Rasa, I agree about them being very different. I myself hadn't even considered the comparison until I started seeing it repeated so many times by others, hence my juxtaposition here. In any case, your J-Rock referrence is perfect. Which serves to strengthen my point.
J-Rockers look like dorks, Iori looks like a J-Rocker, Iroi looks like a dork.
Seriously, I think the only reason they are compared in the first place has to do with the fact that both of them have the scratchy, girly moves and both have triple quater circle moves. Just a guess.
I have to agree. every time Iook at Iori, I think, waiter. When I first played KOF, I thought Iori's part time job was that of a waiter. Iori's fighting style's ok
Freeman, is the evil scary guy™. thats it, there will be more to him from sequels of course.
I've never been the one to really like the evil guy. Iori, akuma, Freeman, even K'.
There has to be something like a tragedy, to make them real. Kensou is a real guy, his personality is real. Akuma and the like, have histories, but they're never explored after the initial tale.
Basara is an exception.
