No Yamazaki? Fail. Kim/Raiden/Hwa Jai is a pretty interesting team, I wonder how Hwa evolved since 1991.

If you look at the order, it seems that Elizabeth is in charge of Duo and Shen.

Elizabeth/Duo Lon/Shen
Kyo/Benimaru/Daimon
Iori/Mature/Vice
Terry/Andy/Joe
Athena/Kensou/Chin
Kim/Hwa Jai/Raiden
Ryo/Robert/Takuma
Ralf/Clark/Leona
Ash/Boss/Dark Ash <--- I assume you beat Ash first, then the boss character, Ash stealing his/her powers and Dark Ash as the final villain.
Mai/King/Yuri
Iori '98
Billy

32 characters plus 7 bad allocations that could possibly be more characters = 39.

This game really could have been so much more. =|

I guess this confirms those characters. Too bad there's no K'/Kula

As long as they bring Boss and Dark Ash over as DLC im game 98 Iori and Billy as well.

that would be a waste of DLC in my opinion. a Boss and a supposedly intended boss/final boss of the story arc that wouldn't even be playable. And without cutscenes, there would be no logic in adding these bosses that will naturally be broken gameplay wise, and empty storywise without complete cutscenes, original backgrounds, and endings.

98 Iori should be saved for KOFXIII. we already have one version of Iori, we need more different people, which is why I agree with your request for Billy Kane as DLC. People like him, Mai and one or two others would be fine as DLC, but the rest should be saved for KOFXIII.

but since this topic was posted at the sametime as my other topic, I'll share my findings here:

the extra characters must be when they were planning on making XII complete the Ash Saga, but after 4 years and needing more time to finish the rest, they knew they needed to start making money before they were forced to layoff employees, so they made KOFXII into a dream match with the ones they had done already.

even if KOFXII gets character DLC, don't expect all of these listed to be added as DLC, because of course they want to give KOFXIII(13) characters KOFXII didn't have, and of course DarkAsh proves that's one of the bosses for the final chapter of the saga. so things like that will be saved for KOFXIII.

but I'm impressed with the data. this proves they intended Takuma to return as part of the AOF team.

and Yuri would reunite with Mai and King to form the Women's team again.

and Vice is alive as well. and it seems they planned to add 98 version of Iori to the game, but yeah, the rest of the characters were a tad too ambitious with the time it takes to finish these sprites. but which ones will be DLC and which ones are saved for KOFXIII are anyone's guess.

also
.data:827B06F0 .long aBadAllocation # "bad allocation" 7 lines hint that there were at least 7 other characters planned to be added as well (K', Kula, Maxima, Blue Mary, Ramon, Vanessa and one other...Adelheid?) but like I said, there wasn't time and money to add everyone after 4 years (normally a game like Elder Scrolls IV takes 4 years to develop. which shows how much work was put into the KOFXII sprites, considering KOF used to be released every year since sprites were simpler and easier back then.)

Oooh Yuri and King I hope both get new costumes! I'm partial to Yuri's "Another" look from MI. King just needs to look sexier. Everyone knows she's a chick now if you know what I mean. The Cynthia Rothrock look is. . .I never liked it.

Of course this is still DLC speculation but interesting news nonetheless.

Oh Yeah Billy too! And BTW:

FIX THE NETCODE!

Thats the thing, I have respect for lip buster so Im not pissing on his find, but this could just be a helluva lot of BS some dude in the East came up with.

It definatly wouldnt be the first time someone tried to trick people into thinking there were other characters in the game.

If it is real though, it just makes me depressed looking at whats missing.

[MegaXtreme]

So they seriously put K' in the anniversary logo, and then they're not even so much as planning to put him in? That is, if this is legit.

I like the cast they're deciding to add. Iori '98 is full of win. However, I'm disappointed that K' isn't listed here. I hope this isn't real, for that reason.
