"Featuring over 30 playable characters from the history of SNK's best selling games, including the return of fan favourites Mai Shiranui and Yuri Sakazaki and five new characters never before seen in previous KOF games"

Someone needs to fix this typo immediately.

Since I'm bore,  I'm going to play the guessing game:

Saiki
Boss Saiki
Hwa Jai
Raiden (KOF XII might not exist to some people)
Botan

Alot of fun details in that trailer!

- Ash's art of crushing the Magatama could very well be a refresh to his final scene in the arcade opening. Or a story sequence involving him stealing Iori's power.

-Mary and Mai seem to be surrounding Andy in FF team artwork first shown. That scene takes place in PaoPao also.

- Ryo with his classic AoF bike, cool. Yuri looks so tiny there, fitting with her XIII appearance.

-The Magazine Mai and Yuri, and King are speaking of obviously has B. Jenet in it.

-Kula's art in the K' team segment seem to lack her usual jacket, showing her shoulders and back some. That's make a nice alt costume...

The Flashed Stages:
- Iori 95
- Clocktower (Billy stage)
- (New from Trailer) Interior Chapel area, with a craggy red, volcanic looking floor
- The destoryed manor-lookin' stage
- (New from Trailer) KoF Back Alley
- Kyokugen Dojo
- Desert Area
- (New from Trailer) Adel 2003 Aky Noah

- Ash's max cancel takes 2 bars of meter.
- Ralf's Max cancel takes 2 meters as well.
- Marco / Butt in the BG seems to be a similiar pose to his pose in the jungle stage, if not exact same.
- Pao Pao cafe has moving overhead lights. Looks nice!
- Is that Mr. Big in the BG with Terry VS Ryo in the Alley stage?
- Terry's Max Cancel takes 2 dars of meter.
- Ther new cover art is so awesome looking.

The website seems to suggest that every character having 20 colors now, is a default. They call it customization... does this mean we might have some form of color / 2nd palette detail edit?

Kinda suprised they still didn't show console Billy Kane gameplay... but they showed quite a lot! The new stages look very sharp in motion, though I'm personally more a fan of the crowded arcade-original stages.

Doesn't seem to be any roster slips or such in the list of characters in this trailer, unlike those slips of playable Saiki from one of the SNKP videos during arcade release, lol.

Mr. Big is on the USA stage on one of the blimps. The guy in the alley looks like Karman Cole (AOF 3).

Also, there's a rooftop of rose stadium stage.

[SAB-CA]

Well yeah, the guy in the center looks like Cole's outfit. But the guy he's taking too, with the white around his long jacket's neck, resembles Big.

Wow! I'm so hyped!! Is my lunch time at work and I'm not luching at all!! xDD

Impressive cover art with an OUTSTANDING Mai Shiranui in it. This is the Mai I really like

-9 stages so far, WOW!
-20 color palettes. Not sure if this means they will add "alternate palettes" for each character or just more colors    but they will unlockable what is amazing. And we will have icons, cool!
-Adel background??? 5 fighters never seen before?? Raiden, Hwa...and 3 more...
-Winter 2011... Oh well.

-Mary and Mai seem to be surrounding Andy in FF team artwork first shown. That scene takes place in PaoPao also.

- Ryo with his classic AoF bike, cool. Yuri looks so tiny there, fitting with her XIII appearance.

-The Magazine Mai and Yuri, and King are speaking of obviously has B. Jenet in it.

Jenet and Kasumi are in the trailer <3

Yup, that's what I'm figuring too. If this mean each team has an intro in Story mode, then that's REALLY nice.

Does anyone else find it funny to see Leona weilding a gun?  I'm OK with Whip having one, lol.

Jenet and Kasumi are in the trailer <3

Hmm? I missed Kasumi? Where, where?

Pao Pao cafe also flashed. The chapel looking thing is reminiscent of Saiki's quarters, and hell yeah Sky Noah!

Now I hope Adel does make a cut.

Orochinagi interviewed Rising Star Games:

-Color Edit CONFIRMED
-SNKP, Atlus and RSG will release the game simultanously. So end of October WORDLWIDE.


Thanks Gunsmith!

Yes is a very nice addition to Story mode. Team Stories are great and it was kind of sad they fall into oblivion.

Going by everything we've seen so far SNK definitely seems to be treating it like KOFXIII.5 or Special, there is quite a bit of new content. This also makes chances of balance changes more certain.

SNK will probably release this on the Nesica arcade system after the console release (ala the new KOF2002UM version).

Does anyone else find it funny to see Leona weilding a gun?   I'm OK with Whip having one, lol.

Not really...

[SAB-CA]

Yeah, but she's little there! *ahem* I always find it funny in fighters, to see their characters using conventional weapons (unless they use weapons in game anywho.) They're LIVING weapons most of the time, so seeing them with something else, always makes me think "Psh, you don't need that!"

...In Leona's case, though, she DOES need a speedy projectile, lol. We've all seen how long it takes her to toss that earring explosive!

Is that the one with the piano??
-----------------------------------------------------
So guys, now that a NeoMax when used in a Max Cancel only costs two bars (practically confirmed at this point), does anyone else think that Shen is slightly broken now??  He does MAAAASSSSIIIVE damage when Max Cancelling.  I guess others do too but he really stands out in my mind

Well, Shen's max 1 is still 2 bars. He'll need 4 bars, unlike Iori who can use 3 bars to do big damage. Anyway, the game's damage might have gotten a rebalance as well.
