Out of all the neo geo games who gave you the most joy to fight from the roster of secret fighters and why? and have you ever got to a fighter you never knew was in the game.

Mine has got to be geese in AOF2 as at the time i never knew he was in the game so i was shocked to see it continue after i beat mr big and the background was pretty cool too.

also geese in the nightmare stage in real bout was cool.

i was hoping there might have been a secret fighter in kof2002 .

While she wasn't playable,

I got a real kick out of seeing Mai in the Haohmaru and Genan endings of SS1. I also got a kick out of Jubei's reference to the FF2 character.

First time I'd ever seen something like that.

The Ryo appearence in FFS was unprecedented, and I really enjoyed how the background had even more AOF characters in it.

Oh, and since I'm including appearences, the first cool appearence in a Neo game was FF2, where the old guy from SF2 (the supposed Sheng Long from Chun-Li's stage) appeared on a bicycle in the background of Andy's stage and on a scooter in the mid-ground of Kim's stage (where you could knock him off). That was the first time I noticed one game knock another by a different company. Even the instructions to FF2 referenced the old guy.

Mine happens to be Kuroko from Samurai Shodown 2. One of his sword breaker moves, the one where he pauses in between doing it cracks me up. Sure he's cheap and can't lose his sword, but dammit, he's cool!

Yeah, I love Kuroko too. He's just too cool :) .

It's probably because I'm a self-professed SS2 fanboy though wink .

Alfred from Real Bout 2 :)

Overpowered, sure, but cool as fuck nonetheless!

Alfred is the only secret player i never fought against. i did try a couple of times to get to him even going all the way without the loss of a round but still didnt get him but as i didnt like the game too much i stopped playing. i would have like to see the plane crash what i heard as i have recorded all the other secret players i have fought on video for my own amusement incase i never got there again:P

OK, not a Neo character, but a Capcom one, and my favourite secret character of them all: Blood , from the first Star Gladiator . His character design is just plain menacing.

Kuroko in SSII here, i can only vouch for the cd version, but his stage music is the best thing i've ever heard, period.
