Dude I play pad…pressing CD is not awkard to me…Pressing E is like macroing shit…IMO…I am the biggest SNK pad player you will meet…I dont need E…
I can press CD…
Now is there gonna be a rule on which to use? Probably not unless something broken gets found out…
…Liking the way this looks, at least so far.
But what’s going to be the story now? If the PS2 port going to come out any time soon, or are we going to have to wait for the Arcade version to run its course, and wait even longer?
What would you prefer? Just asking because I want the Arcade version to run its course personally…I hope this game is really solid very few things broken so I can use it in tournaments and not resort back to just plain Mary Jane 98. (No problem with that but whats the purpose of getting hyped for 98UM if we are gonna be focusing time on 98’)
Ok, those guys playing didn’t know how to play the game at all, or they were testing stuff out.
The animation doesn’t look “smooth”, when Rugal was moving around he looked like a stick figure.
As stated, the presentation looks bad.
Krauser’s throwing you up then fireball you looks cool. His SDM looks terrible though.
Yamazaki’s hair colour sucks.
Yea, these guys don’t know how to play the game.
Here’s another vid from the same user

Hmmm… Opinions are varied in Chinese KOF community. They all dislike the graphic because it’s like mugen. Tech roll is much harder? Guard break stun much longer (very good for Normal Yashiro). O.Chris’ 2141236A/C does less damage. Daimon unblockable earthquake is gone. Leona can move after she throws out 214A/C. Rugal/Chizuru guard cancel motion changed to standing C instead of C+D… Too many changes. Do I have to list them?
Maybe there is a difference between c/d and e… like e does little to no damage and is only usable off of blocks or something. It’s possible they changed things a little to turn C/D into simply a Samurai Spirits-style super-hard attack (that can’t be used off of blockstun) rather than just a multi-purpose knockdown move. It would be cool if ex specials were added and their motion + cd was the command to do them. Of course, not every move would have an ex version…
??!?! What E button? Is this thread about KOF 98 UM or I am in the wrong thread?
The game only has A, B, C, and D…
Hmmm so do you think they are going to accept these changes?
E button is gonna be the 5th button that all post Atomiswave SNK games have…
SO they are using it to make it a CD button…IN 98???
:wtf:
Yes, no E button. Amen. It’s 98, not NeoWave2 
Too many changes, most of them are reasonable, except Iori’s 623A is totally unpunishable?!?!? Maybe I read it wrong, lol! Though the graphic isn’t impressive, the gameplay is unbeatable. You are a hardcore 98 fan you will love it.
DP+A unpunishable by Iori??
:lol: Good shit…lol. I agree hardcore 98 fans gotta love it…but then again only time wil tell when it hits after Spring post FRXI possibly…thats when I’m making my pilgrimage to Mexico lol.
Oh boy, I take it back, atm 98UM is terrible!
If you are a hardcore enough, you will understand the changes did balance the game a lot. But the game base on what the players describe is another “NGBC”, or slow, or laggy sometimes… They will probably fix it after this loca test. Hopefully they can fix the speed issue. Everything else is good.
So they built UM on the SvC engine? Interesting.
for being on taito type x(2?) hardware, it doesn’t look to be utilizing its power. i’ll reserve judgement on the gameplay for now though.
stop by ggpo to challenge some people from mexico

Some vids so you guys can judge for yourself
Kasumi being able to counter into Super in the corner? Sweet.
As someone who’s played NGBC, I don’t see slow speed. I think it looks fine- based on the vids. Slowing down a KOF game is rarely a bad thing even if it did happen though.
I can tell Kasumi isn’t as useless as I was afraid she’d be.
Notes:
Looks like one version of andy has full-screen fb AND Dam Breaker
Kasumi can high counter into super into the corner
Krauser has his RB2 powerbomb counter, and his RB2 command grab in addition to his Kaiser Suplex (2 command grabs?)
Unlimited Desire/Deadly Rave do not autoranbu if blocked.
Rugal seems to have a quicker reppuken
EX chars seem to be noted in red.
Big has a command grab now? (not Viva! TM Triad)
Big also seems to have an overhead now.
Krauser’s jump CD seems a little different
EX Ryo has the AOF1 HSK, I wouldn’t be surprised if Regular Ryo has the KOF style one. Forget if that’s similar to arcade 98, most EX Ryos just pretend they’re Akuma anyways. Looks like a motion for EX Ryo
The Super Psycho Ball wobbles it looks nastier then Bao’s 99 version. Also comboable off grab
Chin has command grab DM and another new DM (4 DMs?)
People are joking.
Seriously there is input lag in 98UM’s location test version. You wouldn’t know it until you play it. At first they think it could be just the motherboard or monitor, but players found the same thing happen in another arcade.
95 Kyo got the old SE? I heard that his attacks and being KOed has 95’s sound effect? Interesting…
to me the game looks too fast, sort of like 96. Air cds look too fast look at krausers look at kasumis even ralfs.
yeah i have to agree with the other guy it does look jerky, krausers new grab looks terrible, maybe it’s just the vid.
Also what’s the point of that new command throw DM with chin?
Does anybody else smell a rat with athenas new dm? IE command grab let them drop do new dm either teleport behind them and try something or teleport in front HMMMMM!!! enough negatives though
yeah EX andy with his 95 dambreaker is sweet and it looks safe to.
rugals kaiser wave looks like it comes out faster to me.
Krauser looks good despite moving like flick book on some of his moves
Kasumi todo having her old air CD from 96 not the 99 version, also keeping her air CD into air projectile/wave good pressure tool, also i think you might be able to land a super anywhere after her counter not just in the corner.
Geeses raging storm looks like it might be a valid anti air, it was unbeliveably shit in 96, also does he have a deadly rave ranbu in just DM form? i swear i see him do it and are they safe on block it looked that way to me both his and krausers, i would love to know the propertys and prioritys i hope they’re not invincible if they are i can see another neowave young geese random deadly rave snoozefest
EX yamazaki looks interesting, his super grab range looks terrible though
Also i have a question for anybody at these tests or if they have actually seen it for themselfs does Mr Bigs DP have auto guard on it seeing as it did in 96, and has heiderns guradcancel changed? oh oh oh i forgot CH damage? is it still too strong?
Overall i think it looks pretty good
Yeah i remember reading that, EX kyo has his 95 sounds,which is good because his voice has pretty cool in 95
I am getting this shit fuck food.
Krauser’s new grab is direct from RB2
I think those supers may be punishable on block, it’s a new game so people don’t know how to punish fully yet. I also don’t think they’d juggle, so you’d get one hit out of them if they were used as air D- so no Neoave Geese garbage- if they keep RB2 properties. I do like the raging storm being useable as Air D.
Those Air CD’s seem toned down from 96, especially Krausers. Ralfs looks the same speed.
