:wow: Grr, that damn name I will never forget. Just seeing that name makes me wanna train again and beat him. Big, I’m gonna have ta holla for some practice for this guy.
thats exactly what I want to hear.
Wait so no need to record matches on first round?
no need, it would be recommended
but its required for semis and up
I don’t know…I played him in KoF2k and all he did was infinites. Sort of made the battle pointless. I’m not sure how good he is in 2k2.
Anyways, as much as I would love to join this tournament, I’m not sure if there would be a point…this game is generally dominated by the ability to hop, and my keyboard is unusually picky about hopping…the best I could do against hoppers is to turtle, because of this.
Hey HELLSAP i tried to change it they wouldn’t let me i changed the thread title but the mods won’t let me have it changed. ALL i’m askin here could i get my tournament back i would like to say who’s going aginst who or could we be partners for this tournament then. It’s your choice.
also by putting yashiro on the tournament you already putted the winner of it that’s why i didn’t want to enter in it cause he would be in there sooner or later.
Put me up there for 2002. Might as well for 98 too, nothing to lose.
OH what tha fuck man i’m hostin this shit SO I’ll put myself down.
You wanted to participate? I can add you, yeah…
I still disagree with “i’m hostin this shit SO I’ll put myself down.”, because youre running your own tournament, and I’m running this one.
I stole like the 4 people that signed up for yours that I havent talked to to get added to mine. If they dont want to participate in this one, I can remove them.
Anyway, I’ll add you to the list as a maybe. You dont seem to be handling this whole tournament thing very well.
I’ll enter, schedule permitting
3 down, and 1 to go! 
Then it’s a trip to North Campus to return my books, a (hopefully) quick stop by financial aid, and I’m done!
Woo! :woot:
Heh, sorry had to get that out of my system. Now back on topic…
Yashiro (from Team Maniak) is pretty good. Great execution, but his defense needs work, though. He has a rough time dealing with situations where he isn’t on the offensive. If you can keep him guessing (crossups are great for this), then he’s at quite the disadvantage. He has a hard time with O. Shermie (and surely other zoning chars) as well, although I’m about the only person in all of Kaillera who uses O. Shermie regularly.
His Vanessa stood out as being nasty, but she’s a real nasty char to begin with. He’s learned the combos, but not the character. Much of what he relies on (and any person who uses things such as infinites) is muscle memory (ie, doing without thinking). Break that rhythm, make him think, and in doing so, you’ll slow him down and trip him up.
If you have a grappler, and you have the timing down on their main command throws (Clark / Ralf’s Super Argentine Backbreaker, Ramon’s Tiger Neck Chancery, etc) you can grab her out of her dashes & teleports. Just don’t turtle up, because it will spell your doom against Vanessa, who can switch high / low, or just break your guard with the f+C out of her teleport.
Hmm, looking over this post again, maybe it’s better suited to the other thread (where I usually give advice) but eh. :tup:
Something Hellsap and I were tossing back and forth was having a team Tourney as a thing on the side of the main tourney. Now, what do I mean by “team tourney”.
Three players form a team, where they each use one character. Then using the 6P version of KOF 98 / 2k2, the team will go against another 3 player team.
We tried this way back in the day (some 2 years ago or so, maybe longer) and it didn’t go as smoothly as we would’ve liked since some people couldn’t make it, and as a result teams had to be reshuffled at the last minute, etc. In addition, finding a server that everyone has decent pings at isn’t the easiest thing in the world. :bluu:
This is how the team tourney was set up back in the day.
-
Each team member chose a character and would stick to that char throughout the tournament.
-
A player couldn’t be a part of more than one team. In other words, a guy from team A couldn’t also be a part of team D.
-
Each team would create a team name to represent themselves in the tourney, and submit it along with the nicks of the players and the chars they were going to use.
It is really cool to create your own team, complete with team name, theme, etc. Especially in <98 when your characters were on the sidelines during the match, reacting to the fight and jumping in when a char was in a mash throw or dizzied (forgot the command…hcf+P, was it?).
Anyway, it’s an idea we were tossing around and may throw together as a side thing.
That’s about all for now. Final exam time! Woo! :razz:
Hmm, his Vanessa is pretty good, but yeah, breaking the rythm down for him is not so bad since he likes to do similar patterns, so a simple snap into that pattern breaks his style. Been a while still, so he may have changed up. The only real problem I have against this guy is his Angel. Even if you see the stuff coming out, you can’t necessarily counter it easily. Maybe it’s bad to discuss about someone else’s style when he’s gonna enter the tournament, but hey, I want him like Uncle Sam.
How could you forget about me!!! :sad:
Hey, count me in.
Don’t worry i remeber you :badboy:
Aww, I wound up forgetting a few people, actually. :sad: Forgive me! I’m old, and my brain isn’t as sharp as you youngun’s out there. :looney:
Don’t worry, its not like anyone will actually show up to the tourney. I’ll join if Hellsap can beat me 11/21. I think he has 2 but they were really laggy and we didn’t finish them, so we probably reset back to 0.
If everyone DOES show up…we are going team tourney.
well, technically I have 3, but you wanted to discount it cause we reset to start recording, which didnt work out in the end anyway…
Dont worry serp, youll be joining this tourney soon enough…
and AARON, SUP… WHERE THE HELL IS AIRTHROW!!!
mu SHIKI!!!
mu SHIKI!!!
