rugal was allowed in tourneys?
Iori is god tier in 95 and 96. 95 he has rekka infinite (ala 2001)
I hear there’s loading times between stages ala Metal Slug Anthology…WTF??? Did this occur in the original Japanese collection??? How accurate was that BTW?
I have, there’s not such thing
you know that last hit, finishing blow sound and slow motion of kof 95 has to come back, it’s too awesome
I’m kinda interested in buying this, but really only for KOF 98. Is KOF 98 Ultimate Match coming out on PS2 in America? I can’t find a pre-order page on Amazon or much other info about it.
Supposedly KOF98UM will come out in US in February, but who knows… SS Anthology was supposed to come out Q4 2008 but I’ve been hearing rumors of a possible delay (March 2009 for SSA) … you know, the usual SNKP delay BS.
I haven’t seen too many tourney footages, but in the team battles which could count as competitive matches I saw him being used.
I just got the collection day. So far from what I can tell, the games are emulated pretty well. There are some load times when you enter a game, but then loads very quickly. Practice mode is decent. I like the collection so far.
I have a feeling that SNK Playmore USA are doing something similar for SSA. We’ll just have to see.
Is progressive scan supported on the American version (holding /+X maybe)?
I’m actually not even sure if the Jap version has progressive scan neither, just curious since most Jap SNKP games I have come with progressive scan.
Yeah, as I recall Rugal was ranked #3 behind Kyo & Iori in Japan.
That’s why next month I’m gonna get a jp slim ps2 (or maybe a jp ps3 for when kof XII hits), this, HNK, and will snatch up kof 2k2 when it drops. I’m tired of all these bullshit localizing delays. It’s not like SNK’s wasting time on redrawing sprites in some old game that looks exactly the same when it’s not paused…so why the delays? What are they doing? All their ps2 games should already be here, and have ports on every damn system, including psp. More system ports, more money. Some people don’t have every damn system.
I think they may be trying to spread out their releases…otherwise, we’d have 3 games out at once, all competing for the same niche market. Plus, we know how rare these things are in stores. It’s not like you can buy one now, then wait a few months to buy another. They’re gone, by then. (Unless you shop online…some people don’t).
Not sure why they’re delaying the other two THAT long, but having 94-98 should hold many of us off until then.
I think FFBA1, FFBA2, and Orochi Saga have officially made my Saturn useless…although, there’s still Nights and Fighters Megamix…
I should have placed a pre-order somewhere, or multiple places even. I knew it was a bad idea to be calling GameStop for it, but the day that they finally had it at my local location I learned that it was selling there for $20. Is that even fucking legal? At least 5 bucks more than everyone else is offering it for? Now I’m gonna either have to bite an online purchase or wait till Monday or Tuesday afternoon anticipating a restock at Game Crazy, anywhere but GameStop.
I really hope the controls are perfect like in FFBA2. How can they be so hit-or-miss? The Slug Anthology input delay was painful, and even that was inconsistent between the individual Slugs. And SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 was… :sad:
But that’s the thing
They’re only 15 dollars. Sometimes less.
That means you could buy like 4 of them for the price of one PS3 game.
If they released orochi collection, nests collection, and both UMs at the same time, I’d have no problem buying all 4 on the spot. I can’t imagine many people interested in the titles would.
So I don’t think the games are competing with each other at all. Not with how expensive the current generation of gaming is.
There really is no reason why the ports are taking so long.
If anything, taking so long is what would hurt them alot more than dropping 3 games at a time.
Stay away from Gamestop. I got AOF from them. Paid 5 bucks extra. Haven’t gotten another SNK game from them since.
Amazon is the way to go.
And, for the record books, KOF Orochi Saga is THE #1 RANKED PS2 FIGHTING GAME on Amazon right now. Go take a screen capture and save it for the archives.
Currently ahead of God of War 2 AND Smackdown VS Raw.
It’s also the number 1 action game for PS2:
I don’t know…but, that makes me happy for some reason…
I’m honestly not sure SNKPlaymore USA could handle the production/costs for 3 games at once…for multiple consoles. They aren’t exactly the biggest company with the biggest following in the states. Though, the Amazon ranking for KOF makes me optimistic…
Usually they’re a couple of dollars cheaper than other places, shipping costs aren’t bad either.
hahaha
well considering how old everything else it’s beating out is, it’s not surprising.
and yeah you’re probably right about production costs, but the schedule they’ve been on still seems ridiculous. and most of the time they don’t even stick to it
whats different
whats different about the extra and advanced fighting styles? and can u get goenitz or wolfgang or geese in 98? are they on 98 um?
Advanced
Run
Roll
Multiple stocks, meter built by dealing damage
Extra

Dodge
One Stock, meter built by charging or taking damage
If my memory serves correctly
