Wonderful. All the cool shit happens when I end up moving halfway across the world. Oh well. I totally wish you the best of luck and that ya’ll can make it happen. Had I been back stateside, I’d most definitely have to show for some KOF98 action. Anyway its probably better than I’m not there to totally and utterly dominate the tournament with Clark.
Hopefully with the inclusion of MOTW, the game will be taken to another level. I’m not as big a fan of MOTW as I am of KOF but its a great game and I’d like to see it up there with the others as a staple for tournaments. The more exposure the better.
Best of Luck guys, for real. I can’t express how happy I am about this.
dummy your probably playing those guetto arcade machines that have MAME inside with them roms already modified and stuff to have the secret bosses… i hate those machines.
Looks like Garou will be the tournament game to play so far, if everyone shows on this list then I’d imagine we’d get some stragglers as well exceeding 25 people eventually. It appears to me that with the saturation of KOF games people are torn between them. Popular opinion is that Kof2k2 and 98 are the most competitive out of the versions.
Maybe I’ll just squash 2k3, but eh I’ll let the numbers decide. Oh and people have asked me if Duo Lon will be banned. As of right now, no, we’ll let our own tournament results determine if Duo Lon can or cannot be dealt with, but if enough people say ban. I’m for the players, I’m not into the game much myself so I won’t have any problem banning him.
Here is a suggestion on 2k3 about Duo Lon. Let him be in the tourny,have ppl watch over the tourny and make sure ppl don’t use that infinites. The infinites are easy to spot as of Iori’s and Jhun’s. Let ppl play the characters,just watch for infinites. If they try to use the infinites,ban them
Well as of right now 2k3 doesn’t even look like a contender in the tournament running, but like I said, if the players overall want duo lon banned then fine. If people don’t play because Duo Lons not banned. That’s cool too. My advise to those that play it is deal with Duo Lon or vote for a Duo Lon free KOF.
Is there like, any chance, that i could have a friend play each other the other chars in my kof2k2 team? I only really play one char, but if i could enter with 2 friends, that would be well worth it for the fun. I understand if thats not allowed, but, am still hopeful.
oohhhh… im down for KOF98, 2k2… hell, even 2k3… down for garou, too
I got burned SvC and 2k2 for ps2… I suppose Shingo/King/etc are out, too
God I cant wait to see how little of my kaillera skill transfers over, and how little my kaillera skill is compared to good players
If KOF2k3 is going to be there you can definitly put me down for that thing. Just put me down as Yagami2k3. Also Doulon is the only person with an infinite. All the other ones you see can only be done on roms. But dont be like the koreans and ban doulon. Its like banning Magneto. I dont use Doulon, But i still like playing doulon players. If you cant handle the heat dont play the game.
Hey what about Team Tournys? It would be fun to have groups go up against eachother. Maybe we could have a 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 and we could also settle some grudge matches as well. This would be really tight. Thanx.
Anyone who knows about Duo Lon knows that he should be ban.
Well Saotome Kaneda says it best:
As for my field information(remember, I’m playing in JAPAN, while you’re probably playing local US or even worse, online, so I’ll say I’m right here. I also called it a corner trap, and not an infinite. The ONLY escapes are:
1: Jumping straight up which leads to the Feint-Air Grab option(which also ends the corner pressure)
or
2: Using a DM with invincibility
You CAN’T roll (Justice Hurricane, Big Fall), you can’t normal, (Justice Hurricane, Big Fall), you can’t tag attack(Justice Hurricane, Big Fall). You also HAVE to be at the bare edge of Griffon’s grab range so if they DO do something that isn’t a Ranbu, it won’t hurt much(King). It’s a ‘pseudo’ infinite.

Everyone else has at LEAST a fighting chance. NO one has better odds than 4:6 against Duo. You CAN’T stop him from jumping, you can’t stop his c.B(his best AA), you can’t stop his free damage. And the DM solution you have has been documented(February’s Arcadia), and if Duo does ONE simple thing differently(walk under you) it renders this tactic useless, right back to the 50/50 chance.
Remember, I’ve been crying foul since day one, and haven’t stopped since. What usually happens for me is either I beast on Duo, then the rest of the team, or I eventually pick off Duo then they run for the rest of the match. With Duo on ANY team, all you need to have is one solid character(usually the guy you’ll stick as leader for quick damage purposes), and you can usually win with those two alone(hence the new Japanese slang for the average Team Scrub users, DD(fill in blank with 3rd char’s name. ex Duo, Daimon, Maxima = DDMaxima)).
