I bought the game anyways. I really don’t care about online play.
And if that’s the peoples only reason for not buying it then they are hurting themselves for missing out on a great game.
this.
good shit to missing person to warning me when i was en route to buying it.
Yeah, but most of us want to play other people from our television. That’s the main draw for this release, otherwise, it’s just redundant. It’s great if you have competition locally, but most don’t, especially for this particular game.
I never actually owned the game, and as Nocturnal said earlier, this game is apparently the best release apart from the AES version. I really need to do more matches online though before I decide to just throw it out. At least this will be great for practicing. Hopefully tomorrow i can really test out the online.
the lag thing is pretty discouraging, but its MOTW so I’m probably going to buy it anyway.
…that I can play lag free on GGPO.
Cmon Stu, think about that post.
That you never payed for. (assumption)
Obviously if you’re rating the game on its online play alone, its pretty low at the moment, but the whole package as a whole is actually a good one as nocturnal and stu’s points i think were earlier.
Absolutely. I used to own it on MVS and it’s a great port, I can tell that just from the demo. But online really does hurt it for a lot of people. If I didn’t care about that, I’d have bought it already.
I’m not saying offline isn’t good, or the game isn’t. I love this game, and offline is really smooth. But, how often am I going to play this game offline? Unless I take it to tournaments, rarely. None of my friends play SNK fighters, and I have no scene nearby. Therefore, it’s a waste of points for me.
Played some more matches on XBL and really noticed the lag this time, a real shame considering the game is so fun, hopefully it will get better with time.
That aside, anyone that wants (or attempt) to play Garou on XBL, feel free to add me, my gamertag is cinroth.
I also play it on ggpo, same name. I’ve only played the game for a day so I’m pretty rusty but I’m getting the hang of it I think!
any news on a psn release or nay?
Last time Garou was released it was on the dreamcast, and my dreamcast broke, so just having a legit copy of the game is worth the points for me. I never really expected online to be good, as anyone that has bought SS2 or FFS would already know.
I just played about 15 matches online with a friend. It seemed fine.
And no, I wasn’t hosting.
Are there any slight speed differences like the PS2?
If there isn’t then this game passes as a good console port for those who don’t/can’t import for PS2.
And nothing will ever beat GGPO
He is saying that SNK is making empty promises. Think about it. SNK did blame some of their previous downfall on us (the emulator community). So when SNK takes the initiative to give us an old game with online play, they have no excuse to fine tune it or test their asses off. I would have gladly waited a couple more months if i was guaranteed good Netcode.
I am also with Missing Person on XII’s release. I’m not grabbing it till there is majority confirmation on a good netcode.
EDIT: Congratulations to the slew of ppl who find lagless matches, but there is still no excuse for any lag with any1 whatsoever.
Coreect. If they botch up KOFXII’s online after all the hype they’ve garnered in the community for this game, well…the company deserves to go under.
I’ve had tons of matches and only 1 was laggy.
I don’t know if you guys are playin the same game lol
Also does Rocks raging storm have low priority?..or should I just use his second special?
So I take it 800 points is too much for a good port of this game with an excellent practice mode? That would make it a hell of a lot easier for myself (and others) to practice combos and whatnot and then play online with ggpo.
Shining Knuckle is the only super you should use with Rock. The super has a ton more options. Use raging storm only in 360 throw breaks near the corner, but there are better options than that. Not a recommended anti-air either.
I suck at doing the evac toss
And I dont get the TK motion
Raging Storm overall pretty much sucks. Sometimes you might get lucky with it but it’s slow, doesnt do much damage, and very easy to JD and punish. Rising Tackle is a much better AA.
