The King of Fighters: NeoWave Thread!

So like do people still play this game? It would have been nice if there was a tournament for it at GameFrog. I happen to actually like this KOF a lot. I like all the dream match KOF games. KOFXI is cool too but I still need to learn how to do combos and stuff.

Hey we can play this when I come up to North Carolina for some NGBC…or at a major or something.

I will try to record some matches or an exhibition of it this Friday…

We won’t sink guys I assure you…

This time I will play with Chris (regular), O.Shermie, and May Lee…

and some Angel while I’m at it…and Takuma and some more…

Um… message me or something. We usually get a van for FR and we’re thinking about renting a car. Do I know you at all. We just had a gathering about 30 min from you in asheville. Post up in the NC thread.

Sweetness…

Sie do you play NeoWave at all???

Spooty Head on up to FR or NEC…because I am shooting to be at both…and the money is looking good right now for me to be in Philly on Dec 2nd-3rd and in Georgia in March.

Bumpx2- An official bump to this thread…

Why you ask??

With an impeding Final Round X King of Fighters NeoWave US tourney, its time this thread sees the light of day.

Another DG Geese tidbit-

Full Screen Kara-Deadly Rave post C Reppuken Hit-confirm trick-

After a Knockdown of some sorts where they cant get up etc or whatever, Throw a C Reppuken then do Far St. D and if the C reppuken hits Kara-Cancel into Deadly Rave, it will travel full screen and connect!!

Dont let the Far St. D hit though…karacancel it and yes its range is great so use this also if you sense them flinch after blocking a C Reppuken!!!

You Neo Wave players out there better make it out to Final Round X!!!

Time to get off the “Box” and make the trip to support your game! Show your skills in Atlanta, Georgia!!!

EDIT: Rogueyoshi where are you??? I also think Geeses just forward+b is an underused move because it hits twice and if you use his Far St. D and CD attack A lot many will start thinking your attacks come in sets of ones…just using forward+b by itself is a good thing to use every now and then also!

DevilJin are you gonna enter the NW tourney at FRX???

Yoshi I got something cooked up too- A new ***Geese NW GuardCrush Corner Trap *** and 3-4 new practical Geese combos that are pretty good as well!!!

Edit II: Since I see this game is like NGBC used to be before NEC7 lol Lilman and rogueyoshi lets show the crowd on camera how this game is meant to be played!!! :tup:

oh lord ill try but on ps2 its going to be a little bit of a chore. Those controls are terrible. But i still be pulling out Iori’s Scum Gale loops and Sayisu goodness.

Saisyu is very very easy to play as hence meaning controls wont matter AS MUCH hahaha.

This is a cool thread. I’m glad it got bumped, because my atomiswave cart is coming this next week and i’m going to be having fun trying some of this stuff out.

Well seeing you are in Washington Vega know any other NW players at all? I am trying to gather up whatever NW players there are!!

Are there any forums or faqs I could check out on how to play this game? Might pick it up and was thinking of learning Leona.

try either the old orochinagi for 2k2 leona, or the srk wiki for 2k2 leona. nothing is different except her combos. she does extremely good damage, and is best used first due to her meter consumption.

bnb: close D(1 hit), rdp+k, close D, f/b+B, dm. 2 meters

You’d be better off learning 2k2 basics first…or all you gotta do is ask…you could for starts check www.gamefaqs.com and check the NeoWave section to get a lowdown of the special moves, the grooves and beginner stuff like that.

The wiki he listed above is a good link also. Matter of fact start there good idea.

When you are truly ready to learn Leona let me know I will teach you pretty much all she’s got.

And yes Rogueyoshi is right, the last part being her V-Slasher aerial DM you must use in that combo.

Shes also got a nice corner trap I can teach you.

Rogue:cool, thanks for the tip. never got the hang of doing combos for kof, guess it’s time to learn how to.

DG: thanks DG. I’ll check that out. Haven’t gotten the game yet, but I might have a copy of 2k2 lying around the house so I can practice some of that stuff on.

Thanks for the help guys.

Well glad I could help, if you have any questions feel free to ask, for this game shall see the light of day very soon make no mistake about it!!

Sorry if this is unrelated to neowave, but how different is '98 for the dreamcast to neowave?

Very very different…like apples and oranges…I can’t even begin to draw the differences or similarities.

Sounds 2 me like you are just starting out your SNK KOF path…I present to you my thread “At The Eye of The Ragin’ Storm”

Where I can certainly help you grasp the SNK basics as well as everyone else in the thread.

The Neowave thread it back?! My Chris is godlike!!:rofl: :rofl: j/k

Who else still plays this besides DG.

Rogueyoshi plays it, you do lol, DevilJin 01 does (saw him at FRX), BBHood01 does, Arturo does, and don’t worry we will get more to play it lol.

random question… in the PS2 version after you beat Geese, do you get to have free time on him while the credits go by?

I own the arcade version, and was just curious if this was an arcade only thing. I’m guessing you can do that in the PS2 also.
