hmm... the new roster is indeed quite supprising, though alot of characters i like didn't make it and a few a thought sukced from kof2003 are still here i don't mind cause atleast SNKP is finally mixing things up a bit. Just like everyone else, i'm very excited to learn more. About the Sports team, if it ever did return, who else would like to see thme dump Bryan and add a Windjammers character?

I never was a big fan of the ports team to be honest... but yeah seeing a Windjammers character would be interesting. Actually scratch that... put in the big-boobied girl from Battle Flip Shot! Very surprised at the lack of Mai, still a little bummed that Andy is still not there... still hoping Andy and Mai turn up as secrets! I'd kinda like to see Andy with that outfit that was in the fake KOF 2003 pic (where he was standing there with Hokutomaru IIRC), if anyone remembers that? Probably one of the best photoshops ever.

The only cool guy in the Sports team was Heavy D! IMHO. He was the first African-American boxer who spoke fluent Japanese. ;D

Actually I suppose Heavy D wasn't too bad... but Brian Battler and Lucky Glauber were not characters I could ever bring myself to enjoy using. I still kind of have a soft spot for them (I love KOF 94 anyway), but I'm not a big fan Anyways, I posted a news update about KOF XI on the main page. You've probably read most of the info in there, although I did post a few of my own personal opinions in there and a few links to other reports that you may or may not have seen. I'm a bit late with this cos I wasn't at the PC for most of the day yesterday, so I'm still playing catch up with all the KOF XI info that is flying out left right and center! I'll keep an eye out for some proper screenshots... I hope at least a few surface, although I hear the staff there were being MEGA sensitive about people taking screenshots! Kaz

Thanks man - apart from the last one (the flyer) I posted them on the site earlier ;D. That flyer has a teeny tiny screenshot on it though, I guess that is the best we are gonna get for now.

Kaz I wish they brought back Andy with that CooL shinobi outfit he had in KOF 99. I just got too bored of his white "gi" with red boots he's been sporting since FF. They should make him a bit taller to, afterall he is Terry's brother. Don't really care Mai. She got the bounce with plenty of ounce, but thats what she all was. As long as they have Vanessa(OMG I wish she was still single. Errgh Ramon ) KOF IX has all the sex appeal it needs.

Andy just doesn't seem to get the love he deserves these days As I posted on the site I would have gone mad a few years back upon learning Mai had been ditched, but now it doesn't bother me so much, It's not that I don't like her, it's just that she needs to be updated... I'd love to see her in some casual clothes instead of the same Ninja get-up she's had for years. A slightly new moves set wouldn't go amiss either. But anyway, letting a character have a rest for a year or two always makes you appreciate them more when they come back. I just hope Mai isn't away as long as Eiji Anyways, agreed about Vanessa... so glad she made the cut! Kaz

And not a single character I wanted to see.
If the character roster is correct then I am very disappointed.

Having said that, this is an early beta where some of those characters were not even playable, so it is highly likely there will be more characters, or some hidden characters at the least. One thing I still want to know about is the rumour of the Kizuna character. Someone actually looked at a website that listed Japanese voice actors - there was one guy who was listed as being the voice actor for "Sho Hayate" in "King of Fighters 2005". If Hayate was in there as a secret character I'd be pretty damn happy... you can't beat boomerang Martial Arts!!!! ;D I'm pretty happy about the character list so far... bummed about a few people who are missing, but I've changed my mind from the way I used to feel... change is good, especially when a series has been going for ten years!
