There seems to be no reason for especulative list of characters. Let´s please wait untill official word is given regarding the cast.

[edit] Supposed Screenshots
I've deleted the character screenshots because they are obviously fake: Unreliable source. They all use the old sprites despite SNK claiming they will completely revamp them. The nature of the shots seems like they were deliberately taken so they are hard to make out. From what you can see of the HUD it seems to be exactly the same as the one used in KOFXI. Likely made using MUGEN. I don't completely rule out the possibility of these being real (beta shots?) but I would need a more realible source. All in all, these just look like hoaxes and don't belong on the main page. Mysterious Bob 13:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
You don't, but I do. It's completely obvious that they are fake pictures. In fact, they constitute almost an insult since SNKP has said clearly that they are going to change all the sprites and everything that has to do with the graphics and dump all the old and they intend to make it look like the "ultimate 2d fighting game". I assure that these are just pictures from a miserable mugen of KOF XI PabloG 18:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Characters
This is now completely out of hand. Nobody has any idea what the characters might be and whenever I visit this article there is a new list of "confirmed" characters. NO CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED. Even Ash and Elizabeth aren't fully confirmed. This "rumoured characters" takes it to the next level. This page needs protecting. --Mysterious Bob 19:31, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. An image found on the internet of a magazine/flyer/whatever is not confirmation. I will revert, but I cannot protect. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 11:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cellshade
"SNK Overseas Manager Yoshihito Koyama revealed the game is going to be 3D, but cel-shaded to look 2D." Now that's not really confirmed, and were only reported at kotaku, and few sites named their source as kotaku. It also goes against the previous statements, like it will be ps2 not ps3, etc. Many beleives it's not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.199.152.244 (talk) 11:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, until someone over at SNK discredits Yoshihito Koyama it's still pretty plausible that this report is true. SNK never said anything regarding console plans before, so reports of it being ported to ps3 and 360 don’t contradict anything said before. Also, quoting an interview with SNK artist: Nona http://www.gamespot.com/news/6158355.html "We're throwing out the [character] pixels that we have been using for the past 10 years, and we are going with new graphics," Nona said. "We are hoping to make the ultimate 2D game." This could’ve been the graphical overhaul he was referring to, as the game can still play like a “2D” game but use 3D graphics. 66.177.86.18 14:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- I have edited the article to better reflect that cel-shading could just be speculation. It would be better if we can get a concrete source explicitly saying "yes" or "no", though. -MissingNOOO 10:12, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Looking on the KOF XII Japanese website, they are still hiring part-timers under the age of 30 to do: "ゲームソフト開発におけるグラフィックデザイン" and "キャラクター・背景等の作画等、主にドット絵の作業". Or in English: "Graphic design relating to game software development" and "Character backgrounds/art, etc., mostly dot picture work". This would seem to confirm that the characters will indeed still use pixel art, just not at same low-res work as the Neo Geo games (which is looking awfully low-res next to SFIII and fricken' Guilty Gear; also, there are fewer people qualified today that can produce the same quality work with a Neo Geo resolution and limited palette, I'm afraid, so I wouldn't blame them for re-vamping the sprites). —Preceding unsigned comment added by MissingNOOO (talk • contribs) 10:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
It's not true, and Kotaku should never be referenced as a credible news source on Wikiperdia. XII is 2D, not cellshaded, and used traditional pixels/sprites.
Judging by the trailer at the AOU 2008 this game is completely 2D. No cell-shading. No 3D backgrounds. The game hasn't been announced for the PS3 or Xbox360 either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.76.55.147 (talk) 20:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
KOFXII producer Masaaki Kukino tells Kotaku that the game is one hundred percent hand drawn. There is zero cell shading in The King of Fighters XII. http://kotaku.com/362913/holy-crap-king-of-fighters-xii-is-100-percent-hand-drawn —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.188.98.162 (talk) 17:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Kusangi
Isn't he in the game? In the gameplay footage, there was a Kyo throwing a fireball similar to his 94' version. Kumori Shuuryou (talk) 02:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
