Why did they take that away from Daimon? I don’t play with Daimon, but something like that is stupid. Oh well. I guess it’s basically just a brand new game but with 98 in the title.
no way, Daimon is just fine the way he is, i destroy people left and right with him:nunchuck:
NINJA EDIT: when is this coming out again.???
As long as they don’t touch Ralf, I will be happy.
Couple more things of note I caught from watching vids
EX Yuri’s Raiohken is now an air move like it was in 2k2, but without 2k2’s stupid angles- so the move isn’t as scrubby
Charge Time is either reduced, or SF2-style buffering of standing moves into down-up charges is now possible.
V-slasher priority is upped combo, though air combos may require a CH.
Man, I hope they re-do the way Krauser plays. I never liked him in 96. He played like an unskilled redneck with a semi-useful Leg Tomahawk, that useful roundhouse-back kick move, a super-lame drop-kick, and Blitz Balls with too much start-up. Other than that, he sucked. Not many of his normals seemed to be cancellable, either, making him pretty lame for combos. Unless they changed quite a few things, Krauser will easily be the lamest character in 98um, and used only for the novelty of playing as Krauser.
Krauser was quite good in 96. He got a counter, another command grab, and 2 new supers.
His normals sucking are what keeps him balanced I think.
Yeah Krauser was close to tops in 96 pretty much I agree…
Yeah his Air CD not being the same is what balances him as well…
Amen, my brother!!!
I think balance reason. Not sure about the other places, but at least in Korean KoF community it’s pretty much agreed that Daimon is top 5, likely that he’s #1 or #2 depending on how Iori is rated.
In their defense, it’s better off for developers to adjust balance issues. The reason Capcom can get away with so damn many A3 ports is that technically speaking, they’re all differently balanced, hence different games. Something like 98 that is greatly balanced, I wish they went like they said and not touch top characters and buff the weak. Something like balance changes from Cvs1 to CVS2 I’d glad to see. Honestly I think it’s the fact that Playmore lost a lot of people who knew what they were doing, more than anything.
man no foxy, angel, jhun, vanessa or kula?:shake::sad:
No why should it? 98 UM includes all the Orochi saga characters…
Wanna play KOFXI Kula? Learn Orochi Chris…
:lovin:
Just my opinion, but
FUCK O.Chris, that easy asshole.
real men choose Lucky G and win with skill
98’ O.chris is actually nerfed from his 97’ version. Normal Chris is more powerful in 98’ than O.chris IMO. I think O.chris takes some skill to play effectively. He is a bit harder to use than normal chris.
That’s kinda true… but that damned fireball is fucked up. Looks like Leona’s spinning hairpin got a lot better too, so that’s two annoying fireballs we got now.
why? There’s almost no difference with them. They both have low poke combos into supers/special moves. They both have the same normals. dp+P is never used by top normal Chris players (since it’s actually a pretty weak move), and qcf+K might be useful but isn’t something that comes into use often. O Chris in general, does more damage than normal chris. Also, the qcf+A fireball actually has uses and the hcf+K can be used as a safe attempt to throw after every normal you do (since if the normal is blocked, the hcf+K has no whiff animation).
The only reason I can see for picking normal CHris is that he actually benefits more in maxmode than O Chris, since normal Chris can combo his SDMs and O Chris can’t.
Emil is right on! Good to know there another O. Chris user out there!!
98 O. Chris is the shit…just my type of character…fast…has a Kula esque lock down fireball…high priority aerial attacks…a Young Geese esque slide etc…
Sure hes not the easiest to play as but he can be learned eather easily.
98 reg Chris has that touch of death combo but takes a lot of mastery…if you can land it more power to you.
what touch of death combo?
I gotta look it up its been a very very long time since I even tried it…
I don’t think it exists…especially not in 98. Not in 2k2 either.
