I know there were rumors about Chin, and that he wasn't going to be in the next KoF. But this is a dream match, not the next chapter of the series. And if they are going for old school gameplay, then it makes sense that Bao should be gone.
No more Bao (for one game at least), thats a blessing

Someone stated in a different forum that Eolith did a poll for their most hated characters, and the ones that placed at the top were Bao, Hinako and Takuma(??). Regardless, if anyone is cut from the Psycho Soldier roster it should be Bao.
There's also another rumor that they are planning to have a team to represent each KOF. Besides the standards (Japan, Iori, Ikari, Psycho Soldier, AOF, Fatal Fury, Korea, Ladies)... they will have one "unique team" that was available in KOF '96-01.
That would mean in KOF '96, that Geese, Mr. Big & Krauser would be a possibility since Iori is already teamed up with Mature & Vice.
KOF '97: The New Faces Team... Yashiro, Shermie & Chris
KOF '98: This one is tricky... it could be one of three possibilities... The first 2 would be Team USA (Lucky, Heavy D & Brian) or the "Seniors Team" (Saishu, Heidern & Takuma). But since Takuma is one of the "most hated", I don't think that would be the selection they would make. One last choice could also be Blue Mary, Yamazaki & Billy Kane since they were available as a team in '97 & '98... but since the "New Faces Team" makes more obvious sense for '97, they could have been used as the "representing team" of KOF '98. Yamazaki & Billy Kane have been confirmed, so this seems to have the most leverage at this point.
KOF '99: That would mean a K', Whip & Maxima team
KOF '00: Vanessa, Seth and Ramon
KOF '01: Probably a NESTs team
Don't quote me on that... it's just a rumor. But if it IS true, then just about everything would be represented.
