According to screenshots, it appears that Ash Crimson and Heidern are set to be announced soon in the upcoming King of Fighters title. Like those from Team Orochi, it seems that Ash is making his grand return to the series after the events that unfolded in King of Fighters 14.

Based on their position in the leaked visual, there's a strong possibility that Ash and Heidern will be teaming up with K' in this iteration. On the opposite side, we can see Kyo, Iori and Chizuru, three fighters who are also officially teaming up for the first time in the series.

Then my worry is that Kula may not appear in XV. She was absent in 2003, the first ever tag team game.

I hope Kula and Angel return. I'm also hoping for a Samurai Shodown character and a brand new SNK entry, either of Metal Slug, World Heroes, or The Last Blade.

Nowadays, if that DOES indeed happen, she might be done as a solo DLC character instead, which wasn't possible back in 2003.

The power gauge looks like a keep-out tape that the police use. That leak is problematic but at least the roster is safe for now. SNK might have to go into damage control. This isn't new it happened last time and it was the whole roster.

Haha, no, no way in hell they'll keep her out of the game, not with the way they've been pushing her.

I kind of don't want it to be safe? With every character revealed, I go back and forth between thinking the game will have a large roster, or it'll cut corners because of the enhanced graphics. At this point, I want to know exactly what we're getting so I can stop being frustrated about it.

It's cutting corners if they're downscaling the roster from last game.

Actually, it is. We can see that they're reusing assets from KoF XIV. All returning characters from that game have the same models and animations, with minor adjustments. Reducing the roster is definitely cutting corners when you're copying and pasting stuff from the previous game, unless they add a LOT of new characters (or characters returning from pre-XVI games).

This is just a case of jumping to conclusions. Some new characters have been revealed some brand new, regulars, and some that haven't been in KOF for a while.

Anyway here's the key visual of the box art

Don't forget there is a possibility of extra characters and stages as DLC.

Team Japan isn't a thing. Same with Team Yagami. No Team Mexico, so maybe no Angel. Athena left the Psycho Soldiers, so maybe no Kensou or Chin. And if Heidern, Ash, and K' are a team, then that possibly means no Whip, no Elizabeth (because her and Ash teaming up after XIII&XIV would make the most sense), and no Kula&Maxima.

Maybe I am jumping to conclusions, but it's hard not to when they keep shuffling the roster around and leave us in suspense.

No one said "they're reducing the roster". One guy is saying "I'm afraid the enhanced graphics mean they'll cut corners <=> they'll reduce the roster". It's one person saying they're afraid it'll end up like that, not that it's going to happen.

That, though, is WAY overthinking it. While I personally wouldn't mind Chin getting the boot, it's ridiculous to imagine Heidern, Ash and K' are a team just because they appear next to each other on the box art.

If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

K' being in a different team doesn't mean Kula and Maxima are gone. They can just stick Whip with them instead. And even if that isn't the case, they're still not going to drop Kula since she's one of the more popular KOF characters. They might just make a Nests Girls team with Angel and Sylvie for that.

Got spoiled so I'm gonna throw in my two cents -- I think, since all the DLC is basically coming back to the canon in this game, Whip is probably on K' Team with K' and Maxima. Kula, Angel, and maybe Foxy could form NESTS Team/NESTS Girls Team/NESTS Rebels Team/idfk team.

Heidern being back... Masters Team returns, maybe?

Ash/Elisabeth/Oswald for a team most likely.
