New Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum Characters (Genjyuro, Jin Twins).

Glad Genjyuro is in another mixed fighter...wonder if cutting people can lead to fatality finishes in this game like SS's torso removals

If there weren't so many damn 'dragon punch' characters, I'd say this is the best 2D fighting roster ever. If only CvS was this varied.

Nice. I'm surprised there's still more characters being added, but that's always a good thing. :)

I'd love to see some characters from Ninja Master's and Waku Waku 7 or Galaxy Fight...or just a few more ADK characters from World Heroes at least.

Any news of KOF 2004, BTW?

If Sunsoft still exists, then WW7 characters probably ain't happening. Although if SNK bought their properties, I'd love to see Stella from Astra Superstars

Astra Superstars wasn't a Neo-Geo game though. :)

I thought that SNK Playmore didn't buy the ADK characters either; they just licensed them?
 
Eh... Hanzo AND Fuuma, Chonshu AND Chonrei. Yeesh.

Still, can't complain about the roster size, AND it seems the page just expanded to five more. So we might get eight more in total... still room for Roomi :)

And now, because noone asked, my impressions of the roster:

TERRY BOGARD - excellent, always fun
MARCO ROSSI - would have preferred Fio, but nevermind... wonder if Mars People will be included too
KEIICHIRO WASHIZUKA - excellent, one of my LB favs, rules out Kojiroh though :(
NAKORURU - always fun to use
K' - no comment
MAI SHIRANUI - probably not interesting, I only like her RBS incarnation
GEESE HOWARD - fun but too damn hard to use properly
YUKI - horrible horrible design
AI - slightly more interesting
KIM - always my first choice
TUNG FU RUE - *shrug*
ASURA - excellent! Can't wait to see if he's as good as he looks
HANZO - bah
FUMA - bah
KYO KUSANAGI - beh
IORI YAGAMI - cool, I guess
ROCK HOWARD - Geese light with better supers
KISARAH WESTFIELD - only one I ever played in AODK, so fine I guess
HAOHMARU - not as fun as Genjuro, but sure
CYBER WOO - hmm... probably not
KAEDE - meh, this is one uppercut clone I wouldn't have missed
AKARI ICHIJO - interesting, at least she's different
Mr.KARATE - if he's really Buriki Ryo, he might be fun
Mr.BIG - meh
SHERMIE - meh
HOTARU FUTABA - sure, why not
ROBERT GARCIA - meh
LEE PAI LONG - don't think I ever tried him
MORIYA MINAKATA - ooooh, nice
GENJYURO KIBAGAMI - ooooh, nice
JIN CHONREI - why both?
JIN CHONSHU - why both?

At least there will be some interesting matchups here. Iori vs Genjuro vs Moriya - match of the redhaired rivals. Akari vs Hotaru - match of the jailbait. Hotaru vs Mr Big - whatever you do, don't use that super, girl!!!
