(Though you if you want to get technical, it's actually 66 characters, including EX characters, hidden characters, (which have been banned,) and the final bosses.

It brought back not only all characters from KOF 2002 from the Arcade and console versions (Except for K9999, who was Put on a Bus and replaced by Nameless, a brand new character), but in general, it brought back all characters who appeared during the NESTS chronicles, resulting in the biggest roster in the franchise so far with 52 different characters. The King Of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match, the remake of the classic KOF 2002 (and after the deception that was Neowave) is considered a Crowning Moment Of Awesome per-se in the KOF franchise:.And in 2001, when K' saves Kula in the Hero Team ending.When Ash Crimson saves the day and our timeline, revealing his benevolent true intentions and getting himself Ret Goned, it's pure awesome.which prompts Candy's own CMOA with her Heroic Sacrifice. And in Kula's own ending, she succeeds into dismantling the Zero Cannon. If you don't fight Kula Diamond, you will see Heidern kick ass and take names via disabling Zero.If you do, Diana and Foxy disable him instead.Also, Takuma using a single Haoh Shoko Ken to save King via deflecting the same energy beam from the same Kill Sat.Come to think of it, for someone who's actually The Scrappy, Bao going Badass Adorable via fearlessly jumping and taking the hit to protect his teammates and Kaoru is pretty awesome in itself.In 2000, he saves Bao's life after he takes a massive beam from the NESTS Kill Sat and again releases the Dragon Spirit, recovering his powers. If you use him to beat Krizalid in 99, he awakens the Dragon Spirit to save Athena and himself. If you play as Team Japan and defeat Orochi with Kyo, this happens.The "Sacred Treasures Team" ending in KOF 97 is made of pure, unadultered WIN.It wouldn't be a fighting game like The King of Fighters if it wasn't awesome.
