It's not really lazyness, cause the guys that decide between using the old graphics and drawing new ones are not the guys who need to draw new graphics. So don't say lazy, say cheap. SNK have to choose between making new characters and redrawing the old ones. Now, the problem is that if they want to redraw the old characters, well, if they are making another KoF for example there are far too many of them!!! And if they want to make new characters, they have to draw them at the same quality as the old ones, otherwise it will look strange to see a low rez kyo fighting a high rez brandnewkyoclone. It's a circle you can't escape!
