The game looks like it could truly be a winner.
a few quik notes off the top of my head:
+ Character sprites look really good. it is GREAT to see terry go MOTW.
+ Special effets and the life bars also look fresh and great.
+ backrounds range from eccelent to AMAZING. That roof top back round with the SNK and neo geo neon signs in the back round is to die for.
- Ash looks absolutely horrible. one of the WORST character designes that I have seen in a long time (games wise or other) Playmore should be ashamed.
- Strong homosexual themes and character design is just to over emphasized in this instalment. I know SNK had to have a few boys from "the other side of the fence" ( not that there's anything wrong with that) working with them, but this is just insane.
- promo artwork (posters, flyers, not the in game stuff) is nice, but just not my cup of tea. it looks like it belongs on the cover of a kof comic from hong kong (I would know as I have some of them)
- Character select screen is dull and boring, just like 02's
