KoF MI2.5?

[VGmaster9]

Didn’t Regulation A strip much of the original version’s content away?

I miss Fio unblockables. I hardly knew you.

Maximum Impact Regulation A 2 and Maximum Impact 3 were cancelled and Falcoon was fired. Thank the retarded fans that blamed Falcoon for everything, even what they didn’t like in the 2D games (and he was fired despite the fact he was hired because the fans asked), ignoring the fact MIA had better gameplay than the last four 2D KOFs and that the outfits they hated so much were optional.

Here’s the logo from MIRA2, posted at Famitsu at TGS years back:

I was under the impression that Falcoon quit and was not fired. Pressure was coming down from the higher-ups and Falcoon couldn’t deal with it, so he quit. At least that’s the way I heard it.

So, what were the complaints? My only complaint was the problem all of 2.5d fighters have when they try to port 2d gameplay onto a 3d field: feels like not enough stun on jump-ins (you have to hit somebody in the crotch or lower for a decent combo window in 2.5d fighters due to less/quicker stun animation) and hard hits (enemy in some games almost recover from a close hard hit fast enough to get off a quick jab)…oh, and the chain combos (the 3d was tolerable, but they seemed to be trying to get further and further away from kof gameplay with stuff like that).

I love MI2 must still get MIRA someday, it’s really sad I thought it was a nice friendly casual fighter and it had bewbs, how could it go wrong?

It’s got so many charas too:

Hanzo, Fio, Richard, Hyena, Duke are my fav charas.

I play this game all the time.

Hyena is surprisingly really nice. Hella underestimated. He has similiar aegis setups.

This isn’t the case in MI:RA. You can jumpin and combo fairly easy in this game. Especially with the gdlk short hop in this game. It’s a lil too good acutally. Of course some characters favor from starting combos off low pokes…like Mai for example.

And when you look past MI:RA NOT being a traditional KOF but with tradional mechanics and new features, you’ll appreciate it more IMO.
