The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match Thread

Admittedly, Ralf can’t do much in BC. Technically he has a max combo but not exactly practical, and his cancels aren’t useful. Clark can close C, BC into SDM (or if you are good enough, close C, BC, run up crouch A/close C, SDM).

So yeah, give them some more options but odn’t butcher maxmode.

With Ralf, your main use from BC combos is to make some of your risky gimmicky moves safe.

The onlyl one I can think of is the tackle into mashing punches…and you can just guard roll and punish that. So it’s not safe…he has nothing useful in maxmode.

So guys, when this comes out would you say this would be the definitive KoF to play?

Certainly looks like it.

Honestly I think kof98UM will stay as being the definitive one to play. That’s assuming there are going to be no more system changes made to 2k2UM.

if people drop 98UM for whatever reason other than the game ending up to be shitty, i will just not have the best outlook on the US scene.

So how about I play both?

I would like to learn kof but no one in america really plays. at pz in houston had garou, and kof 98 but no one ever played them.

You would be bomb for that. I want 2k2UM to be good too.

So play at someone’s house? PZ has its own share of issues anyway, last I checked.

Has there been an estimated release date posted yet? Sorry, just really excited about this game like the rest of you guys. I’m happy that they brought back Kyo-1 and Kyo-2 :bgrin:.

Man, I forgot and then I saw it in a video, this is 2k2 so regular yashiro is gonna have his ugly ass neutral animation where his face looks like a monster!

2002 has more appeal for some reason, at least with mexicans, must be that system that so many of you hate with a passion.

There is nothing wrong with dumping 98UM for 02UM if 02UM ends up a worthy game. It’s not like either game is going to draw 100 people at a major.

no strikers?!..FUCK YEAH!

I don’t understand this type of logic. You dont have to “dump” anything. I’m playing both as competively as I can. There is nothing wrong with playing more than one fighter at a time. :shake:

That’s true.

I’m still gonna play 98UM but if 2002UM is more to my liking that’s gonna be my main focus. afterall Sf players play ST/A2/A3/3S. It’s not some outlandish idea that KOF players can play two KOFs.

Anyway more vids.

K’ has something new. K’ XI can do Iron Trigger>Narrow Spike. 2002UM K’ can Iron Trigger>Minute Spike.
It’s in the first vid. At around 0:54 vs King he uses it and again at 1:07.

UNLESS! you you like to use “i can only invest my time into one game.” as an instant excuse when you lose. or when you suck at a game.

I meant in a competitive environment, like choosing which game to run for a tourney. Not your own personal tastes. One thing I’ve learned, you can like a game all you want, but if your locals just want to play two games, they’re going to play two games.

It’s hard to promote new, especially non-mainstream fighters, even if they are excellent (and 98UM is excellent)

Looks like kyo has a fake standing D at 3:01 in the first vid
