Is this list the "official" one? VERY interesting if so...
- Psycho Soldiers looks like it's become Ladies' Team 2. (That 3rd pic on the ImageBBS looks like a girl to me)
- Only 29 characters SUCKS. I'll live, especially since they brought back a lot of characters I like, but that's tough to swallow considering even '99 had more.
EDIT: 32 characters is slightly better (more than '99 if you don't count the "waste of space" alternate Kyos). Rugal's brother?! Ehh?
- So much for the Dragon Power storyline (Unless Bao + Kensou are unplayable bosses or something). I had a feeling SNKP was going to ignore most of what Eolith laid out in 2001 and bring back some of the 2000 characters that were dropped (Hinako, Jhun).

 Really surprising! They really came up with an unexpected cast.... hmmm...
BTW, is this the new team? Else I don't recognize them... First one looks like Foxy.
BTW, Gato's down there.
quote:
Really, If SNK doesn't want to fallow the dragon Story, Why all the mystery behind Kensou, Bao,...I sure that will we learn more about the cast soon.
Come to think of it, maybe it's true they're forgetting about the Dragon Spirit thingie, but I'd rather think their absence and Athena's standalone participation in the tournament confirms it more than denying it: There has to (should?) be a plot reason for this change right? Something like Bao and Kensou getting really week/ill for some reason, so Chin decides to stay with them while Athena gathers a (moe) team to enter KOF and investigate. No?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About the system, sounds really like CvS2's Ratio System to me, plus MOTW's TOP mode, as Iggy said. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, of course.
quote:
The new gameplay elements sound cool, much much better than wire damage and I can live without HSDMs. I just hope these air combos aren't too crazy.... or they'll be losing some long time KOF fans.
Yup, that air combo part... hmmm... hope it's something more like Yunfei's techniques than like GG's system. Or even better something really new.
 MUCH HYPE
Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...

This cast is strange. They got rid of a ton of KOF staples (and characters I thought were becoming staples) and switched the teams around in what looks like some odd ways. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Thing is, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing, either. It's just... different in a way that's neither bad nor good but even nor too interesting (or even too boring, really).
I dunno. It all feels so different yet just... there.

I ddn't like this cast. The Garou Team was a nice surprise, as Yamazaki and Billy. But it seems so weird. I mean, I don't remember reading that Gato was an outlaw, or that Hinako had psycho powers (actually, she had no powers besides her strength and the fact she's so cute). Plus, what's this new ladies team? I always thought Mai didn't like Mary very much, since Mary "stole" her spot in the Fatal Fury Team (oh well, at least King and Yuri are back). And why do we need the Edit guys again?
I don't understand Japanese, but I'm really hoping those are fake pictures, because the cast just could be better...
I can be any person in the world ... maybe I'm this person right in front of you ... or maybe I'm not !!

new character Ash
...insanely ugly.
I hope he's better in the game, because... eeerk. Are they trying to top Remy in the "ugly french wannabe bishônen" style? and what's with his likes&dislike? K' was not enough? Green flames? give me a breack. "Sans Culotte"? I want to die.
Oh, and he's a tame-chara. Let's say he never existed, like Remy. Or at least until he resurrects Shermie (by french fraternity?)
Well, I was hoping for the new characters to maintain my interest to the game, I hope the 3 others will manage to do so. If like Chupi says Dyuron is just a cool Ron without his mask, it may work for me... Sheng Wu (?) has the potential to be a new moe character to team with Joe and Billy...
(looks at the move list)
Psychic 10 ? Ha!!
Edit : the leader move is the chôhissatsu/max2/Exceed of the game?
I'm not sure of what to think of it, maybe it's better than just a crappy TOP move...
OH MY GOD!!!! DOES IT MEANS.... (check)
Aaah, no, Whip still only has one super. I was afraid she might have learnt something.
Athena's close D, psycho ball and Crystal beat have been toned down BUT she gains the psycho throw back! yippie!
Hinako has a new move! take it, Whip!
Benimaru has new clothes, and seems ugly.
Daimon has a super counter (like Kasumi)
Shingo has flames... Oh my god, I don't want to know how Saishû's DNA entered his... no, really, I don't want to know.
Billy didn't change a lot, his forward + A is slower (it had to be so, but though... TT__TT) and the daikaen nantoka hits 100% even against a jumping opponent.
Since, unfortunately, Yuri is back, I wonder what will be her bakuri waza... denshin Haô shokoken? what's that?
Robert has a few changes.
Ralf has a new move and lost his Ralf tackle (YES!)
Clark doesn't seem very new, his leader chôhissatsu is UAB, wich has a few random finishes (Kikkoken! where are you!)
K' has a new move, air trigger, and a new chôhissatsu, heaven's drive. His leader chô his the chain drive.
The maxima beam is easier to use, but makes half the damage it did in 2002.
Someone claims to have seen Choshu (or was it Chonrei? the blue one) but it's probably one of the new mid bosses.
MATTHIAS!!! REVIENS!!! Choi est là en rannyû comme Shingo en 98!!! KUSANAGI is here as a rannyû also, they say KUSANAGI so it's likely to be Kaneda.
Last boss : Rdel
mid boss : Maki and CHIZURU KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
I was wondering why they put Kyô and Iori alone without bringing in Chizuru to make a team, now I know. If she's even a little bit new and not just her 98 self, I will... yippie!!!
other mid bosses : Zangis (looks like a knight, moves like Zero) andDias, a Rock lookalike).
Kula is in the background in casual clothes, so we'll have to wait next year to see her even as a hidden character (maybe they will take turns with Maxima or Whip?). So are Andy (is that like you look on Hokutomaru?), Kensou and Hotaru, so don't wait for them.
And so, Kyô has new moves and a new costume, but Iori.... DOESN'T!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Morrigan has a brother!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
OK, forgive me. This may be the best kof ever. and if the midbosses are nice (ie : NOT SvC Athena/RA), we have so far 6 more character, so 38+the last boss. I hope the new system is not as...."perfectible" as it seems.

Oh, and ash has a sonic boom-like and a somersault-like move. Remy, go away NOW!
I think they wanted to try to make a character even worse than May Lee, it's easy to say they already succedded.
Oh, and so far, for the japanese boss and the wind user... Z-A-N-N-E-N!
EDIT : yes, I'm raising my post number, so shut up now!
The jumps looks weird (???)
Mary/terry : Mary plays with a key holder and Terry laughts (?)
Sheng Wu looks like Ôgami from EX2, and has a Genkidama-like super. moe down.
Demo : a letter, like in KOF 94/95, turns in Ash's finger; then his teammates appear. Then we see drawings of everyteam related to their stories, then Iori, Kyô, Chizuru and Maki (who looks like Chizuru... Her twin sister didn't have a name... could it be...? Lio? Are you back from the deads?) then the 4 of them diseappear in blue (what is that again...) flames and Ash blows the blue flames away.
Oh, and it seems Karin is super not-moe-friendly. Well, she teams up with Hinako, I hope she's as... "interesting" as she was.
If this game is a GOOD MvC2, I think I'm going to love it.

The cast seems OK to me. Not too much of a surprise - I suppose they want a clean break from the NESTS saga, with the exception of leaving a team to remind us of it.
But from the movelist some interesting discoveries...Many of the old characters have new special moves never seen in previous KOF.
Yamazaki - A, A, fwd, B, C
Yuri & King - HCF X 2, A followed by C
Robert - in air, HCB X 2, B
Billy - HCF X 2, BD
Maxima - HCB, fwd, AC
Joe - HCB X 2, AC
And Kyo and Iori both have a new special move with similar name, hinting of some storyline with Chizuru.

The AB roll is there, and so are the guard AB and CD (I foresee problem with CD beeing also used to change characters...)
Oh, and you liked them, so Athena's friends, that appeared in her 2002 demos, are back in the same place.
Robert is the only character to have the Haôshôkôken as a normal move.
Benimaru has a new move, he raises the hand then it quickly, and a little thunderbolt comes down (I think there was a game were it was one of his winning poses... do-you-understand, something like that, no?)
Joe has a new voice, and it seems good. (Oh my god, if he doesn't sound as stupid as before, will I have to stop using it? so much angst!)
Many character changed voice, Mary (AT LAST!), Yuri... the guys that wrote it weren't sure (I guess the test was not the best place to hear distinctly something) but if Mary has at last the voice of a normal woman (or even something that doesn't seems like a commando of mutant sea-lion just got crushed by a drunk fireman truck driver) she may at last become a usable character!?
Marin changes clothes at the beginning of the fight, but not as Athena, she seems to just put them off (?)
And it seems like if you finish your opponent with a special move, all the Kyokugen team appear suddenly, then die in a horrible way and someone write the words "this team will never appear again in any game ever" with their blood.
I'm not sure about the last one, though.
And then she said : "I heard your calling little boston terrier! Be at rest cause the beer is your warden! She'll always look after you. But you have to avoid to drink mixes. And watch out for the liqueur! I can't protect you from the liqueur!"

(by the way, I'm feeling bad because I sometimes say something someone, Fuchikoma or Chupiler, already said better than me. My apologies to them).
The timer is only 60 seconds FOR THE WHOLE FIGHT. meaning, you have to beat 3 characters with your own 3 in only 1 minute (and if you leader dies before the other, everything is over... the fights will be very short).
You have 3 gauge, when you lose 1 character, you can go up to 4 gauge, then to 5 when a second character dies.
Resshushiendan...(Robert's Leader chô) If I get it, it's a move of Sensui from Yûyû Hakushô? (yes, I know, all the moves are like that, but the ones I get are so rares that...)(And THAT's probably the reason why Togashi is so late! Yes! It has to be! He was working on this... no, OK, I stop, I stop).
And the Denshi Haôshokoken of Yuri seems to be the raijin Hadôken of Ryû in SF3.
King's venom strike changed to be like Sagat's Tiger fireball (Under Venom and Top Venom).
Rdel has a Genocide cutter (Ha!) and reppuken (but he does those with his legs, not his arms.)
Maki IS Chizuru's Sister... So, we forgot someone in our thread "who is dead definitely but might be revived by SNKP?"
I haven't seen her yet, but I'm already in love. Oh, when you see the kanji, it does make sense.
Terry (and Griffon and Gatô, I guess) are not the sprites from MOTW, but don't look that good either.
There seems to be something strange with Iori's eyes (in the prefight drawing?), what should be black is white and vice-versa.
Strange... This year, we only have 1/4 of woman characters... Are they fed up with the moe scene?
Now that I think of it... Kyo -> K' [Kei Dash] -> Ash. Naming sense 0.
Maki seems über strong (No!! please!! make her playable!). She seems like 96 Chizuru, with her anti air that hits twice and has a lot of invincibility. She also has "korega mikirete".
Chizuru's dead sister comes back to life... The hero was raised in France...
SHERMIE IS IN KOF2004!!!!!!

"Re(1):KOF 2003 new characters" 
: I really want to believe that this cast list isn't final, but I've got this sinking feeling in my gut that it is. At least King and Shingo return, and Mary hasn't been dumped (even if Vanessa was). Maybe the new systems will redeem this game ... but if the "Leader Hissatsuwaza" techniques are just the chara's respective striker actions, I'm gonna be pissed.
