Talk:The King of Fighters XIII

Let's talk about the name for Elisabeth's Team
Ok, people nowadays are thinking that Elisabeth's team is named the "Elisabeth Team," seeing that it is obvious that she is more likely the new protagonist of KOF XIII, her team will more likely be dubbed the "Hero Team," So please, do not change her team's name to the "Elisabeth Team," since her team does not need to be named after her, just letting you guys know.

 * The reason why the team name is "Elisabeth Team" is because that's the name that SNK gave the team at the preview. This is not something that is based on any kind of assumptions like the ones you are making. It was clearly labeled on every news site that reported on it. You can go ahead and see it for yourself. Kyosei 00:54, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand your plight, Kyosei, I will stop making the assumption of the whole "Elisabeth's team is the Hero Team thing" and leave it where it is, looks like this debate is over, I will stop making my stupid assumptions about KOF XIII, as well as making an ass out of myself.
 * Anyway, thanks, Kyosei and again everyone, I am sorry for my stupid-ass assumptions about "Elisabeth's team is the Hero Team" and about Ash being the "Main Antagonist" I will not update the KOF XIII page again until new details have been revealed. --DarkGhostMikel 01:10, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's alright so long as you understand. It's good that you and others are excited about the new game and enthusiastic about updating the wiki as quickly as possible with new information. I only ask that we try to keep the speculations down and reserve them to talk pages at best. This wiki first and foremost aims to be as accurate as possible as there are people who use it as a source for information. Kyosei 01:22, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

A notice regarding the unconfirmed characters in the KOF XIII intro
Ok, I have seen that many people over at Cyberfanatix's KOF XIII thread have found five of the six unconfirmed characters in the KOF XIII intro, and they should not be added to the Characters section of the KOF XIII article until they are actually confirmed to be in the game by SNK.

I am currently trying to help with the KOF XIII article to help avoid the addition of unconfirmed characters, stages, features, etc. I just wanted to add this as a little notice about not adding unconfirmed content until SNK officially confirms that said content as a reminder not to add content that is not confirmed yet. --DarkGhostMikel 14:49, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Some of the descriptions for these images seem pretty convincing, but yeah, it's best to wait for the official word. I can't wait to see how that goes, because I'm looking forward to possibly having K'. :) (AquiferT 22:52, April 11, 2010 (UTC))
 * Well, this notice will be removed after the other two members of the K' Team and the bosses have been revealed, I am just letting you guys know as of right now.
 * Since Kula was recently confirmed, this notice has expired. I will remove this in a couple of hours. --DarkGhostMikel 21:49, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Not really concerning the intro but I'm lazy and don't want to make a new section for unannounced characters. This is a shoutout to where in the Women Team's story King says that B. Jenet plans on entering. She relates that the pirate said as such in an interview (「新時代の格闘女王は誰だ、みたいな感じで組んである特集だよ. インタビューを読むかぎり、ジェニーもＫＯＦに出場する気みたいだね」). She then continues that this interview was made to announce more entries that weren't revealed at first, but there is no word yet on who they are (「いや、そのつもりらしい発言をしてるね. このインタビューの時点では、まだエントリーを締め切ってなかったようだから、はっきりと誰と組むとは明言してないけど」). These quotes are pretty much taken from the end of the first page and near the beginning of the second page. Yuri and Mai wonder if they could be more lady fighters but then again, that's just something on their part. So in other words, there might be at least three more selectable characters in this game. Sake neko 00:48, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are they hinting at console exclusives, or will this possible 11th team be in the arcades? I ask this because B. Jenet is already a background cameo in the London stage. Sure, it's easy to just take her out, but still... Oh, wasn't Malin mentioned in their story as well? Is she maybe a possible candidate for this new team? Come to think of it, there IS a space next to K' Team on the site's character page. It can be the bosses, OR a new team. We'll just have to wait and see! AquiferT 03:33, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sake, I am assuming that the whole "Women's team story hints at eleventh team" thing is meant for the console release of the game, because B. Jenet makes a cameo in the game, I am sure that she will be in the console release rather than in the arcade release. --DarkGhostMikel 15:44, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Question regarding Vice, Mature and the Hakkesshu
I have one question: If Vice and Mature are "dead" people taking the form of shadows (I personally think that that theory sucks), why only they have resurrected? I mean, there are other members of the Hakkeshu that are dead like Goenitz, Yashiro, Shermie and Chris, why they haven't resurrected?
 * As stupid as it may sound to you (and me), that's what their actual story says. Iori says himself that he killed them (それとも、もう一度殺してくれとでもほざくつもりか？) and, that they still act and talk the same even though they are dead (口が達者なのは死んでも変わらんようだな). Vice admits that though they are only shadows, they can make do for Iori's necessary teammates (形だけとはいえ、チームメイトが必要なのさ). They also instantly appear out of no where and disappear as if they were ghosts. I guess that makes them more creepier than before, since they can technically go anywhere they want in their new forms. I kinda accept Mature and Vice being "alive" in a sense since they played around with the idea before back in his '97 story.


 * The other Hakkesshu aren't mentioned aside from a recap of their activities spoken by Chizuru so they may still be dead. Or they may do another beyond the grave quasi-resurrection. We will just have to wait and see. Sake neko 15:32, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Their team story also describes them forming themselves out of the shadows as well. As silly as it seems.
 * 庵の視線を受けて、影が身悶えしていた. 静かに、しかし確実に、影は次第にはっきりとした形を取り始めている.
 * そして、ついに２次元の世界から３次元の世界へと立ち上がった時、影は美しい女たちの姿を手に入れていた.
 * So yeah, they are literally shadows taking form as Vice and Mature. Kyosei 22:32, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Shermie appears in the France stage..... WHY!? Wasn't she dead already? SNK CONFUSES ME! >:(
 * Background cameos don't mean much to me when they include characters like Roddy, Marco Rossi, and other characters who don't even really fit in the KOF setting. Like I said, just wait and see if SNK says anything about the other Hakkesshu. Sake neko 02:57, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Whip or Kula????? for K,s Team????????
i love them both but whip please

F*** up maxima both Kula and Whip with K' would have given a new appearance but the fat ass Maxima keeps coming back........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah f*** Maxima thats wat i was thinking too both kula and whip with K'
 * Are you guys idiots? do not start stupid conversations in the talk page like this one, this is one of the most idiotic conversations I have ever seen in a talk page. Please don't do this again. --DarkGhostMikel 15:56, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

XD In the history of the team Kyo, mention something that is related to heidern,maybe some,if the history will have to do with heidern,whip will be the third team member k,but if it is not,I guess I will kula,or maybe some new character. but,most likely,appear Each series of original equipment, I means teams Kyo,iori and ash,with elizabeth,are the characters of each series,that may give you more likely to kula,of being in thee k team

Looks like Kula won....

Voice actors
In earlier versions of the page, there was information on voice actor changes. They have been reverted, but I believe they're worth mentioning. 89.3.236.183 07:15, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Voice actors can be mentioned on the actual character pages if they are worth mentioning. Sake neko 14:57, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Cosplay Color chart?
May I suggest adding a chart to the bottom of the article once more cosplay colors are found and noted? Take the KoF: Maximum Impact 2 page for example. There is a chart listing all Another outfits, and I beleive the KoFXIII page would look much better with a cosplay color chart than a paragraph continually saying "A has a B color scheme, B has a C color scheme, etc."

- AquiferT 16:34, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, that sounds like fun. Hrm... but let's wait for the finished and final version of the game to be out before going that far. I don't want to try listing all of these "cosplay" mentions only to have the staff suddenly pull a last minute change on us. Also, if they're enough so that the entire cast (or at least 2/3 of the characters) has something like it, then we can probably go for it. Sake neko 19:46, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why would they pull a change like that? It's not exactly using different companies' characters. They're just... color schemes. Unless companies are becoming obsessive about COLORS that resemble their characters, it shouldn't matter otherwise. AquiferT 03:58, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Bring Bao back to the series too!
I really miss Bao, I wish he comes back soon. 1:33 ThunderBeam707 June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Bao's bad, that's a terrible opinion. She-he's the worst KOF character since Yashiro and Chris. Shermie's not all that fantastic either, but she's definitely better than Bao.


 * They're gonna have to bring Bao back anyway soon in the future, because the Former leader of the Hizoku and Igniz's lover are stalking both Bao and Kensou because they both share the same power: The Dragon Spirit, it's true and i admit since 2001 Bao has gotten a bit weaker (sorry Bao), but if there's a chance they can re-design him and make him look a little mature and bring him back with the control of the Dragon Spirit ,cause Bao will return sooner or later in the series and FYI: Bao's a boy, not a girl, but a boy . 8:34 ThunderBeam707 June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Really, don't complain about Hwa Jai...
...because the headswaps could be worse. ;) Really though, this is what boredom does to me, haha. Some of these could make really ... interesting Another outfits. AquiferT 19:35, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Arcade version release date confirmed!
SNK's official KOF XIII site confirms that the game will be released on July 14, 2010 on arcades! I just wish that SNK announced the console release already... --DarkGhostMikel 17:38, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Intro Change
Yes, apparently they changed it. No video yet, but so far, this is a huge improvement. Anyone have any thoughts on this? AquiferT 01:01, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks way better than the old one, it shows us a minimal reveal of Saiki (AKA Psyche), and it just looks better. --DarkGhostMikel 01:23, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
