…considering we’ve seen 98 since…1998 and we’ve seen 98 UM for…3 months? guys are quick to dismiss…
Same here!
Krauser is a huge example of cheapness!
Lucky us in So Cali have Arcade Infinity, ever since they got KOF98UM there, there is massive comp everyday :bgrin:
I don’t care about the new characters being “cheap” (being good, I’d say). I care about the arguably best character in '98 being even better now (while some characters like Ryo got inexplicably nerfed, apparently), lower damage, q. MAX, etc.
So I’m still not sure about this game. On one hand I like a wider top tier, and buffed low and mid tiers, but the other stuff I don’t like so much. It’s still pretty new, so I’d wait a year or so before considering it to be better than '98.

Ryo has a 100%, “nerfed” is a bit much?
really??? it cant be THAT bad!..can it?
or does krauser has uber priority on everything he does?
sorry I havent seen much of krauser on vids and Im still waiting for the game…tomorrow for sure ill test it
Yeah, and Chin has an infinite in '98.
Is it viable in a real match? And, does it compensate for his shittier normals? If not, then who cares. If yes, I don’t think that more 100% combos will make this game better than its predecessor.

Ryo’s death touch looks viable. Please believe, 98 UM will be played in tourneys, original 98 not so much.
It’s pretty pointless to make predictions before we see how the game really is.
From what I’ve seen, the game is more balanced. Krauser? IMO he is not as good or ‘cheap’ as OG98 Iori or OG98 Daimon. Iori’s infinite? Does small damage and is hard to keep up. I doubt anyone will ever see that infinite being done in a real match for more damage than the simple combo will do. OG98 Iori with his 2.5 combo stun and unblockable fireball setup -> 98UM Iori. The Choi combo? He can do that in OG98 anyway. You have to hit them in the air, in the corner, at a specific height, etc. It’s a combo video combo.
edit - if I was worrying about anyone, I would worry about Chizuru.

what predictions, im going based off match videos.
Mine should be at me tomorrow! I can’t wait!
hells yes! in one hour and a half ill be walkin down the street to pick up my copy of um, basara x, and sunsoft collection!
i have been waiting for UM for god knows how long!
I wont even get to touch mine until mid July…
I’m still believing that EX King, EX Geese, and Leona will be top tier, along with that cheapass Krauser.
I can’t wait to test out some dirty Leona. Also I want to see if chin got better with his new cancelable foward+a and this new walk all over people dm.
Leona, O.yash, Krauser for life (maybe some new brian, psyco crushaaaa)
Now if only I had someone to play. T_T

Is fwd+A cancellable by itself, or just after a normal, and is it cancellable after it’s blocked, I can see if it is a string of fwd+A into down, down+D, D working well.
I believe its only when canceled into… and I don’t know about the on block… but having that cancelable even as a string will be nice… though of course having it cancelable by itself would be even better.
anybody that uses heidern and not played the game good news, storm bringer can be comboed into from the first hit of his standing c up close, EVEN from a jump in so jumping C standing C stormbringer is legit, his standing D is no longer that great big spiining kick thing it’s just the same kick with no spin
Shingos qcb hcf p both dm and sdm connect of of his cancelable lp lks respectively
Rugals standing far c into super is very hit confirmable
standing far b can now be canceled into foward b, so something like down b b standing b foward b into super is now possible
A few new combos in the most recent vids: http://www.mncast.com/mini/miniFrame.asp?miniID=realraiz
EX King can do the launching kicks, tornado kick, trap shot, Q.Max, trap shot. Lucky can combo into his ‘throw’ dm when he lands a wheel kick in the corner.
