Number 18, Mr. Karate from Art of Fighting. Or is it Takuma Sakazaki? Or perhaps "The guy with the big beak" as AOF2 puts it? I'm running out of November and there are so many more NeoGeo characters I want to cover! #neogeonov

Number 17, Leona Heidern from King of Fighters 96. Leona was a really cool addition to the Ikari team, I've always liked her original design. KOF96 is an all time favourite of mine too - not the most complete version sure, but it has the bosses team :) #neogeonov

Great find then! I'll now be cursed to spot that cloud every time I play Metal Slug 3...

Damn, that is subtle! How did you ever spot that in the first place?

Number 16, Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown. I had a version where he was covered in blood... but decided to tone it down ;) #neogeonov

Number 15, Kasumi Todoh from Art of Fighting 3. She's learning English just to give you the post-match smack talk! Art of Fighting 3 is a quality game. #neogeonov

That’s a lot of Rez. Not too much, that’s impossible. But still a lot!

Number 14, Toyoshige Takeno from Neo Turf Masters. I mean, it could be any of the characters but I like his stupid hat. But Neo Turf Masters is an amazing game, super easy to pickup with lots to master. #neogeonov

That's fantastic news :) Well deserved too!

Number 13, Rumi Aikawa from Metal Slug X. She's the one who's wandering around aimlessly with the giant bag, always dropping good items! I believe she makes the most appearances in Metal Slug X, so it felt fitting! #neogeonov

I had to look into how Arc uses AI voices finally, and what a waste. It's just pointless lines that don't really add anything? Naming the item you have in your inventory for example... How about reading instead? But I'm sure plenty will jump on board and say it's the best thing ever...

I never thought of adding a "STUPID?" row to my animation trackers... I'll do that from now on!

Oh wow... I remember this! Tekken adverts were scary. This one genuinely creeped me out by how serious they were about the obviously stupid thing happening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGfe...

Number 12, Rock Howard from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Absolutely a favourite of mine: A sprinkling of Terry, a dollop of Geese and a whole lot of emo. What's not to love? ;) #neogeonov
