The final boss, Sinobu (again, sic), in KOF EX2 is cheap as hell. Remember Goenitz? Yeah, I thought so. ;)

The kid's pretty much like Goenitz, right down to the outfit.

(S-P-O-I-L-E-R SPOILER!)

And the second form is even worse. Instead of hurricanes, there's a torrent of lightning that takes up half the horizontal range of the screen. Don't get me wrong, it's not a Kobayashi Maru*, but it's a nice little touch that shows you that the KOF'94 developers really had a hand in this game. It's a definite improvement over EX, overall. :D

* If you've seen Star Trek II or read the "Kobayashi Maru" novel, you'll know what it is, but for those who haven't, here goes:

The "Kobayashi Maru" training scenario is essentially the final exam for would-be Federation officers in Star Trek. The scenario puts you on a ship that is outmanned and outgunned, and is more or less crippled. The purpose of the scenario is to ascertain how the potential officer would handle a no-win situation. Only one man has ever "beaten" the scenario--James Tiberius Kirk. (of course, he cheated, but I think in the game "Starfleet Academy" he says, "Consider me a conscientious objector. I don't consider it cheating when the rules of the game are unfair.")

If the first one didn't (did it? :confused: ), I'm not entirely sure if this one will. But it should, if Sammy can commit to a US release date. :p

Also, a note on Sinobu: I don't know if he uses supers on higher difficulty levels. Maybe somebody who's unlocked him knows if he even has one? <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

There is a US release of KOF EX1 but it was made in super short suppy.American Sammy published it according to a letter posted regarding KOF EX1. I think I found that info on mmcafe or kofonline bbs. I have no idea about EX2 but its well worth importing.
