Shiki speaks the truth about what I do with Geese as my strategy. Choi, Bao, and Nameless are some of the best batteries in the game so I put Geese as my anchor and do not use supers in those matches and pretty much the goal is to build meter for Geese so if I need him when he comes in he’s prepared to be played at his full potential.

Also he’s right on the ball about the distinction between the NESTS Bosses, O Rugal andd Goenitz/regular Geese.

They build meter 3x faster than even regular Geese, Goenitz, Choi, Bao, or Nameless, putting them in a whole different category.

If I were to make a US Tier list right now including all the bosses it would look like this: (With infinites and meter building being a primary part of their ranking

S++
Igniz (2 infinites, builds 2 bars of meter off a blocked chain), Nightmare Geese, Krizalid

S+ (All build insanely fast meter)
O. Rugal, O. Zero, Clone Zero,

S: Geese

A: Bao, Jhun, King, Nameless, Choi, Yuri, Kim, May Lee, Billy, Kasumi, Athena, K’, EX Takuma
A-: Hinako, Heidern,Leona,Lin, Shingo, Kyo, Iori, Kyo-1, Andy,Kyo-2, Kusanagi, Daimon, Seth, Takuma
B: O. Shermie, Kula, Angel, Foxy,Whip, Robert/EX Robert, Mai, Terry, Joe, Maxima

Low Tier POSSIBLY:
Chin, EX Kensou

And this is for now! This game is soooo well balanced its very hard to tier!

I don’t think that Chin and EX Kensou are all that bad to get singled out. Chin especially is a bit better I think than he was initially.
I think after Geese, the characters in the game are very, very even.
There’s a cadre of characters that are definitely a cut above (Jhun, Bao, Nameless, Choi, Yuri, Kim, etc…) but no more than A+, and I don’t think anyone in the game is under B-. That’s how balanced the cast is in this, which is incredible for almost 60 playable characters.

Also, Clone Zero is definitely better than Original Zero and probably Omega Rugal as well. I might even say that he’s better than Krizalid.

some KOF REVENGE matches from china:

here is some kof revenge matches from japan. im guessing its the joybox arcade http://www.youtube.com/user/geesendou

Next time you link to that account make sure you go through those matches because a good amount of then show shitty gameplay.

If only they had put this on PS3 or at least made it for online play for PS2. I would have surely paid for it. I guess I’ll just have to stick to GGPO for my KOF fix.

is it a 50/50 special or something

afaik the location the lightning strikes is random, sometimes the lightning misses the opponent, sometimes the lightning strikes O. Shermie herself. Just do the HSDM and hope for the best.

Didn’t O-Shermie’s HSDM get improved in 2002UM? As in more chance of hitting opponent and not you? I can’t remember now…

Sorry, I haven’t been keeping up with this game as much as I would like to. Has there ever been an announcement for a US release or something?

I would also like to know if this game will be coming to America

XBLA in 2010!

But I’m not too happy since we know what is going to happen:lame:

wats gonna happen? im just glad its gonna be released. Now i just need to get money to get a 360

Well you probably heard how horrible the netcode was for Garou and 98UM, don’t be surprise if it happens again with 2002UM!

yea i hope ignition busts on snk for that.

Does anyone know if theres a rom to play this game on ggpo? Wasn’t this game released in arcades?

2k2UM Should come out and i’ll play it Online instead of KOF12’s Netlag.

Is this coming to XBLA?

answered
it could come out quicker only because they just have to code it for 360, stamp on the shitty netcode and you have 02um on XBLA

As SNK/KOF fans are we cursed or somethin’? :wasted:
