Elizabeth and Mature are confirmed now for the console versions (LINK)

Mai, Blue Mary and K' have shown up in art but have yet to be confirmed so we'll see.

Will be my first KoF title and it's sad that my only knowledge extends from pretty much Saigado's doujins I wonder if Vice will be included since Mature is.

I was hoping that some of the more prolific characters would show up. I saw the roster for the arcade version and saw all the people I don't like show up save for Terry and a couple others. The art is 100% badass but the roster needs a LOT of work.

Honestly, I was never to in to KoF, mainly cus I only like a few select characters. The rest just seem like Street Fighter rejects.

Awesome I love KOF but with each installment of the game they add some and remove some characters which is kind of annoying. I'm sure I'll dig this one too, would like to see K' as well.

I believe KoF 2003 is considered one of the best because it has (almost) everyone.

I think you saw wrong, only Mai and K' have shown up in art. If i'm wrong feel free to correct me

And the roster of this game sucks donkey balls, i think i'm gonna skip this one.


Actually, 2003 cut out a lot of classic characters.
Usually the best KOF are considered 2002 ,'98 and XI
And KOF 2002 Unlimited Match (PS2) has almost everyone (pre-2003)

The same 'image' that was reference for Mai and K' being shown in XII's art style also shows who I think is Mary right next to Mai.

Then again, could be entirely wrong cause it looks like Shermie is in the back too.

2003 is horrible man.. dont know where u got ur info. 98 and 2002 are the best imo

That is a background showing the arts of KOF 2002 Unlimited Match (done by the artist Hiroaki), it doesn't fit with the art style of XII like the K' and Mai's arts (done by Ogura IIRC).

Man this is gonna be great love KoF and the graphic style in XII looks awesome hopefully they will include a HUGE fighter roster too that would be the cherry on top of things

That's why I said I BELIEVE, not that it is. I remember someone telling me a few years back that 2003 or 2002 was the best. I didn't remember which one.

The game is out now... any unlockable characters? is this the final rostor?

So yeah, the game is out but I heard it's quite buggy and pretty bad. That said, I haven't actually played it yet.

What a disappointing excuse for a game. I guess they're going to put that direct link to the Marketplace/PSN Store to good use. Woulda been nice to get the whole game for $60.

Also, my friend bought KoF 2003 for his arcade cabinet. That game rocks... To each his own I guess.

I dig 2003 too. I like most of the series.

This game was a let-down!

So few characters?No Mai??
what the fock?
