Moved the tier balancing talk and reopened the balance thread to here:

Balance issues and constructive suggestions


---


Do a new sprite, like Botan, just for this game and to never appear again seems pretty unbelievable... Unless they are planning bring back her again on next chapter, something like Botan's revenge, who knows... But for me sounds more reasonable re-birth some classic characters like Blue Mary, Billy Kane or Yamazaki, who can make the cut on next chapter.

I said in other place, the same could have been said for Iori Team in 96, the new face team, nests team, or lots of other cases of guys that had disappeared and/or died

They could still use them on dreamatches, so yeah, I don't find stupid to create the sprite of botan, or any of those freaks, but yeah, I would love to see more guys from old kofs, or some debuts, like hotaru (yeah, I know that she was in KOF XI in the PS2 version) or more fata fury guys, or maybe the return of kasumi, eiji, or other guys, but better keep this shit of wishlisting on other thread

Am I the only one who wants to see John Crawley in KOF? :(

It's not just the sprite of Botan. They need to think about moves, battle stance etc etc. It's kind of waste for just a one time appearance. Anyhow I see Normal Ash, Botan and Adel being the boss team that you will face before Saiki and final boss. I bet XIII will have a boss team cause it looks like SNKp finally got serious.

One criticism os XIII is that it has absolutely no brand-new characters. Adding someone totally new to a home release (Like Botan, a new Saiki, pre-transformed state, or another TFTP member) would help give people even more reason to move on to new KoF, rather than moving back to 2k2UM/98UM.

SNKP hasn't been aganist making Midbosses and such for single games (Or extra characters for home consoles, like with XI). If Botan ends up similiar to Chizuru (Midboss in a game, regular playable in the next 2), that wouldn't be a waste.

Personally, in the end, I'm less concerned about WHO we get, and that they end up well-implimented into the game. No Liz/Mature fiasco from XII, these characters need full movelist, solid EX abilities, possibly multiple DMs / single DM with a meaningful EX, etc.

What is really going to anger me is to have better extra console characters than some regular characters of the game....

Anyway who is this Twitter guy? Is he working on SNKP/KOFXIII? why we should belive him?

I only know he mentions information about MvC 3 and most of it came out to be true.

It'd be interesting if he came back as, say, a specialk member on an offshoot of the Ikari team. Like maybe he could join Heidern and Whip, as a hired mercenary or transferred agent.

Maybe he could be the Not-as-beefed up military man, to replace Ralf and Clark's previous style....

Though if it came between a fight of him, or Kevin Rian making it into KoF... I'd probably have to pick Kevin XD

What is really going to anger me is to have better extra console characters than some regular characters of the game....

That would be pretty annoying. I do hope some character will get buffs, maybe not just due to "tier raising", but just to make them easier to play. Modified normals/more command normals/a new special or 2/new (EX) DMs would help out some characters. I do hope to see some changes like that.

John Crawley is definitely a cool character. But, as cool as it would be to see him return, KOF just has too many military-themed characters already. In fact, Clark's even wearing dark glasses that aren't much different from Crawley's. I just don't think there's much need for him in KOF.

He'd have a better chance appearing in a NGBC sequel, assuming one ever gets made.

Boton would be cool I guess, although nothing we've seen of her suggests she's actually a fighter. She's seems like she's only good at manipulating people behind the scenes. (Which could have made her a cool boss in a KOF game with tagging, but...)

If she is a console character, I think it would be safe to assume that both her and Elizabeth will be in the series for a while. Ash, Vice and Mature are the only XIII characters that won't be appearing in another storyline game.

Also, I really hope SNK doesn't make Saiki playable. He's a cool boss, but he'd be no fun to play as. He can't jump, can't crouch, only has three normals, etc. etc.

Rumored news about KOFXIII.

Here's the translation from Tokirisan Twitter:

"King of Fighters XIII will bring reveal new character next year, so far
...Botan is confirm as playable character, and more characters."


If this is true, that would be amazing. I've been wanting to play as Botan since KOFXI.
new characterS? wow....How much we have to wait for the console release date

vice and mature have been dead for the longest time and yet not quite gone. besides the fact that there are 2 endings, ash isn't even human. for some reason, the fact he never got around to take Kyo's flame makes me wonder if they skipped to the ending with this game?

i do hope they make a human saiki from scratch.
KoF XIII... Needs more Angel, Vanessa and Blue Mary! ^^

Hmm... this is the first time I hear about Tokirisan, who is he? How reliable are his info?

Anyways, about the rumor, I expect Adelheid and Human Saiki, because they did his art and we never saw him in action. But Botan is confirmed base on that... hmm... I'm quite intrigued.
