it seems like a brawler with instanced missions, merged with online rpg style lobbies in the form of towns.
characters confirmed so far: Kyo, Terry, Joe, Mai, Athena, Rugal and Kula.
The team switching looks strange though, I think it would work better if each player just mains one character and just team up with other players.
the thing is, I guess there won’t be any character creation, so I understand why some people relate this to Xmen Legends a bit. the avatars will be all KOF characters it seems instead of original fighters. Be prepared for tons of clones.
someone should put it on youtube, cause that site takes a while to load it, and there’s pop-ups. But it sure is a unique take on a KOF spinoff. wonder if it’ll be on par with Phantasy Star Universe? (and wonder if it’ll even be released on consoles in the west.)
there even might be a guard system and revolutionary systems to create a new generation of KOF games! it might even surpass Maximum Impact and Neowave easily! plus it’s a new story arc so there might be some surprises.
plus, it proves fighting games don’t need to play like street fighter to be fighting games. it’s said there will be versus play besides co-op. (and remember, Fatal Fury was the first fighting game to support CO-OP.)
