A just for fun post, don’t take this too seriously, no flaming here.
What 12 characters would you like to see in the next game?
1: Oswald (Do I even need to give a reason?)
2: Yamazaki
3: King
4: Billy Kane
5: Rugal
6: Chizuru
7: Eiji Kisaragi (cool character, adds some variety, terribly underused in the series)
8: Vanessa
9: Gato
10: Tizoc
11: Kushnood Butt (Another Shoto, but easily the most badass Shoto)
12: Rock Howard
I’d like to see 3 brand new characters introduced. Perhaps one can be affiliated with Kain from Garou; I’d love to see a hybrid character based on Kain and Gato’s moves.
Edit: Revised
20 is a pretty large number, you dont really have to make tough descisions to throw in 20 extra. Why not if you can make KOF XII 30 characters, divided into 10 sensible teams? That would be a tougher list and prob more fun to create.
I.e
Ash/Shen/ Duolon
Terry/Andy/Joe
Kim/Raiden/Mai
Ryo/Robert/King
Kyo/Beni/Goro
Kensou/Chin/Athena
Clark/Ralf/Leona
Vice/Mature/Iori
Elizabeth/K’/Oswald
Vanessa/Ramon/Blue Mary
That would be a pretty solid line-up, IMO.
All that plus
Billy/Yamazaki/Gato
Yashiro/Shermie/Chris
I perfer Gato to team with Tizoc and B.Jenet in my opinion. Go Garou!
I’m sure Yamazaki and Billy can find a new teamate. I would love to see Seth return. He can take Mary’s spot with the agent team, since Mary teamed w/ Yama and Billy before.
Edit: Revised to 12 characters.
