I don't like characters without a Hadouken-ish move, I'm such a cheap fighter!

K9999 · Sep 18, 2002

I think a few lines from South Park will sum this up quite nicely...

Cartman: Dude, the Simpsons have done everything already. Who cares?
Stan: Yeah, and they've been on the air for like, thirteen years. Of course they've done everything.
Mr.Garrison: Every idea's been done, Butters, even before the Simpsons.
Chef: Yeah. In fact, that episode was a rip-off of a Twilight Zone episode.
Butters: Really? So I shouldn't care if I come up with an idea, and the Simpsons already did it. It... uh...doesn't... matter. Everything is back to normal, a, I think... I think I can go back to tryin' to destroy the world again.
Chef: Good for you!
Cartman: Yeah, that's great Butters. Now get the hell out of my room.

That pretty much goes for everything, most things have been done to death, so who cares if people bite other peoples ideas.

I don't care that K'9999 gives tribute to akira....The idea that it was constructed in EXACT retrospect of a character is just rediculous...

He isn't a tribute to Akira, he is a tribute to Tetsuo. <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. K999 is horribly out of place in the King of Fighters' universe, as is 90% of the newer characters.

What the hell is Lin? Or Angel? Or Hinaku? They're all rip-offs of various anime archetypes. Just make a new game, a new franchise for this type of stuff.

Never said he fit in, just said biting peoples style/ideas is not such a bad thing.

While I don't like all of the new characters, many of them like Kula, Ramon, Seth, Vanessa, May Lee, and even Foxy seem to fit in quite nicely. Only ones I would say don't fit in since 00' are K9999 and Hinako, or if you want to go as far back as 99' Bao.

if you hate k'999 take the whole k' line with him... meaning... krizalid clone of kyo.. k' imperfect clone of krizalid... and k'9999 supposed perfect and last clone of k'...but they all revolve around KYO... <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

Hiroya · Sep 19, 2002

....Go ahead..Take away all the K's..i'm fine with that...Why would you include so many new characters..But they're not new...They're ALL rip-offs...100% ripoffs..And actually..You can't say it's a ripoff of Tetsuo alone..Because!!! Tetsuo couldn't do schiet without Akira...It is because of Akira that tetsuo became a character in which an homage was worthy.

KingOfAngels · Sep 19, 2002

question..... if whip is k' sis.. and krizalids.. is he k9999 sis too?? and kyo's???? <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

Hot Chocolate · Sep 19, 2002

Maybe they were running out of character design??? Or just lazy <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

KingOfAngels · Sep 19, 2002

Well the only thing that is diffrent is the moves the style and emotions..... other than that they are the same people than before... <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

I am quite agree with K9999 on this one. Everythings been done already. I'd much rather see a Tetsuo clone than another character in a gee or a vest. K9999 and K' respectively both play rather well and K9999 is my favorite new character over the last 3 years. Who cares if he looks like Tetsuo and has the same voice actor. Storyline wise he fits right in with Nests as being the ultimate mennace. I just so happens that he looks, sounds, and acts like one of the greatest anime/manga characters of all time. That and he is just damn cool

Whip is really the deranged lovechild of Saisyu Kusanagi and Vice.

Hiroya · Sep 20, 2002

He knows that, he is just using the logical association. But think about it....Look how young Vice is..And I don't think Saisyu is mentally capable of having children.. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" /> <img src="graemlins/eek2.gif" border="0" alt="[Eek 2]" />

ShikiMikoto · Sep 20, 2002

funny, isn't it...Vice absolutely hates Saisyu...see their intro in '98?

evil wasabi · Sep 20, 2002

Tetsuo is cool but how about a Shinji Clone or a Rei Clone?

And is it me or is Iori looking more and more like Spike Spegal?

KingOfAngels · Sep 20, 2002

So basicly is K'9999 is hated wouldent K', Krizalid , and Kyo also be hated?? They might play a little diffrent with some diffrent moves but its the same person... <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

What chu talkin bout willis???? <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

Orochi_Flava · Sep 21, 2002

They need to figure out what Clone really means... They aren't really clones of each other from the looks of it...they are just infused with that orochi flame stuff. I got a good laught when I played alpha 3 and they said that Cammy was a clone of bison. As for our k' series..for clones they don't look, act, or fight anything like kyo.

Going back to the topic of K9999, a friend of mine thinks he is voiced by the same person who did the (japanese) voice of Tetsuo in Akira.

Can anyone confirm this?

Yepp, it is the exact same voice actor. Was announced officialy last year.

K9999 · Sep 22, 2002

toy_brain

He is voiced by Sasaki Nozomu, the same man who did the japanese voice over for Tetsuo. So yes, it is the same guy.

toy_brain · Sep 22, 2002

Thought so.
Kinda cements the whole 'tribute' thing I guess.

Incedentaly, I dont see K9999 as being any more out of place than the rest of the motley crew that makes up KoF.

Pop Idols, annoying brats, waitresses with stretchy faces, little gay Jazz-singers with spikey gloves, and Vash the Stampede's slightly more camp brother - all in there and all a bunch of misfits

K9999 may look weird..but he's not any more out of place than choi and chang...
