Well, to be honest, Athena's design is better for me. Not because she's fat or loli (I rather choose Aino Heart to fulfill my Loli/Moe Fetisism). But thanks to it more serious expresion makes her design more better than previous design which is, annoying.

Okay, Sreenshot from the official site :

So, apparaently, after you completed 3 match, there's a cutscene showing a several characters sitting and discussing about the tournament so far, later there's a reporter who reported about the people who's got exiting about the tournament so far.

And after you completed the last match, the female reporter appear again to report about the winner of the tournament and showing the time you've been made. And then the cutscene of the several characters sitting appear again and that's the ending credit.

And more interestingly is : There's an English Voice Actor and CG Designer when you see the ending credit.

Well, I hope they can add more CG Cutscene. So far the game looks very promising.

And here's the list of voices actor thanks to our buddy Yuki Yagami :
I'll just write down the cast list for the game, some of them are changed. (Joe, Kensou, Chin and Duolon, possibly their name are change as well.)

Bunshuu Shinoya
Kazuhiko Nagata
Masayoshi Kozaki

Other cast
Atsushi Maezuka - Benimaru Nikaido / Ralf Jones
Daisuke Gouri - Raiden (someone said that before, and I think he/she is right)
Haruna Ikezawa - Athena Asamiya / Round Announcer?
Kay Inage - Robert Garcia
Keiichi Nanba - Andy Bogard
Kouji Suizu - Shen Woo
Masae Yumi - Leona Heidern
Masahiro Nonaka - Kyo Kusanagi
Masaki Usui - Goro Daimon / Ryo Sakazaki
Satoshi Hashimoto - Terry Bogard / Kim Kaphwan
Sounosuke Nagashiro - Ash Crimson
Yoshinori Shima - Clark Still

English Cast (in the cutscenes I guess)
Eric Kelso
Greg Irwin (Is this the same guy who is the announcer of Street Fighter Alpha 3?)
Jack Merluzzi
Jeff Manning
Josh Keller
Miwa Gardner (one of those NHK World Announcers, like Mark Okita, who is the Announcer of one of those KOF:MI games)
Peter von Gomm
Rachel Waltzer

The Musical Composers of these game are the same composers for the Original KOF '98 (Tate_Norio and SHA-V), and this is the first time they team up since KOF 2000. However, I think they are not the composers for KOF 2002 Unlimited Match, or are they?

Random tidbits about those English VAs (yoinked from IMDb):
- Eric Kelso voices Paul Phoenix in the Tekken games (and also Fuku-san from Shenmue and Ren in Shenmue II)
- Jack Merluzzi voices Raven in the Tekken games (and Zero in MMX7)
- Jeff Manning is the Soul Calibur 1 narrator (lol)
- Peter von Gomm voiced X in MMX7
- Rachel Waltzer seems to have voiced someone in Rumble Roses

I'm trying to figure out why there would be English voices in the credits of the arcade version, though...

Sweet, Satella NNW finally back again.

MAN!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!

Love it love it love it love it love it.

And say : Do we still need a story and a Boss for this Great World Wide Tournament????

Well, to be honest KOF 97 can give us a great story with a climax for the Orochi Saga, great Boss, and VERY MEMORABLE Super Collosal Batlle but at the same time it give us a great world wide tournament.

But for this KOF XII, I will not complaining a bit again. I can go like with the direction like this. Well, at least for the Arcade.

But please SNK! Made it a 6 match per game!!! 5 match per game is too short.

But perhaps KOF XII isnt a storyless al all.

Maybe the story is like this :

"This is a non-canon KOF Universe where there's a great world wide tournament called "The King of Fighters" who attended by a number of a fighters around the world. And now we presents you the 12th edition of the tournament!!!!"

Sure, I can accept this.

BTW, the cutscene are still using Japanese Voice. I wonder what the English Voice Actor for???

I don't think it's a stupid idea, just a highly inappropriate one for a 2D only game like KoF XII.

The animated (which came to me as suprising; thought they'd go for stills and text only) cutscenes are fine as is.

There's a video on this page, which has the first direct-feed footage of KOFXII (that I know of with actual sound). The players are rather shit, but the last clip suggests that super cancelling might still be in the game in some form. Shen does his dashing uppercut punch and cancels it into his QCFx2+P DM to end a critical counter combo.

EDIT: actually scratch that, the uppercut punch his Shen's new animation for his CD attack. So the combo is C->CD->QCFx2+P - nothing special.

Is it me or is this one running at 60fps? Regardless, it looks pretty sweet.

Another loketest has also been confirmed from March 6th to the 8th.

Few more things I noticed from the latest trailer, not sure if they've been mentioned before:

All hits of Ryo's Ryuko Ranbu seems to count as 1 hit, unlike Robert's. Probably a bug that'll be fixed I guess.

Andy did one of those pre-97/Extra mode AB evade (I dunno what's its correct term)! Exclusive to him or is this actually part of the system? I thought we already have rolls...

And you can chain power charge into power geyser now!?
