Agreed OmegaDL50.
I keep trying to think of a good modern example, and I think the closest I can get to is Triborg from MKX. With all the additional "characters" popping up for his Winposes, Fatalities, and Brutalities, it actually is pretty similar to how Athena calls in Psychic images of her friends to cheer her on.
You can even have all those accessories constantly on her body (as part of the mesh or rig) and just turn "on" and "off" whatever is suppose to be seen. Actually, that's exactly how Necalli's Super hair works in SFV.
Isn't there like a hundred costumes in Maximum Impact 2 as well.
So SNK simply doing dozen or so costumes to use for Athena's Psycho 14 move, if she has it that is. Doesn't seem like much in comparison.
Since KOF XIV is using 3D character models, it makes me wonder how they are going to handle alternates anyways. I wonder if will be just a stock selection of different colors, or do they plan to do the Maximum Impact 2 thing with completely different costumes entirely.
Street Fighter IV also did something similar with different costumes too.
I hope SNK plans to announce a release date soon, I need to plan my game purchases to make sure I'll have enough funds to fit in KOF XIV.
