NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (NGBC) Thread

That sounds good. Microsoft brought up the limit on how big XBLA games were a while back, so this could work with the more lenient limitations. I’m sure the 3D backgrounds/extra music got removed in 98UM due to the old limit (and even the final version was pretty damn big)

Sprites don’t bother me too much but I could see why people hate them

i firmly believe that the filters are optionals (at least, in garou and 98 there are some graphics options)

All I gotta know right now is can Akari combo centipede after cr.fierce?

I don’t think so and even if it was, it’d be perfectly escapable.

Only ways garanteed is off of 2,8+P or 2HP, 4HP (has to be done fast and hard to do, but almost no damage scaling), or supercanceling from the P attack of the running special qcb+K (not gonna happen in a real match).

So there are several videos and some (bad) matches here:

wow, those sprites are HORRIBLE! They better offer options to opt out for the old sprites/css
Does not look like it’s worth getting on my standpoint.

I tired to stream those matches and it claimed I didn’t have Windows Media Player.

Are you fucking kidding me.

Edit: Yeah, the players are ass, but I guess that can be forgiven to just see it in action…nah Akari player got a counter wire with qcb+K ~ HK and didn’t combo off it…what a waste. Do you know how I would kill for that to happen…anyway yeah the sprites look like crap, the new stages are decent.

I’d really just settle for them making the original boss lairs selectable and giving a stage select.

From what I’ve seen, I think the sprites are fine. I was expecting something really washed out and lacking detail, but I didn’t see that. I think people are too used to the rough look of the old Geo sprites. And yes, by all means flame me for having an opinion different from yours.

starts a fire
Someone seems to be a bit sensitive.

Hmm sprites don’t seem so bad now that I have seen them in motion, but I still hope the option for the old ones is there.

Well, they’ve gotten better at "REBOUT"ing the sprites. If its well enough recieved, i wouldn’t be surpised if 2K2UM gets "REBOUT"ed as well for its XBLA release.

I can’t believe most of yall are hating on the filter, I think it looks smooth.

94 Rebout looked a lot better than this.

We’re hating because it looks atrocious in 720p:

MSXBOXWORLD.COM released some footage from the game and I upped it to YouTube.

It’s still processing but it does look good in motion though.

Looking at those shots you linked Frankfurt. It looks like its a heavy filter ONTOP of the Rebouted Sprites. Im sure you can turn them off and just get the Rebout sprites alone, and if that doesn’t float the boat, then prob a way to revert back to pixels as it was originally.

oh snap gogogo (minor) balance changes

ok some of the characters look like ass, but not gonna lie

this looks really nice

BALANCE CHANGES???

NGBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBC

wait where do you see that or are you just hoping

oh fuck i’m sorry i didn’t mean to spread misinformation; i just saw this for the first time and it seemed like an ample opportunity to change some stuff up if they’re already bothering with the visuals

my apologies :sad:

oh, well shit. They could have still done that, but I doubt it.
