SON OF RUGAL!

wouldn't that be bad ass??

It could be discovered that he had some kind of child with Mature, and he was never really revealed in the story. perhaps rugal could have trained him soon before he died.

I would LOVE to see some new character doing the genocide cutter, as long as it wasn't the boss. i think it would be so cool.

I know it would kind of be Rock-ish, but i still would kill for this to happen.

I really hope they make someone NEW for the main character, cause i have a feeling it's going to be Kula.

1) Vice
2) Yamazaki
3) US Sports Team
4) Freeman
5) Bonne Jenet
6) Kim Dong Hwan
7) Raiden/Big Bear

These are doable in KOF. I won't even ask for Bonus Kun or Zangief or the MK cast.

Either Terry (LONG overdue for a Hero role in the tournament he made famous) or Geese... I think it'd be interesting having a villain as the main character, with the objective being wiping up the floor with the good guys.

Yeah Rugal's son idea is great...
Just take a look at the unused art in KOF 98/99 in PSX, they have some cool characters

The Rugal son idea is nice, for the Genocide Cutter and stuff... but to follow the storyline, I think it would be better to have a Krizalid son wanting revenge on NESTS, or maybe someone from K's and Whip's unknown past, like their father or something...

Ryo Sakazaki. If NEST destroys every trained Kyokugen student it pissed Ryo off really.

Geese Howard is another thing. NEST is holding Southtown and Geese want it back!!

I badly want the boss team back.

Andy Bogard should take the light with his troop of ninjas. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> And perhaps further his relationship with Mai. But the way hes looks now(KOF2k1) I am quite pleased. The whole "Andy & Mai's kid" is played out now. Perhaps another student a little less silly, older and more serious.

PoOF!

I too would love to see a villain as the main character. Male or Female. Aslong as they're not 'cutesy'. I've been rooting for the supposed villains for some time now.

Krizalid isn't a old man, he is only 29/30 years old, his son will be be 5/7 years and that's not cool

How can Ripper and hopper fight ? I don't think this will happen, maybe Kain or Rock... But Ripper and Hopper, no chance...

yeah, son of Krizalid would be bad ass...

but it wouldn't make too much sense, because he never really had a girl he banged/hung around with.

Now Rugal, he was mac'n with Vice and Mature. Maybe his son could be named Vimaru, (Vice, Mature, Rugal) cause they had a huge orgy and stuff and out came a child. and then Rugal disappeared, and Vice and Mature got pac'ed by Iori.

too bad... it won't happen. didn't they say there was going to be a new main character in KOF2K1?

I'm pretty sure i saw K'. maybe it's supposed to be on the other side or something.

Anyway, KOF2K1 looks SO bad ass. i told you Korea wouldn't fuck up KOF.

i want it BAAAAAD.

Terry Bogard deserves to re-establish his #1 ranking in the SNK fighter hierarchy...

Andy Bogard has paid his dues for roughly TEN YEARS...

Ryo Sakazaki is SNK's #2 fighter (although he gives Terry quite a run for the money)

Robert Garcia is about Ryo's equal (he actually got the main character focus in AoF3, which was a sweet surprise IMO).

How about Kim Kap Hwan (or Kim Kaphwan, however you read it <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">) He's paid his dues, is a heck of a talented fighter, and is fairly popular in the SNK universe. I'd like to see him become more serious, though; like he was in his early FF appearances.

Basically, I'd like to see either of the Bogard brothers receive top priority. Maybe Andy next year, then Terry the next (Andy's probably my favorite character, but Terry should always be the best fighter IMO).

On the other side of the fence, Geese Howard is to SNK villains what Terry Bogard is to SNK heroes. The best in their field. He's pining for a return. Krauser wouldn't hurt, either.

And how about the Jin Twins? I always thought they had potential as the creepy-powerful kids. Their build-up in FF3 was flawless. They're too good to fade into obscurity.

Kim Kaphwan is SNK's answer to Guy. Give the great Tae Kwan do master his due time as main character. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

How about Eiji Kasaragi? He's anti Ryo and SNK's answer to Strider.

It would be awesome to see a villian like Geese Howard to be the main character and win, but then everyone would be dead since Geese is no "better like next time" guy.

Personally, I'd like to see Athena as main character, or maybe Mary... but that's just me. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Kim Kaphwan needs to step in the spotlight for once, he kicks too much ass.

But seriously, it would be so awesome if they just, for once, broke the idea of making the main characters the focus on the storyline and just as a twist, made a side character win the tournament or defeat the NESTS cartel.

Seriously though, I wouldn't mind seeing a 2nd or third-tier character take center stage. It would be an interesting twist to see Benimaru (or King, or Joe, or even Shingo) become the hero of that game. Think about it...
