The King of Fighters XIII 2ND |OT| Thread: Final Edition

[DarKaoZ]

So we have this so far:

Confirmed:
1. Billy Kane (XII disc info then confirmed by SNKP)

Possible due to proof:
1. Saiki (XIII Countdown speech bubble artwork)
2. Iori95/98 (XII disc info)
3. Chang (XIII Blog artwork)
4. Momoko (XIII Blog artwork)
5. Malin (XIII Blog artwork)
6. Oswald (XIII Blog artwork)

Rumored with no proof:
1. Botan
2. Jhun
3. Choi
4. Adelhein
5. Yamazaki
6. Mary
7. Eiji

Well SNKP does have a lot of characters to work on if most of them are true. lol

[MUSOLINI]

I'm hearing RUMORS, too:

[spoiler]-Six extra characters: 95 Rival Team [Billy, Iori 95 (no 98), Eiji] + Kyo 98 (still Hero Team), Saiki (¿alone?), someone else (¿Botan?+Saiki and Ash = Ash team?)
-Some changes for 2 teams in Story mode[/spoiler]

of course, are only rumors, and not sure from where are coming

lets hope your rumors are jut that, rumors.

also how is that roster with proof? because we have seen a single spritework of a said character?

[sibarraz]

actually yes, those are rumors with proof, plus all those characters will made sense in the game

[DarKaoZ]

Well SNKP did some sprite work on Chang, Malin, Momoko and Oswald on their KOFXIII Blog. http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof-xiii/blog/archives/2010/08/post_28.html

That is the only proof of them, which makes them plausible to appear in the game. Yet that might be all they have on them.

[MetalThrashingMadman]

Let's hope that's all they got on those characters (except for Oswald, he's swell).

[SAB-CA]

Yeah, well the only character I wanna see with "proof" from the Blog is:



*cackle* Charge motion, cookie throwin grapplers FTW! *Jubei/Popeye style laugh*

Ok, I'd like Chang and Oswald too. Chang would just look too awesome like that in gameplay, that's a top-tier sprite. I'd gladly take Chin, Jubei, and Oswald as my conterfeit "Team Jiji" edit team, lol. Though I'd still like to see Tung, expecially if he had Real Bout series style power.

At any rate, I hope they don't waste any time on an EX Kyo. EX Iori, ok, sure, but Kyo? Might as well make him Shingo instead.

The prospect of a fleshed-out Saiki sounds like a good console extra, TBH. The "White Ash" version, not the nude muscle man thing. Maybe if it looked more like Mukai, but not as it is.

[Remzi]

You know, Billy / Raiden / Hwa + Kim / Choi / Chang would be nice, but unfortunately it won't happen. Chang's already a cameo.

[SAB-CA]

Known... but that doesn't matter yet. He could easily just NOT APPEAR when he's fighting.

Not to mention the game-sprite design is vastly different then that one. hey could just chock up the cameo to a similiar-looking cosplay.

[sibarraz]

or just make it like the ps2 version of 2002, where king just dissappears from the stage

[Remzi]

Lol'd.

He probably won't appear though simply because the cameo. It would be nice, I'd like to hope, but yeah.

True that. Of course that cameo is from the official blog and they stated he'd be cameo in the blog too.

[Dandy J]

cameo means nothing. from the beginning snk's goal was to eventually redraw everyone in the new style. its just a matter of time and priority. most likely theyve been continuously working on sprites, including but maybe not limited to those theyve shown on their blog. the state of progress of those characters is unknown so just wait and see

[Kane317]

If, indeed it's going to be the '95 incarnation of Iori, then he's going to be missing his trademark Scum Gale command throw.  I sense a riot coming...

[SAB-CA]

So, where's Atlus with the US side of SNKP's Eastern news info? I suppose today is a Holiday in the good ole US of A... but wonder how long we'll have to wait?

I sense a riot coming...

A Riot of the Blood, perhaps?  I'd be perfectly fine with EX Iori, if he gets his Orochi Iori-style Maiden Masher back. Kinda miss Leona's creepy howls during Rebel Spark, too.. (that'd be great to see as an alternative end to an EX Slash Saber DM)

[marchefelix]

So... like I said about 12 pages back:

So Billy has been confirmed as a console exclusive character... it's only a matter of time
before he gets his own thread in the Character Discussion section.

Speaking of that, I would love to see a thread for Saiki and Dark Ash. I know they aren't
playable characters, but I bet they will be in the console port. Also, I'm pretty sure people
have SOMETHING to say about them....

Yay or nay?

[MUSOLINI]

actually yes, those are rumors with proof, plus all those characters will made sense in the game

how are theyn rumors with proof when snkp only made a single non animated sprite to show how said character would look in XIII style. if anything, id bet money on it that these characters WON'T be in the game. im talking about the ones weve seen i sprtie form from snkp themselves. dont you think its funny that they wouldnt show a character thats actually gonna be in it (billy) but show characters of which they made 1 spritework (not animated) that are not gonna be in it.
