As long as Ryo is in there I will be fine

The wait is becoming unbearable for this one, KoF 98 can only tide me over for so long.

You said it. Fighting games people here are so with Tekken 6. It's not that I'm not into Tekken 6-- though I'm still stuck at 7th Kyu.

I just played KOF 2000 at the mall a couple of weeks ago. Guess a few machines are still in business. KOF '97 has always been may favorite or is it 98? It's hard to decide. Hahaha. Go Orochi Chris. The '98 jingle just came playing in my head:

It all began in '95.
Many played it in '96.
And it top in '97.
Now we go. Here we go.
Nothing can stop as 1998.

It's a good thing, they don't name KOF now per year. It gets outdated just after 365 days.

Such an awesome opening. I just played The King of Fighters Collection: Orochi Saga this weekend, and of course, stuck with '98 for a majority of the time.

Three more characters revealed for Kof XII, full roster to be revealed Saturday.

Goro Daimon:

Chin Gentsai:

Sie Kensou:

Aaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! >>> (girlie girl scream)

Sie's so handsome! He's not this handsome before. Lets the girl out in me.

[...goes back in boyish mode with drumsticks at one hand and a Bleach collectible on the other...]

*Ninjinister* · 11-27-2008, 02:50 PM

YES! I am totally glad they gave us Psycho Soldier Kensou to complement Psycho Soldier Athena!

Goro was confirmed some time ago, but this is the first time we've been shown screenshots.

cup-mikey-gertha · 11-27-2008, 02:57 PM

Life without any projectiles was a blow for Sie users out there, I believe.

Though I was first an Orochi Chris user back in '97. Just in the later installment I appreciated flameless Chris.

*Ninjinister* · 11-27-2008, 03:07 PM

I'm a tiny bit disappointed that Chin is there, though. I don't know any avid Chin users, and I would have much preferred Momoko. Oh well.

Not a huge fan of Chin's character myself, but it will be interesting to see how well his Drunken Kung Fu is animated in this game.

cup-mikey-gertha · 11-28-2008, 06:24 AM

Yes. Plus, they're the original Psycho Soldiers. If Chin is missing it won't be the same. Though Momoko is interesting.

Yes, but well, that only makes it the second classic team whose original roster is completed.

Update: Looks like more, because now the Garou Team and New Shujinkou/Ash Teams have been finished! Clark Steel, Joe Higashi, and Duo Lon have been revealed:

When you look at the back to the roots roster of KoF XII, Clark and Joe aren't a huge surprise, but I'm shocked Elizabeth and Mai weren't included, especially Elizabeth whose artwork was released with the first teaser poster of KoF XII. SNK may still be holding out on the final roster or is saving some completed characters for the home version (Original Womens Team?).

*Ninjinister* · 11-29-2008, 01:48 PM

The weirdest thing is SNK said there would be no preset teams in this entry... then gave us mostly the full rosters of preset teams... and left others in the dust.

It is just me or Clark's muscles got really bigger? LOL.

Do you have any tentative dates on when this will be released on the amusement parks in southest Asia, in PS3, and in PSP3?

Thanks.

Both he and Ralf have that effect. They look almost like they've been returned to headswaps of one another.

No specific release dates to my knowledge, sorry. Just "April 2009" for Japan (I think I heard April 16th somewhere, but I can't back that up), in arcades.

cup-mikey-gertha · 12-05-2008, 09:04 AM

Glad that I'm not the only one who noticed it.

BTW, Athena looked wayyounger. I mean, in her first arcade appearance, she's a HS student like me. Fast forward, I've already finished college, attended MA, a regular eomployee; and what?! She's still young looking-- and not just young looking but young,young looking like she's just had her first period.

*Ninjinister* · 12-05-2008, 02:38 PM

Well, like Kensou, they gave her her Psycho Soldiers appearance.

*Ninjinister* · 04-10-2009, 04:17 PM

I know, this topic is old, but the game was actually officially released in (Japanese) arcades recently (as opposed the the LocTests of previous).

Furthermore, there are rumours abound that Mai and K' may be in the console version (a Game Informer review confirmed additional characters for consoles). This is given further credit by the fact that SNK Playmore's 15th anniversary site has art of the two of them drawn by the same artist as the rest of the KoF XII art.

Dragon Turtle · 05-10-2009, 04:31 AM

Elizabeth and Mature have been added to the home version.

*Ninjinister* · 05-10-2009, 04:58 AM

Not only that, but Mature's sporting an eyepatch for some reason.
