This has only been a rumor, as the same with Maxima being removed. I've heard a few others on SNK-Capcom say their character portraits are just grayed out, meaning they're probably still WIPs. BTW, Kazuya, your forums are giving me that too many connections problem.

That personalised voice is really nice. It adds more life to the characters' interactions, much better than the usual pre-fight dialogue. I really don't expect this. SNK really knows how to add unique personalities to their characters.

Well that was quite the lazy decision by snkp about the Eiji sprite but really i'll be happy as hell as long as he plays good and fits in well with everybody. I wonder when the fuck pics and vids. will be allowed.

^c.mon, im sure that eiji sprite will be replaced, in CVS 2 Loke Tests, they used Ken's Alpha Sprite!but obvoulsy they did nt use it in the final game, hopefully, Eiji's sprite will be replaced...
about Duck King, im not surprised, this character doesnt appeal much to the Japanese, he seems either too fashinably Old and annoying... well, that's my op

Some info from Iggy:
Duck looks like the 00 striker, cool.....?
Seriously though, i don't even mind Eiji and Duck having the old outfits but Ramon.... He's such a good character imo but his sprite is sooo damn horrible.

from what i've heard so far, this game sounds as though its shaping up quite nicely. the only thing i'd wish for is that they'd revamp iori since he's looked, sounded and played more or less exactly the same for the last eleven years. fuck, snk are getting almost as bad as capcom in that department. ooh the irony....  a change in ramon's sprite would be cool too since i really couldn't stand it in kof 2000/1 which is annoying since he's always with vannessa who's one one of the best new characters to appear in kof imo. as for the loss of characters like mai, joe, robert, chang, choi etc. i actually think its a good idea especially if they're just going to recycle the same sprites over and over again. if they were to be gradually re-introduced with new sprites, (especially mai since the last few games i found her to become increasingly predicable and annoying) it can only be a good thing in the long run. though i've never played it, i really hope we get a buriki one team since that'd be very cool. and despite the fact that i'm not a massive fan of either, its still nice to see eiji and duck back in the fold but again i really think they need a little updating, but its hard to tell when there arn't any screenshots, which still amazes me. i mean if two koreans are prepared to risk injury and death to act our their favourite kyo/iori scenes with real fire, it's hard to believe that someone hasn't got a couple of sneaky pics, in tokyo of all places too. |

www.neogeoforlife.com/news_script/fullnews.php?id=112Another test report and 2 VERY blurry screenshots  With the photos thing, I think people just don't want to run the risk of being banned from any future tests. The staff have been EXTREMELY strict as well so I hear... someone told me he saw one guy get jumped on when he took out his mobile phone to answer a call, so that gives us some idea of how strict they are right now Kaz

hmm. yeah the shots arn't great, but better than nothing. i like the overall presentation, but that background does look a little sparse and bland. but then again, its pretty hard to judge until some footage or more shots comes out. still looks cool though. thanks muchly for whoever risked a severe beating to get those pics.
eidt: seems like snk wern't to happy about the leak at least that's what seems to be implied from the red text on the kof xi website when i ran it through alta vista's babel fish thingy. might be wrong though:

Yeah it does seem to say that they are very unhappy with it... oh well. I guess we will have to wait until NGBC has been out for a while and the main marketing blitz is over before they start giving us some official screenshots/movies of the game in action. Anyway: Another loke test reportKaz |

The bgs really depress me from what i can make out. Honestly that vid. did nothing but make me sad. From what i could make out it seemed like more of the same old shit and drabness just like neowave.

I just had to post this quote from somebody in the neo-geo.com forums cause it's pretty damn funny and so true.

I thought the overall presentation of the game was good, but it did lack a lot. The BGs look very bland and lifeless, and there's no new effects to be found anywhere. Duck King and Eiji looked pretty good though. I guess we'll have to wait and see whats next for this new KOF title.
