The King of Fighters 2002 KOF 2K2 Wiki thread

Because it combos…the move is not a throw. There’s no reason to combo that HSDM anyway, since the SDM does more damage.

ah ok then

people people people … sigh … do urselves favor and stop talking to this Emil clown … that guy doesnt know shit about KOF 2k2 ( or any kof for that matter ) … he pretends to be the shit here at SRK … but IRL … he is just a lame scrub that because he plays other lame scrubs online, thinks he knows something about the game.

Emil ? … more like Eshit

I don’t recall you knowing anything about me in real life. And by the way, I already “owned” the rest of your K-Force team. The only one I haven’t fought is you, but I doubt it will be that much different. In fact, after I beat one of them (I do not remember who it was), he said something like “this just isn’t fun” and left on me. In any case, those two KForce guys didn’t talk shit.

The great K-Force team throwing out random supers all day and getting beat? Obviously this can’t be the same self-proclaimed “best in the US” team that I keep hearing about. Not that K-Force is much of a team anyway, since even your teammates think you act like an idiot on here.

woo, now that my horrid exams are finally over, I will have time to make some big updates to the wikipedia, as well as test out alot of new things. I’m also interested in seeing if anyone here knows any unusual tricks related to some characters…for example, the fact that Ryo’s f+A can combo into a far A, hcb+B(or HSDM), if the f+A was done really early…or the fact that Ramon’s dp+Kx2, d d+P pickup move can still get him punished by something fast, even if he hits the move (such as Mature’s qcfx2+P, Iori qcb+A, etc).

Emil nice job.

I think i totally forgot how to play the game. But if i DO remember anything about, Vice, Leona, Benimaru, and K’, i’ll try and add something.

If i do add something, i’ll let you know about it beforehand.

Yeah, I could use your help…are you back yet from Iraq? And yes, i need some Benimaru stuff especially…used to use him somewhat, but I gave up on him.

Nope, im not back from iraq yet. as of right now im on 4-day r&r, which is ending in a couple of days. i wont be leaving iraq until near end of july.

w/ Iori
d+a, hcb f+p, run, d+a, hcb+p, then start whatever combo you would like.
^verify and add please.
BTW: K4ever, Even if emil wasnt a damn good player (and he is, hes owned me lots of times, its Hibachi), it would still be very ignorant to do what you have done. Although some of the info on this wiki is pretty obvious to those who are long time kof2k2 players, it is still helpful to those who are just beginning.

eh yeah, forgot about that one…only in corner, started with Iori being the one in the corner. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen you around much anymore…

Edit: Added some more Vanessa stuff…and it seems there was some other Iori information I just forgot to add in.

Edit2: Some more Iori stuff added. I’m in need of some solid Takuma strats…something beyond just spamming hcb+K with his stand CD, and crouch B to f+B. I know about some of the unblockables but they seem difficult to setup.

On the tier list section, it says that there are 41 playable characters. Arent the playable chars 43?

41? where do you 41? I see 43.

aka I just fixed it.

What is the trick to cancelling Joe’s df+B (which is supposed to be uncancellable) into his punch mashing move? I mash both punch buttons (as well as an A+C button) as fast as possible, and it does not come out…yet the moment I put any of those buttons on autofire, it easily cancels…I see alot of people using this combo online, so I’m tempted to say they are using autofire, unless there is some trick to it. And by the way, cancelling the f+B into the mashing punch move always comes out with ease, even without autofire, but the df+B cancel never works for me unless I use auto.

what emulator do i use for 2k2 online?

mame32k 0.64. Get the non-hacked version from www.anti3d.com

Added some more things to the wikipedia, including the Robert and Takuma section with some pretty good mixups and lockdown strats (although his general strategies is still not written), as well as some updates to Kim, Shermie, May Lee, an Angel. Thanks to pepe, he showed me a more reliable way of landing the Angel infinite, which is explained in the wiki.

This isnt autofire, i do this combo all the time.
something like c, df+b, p,p,p,p,p, qcf+p, SC into qcf,hcb+p
What you have to do is start mashing punch AS SOON as you press df+b.

Yeah about that, I figured out how to do it…so it wasn’t autofire after all. Seemed pretty inconsistent though, perhaps I just suck at mashing…

can you cvs2 style mash or is it sf2 style mash?

This may sound a little newbish, but I need help with doing the qcfx4+ac after Iori’s Maiden Masher. Do you have any tips for the timing? Maybe this should be put in the wiki for all us scrubs.

P.S.: Who’s more beginner-friendly, Kyo or Kusanagi?
