Gameplay talk aside, the character portraits look like ass, I wonder who made them.
I hope it's not the same who drew the KoF2k1 chara artwork, this guy should lay off the pencils and photo-chop his hands off.
It's beyond me why they let this anime-style crawl into every goddamn game... watching artwork like this for more than 10 mins. makes me physically sick.... and honestly, actually I'm happy that SNKP never changed the sprites of certain charas, just imagine for a sec some of them would resemble their their chara portraits... OH MY GOD.... so Fio would look like a mix of Mr. Spock and a gay elf from LotR, eh?
Bah.
