No Flame Iori in Japan??....

No Flame Iori in Japan??....

Well, they got it as a pre-order bonus for the Japanese version of the game.

Usually, pre-order bonus DLC hit PSN/XBL within two-three months of the game's original release.

Don´t know if this is the right topic, cos this is not exactly a gameplay matter but here I go:
I thought there were no special intros nor special winposes on kof XIII but I swear that, while playing vs the cpu using Kensou, I have seen him doing a diferent winpose after wining Athena: He looks down and holds his head in beetween his hands. Is this a normal winpose or a special one? Any other examples have been seen?

There are a few of extra poses (or win quotes).

Kyo and Iori say something different after beating each other. And yeah, there's a couple more special win poses out there, but I can't remember clearly.
