Well I’m not sure how much of a storyline Buriki One has in the SNK world but he’s Mr.Karate then. I’m probably wrong on that since I’m not huge on the storylines from SNK titles but I thought Mr.Karate (Ryo) was storyline related.
Ryo does not become Mr. Karate II in any actual present storylines, but he has shown up in 3 games as succsessor to the throne, each of which are games that take place in the ‘future’.
So it can be assumed, Ryo will eventually officially become Mr. Karate after his father retires/dies.
Mr. Karate’s Alternate look is actually his FF: WA design which is by far my favorite design for Ryo.
Not only that, his moveset in that game is just incredible. A lot of style and power.
He could even do Haoh Shoukouken in the air(!) among other things.
But his moveset in MI:2 actually is that of Takuma’s in the KOF games. Too bad.
I was absolutely stoked when I unlocked that costume, for the mask does not suit Ryo at all since that is his father’s personality complex and that it gave hope that SNKP has not forgotten this look and we might see this design show up in a 2D game. But that would be too cool, so probably not. The best we will get is a lazy update that we got in NGBC.
few random gameplay notes:
Mignon’s 6321463214+P recovers life
her taunts also fill super gauge
i think the same might be true for Ninon?
her 623+k seems really good versus antiair or standing, good for combos
i think she can Super Cancel her taunts??!?
Hyena’s KO-Feint DM seems to have some really interesting properties but it only seems useful against someone who may not have seen it before
Mai’s Ryuuenbu followup is DIRTY, it seems damn near safe against everything, reminds me of Fatal Fury Special Mai’s Ryuuenbu, having it be SC-able AND barely punishable…plus her slow ass Kachosens and all of her air and ground options…she’s sooo much fun to play as it’s ridiculous
plus, yeah, boobs lol
Leona is soooo much better than I gave her credit for in that tier list though btw, i think after a few more weeks ( and ESPECIALLY when KOF MI regulation A comes out and Japanese match vids come through ) the tier list is definitely going to change. she’s so good now, the thing is she was already nuts…why did they give her the option of playing volleyball with her Slasher ball thing…and that random punt OTG DM makes her insanely deadly with meter, i think she might end up being the Chun of the game
Come again? Is that her level 3 you’re talking about?
Well I just recently got a chance to play 2006 again and luckily my friend lent me his data so I could copy it. Just haven’t had a lot of time to unlock the characters. I’ve been playing C-Kyo for a bit and I’ve noticed that his counter move (qcb+P) has a lot more active frames than it did in the 2D KoFs. Because I remember back in those games I would only manage to land it successfully at the most random times. I also like how his qcf+K requires the second K command and how you can juggle off it.
WooHoo! All missions clear, with teamwork.
My brother can do the HCBx2 Freeze E. & Hanzo’s L3 DM, but not combos. And I’m the opposite. For both, I did the combo, paused, gave him the controller, and presto-
He’s also much better at Ryo’s 15-hit Z., pause, I did the DM.
Note that forward & HP is a good way to end the 5-hit combo into the Z., since it bounces Terry.
1-8: Go to the wall, so Kyo won’t fly away from you as you uppercut & DM. But it was tough.
As for Survival:
Gwa ha ha. A lesson in point management, I spent too many & was unprepared for a 400% life, aggressive Jiv at 200.
Now I don’t increase the attack or life meter at all until L100 Iori, don’t buy Power Meters (you get all 5 after a while).
Now I just need to get back to that spikey punk. .
Why is Nightmare Geese’s walking animation the same as Alba’s and his running animation the same as Iori’s? 
Half Iori, Half Alba, but in that suit he is all MAN.
Uhhh… nevermind.
Too bad Geese doesn’t talk in any of his special intros. He should at least taunt them.
I think Geese actually says something during during Geese v Billy.
Personally, my favorite intro so far might be Wild Wolf v Mr. Karate…simply because it makes sense for them to have an intro…and they do.
Hyena’s taunt hits, for a nice chunk of damage.
Armor Ralf’s taunt is like Duke’s stomp move. Haha.
Oh man, mad rep for u.
Out of their 12+ years of friendly rivalry which came before Kyo/Iori rivalry, never had Terry and Ryo had an intro in-game other than opening cutscenes, so I was very happy to see their intro, and is my favorite as well. Very well done and what they say makes sense as well.
2nd favorite would be Mr. Karate vs. Geese: “Shimataka Geese!!” whatever that means, but it’s probably along the lines of “WTF, YOU AGAIN?!”
Armor Ralf’s taunt is his 2D intro from older KOFs.
I thought I would try a game with the english voiceovers…never again.
Billy sounds like a chain smoker…:sad:
Yeah, the majority of them are pretty terrible. I can’t even think of one that’s actually decent. =\
I like Lien’s dub. :S
I guess hers is alright. But I don’t know if it’s just me but it seems like the characters scream waaaay too much when they’re getting hit.
did some more playing today, noticed a couple things
in some cases Duke’s various autoguard strings, not to mention Kyo’s, Ralf’s and various others can be used like a get out of jail free card in terms of priority over stuff you wouldn’t normally think about ( like Mr Karate charge-up punch or Luise overhead flipkick ), not to mention stuff with instant startup like Terry’s A,A,C,6+D,63214+A,623+B punisher ( Terry’s jabs are like 1 frame O_o )
EDIT: you can start Terry’s one frame A jabs in some cases to hit confirm his punisher and if you see the “bluish white autoguard sparks” from the startup of someone’s autoguard punisher you can block or sabaki for free in some cases O_O
this makes me like Terry a whole lot more 
of course, this is all just kind of silly “hit status analysis” and this doesn’t mean Terry’s jabs beat EVERYTHING, if something with higher priority hits it ( like Billy club ) then you’re in for a world of hurt
K’ seems like a really, REALLY good counter to Luise; just hypercop CD or 623+A all of her bullshit, if she rolls back or to the side try B,D,A,C, Ein Trigger or B,B,623+A if she doesnt tech and if she insists on poking at you then do Crimson Star Road for massive damage
Mai seems like a bad matchup for K’ though, he can win but he has to play perfectly ( i did Ein Trigger while she did Kachosen today and the Ein Trigger hit her while the Kachosen went right through it and hit me )
i think i really like Ralf now but it’s weird how it seems like C,C (while charging 4 2sec ) 6+C super cancel 2363214+C doesnt combo
EDIT: it only combos if you SC in the right place…weird
Duke’s last outfit ( bloody jason voorhees ) IS FUCKING BADASS, i use it all the time now
Seth’s OTG game still seems pretty unfair to me
man, where are the Japanese match vids, i demand moar
Duke, Nagase, actually quite a few of them are ok. Notably terrible is Lilly Kane. Not so much for her voice, which is a pretty cute British one, but because she can say like two, terrible lines.
dukes english throw break & lilly’s laundry pole>jap voice actors
HANDZ OFF!!!:annoy: ***
