The NEOGEO Battle Coliseum Mega-thread

They changed Shiki too much.

Can she still link close C with her command grab? Does she even have it anymore?

Also does she still have that 5 hit move from SvC where you press f+b,b,b,b,b (or a)?

She still has her command grab, she does not have her 5 hit chain anymore…grrr

soo…what is the command grab? hcb+d doesnt seem to be it.

It’s HCB,F+D now.

Beezle: Does Mr. Big’s f+C have any uses? It looks like it could be a poke but it’s kinda slow.

Movie of the unlockable playable characters (King Lion, Mizuchi, Neo-Dio…).

Also, the official site has a pdf of the TGS pamphlet and a TGS movie. KOFXI site was updated also.

CYBER WOOOOOOOO!

So fun. Racked up 10 wins with him and Terry yesterday. Anyone have any strats for the big iron monkey?

I played him last night too. Is there any normal worth using other than s.A and c.A?

Cr. C is an anti-air. Cr. D is like a long ranger poke(maybe?). use his shockwave move to stop projectile whores. His QCF+K move has autogaurd so abuse it.

Man King Lion’s sprite is BADASS in this game!:tup:
Just curious is Mudman broken or something?

No he’s like…middle-tier or something.

Well have you seen that Mudman+Kim vs. Chonshu+A. Kaede?
That Mudman user did the knee-drop attack like 20 times & Kaede BARELY managed to tag-out with like 10% of his life left!
Not only that he cornered Chonshu & kept throwing projectiles like crazy!

OK sorry for asking this again (if I have already), but what’s a good combo for Asura?

Yeah, it’s only deadly if you crouch-guard sine it has overhead properties. The projectiles ARE a bitch though.

you failed to notice the kaede player was really really bad???

Yeah, he didn’t even try to use his blade catch or anything, let alone some form of anti-air. X3

actually he did try to anti-air a couple of times, but it looks like his anti-air was either

A) not invincible enough

or

B) hits at a weird place that won’t stop the knee drop.

so it got beat out everytime he tried it. He may have been able to do it with quicker timing

I have a couple of questions about this game.

  1. What’s the best FAQ/movelist for this game floating around? Oh, how I miss Kao Megura and his GODLIKE faq’s for every game that he did.

  2. What does it mean when you tag in a character, and their lifebar is flashing?

  3. What is your general opinion of Mr. Big? What characters do well against him, or fight him well? A lot of players at my arcade are complaining that mrbig is too easy/scrub friendly due to his jabs, and his low d links mixed in with throws, and that his lariat is just too damn good. is there anyone who has played the game in depth and can offer a second opinion?

big is good. ive mentioned a bunch in this thread alone that hes what i consider to be top tier. thing is i have less trouble fighting him that a good kim for example.

his crouching lows can be outpoked if you have someone good at poking. fb characters are good against his lariat, especially those who can rush in after their fb (robert and hotaru for example). he also doesnt fare well if you can keep the pressure on.

simple advice but it works, robert seems good against him.

if you can keep him at mid or long you will also do well as his options at that range are limited, hes gotta hit you with a c.HK to combo into the hcb+P diving attack so be sure to block the c.D all the time as its a big part of his game (c.D->hcb+A->move in on downed opponent).

practice blocking his j.C as the 2nd hit is deceptive and opens you up for good combo damage.

ive been playing heaps of tenka and my NBC skillz are a little rusty atm.

hrm yeah thats pretty much what i was spectulating, thanks… fb chars are generally good against mrbig since he has to get in to do damage, but fb’s arent good at midrange of course since mrbig can just lariat through it. id assume the best way to fight him up close is to find a move that can trade in their favor against mrbigs low a, but then by probably doing that, you open yourself up to a low d into crazyness if they try to beat the low a. but yah hes definetely top.

haven’t fought against a crazy kim yet.

btw you didn’t answer my question about the lifebar :stuck_out_tongue: and can anyone reccomend a good FAQ?

  1. DJ Tigresa did an FAQ on GameFAQs. http://db.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/file/neogeo_battle_coliseum_a.txt

  2. That’s after a Double Assualt, the secondary character gets a “Hyper Charge” meaning thier attacks do more damage while thier lifebar is flashing.

how does moriya rape, other than his low B’s being good and jump B being good crossup?
