Random Note: Noone seems to catch on to the fact that Mr. Karate's First hit of Neomax is a very ridiculous version of Marco's Charge Punch from Garou
Also, it appears that a flaming image of his mask appears in the Neomax flame column, and that the mask nods in acceptance of something when the final blow lands.
His EX Ranbu also looks more unique than I was expecting. I didn't think he had Zanretsuken as a normal move, either. Wonder if his EX version will still have Anywhere juggle properties?
I also like the fact that Kyo's body is redrawn in licks of flame during his Mu Shiki. Not just glowing red like in old KoF's, but his body is actually on fire, with flame tails forming from him. That's quite a nice effect.
They seem to put a lot of love into these EX characters. Same with their stages. I'm quite happy with that; premium pricing met with premium quality. Even if their Neomax's reuse animations, they seem to have just put that animating time into the more worthwhile moves of the characters, the one's you'll be using every few seconds in the countless matches you'll play them in...
