Eolith

Eolith was a Korean based fighting game company that is best known for having the intellectual property for The King of Fighters series after SNK's bankruptcy. The games they produced were The King of Fighters 2001 and The King of Fighters 2002. Their main goal while creating these games was to create a "real fighting environment" which tapped into the full potential of the games' roster. Another goal from the staff was to encourage perfectionism while challenging both newcomers and veterans of the series.

Although their studio closed its doors sometime after these games were made, several fans debate the possible copyright issues over the original characters made for these titles (namely with Angel, May Lee, and K9999). Currently, no official statements have been made by SNK-Playmore though Nameless' creation has sparked some renewed interest on the matter.
