Didn’t read this until just now but… Thats what happens when you activate max! Its sorta like 2k2 it cancels what you were doing giving you time to try and combo afterwards. Unless you knew that already… ahha.
I don’t see any animation being cancelled so…?
I don’t think it’s like 2k2.
It was listed somewhere that, that is what happens when you enter max mode… I remember reading it. But I could be mistaken I suppose.
Fuck dat shit!
I don’t want my '98 playing like 2002! :arazz:
Any word on Rugal…
I don’t expect him to be Top Tier, but is he in the same Tier list as in 98? or is he mid Tier like in CvS2 or upper Mid as in CvS Pro…
But on a different note…
after watching Krauser on the vids, I seriously doubt he’ll stay on Top for long. He’s IMO no Daimon in the old 98 and especially nowhere near the Level of Dominance Sagat has in CvS2…
True Karuser I’m sure will be good, but he’s still a Poor Man’s KOF UM version of CvS2 Sagat (a little slower, dishes less damage, and much less combos)
-Far Stand B is bufferable
-Far Stand C is bufferable
-Crouching D comes out faster
-Kaiser Wave seems to charge up to level 2 / 3 faster, and seems to have less recovery… I also thought it looked like the level 1 came out faster too but I’m probably wrong
-Genocide Cutter actually has priority now, maybe? That one Rugal-Lucky-Kensou player was hitting people with it a lot so I guess it’s good now
-Guard Cancel Counter is no longer his standing CD animation, but close standing C. This is good, more horizontal range on it
-DEAD END SCREAMER (aka the “worthless flex super”) IS FUCKING FAST NOW. HOLY SHIT. It’ll still be escapable by jumping when you see the super flash, but it has actual legitimate use now for countering fireballs/laggy ground moves. This is so awesome, even if nobody else appreciates it as much as I do.
So all in all, he’s improved big time. Don’t know how good he’ll be in the long run, but I think it’s safe to say he’s not going to be near the bottom just yet.
Thanks one last question about Rugal,
does the B version Genocide cutter also Anti-air now? the old 98 had this wierd property in which
B version, sideways and downwards (anti-sweep)
D version, sideways and upwards (anti-air)
so does the D version also anti-sweep? (although it really won’t be much)
I Guess he’ll be as good as CvS2 Rugal but nowhere near CvS Pro Rugal (The actual Good Rugals that aren’t cheap like in 95 and Omega 98)…
Geese questions…
Is EX Geese Playable, and if so is he defeatable (meaning NOT broken) because if he’s anywhere near RB2, then he’s as Ban-worthy as Omega Rugal 98 used by a human (maybe more).
KRAUSER QUESTIONS
Is his Unlimited Desire as Damaging as Geese’s Deadly Rave?? in RB he has several endings to that move.
EX Terry Question, can the Rising Tackle still combo from the Firekick?
So far EX Geese is normal character. And in RB2 he is not ban worthy, IIRC he isn`t even top tier. Unless you are thinking about another game.
Sorry my bad, I was thinking real bout special… sorry
just thought u guys would like to know the ps2 port finally
got a release date=june 26th!
yeeeyayyyyeeee!:looney:
eric, wheres the source? so we dont get confused again lol
man this is the only reason im keeping my ps2 handy im waiting for this foreva, June cant come sooner:looney: thats 3 onths away i wish they did it like they did with maximum impact regulation a release right after the arcade release:woot:
Well that means 98UM wont be at MWC… =(…but it will be at EVO WORLD!!!
:lovin:
Gotta start checking play-asia daily again now. :tup:
Well, I do know that the Weekly Famitsu thread on 2Ch has already been circulating this tidbit, which includes both that KOF98:UM and SBX are due for PS2 release on 6/26.
Good stuff, I say. Hopefully I’ll have enough money for both.
Yep I’m definitely getting it…oh so def getting it…hold up…will it be the english version of import?
^Import.:rolleyes:
That would be my luck. The one kof game that really fuckin’ matters (:rolleyes: at XI and 2k3), and in some weird fluke of choice they’ll probably decide never to release it here.
