all this good news and it aint even thursday yet, color me impressed.
on the 01 note,
01 > 94, 96, 99, 00, 03, 12.
it aint even close to being the worst kof. add neowave and the 3d kofs to that list as wll. nowhere near worst actually.
It’s called Leona Blade. All the NeoMaxes’ names and commands are on the official site.
Her new DM looks to be made of multiple Grand Saber animations. I would have preferred good ol’ Rebel Spark, but they probably added this one just so she has something to Max Cancel into her NeoMax from.

You make a char top tier and easy enough, even if they’re the lamest thing ever people will play them.
What are you talking about?

Believe he’s refering to the comments on Kasumi being used a lot in 2002UM, and character use in general.
I agree of course, but as a person who likes her as a character and to play, if it increases her chances of getting in another KoF, I don’t care what their reasons are.
"Come back whenyou GROW APP!" Would be fun to see what kinda Engrish she could come up with now…
Shhhh, that’s in moonspeak, therefore it doesn’t apply :woot: But seriously, yeah, I know 
Thats why I think they added it, too, and exactly WHY I wanted them to add it.
Her Neomax looks like an over-powered version of Rebel Spark anywho, so I’m kinda glad they didn’t just give her the spark as a DM. Woulda looked cheap to overlap the same animation with just a different particle effect. This is actually something new!
Lets hope they do the same for Clark & others…
I dont see any reason why it wouldn’t do well. So far, this game has been recieved fairly positively. I hope the game has a decent netcode though.
If it has NGBC netcode, it could be playable at least, so far the NGBC netcode feedback has been “good”, we have to wait a bit more to make a proper comparison.

… I haven’t seen much tourney play with 2002UM (don’t wanna spoil the game much before I get to play; like to go in with somewhat of a clean slate), but if Kasumi’s “cheap” -shrug- Can anyone explain how? Her aerial and ground air slashes? something about her counters? Having not played 2k2UM, I’m quite curious.
And again, if tourney-abusing of the girl gets her into a new KoF… then keep up the abuse! I’d love to see her back. (Then I can have the “3 blue hair’d chicks!” team!)

already watched this one (pre-K) ?
has been uploaded tomorrow (06/10 (japanese time))lol
I don’t know all of the details but I can take a crack at it.
- She has a great set of normals. She has at least 2 VERY good ones for every occasion.
2.Her basic BC combo is piss easy and takes, at least, a whopping 60% of life for just having 2 bars. Even more if she has enough for a HSMD.
3.She builds meter FAST. Not boss fast, but fast enough to get the bars needed to end a round EXTREMELY fast.
4.Her overhead is LONG, fast, and holds the opponent in place for said BC combo.
That’s all I got though.
Sorry to continue going off topic, but KASUMI is top tier, REALLY?
I didn’t saw that coming!

Thanks much for even that much! Nice to hear it all, though… she’s a pretty unusual choice to be so strong, and that’s much more interesting than many of the alternatives. So this is all from the rebalanced Tougeki edition, eh? The same one we’re getting on Live… I loved playing her in XI, and I look forward to learning her differences here.
I know how you feel, lol. She’s always seemed so ignored whenever I read up on games staring her… so this sounds like a nice change of pace!
I got a bit more too from CX:
Seems her jumping CD is very good as it just sits out there after it’s been activated. Kinda like a jumping short from SF2 but with more damage and range. I’d have to say it’s like 98 Chris’ CD but even better because it’s faster. It increases the threat of being hit by a Anywhere Juggled HSMD on counter hit by a large margin.
Her rekkas are safe as long as you don’t finish them and they build meter FAST.
her jump cd is normal its her jump d thats the king shit. her prox ub is fast and leads to big damage, usually prox ub’s only have one of those properties. her rekkas punish a lot of not-so punishable things on block or whiff. she has overhead into max big damage and even bigger damage off everything at low life. her qcb+k is basically a semi-safe dp that can lead into 50% with meter
she is quickly becoming the anchor of choice for those who cant do nameless combos and want to play a(n even) simpler character
