Athena looks like she just stepped out of Candy Land or something.

This is shapping up to be one good game.

In the end, very few of the illustrations are as good as his usual fan art. His Hinako fan art (Hinako looking at a puppy) is much better than the official one. Athena looks really weird, not to mention the muscles in all male characters...

For the record engrish site updated, they only lack Athena & Hinako.

.... I'm pretty sure this game has it's faults but every game I play is hardly "perfect", so I'll just give it a shot.

The draws are... good; but falcoon has better ones stored...

I like the look, though it's not my favorite Athena outfit I still find it cute and nice. Wonder how it animates in the game...

As for Shingo...Man, with every coming year I really, really, REALLY, want him to kick Kyo's ass. He deserves some justice for remaining cool, despites SNK's joke endings....

Ugh. Not that bad, but really, really not my cup of tea, and IMO, a step back from last years really cool costume. Remove the heart motif (except for the one in her top)and the bowtie, and it'd be much, much better.

What the? Athena is looking wierder and wierder every year. Why not go back to a more traditional (as in KOF96-99) costume? Or maybe the schoolgirl outfit would work. But the latest style looks too wierd.

And Benimaru, wearing a Leopard-skin shirt!?!

KOF is just getting wierder and wierder every year..

Bash! Bash! Bash! Actually, I kind of like Athena's outfit even if the short top/heart motif was already done by Yashiro. Who would have guessed that Yashiro would be more on top of fashion than Athena?

Yashiro? Don't you mean Benimaru?

And personally, I prefer the more distinct costumes Athena wears post KoF 99. The differences each year became more profound, and it looked like some real effort was thrown into them. That being said, this costume looks like a throwback to the earlier ones, what with the lack of the color blue in it (which became an integral part of her costumes after 99), and the full skirt. I wonder what happened to her star headband, though.

Maybe that's their storyline!!

Overall, I think the art is pretty cool. I like the detail and everything. Kim Kaphwan looked really cool and didn't let me down. It would be cool if they used this art for the in-game art, but sadly they use that gay art IMO. Maybe in the Atomiswave, they will use Falcoon's art, if he is still around.

dude that would kick ass. The great Kyo, fallen at the hand's of SHINGO!! I doubt it would ever happen though, as SNK really tried to make Kyo the ultimate bad ass man. Who knows though, maybe it happens in 2k3.

(BTW this reminds me of EOLITH with Kim. Those dastardly koreans, if it weren't for them, Kim wouldn't have those bad ass animations that he has today.)

Of course it will never happen... I don't get you all : what's the purpose of making a gag character serious and boring? It would be like if Yuri suddenly became a real distinguished woman after hanging out with all those rich italian bastards, or Hinako doing some classy fighting style instead of sumo, or Gedô coming back to human form and becoming a monk to pay for his crimes, or Mary and Leona losing their actual forms of humanoïd turkeys to become suddenly appealing human females?
What is left when you take away his gimmick to a gag character?

Hey, I think all the sumos out there are very offended at the moment!

Sumo-san: That's too bad. But I really don't care that much.

Sumo-san: Are you high? Hey, how'd you run here anyway?

Okay, so maybe they aren't offended. But you should still be ashamed of yourself!

Well, they weren't too enthused either, but watch out! I'm only about 14 banks away by now!

Well, I... neither liked nor disliked her. It's fine, but there's one thing I didn't like them (Falcoon or whoever decided this) to change at all: her star headband. Why does it have hearts now? They had always been stars and she'd always wear it no matter what the rest of her clothes were.
Picky and detailist me is sad

.

As for the rest, I agree with what's been said around here more or less. Not bad but definitely not Falcoon's best. I like Shingo, though, except for his too short gloves, and Benimaru (the art, not the design, mind you).

"Kensu" & "Asina"

such a nice couple.

Damn boredom that can kill you with a sword!

You're right, I have to apologize. Sumo is a very interesting art when it is performed by a 40 kilos schoolgirl. It's only disgusting when it is performed by a japanese guy whose penis must be unreachable in all his fat.

It's like saying Kusare Gedô is free of venereal diseases. It's not like there would be human beeing or a monkey on earth that would dare to do what would require the action of giving them the infection.
Oh, except Mary. Anton seems to be really horny.

Is Sumo even possible if you don't have that fat? I know Judo has people beating others that are much bigger, but Sumo just looks like you have to have some mass to back up the holds.

Either way I'm glad Athena grew her hair back. Marin looks like her greatest adversary is going to be those pants though.

You seem unusually angered by this. Hey, lots of folks over here love fat chicks, why not fat dudes?

You probably could do all right, but you'd have to either fight like a judoka and counter your opponents' moves, or you could inject yourself with so many steroids that you could play hacky sack with an elephant, like an American pro wrestler.

There is "light-weight" sumo, and even women's sumo now, so Hinako isn't THAT much of a stretch, although she seems to lack the required muscle. As for Leona, yes, she is hot; so is Shermie, so BOTH of you be silent or face impending doom. Mary = bad, however.

I just found a character in Summon Night 3 has the exact same sort of 'pants' Marin has, including the belt, so she's not unique. Never noticed this before because the only place you see SN3 charactes from the waist down is in the gallery.
