This matches perfectly with the roster leak prior to the game's announcement:

SRK

MMCafe

 

[Skilletor]

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I still miss you, Yamazaki.

 

[Zebra_Parade]

Billy working that stare.

Might be coming around to the character models. Hard to tell like this.

 

[Acosta]

"Villains"? After years of Kim trying to educate them, Chang and Choi are now villains again?

Is that Tung Fu Rue in China Team??????

 

[Lights and Waves]

Athena lost the weight! She looks so good! Come through Queen!

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

I like how we're basically getting another women fighters team with the "another world" team. SNK has done a great job balancing out the gender and age diversity with this roster.

Spoiler

Wish I could say the same about the races though, although a slight step up from XIII

 

[spindashing]

Some of the artstyles are different. Is that on purpose?

GEESE though!

 

[Skilletor]

Is that Mr. Karate darkened out in the "boss" box?

"Villains"? After years of Kim trying to educate them, Chang and Choi are now villains again?

Is that Tung Fu Rue in China Team??????

It is. He was revealed a week or two ago:

Mid boss: Millionaire Russian tournament organizer named Antonov (half-naked like Geese and Krauser)

 

[Disaster Nebraska]

I see my favs, so I'm satisfied. Also a lot of unfamiliar characters. Who're those weirdos under the "Villains" section? Do we know?

EDIT: answered below. Thank you!

 

[Fularu]

Where's my boy Kyo? Can't be that first portrait in the Japanese team right?

 

[OSHAN]

Excellent.

 

[spindashing]

My man Shingo got shafted, though.

He'll never be a contender

I miss Saisyu man!

[BadWolf]

Brand new prisoner character
Chang
Choi

Two of those are characters who were introduced back in kof 94 and were last playable in 2002, the guy with the intense stare is new.

 

[IronLich]

I never thought I'd see Nakoruru in an honest to goodness KOF game.

Ok, that doesn't count!

And she's on a team with freakin' Dragon Gal and Love Heart the pirate?

I'm down for some cross dimensional bullshit in my KOF.

 

[Cyber Caesar]

I want to express my mild disappointment that SNK decided to include only 1 black character out 50 possible characters. I know SNK has more black characters, why aren't they represented here?

Word, lol. Thanks.

I wouldn't be upset to see Heavy D! or Lucky Glauber (that last name) come back, dammit.

 

[SargerusBR]

Excellent.

Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball! Psycho Ball!

Wow, thanks, that bring memories.

 

[Vlaphor]

Hmm....I need a better view of Mai, for science!

 

[Disaster Nebraska]

Brand new prisoner character
Chang
Choi

Thank you. That dude with the very intense stare is...something lol.

 

[dem0neyes]

Way more excited for this than I was for SFV. Can't wait.

 

[mejin]

Release date, please!!!

 

[Neoxon]

More leaks than Smash 4 & Street Fighter V combined. Goddamn!

Either way, can't wait to see the remaining characters in 3D. The bosses in particular look interesting.

 

[Scotia]

It's sad that the surprise factor on the characters appearance is now gone but the roster looks good.

 

[Whompa02]

What in gods name is wrong with Athena's neck!?

 

[Zetta]

Hell yeah Geese!, time to Repukken people to death.

 

[Rymuth]

I just realized...where is Vanessa??

 

[BadWolf]

I just realized...where is Vanessa??

Not in.

The new black female character on the South American team is rumored to be a cyborg boxer though.

 

[dragonflys545]

18 New characters? God damn! Hope they are all well balanced.

 

[Neoxon]

I just realized...where is Vanessa??

I've come to terms with the loss of Vanessa a while back. It's time you follow suit.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

Geese is great, but the only way I'd drop the $ day one on this game is if it had Gato or Rock Howard.

I would literally ignore the shitshow graphics and plop the funds down to play either of those two characters again. Would've been Geese, Gato, and Rock for my dream team.

 

[pizzacat]

GEESEE BOOOYYYSS

 

[PorygonVandal]

I love how Mexico's team is two blondes and a dinosaur

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wonder how Geese's butler works.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Southtown new character looks like the butler from HxH

 

[TreIII]

I wonder how Geese's butler works.

Same. I'm hoping he's awesome, but not somebody who's meant to be a "replacement" for Oswald. O is another guy who needs to come back, after all.

 

[xzeldax3]

2016: the year of leaks.

 

[Beckx]

Southtown new character looks like the butler from HxH

gotta say if he had coins for a gimmick that would be pretty cool.

 

[Fandangox]

Southtown new character looks like the butler from HxH

Climax Super Special Move confirmed?

 

[Mechanized]

Do the Mai teaser trailer already!

 

[Manu]

Athena lost the weight! She looks so good! Come through Queen!

This is all I needed to know honestly.

I wonder how they're gonna handle her turning into her older sprites during her ultra though.

 

[narutomaki04]

whoa, a KoF game with Geese again

 

[dragonflys545]

Really hyped for this! Everything about this game sounds so damn good except the graphics. But that's fine! Gameplay > Graphics.
