Why does it seem like "that guy with the long stick" always ends up being top tier in every fighting game ever? Hopefully they're just exaggerating about Billy being broken though, he didn't look too overpowered from the gameplay vids so far but who knows?

That is good, that way we can all hear his lovely "HEY HEY HEY!!" over and over and over again.

BTW, I'm curious to see Rising Star Games trailer, I want to see whats new on it.

i'm not too terribly worried about billy being overpowered. on the iphone version (which i CAN'T STOP PLAYING!) some of his moves were kinda slow to come out and his hit boxes are massive! you can whack his stick without touching his body and he takes it!

[Running Wild]

That's pretty much Billy for you.

See any Fatal Fury game.

[MUSOLINI]

they got his kof 97 sprite problem? there where combos in 97 only possible on billy because of the hitbox on that stick of his.

Just to clarify :

At the moment, there will be 5 new characters :
- Billy and Saiki on DISC (unlockable characters)
- EX Iori as a DLC
- 2 characters as DLC according to Arcadia Magazine or Frionel


For now, there is not 8 new characters for console version !

Billy Kane is considered by Frionel to be broken, because it's so easy to hit confirm for a HD combo with :
close   (3 hits) >    >  > etc ...

Wait, what!? So we were right to think that we will only see 5 characters? Not 5 new characters for the console and 3 as DLC?

Bah, this is lame, having 8 characters would had been amazing. =/

My brain is overloading!?.... Yes, give me more I will O.D. in Kof info.

I think the person you quoted didn't phrase it well. We are getting a total of 8 characters, 5 on disc (two have been revealed so far), plus 3 on dlc (one revealed so far) the wording is off, but i think he meant characters we know of....hopefully

Now I'm totally confused, I will keep thinking it's 8 characters total until SNKP says otherwise.

[Sharnt]

There are only 2 new characters on the disc, Blilly, Saiki, more 3 DLC character Ex iori, two still unknown.

So a total of 5 new characters into the game.

RSG/Atlus/Snkp had just a bad communication about that (And people want always new char make it spreading again and again).

Frionel is saying it, so if it's not true i'm going to rape him with Billy pole if he lied

- 2 characters as DLC according to Arcadia Magazine or Frionel

Does anyone know what issue of Arcadia that is?
I bought the latest issue but it has nothing on new characters :/

[UltimaOriginal]

so far, today, we learn and saw a lot of stuff :
-RSG screwed up in their trailer by saying "5 new characters that have never been in KOF before" (it's 5more chraracters that the arcade version, ON DISC)
- there will be 3DLC characters (we know only Iori 98' so far) (I heard somewhere else those DLC characters are supposed to be overpowered(at least a bit :p) ALT versions of chraracters already in the game (like Iori))
-ON DISC, 5characters more than the arcade version, so far we know Billy and Saiki.

Damn, it's really confusing. In the last sentence he emphasized "on disc", and mentioned Billy and Saiki, but not EX Iori, who considered to be in that 5 new characters...

That was released a few weeks ago and it was from a Flyer and not from Arcadia Magazine.
