I'm surprised nobody mentioned this from the Rising Star site:
Parts and Icons? I don't get the Parts part, maybe stuff like Takuma Mr. Karate mask? I'm curious on what they will do on this area. Icon? Well I assume they will do the same with what SF did with the Online Icons.
Well, I wouldn't be suprised if arcades additional palettes are just prototypes to costume modifications (Like the Rigging Model items in MI) for the console release.
I... really don't remember seeing that 2D KoF World MMO back during XII, haha. That girl character there looks very similiar in stance to how Yuri looks in XIII. And the Power Geyser Special Effect is directly from KoF, too.
Anyway, I wouldn't be suprised to see some additional costume parts show up (they seem to suggest they're unlockable), and it would be nice if they act like MMO equips, showing up on the sprite, and animating like they've always been a part of them. They do a great job with Bear and Takuma's mask, Yuri's Ponytail, etc. I wonder how crazy they'd go? Taking the bomb belt off the Ikari Warriors? Giving terry his MOTW jacket? Hanging additional gourds on Chin? Robotic eyes for Maxima? Will be very interesting to see what they come up with!
There was a rumor of such mods existing in XII as well, so it's funny to see it resurfacing again.
....Oooo, Billy AND Saiki Playable in EVO build? Assume that's the same one they'll have at Otakon! This... is going to be an interesting weekend!
