He may be hidden in KOF 2003. The SvC Uploader has 12 pics of him, and if it's a fake, the guy who did those (with the even younger Hokutomaru) should be hired at SNKP. It's strange, actually Andy didn't missed any KOF, but it gives the feeling of "Resurrection!" like for Juhn or Hinako.
OK, now where are the interesting hidden characters?
(Oh, and still at the Uploader : the gaijins who can't read english but write in it strike back)

yeah saw those, i'm pretty sure they're fake. Andy's portrait art doesnt really fit in, but a nice effort. Also in the pic with Mai, Terry/Korean team. Mai's sprite is ovalapping Andy's sprite, from memory. The middle character's sprite should be on top, because they're the first fighters.

True, Andy should be on top, but it looks awesome! I don't find the portrait art weird, I think it's ok.

Definitely, it would be a kick ass hidden character.

There is nothing wrong about it : team select has not ended, order places are not defined (boxes at bottom of the screen are empty).

Chang's face is also in the middle, but is placed in third place on the beginning of the round.

Also, it's not unusual for the characters to overlap each other in the intro. In fact, I think it happens in almost every intro, because there are a lot of characters with their legs stretched out. Kyo, Mai, and Maki (or Chizuru?) all have their legs stretched out.

And yeah, if this is a hoax, it's a nearly perfect one. Not only does that Andy look awesome, but in this picture, he's placed around completely new pictures of some of the playable hidden characters. And in the earlier picture, not only is that portrait not an obvious cut and paste job, but there's an a completely new Hokutomaru sprite complete with a mid-intro blur effect.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably real. There's certainly a lot more evidence in those pictures than there ever was of Geese during the SvC beta.

I don't think Andy's sleeves looked quite like that in previous KoFs...

I can't seem to regognize the girl in the middle in the female team in the last screenshot...

I thought Kyo's jacket colour was the same as his pants' in this game, but it seems it isn't so at least in one of his palettes (a la Marco Rodriguez...), by the look of the screenshot where he's standing next to Kusanagi...

I'm hoping this is true because this would mean it's the third KoF outfit for Andy while other characters continue to walk around in the same crap year after year.

I think it's the same guy who put Clark and Leona in MS5.... although unfortunately it's fake. The rom was already examined and Mukai and Adel are the only hidden characters. You'll notice that they gave Andy a new costume... but he appears in the FF team ending and Mai's ending with his old 2k2 costume, it doesn't match.

In the upper right of the first pic, Andy's low kick (and the way his hair is moving) looks incredibly familar for some reason. Sorta reminds me of the blonde in that Samurai fighting game for the neo that came out ages ago.

If these are fake... I wonder if Andy and/or any other missing characters who have been there every year(like Choi or something)will be returned in the home version like King and Shingo in 2k2, that would be fun.

Shingo and King were removed for memory reasons (2k2 was PACKED full of characters), and were probably originally intended to be in the game. Andy on the other hand has been legitimately written out of the story for this ep, he has about as much chance of coming back in console release as Heidern or K9999.

If he is coming back, i imagine it will be in a game or two when / if they decide to bring Hokuto into it.

I know he's got a reason to be missing, but it's not like storyline has ever prevented a another companies picks of home version exclusive characters... I think the New Challengers in SFA3 and the various console Soul Calibur 2 characters prove that much...

and since you mentioned it Heidern, Takuma, and Saishu SHOULD be back too! AND the sports team! But not the boss team that'd just be screwy having MOTW Terry met Geese... and probably ackward for little Rock.

I'm honestly surprised they decided to write him out instead of just teaming him with Hokuto (and probably Mai) this year... maybe they want to space out the MOTW characters or something.

going with the last thing I said to lead me slightly off topic:
With the inclusion of MOTW characters I'm surprised no one has used the 2k Dong Hwang and Jae Hoon Striker sprites to make fake pictures yet.

They wouldn't do that because that would be too obvious. But then, that wouldn't stop some fakers. They could use those sprites and doctor them to make 'em look a bit legit. Bleh.

I personnally like the fake pics. As long as folks let you know their fake. There kinda fun.

But really, it would take A LOT to convince me that anything unannounced is legit. People have become DAMN GOOD at faking. Faking SNK KOF characters is like an art form now.

But it don't matter because...

I never said they'd be GOOD fakes, I mean just fakes they'd try to pass off as real with the logical "but they're KoF style AND look at the life bar! See!"
