cool cool. I need to see what the chin changes are. And how amazing leona’s new hair tie really is.
I have the game now. I’ll play it in a bit. Seriously. Hype.

this is a call to Marvel players! Lets the combo videos be the signal.
If this is at PNWmajors I will play it casually like a motherfucker…can’t wait.
I need to buy this game. I am curious to check it out, finally, a definitive port for this game on a console we all own.
Then again, I may not have time to check it out seeing as how I entered damn near every game at the tournament.
Brian is sooooo dumb now. <3<3<3<3.
That Meaty Down B of his has a sweet combo option now. Down B>Down A>DOT on a jet Engine.
I mean hell. uber Pyscho Crusha is like Dead on Time. But with a Jet fucking Engine as the sound effect. hop A>j. Down C>Choppa is sweet off of an overhead. hcf+B feels like cheating. He’s just solid now.
Andy feels a lot better with the buffs on his f+B, Super, Airdive and uppercut. And the new qcb+C is cool.
Yuri’s pokes being sped up is pretty nice. She also feels like she belongs in the game now.
I’m loving this game. It’s like KoF98 but even more awesome.
I was watching some videos today on youtube and I got some questions/observations/thoughts.
-Blue Mary has a super (?) where she has like a blue flash behind her. What’s the purpose of that super? Is it a custom combo super or something?
-Are Geese and Wolfgang Krauser top tier? I swear I see them on hella teams. With Iori being a close second.
-Is there another mode besides extra and advanced?
-EX King looks terrific.
-The music in this game is atrocious. It actually makes me think of Nate, and then I start laughing.
-Do all characters have an EX version?
-Every EX Blue Mary I’ve seen has gotten scraped.
-I think someone should just run KOF 98 UM tourneys at Zach’s. Even if it isn’t like apart of the ranbats. Why not?
I love the idea (fuck a CvS2. seriously.) but I don’t know how well it’d fly. We gotta get a casual setup next time and get some people into it.
You guys could just use one of the ST rooms for KOF 98 UM. I’m sure you guys don’t have to have two ST setups.
That’s what I was thinking… We need Pablo’s TV back and for someone to bring a PS2. Mine’s not in very good condition but I’ll bring it if no one else has a fliptop or something.
1.Not sure I haven’t looked at EX Mary yet.
2.Krauser and Both Geeses are really good same with Iori. They are also pretty easy. But yea. All 3 are Top tiers. Altho not broken.
3.Ultimate. It’s a Custom Set. Advanced and Extra have some bonuses. Like ADV gives +1 stock when you lose a character. Not sure about Extra yet.
4.Yes. She is very good. AA Super is gay. Her Corner BNB does like 40%
5.Music is awesome. <_<
6,Kyo, Terry, Andy, Joe, Ryo, Robert, Yuri, Mai, King, Chris, Shermie, Yashiro, Billy, Yamazaki, Mary, Geese and I guess Rugal (Don’t use his. It’s the final Boss.)
7.I personally like Normal Mary better. Shrug. She hasn’t been getting much use tho.
So, who has an SPD in this game? I know Goro is good, but that nig is boring to play.
are you lookin for command throws that just LOOK like it hurt or just any character with a command throw?
Well, what are Clark’s throw set ups? I like him, but I don’t think I ever learned or paid attention to the “right” way to play him.
By SPD you mean grapplers?
The King of Grapplers 98 has a TON of grapplers. And they are fast as fuck too.
Benimaru (Fast 0 Frame grabs. Lawl.), Goro (Really grab heavy and has JAX Ground pound too. But not as good.), Clark (True SNK grappler right here. 90% of his speicals are grabs The other 10% is his Mash punch move. Which no one uses.), Krauser (HCBx3 Motion is disgusting tho.), Shermie (Clark with boobs.), O Yash (Goro with Speed and no Ground stomp.), Heidern (STORM BRINGA.), Vice (Another insanely grab heavy character. Not as heavy as Clark or Shermie tho.)
I say pick up Clark. He is the Definitive SNK Grappler. His game is very simple and VERY solid.
BTW Reversal command grab is hot.
Clark Combos…
Close Normal or Stomp>hcf+D>qcf+C
Close Normal or Stomp>HCB, HCB+C
Thats pretty much all you need to know combo wise. His pokes that are strong are Sweep, Far D, Down C, j.D, j.C, j.CD, Far C, f+B, Far B, Everything. dp+Kick is a good move to do as they are getting up cause it beats out a lot of shit and just grabs them out of their reversal. dp+C is a fairly good Anti Air but Airthrow might be better. After any of his Non Super throws/Non Normal throws he can input qcf+C for an OTG follow up Elbow for free damage. He is solid as hell and rarely changes ever.
Throw set ups for Clark? Tick Throws, Walk up throws, Throw Oki using DP+Kick, Close C, Down B, Block and Wait>HCF+D.
He is pretty much a standard grappler. AKA Badass. A lot of sweet tricks too. like empty jump>Throw, j.D>Close C>Throw, Etc… He is bare bones. But extremely good.
And cause Elias asked me to break it down…
ADV=Preset for Run/Roll/Stocks When a character dies you get +1 Stock.
Extra=Preset for Dash/Dodge/Charge Gets low life=Super spam faster as characters die.
Ultimate=Custom. First Choice. Run or Dash. Top Option is Run, Bottom option is Dash. 2nd Choice. 1st Option is Roll, 2nd option is Dodge. 3rd Choice, 1st Option is Stocks, 2nd option is Charge.
That’s escalation mode. It lets her finish some specials with dynamite swing by doing d+C. People want to turtle like hell when she does it, but the activation is fast enough that she can insert it into combos like here (at 1:24 and 1:40)
once people get more used to ex mary you’ll see her used alot more. Escalation mode is pretty hot shit… also her spider is better cause you can do it in the air. I really like ex mary.
Hey if you guys are up for it, we could do some KOF this week. I’m literally up the street from XTG (140th & SE 2nd), if we get Sytha over I’ve got a couple of roommates (super extra scrubby) that play KOF too. That’s five right there.
Done. Just tell me the Date and time.
