|  "Just a theory on the SvC Roster"
, posted Sun 27 Apr 16:25
Well here's an interesting thing I thought about. I fired up SvC:MOTM and saw that there are 13 characters on each side. 9 main characters, 2 secret characters, and 2 boss characters (for each side which totals to 26)
Now I know that Playmore/SNK is showing that this isn't just an Arcade remake of the NGPC game, but still, what if they go for the same type of Roster?
I mean right now they have 8 characters for each side, what if, that IS the basic roster, and they plan to have 2 or 3 secret characters? The interesting thing is, there's a certain pattern to the secret characters in MOTM. The first secret character for each side you unlocked was a "popular" and "obvious" choice (Yuri and Akuma). The second pair was the NOT so obvious "suprise" (Akari and BB Hood) And then came the first bosses (Geese and Bison) and the secondary "Final" bosses Evil Ryu and Orochi Iori.
I'm just thinking they MIGHT do this, especially in console versions where they don't have to worry so much about space (like King and Shingo in KOF 2002)
My POSSIBLE guesses if they indeed did this would be for SNK would be (Any Last Blade Character) and Shingo (or some rather popular expected KoF character). And on the Capcom side I'm thinking the two spots would go to a DS character (they HAVE to put in ONE to balance the roster a little) which I think will PROBABLY be someone like Morrigan (I know I know, someone like Felicia or J Talbain would be cooler, but I'm thinking popularity here) And then I'm thinking Dan. Mainly because Ryo's in, and it just makes more sense to have them as rivals instead of the suspicious looking Tessa/Ryo rivalry.
And speaking of Rivals, I took another look at the select screen and noticed unlike CvS2 which pretty much had everybody "parallel" to each other as much as possible Ryu/Kyo, Bison/Geese, Morrigan/Nakoruru, and so on and so on (yes if you look carefully everyone in the CvS2 select screen is placed on the EXACT opposite space on the select screen and have some kind of either rivalry or connection with one another). However in SvC: MOTM the select screen lacked this, and some characters had rivals who were secret characters (Felica/Akari, Iori/Akuma) So I think even though the SVC:Chaos page does represent the actual "Rivalries" that'll be in the game, doesn't pertain to ALL the characters. Ryo especially, just doesn't "fit" with Tessa.
However, for all we know it could be a KoF-like roster with 30-something chartacters. Dunno, this is just an idea I had, that I wanted to write it down and see what everybody else thought. Sorry if this is a bother to anyone with all the other topics for SvC right now.
Oh yeah, I think like a mix between CvS2 and MOTM the stages will either just be remade stages from past games (MOTM) or be original stages with a truckload of cameos in the background.

I really really hate how everybody is raining on this game before there are even SCREENSHOTS out. -_-
Yeah, I agree with that. I'm really excited about the game, and I won't complain (at least, not a lot, hehe), until I play it.

The freaking game has been in development since 2000, people, give them SOME credit. If this comes out crappy, then I'd say SNK truly IS dead, and Playmore is an unworthy replacement.
And because of that, I'm supposing that there are more characters. Don't be surprised if the game ends woth 40+ characters, and with better quality than KOF.
Think of it: The reason why the KOF sprites look worse than the other more recent SNK games is not because of the number of characters, but because they are still using the same design style of '96.
The animation quality will drop with more characters (but not that much), but you'll be surprised by the sprites detail. Remember my words.

Makes perfect sense!
Here's one of the hidden characters :P

Things I noticed in all the Vs. Games, from the Neo Geo Pocket SVC, to CVS1, Pro and 2, to this game.
1. No characters seem to age. Terry still has the old costume and not the Mark of the Wolves outfit, Kyo still has the High School uniform, and Gouki still doesn't have the white stripes in his hair. Possible exceptions are Chun-Li, who went from her SF2/2nd Costume Alpha Sprite to her Third Strike Sprite and Vega(Dictator) who started as the Alpha Version in SVC and ended up as the SF2 version. Though, these are changes to their moves list and not their costumes.
2. Not a single character specific to the KOF Nests Storyline has showed up in any of these games. No K', no K9999, no Angel, nobody. What's up with that?
