As long as the fool has K49’s moves and possibly the same phrases (even if they have to get a new VA) I’ll take a redesign.
he looks like sasuke in a krizalid outfit. and the new 3d bgs look 10 times better than the old 2d ones. though 2d is far more beautiful if its done well like in other snk/capcom games.
But like, who was missing from Orochi that wasn’t in Nests, or 2k2? Eiji, Chizuru, sports team…anyone else?
One pic of 2k2um here: http://www.famitsu.com/event/tgs/2008/1218708_1829.html
Looks like theres a full guard bar 
Seems like Jae Hoon and Kim are in the back of the UM pic.
-Tha Hindu
That’s not Kim. If Kim was in the background they would have done more detail than that. OG2002 did cameos with more detail. Not to mention Kim’s in KOF 2002UM.

Looks like Lin, Xiang Fei, Hinako, and King are back. So is Bao. Takuma is teamed with Chin and Heidern. The Kyo clones are back too.
And seems teamed with Lin and Shingo is none other than Jhun.
also, shingo jhun kasumi foxy maylee angel and that new guy
I see Foxy and Angel too! I think i see Kusanagi as well, but i dont see K9999…
edit: ah beaten to it lol.
Maybe the new guy is a K9999 replacement? an he’s got a similar movelist to K9999?
Official site is up

The artwork looks fucking amazing!
Everything’s looking really good so far.
New guy looks interesting, do we even know his name yet?
Nameless.
Seems il be getting this. Still we need this on XBL as well.
Wait… I don’t remember Diana ever being a playable character. Wasn’t she just a woman who would pop up during Kula’s intros/wins?
Agreed. The also enjoy the artwork this time around =]
SNK!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! <333
Man! I love KOF =]
EDIT: What about characters from the GBA games? Wasn’t there 1 or 2 that were never seen on consoles but only on portables.?
Thats why i said ADD diana:arazz: Still foxy is good enough for now.
Gotta admit my expectations for this are lower then KOF98UM, due to game preference, but so far so good. Hiroaki being on this gives me more hope though.
My hopes
The missing moves and normals that weren’t in 2k2 are returned
The BC cancel system is scrapped in favor of something better
Some gameplay balancing on par with what happened in KOF98UM, which was 99% done right.
fix the numerous and massive bugs and hitbox issues
Make the game a little less spammy overall
Athena’s in her 99 outfit instead of her 2k, 2k1, or 2k2 outfit.
GTFO. I love Athena’s 2k2 outfit.
I second this. All though her 99 costume wasn’t bad either.
This is just fuckin awesome, almost as good as XII, if not better. :tup:
Anyone knows how is that nameless guy called? (the possible K9999 replacement)
