The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match

Man! I love KOF '98! Dream Match

How did I hear about XII and not this game? Thank you, KOF loyalists for bringing this to attention.

If they are CPU only characters then how anyone saw special intro betwean Geonitz and Orochi? And are you one of those who believe that boss can`t be made balanced and playable?

when is this coming out again for pS2??? I been waiting forever

I mean the Ps2 Version:wink::looney:

It was ps2 version.

No. In fact, I expect the bosses to be tournament balanced so I can use Goenitz in my team.

Ain’t gonna be nothing but regular svc Goenitz with a couple tweaks, though, right?

They added new stuff for Kasumi and Eiji, so there is hope.

i forget the name of the vid but it’s like a vid of people playing in a tournament hosted by SNK and the people that do the voices of Kyo, Iori, Athena, and the one that does like King and Blue Mary and all them are commentating. It’s actually quite funny, especially when the guy who voices Iori laughs along with his character, or when he’s throwing fireballs he goes “DOSHITA!”

I wish i had the link i lost it but i’m sure someone else has it.

Fine by me, svc goenitz was so insanely buff.

i think there’s been a couple of changes to goenitz, i remember reading that his hcf any button AKA the whirlwinds OTG now and also his Reverse DP you know the move the cutting blades shit is like takuma FBF+P once it makes contact the whole thing hits, i remember seeing a video of goenitz V takuma and he does it, it took quite alot of damage, i have not seen his rekkas which he got in svc yet niether have i seen it mentioned that he has them.

I wonder what other changes will be happening

Ahh this is the exact video i was on about, also at 16 seconds or 15 it looks like he does HP into some sort of new command grab.

then at 1:35 he otgs hcf+kP whatever, my error in saying it does good damage it’s a fucking boss battle

Someone’s who going down there today, test the unblockable fireball glitch- especially with Krauser and his Kaiser wave if possible (he’s the one new character who would have it)

will do!:tup: im sure there will be plenty of people that will be looking out for that one.

anything else?

If you can, could you test how the dashing command moves work in the new Extra Mode? I’d like to know if they completely removed the ability to do command moves while dashing, or if they just changed their properties to prevent infinites, or whatever.

Can you check the counter hit damage is it still stupidley high?

Also can you check geeses deadly rave, like if you land one on an airborn opponant does the whole thing connect, of does it stop, normal geese not the stupid version.

And also can you do down lpx3 standing lp, (HP DP) with Mr big

Cheers

Oh yeah does geese raising storm have any invincabilty? or is it like his shitty awful 96 version, i know the animation is different

Oh sorry one more thing, what is geeses jumping HP? especially from small jumps, is it his multiple puch from 96 or has that gone, many thanks

I’m pretty sure I saw dash command normal in an older test vid, so I think they just removed the infinites/dizzies from it, which is what should have been done.

It really feels like SNK tried to use the same philosophy with UM that Sirlin did with STHD.

Just got back from the loc test. Had to leave early 'cause I have stuff to do tonight.

Disclaimer before I post: I’m not tourny caliber player, I didn’t win a single set at the test. I did however managed to get a double KO in the 5th, and I might of won the set had not thrown out a random super like a douche.

Impressions from the test:

  1. Still has that classic KoF98 feel.

  2. Cool Stages

  3. The Extra power bar is actually usable. I typically used a custom ultimate of run/roll/charge a la KoF 96 an could get pretty close to victory with them.

  4. Dodge is also quite useful. Some guys managed to generate a long win streak using run/dodge/stock using the boss team

  5. It really sucked that they didn’t finish set up the machine until 1.

People were recording with their cameras so I’d expect some uploads on youtube sometime soon.

I saw a 96 Geese swept out of ranging storm. Not sure about EX Geese, though.

Fireball glitch still exists.

Oh well, I know I won’t care about this then.

Christ, is it really that big a fucking deal?

He’s not going to play another 2d KOF unless its bug free.
