, posted Thu 27 Nov 11:13:
Well, finally, even though I continue to hate the kyokugen in the game, I must say their story is great as ever. Maybe I would miss their stupid stories if they were gone (kotoshi ha free-cchi!)
Robert learning PR to Ryô is a classic.
But I thought Robert ended KOF 2001 as poor as the Sakazaki? Did I dreamed it?
The info of K' is... informative, and I never saw Whip hating traitrors. Chin mostly talks to Maxima, K' saying uninteresting things as usual (Maxima knows how to talk to old people). Chin says the psychic team won't go to KOF, Kensou and Bao because of what happenned in KOF 2001, and Athena also won't go, then Maxima informs him that Athena is on the list, and Chin gets angry at her.
He felt a dark energy in the tournament, more powerfull than Orochi and the NESTS (no joking?). It somehow ressembled to Orochi's energy, and he knows it already dragged Yagami and Kyô to the tournament. Because they both hate each other, it seems hard to believe they will cooperate to fight evil, so Chin thought to ask the help of a "second Kusanagi", a Kusanagi created by men (K'). Of course, K' hates this, but Maxima is the top of the couple, so he shuts up.
And Whip came back to Heidern's faction, and even though Heidern seems to have felt what was going to happen at KOF, she lets him to join K' and Maxima (and we konw Heidern will rely on Leona, Ralf and Clark).
I really look forward on the story of Athena's team...

Speaking of bio changes, I just noticed that there hasn't been any AGE of the characters mentioned. Is that the first year they did it? I remembered I still see them in KOF2000 though, but didn't really take note in the later 2 KOFs.
Yeah. Seems every era, SNK changes the rules a bit. Until the end of the Orochi plot, the characters continued to age. After '97, SNK didn't bother to update the ages for the dream match and then through the entire NESTS saga. (Terry remained, I believe, 24, for example.) Now no age is given at all -- and yet it's implied that some characters, such as Terry, have aged. I suppose that's a way out of the mess.
If it weren't for the Geese issue, I'd say it was a clever way of blurring the edges and making up for the (up to six) lost years, in some cases, as SNK attempts to march forward into the MotW timeframe. Now (pending some really wonderful excuse for Geese to be alive and well in this game) it seems to me that they've just thrown up their hands altogether.

"Mano-e-mano" is an Italian expression.
Talk with someone mano-e-mano, it's to talk with the hands (or fists ^_^).
It seems we're having a war of the Romance languages.
This is probably iffy, but I tried to translate mano-e-mano with Babelfish. It's definitely not French, but Babelfish came up with "hand and hand" for both Spanish and Italian. I think Burning Kyo is probably right; however, this might just be a straight Latin expression, such as "et cetera."
Its root is Spanish, regardless of whether or not it's an actual expression in Spain (or any other predominantly Spanish-speaking nation). It's "mano a mano", literally "hand to hand", its original definition refers to a direct competition between two bullfighters, and it commonly means "a face-to-face confrontation or competitive struggle".

Euh... Since Burning Kyo said it was Italian I didn't say anything, but if it's really as you say Darkzero, must point out that it just means the same as in English "face-to-face", as you point out, plus with...euh... "equality of conditions"? That is, fair fight, both rivals at more or less the same level. From my... enciclopaedia? (oh, boy, such a vocabulary I have u_u)
And I think it's a general expression, like tęte ŕ tęte, doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Bullfighting. Its origin maybe? Gotta look that.
Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...
How do you say "sushi" in Japanese? :D
