I will no longer be surprised if the final Boss in a next fighting game will be naked. My worry is the next BlazBlue title, the "true final boss" of Continuum Shift is nearly naked already. I dunno what to say if...
Imperator Saya
will be fully naked in the next title...

And... If Examu does this trend for their final boss in Arcana Heart 4, call the cops!!! hahahaha

I hope not...

BTW,
I just read on SRK that Arcade Infinity will have XIII on Friday (Pacific Time)...

I just hope we could get information, gameplay nuggets or even videos of this game. Looking forward to it hopefully.

More Japanese Pictures..

Coming from Professor @ MMCafe


Some characters wear special Masks...
1.Hidden Palette sets, Part 2
Raiden isn't the only one with a face swap in his hidden palette set.


W h o i s t h e m a n i n t h e T E N G U M A S K ?
And yes it's a head swap for Takuma. Ryo doesn't have a hidden palette set.



Andy also has a hidden palette set and it *kind of * gives him a face swap; he wears a ninja-nose-mask very much like that of Eiji Kisaragi's. Technically, it's just a color swap on a part of his face. Also, there's selections that changes color on the upper half of his face instead, making him look like he's wearing a Zoro mask.

K' has a hidden palette set as well, and although it doesn't change his face or anything, the colors are quite ridiculous. You normally can't see it, but the developers apparently split the coloring of his body into four different sections: The left leg, right leg, left body, and right body.

So... leave it to SNKP to take full advantage of that situation, in the weirdest possible way. In one of the colors, K' looks like a fighting Windows Logo. And no, it was too ugly to take a shot of.

2.Special KOs
King (Chip Death)
Yuri

3.Taunts
Kim- Does a series of kicks, then glitters his teeth
Hwa- Fake drink move; jumps up to grab his bottle, but doesn't catch it
Raiden- FF2 taunt; Cmoooon!
Iori- Classic 95 taunt where he leans forward
Vice- Twirls around her neck like she's bored and needs a massage
Mature- Puts her hand across her face
Mai- crouches towards the screen a bit and wobbles around her chest
Yuri- Looks towards the screen and randomly does one of three variations: looks normal, looks surprised with big round eyes, does a peace sign
King- Holds a rose, then tosses it in front of herself and kicks it at opponent (no hit detection)
Ryo- Powers up his chi like in the AOF series
Robert- Same as Ryo
Takuma- Old AOF2 taunt (I think)
Maxima- Does something that looks like his 99 intro where he analizes his enemy, but looking towards the screen, and without as much artwork done on the graphics
K'- Forgot his taunt. But he takes off his shades in his victory pose.

4. Bosses
Saiki is weird. He's really tough to beat with some characters, and really easy with some others. In particular, it's extremely easy to beat him with characters that have a good attack that goes forward but ends you a short distance away after a guard, like Andy's Zaneiken, Terry, or Kim (Hangetsuzan). Some characters like Yuri can even get a perfect because the CPU just doesn't react well to it. Basically, it trys to counter with its special throw and fails. Dark Ash has the same problem, though he does another move instead.


5.Endings
The first half of the game's ending is the same for everyone. The details can be seen in the tweetphotos above but here's a synopsis: Saiki trys to fully posess Ash's body but Ash resists him, standing firm and not moving. Saiki is left screaming for his life in Ash's body, telling him to step into the gate so that they can return back in time and start over. Elizabeth calls Ash's name. Ash overpowers Saiki's posession, and takes his last seconds to smile to Elisabeth, telling her that he made a mistake at the very end and it's time for him to go. Ash fades away from existance. Elishabeth is left shouting, and the screen turns back to the Stadium. Time starts to move again, and Rose finishes her closing ceremony speech. The screen fades black, and the team-specific ending begins.


BTW, Dengeki Online previously reported that King plays an important role in the game's storyline. But so far she feels like any other character.

King team's ending is pretty much like a de ja vu of a few endings in past KOF games, nothing really new. They're at PaoPao Cafe and celebrating with a bunch of other female characters including Vanessa, Marin, Jenet, Xianfei, Kasumi, and Hotaru. They start heating into an argument with Jenet and a few others, poking fun at how she couldn't even make it to the tournament. Hotaru looks worried and asks Richard Meyers if things are ok. Meyers looks at them like it's something that happens all the time and sighs.

That Super is just Sans-culottes but hits fullscreen and only cost one stock.Also from pro
Today's a busy day so it'd probably be a smaller update than yesterday, but here's a quick lunch break bonus-




I ' m N O T R a i d e n !






Hidden colors
Some characters have an additional set of 10 colors that can be picked by hitting the start button at the palette select screen. They're more of the exception than the majority. I've only seen Yuri and Raiden thus far. Surprisingly, the more obviously popular characters like Iori and Mai doesn't have it.

But even more shocking is...

Raiden turns into Big Bear when you go into his hidden palette. SNKP must really have a love for him. Note that it's a head swap, so his moves and illustrations are the same as Raiden's.
Rose Berstein jpop mode found it at neo gaf.
Joe and Ralf apparently have hidden palettes as well (unconfimed).

Also, I forgot to mention that all 10 of the color selections change for anyone that has a hidden palette set. So in the case of Raiden, he has 10 color variations/costumes where he's not wearing his mask. One of them gives him black hair.

Pics from other players:

Oh god please don't be a photoshop please don't be a photoshop.

Just more alt colors, nothing special.
Someone apparently liked one of her hidden colors so much they took a bunch of photos, below.

Someone got his powers back

Voice Actors

The one who replaced the late Daisuke Gouri as Raiden is an English Talent by the name of Iain Gibb (who I presume is the game's Announcer as well)
Ralf, Kim and Chin retain their XII Voice Actors (and one of them is suspected to have voiced Hwa Jai), thus, Only Ryo got his old seiyuu back.

Composers (They did a good job in pulling off Tate_Norio's sound style, IMO)
Tetsuhiro Ogawa
Iku Mizutani
Toshihiko Hiraguchi
Tomonao Niiya
Makoto Suehiro
Tasuku Mizutani

I'm not near my regular PC, so I can't triple check things that I don't know with my usual software.... take this with a grain of salt.


Yagami : Oaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Staff : How dangerous! Let's step back! Roll the cameras! Right Over here!
Reporter : During the victory interview of the japan team, suddenly Yagami senshu has made an attack (lit use "has transpassed")
Yagami : Do you have anything to complain on me bursting in into this victory ceremony, Kyo?
Kyo : .... Victory? Is it victory?
Ash (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ♪)
Kyo : You just don't understand, You can't even feel how much I have to thank you for this.
Kyo : ..... Yagami, Don't you have that feeling as well? (he lit uses" you haven't encountered / found something like this too?")
Yagami : Aaa, that Feeling. This day will become your funeral day (responds with "I have met it" and "death anniversary")
Kyo : Hm, ........ Will it be like that
Kyo : Today I'll use that felling of of annoyance that this whole mess has caused me to totally blow you down! (Not really literal, meh)
Yagami : I'll be the one that will show you the entrance to hell, but he rest of the trip you'll have to do it by yourself!
Kyo : OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Yagami : DIE------!!!!!!
Ash : And thus things remain the same as always... Ah ha ha ha hah♪

Ok, If I have to interpret the ending, I'll say that Iori is pissed because he is Iori, and Kyo is pissed because he "didn't" got to see what Ash was aiming to and couldn't stop him from ending out like he did. I take that the Ash flash backs are things that Ash said previously (where as during the tournament or the previous game) and Kyo is remembering them in anger.

Funny that I picked Iori & Kyo to translate, they the characters that I dislike the most of the whole saga *goro See you later alligater (weekend of for me)

Kikujiro on YT posted this as a trans of the Yagami Ending
After Ash dies, Iori is given back his treasure, the Magatama. Vice and Mature warns him about the fact that getting it back means also getting back the riot blood effect and whatnot. He can choose to stay a normal human as he is now.
Iori takes the magatama's back though and with it, his maniacal laugh. The girls wonder whether it's too bad for him or if he's happier that way, then disappear by saying they'll probably reappear "on night(s) where the moon is full".
