dark geese would know more about the snk games, he’s like an snk god or something; literally thrives on those games :xeye::razz:
^ watch what you say
Best balanced SNK fighters:
KOF98UM- yeah, everyone picked Krauser, but Krauser doesn’t kill the cast for free.
SSVSP
Garou
RB1 and RB2
That’s about it honestly. (can’t judge WHP fairly, as I flat out dislike the game)
I don’t think KOF 98 UM and Garou are balance
SNK games at TGS:
KOF 2002 UM (Unlimited) PS2
ADK Spirits PS2
KOF 98 UM XBox 360
Samurai Spirits Anthology PSP
KOF XII Arcade
UM every character is tournament viable. You can’t get more balanced then that without making it like Karate champ.
Garou is well balanced as well, ask the Garou scene. It’s not perfectly balanced, but no game is.
Name a Capcom game more balanced then UM (not trying to Slag on Capcom, but this is SRK so I want an example to shred)
In RB2 every character except probably Cheng can win a tournament at Japan level. But what really makes me put that game up there in balance is the matchups. There is maybe one 8-2 match (Andy over Cheng), and only a few 7-3 matches in the entire game. The “lower-tier” characters, for the most part, just have a bunch of 4-6 fights.
WHP, on the other hand, is more similar to ST in that it achieves good overall balance via counter-picking. That’s better than the vast majority of games out there, but if I were designing a game I would aim for an end result more like RB2’s, or better yet Accent Core’s (no 7-3 matches in the whole game).
i almost want for KOF 2k2 “Unlimited” to tank so people will keep playing KOF 98 UM, but that is very selfish of me.
wow what?
didn’t even hear about this til now
oh and as far as LB2 ya, doesn’t really need a tourney or whatever, plenty of people play it online so just play it there
Digimonemporer is running King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A at SB3 as well.
Every character in every game can be used in tournaments, but the final characters that would still be in the top of this game are either Geese, Krauser or Iori.
It’s not balance. The difference in tier is much more huge than UM.
Street Fighter 1
LOL stop the anti-srk crap man.
I admit I feel the same way at this news. Got to admit, 2002 never appealed to me. I guess I’ll give it a second chance though.
^ 2k2 was just a different beast altogether and it didnt help the subsystems of the game just pretty much rendered some of my main characters and playstyle just about antiquated, thats why i liked 98 UM so much, they added what i feel was neccessary but at its core its still has the classic gameplay feel…
You got me on the SF1. Tourney results for UM show that other then Krauser, it’s a pretty diverse choice of chars selected. Also, Krauser can be counterpicked easily by at least 1 char, probably others (Rugal counters Krauser)
good explenation. on the WHP point, its not a bad game, i just dont think its comparable to a game like 98UM or motw or RB2 or even LB 1 & 2. it was one of the better of the crappier games. meaning its one of the top of the gutter games, but its still miles away from the top. slow, choppy animation and choppy gameplay (like aof2 but not as bad). even the FF and RB series were only considered middle tiered fighters (not on the level of kof or sf) back in the days and now WHP is looked upon as a great game. that was surprising.
WHP just has alot more to offer than what was presented on the surface after Josh and Adam toiled to uncovered in the past 12 or so months. Im even flabberagasted by this game.
you know all those things they found out where also in the booklet of the game. would show you if i hadnt sold the game. i think you meant more to offer than what you thought was possible. there was a huge difference in what was possible between wh2j and whp. there was a shitload of things added to perfect, not just super moves you know. still not a fan though, one of my least favorite series of snk or capcom. its still far better than having wh2 or jet in a tournament though.
They just need to get rid of that A-groove crap.
arstal How does Rugal counter Krauser? I’ve always thought that Krausers normals has insane priorities.
I still hate how Iori is still top in almost every KOF game.
i guess you got me on that
Every game has its BS but that doesn’t mean if you pick Krauser in 98UM or Kevin in Garou that you will win a tournament. In the end it just comes down to how skilled you are knowing the game inside out.
I only play world heroes games that have deathmatches in them
