Extensive MOTM 2 prototype footage!

I love the Hsien-Ko and Gen-An sprites.

The maker of these videos seems to have demonstrated every new animation and illustration over the course of these videos. Of the many delightful things to find, it was fun watching Hotaru perform a number of Gato's moves! (n/t) (bluefour) (10:45:27 12/20/22 EST)
Hsien-Ko, K', Alex (SFIII), Rock Howard, Mega Man, Genan, Bishamon, Hotaru, and what may have been a new character (Paleface) (11:22:33 12/20/22 EST)
The new Ryo here seems to be partially based on MOTW Khushnood Butt! (n/t) (bluefour) (16:58:45 12/20/22 EST)
So apparently at the bottom of the videos it says they are fake. If so, they did a hell of a job making them! (n/t) (TMHC) (18:32:15 12/20/22 EST)
That's some wild stuff. I could see this being fake, simply due to K's sprite using so many colors. But the quality of the sprites overall seems rather high, so it could just as well be the real thing. Who's to say SNK wouldn't figure out a solution for the color limitations of the NGPC. If this thing would've actually released it'd have been wild. I noticed Ryu doing a launcher attack and in one vid they demonstrated a special super attack where characters tagged out. There's a bunch of experimental stuff that likely would never make the final cut such as Zangief's fireball attack, but merging Hotaru and Gato's movesets seems like something SNK actually would've done. This seems to be captured on one of those shitty emulators that cuts part of the lower screen, making super bars invicible. Strangely enough what stands out the most to me is Gouki's sick P2 color. Giving him even more moves than in MotM seems like a bold choice, but that's part of the charm of the first game anyway. I guess one way to assess the ligitamcy of this prototype is to check if Terry in the vids matches with the MotM2 Terry sprite posted by Falcoon on Twitter some years ago.
