KOF XX is a fighting game I am making for the UFGE engine featuring SNK characters and characters from other video games in SNK style. This is a preview for the next release, 1.5. The current release is 1.0 and can be found at http://maximoff.alreadyread.net/kowtf .
First things first. The sprites for this character come from SwiperGod's KOFE project for Mugen. I have made sure I have recieved permission from him before I started any work on Raiden.
I really wanted to make Raiden for this project, since he is pretty much a fighting game version of Big Van Vader. Since there were 5 different versions of him with slightly diffferent movesets (Fatal Fury, Big Bear from Fatal Fury 2, Capcom vs SNK, KOFE, KOF XII), I pretty much mixed and matched what moves to give him. I wanted to make him more grounded and have a focus on his power strikes as well as his throws.
On a side note, if I didn't get permission, then my backup plan would be to take the World Heroes sprites of Muscle Power and see if I could make a KOF style sprite set (or decent mockup) and if that plan fell through I would have probably went with a character Tizoc or even Clark.
Nice touch adding Vaders theme. Raiden/Big Bear is my second favorite SNK character. (behind the, IMO, criminally ignored Yamazaki.)

@hyperfuse Seeing your name, I'm wondering what you think about the Red Dragon video :).
