Diana one of the most interesting characters designed ? Eh, that's... really subjective. she doesn't have anything that appeals to be in any way - and anyway, it doesn't seem she's geared toward fighting, not everyone has to be a fighting beast
Again, latest KOFs are full of one shot-characters, this isn't new.Remember Lin's Hizoku buddies? Yeah, the ones that appear in his winpose. Then we have Gai, Jyazu, Hayate, Silber, the Sports team, etc.
Graham Aker said, April 09, 2009, 01:43:40 amGai, Jyazu, Hayate, Silberwell they're cameos from other games so they don't have the backstory problem that was mentionned. But the Hizoku, the Bernstein kids and "those from the past", yeah.
Um... The Sports Team wasn't a one shot. They appeared in '94 and '98. They're one shot in terms of story, but they actually have the privilege of "returning" to a KOF game, even though it's not cannon.This is the way I see it:Ralf -> ClarkMature -> ViceFoxy -> DianaEven though she wasn't the hottest, she would've probably made for an interesting character. Foxy was interesting. Not great, but that's just an opinion. But if you wanna talk about characters SNK missed the boat on during KOF's MVS days... Let's talk Raiden! lol.
That video was interesting.swipergod said, April 09, 2009, 05:28:49 amUm... The Sports Team wasn't a one shot.I know that.Read the subject of my previous message, the point is, one/two shot characters (three would be stretching it quite a bit, maybe) still count as extremely "underused in KOF" and well...that concept isn't new.

Diana's fighting style can be seen in the King of Fighters 2 pachinko game, as an enemy.edit : i don't check youtube links often, sue me|| V
Well yeah, that's what Water Dimension linked to. She has some butterfly-like powers similar to Luise.
When "we" release Diana next week you all will know the difference in their attacks.P.S.- Theres nothing ugly about Diana or Foxy, Their Brazillion .....I think?

i have not the ability to make sprites or code, that's not fair! If i had the ability, there would be a nice to play Diana.

If i had the ability, there would be a nice to play Diana.Dianna would probably be a very difficult character to sprite since the only reference you have in full character form would be Foxy. (Who's sprites really look very little like Diana despite them using the same fighting style) It always struck me as strange Dianna never got made playable considering what an important character she was in the N.E.S.T.S saga. Even more strange considering an unimportant character (Foxy) was made playable instead.

Foxy wasn't really unimportant though I will agree that she was there more than Foxy was as far as gameplay , but me and Skybaby74 are working on her.....well anyway she will be avilable....TOMORROW !!!
KOF2, some slot machine that features Diana.Diana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNqkpgJbohQ&feature=relatedZero: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKgoocvIoE&feature=relatedIgniz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPo-SyE_xUo&feature=relatedAnimated animation of Maxima, Whip and K' running. It looks like it could be a template for KOF12.
