The roster for KoF XII will look like this:

Terry, Andy, Joe
Athena, Kensou, Chin
Kyo, Benimaru, Daimon
Ash, Duo, Shen
Leona, Ralf, Clark - you can make 5 teams that existed in previous KoFs with these characters...
plus 5 characters that I don't know where to put
Iori, Raiden, Ryo, Robert and Kim. Anyway, it's kinda boring, and way too few women.

If I could choose 20 characters for KoF XII, they would be:
1) Ash, 2) Kyo, 3) Benimaru, 4) Athena, 5) Terry, 6) Kim (They were the first 6 to be confirmed, and I kinda liked that group. They looked cute together. I wouldn't mind playing a game that included only them.)
7) Ralf (and no Clark, because it'd be fun to have Ralf without Clark - or vice versa, but Ralf was confirmed first)
cool Ryo
9) King (because she's my favorite character. I think that there should definitely be a female character that was there since the very beginning - that is not Athena - so some people (most of them probably) would rather see Mai here, and I can understand that, but my choice is King.)
10) K' (because he was the NESTS Chronicles hero. I think that if you were a hero once, you deserve to appear in every following installment of the game.)
11) Kula (no particular reason, other than her fighting style is very nice to look at)
12) Ramon (and no Vanessa, because it'd be fun to have Ramon without Vanessa. He'd probably mention her in his win quote or something, because he wouldn't be able to stop thinking about her... blaugh )
13) Elisabeth (she was on that one poster, and now she's not in. So, she basically got #$@&ed over (yeah, I know she's not real... but still). I think she should be in. And, she's important to the latest storyline. Even though KoF XII won't have any.)
14) Malin (to add more female characters, and because I like her.)
15) Raiden (Duck King was in KoF XI, so why not add another long forgotten Fatal Fury character in XII? That will not appear ever again... twisted I was surprised when they decided to include him, but, all in all, he bothers me less than most of the other (real) KoF XII cast.)
16) A new character (Since '95, every KoF had a new character - other than dream matches, of course. So, there should be a new one here. And a plot, of course.)
17) Duo
1 cool Shen
19) Billy Kane (I really like him. It's too bad he didn't appear in more KoFs.)
20) Iori (because we need to see how he will fight without the flames. When Kensou lost his Dragon Power in '99, he got better. In my opinion at least. So, Iori would definitely be in.)

So there. I wanted to make it so that you can't really form teams that were in KoF before. The only one you can with these 20 is Ash/Duo/Shen.
