Rage of the Dragons Thread

I remember this game. I used to play it online and the 4p games were fun. I noticed that it was on 2df and wanted to see if people still played. There weren’t many to begin with, but I found this game pretty fun. Someone who has a lot of experience, what were the tiers and stuff?

With cassandra I did tiger knee backwards kick to build meter (meter was always useful).

Jones I used, but I forgot what I did with him. Probably just use one of his moves to knock them into a wall for some rape.

Alice is probably the best just for her infinite. Not hard to land into a wall and start it up and continue.

i am actually suprised to see that you play this lol

i’ve always wanted to see this at high level.

team combos were cool. i liked cass and oni’s, and billy/lynn’s.

i remember billy having a good zoning game. lynn was decent with her backwards short crossup.

IIRC the fat dude is the best in this game.

He had gross damage off of everything.

I remember i played this when i was about 8 lol, fun game

I posted the tier list for this game before with explanations. I’ll repost the tier list, but I don’t feel like posting explanations

God Tier
Kang
Alice

Top Tier
Billy (in tournaments with infinites banned, he’s easily the best in the game)
Pupa
Pepe

Mid Tier
Jimmy
Cassandra
Lynn
Radel

Low Tier
Oni
Elias
Jones
Sonia

Crap Tier
Annie

Oni would probably be right above Annie if he couldn’t launch a team combo from a ground combo.

That he did. He could infinite by himself with wall bounces as well. The only character that one could make a case for against him was Alice due to her infinite being mindlessly easy.

We just started playing this recently as my friend has a Neo Geo Cab. It’s Hella Fun!!! Found some pretty decent vids on youtube, both for combos and for actual tourney play. It is fairly deep, and sorta like a 2d version of TTT. I can get to the last boss on the hardest setting, but can’t for the life of me figure out how to beat him. Anyway, I’m doing my best to get people to play here in ABQ, sorta refreshing to find an awesome oldschool game that I never really played when it was new. I would like to discuss some strategy on the game if anybody else still plays or remembers anything.

I just played this as well. It’s pretty neat.

Recently discovered this game. Can’t believe it took me this long to find it. How old is it and how did most of us miss it?

It came out in Mid 2002

It was only released on the neogeo

Rise from the dead~!

Just started playing, really fun. Cassandra is fun, and I use Sonia as well.

Is there any way to combo FI without wall bounce for any characters? Can it be combo’d from a Jump D?

The easiest way to combo from a jump in is with Lynn Baker’s crossup kick, then CD.

It seems to me that Sonia is very good and not so low tier in my book. She has probably the best anti-air and the CD attack works as a good anti-air as well. Powered up with Jimmy makes her even better.

Yah, I dropped Cassandra for now and using Lynn a lot more. I’m really just trying everyone out to see who I like playing. Sonia is def going to be on the team, her knife pressure on knockdown is too good.
