The NEOGEO Battle Coliseum Mega-thread

so how is the game holding up? are less people playing it now?

well its not that popular, dont really know why… its more popular than neowave but i dont think its gonna compare to kof xi.

unfortunate considering its such a well put together and fun game.

beelze, does the mook only have a few of the Secret Double Assaults? The scans below dont have Hanzo/Fuuma, Rock/Terry and so on…

Scans from the mook (endings, special double assaults, pre-post boss intros, etc):

Wow.

Did K’ lose his air fireball, or are people just not using it?

Hotaru looks really good, and Yuki actually looks really fun to play as well.

Marco has a sick runaway game.

It looks a little boring from the videos, but I’m betting it’s probably more fun to play than watch (sound would also help). Why does Genjuro STILL have his unblockable? ;(

yeah the mook doesnt show them all.

k still has his air fb.

bubble : i’m being sarcastic :stuck_out_tongue:

shit slipped under my sarcasm radar :karate:

Anyone know a website where I could buy the board? Thanx.

-See Ya!!!

you’re gonna buy it? holy shit if u do, hold tournies/getogethers… www.coinopexpress.com unless anyone else has a better site since i know of no others

thanks to KAZUKI DASH over at neogeo.com for the info!

…I’m so fucking there.

Beelze, how does Shermie play? Or have you at least seen people who did select her?

Edit-time_stop, I meant to PM, but I can’t for some reason. Any other way for me to reach you?

ive never used her. she gets used a little actually… there is this one female player, her card name is rai, shes not that good i usually beat her who uses shermie. shes pretty good with her. shermie players all seem to use a combo that goes something like c.LK->f+LK(2hits)->fbx2+KICK. does decent damage and all youve gotta do is hit with the first LK. her throws are pretty strong, the dash one is super fast and is easy to catch ppl off guard with. overall shes not very popular though.

got beasted by GUEST who is no.4 on the top ten awnet rankings tonight…

I ordered it form excellentcom.net, cost me over $1080 USD inc PayPal fees and EMS shipping to UK - worth every penny tho, I am really really enjoying this game !
characters, I’m using everyone as much as I can, maily Robert Iori Ryo Genjuro Hanzo Fuuma & Haohmaru.

Thanks beelze. :tup:

would you agree its the best robert ever??

i like c.LPx2->b+A->qcb+D :slight_smile:

thats a toughy, at first when I hooked up the a/wave and picked him, I would have said no, I hated KOF99 robert with his charge moves etc, I prefer my QCF’s and such, I was also very shocked when i saw him switching stances, but after using him and Ryo alot I am starting to like this incarnation of Robert more than the 2k3 incarnation (and I really like 2k3 :amazed: besides what many say) he certainly is one of the characters I’m mainly using.

I’m also enjoying using Fuuma and Hanzo - nice to see these 2 chaps again

They should have replaced Terry with Andy. I’m not seeing much Terry love in this game right now along with a few others… but I really like Andy >.<

The vids look cool. I don’t have any reputable arcades near me, but this game looks good for comp. Kim, Mr. Big and the Sam Sho/Last Blade characters look like they were beasting with the rush down.

I hope this comes to one of the next-gen systems. Perhaps they can fool around with the filter like they did for the KOF 94 anniversary edition, so the sprite are a little cleaner.
