Am I one of the few people who don't think this is gonna be all that hot? From the vids at the TGS, this game looks it it's degenerated into power stone esque everything everywhere style combat. Some people might like this, but I don't. Also I think there's not enough difference in sprite size when they change planes, I mean in those videos, if the players weren't constantly changing planes, I wouldn't even know there were planes in this game. Also, they should have toned down the special effects in the game, there were times in GGXX when it became hard to see what was happening because of the specials, now if we have 2 guys fighting on the back plane, they are gonna be blind if someone on the front plane jumps with that stupid huge dust effect or does any special move. Really, they should have removed all those non essential green line things etc. that just appear on screen for the sake of it. At least they removed the character double above the life bar that copies everything the player does...
Anyway, enough ranting. I'll give this the benefit of the doubt and see if the final product is more appealing to me. I hope so since I've been following this series since the first one...
2 sharp on both sides.
2 tired of double lives.
2-way mirror through your eyes.
Way 2 many honest lies.
The lines are drawn
So choose your sides.
2 EDGED.

No, I'm like you, but still I'm curious to know what the new characters will be, and this 2vs2 things interest me if it's played by 4 human player. (Cpu can cheat to easily this way)
Well wait and see.

This is true. The computer can exploit the 4 player system to the full extent.
But on the otherhand, it provides a challenge to us who find the computer on Maniac mode for a 5 of 9 match much too easy. Depending on the character, the match can last 5-7 minutes.
Also, I agree with the 4 human player chaos. That's what it will be, chaos. Also, in that instance, a 3-on-1 where I am the one has already been stated by people that I play against to be unfair...to the 3.
The new characters should be an interesting addition. It will provide more characters to learn and master. The environment will be another thing to learn and master as it provides more opportunity for chaos. When 2 skilled players go at it with infinite time limit, the game is chaotic enough as is.
In reply to the person who posted before the post I am replying to, it's more like Fatal Fury than Power Stone. It has 2 layers of 2-D movement rather than free range movement.
Also, I don't know if maybe my eyes are more sensitive to these sorts of things, as I program and do the graphics for those programs, but I was able to tell about the 2 layer fighting from the still shots that were taken.
The Dizzy, Testament, Johnny and May fight was the first picture that I saw and I could tell immediately that Testament was behind May and Dizzy was behind Johnny.
In other words, I really can't see what you're talking about when you say that you didn't know that there were 2 layers until you saw the movie. But then again, to each their own.
I'm hoping that North America will see this game for PS2 hopefully. I already have the multi-tap, and this is just a dream come true.
By the way, does anyone have a screenshot of the beta test character select screen?
I was able to predict that Kliff and Justice were going to be in a version of GGXX (GGX2) just by looking closely at hints left on the Japanese arcade character select screen. I want to see if I can do this again.
I'm pretty sure the hints were unintentional, but I was still able make to the predictions.
I also noticed that the home version of the game didn't have these hints there either, even though where I looked was exactly the same layout as the Japanese arcade screen.

Hey, never said there aren't any new characters in Isuka, just that the header didn't mention specifically that there were any new characters.
Really though, I don't see much chance for new characters anyways.
Well, since Arcadia is out now, if there was any new characters in it, we would have heard of them...
I'm still mad at me for my mistake. I really anticipated new characters as brilliant as Bridget or Zappa, so I... Arrrrgh.
I wonder what the enhancements for the returning characters will be, if it will be just adjustments like GGX->GGXX->GGXX#, or each one would get a bunch of new moves (that would fit with the double line system?), new animations, etc...
And now that I think of it, no news of KOF 2003 in october is EVIL.
ADIT : Henaki, maybe reading too much posts from Kikkoken made me paranoid, but your wink wink frightens me.

And no, there are only 20 new characters and no hint that there could be more. The art for everyone is really nice, Eddy dragging Zato-1's corpse is nice, and Bridget is at last cute, but... BUT NO NEW CHARACTERS GODDAMIT!
They say nothing that haven't been said elsewhere, but I may add that the pic of a 1 on 1 fight looks very similar to GGXX in term of size of characters. So if you don't play it as a battle royale, you still can play a decent GGXX with 2 lines.
The character select screen looks like CvS2, so it should be very easy to add RoboKy, Justice and Kliff in the consumer version. There are 2 non character boxes, one beeing the random, and the other... nothing, or maybe a hidden RoboKy.
The other picture look über crap, you can barely see who is fighting.
