The Neo Geo Land level looks really nice. I hope they add people to it.
Really happy to see old/classic KOF backgrounds -- such as the NEO-GEO LAND location -- being brought back for the new game.

Leona's alternate outfit... I thought her hair was blue, not pink!
My guess was that they figured her hair turns pink when she does the "riot of the blood" thing, so why not.
I really dig the 2P Mai costume -- especially with the giant beads on her tassles being changed to giant bells.
I much prefer the 2P Soiree costume (much more Capoeirista) to his 1P German-with-a-cowboy-fetish gear (although it tended to give me a wry smirk whenever I saw it). His 2P hair makes me want to play Rick Strowd, tho'.
Not sure what to make of the 2P Clark Still -- I'd kind of expected a variation on his Ikari Warriors duds to go along with 2P Ralf. But I kind of like the 2P Clark design, just 'cause it's so radically different from what I'd expected.
I really want to see some better angles on the 2P Yuri costume -- just because I'm not sure exactly how the whole thing looks. I'm liking this one, too, just 'cause it's unexpected. I guess that's why I've been looking forward to this game more and more with each passing week's news & info -- everything about it (especially how well it plays, according to those who've tried it at E3 and elsewhere) runs so contrary to my initial thoughts ("feh, this isn't going to be much of a game -- just a money-making scheme"). Really looking forward to this one.

And that new chick, I forget her name, the streak of white in her hair reminds me of Rouge.
You mean the new
male character,
Alba Meira? I'm curious about the comedically-designed blonde (boss?) character Alba's squaring off against in 2 of those screenshots. I think the reason I'm liking the 2P versions of Leona, Mai, and Yuri so much is that they're not "fluff" designs -- there's a believable realism to each of them (when they could have easily gone the other way and -- as Cain Highwind said -- given them DOA-style revealing fan-service outfits more appropriate at a swimming pool or fashion show than a back-alley street fight).
