KOF: K9999 (and Tetsuo) x Nameless x Krohnen - Quick Comparison

Ultimate quick comparison featuring the most controversial character in KOF: K9999 / Krohnen.
The urban legend says that K9999 from KOF 2002 is a carbon copy of Tetsuo, from the anime movie Akira.
When KOF 2002 Ultimate Match (a revised version) was launched, they switched K9999 for the generic character Nameless.
Nobody from SNK confirms, but people believe the switch was to avoid legal issues from the anime owner.
To the surprise of all, in KOF XV K9999 returns with a new style and name, being called Krohnen.

Changes (from K9999 to Krohnen)
- EX variants for each move
- Level 2 variants for his usual DMs
- Old Level 2 DM became a climax move
- Legacy inputs are stored (you can do pretzels for DM and d,f,df+all buttons for climax)
- dp+P properties are changed, latest EX version is the closest to old HP version
- HP version is now a knockback (this isn't the case for K9999)
- Removed old climax (air b,fx4)
- New d+HK move, old d+HK became a command normal like Nameless'
Changes (Nameless vs Krohnen)
- Removed f+B in favor of K'
- Removed old climax
- See notes about relating to Nameless

"Can I copy your homework?"
"Sure, just change up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied. "
"Ok. "

Still. Nameless is somewhat cooler than K9999. At least to me :))

[@wilsonng994]

​@@duyphan4617Same here. While Nameless was just a one-off non-canon replacement for K9999 but cooler nonetheless, I like that SNK gave him a backstory and lore despite Nameless's aforementioned non-canon status and the fact that Kronhen is now confirmed to be K9999 which might make some fans happy. But it seems likely that Nameless might not come back in some canonical status but I'm gonna keep my hopes up.

Akira is so cool.

[@jeckarcade7312]

Yes. Even for today's standards.

Let's hope that with his new identity, he doesn't fade into the annals of gaming history again.
