I think the actual moves themselves are timeless…although he could use some new oddity moves like his dp+K swipe in '98. It’s just the overall style of play in '98 that is fair but also rather busted if you get hit more than a couple times that I dislike a little, despite him being on my main team.
But in KOFXI Iori is not good…
Wise words sir. I know at FRXI kof98um WILL NOT BE A FUCKING BOSS BATTLE BROKEN TOURNAMENT! I will cancel that shit before I let some broken shit allowed in FRXI.
Let me put it like this so ya’ll can understand.
If orochi plays like I think he will play he is banned for free. If your pissed that he might be ban then oh well. You SNK heads have a chance at FRXI to make the overall Best KOF game a major tournament game in the fighting game scene. All you have to do is play the game the way it’s suppose to be played in tournament play. Everyone knows that the bosses are put in the console version just as extra little goodies for the snk fans. They aren’t suppose to be played in tournaments.
I haven’t gotten an answer to this yet. How is 98 going to be played if UM is not out by FRXI?
I’m working on upping my 98 game as well. I want to surprise some people.
We have options…I have a modded xbox with perfect Converters that runs 98 PERFECT…
Thats an option…but I’m waiting to buy my ticket to Mexico waiting on that damn 98 UM…
modded Xbox with the emu on it. That will be the best solution if kof98um isn’t out before FRXI. I heard kof98um is suppose to be out next month.
I’ll have plenty extra perfect converters if need by then…I’m stocking up on them now…
He’s not the only one who has it though.
Yuri has it too this time!!!
The only game that I recall Iori NOT having the back dash glitch is NGBC…
Yeah, I’m anxious for 98 UM to come out soon. Been playing the shit out of my 98 ROM on my MAME emulator and spamming both versions of Rugal.
And 95, 96…
SNK seriously needs to release an XBLA version of this game.
dg every time you make a post longer than a paragraph please just write it in word, run grammar and spelling check and then dump it into the post field
it will save us all a lot of grief from your functional illiteracy
An XBLA version would be incredibly fun, but I can’t see a way SNK would want to do that.
Maybe a scaled down version for online play, but that’s about it. Also gotta remember the size limit.
One of the interesting things is how well the online players will do in 98 and RB2 compared to the offline players. If perfect practice makes perfect, what does imperfect practice do? Also curious to see what the Triad does in that, who they’ll rep.
I’m leaning towards a runaway team right now.
Right… I totally forgot about those two games. I haven’t touched those two KOF games in ages…
A finalized version of this game was recently shown at an event in Hong Kong.
Still no release date, tho…
No definite release date, but they are promising “2008” very prominently now (see the official site, for instance). I personally can’t wait; '98 isn’t even close to my favorite (the artwork has a bit to do with it; it looks great at poster quality, but it wasn’t translated to Neo-Geo very well for '98 in my humble opinion), but it’s certainly one of the more solid KOF’s.
They need to do an american release a month after the nihon release (not the usual 8 months to 2 years), then a month later honor your request…then 1-3 months later a psp release. I love kof98 so much I see no problem with buying 2 versions: home and portable. As long as it’s the usual 19.99 for all versions.
i guess the delays had something to do with the fact that its coming to arcade now. still, i don’t trust the changes and this will probably end up like neowave.
And this is why you are banned fool…
Have fun…and try not to troll when you return…you’ll stay longer…
