Mr. Karate sounds great, but I wonder about his moveset … I hope it will be a lot different from Ryo, so I got two full versions of him.^^
It will be natural and expected for EX versions of characters to share some moves, but I’m pretty sure they will be different enough. (Like in KOF 98)
I thought Mr.Karate was takuma? or are they both, Im not talking about this game I mean in cannon.
Takuma was the original Mr. Karate and was the end boss (after Mr. Big) of Art of Fighting 1.
He is also Ryo and Yuri’s father. They didn’t know this while facing this crazy strong karate fighter in the game.
In time all was revealed, and since then Ryo has appeared twice as Mr. Karate in 3 games, Fatal Fury:Wild Ambition, Buriki One, NGBC, and mentioned in Garou: MOTW.
SNK gave fans enough credit for them to assume Ryo has succeeded Kyokugen and finally become a true master, thus inheriting his father/master’s throne as Mr. Karate. This isn’t happened in present canon yet but will.
Takuma has always held back as a fighter for fear of not using too much fatal power. But when he put on the mask, these thoughts left him and he was consumed by the need to release his power/strength.
Ryo never holds back and always tries his very best, so who knows what will happen when he wears his father’s tengu mask. (This is Ryo’s first time ingame with the mask)
Also to note, Ryo has the most evolvement as a character than any other Karate characters. He became the very end boss of his debut game, and that’s as original as it gets.
The question is… will the ryo version use moves and invisible chi attacks like Mr.Karate ver in SNK vs Capcom choas?
whoa richard myer is playable?
how to unlock this dude?
well I had a quick go and… well you can still hit a person multiple times on the floor, which is still dumb and counter/parry is one button like dead or alive which is easy as hell to pull off.
So far I would say its better than MI1 but then it should be, the last boss belongs in a castlevania game or something.
Story mode is quite good, note you need to know jap, thats all I can say so far, as far as I know you unlock characters by finishing story mode with certain characters, like I finshed with terry and unlocked kim.
I want GEESE lol, im guessing rock or billy will unlock him.
Im going to give it some more goes and see if theirs anything else I can add.
can you still launch from the floor?
So, is this game looking any good then?
When does MI2 come out here? I can’t wait.
Yes you can just tested it out for your with K dash, same old shit from the other one flame dragon punch still hits if on ground :sad:
Been trying some old iori tricks from the 1st game, they still work, the timing is hardly needed, still sloppy.
You can activate orochi mode with iori which takes 2bars of your max this last about 20secs
If by that you mean the character models then yes they look better, also the backgrounds are pretty dam good each one has a day and night version from what I can see.
I cant fault this game on prestation its really got that part down well, you can still do crazy shit though.
Can you not tech roll so that you don’t get smacked on the ground?
^^
yes you can
hey bill have you unlocked anyone yet or have any idea on how to unlock the secrets…
as for challenge mode i can’t read a lick of japanese so i only tried the survival
Can you tech roll after a sweep?
I unlocked Kim and Richard by finishing story mode each time, Im guessing for some characters you might well have to beat challenge mode.
Also it doesnt matter who you finish game with it seems as long as you do and it unlocks someone else.
beating the game also unlocks BGM and new stages etc.
that last boss just pissed me off just now, he can can grab you in the air and do too much shit.
god I just wanna play as GEESE lol, ive had enough for 2day time to sleep.
id like to add the game slowly grew on me even though its lacking, its not hardcore but you can have some fun on it.
well its a filler for me untill the real kof shows up XI.
Edit @ Circular
Yes I think I did that by mistake once(lol this game is quite fast roll, tech roll one quick flash), so I will double check I cant see it being something you use though, you might as well use side step and you can counter/parry high and low L2.
I only ask about the tech rolling because my recollection is that the only reliable way to get a big OTG combo in MI1 was to sweep, since you couldn’t tech roll after a sweep. If you can tech roll after a sweep then even if OTG combos are possible they’ll probably be less of a factor.
The boss is the gayest fucking thing I’ve ever seen, and the CPU is driving me nuts with the parry. But I’m enjoying myself.
They just should’ve kept Duke as the boss at leastt he looked cooler than Jivatma
Anyone, who has the game and can tell me something about the Terry and Wild Wolf differences in their Movelist?^^
