SNK’s effort to tease his character reveals for The King of Fighters 15 with silhouettes, led to the creation of a bunch of great meme artwork and even the developers in other studios are having fun.
The director of Street Fighter 5, Takayuki Nakayama, flexed his own art skills every week to make a humorous game for those who follow. However, his last song might still be the best.
Due to the fact that most of the probable assumptions reached a fighter’s hand, this time Nakayama took things in a very different direction, choosing to attract one of the iconic bosses of Fatal Fury.
Wolfgang Krauser von Stroheim makes a surprise appearance here with some feline comrades who steal the show, considering that they are dressed like other villains in the series.
The one in Krauser’s arms seems to be clearly Mr. Big, whom he drew last week with his sunglasses and fluffy coat, which I can’t say how much I like.
As for the one that jumps off his shoulder, that cat is actually dressed in Howard Geese, more precisely from Fatal Fury 3 with the yellow model on his pants.

Nakayama says in the tweet that he couldn’t help but see that part coming out of the portrait as a cat, about which the director seems to be a big fan, considering that he seems to have made art for Neco Drop, with a cat theme. April Day Games for SF5.
Krauser, Geese and Mr. Big have officially joined forces as the Bosses team in KOF96, so this is a nice little sign not only for Fatal Fury, but also for the larger series.
It’s been quite a while since Krauser made an official, playable appearance in an SNK fighting game, given that his last time on the list came to an end in KOF98: Ultimate Match.
The imposing Krauser can’t stop joining the KOF15 tournament, although he feels quite doubtful, given that he has been an entity for so long.
For legitimate assumptions, our first choice brought us to a previous bastard who couldn’t play from Ash Crimson’s bow because of what I thought was a scarf, but after seeing a few comments that pointed it out, that part of the silhouette could be, hand.
We will know for sure in one way or another later tonight, with the official revelation from SNK, but so far Nakayama has a success rate of 0%. He probably intends to keep it that way.
