The King of Fighters: NeoWave Thread!

I know O. Yashiro is better in NW than in 2k2 thats a fact…

O. Yashiro is Tier A, the tier next to A…but against S Class he has a hard time…

After looking further into the tiers yesterday I do agree with this but Jhun is high A.
S class is Choi, Saisyu and Geese respectively

I totally forgot about Geese’s jumping kicks and how good they are. I will admit that Jhun is actually good but not good enough to be in S.

Edit

This going from GB and M2 modes. Choi is ugly in M2 and very nice in GB.
Saisyu can play all modes well. IMO the best modes to choose from are M2 and GB

Yeah and Geese is ugly is SC mode…GC and MAX2 hinder him IMO bc he has less access to Deadly Rave…SC Mode gives him 3 from the getgo.

Well Jhun info is there, but I couldn’t find much of it. I still figured out some useful stuff, and got a chance to play a really good Jhun player yesterday.

But I’ve got a question, how do you punish the rollers?
I’ll sweep some guy and then try to pressure them as they get up with a/ D, a/ forward+B, b/ U+C, or b/ C, but the wakeup roll to throw or combo wins everytime.

I know I could leave stance and throw them out of the roll, but since the small delay after leaving stance leaves you open for a sec, is there a way to punish it in stance?

It also possible I just have crappy timing, but I dunno.

Also, to contribute, I found a cool trick with Mai that seems to get most people the first time you try it.
Sweep them in the corner, or get them to stay there with a fan or something, triangle jump off their side of the wall off the screen, and attack them with down+D. You come down parallel to the wall and it catches people off guard. But yeah, it only works once :stuck_out_tongue:

M2 always refills so he will always get a chance to have meter. SC mode is mainly used for big nice combos which is why you have 3 meters. Andy in SC mode:tup:

Yeah Andy in SC which is why he is Rank A…SC Andy is a beast…straight 2k2 tricks…

*For Andy SC stuff see the 2k2 section of that old Orochinagi site I gave Rave for all Andys SC tricks of the trade…bc they work in NeoWave

Hmmm not too much Jhun stuff at that site Rave?

Well let me search for you…

Geese builds meter rather quickly so you can constantly have super with Geese in
SC mode…thats how I play him and Deadly Rave is a CONSTANT threat to the enemy…they fear it… Plus I have the roll in SC mode so I break it down like this:
SC Mode Geese=Too good

-Has 3 supers from getgo-supreme Deadly Rave punishment, if not HH CD to punish their weak jumping attempts or other things I have already listed.
-Doesnt have cancels but doesnt need any…
-Rushdown Geese builds super SUPER FAST…so those 3 supers you have and are using at your leisure will replenish themselves…creating a constant threat for the enemy…making Geese an easy OCV character in the right hands that takes the air totally away from your opponent if used correctly.

So HH all day Saisyu, I expect it and if you get into patterns you’re DEAD…Unless you are Choi or Leona or a select few Hyperhopping(jumping is even worse) like crazy against a Master Geese is BAD BAD BAD…:rofl:

And off that if you stay on the ground I will trap you with mixups forcing you to attack while my meter builds or catch you slipping with Raging Stormxxjuggle with C ReppukenxxHeat Mode Deadly Rave in corner=100% COMBO yes I said it(but I didnt say the full 100% combo hehehe)… or a crossup into Deadly Rave combo.

With Geese I can force you to turtle or take out your team in seconds…

-He has roll…see the SBO people play Geese they roll forward and backwards…good stuff with Geese to bait DR and do slide with him since his slide is damn near 100% safe (it aint 100%) from a distance
-Without giving away all my tricks you can for starts get into mixups with Geese with St.Dxxreppuken or St. Dxxslide…I aint saying anymore…

And heaven forbid if you try to whore rolling against Geese non-strategically…the back part of DR will hit you when you roll. True invincibility!!! Evil Laugh!!

And run for their lives…

Heres a crosslink to Guardcrush.net where I posted Jhun stuff galore…

Have fun!!!:lovin:

where would you puut Kensou?
just wondering

Damn I did forget to put Kensou in there didnt I?? Dammit…

I’d put Kensou in B class-mid-tier.

Anything good for Joe Higashi? Besides the usual “Close C/D, forward+B, special move of choice”

One combo I like is Anti-Air qcb+K, qcf, uf+K. Though its random as hell on whether it connects or not.

Shingo on Sc mode is a beast. Geese can vouch. And god forbid you have someone in the corner, can you say rape out the ass?

Oh yeah SC Shingo is a beast…Joes got a nice 90% combo.three bars though…

St. Cxxslide rapidly cancel to rapid punches end like 4th hit with qcf+CxxHSDM Tornado.

Joe has a tough 100% combo based off that dp+Dxxqcb+b loop in the corner.

Why do people sleep on Mai on Max2 mode? I basically Bitchslap them with her Shiranui Fox Tail HSDM. On top of the fact that she flashes them with her ass after each it, the damage is crazy.

Yeah its probably due to inexposure…but thats their fault for taking her for granted.

Im glad they made it in NGBC a Level 2 almost…(almost the same super except no ass flashing)

Shes more versatile in NGBC and does more damage faster…hence a higher class ranking.

Follow up…

Okay lets revive this thread shall we? How is everyone doing in the NeoWave quest/playing? Doing good so far???

And I know this may have been covered…but in MAX2 mode everything does more damage…

EVERYTHING…so if you think a little and put MAX2 mode and Heat mode together=SICK DAMAGE.

Also in case many of you are backtracking old school 2k2 vids…know that many combos done on Chris aplly to Chris and other people like Chang because they are a little meater on their backs while backturned…

Guys we gotta keep the people playing this game playing it even when XI hits…well I just thought about it…the only people that’ll be playing it is when/if they have a modded PS2…if not this will be the game you guys will be playing still…

On reason many said this game died out is bc to 2k2 gurus it is basically a modified version of 2k2 so there aint too much to discover unless you really try hard to think outside the box etc…but you could go for trying to learn how to JD everything 3s style/Garou style…thats what I do etc…

without Record (and thats tough believe me):annoy:

And I pose a challenge to everyone once they feel they’ve mastered the game-

Master these characters: Jhun, May Lee, Angel…and use them as your new team…

I’ve come to terms with the S. Canceling of Robert and Terry.

Robbie’ s S. Cancel out of his qcfx2 b/d is quite damaging if you cancel into say… a ryuko ranbu?

Same for terry. High Angle to Powah! Heat mode? Forget expecting to live.

i recommend this very large archive of japanese Neowave vids

http://kingoffighters.planets.gamespy.com/video/carol.shtml

very good matches in here, but as you all know about fileplanet…

Yep the old but good Carol vids…I went through those quite a time…good stuff indeed…even though Ive seen them they are worthy of a second look…

And worthy of a first for many of you by far make no mistake about it…see this S Class domination…

My God the more I watch Kim Kaphwan the more it makes me sick…wth the exception of NGBC everyone that plays Kim in like every KOF game plays him EXACTLY THE SAME…cookie cutter whoring HH C to crossover 2k2 combo…geez…yawn…same shit over and over…be it XI or NW…:confused: :looney:

JD Exhibition Vids?

Double post- Has anyone started to make some JD exhibition vids yet or am I ahead of the game???

I mean to be funny all you gotta do to get some JD knowledge is play the CPU on level 8 and have the CPU use Guardbreak groove…they will JD like a madman believe me…hahaa…

Damn Right. Especially on STAGE FUCKING 4! How dare they JD the Genei Kyaku. BULL SHIT!

Hahaha…yeah I see someone else sees the CPU’s Daigo-esque reactionary time…lol.
If Chun’s SA2 was in this game I’d bet MONEY the CPU would Parry it ALL EVERYTIME!!!

LOL Now hows that for inspiration!!!
