Suija sama, tataemasu!
It's a dream match !!!!!!
3 new characters : Amakusashirô, Zankurô and Gaô.
The kenki gauge and the mu no Kyôchi are still here. Some new system will also appear.
Spring 2004.
Nakoruru uses the Yatoropokku. It's the first time since ShinSamu she has it.
(other considerations about Tokisada and Zankurô's moves, but I'm not familiar with them. Zankurô seems to have a counter.)
The copipe continues, since we can see a background of ShinSamu on one pic. There are not enough pictures to see if the characters have been redrawn (but it's extremely unlikely ; after all, Zankurô and Tokisada were the 2 only characters from Amakusa Kôrin who were not reused in SS0).
The illusts seem more japanese. (Good!)

This is of course not the definitive casting, there will be more characters, at least Yumeji and Sankurô. I hope they will redraw one more character or two... ShinSS Chamcham was quite ugly in Amakusa Kôrin.
As Suija sama says, I would love to use Mizuki (who wasn't even playable in Shin SS), but then, if she could come back as the kick ass final boss, I would be happy too (REDRAWN !!!). I guess the characters that appear in Gaira's ending won't be redrawn, no Assquake / Gen An / Nicotine / Wanfu / Shigeru, so it only leaves Chamcham and Kuroko...

If they only continue with the copipe, without anything new, but only with some balance adjustement and bug check, I will be happy. Plus I would like to see why is Zankurô so popular.
And now, I understand why SS0 on PS2 was scheduled in June. So far, Yuki = Kami.

But...like Suijasama says "the best part in a SNK game is when it's announced, you can dream. Because when it's released, it's Hell".

Yeesh, I just found an arcade in my area that has the game and now there's already talk of an upgrade? It's good to see that the game is doing well enough that SNKP thinks they can squeeze a few more bucks out of it but it seems a bit early for a tweaked version to come out.

What I love about this is that they made the upgrade BEFORE releasing the home version. It's obvious the PS2 version will be SS0S (and maybe with the regular SS0 as a bonus, so you can play with the Nadeshiko all day), so no one will feel screwed like with the infamous GGXX#reload.

He's clearly not made for SS. Graphically and move-wise. Same for Shiki.

Any confirmation whether this will be Atomiswave (like which was being rumored when the article showed up) or MVS?

EDIT: Well if this is just PS2 exclusive, I agree with Iggy, in that it would be cool to release this on PS2 along with the original SS0 (it's a collection and thus would have a much higher chance of being released in the US)

I also wonder whether PS2 or Atomiswave they're going to make an Arranged soundtrack or at the LEAST make an English story mode (I know this is a Dreammatch, but I don't to see us English speakers left out dialog wise)

Remember, what I said about the PS2 was a mere speculation. About the board, I don't see how it would not be MVS. After all, this is not even a "special" like Fatal Fury Special was (a real new game with a lot of character redone for it), it's just an upgrade. Then, it's released less than 6 month after the original game, which had a lot of problems, amongst which the flying grandpa and the Nadeshiko were the less problematic. And at last, if this time I hope for them they are more than 5 to devellop it, they shouldn't be a lot more, so there's a limit to what they can do.
So, if you loved the first one as I did, you should be very excited about it (and afraid about the "new system" who could make things perfect as it could screw everything) ; if you weren't much impressed by the first SS0, this is basically the same game.
Those bug problems remind me of something. Actually, this is less what Fatal Fury Special was to FF2 than what Star Ocean 3 Director's Cut is to SO3. This is basically a bug-less version of the original, and to spice things up, they add a new system, a balance check, they copy in Amakusa and Zankurô and they make the 3 bosses playable (I'm really looking forward to what will a playable Gaô look like).

AST... It would be nice, but I don't think they will do it even on PS2. About the english scenario mode... Well, remember Yuki is a far smaller company then SNK, and they do a game (they think is) specifically japanese.
Oh ! I just remembered something! The scenarist of the game said he wrote a lot of things for the game before someone told him to cut everything and shut up ; he said the demo scene of Unpi (before the first fight) was like 3 minutes long... I would LOVE to know what was in it. If they don't put it in the SP or the domestic version, I hope they will put it in a future mook.
That mook reminds me also that Enterbrain, despise the partnership with Aracadia, didn't made a mook for SS0. Maybe they thought the game would not be major enough, maybe they were waiting for SS0S... I know I want a mook for this game BADLY.

I see what you're saying, except it's still possible that they're doing something like converting the game to Atomiswave to have more room for characters and maybe touch up on the graphics so that what we get is like an Arcade version of a Graphically improved PS2 port (like if they took 2k1 for the PS2 and made an Arcade version)

Either way, I too loved SS0 and look forward to an "upgraded" version however it's done.

So was this the news taken from Arcadia or have we yet to see what their word on the game is (and/or their information was leaked early)?

What is in Arcadia is in my first post (3 bosses, old/new backgrounds, new moves).

It's that move when she dive down from Mamahaha forward, downward or backward. It was usefull in the first SS, but became useless in the second, especially since she has the kamui mutsube (the move where she dives down quickly with some kind of fire aura).

I vote for Mizuki-sama!!! I don't know where I got the idea that she could be fun as heck to play, but what the hell.

I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
I will rule the world

and find that truly good cup of coffee.

They'd probably have to tone her down a hell of a lot, but yeah...She'd be hella fun to play as.

Of course playing against her...Well...Is less fun.

And I hope the SS0 special features make it over to the PS2 version. If not I'll be wary of getting the first port, since they might have the improved one coming out soon after...

Well, anyway, even if it's SS0, we SHOULD get a bug-less game.
Oh, and even though it went very beautifull as time goes by, I hope they don't remak the backgrounds 3D. It was nice on SvC and the latest KOFs, but with 10 years old sprites...

Personally, I'd rather have some of the characters from 64, 64 II, and PS1 Warriors Rage put in the game rather than 3 bosses; all of whom I don't even like or missed (in Amakusa and Zankuro's cases.).

Cham Cham's about the only character I do miss from the earlier games

I don't think ANYONE would want a copipe from the 64 or PS1 game. And we can't honestly wait for this special edition more than even more copipe . Maybe in a future game, Morosumi Taisan in 2D.... (goes back his Samusupi!2 cardrige)

All I'm wishing for is Yumeji. Zankuro will be fun too, though.
