Description

UPDATE: Major overhauled and revamped screen here. I wasn't that satisfied with the first version, so I've made a better one :)

My KoF Neowave 2 wishlist, because SNK needs to do one after the success XIII got. Here's the rundown

1st row:
Kyo, Benimaru, Goro, Shingo, Iori, Mature, Vice, Ein, Terry, Andy, Joe and Duck King

2nd row:
Ryo, Robert, Takuma, Yuri, Elisabeth, Duo Lon, Shen Woo, Oswald, Mai, King, Kasumi and Chizuru

3rd row:
Athena, Sie, Bao, Momoko, Kim, Chang, Choi, Jhun, Rock, B. Jenet, Gato and Tizoc

4th row:
K', Kula, Maxima, Foxy & Diana, Leona, Clark, Ralf, Whip, Billy, Raiden, Hwa Jai and Yamazaki

5th row:
Blue Mary, Ramon, Vanessa, Nameless, Alba, Lein, Luise, Xia Long, Malin, Hotaru, Hinako and May Lee

6th row:
Heidern, Saisyu, Chin, Tung Fu, Yashiro, Chris, Shermie, Orochi, Eiji, Angel, Adel and Ash

Ok, here's the other rundown:
I've gotten my new inspiration here. [link]
Here's what prompted me to update my screen

I've tried to get into team of 4. However, I couldn't find some sprites to polish them up, so some characters seem unaffiliated to the rest. I'll try to update it when I get my hands on the missing sprites. I'm currently looking for:
- Seth
- Souji Kusanagi
- Gai Tendo
- Lucky Glauber
- Heavy D!
- Alfred
- Li Xiangfei
- Mr. Big
- Silber
- Lee Pai Long
- Todo
- Maki Kagura
- Ron
- Any other Maximum Impact character

If you ever find these sprites lying around the web, can you please tell me in the comments? That would be appreciated a lot.
I've also found a few other sprites like Geese, Rugal, Magaki, Zero, Igniz, Shion, Mukai and such, but since I can't find other characters to team them up with, I'd rather wait until I find more of them and then add them to my screen.

I've paired up Foxy and Diana together. Ok, look, they're always together, as Kula's [passionate] guardians (no, seriously, Kula seems rather embarrassed when they cuddle her before and after a match), but we barely have seen them in action. Foxy was playable in only one KOF game and that was a while ago. So, what I'd like to get is Foxy and Diana fighting together, much like Juli and Juni do in Capcom's Street Fighter Alpha 3 or like Chang and Choi in Capcom vs SNK 2. Then again, I'd like them to get a special move that has one tag the other. That would mean that Kula would need a new desperation move, but hey, she has to potential to pull out one on her own, does she... ? Beside, we've gotten alternate versions of Kyo (the real one) and Iori in KOF 13, so I don't see how getting a new version of Foxy paired with Diana would do any harm.

What's your opinion on KOF XIII ?
(Wall of text ahoy folks !)
+ I like the upgrade over XII.
+ I like the art style.
+ I like how they upgraded the 2D engine.
+ I like the characters.
+ I like the content.
+ I like the stages.
+ I love the fact that it concludes a story arc.
+ I like the mecanics.
- I hate the fact that XIII was supposed to be KOF XII. Seriously, that last game is nothing more than a tech demo with nice graphics, but crappy online, lack of characters, lack of special moves (Terry was missing 2 specials and 1 super), lack of stages and the lack of a story. I swear, you can connect XI to XIII, but XII doesn't NOTHING to tie the story. Furthermore, I thought at first that SNK should have gone with 3D models on 2D planes like SSFIV. They could have taken the Maximum Impact models, upgraded them to next-gen and just add the characters they wish. I loosened my doubts about the series and their 2D roots when XIII came out though.
- I hate some of the sprites.
* Why Terry is back with his red torn-sleeve jacket and hat when it's been a few games where he wore his brown coat ?
* Why are Clark and Ralf over-steroided ?
* Why is King missing her purple vest or jacket ? She looks bland.
* Why is Leona missing her green jacket ? She looks bland as well.
- I hate that some characters are still missing some moves, especially King.
- I hate that there is no voice-acting during cutscene, because it becomes dull after a while.
- I hate that there is no English voicework. Seriously, I thought that was a norm these days.
- I hate the trials. Good grief... you know in other games like SSFIV, UMvC3 and BBCS where it's like "normal, normal, normal, special, special, normal, special, super" ? Yeah, well here, it's more like "normal, normal, normal, special, special, special, special, EX special, special, super, super". Ouch...
- I hate the cameos. Dude, nearly all of the characters of the series that didn't make it in the roster are somewhere in a cutscene. I really hate that, because they should be playable.

Here's the last rundown: credits, taken from sites like The Fighter's Generation ([link]), Mugen Guild ([link]) and Deviant Art

Fatal Fury was a nice choice but i would've paired Duck with the USA Sports team.
