At the Eye of The Ragin Storm Part II-Out with VCRs, in with DVD recorders!

arstal - im not playing online. end of story. im actually trying to work, not just play and get the hit boxes. i assume Kawaks does this. and i wanna get hitboxes for 98 original cast + ommitted characters + EX versions of said characters + timing in frames for one full extra mode charge with each subsequent lowering of said meter…yada yada yada

Tarkan- Hmmmm Let me check on that to be sure!!

ALso yes MY RETURN TO MEXICO IS NEXT WEEKEND!!

Shall I film footage?

I’ll be in Juarez next Friday-Monday!!!

:lovin:

Just had the company ticket purchased for me!!

mE wants some mexican KoFXI footage!!!

Tarkan- Thats just speculation for the time being…DanD is NOT Shinblanka…

Let me ask Larry.

Torn Apart- Mexico KOFXI footage eh?

Triad now’s your chance…come back to Mexico…come see the KOFXI light…

i think you should film it, them mexicans be good at KoFXI

ok, i just started using kisarah. i think shes pretty deep for an NGBC character. found some nice little tricks with her already too.

[LIST]
[]She can karacancel all her cancellable normals into either command moves, specials, DMs, or DA (iirc) during, and even after the active frames of the normals. stand A is probably the most useful though, since it is karacancelable on frame 1.
[
]When canceled (or karacanceled) from normals, her command move properties change to become faster, but they lose the overhead properly, sadly. This is compensated by the fact that the b+D followup of f+D will still ultimate juggle. Also, stand A karacanceled to b+D is an awesome anti air, and will stop crossups (if they aren’t meaty of course).
[]Sadly she isn’t able to cancel into her scumgale, but comboing it is still possible if you have enough frame advantage.
[
]Nice low bnb is either crouch B, crouch A, f+D, b+D (you can do stand A, f+D, b+D after that if you aren’t too far from them) or crouch D, qcb+A hcf+A (with an optional followup of [stand A, f+D, b+D]x2 if distance allows for it).
[*]Mid hitting bnb is close D, qcb+B, qcb+A hcf+A. If you’re in the corner you can follow up with [stand A, f+D, b+D]x2. I recommend delaying the second rep a bit to take advantage of the OTG glitch, which removes the damage scaling.[/LIST]i want to make a tutorial video or something before i say any more though. since i think her gameplay style is deserving of one.

just to clairify,98 um is an official game @ fr because we love us sum 98!
always have/always will! this was planned over a year ago. we are all
waiting/hoping/praying this game does the original justice.:rolleyes:
yeah i know it prolly wont go down like that but u gotta have a lil faith.
pray for them my sons.:angel:

I just hope all the old-school purists don’t get all uppity and shit all over the new version without giving it a chance…:rolleyes:

i hope Kyo is still sexy in '98 UM

no homo

**Rogueyoshi- **I’ll help you out with Kisarah anyway I can…I been known that stuff **for years ** (ala Young Geese stuff) and got some more TRAPS with Kisarah, that like Athena stuff many could say is “DG Exclusive” :rofl: :lol:

I been telling people that Kisarah, Hotaru and some others are quite frankly the deepest characters in the game.

Shes got quite more tricks I am more than willing to use…

One of my backup teams I was going to use against Mago should he have gotten closer is TUNG-KISARAH.

But no need.he couldnt handle Tung-Athena. Oh well…

To the TRIAD!!! :smokin:

just like to mention DG your Tung and Athena were too good! back to watching the vids…

Based on who I’ve talked to among the OG’s, most of the OG’s are wary of 98UM, but want it to be good. They’re just afraid it will be “gimmicky” as in the ultimate versions of characters being overpowered.

Man i havent played NGBC in a long time. My Mai/Kim team is rusty as shit. Everyone here is too stuck on 3rd Strike and Tekken DR. No SNK love here. :frowning:

Quick XI question

In midscreen can vanessa do a cs.C xx dash puncher, HH.(anything), and still combo into qcb, f+C?

2nd, does this combo work? (haven’t had the time to test it)
cs.C xx qcb+P, cs.C xx dash puncher (any follow-up)

JubeiNinja- Apparently my NC rivals dont think so. They think its trash…:rofl: :lol:

Thanks for the compliments though!! :tup:

Judge- Let me test it and find out.

whats all this talk of the SST title being taken away from DG? last i remember, since i was there… Tokido won that Tournament…

if there is a “american” title i suppose right now it should be DG’s but man don’t sleep on SoCal we got killers in this game and all of us are ready to take that crown… what little crown there is to be had in this game… but you get my point…

next EVO whatever… either me or wicked or Numakie is gonna take the crown both from DG or the Japanese… be it Tokido or Mishimaster… I-No ain’t shit in SST… i was smashing on him for free…

on another note… whats the deal with the SST EVO vids? why is the tournament with the most comp getting no love?

Also, don’t be surprised if an online player takes Evo North if they adjust to Tenka. The technical skill online is quite high, and they do play online tournaments and help each other out. Hype Tenka up on Heavenly Spirits and you’ll get a few players. Mike and Vansibel particularly are vicious. (Vansibel’s Canadien Northwest and Mike’s Ohio- invite them personally, they’ll show if they can- they’re not Emils who run from offline comp)

Expect some characters to be investigated for being to broken in tournament play. Most like boss characters. From orochi, orochi leona, shadow geese, so on and so forth. I know orochi will be banned unless they weaken him like capcom does later versions of M.Bison and Akuma. If you play in ex mode with orochi you could win the game when you get low on life. The light super covers the whole screen and it’s a lvl 1 super, meaning you could do infinite light supers thus killing someone for free. You can’t dodge the light or roll through the light. It’s broken and he is broken.

The 1st game you could use Akuma (ST) he is broken. Why was he broken you ask? Because he’s a fucking secret boss character. I think it would take the enjoyment out of KOF98 um if secret boss characters are allow in tournament play. See in the console version of 3S Gill is banned, even though he is playable in the console version. No one wants to ruin the game by playing with the boss that takes no skills to win with. The problem I see with the new generation of snk/playmore gamers are they don’t understand the difference in top tier characters and broken boss characters. There is no rules for this game right now, so I would hope FRXI could create the standard rules for KOFXI :UM for major tournaments. If you want the community to take your games more seriously you have to re-evaluate what you think is broken and what is fair.

my 0.02

I don’t think the problem is people clammoring for BANS because they don’t know the difference between “broken” and “top-tier”…it’s that they won’t play any new game AT ALL because they don’t know the difference between “broken” and “top-tier”.

You can even look in this thread to see people who won’t play KOF XI and NGBC because KGO and Tung are “broken”.

banning shit before you have tourny results to prove it is stupid, unles its just blantantly game ruining.
