Mostly nice artworkfrom Falcoon there.

Maxima looks a little dumpy (shorter) and Whip looks like she's wearing pantaloons a little bit (she has a pretty face though.) Otherwise a great job there, Falcoon san;) !

Ok... I checked up the dictionary for "pantaloons" o_O

Meant "trousers" :D

Hmm well I dunno, If those aren't trousers; what are they then?
Is there a specific word for ladies' trousers? :P

I think she looks great in that artwork.
Though Falcoon didnt really consider her fringy layered hair details... Her overall look is one of the best I've seen^^
And she has a good figure in this one too :)
Oh and nice boots! hehe

Well I posted in the other thread regarding the character artworks too...

Like I've said before,

I think K's leather trousers are kinda bit high up... should've been slightly below the waist...
But he still owns though :D

Maxima looks fine, his nose looks rather sharper than the other characters xD

Ryo looks very identical to one of Falcoon's Ryo artwork from his site.

Robert looks very 70's... classy! Wonder if those coins can be used as projectiles too(lol... Johnny from GGX)

Yuri looks bland... but her face is kinda cute at least :)

The AOF team is ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Damn,somebody really loves the AOF characters but why not mature them and give them new outfits?? removinmg one of the three and adding K.BUTT would have been an outstanding decision..
The artwork is great though.

That's kind of what I was thinking.

When I first saw this thread title I thought it might be something exciting, like the inclusion of a really old character like John Crawley, or Lee Pai Long, but it's only Ryo, Robert, and Yuri again.

You're right, nice art though.

I wish it was Ryo,Robert,Marco instead. Oh well, there's always next year.

There's also always SVC Chaos, which in a way, is way more in keeping with the 'King of Fighters' tradition, than KOF is.

good news guys , kofonline.com has updated with an (english) translation to the k team story , and here it is (kinda long) :

It was a 90-odd year-old man who paid a visit to this room without a room number. He bore white long hair and beard and he fondled his gourd while he walked along.

He then knocked onto the door with his gourd. The resulting noise revealed sound of liquid in his gourd. It was wine.

Chin: "Anybody in there? Open the door, young man."

The door opened, but with its safely chain secured, revealing a gap of only a few centimeters wide. The man behind the door had dark brown skin and silvery hair, donning a black leather jacket and a red glove over the palm that was holding the door.

K': "It's you... Is anything the matter...?"

Chin: "I'm Chin Gentsai. I'm sure you've remembered me after our matches last time?"

K': "...Oh. Yes?"

Chin did not reply. Instead, he knocked lightly on the door's chain, hinting that he expected to be invited into the room.

However, K' simply looked back at him quietly from a height difference of twenty centimeters.

Maxima: "Hey, K'. You should be respecting the elderly, yay?"

Maxima's face had appeared above K', from a height him by another twenty centimeters.

Maxima: "So it's Chin Sensei. Please come in."

Reaching from above K's shoulder, Maxima loosened the door chain and invited Chin in.

Chin: "Thanks. The young one should be properly educated."

Chin's breath contained the smell of wine as he spoke.

Maxima: "......?"

Looking into the eyes of the arrogant 'young man', Chin frowned. However, nobody had noticed it, given his long fringe covering his forehead.

K' (spitting a little onto the side): "Poor old man."

Having lived nearly for a century, Chin ignored K's behaviour and took out an envelope containing The King of Fighters invitation card.

Chin: "You like this? KOF."

K' (angrily): "Old man, if you wanna play pranks on me, I'd be glad to take you on..."

If not held back by Maxima, K' would have lifted Chin up brutally.

Maxima: "My partner can't take jokes. He's not used to socialising."

K': "Hmph."

Chin (ignoring K'): "We've felt the 'evil aura' again. This time, it's an aura more powerful than that of Orochi's and NESTS."

Maxima: "Please continue. Hm... But sensei, why have you come especially for us? You and your disciples can easily trace down this 'evil aura' during the KOF tournament like in the previous years?"

Chin (sighed): "Good point. However, this will not work out for us this year. Those two kids..."

In the previous tournament, a mysterious and powerful aura had awakened Sie Kensou and Bao. At the moment, both of them were training hard somewhere.

Chin: "We four will not be participating this year. This will be our best option for now."

Maxima: "Wait a minute. You said, four?"

Chin: "Yes."

Maxima: "So that includes that popular idol singer?"

Chin: "You mean Athena? Yes."

Maxima then activated his self-programmed built-in device to search the Internet for the tournament's roster. As it was widely publicised, he had no difficulty locating the list.

Maxima: "Hm? Looks like her name has already been confirmed on the tournament's name list?"

Chin (shockingly): "Is it! ...Really!!"

Athena had found another two team members and registered for the tournament behind Chin's back .

Chin: "How can this be! How could Athena... do such things without informing me!"
Maxima: "But... even if she did not inform you, it should be very easy to find out about it right? Like what I just did..."

Maxima did not know how to what more to say, seeing the Chin in shock.

Chin: "Oh no. She must have made used of her concert rehearsal as an excuse... Why can't she understand that this year's enemy cannot be defeated just with her last-minute team?"

Maxima: "What about canceling her registration and bringing her back, Chin Sensei?"

Chin: "No... Although Athena is a kind girl by nature, she is very stubborn. She will not go back on things she has decided. I'm afraid Athena has been prepared to fight against the 'evil aura'."

Maxima: "......"

Chin: "This is exactly what I need to discuss with you guys. I hope you can take good care of her, being her 'seniors'!"

Chin ended his conversation in a serious tone.

The 'aura' this time was similar to that of the Orochi's but with some differences. Besides this, nothing else about this 'aura' was known.

Also, this mysterious 'aura' had very deep relationship with Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami.

This evil presence was much stronger than that of the Orochi's and even the combined forces of Kyo and Iori would not match it. Furthermore, both of them were still on bad terms.

However, there was still hope.

If the powers of the 'evil aura' were really that powerful, the force of technology had to intervene... For example, with this second Kyo Kusanagi.

Maxima: "We understand now, Chin Sensei. We will act as a 'backup'."

K': "We're more like 'scouts'. We are just there to 'set the stage' for that Kusanagi."

Chin: "...Whatever it is, I hope you guys will be prepared for the tough battles ahead."

Maxima: "Anyway, there might be a chance that we are to clash against that Kusanagi during the tournament."

Chin: "If that really happens, only the stronger who prevails will be deserving to face against the 'evil aura'."

Maxima: "Understood, Chin Sensei. Looks like there's no escaping from this year's tournament again. Fine with you?"

K' (emotionless): "Hmph."

Chin then bowed his head low in appreciation and said, "In that case, thanks a lot."

K' shifted his eyes away from the bowing Chin.

Maxima: "Alright, so our participation is confirmed. K' and I, and..."

Chin: "Hmm, what about your last team member? That young girl with the chestnut-coloured hair? No, she's too young. She looks even younger than Athena."

K': "No worries. There's a professional for us to choose from."

Maxima: "Professional?"

K': "Yeah, Maxima."

Chin: "Oh, I see. But that queen is still... Hmm, which mercenary section is she in now?"

Maxima: "Leave that to me. We'll have to depend on you for all the tournament procedures and documentation however."

Chin: "Alright. I sure got a lot of work to do then."

A fortnight later.

After completing her current mission, Whip had been assigned to a new task.

[To participate in the KOF tournament with K' and Maxima as a team.]

Chin had approached the mercenary leader Heidern and told him about his bad feeling behind this upcoming KOF tournament. They would be deploying their soldiers alongside the tournament's progress.

The battle had not ended. [end of story]

they havent updated with the AOF team story yet , but they probably will .

I'd be nice to see 2nd AOF team:

Karman Cole
Mr. Karate
Mr. Big

They just seem like a perfect combination

Sincerely... besides Ryo, Robert, Takuma, Yuri, King, Mr. Big, Kasumi and perhaps Eiji and John Crawley... the AOF cast kinda suck. There's a reason why you don't see them more often...

BTW, this is just an opinion.

I don't know why so many people like John... He's okay, but he's a mere Guile clone, only much less cool.

Thanks for the story post, No Style!

Very cool. I like the idea that Sie and (urgh) Bao are off training. Maybe they'll return as bad-asses, with Bao grown-up and Sie less of a cheese nugget. And Chin calling K' the other Kyo Kusanagi, a "back-up" against this new threat... I like the very storied direction this game is taking. It's almost as if...gulp...there is a master plan!:buttrock:

We may be in for the best KOF yet.
