You guys should read this:
There is one other criteria you guys should consider: if you are going to bring back a character, you should also keep in mind any other characters that would go with them.
For example, many of you guys are requesting Vanessa... but no Ramon. Vanessa without Ramon? That's just unthinkable IMO. It's one of those things that have to be. If you guys are just gonna put any random dude/dudette just because you feel like it, then the game might as well be MUGEN.
Well, that's one of the reasons I think Vanessa will get in the next game: Vanessa, Ramon and Blue Mary are all very popular characters.
If they decide to bring Heidern back, they could put him on a team with Chin and Takuma a la 2002UM's Master Team. Chin's place could be filled by Momoko and Takuma's place could be filled by Yuri - then Yuri's place on the Women's team could be filled by Chizuru. Or, as hinted at with Clark's interactions with the Women's Team, it could be Whip that takes Yuri's place.
Personally, I don't think KOFXIII is going to get a UM because I don't think it's the last of this arc. There's still several members of "Those from the Past" wandering around and up to nothing good. I think KOFXIV is going to focus on that and wrap the story up before we get another UM or Dream Match.
If they do make a KOFXIIIUM, though, this is how I want the roster will look (taking into consideration that the roster will be made up of characters from the Ash Saga: KOF2003, XI and XIII.)
