So Falcoon worked on MI... the horrible original characters are his...
On the other hand, I understand better the alternate costume of the existing character. It does make sense. And he's going to stay at SNKP a little longer.
And he likes Yamada Jubei. I like that guy.

Makes sense in a way! I can see where Lien's coming from...
I wonder to what extent it's all a creation of the artist... I mean, do they ask him to make a "cute female character that we can put cat ears on" and end up with Mignon Béart, or does he go to the team and gives them a finished product like "hey, I have this original character that could be in the game..."

btw, this doodle looks a lot like chibi-ed in FMA! hum...

Falcoon worked on MI? Now it all makes sense! Well, it all makes sense except for Soiree's default outfit, that thing still defies any rational explanation.

So, Falcoon did the character art for KOFMI, so that's why still to this day I find it surprising that even in 2D or not, the KOF fighters are still cool(they've never been cool, not even THE ONE, till he came).And yes, he is without a shadow of a doubt, the best Taisen Kakutou Game artist ever, and thank God he will stay for The King Of Fighters 2004.I can't wait to see him draw the evolution of The One Shingo Yabuki.Catch you later.

Lien and Rock´s alternates. We already knew Lien´s (from the long video, where she´s fighting Rock), but Rock´s we onbly had a description.

I think it's kind of a cool idea that he would dress like Terry in MOW, but yeah, it could have been a lot cooler (like his default outfit).

I like Lien's alternate look better then her default "Anna Nicole Smith" look. Rock however looks like crap.

I don't like them. :/ Probably the weakest of the 2P outfits IMO. (well, Lien is better than Seth and Maxima by default... but still)

Looks like I will actually use Lien now, that outfit is way better. Like that hair too.
Rock looks cool, but I prefer the original one.

So, when will NCS have this game anyway? It isn't available for preorder, but neither was Third Strike...

Rock's 2P outfit looks like bad MotW-Terry cosplay... and Lien's looks like DoA-Helena cosplay (minus the cleavage, of course). Heh, fine by me, then, seeing as how Yuri's 2P looks like Fio minus glasses. ^^;

(Mind you, I'll ignore all that and attempt to play Mignon first when I get the chance, 'cuz she's a pink-haired girl. =P )

That's Rock's 2P? Aw man...too bad.

My friend had the idea that he should be in full Geese-wear, that would've been bad ass.

Hmm... yeah Rock has been wearing Terry's clothes again, it looks like. But wouldn't it have been cooler if he wore Geese's clothes?

HAhahaha...Falcoon doing KOF MI characters..Now I understand why they all loks crapy...If this dude got talent for his own "pin-ups" for Game characters he didn't have it at all.

And he's staying at SNK?? well KOF 2004 will have the same ridiculous/goofy/un-proportioned art than KOF 2003 then...

Why can SNK gat a hand on talented people?? If Senri kita is working for Capcom, there is still Tonko and Hiroaki somewhere...

Time to go back to my black mass in order the curse KOF MI in the same way than CFAS...

I think its so funny how almost everyone endlessly praised Falcoon's artwork when it was just fanart, and now that he's doing official work for them, all of a sudden he sucks balls. Make up your minds people!

I personally think Falcoon is the best thing that's happened in SNK in 4 years. While not all his costumes are great and his artwork can at times be a bit funny, he's certainly infused a big jolt of energy and creativity as far as KOF's characters go, and I'm really glad to finally see progress towards characters getting new looks and styles to them, instead of just rehashing the same old stuff from the past 10 years.

It's because he's a great fan artist, but he's not quite up to pro level yet, especially when compared to some of SNK's other artists. He may have style on his side, but technically, he's still a bit lacking. He doesn't suck...not by a long shot, but he's not quite in the same class as say, Hiroaki or Tonko (yet).

It's strange just how utterly, utterly, different the 1P and 2P outfits looks. The 1P ones I don't think are quite the greatest 3D rendition of the original 2D sprites, but they aren't totally bad in places. The 2P ones are... bizarrely inconsistent. Athena 2P looks so gaudy both in design and in its 3D implementation that it crosses the line of neat-o and into the land of ugly. But some of the total rethinks are good. It's good to have characters redesigned well, no matter how creative and well-executed the original design was.

Yes, the Rock 2P is weak. Surely they could've come up with something more interesting than that!

I'm a little disappointed, simply because of the fact that I've loved all of Falcoon's previous redesigns of KOF characters (the 'KOF2002 Festival', among others), and compared to those, these aren't very impressive. Some are great (K', Soiree (although his first is dreadful at best), Iori), while the rest range between 'meh' and 'WTF?!'.

As far as his work on KOF 2003 is concerned, I think the artworks are nice... but I honestly prefer Nona's artworks for KOF 2002, which IMO are the best of the series. I would probably rank 2003's higher than 2001's, and just about evenly with most of Shinkirou's official character artworks, but I do prefer Nona's colouring. Oh, and if Falcoon was involved with the new designs/characters for 2003 (was he?), I gotta say that I think he did a better job there than with MI.

I do like Falcoon, but ironically it would seem that his fan stuff is better than what he's officially produced for SNK. :/

It's not the same , really having Falcoon work for SNK. Kind of seems wierd for an 'ultimate fan' to be doing work for their.. well fandom. Althought i liked most of his O3' artwork, some of it was just atrocious, Clark is a good example...Though Falcoon still whoops a llama and then some. It's a bit odd, I like Falcoon's style and persona he conveys through his stuff, but Hiroaki's also my favorite just because his stuff is solid.

Haha, I never liked Falcoon's art. But his KOF 2003 work was definitely worse than the stuff he put on his HP. Everyone got the megaman body and batman armor suit muscles and just looked stiff in general.
