I agree with everything you just said. Also, I don't see how that stage could be considered racists or anything. To me, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle and ToeJam & Earl.
I have a hard time finding any info on Chin's new move, and yet, already, images can be found of Yuri's quasi-panty-shots? (And is it me, or does she have the cutest little "Yeah, I win, Jerks!" look on her face for that "Thumbs up!" victory pose?)
Go KOF Fans! Our love of gameplay is firmly established! (-_-;;
Haha, TJ&E, it's like a whole room full of "Big Earl!"s! :lol
But I agree. I love the charicature and style of older games, so whatching what SNKP does in this game is fantastic to me, as a gamer, and an artist. A main male cast where almost each guy has a unique build, almost each girl has build variety (look past those faces, naysayers!), and the background characters of each stage actually attempt to have unique features and styles... KoF XII and XIII call back to classic sprite games SO well with all this personality, that it makes it somewhat harder to look at modern, realistic games without being somewhat dissapointed. And it's not like I needed HELP with that, anywho...
2D just contains a level of expression that 3D has a hard time matching. Each style excels in it's own unique ways, and these KoF arts are VERY close to taking some of 3Ds best, and bringing them into the 2D realm. That's quite a feat, I'd say.

Translation of Story by MMCafe forum user:
The R can't be from Rugal... I assume it might be from ROSE.
We need someone to translate Ash story.

After having pierced through Magaki with his spear, signs of Shion disappeared through the dimensional cleft.
Furthermore, as it to ridicule the investigation led by Heidern forces, they come out of their hidding to retrieve Magaki's corpse.
Those who speak of "we who hail from his distant land" ( 「遥けし彼の地」 )
Persistently pursuing the where about of the Orochi power.
While that happens, Yagami Iori falls to Ash Crimson
Elizabeth confronts those actions (unsure if his in the line of 'facing' (asking why) or 'facing' (opposing)).
After Kagura, follows Yagami Iori's powers (「力」
Being Yata defeated, Yasakani taken down (note = Yata : Kagura's lineage / treasure name. Yasakani is Yagami's)
Of the three divine treasures, only Kusanagi is remaining
However, at that moment the disturb of Orochi triggers in Yagami
And Kusanagi Kyo collapses from severe wounds.

Presently
Having suffered several accidents, concern is stretching towards KoF.
Even so, the question of who is the strongest...
A KoF of unprecedented scale has begun to be spelled
With the wide world as stage, an unprecedented great scale competition of different fighting styles
Never before a gathering like this has been reported.
And thus, those who posses the proper ability receive the written invitation
And the one sending them is ・・・・・・　　「Ｒ」！

Anyone know where to find high resolution portrait art?
Best I have found so far is IGN http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/062/062898/imgs_5.html , but they are watermarked and a bit too small.

Guess Yuri should be posted too. Though her face looks kinda weird imo. It's like a meat bun took over it or something.
I like Yuri's pissed, pouty lips. Fits her "oh, yoooou" attitude.
He's gone back to what he did way back in teh day - directing small mecha and super robot shows. Last "big" show he did was Gravion.
If they follow the foreshadowing from the Chin/K' dialogue (they may have forgotten or changed their minds by now, it's been 7 years), then K' will have to use his fire when Kyo is defeated by Ash.

Welcome to the otaku dream! If Athena and Yuri have to suffer I guess I can handle it as long as it sells more copies of the game (assuming this game is good).
XII/XIII Athena looks like a mix scoolgirl KoF + Princess. She's more rounded and shapely, yet still somehow in a youthful way. I somewhat prefer it, overall. She's more iconic and unique with a different body shape, rather than just a generic skinny build.
Not that the old look didn't work for her. But man, does it make more sense, from a "modern day Japan" standpoint. Personally, I'm just glad they didn't give her those generic moe personality traits... if she started to idolize the older women on the cast, or acting weak and calling for Kensou to save her, or talking about how useless/weak she was... ugh, THAT woulda been horrible.

Wow. I remember when there was snkneogeousaconsumer.com, or something convoluted like that, and it had an official forum... and then they started to dissapear... forums died, and site was updated less and less...
Now THAT site, though, looks much more solid, and similiar to the Japanese one. Maybe this is a good sign for towards good netcode? If they have any contact information...
Should go back through every "no Mai, no Buy!" And plaster this page here as replies to all those post...

I keep reading such complains and I don't get it. Didn't people play fighters pre 96?
How can he feel incomplete when that is his full classic moveset? He didn't need anything else to be top tier. The revamped Kyo with qcf punches was basicaly a new character. He was changed so many times because devs could decide what moveset he should have, but classic 94, 95 Kyo was always solid and popular so they still keep putting him across the series.
Since KOF 12, 13 embraces the classic versions of characters (plus some freshness) from their original series it's natural they chose the original Kyo.
Yuri also originally didn't have an uppercut in Art Of Fighting 2 and KOF 94.
King looks like her original self minus the air venom strike.

With all the talk of K', I was wondering something. Was K's full "XII" art (seen below) ever released? (AKA the art from the official KoF hub that was done in the XII style that made us think they'd be DLC.)
I found a full version of Mai, (though the version I have has a weird shading to it) but I still can't find the full picture of K'. Does anyone have it?

wow....the game looks gorgeous!!
I must say that the sprites are the best i have ever seen in a fighting game (ever!?)
my only question is....how does the animation compare? Is it also the best in any 2d fighting game? (Man, I always thought third strike was pretty impressive...still to this day!!)

It's not as good as 3S. It's better then BB though. I'd put it on par with Garou or Last Blade, maybe a tiny bit worse due to speed of the game.
A quicker game requires somewhat choppier animation. The higher animation count to me helps KOF, as it reduces the effectiveness of hyperhop spam. KOFXI had real problems with that, to the point where that was the most effective tactic in the game at times.

I know it's just their design choice, but I really don't like how Yuri and Athena are so potato headed... something tells me I'd be slightly upset if Kula shows up and she's the same way.
Still doesn't stop me from having high hopes about the game however, a new KOF always makes me build anticipation.
