Blue Mary (Memory of Stray Wolves design! Needs Android 18 colors too!)
Oswald (To Cool to not be here)
Vanessa (She's MADE for HD mode!)
Tung Fu Rue (So many DBZ reference colors in this game, so we need Muten Roshii!)

Adelheid (Honorable mention. Really should be the playable Sub Boss)

[Gravelneed]

Characters that should be in XIII are:

Adelheid
Malin
Oswald
Momoko
Botan

Since they were brand new characters that debuted during the Ash Saga.

The character I want to be playable the most is Chizuru. I know the chance of this happening is practically none but it's hard not to have you old main playable at all. It's not like she's a side character. At least you Iori players still have him in the game in some form. Sadly Chizuru can't do anything but sulk without her powers.

I don't know, if SNKP gave a reason to revive mature and vice, the new face team should be here too

Vanessa Ramon and Blue Mary made a great team, the anti kyokugen guys too, add may lee, xiangfei and hinako, and the game is done for me

Here are the characters I wish that could make it to KOFXIII:

Momoko - Because she is adorable and is so fun to play her, but she needs better DMs.
Oswald - Can't go wrong with this guy, one of the best designs done by SNKP.
Yamazaki - I will kill to see him in HD, this guy is just badass all the way.
Adelheid - He must be in the game because he plays a important role in the story, besides he is awesome.
Vanessa - Another character that is so awesome, I can't wait to see her in fluid HD sprites.
Shion - This is another excellent character by SNKP, she is just awesome! And yes I said She, because I refuse to think she is a guy. Damn it SNKP, you and your stupid decisions!

Possible Teams with these characters:
Athena, Kensou & Momoko - Neo Psycho Sodiers
Takuma, Chin & Oswald - Old Masters
Ash, Shen & Oswald - XI Hero Team
Duo Lon, Vanessa & Oswald - Undercover Assassins
Mai, King & Vanessa - Beautiful Women Team
Athena, Yuri & Momoko - Teen Team
Raiden, Hwa & Yamazaki - Criminal Team

And Adelheid can have 3 life bars, that is all he needs. lol

Just as a point of interest, I'd like to mention that the arcade version of XII was released on April 10th, 2009 with 20 characters. XIII released on July 14th, 2010 with 31 playable characters.

So, 15 months (and four days) = 11 new characters (minus two head-swaps if you like, for at least 9 completely new playable characters).

If you imagine XIII getting released next month, for the sake of argument let's assume June 14th, that would be 11 months between arcade and console versions.

Theoretically, that would be enough for at least six console exclusives. I doubt they would include that many, though. Even if they had the time, I expect they'd make some of those DLC or something.

Yea, I sure did. Also, this page has some cool ideas for the stages:

I'm not sure if those were just blueprints for the first ones, or maybe they could be the extra stages?

you guys are forgetting that they probably had started woerking on most of these news sptrites back in 12 dev time. most of them where actually on the disc info, so i dont know just how many sprites they made in that time.

some fun teams for 13 console:

yamazaki, oswald, adelheid.

geese, krauser, mr big or billy.

mary, vanessa, anhel.

[Rex Dart]

The sprites were not on the disk. Only the names were. They probably wanted to leave themselves lots of leeway for future DLC.

And while they probably did start work on the new XIII sprites during the tail end of XII's development, you can assume they did the same thing with XIII's console sprites.

[bzerk]

I Vote  GEESE HOWARD!

Followed by vanessa, billy, SHERmie, and hmmmm billy or lin I guess

[marchefelix]

Adelheid above all

[asociale]
