The King Of Fighters XV is something we are looking forward to. As such we are guessing who will be in it and in some cases projecting. One suggestion is Maki but I do not seeing this at this point. Also for those who are thinking about Maki you will be getting Chizuru in her place.
To understand why you must first understand Maki and Chizuru are twins. Maki was killed by Goenitz during the Orochi saga. With her death the heavenly king of wind release Orochi from the seal. Maki in her last breath then gave her duties to her sister.
If Maki would come back it would probably mean no more Chizuru since they are twins in both body and abilities. The only way that can change is if Maki comes back weaker and thus is not returning as a playable character but NPC to help teach her sister. The issue is that wouldn’t make sense as then there will be meaning to it. Most of the characters coming back were playable so in order for Maki to come back she would have to playable or made to be so.
Now Maki was in the game but as a boss of sorts. Maki was a mid boss along with her sister. I am saying sort of as she was a boss but was under control of Botan. Botan was using her to help those from the past break the Orochi seal. After she was gone once more thanks to k team beating Mukai and Ash taking the mirror.
But given how it is the same character with only a few moves difference. It is better to just give those moves to Chizuru and run from there. For those who want to see Maki just have her appear in the outro or intro when she faces member of the Orochi. But those are my thoughts. Let me know yours.
