For sure, I'm up for all types of kof discussion. I'm pondering if I should actually buy the ps2 kof 2k/2k1 deal. I already own the dreamcast counterparts and the rom sets...but the fanboy in me will probably give in. As for the backgrounds, I think 2d over 3d can work, but it needs to be done well. I personally like the backgrounds for CVS2, but only dreamcast since it doesnt suffer the horrible pixalation of the other console ports.

Its going to be 3vs3, I dont remember where I read it but I'm pretty sure of it.

Yes it is, unlike the very poor snes version. Its harder to actually find the iso and mp3 (and I keep kicking myself that I deleted it.)

HoD, AoS and SoTN are excellent titles as is Super castlevania IV and the very rare (and very awesome) Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. I used to have the iso and emulator for that game a while back but it was deleted. Bad castlevania games however, can be really really bad. Games such as Simons quest, Castlevania the arcade game, the gameboy Castlevanias and circle of the moon really stink.

Keep trying I guess, it works for me. Its a standing standing btw Try another cross up combo using j.HP j.HP, cr.LK, s.LP, cr.LP, Oniyaki (f,d,df+P)

Watch the art of fighting anime, then I think you'll agree that it is the worst thing ever made involving animation period.

Andrew try this for using jumping HP Jumping HP, HP, Saishuukessen Ougi (qcf,qcf+P) As keeping Kyo on the capcom groove I meant that he isnt very good on the snk groove beacause if you try to unleash a barrage of supers when on low life for tick damage, there is such a bad lag between your supers your opponent will kicks your ass between them. And I've never actually tried that combo on CVS1, I would try it but I dont have my GD with me. Works fine on CVS2 though.

Isn't the girl in your avatar Susanne Shaw from HearSay? not like i would recognise from the picture or anything. I know who Susanne shaw is...but how on earth can you tell from that?

Again another random fighting game post by me. Capcom vs SNK 2: Current favorite combos Terry: lk, cr.lk, buster wolf level 2, power gyser level 1 (C groove) Iori: cr.lk x 3, maiden masher level 3. Kyo: Shiki 75: Kai, Orochi Nagi (mp), Shiki 75: Kai, another orochi nagi Edit: Actually that reads quite badly qcf+lk, qcb-hcf+mp, cancel to qcf+mk, qcb-hcf+P

But it would be awesome to have a FF a AOF and a Kyo anime series which all interlink with each other in the form of Kof OVAs As long as it isn't made by any of the people who brought us the Samurai Shodown and Fatal Fury OVAs. Well, the Fatal Fury one I didn't like was the one with the armor of Mars and the annoying jailbait chick that was trying to hook up with Terry. That was "eh" at best. I already mentioned that the original FF ova's/movie arent that good (still better than the art of fighting one...I mean Jesus I've seen better pokemon episodes), but if done properly it could be awesome.

...so is she hot? That's a no brainer. Nordic chicks are allllll hot. Well the vikings didnt take any ugly ones back home with them did they?

An Iori/Terry team can seriously kill if used properly. Terry's dash+roll and Terry's rising tackle alone can wipe out your bar. Always watch out for EX Terry's roll into rising tackle combo since no charge is required. Anyway some notes on the "Capcom raped all of the flame chuckers goodness" Kyo, you might already know some of this but what the hey here it is again. - Kyo has perhaps the best poke in CVS, standing LK, it can interrupt anything from rolls to jumps. - HK can be used to avoid "almost" all sweeps - Crouching HP is an anti air - Near standing HP is fast and can be followed up by combos - The double kick HK sweep, or HachiJuuHachi Shiki will actually get you past under some of your opponents projectiles such as a hadouken, although no luck like that with a power wave... - This may be just CVS2 playing talking here since I havent played the first in a while but never abuse the hachiJuuHachi or you will surely be your opponents bitch. -Always have Kyo on the capcom groove due to the lag of between supers. -Jumping HP is a good crossup.

I have, I even have GG and GGX. I just prefer the Capcom and SNK fighters. I dunno why I always found the GG engine kind of slow. I know the game isnt slow but when I play a round of GG then play alpha 3 or kof 98 there seems to be a significant speed difference... ...kind of hard to explain but I cant get into a GG match as quickly.

Have the snes rom and finished it a long time ago, Arche's the best!

Runs on Cps2 hardware, meaning I already have it.

I saw the show and laughed at just how retarded it was. *goes to buy the backyard wrestlers autobiography* The documentry just showed what happens when people have nothing better to do than beat each other shitless with glass, I mean really what kind of retarded hobby is that?

How utterly tasteless

http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/beelzebubbl...itive_edge_faq/ Good read even if you already know whats on there.

I'll add some random notes here and there from any game that I'll be playing at the time starting with: The king of fighters 97: If you've played it you know how awkward it is to perform some of the motions in the middle of a combo, so you can use shortcuts like doing a db into f for a hcf or a d into a df for a qcf.

Beezelbub from the neogeo/Shoryuken message boards has one or two very awesome fighting game basics guides, I'll post the link here in a bit.

Funny you should mention that... Anyway I'm not going to argue, the MMZ games are hard, much much harder than then X series but not in a good way. You have a pathetic number of lives and its very very tedious to get a high rank. Okay, I feel better now. MMZ1 was fun for a while...but when one of your first bosses uses a vice that can crush you to death instantly, it's clear to see that there's something a little odd going on. Plus to get all the cool items to make the game easier...you have to be good enough to earn them--so it's kinda moot. Since when are portable games expected to be harder than console titles? That makes no sense. I also thought you said the original SNES titles were harder than any of the X series? I have no idea when it is coming out, but it's supposed to be a remake of the original Metroid. Think of Metroid, but playing more like Super Metroid. The art style is more similar to Fusion, however. Also, don't forget about Metal Slug 3! Yet, there's a 3D King of Fighters coming (argh). I said that most of the X series is easier than the nes megaman games (particularly X1, I think I had more trouble in mario world). The only X game which gave me mind numbing, cat kicking hair ripping fury was X2 where you have to get Zero's parts by fighting the three extra mavericks which appear at random stages when you are pitifully unequipped, but yet its one of my favorite X games. The MMZ series however is much more challenging, up there with the nes megaman games in terms of difficulty, perhaps even harder due to the whole mission and lives scenario. Oh btw I didn’t beat MMZ2 blindfolded but I did beat MMZ while still maintaining my complete cyber elf collection. And I'm dreading kof 3d, Snk should have really just made a new fighting game in 3d period.

So even a greatest hits is pulled?

What game are you talking about?
