If that is indeed true, it will kill some hype lolololol

someone at gamefaq posted this saying the story and the dlc characters revealed (apparently he got it at neogaf)

Weird, I haven't found that post in NeoGAF at all. But I do know that Magegg post in SpekSNK, haven't seen him elsewhere.

Yet the DLC characters been Boss-like characters is weird.

I knew that I had seen that nick somewhere but I forgot where, now I remember him

[SAB-CA]

As much as I like return characters... I'd be pretty happy if that turns out to be true. Ron would give me a taste of Lin returning, and Botan would be a taste of Whip returning, but with loads of power and a moveset that sounds normally reserved for overpowered weird looking men in KoF (or fighters, in general...)

Having the new stuff retroactively effect the old modes is also a great idea.

Alternative endings for pre-established teams also sounds great.

I can say that info has nothing to do with NeoGAF though... maybe it's the GameAnimationForum, or something? Don't see it showing up anywhere in searches...

Oh, and I'd personally wish for Boss-Saiki to NOT be playable... but whatever. if he ends up being a well-rounded character, then I'm sure SOMEONE would like him...

No EX moves for the characters sounds a little... eh, but maybe that'd just mean they have really good regular attacks? It might make a huge mess for cancels and HD mode, and it would seem kinda lazy, but if they're well-animated, fully new characters, then maybe they could be forgiven....

[DarKaoZ]

^ Yeap, I searched again and even typed some of the same text in NeoGAF and nothing came up in the searches. Browsed the Arcade and Console threads in there at least 5 pages back and nothing.

But I must say, the assumptions of those DLC characters make lots of sense. Specially after RSG "5 characters never before seen in KOF" statement. Since we would have Ron, Botan, Hwa, Saiki and Boss Saiki, then those could make sense as characters never before seen in another KOF that is not XIII. I'm counting Arcade and Console as the same, since it's the same game but just redefined in consoles.

Thank you.
So there won't be 8 console version exclusive characters?

[Diavle]

Sounds like BS.

I would love to say they are, but that is just me wishing. So far there has been lots of confusion on this. SNKP/ATLUS/RSG haven't given any concrete information regarding the extra characters, all we know so far is that Billy, Saiki, EX Iori and the 2 blobs will make it to the game as DLC or in disc. Nothing more, nothing less. =/

[sibarraz]

I don't know, for one hand, the news seems to be very well detailed but making sense at the same time, in the other hand, I can't buy that ron and botan will be boss tier like and DLC at the same time, considering that said characters will be banned, I can't see the potential costumers of DLC for fighters (us) will want to pay for them if they most likely will be banned

That being said, I think that people has lots of troubles with the word ''broken'' IMO raiden and K' were never broken, overpowered, yes, broken, no, ivan ooze is broken lol

Still, some bold prediction

Well, this rumour confirms my theory that those DLC characters will came with exclusive stages, and I seriously doubt that SNKP will only make 3 dlc and that's it, they will announce more characters, but not now because it will give a  big nerdrage for having more characters being DLC than console exclusive.

So, I'm sure than soon we will see Ex Kyo, and maybe eiji or rock, but who knows, those blobs reallly are hard to distinguish

[DarKaoZ]

K wasn't broken, he was powerful. But Raiden was Broken IMO, I mean you could see everybody when playing against a Raiden that they were afraid to attack, just because of those drop kicks. And it's not that the Drop Kicks were the only problem, Raiden had other moves that make him strong, that + insane Drop Kicks made him a Broken character for me. Obviously, to make a character Broken you must know how to use him, if not then he will not look broken.

[sibarraz]

I don't discuss that, but for me, being broken is that any idiot could pick him and get free wins with it, but to use well raiden, you really had to be better than just that, when charging the kicks, you still lose some good weapons with raiden, and is one errror, and you screw it (for both sides)

Like I said, overpowered, but never really broken, at least for me

[Delta]

If that Ron and Botan thing is true, then i can die happy, but for some reason i think that guy is just doing the old trollin' around, because DarKaoz couldn't find anything in NeoGAF.

[arstal]

I'm just hoping that there won't be anything that causes a banlist debate- I'm hoping it's pretty clear whether any of the new chars need to be banned or not.

[Nagare_Ryouma]

Sounds like BS.

Sounds, looks and smells like BS.
If those were secret characters on the disk....I might buy it, but for download? They will try to make something 90% of the fanbase will want to get, and be willing to pay for.
These 2 characters will be fan favourites, no Ex versions, no new characters, no never-before seen characters.

[IceWater]

Regular saiki turning into his boss form briefly during neomax + everything else that's been said makes me 99% sure this guy's making stuff up. It just wouldn't make much sense. I would be all for having some new, not-broken, characters though.
