I don't see him on that character select screen. Am I missing something?

Hmmm, interesting. It sure looks like Rugal is being used on a stage other than the boss stage. Yet, everything seems to be geared toward advertising classic kyo (that movelist is undoubtably Kyo's). I'm sure this will be cleared up in the next few days. Thanks for the heads up :)

I'm guessing that on the right is his movelist (it looks like it) and at the bottom is his ending (I'm guessing).

You never know he might be a hidden character. <img src="graemlins/eye.gif" border="0" alt="[Eye]" />

OMG nobody has a clue what this means to me. In 98 I would use the normal version of rugal as a 'anti air' MACHINE.. This totally rocks...

Look at that picture of the yellow arrow going around the roster. Perhaps thats a hint to the code. A full rotation of the roster starting on Kyo?

I think that's the easier method of getting Kusanagi. That's why the arrow is on Kyo.

As I said before, that can't be Rugal's movelist. Do you see the command for the Kaiser Wave in there anywhere(F, HCF A or C)? I guess they could have changed it, but the DMs match those for classic kyo exactly. As for the ending shots, check the "Rugal's New Look" thread in the KOF forum. Those are just the generic ending shots that every team gets.

Take a look at the actual moves themselves. Those are definitely Kyo's, though he has some kind of bk, dwn, dwn-bk+P move. That's probably his old reversal. The images of Rugal are probably just from everyone's ending.

At any rate, if he's not selectable by code, he'll probably be available via DIP switch on MVS and I'm sure he'll be selectable on the AES version.

Hi~
Seem nobody understand chinese here, I help you guys out.

Translation;
Its stated that you can use KYO 95 as a hidden character, the move list is for KYO.

The code is as follow;
start from KYO, move the joystick up, right, down, left and up back to kyo and push any Button (A,B,C,D) (Follow the diagram arrows as shown.)

His moves is the same as 95 + 97.
no new moves, got back his SDM as (2 fireball motions); See moves list.
Saishuu Kessen Ougi "Mu Shiki

Nothing is mention about using of RUGAL or his moves.
Pictures is for Ending,(after defeating RUGAL)
He explode his plane with himself(again?) <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />
Disappear into thin Air.
Comes Heidern to clear the mess.
Next, bonus teaser used in Fatal Fury endings.
jokes using the KOF character sprites.

I think this game look more and more like KOF 98 recycle. Can't see any new moves or new characters.

(PS; KOF 2002 is out in Sinagpore arcades. going to check it out later.
See if I can post a first impression for you guys.) <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

Well i have a theory...

Look at the yellow arrow in the character screen...

And then look at the screenshots next to it. You can see both Rugal AND KYO'95 with his old outfit of kof94-98.

So the code of the yellow arrow may be to choose Rugal or Kyo... And that's the interesting part... You can make 3 concentric circles (one starting with kyo, another starting with benimaru and a third one starting with goro) so probably you could choose three hidden fighters: Kyo95, Rugal and SHINGO

What do you think?

Unfortunetly it looks like all the characters are reused, but some have new animations... The pictures I have seen of Rugal look straight out of 98... oh well, I get to play it this weekend! Then I can say more about Kof2K2... Anyone been down to Golfland yet? Do they have it on the big "New Game" Neo Geo setup where ROTD was?

That's Kyo's old movelist... it even has all the numbered "Type" stuff (all in Kanji, natch).

Has anyone heard anything about Shingo being available, by the way?

The urge to drive to LA to play this sucker just got a little bit worse...

Seriously though, I've got some vacation time coming up...I need to go out and play this thing to see whether or not I wanna fork out the big bucks to score this beast on MVS.

I *think* I've read somewhere that mentions Shingo is a hidden character in this game...
