I can see why the dood gl0ry was talking to said Judo was best…it seems like if you don’t sidestep that gut punch, you’re screwed and will probably eat 2 chain throws. So you always have to watch out for that, and not get normal thrown either. Crazy how things seem to turn around at high level, where as it seems like JD is playing defense against everyone else at low level. IMO.
Plus that gut punch has different variants too, iirc. And JD also gets a forward ring out throw. Dang.
To Galz, I will definitely play Kwon Ho, I barely got to play cause the times in the closed beta were work hours, on top of bad pings for living on an island.
Now, to the off topic point. I’m sure you got future games in the works, but would there ever be a chance of this type of game, but sprite based 2D? It seems like an online 2D fighter set up like Kwon Ho would be great, especially applying patch’s to fix broken characters, infinites, etc… when they were found out.
Just dreaming, but damn if that wouldn’t be the shit if done proper.
I think 2D “MMO” fighter wouldn’t work too well. First of all, making customizable sprites and keeping them to look good is pretty difficult.
Besides that lag does affect 2d fighters more than 3d fighters. Since 2d fighters need extremely tight timing for combo’s and such, while 3d fighters genereally are based on anticipation. And if you take a lag of a coupla milliseconds into account in your anticipation, there isn’t much to worry about.
Besides that I would imagine that they chose for the virtua fighter set-up so the combo’s would be minimal, and it was mostly about mindgames. Because that is 1. Easier to do considering the Lag 2. Less chance of becoming broken as hell.
Now a 2D fighter is going to be heavily combo based, and being able to upgrade parts of these combo’s is automatically gonna yield infinites or near infinites. So I’m really not sure how well this would work.
If they keep it simple with a good netcode, could be good. Znes runs well and its emulated. I’m not asking for GG or SF3 graphics, just a fair 2d fighter. Probably won’t happen, but I’ve had Kailera and Zsnes work decent emulated. Dedicated code minus the emulation would seem to be possible.
I’m no programmer, but the potential could be hot if done right.
Again, just a pipe dream, but damn if it doesn’t sound like a possibility that would make me a happy man.
I wonder if all this talk on official forums about the game coming out tomorrow or the day after is true.
Probably not, but a man can dream, a man can dream…
that would pretty much ruin my christmas lol
oh wait
I dont think I am doing anything, may as well be playing kwon ho
No, it’s not coming out the 24th. Sorry =(
And no, there won’t be a 2D sprite based game. Someone has to draw all that, and make a game out of it, and it costs a lot of money.
Thanks for clearing that up GP. The official forums are like a sick kindergarten without any permanent adult watching over.
Yeah. I will start enforcing hardcore once the game is back. Right now I don’t have much time for it.
Here’s the other question- if VF5 gets netplay on the X360 version- does that kill Kwonho dead?
Kwonho’s good, but it’s no VF.
I’d say it depends on how popular KwonHo becomes, the more popular it is the more care it’ll get from devs. Whichever game has devs that CARE about the community will be king. Nothings better than a constantly updated game based on the needs of the community.
The KwonHo devs care imo. It’s their baby.
I don’t think VF will have netplay. call it a hunch.
And VF better be better than KwonHo. You’re paying 60 bucks for it!
Regardless if VF has online play or not I doubt the online matchmaking will rival kwonho. That’s what really makes the game shine, the awesome matchmaking and online team modes that are available.
VF will not have netplay.
Holy shit. They gave MT lows?

haha they added the bruce lee costume in the Korean Kwonho and some new gangsta shirts. Looks like they constantly update the gear in the game.
galz any update on the open beta? man im dying to play again
They’re adding stuff. It will be early next year. Yeah I’m eager also.
Someone just let me know (via AIM preferably since I rarely check SRK) when kwonho is up and running. I have a Fansite/Forum in preparation for when the launch occurs.

Any new information regarding netcode? I don’t want this thread to die so soon.
