Future KOF characters

I was looking over some old posts about the characters in KOF. It looks as if most of the original KOF cast (From 94) was made up of a collection of characters from past KOF games. The USA team was taken from various sports games, Athena from Psycho Soldier, Ralf and Clark the Ikaris, etc.

Now it's about 6-7 years later, and from each addition since 94, all we've had are fresh new characters made specifically for KOF. I'm not saying it's bad, but why can't they just take more characters from existing games and just transform them and give them a good storyline? And I'm not just talking about Fatal Fury or Art of Fighting characters, just anyone from any other classic SNK game.

We've also seen a few characters make cameos as strikers, but I'm talking about actual playable characters. I think it would be interesting to see them fit into the story too.

Yeah, they need more classic characters, as I play KOF 2000 and look at the strikers, I think, Man! They should be regular characters in the game! Syo,Baedal,and Gai would be my top picks. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Ya Kof need More Classic and power ful character

What about a team composed of Marco, Fio, and the other 2 memebrs of the Metal Slug crew (their names escape me at the present)? Fio is already a striker, so it would be ideal. You could even put Morden and an alien as two of their extra strikers. Just a thought.

I wanna see that Lee Pai masked fighter from the original Art of Fighting. He was pretty cool.

Characters from MotW should also join the newcomers.

What about Samurai Spirits? Is there anyone with good agruments for these characters to join KoF?
I don't think it would make sense at all, caue nothing fits here.
Anyway it would be cool to kick Chang's butt with Genjuro <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
