Your thoughts on the New Line up for KOF 2003.

[ShinIori]

Lets see...

Singles:
Kyo: Like the new look. They keep changing him. Guess they dunno what to stick with. Glad he got his projectile back.

Iori: Same look. No complaints about that though. Its always been original. Have to see his new LDM.

Hero Team
Ash: Seems a little too much of a..... homo. But we`ll see how that works out.

Overall: A new hero team is always welcome. Lets see how they match up to Kyo, K' and Iori.Forgot the other two team members` names.

K' Team
K': The Beast is back. With the Heaven drive. Heard its some sort of Shoryu Reppa.
Maxima: Of course. We can`t have K' in a team without Maxima.
Whip: Like this addition. Whip has been a favorite of mine.

Overall: This was expected. The lineup for this team was a given.

Japan Team
Benimaru: Strongest Muay Thai fighter in the SNK universe leads this team once again. Can`t have a KOF without this guy. He`s still gay. But in a bad ass way.
Daimon: One of the few grapplers in KOF. After missing 2 years he`s back.
Shingo: He has a Dm with Flames I hear. He`s getting better. Not quite Kyo though.

Overall: I was actually expecting Kyo to be leading Benimaru and Shingo or Daimon. But I guess he`s strong enough as it is. Benimaru makes a good leader though.

Fatal Fury Team
Terry: The MOTW look. He looks more buff than before. They took out a lot of moves which really sucks.
Joe: Fatal Fury Team ain`t the same without Joe. He`s the mouth of the Team.
Griffon: This was a surprise. A Garou character in KOF already? Finally a grappler to match Daimon.

Overall: First thing I wonder... Where the hell is Andy? When I found out though it didn`t matter too much. Griffon is a breath of fresh air.

Art of Fighting Team
Ryo: Ryo is back to lead the AOF team. He looks cooler with the gloves.
Robert: With a new look. The rich boy is stylin now.
Yuri: She`s back with the AOF team again. Not that I mind.... much.

Overall: I was expecting more than this. This team has been done a lot. I would rather Takuma than Yuri. Or Butt from MOTW. And put Yuri in another Team. Thought since they took out Andy they`d take out Robert or Yuri. Ah well.

Outlaw Team
Gato: Pleasant Surprise! I`m likin this new team already. Never knew Gato was an Outlaw but still. He has the look.
Billy: I for one am glad to see him back. I always enjoyed playing with him.
Yamazaki: Well well. There`s still signs of Orochi in the tournament.

Overall: I`m likin this team. This wasn`t expected at all.

Ikari Team
Leona: She`s still here. Thankfully. Wouldn`t want Ikari without her.
Ralf: Firepower galor.
Clark: Yet another Grappler. This year is packed with them.

Overall: They stuck with the old formula. I`m not complaining. Though I thought that they would put some new blood in there.

Women`s Team
King: After missing last year she`s back. Thank God for that.
Mai: What`s KOF without Mai?
Mary: A female Grappler? I like it.

Overall: This is the best Women`s Team since '97 (Chizuru, King, Mai). I`m glad about this team.

Korea Team
Kim: Tae Kwon Doe master himself. KOF needs him.
Chang: He`s still here...?
Jhun: Finally... He`s back. I`ve been waitin for that.

Overall: Why is Chang there and not Choi? Because of SVC Chaos? Still makes no sense. Should have made the Team; Kim, Maylee and Jhun if you ask me. Or maybe put Kim with his Sons from Garou...

Athena Team
Athena: She`s back. Looking good as ever.
Hinako: Skinny Sumo Wrestler chick is back for her 3rd or 4th KOF.

Overall: This is a nice lineup. Glad to see no Bao. Kensou isn`t there and Chin is decreipt by now. Looks like good rivals for the female team. Forgot the last member`s name.

Thats my opinion...

I done choose my teams already

Terry,Ryo and Kim

K,Blue Mary and King

Yamazaki,Gato and Iori

Shingo,Griffon Mask and Robert

Joe,King and Ash (I dont care if he looks like a girl).

Or maybe I should just go with the whole Fatal fury team by default.

All in all 2k3's lineup is looking good                    

[Zero]

Cant wait to get my hands on that game
tanx for the info mack!                    

[rb2k2]

On the issue of Kyo , i think that as long as as shingo , benimaru and goro stick around and the game remains  teams of three  he'll remain as a single entry

Iori needs a change of outfit , i mean its been 8 freaking years , his punk rock  striker costume from KOF2000

Shingo's DM doesnt exactly have the flames it's more like a spark of energy

I'm looking forward to the tag based system , wouldnt mind if its like rage of the dragons                    

[ShinIori]

Its more like a Marvel vs Capcom 2 system.
Without the strikers.                    

[Chrono-X]

I'm looking forward to it a lot. I agree with Iori needing a new look but I have no complaints with his old one. I guess they believe in once it works don't funk with it. Kula Diamond is out sadly which kinda got me down, Foxy's gone HELL THE WHOLE DAMN NEST TEAM Ah well damn story and plot yaddy yaddy ya....gaaah I'll survive. The main character looks on the feminine side indeed but it was the same impression most people had with K' back in KOF99. I never thought K' was a badlooking character, it's just that his clothes are kinda tight lol All in all I am eager to see how this tag team battle system works because I've always wished for this to be introduced into KOF once they didnt do it like any other tagteam fighting game. I wanted it unique but I'll wait and see. As for the gaphics it looks like a significant improvement.                    

[Ickori]

Kim of course as the first man up.
Kyo/iori   ain't too sure right now
And mai
