The Full 20 Character Roster Revealed. But no Mai? :(
----- Edit 1: Thanks for the feature GT. :)
Edit 2: The game is currently scheduled for official Arcade Release in Japan on April 2009. It does look like it will be released in America, though that could change depending on the economic climate.
I am expecting (but am not entirely certain) a final trailer to come out sometime this week. I will post it as soon as I get the chance.
Edit 3: As to Mai's absence (and other viewer's favorite characters). Here's hoping that if there is a console version (which I think is likely), there will be some new characters added at that time.

As stated on my first upload, if what I upload goes against GT's ideals, I apologize in advance. For now, I look forward to posting more stuff in the future.
Mai was likely dropped or withheld because of story considerations (she finally married Andy).
I would entertain the idea that she couldn't be balanced properly to fit in the game without a major overhaul. She had been getting super cheap over the years.
If you were SNK/Playmore, then you wouldn't want your series reboot to be marred with the same bad character balance.
Though that doesn't explain Athena who was equally as broken.
I'll just go with story issues.

Playmore has LOW credibility in my view, they f*cked up so much games already (Metal Slug 4 and 5, king of fighters 2002 and up, kof impact, Rage of the dragons, Melee whatever and so on, f*ck), even when SNK came back they still make shitty games cuz Playmore is around. F*ck I really hope this turns out to be impressive and not dissapointing. PLEASE DONT EMBARASS YOURSELVES SNKPLAYMORE.
Whoa! You need a time out!
