The French really can’t keep their mouths shut. They leaked Saiki and Billy, now the 5 DLC are presented here. Thx Yuki Yagami for posting the news.

Update: Or is it a fake?  Some things don’t make sense – 5 new DLC characters not seen in KOF before?  The graphic cannot be enlarged to study the quality of the image, and RSG have not confirmed the leak.  So, we will still have to wait for official confirmation.

    really why can’t we get actual characters as dlc

  2. Sirve says:

    Apparently english guy can’t either…

  3. delmore schwartz says:

    this just pisses me off freaking shin kyo looks exactly the same as normal kyo whats the point

  4. delmore schwartz says:

    at least saiki and ex iori are distinguishable from they’re counter parts but there is no need for that kyo

    it’s a good thing they didn’t keep their mouths shut, because this isn’t exactly the kind of news you try to hide. i was talking about this several times why they shouldn’t hide something if it’s just ex versions of characters already on the roster.

  6. MDog says:

    It’s pretty cool to have them, but if Shin Kyo is as ridiculous as EX Kyo was in KoFXI, it seems kind of pointless to have him.

  7. Sirve says:

    ho and buy the way this capture say 5 new characters and nothing about 5 DLC.

  8. DARC says:

    i don’t understand why people don’t like this. sure it might break the game at first, but that’s what patches are for. come on people! GET HYPE! MORE GODLIKE CHARS!!! >:D

  9. Zenza says:

    i think people want more distinguishable characters, and not a color change to exiting ones, sure they have different movesets, but you know

  10. hadoolket says:

    darc, i don’t think that’s the reason people don’t care for them

  11. DARC says:

    @haoolket
    because they’re secret agents? people should pay attention when their opponent character selects! yeah they might look the same but, that doesn’t mean the move set is the same. srsly. i’m sure most of the people that read this blog played SSF4:ae and thought. WOW, shin akuma/evil ryu not to mention yun/yang were over powered and almost crippled SSF4 from being playable. i think there should be more characters that have ex versions regardless of the look. WHO THE F++++ CARES WHAT YOUR HANDLE LOOKS LIKE. i’m pretty sure most of the people drop kicking with raiden don’t want to be playing raiden just to drop kick because of priority. . .

    @Sirve
    There’s all of his Rekkas and his qcb kick moves.
    Different enough.

  13. Doc Strange says:

    Are you guys really bitching about the ex characters not looking different enough from the normal versions? Have any of you ever even played 98?

    @MDOG

    hey i fucking love Ex Kyo in KOF XI.

    he’s such a beast :P

    they should have used his style from the get go :P

    as much as i like Ex Kyo and 98 Iori how about some new characters from XI like Adelheid, Vanessa, Shingo, Oswald, Blue Mary and tons more XI characters

    they’re part of the “Ash Saga” so why not choose them since this is the conclusion of it???

    or how about some Garou characters like Rock Howard, Gato, Kain????

    come on SNK you have the best amazing roster in the history of fighting games. you don’t even need to make new characters for the next games :P

    that’s why i hope SNK makes another Dream Match in the next KOF game. would love to see characters they haven’t used awhile like garou characters.

    then again i want a Samurai Shodown VII(sen doesn’t count) first before anything :P

  16. Apparently for what I have been reading the pic is “real” (as it, it comes from SNK; that IS official art). However the article itself is complete unauthorized bullcrap with fan inventions and whatnot (it has prices, movelist and who knows what other things).

    For my part, it was so completely obvious that “no character draw from scratch” where going to be in the home port… Yet when we saw Billy for some reason I allowed myself to dream, a very short dream.

    But that dream is over now :P

  17. Kadziet says:

    CvS 2 art looks a lot like KOF XIII art especially when it’s small like that lol

  18. Doc Strange says:

    Pics are almost definitely legit, they match up perfectly with the green silhouette teasers that were released a while back.

    EX Kyo’s been pretty much guaranteed from the start and I’m glad he’s in, but I’m racking my brain trying to figure out what Mr. Karate will play like. Iori, Saiki and (presumably) Kyo are all almost totally different move sets from the characters they’re based on, but Takuma doesn’t really have much to work with imo.
