I’d also like to know about Geese.
kane_warhead, I’ll be returning to the PI this February, you wouldn’t happen to know of any new/good arcades in Angeles? I hit up the one in the mall and the cafes last year, but that was about it.
Angeles… Nope, don’t have news there unfortunately.
Saotome Kaneda- i havent heard from you in ages. Since like the early days of the srk kof 2k3 thread when we were talking about robert strats. anyways, nigga you best be repping with robert and drop some robert info. I cant play it yet…shit!!
Damn ive heard that you can DUCK asura fireball?? that sounds pretty shitty if you ask me. Also K’ is in this game and i havent heard a damn thing about him. IS he any good??
yeah crackshoot works as an anti air. its useful, more than burn knuckle id say… it combos as does burn knuckle… it prolly leaves you more prone if you whiff it but apart from that its prolly the better move. burn knuckle is better for getting across the screen and hitting long range though of course. his burn knuckle is relatively safe if used at the right range but prolly not quite as safe as in 2k2 for example.
yeah i played a terry player last night.
no rock players though.
geese is an absolute fiend and quite popular. his air fb is ok though only used to confuse as the angle makes it pretty easy to evade, he also recovers slowly from it make it impossible to use like akumas fireball (as a setup for high low rushdowns). in the corner though hes a fiend and like genjuro i dont really know what to do to get out of his trap. he does c.LK->fb/doublefb->c.lk->fb over and over… it doesnt combo of course but you cant jump/step out of it… he can also combo c.LK->fb->s.HP!! after that he can also combo a Double Assault for a 4+hit combo that does good damage both real and red bar as well as being a great way to keep you in the corner with the pressure on. his s.HK is fast and moves you forward, can be used to get back in after c.LKx2 or something like that. you can also cancel it halfway through into a fb, great way to keep the opponent on their toes. geese doesnt have much game at long or mid though and it can be hard for him to get in. best air attack is j.C which hits twice, has great priority/strenght and can be comboed into the c.LKx2->fb->s.HP combo.
Haha, it’s been a minute, huh? Yeah, still using 2k3 Robert, still snatching wins.
But, as you can see by my location, I’m one of the commoners again, I have no clue what’s happening in Japan outside of posts here and my two good friends still in Oki. =/ Shit’s sad.
i was at yodobashi just hanging out seeing what was new in the video games area when i noticed the mook in the magazine section. remembering i had 2000 yen in points on my card i grabbed the mook and will post some info from it (some to confirm other stuff should be new):
- neodio, mizuchi and kinglion are indeed playable and can be bought with a AW card.
mizuchi is 1000 points.
kinglion is 1500 points.
neodio is 2000 points.
points are gained as follows:
10 for starting a game.
5 for finishing the game.
10 for continuing.
10 for challenging.
5 for winning a vs game.
4 for winning perfect (yeah right).
1xnumber of wins in a vs session.

mr karates (cant remember the name of the game) hyper64 game super is qcf-hcb+K-f-uf-f-f-df-uf-uf-f(seems to finish off with his super fb)
-
special intros for:
-lee vs mrkarate+robert
-hao vs genjuro
-hao vs shiki
-shiki vs asura
-kaede vs moriya
-akari vs characters she thinks look intersting (eg shermie, etc) the mook mentions she might be checking out their tits 
-washizuka vs anyone with a sword
-washizuka vs any boss character
-hanzou vs fuuma
-fuuma vs kisarah
-fuuma vs female character
-mudman vs nako
-mudman vs cyber woo
-cyber woo vs ai+cyber woo
-mizuchi vs orochi connected characters
-goodman vs yuuki+ai
- special double assaults listed in the mook:
-change into atomic guy DA (gotta do memory card slash all three types first) must do with yuuki and teammate must be ai. he changes into atomic guy and can fight as him… it only lasts a short time and he has limited attacks but you can block any of them. it can also be cancelled out of with b-b motion.
-call in the aso2 ship DA (done by ai with yuuki as a teammate)
-kyo with kaede as a teammate
-iori with kyo as a teammate
-kaede with moriya as a teammate
-moriya with kaede as a teammate
there are others and all of the above require you to fulfill some criteria before doing them (for example in the iori+kyo as a partner one you must hit with ioris 8 cups super though not as part of the DA it would seem).
-
the bonus artwork in the back is really cool! there is a great pic of hao and one of hanzo.
-
i saw goodman today twice and the lion energy spirit thing that follows him around looks very cool, looks rendered or something. definitely couldnt be done on the old hardware.
haomaru strats:
-df+HK is a sliding kick… good for catching ppl off guard at closeish range.
-df/d+LK is a crouching sword pommel attack whilst db+LK is the fast light kicks (which combo and are better priority/frames than the df/d+LK attack)
-bnb combo j.HK->c.LKx2->dp+A/fbx2+P super
-on a character as they are waking up do the hcb+B/D from just outside close-mid range as its an unblockable attack (sorta like ricks qcb+A in rb2).
-good pressure combo (coz of the recovery on the special) is j.HK->db+Bx2/3->qcb+LP
-poke with s.B, has great range (his s.B from samsho)
-use his s.C alot from mid-long range as the damage is crazy and if you hit or they try to jump after blocking it once you can hit them again as they dont realize they can block or you catch them as they try to jump two hits will do big damage.
-his fb is pretty useless imo
-careful with his dp as it often only hits once leaving them standing and capable of hitting you after they take the hit plus its too slow to come out to be useful as a scrambling aa… gotta do it sorta as they jump not as they are landing ala fuuma or ioris dp.
-shutdown jumping opponents by jumping straight up with C.
lmfao.
SNK characters are fuckin’ perverts.
Still No Wan Fu…sieger…tam Tam…cham Cham…wtf!!!
Maybe you’re looking for the SS Tenka thread… Thatta way. >>>
Not that i’m hating…my only thing with alot of these companies…they forget some of their old school characters that are freaking awesome. I’m glad to see they got some world hero guys and finally homeboy from Metal Slug making an appearance but let’s not forget,for some of the older gamers out there, the characters that made us like their games. The Wan Fu’s, Tam Tam Jubei and a few others…that’s all maybe they need to make a game where they bring the older characters and revamp them and let them loose on this newer gen of characters…again i’m not hating…just my opinion.
Except none of those characters are popular.
For example. Check which characters are most played in NGBC. Kyo, Iori, Kim. Whats the most popular female character in SS? Nakoruru. What the least popular female character in SS? Cham-Cham. People in the US were happy when Eiji and Duck appeared in KOFXI. In Japan? Nobody gives a shit about them. Which SNK characters were at the top of the 2004 “most popular character” poll? Ash (which was number one - the most popular character in an arcade game) and Kusaregedo.
You didnt like it, but a whole lotta people did.
ok i feel what you’re saying ,but I know i’m not the only one, that would love to see some of the guys that we played when we were younger. Hey i would love to see the American team from the early KOF…I would love to see the bad ass bosses we faced in those games make a comeback…Hey i don’t know about you guys but Amakusa was a pain in the ass…i remember wasting mad loot trying to whoop that ass. heck even on the Capcom side…i was happy to see Eagle make a comeback but it would’ve been kool to see the first boxer in SF1…i think his name was mike if i’m not mistaken or heck the ninja…sorry i can’t remember names. I’m looking forward to playin the new games but i just whish some of these companies would ever so often rehash an old character to compete with the new…
Reki, it is Reki, dood…and yea. It is sick.
Proof that many people have shitty opinions.
Lee, Mudman, Woo, Kisarah, Hanzo and Fuuma fit your idea of “old characters” to a “t”. So… why are you complaining?
I would love to see Amakusa, John Crawley and Jack back. But you know what? I love Lee, Shermie, Rock, Akari, the Jins, Tung and Moriya. Im happy theyre in the game. Im also looking forward to play with Hanzo, Kisarah, Fuuma, Marco, Neo-Dio, King Leo, Athena and Asura. Thats a lot of characters i want to play with. So why would i complain about Jack, John and Amakusa missing?
It happens in every game. King, for example. Shes my favorite character in any game, period. And she wasnt in KOF2002 MVS/AES. But you know what? I didnt bat an eye, because they had Vice and Shermie added.
The truth is that there are much more people interested in Kyo, Iori, K, Mai, Kaede, Kim, Haohmaru, Genjuro, Karate and Robert than in secondary characters. NGBC would flop hard if the game was dominated by characters like Lee, Tung, Woo, Kisarah, Mudman and so on.
Be happy they even bothered adding those. I am.
They would say the same about yours. You would whine saying theyre wrong here, they would whine and say the same there.
And guess what? None of you would be right.
Then me and the Japanese fans’ll settle it on the streets.
TLK or no, my cash is on the JPN masses. =x
I think Mike is basically the same as Barlog/M.Bison so there is no need for him to come back, the fool never went anywhere. The ninja name is Geki I think and I agree with you he should make a comeback.
The game’s roster to me is more satisfying than SvC: Chaos, CFJ and Capcom’s side on CvS2. It has a good variety, hopefully the game will get enough love to ensure a sequel with a few more favorites.
BET IT!!!
