They should’ve made it a Ikari Warriors game instead. Similar gameplay, but making a lot more sense. Hell, call it KOF: Ikari Warriors and put a buncha cameos if they need to.
huh now.
:u::u::d::d::l::r::l::r::snka::snkb::snka::snkb: START!!!
a buddy of mines on SRK named Tone! says that the netplay on 98um is the worst shit ever but, i still want to hold dat tho.
i still find it hard to believe although, i’m not saying he’s lying but i need to know in other ppl opinions too.
peace out cUDDY:cool:
I heard its bad as well as Garou’s netcode. You can just play them for free on GGPO. I wish SNK would have got the netcode right cause I would have purchased both games just to support SNK. Hopefully they can carry their new netcode over from KOF 12 if its any good.
The net code on 98UM is god awfull as in Garou, just like KoF XII is now…
It’s a shame tbh all great games all gathering dust cause online sucks.
But if ya are able to have friends over for some matches it a hell of a good buy… just don’t expect to be doing good fights online.
Damn Bbing51 you beat me to it 
Both the KOF 98 and Garou you need to have a ping 100 and under for it to not have lag and even then there can still be lag spikes which will pop up at the worst time ever and get you raped by a move you could have blocked or at least moved out the way of. The thing that sucks is waiting to see if you can find someone with the right ping. You may make a room and sit there for some time before you get someone worth playing.
honestly they should have done what BB did with online. Game is so smooth yet SNK couldn’t do it. I swear sometimes they make me so mad I want to go there and start slapping some people to get their shit together.
ouch guyz, that hella sux, i have the game on ps2 american ver. thank god i cop that.
yeh SNK, ya’ll heard from my HC gamers/SRK peeps, step the net play up bay-b:tup:!!!(i still have to cop the game 2morrow 4 the hell of it.)
peace out cUDDY:cool:
I think 98 ntcode is good, well it’s ‘ok’ very SF 4 like, due to the fact that you can choose your opponent after you see what their ping is at. everything under 100 has been nice so far. I’m glad i dl’d the 360 version it’s fun as fuck online, except at 2 or 3 in the morning when no one is really on.
for sure kinda like XII?(well i haven’t played it on xbl) like psn’s XII.
well guyz i’m going to cop it this evening yas:woot:!!!
98 teams mature, robert, and yashiro + many more, mix & match. xx707rudeboyxx get at me peeps.
peace out cUDDY:cool:
No i think it’s better than 12’s code. Maybe for the purpose that you can kick people who have ms over 100 (some peoples are trying to game with 200+ ms!), and just for the fact you can see people’s ms in the first place. I’m on xbox live though. I didn’t know it was out for ps 3, i’ll have my homeboy get it and we’ll add you.
One factor that hurts 98 and KOF in general is the low number of US players. It’s kinda like how G1 was in SF4, the lack of players meant you either had to accept high lag, or not play.
SNK does need a kick button bad, but I think that will be less of a problem if the patch works, as it will be easier to find good opponents , so we won’t be trying to stink up some Japan room and vice versa.
maybe the slim line ps3 can play emus and people can avctually play ggpo on ps3?
Well SNK needs to read what people have to say and fix these problems. If not their games will end up like the ps2 port of Arcana Hearts and everyone will leave them. I hate to say this being as much as a fan as I am but really now. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
There is a very solid fan base in the US. Not to mention all the players in Mexico, Japan, Korea, and Europe. The fans are there but now SNK needs to do their part and deliver by fixing the things their fans/supporters tell them. KOF 98, 02, XI, XII are all the played games that need (solid) online play. Then games like Garou MOTW, Last Blade 2, SamSho, and a few others need to get the same treatment. Its nice to have MOTW, 98UM, SamSho 2, on live but the connection and lag just makes the games not worth playing. With how nextgen systems are this shouldn’t be a problem. Likewise the fact that some games come out on only 1 system and not all or different times. Shit is lame.
The game keeps freezing whenever i am trying to fight someone with a blue icon.
Why does everybody love GGPO so much? Whenever I use it it stutters every 10-15 seconds and the input lag makes even the most basic moves impossible. And this is with a 20 mbps downstream. 2DF makes GGPO look like garbage, and even 2DF could use some work.
I have yet to try GGPO. I know there are those that have mastered the lag on there and can do some major damage. Personally I can’t play laggy games. It drives me crazy.
You computer might just suck. But I dunno, stop playing 3s maybe? Everything else runs pretty clean with anyone under 200ms.
Yeah, I’m going to also have to wonder about your computer. GGPO works so well that it’s really spoiled me against these other fighting games that exhibit input lag on slow connections. Input lag should never be part of the equation.
So I take it that SNK hasn’t fixed the netcode yet?
GGPO is flawless for 99% of the users, you just happen to be in that other 1%. GGPO stomps on 2df connection wise.
Sucks for me then, 2DF has a better chance of booting up for me than GPPO (which only works about 50% of the time) shits weird :looney:
