Takuma:
- qcf + D: has autogaurd properties
- qcf + D: can nullify fireballs
- db, f + D: seemed to beat small jumping attacks quite well

Hmmm, very interesting! I'm glad to see him get Autoguard on a regular version of Kyokugen Kohou. Could the , or even version not nullity fireballs before? I always wondered about that.

I wouldn't expect Hien' to beat hops. So it kinda gives Takuma an awkward Anti-Air? Very odd, but cool!

Thanks for the inputs!

I'm sure that the girl in the background isn't charlotte, i'm 100% sure that the girl is janne from world heroes, this will not be her first time doing a cameo in a kof game

This reminded me that rumour that world heroes characters were originally planned for 94, I never knew if that was true or not, but well, some characters were fun to see, like janne, hanzo and fuuma, mudman, hell, use rasputin as SNKP dan (but please, not make him bottom tier just for the sake of it)

that is definitely charlotte! not only charlotte but her in her Shin Samurai Spirits garb and hair style! she's my girl! ^-^

[SAB-CA]

Aye, and Janne never had Blue as an element of her outfit. She's more of a Black-and-white type of girl.

[spoiler] I'd still love to see Janne and Charlotte get to fight in an SNK VS ADK Crossover...[/spoiler]

Also, here are some impressions from *~Cristina~* on NeoEmpire Forums:
http://www.neoempire.com/forum/showpost.php?p=400923&postcount=242

Been playing a lot of the beta test ver. of the console ver.

Mainly focus on yuri, kula & vice ( which is my team)

Yuri:

jump hit box seems change, doesn't really hit anything above her upper body.

Hcb is a command grab, ver still the same, ex has less invincible frames

fwd can be combo from / , which potentially good on corner
hd combo.

ex raiohken does less guard gauge dmg , like 10% now.


Vice:

jump + hit box is smaller.

Feels like Hcf + > c/d is much easier to do now.


Kula:

ex rayspin haven't got any invisible frames , still goes thru lows.
Think it still + f on block tho.

dp hit box back to 2k2 ver.

hd combo is a bit different now.


so far that's all the change that I found .

k', raiden , liz are still good, but not as good as the old xiii

[AzureTAG]

Kula's DP  back to 2002 hit box in a bad way or good way?

[SAB-CA]

I have no idea, lol. That's all she wrote! But with that idea out there, perhaps someone else can investigate further...

[omegaryuji]

I got no love for Kula, so hopefully that means the knockdown hit has trouble hitting grounded opponents.

[Delta]

But the knockdown hit (aka the 2nd hit from her DP) didn't hit crouched opponents in the arcade version. So who knows if that 2K2 DP is a bad or good thing.

Good thing: the OG 2k2 players
bad thing: rest

[Sonikku]

It makes me wonder this but I really wish they made saiki look like this (the bride one) wouldve been perfect for him instead of having an ash sprite headswap. oh well least their trying to save money for other things for the game i guess =/

i hope well at least get to hear how many extra characters will be in game and dlc. somebody hopefully asking something this important (if an snkp representative is there ofcourse).

I was checking the japanese site from Snk Playmore.
There are some really nice pics of the Story mode, it seems you select a route (Ash, Adelheid or Heidern) and you follow the events prior to the tournament. You can also see characters like Bao, Griffon or Jennet in some pics.

lol that is awesome.

But...

Yeah, I'm liking Cristina idea more. lol

[marchefelix]

So many cameos... it's getting kinda hard to keep track of them.

Somebody NEEDS to take a suggestion: make a cameo thread for KOF XIII.

To hell with that: make it a cameo thread for every KOF game made!

(Yes, I am aware that not every KOF game has cameos in them)

[SAB-CA]

You really think we need one? I'd figure a thread on the idea would pretty much be

"Hey, did you see ____?"
"Yeah."
"OK, COOL!"
*repeat 20 times*
-close thread-

SVB is repeating what was found at EVO and Otakon, just now with an additional pic or 2.

Now, an interesting bit of discussion on the idea, that someone on ON had, is that the cameos from the past (Charlotte, Kagami, Hanzo), are present because Saiki has unsettled the flow of time, and it's causing odd anomalies that are bringing warriors from different times into the time of KoF.

This is a very, very interesting idea, because it would open up console guest characters from pretty much anything SNKP has ever made.

Gen-an could recognize Mai as his bloodline, Eiji and Zantetsu could team up, Hanzo could be stuck with Malin and Nagase, Kagami could test his flames aganist those of the Kusanagi, Kaede and Rock could see they're brothers from related mothers, Shigen could match powered arms VS Maxima...

I don't even know if we should see this as "unlikely" anymore, lol. The amount of Cameo's popping up from random games in these new stages DOES seem to carry a theme... It would be interesting to see DLC story modes dedicated to random SNKP characters clashing with the KoF cast.
