Well, I know ONE fellow Gamerblag member will be raging about this bit of news, but as it is, I’m currently raging too.

The full roster of the upcoming King of Fighters XII has already been announced, and as you can see from the picture above, one specific character is missing. One who’s always been a staple of the series, and definitely recognizable no matter where she gets to. Athena? Generic schoolgirl. Kim Kaphwan? Generic korean badass (although one of my favorite characters). But where the fuck is my fan-throwing, fanservice-drooling, cleavage-bouncing titty-monster MAI? OR YURI? OR WHIP FOR THAT MATTER?

They better be unlockables, Playmore. They’d better be.

For those of us unable to view images for some reason, here’s the roster in convenient list form:

• Ash
• Duo Lon
• Shen
• Kyo
• Benimaru
• Daimon
• Iori
• Athena
• Kensou
• Chin
• Terry
• Andy
• Joe
• Kim
• Raiden
• Ryo
• Robert
• Ralf
• Clark
• Leona

Not even Vanessa? NOT EVEN VANESSA?
