Sure thing. Bring a PS3 stick.
Well, the main reason they didn’t add the characters that you listed is because they never showed up as playable characters in KOF’99-'02. That was the whole point of the UM games, they included every character who appeared in that game’s ‘Saga’.
Of course, I still would have really wanted to see Mr. Big and Saisyu in as more than background cameos.
Right, which is why I was suprised to see Goenitz and Geese in there. Goenitz died in 96, and Geese was a striker in 2000.
i got flame iori but something that bothers me is that there isn’t any visual cues to tell me “HEY!, there is another character behind here” maybe im not seeing something.
Flame Iori seems powerful right out the box 
Well, the Orochi Characters were never visibly behind the New Faces Team either, and in 2k2UM there’s a lot of EX characters, none of which are visibly highlighted. I guess it’s just tradition.
Geese and Goenitz were playable in the 2002 on PS2 that was released along with 2003 in a dual pack. (They were straight ports from SVCC in that game.)
Has there been a KOF where the character slot had two completely different characters for example Geese Howard is the main character but hit select and Rock Howard is on the other side. Or is it always EX versions?
Are the dlc/unlocked characters banned?
no
King Of Fighters Neowave
Game was like a refined KOF 2002 with some different gameplay mechanics, added Jhun & playable Young Geese. They had JUST DEFEND in it and a few other things; anyways…
Normal / Hit Select (Hidden Behind Highlighted Character)
K’ or Billy / Young Geese Howard (Not 100% sure, cant remember)
Kyo / Kusanagi
Kula / Angel
Saisyu (Kyos Dad) / Omega Rugal
Whip / Vanessa
Chang / Maylee
Shingo / Seth
Maxima / Ramon
Jhun Hoon / Kim Kaphwan
Yashiro, Chris, Shermie / There Orochi Forms
hmmmm… think some are incorrect but whatever, haven’t played the game in years.
…FFFFffffuuuuuuu—… I really want to see this happen sooner than later. I’m patient, but only to a point. :razzy: At the very least, I’m still holding out some small semblance of hope for the Agents Team to make it into XIII later on as DLC, somehow.
I really feel that a lot of people sleep on SNK’s backlog of characters. Hopefully XIII brings more awareness to how awesome they are to the masses.
And Flame Iori :lovin:
Oh, I didn’t know they were counting the console ports.
Strange how they left out Riot of the Blood Iori. He was console exclusive.
I followed KOF all the way to 2003, where I stopped giving a shit cause of the Ash saga. Wasn’t as good as the build-up to the Orochi battle or the NESTS saga with K’ and the Kyo clones. Thankfully, KOFXIII is the last game in the Ash saga and the developers can get started on the long lost Dragon Spirit arc.
Yo, I really need some Maylee love.
no EX Kyo theme released yet? I want that shit.
