Critique me: (via 2DF) http://2dfighter.com/freeplay/2DF%20FreePlay%20Client.application?replay=10/2009/65/21584_8447_128808628885978745.2df&p1=nabilha&p2=Alex2501

So, I’ve just started getting into KOF 02. I enjoy it, but as you can see, I got my ass handed to me. I know I need to work on my combo skills, defense, and stop relying on projectiles. I think I rely on projectiles too much from playing Street Fighter and being fairly safe while doing a projectile. I need more practice, I know, but any specific tips I would find helpful.

BTW, I should be getting my Sega Saturn controller very soon. Joy!

i answer myself…it’s not possible only Gatling Attack to DM

@Alexander: which device do u use?do u really like those chars? it seems that u dont know really well how to use them (i dont like them :P)

Well, that player was probably average, but don’t let one match dictate everything (just look at my matches, good days, bad days, scrubby days). As far as basics go, I should recommend looking at http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/The_King_of_Fighters_2002

From what I saw, I guess I could offer you a little advice:

-This game is not like SF

-Kusanagi stuff: http://kingoffighters.planets.gamespy.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1979

-K’ I can’t really tell you a whole lot just because I never really played against a really good one. Should get used to his B&B c.B, c.A, qcf+A. Doing qcb+B/D with or without the follow-up is a no no.

-Iori is a character that is extremely powerful as a last character if you know what you are doing. A lot of people pick him up early since he has a large fan base, just like Akuma and stuff. A lot of his good stuff takes practice and being comfy with his mix-ups and rushdown. I honestly suggest picking someone else if you are just getting into kof.

anyone got a match up chart on this game?

System_1 · April 12, 2009, 12:44am

Not bad at all…

BIG_BAD_MOG · April 13, 2009, 7:14am

How does Beni go against Daimon? Daimon seems to out-prioritize all of Beni’s pokes. Can’t even fake him out with an air d+D and d/f+C beats out all of his air attacks.

BIG_BAD_MOG · April 20, 2009, 9:33am

I can’t find any of the Daimon 2k2 unblockable setups.

Thanks, been googling a ton. CX = Cyberfanatix?

Hatred_Edge · April 20, 2009, 11:34am

Yeah, that’s correct. Don’t ask about Daimon matchups though. Matchup discussion is pretty much nonexistent over there.

Khiempossible · April 27, 2009, 6:33am

is it just me or did chin’s c.C and s.C get raped in this game?

Lantis · April 27, 2009, 9:22am

Chin is just one big rape job.

Reminds me of the Detroit Lions.

Emil · April 27, 2009, 10:10am

Honestly I think those two normals are still quite solid in kof2k2 though his close C was faster in 98. That said, his special moves are more useful in 2k2.

Khiempossible · April 29, 2009, 8:04pm

far C doesn’t cancel anymore. I do like the way he has an easy way to build bar with rdp+P and how it enables his moveset though. I also like how cl.D is now an overhead on the second hit.

still. whiff cancelling and comboing off far c hurts his game pretty hard I think.

Emil · April 30, 2009, 3:13am

Far C can be cancelled in kof2k2…

Robinho · August 12, 2009, 9:24pm

Hi… I have read the complete thread and it has been very useful, but I have a doubt that hasn’t been discussed (at least here). I have trouble doing a hit->max mode->run. For example with Kim, I try to use the shortcut f+B->f, f + BC->C… I never get the run after the activation, I just get a B or C. What’s my problem with the inputs?

System_1 · September 23, 2009, 6:09am

thx!..i’m kinda late tho…lol
