The King of Fighters XIII/KOF-i News Thread

[Yuki Yagami]

Yes, in his KOF '95 Costume though....

The one highlighted means Free DLC upon Preorder (Japan Only). Not sure yet if Billy is part of the said package or is similar to Lisa and Mature in XII (open exclusive character from the start).

[Anti-K']

So are the remaining spots gonna go to the unfinished sprites that were revealed(Momoko, Oswald, Malin, and Chang)?

[Dody]

Well, since now we have classic Billy and classic Iori are on the making, and according to XII data we STILL have 4 bad allocations, and judging from what SNK doing since KOF XII that recentlly they have a throwback fetish by making most classic characters appear in their classic pre-96 appearances (which is a good choice) and even the Team Proportion are almost resemble the classic ones............

Then I can't do anything than speculate that the 4 remaining bad allocations are no other than Eiji and this guys :



Thougs???

I'd approve of this.

Billy Kane added

He's the "Billy" in the unused KOF XII 360 code

Here's hoping for one (or two) more console exclusive characters. (And a KOF XIII 2.0 for NESiCAxLive)

see, this is some real news, not some pabloshit rumor on some netcode that can't even be tested at this time.

also, it only LOOKS like we should expect eiji, but i don't doubt it at this point

as my hopes of a playable shermie are dwindling, at least i won't lose that bet where i have to dance naked in the streets if shermie becomes playable (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

Yeah, no.

Argh, why did they go with the hobo Billy design :/

because snkp no longer believes in anti-smoking campaigns

[Dody]

Anyway, look at this :



Look at the right picture showing Ash.

A new stage??? I dont remember KOF XIII have that stage???

[Monpochi]

Yeah, no.

Argh, why did they go with the hobo Billy design

He looks sexy though~ (And I can't believe I'm saying that towards him) None of that steroidal bullsh*t that got into Terry and the Ikaris.

Although the 97 design would've been nice too.

I'd love a return from Heavy D! At least, I enjoyed using him.

[Gunsmith]

I'm flattered at SNKP's attempt to make me happy by bringing in the Brit, but they should know it's all about the Frenchie.

Bring back Chang for combo hits +1!!!!

Japanese release is 27th October but we all know how SNKP is with release dates.
Also, like mentioned already it claims there will be a downloadable character available for people who preorder.

[Gunsmith]

Cmon man isn't there more to it than that?

I don't recall seeing that picture with Ash over at the top right corner before. I suppose there's a new intro video?
