Just get a JPN PS2. I got a silver one online brand new for $120. Far too many good fighters were out that I simply couldn’t ignore it anymore. Swap Disc doesn’t work on some of them, and some of the US versions have problems like NGBC slow down, etc.
US version is supposed to come out later this year. Check the SNKP interview on GameSpot.com
I’m so looking forward to play this game.
The only thing more hype than this game would be KOF XII.
Okay guys I am having a discussion in my SNK Storm thread about the rules we should implement for this game for the console tournament…since the game comes out June 26th and EVO World is August 10th, that really isnt enough time for me to test out everything to see who’s bannable and who’s not etc…thus…
Should we allow every character to be playable in the first Major KOF98UM Console tournament at EVO World???
Discuss,
And thanks…

The only rules for UM should be no console characters (if O. Iori, O. Leona, boss Rugal, Goenitz and Orochi are playable in the ps2 version) IMO.
But all of them are playable in the Arcade version from what I hear.
Well I have swap magic 3.8 and they work for EVERY fighting game I have except TRF (The Rumble Fish :sad:).
SBX and KOF: 98UM I will have and I will attempt to pwn the noobs.

If its the case, why banning them?
Yeah Jimmy…if thats the case no need to ban them.
Source?
I’ll have to link you to it at Orochinagi…
why ban them is they are proven to not be broken? kryst almighty, i know i wanna play Goenitz in a non broken/playable form in a proper KOF game
This.
Besides, how the hell are people going to ban shit in a game that has not even been released. We don’t even have the console version yet and people are already discussing tiers.
Relax.
The game is released already. (arcade version), so i dont see how that argument really flies. its not like people arent playing this game as we speak.
just check what the major arcade tourneys are doing for 98um (korea, places in China, SBO etc etc, anyone that is doing a MAJOR 98um tourney) and then go with the standard ruleset.
now if it was straight to console then…different story…but theres a arcade ver to fall back on
is it confirmed that Orochi Leona, Orochi Iori, Goenitz, and Orochi are time released or unlockable characters or whatnot?
We dont know…I’m checking everything I can daily to find out…
And Art’s right…the moment I find out some Arcade rules I’m going by them…but I havent found any yet…
:sad:
Patience is the key…
I think
Yay import! Of course it would be import to be released first what was I thinking lol. Well I’ll just wait for the US Release cuz I ain’t spending no money to get another PS2…I’m saving up to get a PS3:rofl:

I told ya…
well, i dont see why we hafta be hardline in banning said characters if they are very playable. yeah we know we that the “lets stay true to the arcade” but lets be reasonable, this is the US and this is a KOF game. Where, aside from a few places, can the mass majority play this game right now? I would need to LEAVE THE COUNTRY to go to the closest arcade where KOF 98UM is located.
