence?change all the sprites to capcom vs snk or street fighter style(OMG!It scares me to even think about that!),change half the cast in every new kof and introduce characters like Q and Hugo or Alex,discard the traditional storyline and maybe even make an attempt to release a 3D kof(!)well,most propably they wouldn't bother to release kof annualy and we would get a kof every two years with titles likeultimate battle ex plus II'...
I myself am glad to see a company such as eolith pick up kof and release(truth be told) above average kof games than not seing kof games at all...

I personally think Eolith is up to no good with KOF... they've basically come out and said in the past they view this as a learning experience. They're going to work on these games for a little while to try and learn just how you make them... But in the future, I expect them to try and make their own blatant KOF rip-off and attempt to drive KOF out of the Korean market. Yes, I know this doesn't really have anything to do with this thread, but I've been thinking about it recently.

I think that's how you spell the names in romaji with the way you pronounce it.

$5 says Rugals right on this one! Another $5 says Eolith's future KoF rip-off is superior to their attempts at KoF

There's really no standard way to translate things in to romaji. Some of these would be acceptable, but the " Kusanaki " would not be.

The whole reason I think Eolith deserves to get blasted is frankly a talented team of Mugen creators could do better with all the resources from SNK's past KOF games and have made a much better sequel. Thats just my 2 cents.

Sammy wasn't much better in the spelling department than Eolith when they made EX Blood. Still, when you spend almost a year on a game, you get the damn spelling of the names right dammit!! Is that really such a difficult task?!
Also, the links to the teams are wrong (click on Japan, got Psycho Soldier, etc.) and those white outlines on the pics are a definetely no no.

It's no big deal. SNK did that a lot too, and they worked on the game longer than Eolith.

True, but they were nowhere near as bad as this, and they generally corrected their mistakes for the next game.
I mean...how can you get everything right the first time and then turn all retarded and screw it up the second time? Its like..."Duuuuh...maybee we shuld lok at da stuf from 2001 and se how we speld da nams." "No, i dont fink dats a good idea, lets just try to remember dem and se if we get dem rite."

SNK corrected some mistakes, but they'd make new ones all the same. Their English instruction manuals were especially laughable. Every year some new misspelled names or moves. It never made a difference to the game though.

trust me, it's not going to exactly leave kof in a lot of monetary pain. kof is popular here but not sickeningly so.
and japanese does have a standard romanization style. korean romanization is far more iffy, however, and might be why the *flash image* has mispelled names. but izek summed up my thoughts nicely...it's just a stinkin' website.

Romanji is Japanese spelling using Roman letters. Ka ki ku ke ko. I think there is a standard of Romanji, but a lot of places with signs in Japan don't know or adhere to the standard.

Oh, I don't really care if it causes playmore trouble or not. It's the principle that matters. The phrase " underhanded " comes to mind, if they actually do it ( and I'm betting they will. )

but that's the name of the game in business. i'm sure snk did their own fair share of it.
