English Voice Dubs are unnecessary.  They wouldn't be HORRIBLE to have or anything, but that time could be spent doing other things.  English Dubs won't make learning moves or playing the game any easier.  They can do it later when they have time to spare.  As of now, focus on other parts of localization.

Like that all important netcode.  Like I've been saying, this is KOF's big chance to get back in the good graces of the FG scene, and actually make more fans than they have in the past.  People are turning on Capcom, Blazblue is niche, MK is starting to die down, and Tekken will be largely meh here until TTT2 gets localized as well.  But to GET that love back, they need to have good netcode, KOF doesn't have enough legs to get there in its absence.  KOF is lukewarm over here reception wise, or at least it was until KOFXII.  It needs that boost.

Well I would assume that because of the way they've designed Color Edit, that they've pretty much locked down any decent attempt at Naked Characters.

Otherwise I wouldn't see any other reason not to let you change colors manually.

Well I'm two hours out from Philly but with no car yet.  Hopefully by NEC I'll be able to drive up there.

Can his projectile really be considered a projectile? I've never seen it travel whole screen.

A semi-projectile, maybe?

In arcade it's used for a dangerous mix up that puts him in a 50/50 situation. From the console version through EVO shows that his projectile speed buffed up which means  his projectile is safer by faster start up and great force block situations that can lead to *cheeseburgers* (guard crush). His fireball isn't a great tool to use as a fireball game because his jump in attack speed makes up for it.

Just what exactly do you mean by "50/50 situation"? I don't get what that means...

A 50/50 situation in general refers to a situation in which the attacker will have two options to attack and the defender has to guess which one the attacker will do in order to avoid damage.  In Duo's case from what I can glean from very limited knowledge, it means right after his QCB+A he can either go into a low (I think c.B, excuse my ignorance if wrong) and confirm into f.AxxRekkas or he can go I believe hop Bxxf.B and confirm off of that into a BnB Rekka combo.  Because of the Frame Advantage Duo would have off of the projectile, the opponent's only option is to block either high or low and if the opponent guesses wrong, Duo does damage and can put him right back in that same situation.

All his mixup potential makes me want to play him a lot, the only problem is...for some reason I can never finish a Rekka chain consistently no matter the character.  02UM Kyo, Fei-Long, Karin, Yang and so on, when it comes to Rekkas I'm terrible X_X. 

And again, if most of my above information (other than the general explanation of the 50/50) is incorrect, I apologize.

If this starts looking like Street Fighter: The Movie, I'm gonna die. Also, Isaiah and I saw a live action film on Netflix about KoF, but we opted not to watch it for fear it would be as bad as DBZ was in films.

That film, just like the DBZ film and the Last Airbender film, didn't happen.  Never happened at all.  Just fairy tales.

Kensou and the Joe/Hwa pics are reasons why Color Edit can be a good thing.

Nude Raiden...pretty much the reason why I don't complain too much when games don't do it.

Where did this come from in the first place?

It came from GAF, dunno where the picture originated. I obviously assume it's Fake, but I just left it there for you guys to do the judgement.

Anyways, KOFXIII PV video is up on Japan Playstation Store, downloading it atm to see which one it is. First video of KOFXIII on the PStore! That is great! Funny thing is that it came the same day where the Japanese Store is getting bombarded by all these TGS trailers.

Normally, I write off everything as fake, but that's just the thing.  What's the point?  It's not a troll if everyone already believes Rekka Kyo and Mr. Karate are in the game.  And what's the point of putting 1 of 7 when no one would think twice if the 6 slots were all there was.  And then a French one with 1 of 8 AND adding the missing Flame Iori?  No, it doesn't add up, that's too much work for something so...trivial. 

If this came out before the picture with the supposed Rekka Kyo and Mr. Karate, I can see why attempt the troll and putting so much work into it.  After...it's like...what's the point?  It won't make people any more or less steadfast on whether they believe they're in or not.  And why would one picture forget something so obvious as Flame Iori?  It doesn't make sense...it's weird whether it's real OR fake.

That, and one pic has "1 of 7" and the other has "one of 8" , i don't have a 360, so anyone teach me please.

Hmm, you're right.

Now I'm really confused.  Why would EX Iori of all characters be left out of one of those?  Unless maybe if they are unlock keys (which they seem to be), he was already unlocked?  Or if this is in the memory page (aka, where you would go to look up everything you've downloaded and is in your hard drive just far) maybe EX Iori hasn't been unlocked.

Ugh...again...this would be easier with the context, where did these pics come from?

Okay, so why does one picture have Iori w/Flames and the other doesn't?

If that's legit, i see people whining about "paying to unlock" things, the same way people whined about paying to unlock things in BB.

Well, unless it came from the same person who dropped that picture with Rekka Kyo and Mr. Karate with the rest of the new character additions, I don't see this person having the motivation, or time for that matter to even forge something like this.  But we don't know what this means in context.  Without the context, this picture is pretty meaningless as it's telling us things we already knew.
