Good question; why are the names blocked out on some of the screen shots.

The names below the health bars in the KOF2k3 location tests have some serious bugs. In addition to the screens with the black bars on them, there are also images where some characters have had their names appear as numbers for absolutely no reason. And not just inactive characters, either. There's a screenshot or two where Iori is fighting, but his name doesn't appear in the name lists of either team; just five other character names and the name "18883" (or a similar number).
So unfortunately, it's probably a bug instead of something more interesting. And I'm pretty sure that the characters names are simply REMOVED when they die, rather than blacked out, but I could be wrong.

Maybe SNK finally got tired of Engrish and have decided to give L33T speak a try. :P Or maybe they're just random bugs.

I'm thinking its just an early version of the game. Not only are there black bars, (when now character's name are just gone when defeated), but the word S.CANCEL appears even when the character didn't super cancel at all :P

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had the common sense to see that... (;

Hopefully it won't have as many bugs as SvC had. Ugh. Damn game was cheap at times.

Some have disappeared but others have a black mark on top. I guess some of them SNK is just hiding the bugs on.

Um, actually I think they mean there was a bug where some names were showing up as text garbage, so SNK covered up the text garbage with black bars before releasing those screenshots.

Oh. I was thinking like..that Playmore thought of doing blackbars to indicate the character is dead, but now they switched their minds to have it just blank.

Here is the answer: this have nothing to do with bigs at all. It's just that the name of a character turn black when you switch him with an other and it'll stay black as long as you can tag with this character again... someone from the beta explain me this...
