The Ignition site and gamestop both say UM is dropping in january.
I’m afraid they are going to screw up the localization of UM. I just have this feeling.
94-97 level 8 difficulty is straight up just mean not in your favor…:sad:
Help with 98 kensou:
How can I get close D, f+a xx qcf,hcb+B to work? It seem to miss the f+a if I perform it as qcf+a.
That combo doesn’t work outside of the corner. You’ll have to learn to combo the stand D into his super on reaction, or stick to his far C, which gives you much more time to hit confirm.
Go back to neutral after f+A. You have to get used to KoF controls, they’re different from SF(or FF/SS even). It’s not hard, just different. You’ll get used to it.
Anyone tried out the PSP version?
I skipped it for Judgement and Dark Souls but I may get it in January if it’s okay.
All I know is that AI Goro charged up Max mode in '95 and took off 50% of my life using one command grab.
CPU has no shame. Kim will flash kick your jabs on reaction without even pretending to charge. Chang’s Iron Ball takes off as much as a throw ON BLOCK.
Goenitz is stupid. Always has been. Always will be. Honestly, I think he may be the worst SNK boss ever…or at least in the top 3. And, that’s saying a lot. Infinite meter + grab super = you jumping a lot.
I respect people who beat these games in the arcades back in the day. You should have waited 10 years and just bought this compilation for $15…it would have been cheaper.
I’ve been playing alot of 95 and I went through a war fighting Team Korea…
Chang literally swept all my teams when he came in no lie. Whether he was anchor or first he ran through all my characters!
I love 95 to death but the AI on level 8 is piece of shit! : (
Fighters that I have never beaten the single player mode to this day -
Fatal Fury 1
Art of the Fighting 1
King of the Fighters 96
Yeah, top 3 sounds about right. Old trick though, pretty sure this was 94 or 95, but if you turtle… as in fukken TURTLE… the ai doesn’t throw you except ralf/clark/goro so… that was how I beat them. Block and reversal.
you must really suck
Well, I’m not great. I’m no competitive fighter, I play them for single players and aesthetics. Tips?
Iori is said to be top tier in this game(in what other kof he isn’t top tier?,lol). Anyway I think I saw a run of this game on cyberfanatix some time ago. The dude used mostly iori and he perfected every single character even chizuru and goenitz. Probably you can find something in youtube.
as for me I use clark, and I just command grab that shit out. As soon as the match begins I run/walk to the opponent and command grab him( the cpu almost always falls for this) and from there I won’t left him go; C + command grab on wake up and if he blocks, just keep the distance and grab him again from the ground. This used to give me at least 2 perfects per match
this is the game out of all the other kofs I have scored higher, more than 600,000 I remember. The second could be 95 with rugal
96 is very easy, just jump cd alot and you’ll win,or just use iori clark or chin, there’s only a few chracters that can throw a spanner in the works, krauser,goro,choi, chizuru is easy if you got somebody with a command grab, goenitz is easy if you got anybody with a projectile
95 on the other hand haha got alot of fond memorys playing the cpu in that game.
Kim supering everytime you jump back, robert taking 40% just by me blocking haohshokoken, yes 40% on a blocked move, goro putting me in the red with just jumping hk, sweep, beni killing you from perfect with his super
And B, f+A, super in 98 with kensou is very inconsistant, only works well when there in or near the corner
Trying to grab Goenitz will get you killed. At least on level 8…
Certain teams definitely have an easier time than others…and, of course, the main reason to beat the game is to see endings. And, to see endings you have to keep teams intact…even teams you don’t like. And, there in lies the problem…
I spent several hours trying to beat Mr. Big and Mr. Karate AOF1 back when AOF Anthology came out. The stiff controls mixed with the blatant cheating mixed with the damage inflation = royal tier BS. Finally beat it…refuse to play it again.
SNK loved stealing tokens back in the day. I seriously wonder if the programmers had ANY remorse whatsoever. I mean, did they play test these bosses themselves? Did they BEAT these bosses themselves?
I don’t have any problem getting to Goenitz. I have trouble beating Goenitz.
Goenitz isn’t that difficult either but honestly I don’t remember,lol it’s been like what?? more than 10 years since I played the game
if we’re talking about difficult bosses then that would be Igniz, that bitch is hard.
96 difficulty can’t be compare with 94/95. 96 was the game when they started to lower the difficulty
Fuck that shit, Goenitz is hard. I don’t care if you say I suck or not, Goenitz is an ass 
Igniz is also a bitch. Rugal and O.Rugal from 94/95, Goenitz and Igniz are all cheating assholes. Igniz and his stupid SDM…
Iori lp fireball he will teleport 99% of the time, DP, ryo can spam qcb+p due to the silly amount of autoguard that move has, also he will always try to charge up after a knock down if you’re quick you can punish him everytime, anyone with a projectile can just do the iori route
OK please someone tell how the wii version holds up against the PSP, and PS2? I don’t own the PS2, so don’t say stuff like"no one gives a shit about the Wii", so I’m just asking for the Wii version…
