I was excited to hear about that at first, and then I realized they were all being sold individually. Cmon SNK, an oldie bundle surely! The online will also most likely suck.

I keep seeing people bring this up and I have to ask:  Which KOF series have you been keeping tabs on?  Top tiers are constantly being seen in high level play.  You get some other characters like Andy popping up here and there.  Like always.  This isn't new.  You can look at any KOf and no matter how balanced people say it is, you still see top tiers A LOT.  In 98UM Krauser is everywhere.  You'll see more variety as time goes by but the top tiers will still be a constant sight.

I know diversity has been a problem with past KOF's. I was wondering if anyone was hoping KOF XIII would be different. I kinda was.

Bloody Hell! Look at the damage Raiden can deal!

Also, is anyone disappointed the lack of diversity in the high level matches? I mean, I was really looking forward to maining K', but now I'm sick of seeing him! Ya think this is a result of balancing issues or just to do with the fact the game is new and needs time for high level play to branch out and evolve?

I'm honestly surprised that they didn't ban Mature's Infinite.

Same, that's the first thing that popped to my mind. I wonder if that's what they meant by "overkill".

I guess Dream matches are still on the cards, but it's still gonna be heartbreaking when cool characters are dropped for new fighters of variable quality.

Thanks but no thanks.

A lot of my fave characters are new and original characters to the series (Ramon, Shen, Vanessa, Oswald, Angel, Yashiro, Shermie, K', Maxima, Duo Lon etc.) so I'm more eager to see what new goodness SNK can come up with.

Thats what I meant, established characters like the Spy Team and New Faces team. New characters will mean they are less likely to return.

KOF has so many fan favourite characters that never made it to XIII that it makes absolutely no sense to pile more new characters into the series. This just pushes classics into obscurity and disappoints a lot of people. I'd love for SNK's new policy to be something on the lines of working towards as complete a reunion of established characters as possible with XII/XIII style sprites being added for the Outlaw team, Spy team etc with every installment, along side refinement of gameplay mechanics.
