So I challenge the assertion that classic SNK was somehow better at making KOF than SNKP.
I have to agree to this. SNKP did seem kinda off kilter during SvC Chaos / NGBC days, and KoF XI was a good improvement over 2003.
But what SNKP has managed to do with the most recent games, seems to prove to me that they're the best at being SNK at the moment. There's been very few mis-steps, as far as preserving the idealogy and identity of pre-Playmore SNK.
At any rate, onto the PAX Stuff:Hope we see some video soon, or... something. I wouldn't be suprised if Saiki just wasn't unlocked yet. They did mention that Saiki and Billy were unlocked on different systems each at the JP loketest.
