the element seems to be chaining special into special into super kinda stuff.. some new drive bar they were describing that fills up
the "Ex special / super" in addition kinda seemed interesting..
but watching kyou do that broken ass super in the air was just jaw dropping.. nerrrrf I say.. nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrf! *kicks and screams on the floor* *turns SSJ while throwing hissy fit*

Well if Mature is brought back of all people. I want Rugal. Hiedi just isn't Rugal enough for me. Although, I think he's cool in his own way. I can't wait to see what new gameplay elements will be added and what the boss looks like.
I'm surprised Rugal wasn't around last time since he's a staple to the Dream Matches. You'd think how he's one of SNK's most beloved designs they'd make enough time to slip him in.
As far as bosses go, I think it would be cool to see the '96 Boss Team brought back since they were so bad ass but Krauser does need to lose the Tom Selleck mustache.
Ugh, I hate Krauser. What fightin' game boss uses wrestling moves? Everything about him is lackluster, I would say his Kaiser Wave was the only good thing about'im but Rugal knows that move as well (lol, as special move), making Krauser totally useless. They should replace him with Kain.
The movie version was badass, tho. That's how he shoulda looked...and fought.
I'm not a big fan of Rick Rude w/purple hair either. The movie version wasn't bad, but they can lose the spinning top foolishness he &Terry used. That was stupid. I do NOT wanna see that in a game. Looked like a cheap way out of actually animating a good fight. "Let's just have 2 spinning tops hit each other. My wrists starting to hurt"
You're right about Kain. He'd be waaaaaay better than Krauser. A team of Geese, Rugal, & Kain would be epic, but we probably won't get it 'cuz this isn't a dream match. Add that to the list of stuff that shoulda been in the last game.
I'm glad this concludes the Ash saga. Hopefully he's not a main character in KOF after this.

Have you even played with him in 98UM?.. he's really good, and fun to use to boot (he has a ranbu, and a grab super in addition to kaiser wave, which can be charged)
also, most projectiles are useless in KoF due to sidestep anyways, which is why his bread and butter is easily standing fierce, and his DP dropkick.. shit is mad beefy
kain is a terrible design.. cool moves.. but needs more to his look... he doesnt even fit in with the usual 'classy' snk design
the best boss in kof was easily Orochi.. (not the stupid mizuchi rehash).. he had simple looks.. an awesome tattoo, and he barely had to nod to spam mini geysers.. or just palm-mirror block stun spam.. then whenever he feels like, insta full screen super that juggles
the coolest part was that you didnt need luck to beat him if you were good with sidestepping, unlike other kof bosses that just cheap you to death with either chip damage, or godly invulnerability (stupid 98 ultimate rugal with kaiser wave bubble shields, dash teleport that hits for 30 some-odd hits, and ultra invuln genocide cutter)
the only thing I dont like atm is terrys outfit... why go from 2003 with the garou outfit.. back to the damn chuck taylors and denim jacket?.. especially if this is a 'story game' -_- .. I mean at least dont cop-out and go for the stupid teenage wide-leg bullshit thats been done to death
I agree with you about '98 UM Krauser, SaT. I played using him against my friend a few hours back and I got a lot of wins with him. I especially like using his taunt, "Give it up, loser!" whenever I knock whoever I'm playing against back. I do think his anime appearance than his game appearance, though. He just looked more intimidating without the Tom Selleck mustache.

Nope, never played 98 UM, waitin' for 02UM instead. I never meant that Krauser was weak in gameplay, he's an SNK boss, that's impossible. I just think he sucks as a character. Nothin' about him is cool or memorable in a good way as a character, not even his moves, imo.
I like Geese most of all the FF bosses. I think Kain looks more like a KOF boss than a FF boss and I think he fits pretty well in the newer SNK boss designs. He looks cool and has some stylish moves.
I hate Orochi, he's pretty damn cheap/OP with obviously gay moves that get him no respect (lol, V-13) and he looks very generic. Imo, Not much effort went into his design at all. Rugal (sometimes Geese) will always be the greatest SNK boss to me. Most the time, Rugal was cheap as hell, too. Damn you 98 and 02 Rugal!!! But his moves were cool and his design is..."Smashing".

Lol at The "Ravishing" Wolfgang Krauser. I aint gonna lie though, when I was younger, I used to think the whole tornado thing was cool. Geese, Rugal, & Kain would make an epic boss team and if you didn't wanna go KOF, you could still replace Rugal wit Mr. Big, I always thought Big was cool too. 'To see them redone wit the new graphics engine would be a joy, but no, we get "Dark" Ash (even girlier Ash) as a boss instead. But I can respect SNK's decision to make Ash the supposed boss, it makes sense and Ash is a pretty fun character to play wit. An OP version might be entertainin'.
Yeah.. I'm not sure what they meant by the EX specials / supers... is it like 98UM where you just pick an "ex character" by holding start? or are the ex moves going to be folded into one character? cuz that'd be some sick shit..
as for orochi, he just exudes coolness with me.. he's got this whole east-asian deity thing going on
"Sanagi o yaburi.. chou wa mau" "Cocoon tears, butterfly dances"
"Saa, mu ni kaerou" "Well then, let us return to nothingness"
"Ware yori, sugure mono wa nashi" "There are none greater than I"
"Ware.. Gaia to tomo ni ari" "I am one with Gaia"
Also reminds me of the beginning of this performance, with his trailing hand images

Wait.. regular Ash isnt OP?.. when did this happen?
Originally posted by No End N SiteYeah, I said "regular ash 'isnt' OP?" since thats what you implied.. which I kinda found funny, since ash has been pretty retarded in like every KoF he's been in so far, IMO
Not what I said. I said 'Dark Ash' (he's a boss) might be OP and it would be fun to use him because regular Ash is fun to use, who is not OP.
he's easily the most beefy charge character I've come across in any fighter.. meaty projectile.. great command normals.. his explody fire beads make for great pressure, and the supers are the icing on the cake
he wasn't on everyone's KOFXI team for nothing 🙂
hell.. I cant stand the bastard but even I couldnt help using him every now and then
Though.. I wonder what the hell dark ash is gonna be like
*waves hand back and forth violently* *23-hit beefy 'sonic boom' flies through the air*
randomly, I wish i had gotten to play MI Regulation A
WTF. Now that piece of sh*t is cosplaying Emma. Ass Crapson needs to die the worst death possible.

Speaking of unannounced characters, I soooo hope to see some whitehaired flaming tanned beauty in that (to have someone to beat Ass Crapson with) and if they write him off as "someone Ass Crapson killed off screen to get Kusanagi flames from" I'll be VERY pissed off.
