Next: Tekken 6 without the Kazamas, SoulCalibur V without Mitsurugi and Taki, GOWIII with an actual potato instead of Kratos...
Then release the characters as DLC after a few weeks, and bam! you've found the perfect way to charge an extra 10% for the "real", complete game. So much more effective than Vader/Yoda DLC.
Doesn't matter to me, I just hope the core gameplay is good. I heard some impressions from the E3 show floor that the game needs improvement. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)
@arniejolt: Complaining about Mai and 'K not being in the game is just as stupid as people complaining about SFIII characters not being in SFIV. While Capcom has officially released their stance on that already, SNK has not, and you will just have to wait until they release their stance on that.
@moidsch: Obtuse SF3 characters? Yeah, I guess Alex, Elena, Dudley, Yun and gang are just so much worse than those classics like Zangief, Dhalsim, Balrog, Fei Long and the rest of those incredibly generic characters from SF2.
@moidsch: Still, unless she was always part of the team you played with, I don't see why this is a no buy reason.
I play with Iori, Kyo, and Terry. I also use Mai and King. Therefore even though I will miss Mai until the DLC (I am sure there is going to be some) arrives, I still plan on having FUN with the game.
@EMPEROR_COW: You post with dignity. SFIV is a nice game and all, but I really hate the SFII cast and only bust it out to beat friends on-line. Otherwise, I'm still playing the Xbox Street Fighter Anniversary disc for Third Strike.
@arniejolt: First of all, she's was originally a console-exclusive character. Second, Geese is better. Third, a KOF game without Mai is still a KOF game. Playing a fighting game for a character and not gameplay is like something an Arksys fan would do.
I see a couple my-fighting-game-is-better-than-your-fighting-game zealots ragging on the obsessed-about-character-x crazy and wonder for a moment if they ever comprehend the depth of their dumbfuckery. Only a moment.
That's a very nice figure. Unfortunately, $84 is too much for a video game - its definitely way too much for a figure.
Don't get me wrong, I have a decent amount of figures myself, but I usually buy them on the cheap. I've never understood how figure makers can charge so damn much ... aside from the fact that people apparently buy them in droves.
Of course, being out of a job and surviving off of whats left of my tax return in the past couple of months has made me look at luxury purchases differently that a year ago...
If mammary serves, it isn't too rare for a rather large pair to just spring up. I DDo think that the puns end up a little overinflated thoug and we might as well just say "TITTIES!" until everyone has had their fun. . . bags.
I imagine it's just precautionary, but I'm not really seeing what's so NSFW about a plastic statue revealing about as much as the average bikini in that link. Granted my screen here at work is set up in a way where it's not easy for anyone to catch a glimpse, though I suppose if they did I'd have to explain things...
Oh, well anyhow, on topic... Does anyone have a list of the complete Mai figure releases? It'd be interesting to see how many there are, especially when compared to other characters in the series. She seems to be a popular subject, moreso than I think any other in the KOF game.

You remind me of all the people who refused to play Darkstalkers when it first came out because Ryu and Ken weren't in it.
