Most balanced KOF?

IMHO kofXI isnt balanced at all, oswald brakes the game.
Balanced would mean that most the cast can be playable and have a chance at winning right? Saying kof xi is balanced is like saying mvc2 is balanced. They are games where the same 4-5 characters are seen over and over cause they are tops.
There is no way a game(kofxi) with someone as broken as say Eiji can be called balanced. NO WAY! lol
I want to say the most balanced kof game is 2002 but thats not gonna happen, so am going with 98.

I havent read the thread, and this is just my 2 cents. porfavor respeta mi opinion Lukas, no quiero problemas.

I honestly thought that Shion, Magaki and Adelheid would break the game. Not really cuz their boss characters but just broken in every sense.

Probably 2K2 is the most balanced.

ABC + many glitches says HI!

yea its 98/UM thats probably the most balanced. XII is showing promise though.

Marvel actually has some diversity, KOFXI is just KGO.

idk about the rest of you but SF4 = KOF. KOF XII will be the same gameplay mechanic with different moves. From what i’ve seen, it’s going to be a pain playing against the turtlers. For SF4, i don’t understand why they didn’t bring tech recovery from a throw or even air block…well air block is SFA3 style but in any case, balance is what SF4 is missing & KOF XII is looking to be that way too. BlazBlue is the game that i am looking forward to. At first it was KOF XII then SF4 but they are disappointments but nonetheless there is still fun to be had with SF4 b/c i still play it b/c of CHampionship mode but BlazBlue seems to be the one i will be picking up first instead of KOF XII.

KOF 2001!

:wasted:

Seriously though, I’d say 98 and 2002.

JADARAMIRO-have you played kof xii before saying stupid shit like this?- SF4 is incredibly balanced. It looks like KOF XII will follow suit. KOF XII is a different ball game than SFIV

I like how Jadaramiro keeps saying “looks” and “seen”.

First of all in every KOF you can play defensively pretty well. Second anyone who played KOF knows SF and KOF are leagues apart.

You say it’s gonna be a pain to fight turtlers? Sounds like a personal problem to me. I heard K’ in OG 2002 was a pain to fight when he turtled. I don’t see much K’ players in 2002.

And balance? Really? The tourney in the US didn’t have a damn Sagat at tops. Where was he? Also you want to speak balance in KOF? You’ve seen KOF XI I take it? If so you know of the Kula/Gato/??? problem. DG uploaded a vid today of him vs Kane999. Guess what? Kane did pretty damn good. DG’s powerful team didn’t win without losing a ton a blood first. So that means the tops are beatable.

KOFXII is faster than SFIV and isn’t turtle friendly as SFIV.

And LOL@same mechanic, different moves.

This is just gibberish. Get out.

2K2um? I wouldn’t know. But I haven’t struggled in any matchups yet in it =P

im going to say 98/98um, 2k2 is behind, haven’t played 2k2um

Just quit KOF and play Garou:Mark Of The Wolves or RB2, way better than KOF.

2K2UM is the shit. It’s been a long time since a KoF game impressed me.

And it’s got a hot arrange soundtrack, which I don’t think KoF has done since 2000. After that, the music got shitty.

Hey, GTFO. No one gives a shit if you don’t like or play KOF.

This is a KOF discussion thread not a “Your game sucks, play mine instead” thread.

Indeed. Yashiro is an example.

Yashiro Doesn’t appear in 2003 o_0

IMO, the fight is between 98/2002

They Um VERSIONS seems to made a very good effort into the balance of the characters

I thought he meant 2002 Sibarraz. Omg I think i drunk too much Clamato my head and eyes are fuzzy. lol.

I thought that too, but as he responded to a post where hatred edge was talking about LDM, I though that he was confused
