Being an Akira fan I loved K'9999, although I suppose he's not the greatest characters to actually use (imho anyways). I've heard all sorts of rumours about him though - ranging from "he's not popular enough so they ditched him", to "Eolith own the rights and won't let SNK use him now", and also that they were threatened with legal action by the owners of Akira, what with him being so similar and even using the same voice actor. I'm really not sure what is ACTUALLY true, but I personally think they just don't want to use him at all... he didn't even make Neowave, so the chances of him coming back are slim... which is a shame  I'm pretty sure they are 3D, and while I do like a few of the Neowave/Rebout backgrounds and REALLY like a few of the KOF 2003 3D stages, I am starting to agree that these KOF XI ones are the best SNK has done to date. Originally I thought they looked a bit sucky and out of place (with the style seemingly being a lot different in places to the actual character sprites), but the more I see of them, the more I like 'em. Really want to see a good quality video of them in motion - some looked like they were a bit static from the horrid quality vid posted ages ago, but I've been told by others that went to the beta tests that they animated reasonably. I still say that the KOF '99 Evo (Dreamcast) backgrounds were the best and most suited 3D stages ever made... although I really would still prefer hand drawn 2D. Kaz |

K'9999 is very cool and should be in a new game.

From these screenshots KOFXI looks very good visually, although some backgrounds do look lifeless. I hope Shen Woo gets a few more moves, I'm liking the new projectile block, but I wonder if it'll have any lag. Still waiting for some gameplay videos.

K9999 is definately my fav kof character designed yet by snkp in terms fo gameplay but the fact that they had to rip off akira was pathetic. Maybe if they only didn't make it so obvious... It was definately a legal action by the akira creators.
I'm gettin pissed cause i love the character art soo much but it is so small on the site.

Vid. looks sweet, the sprites and new animations look great but the gameplay still looks like kof 2k3. (a sick meld between kof and motw but i'm not gonna bitch) I'm interested to see whats goin on with the Buriki character but i with they would get rid of Whips cheap ass. I could think of many other characters from the kof series that would be alot better. I can't wait to see the inevitable Rugals son unbalance.

Yeah, I got the same impression from the graphics of KOFXI. I wish all the graphical effects were MOTW style. Anyway the game looks spectacular Oswald looks like a combo whore (65 hits on his LDM) and reading from Cyberfanatixs, you can change leaders in between fights.
Gai is another character that caught my interest. I've never played Buriki One, but I have played other grappling fighting games (UFC, PrideFC, K1) and it looks like he has a style similar style to fighters such as Frank Shamrock, Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Liddell. Quick Shifts also look very sick, being able to shift out in between combos to continue the chain.
Actually, that's a new graphic for Maxima's LDM in KOF2003. I hope character balance is good in this game there were some characters in 03' overpowered *cough* Duo Lon *cough* and some others that could be improved. Let's hope that SNKP irons out all the problems from the previous version.
