Let's see what we got:

"...is a video game character in The King of Fighters fighting game series.." – I am not sure whether it should say this or "..is a video game character in the The King of Fighters fighting game series...", but I figured I'd note that it reads a bit odd.
- Wouldn't it feel a bit repetitive writing "the The"
  - I'm not really sure what the consensus on this is. It's not that big a deal, but it can be something to avoid if possible.
~~"...tournaments with pyrokinesis one of his abilities." – seems to lack some punctuation.~~
- Turned it into its own sentence.
~~"...to balance the roster." – "to balance the character roster" would be more clear.~~
- Done.
"...and his technique." – "technique"? As in, fighting style? Moves? Control?
~~"After the tournament he ambushes..." – Punctuation.~~
- Done
"Ash also appears..." is a structure that appears four times in this article. The word "also" could be removed from at least two of them, but changing the structure of the article to make it more organic might be a good idea.
- Changed some.
"The supervising designer created..." – who is this?
- It has been anonymous for some reason.
~~"Because of Ash's recent introduction..." – when was this?~~
- Changed it,
  - Now the sentence still doesn't make any sense. "Because of Ash's introduction in The King of Fighters 2003 the staff did not want to disclose more information about him" How is his introduction in a 12-year old game a reason for staff not to disclose information about him? I assume you mean to say something along the lines of "Before Ash's introduction...", though the part "more information" implies that there was a certain amount of information about him available prior... I just don't really understand what this part is getting at.
- Tried another
  - It's much more clear now~
~~"His height is that of 178cm (5'10") and weighs 59kg (130 lbs)" – proposed change to "His canonical height is 178cm (5'10") and he weighs 59kg (130 lbs)"~~
- Done.
~~"Because of Ash's eventual appearance..." – sounds more like "Ash's late appearance in The King of Fighters 2003". I don't think "eventual appearance" means the same thing?~~
- Done.

Overall:

What exactly are "powers"? Are we talking about supernatural powers? Spiritual powers? Are the characters left "powerless"? Though there's no need to dive into the series' lore, it currently feels very abstract and vague what Ash exactly does to these characters.
- They never specified but based on KOF13, I believe his powers inherited from his descendants.
- The characters are left powerless (Chizuru Kagura loses her strange reflection of images, Iori Yagami loses his blue flames) but Iori Yagami still fights in the latest match using a new fighting style.
Fair use rationale of the character's artwork seems in order.
Once a large portion of these issues are resolved (though not all of them need to be) - the "ash also appears" problem and the questions asked in the development section in particular - I will support this GAN :)
Is this the place where I'm supposed to advertise my own FL candidate? /not sure how this works. ~Mable (chat) 10:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm a bit busy today but I promise I'll later collaborate on that.

I just put the nomination on hold as per WP:GAN - I'm still new to this process ^_^" ~Mable (chat) 11:37, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll try my best.Tintor2 (talk) 14:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I striked through the ones that are fixed. Added some comments. Still needs some more work, but you're on the right way :) ~Mable (chat) 15:38, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, change "Ash also appears in other King of Fighters media." into "Ash has made appearances in various other King of Fighters media as well." and this is a GA in my book. ~Mable (chat) 16:03, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Tintor, you got a GA on your hands! If anyone would ever want to get this article Featured, I'd definitely recommend trying to find out who the lead designer was, though I suppose we just don't know right now. Furthermore, I think the line on "disclose information about him" is still somewhat odd, but it doesn't stand in the way. Sourcing is excellent, prose is generally of good quality, the article makes sense, very good job ^_^ ~Mable (chat) 16:10, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. Will check your FLC during night. I have to leave now.Tintor2 (talk) 16:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
