New details on '98 Ultimate Match. Challenge Mode (like KOFXI for PS2), gallery mode and arranged soundtrack confirmed. Also...Eiji and Kasumi.

Will they use XI Eiji with his 95 voiceset?

Video from the MMBB Festa where they showed off MI Regulation A and '98 Ultimate Match.
Main points:
- New backgrounds (some are 3D). In particular the old '98 Japan street stage was shown in 3D.
- Challenge mode (like KOF XI). He showed off a challenge where you had to do a combo that did 70% damage.
- Gallery mode where you can see pics, as well as the intro to KOF DM 1999 on Dreamcast
- Hidden characters (he mentioned 5, but said there will be more).
- The AST seems to be in.
- They also showed (for fun) some Krauser stuff, like his intro with Rugal (they both do a Kaiser Wave,

)
- It seems they're really looking into doing an arcade release. If it gets approved, they won't release the home version until the game comes out in arcades.
- A lot of character specific changes have been made, it seems.

eh, SNKP employees are a bizarre bunch.

I'm looking forward to Geese and Rugal throwing a reppuken to each other!

but Geese uses slash-type Reppuken, not projectile-type

So, a Capcom character in UM?
Iggy from MMCafe says it is confirmed. He speculates he may be one of the characters that already appeared in KOF as Rugal's statues.
Guile, Gouki? Someone else?

I guess it may be just an statue that Geese and Rugal will destroy

Fuu · Post by **Fuu** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 08:24

that's the 'maybe more characters' pic. they're not Bosou Iori and Leona, Orochi and Goenitz, their silhouettes appear before and they are pretty clear.

anyone post a mirror on the vids?

Who are these four characters???

I'm curious about it...

Too bad I could not watch the video, unless someone has a copy of it...

Random note on "Ultimate mode" since Iggy didn't mention it.

There's a third groove they've added in addition to Advanced and Extra, called Ultimate. This seems to let you mix and match subsystems from both modes. So you could have the manual charging of Extra with running and rolling, if you wanted.

What was wrong with the '96 roll? I can't rememberâ€¦ other than it went backwards when leaving the stick neutral rather than forwards like all the newer games.
