The NEOGEO Battle Coliseum Mega-thread

Is it just me or does Asura look uglier in the PS2 port? Could be the colour edit though damn Ugly…

Asura…;_; I was hoping he’d be stronger, but oh well.
Speaking of which how is King Lion/Shishioh in this game? I saw the boss vid & after seeing how he plays I went…“O_O MY MAIN!”

Asura is good from long range, if your character doesn’t have a reflector or an arieal move you’re pretty fucked against his arrows and lance thingys. Shin King Lion is a beast, regular King Lion is pretty good too as his super does retarded damage and he does good damage himself.

Ok you snk freaks time to shit yourself a bootleg copy is out!!!

Grabbed a copy a few hrs ago and I can’t really say how diff. it is from the arc version since I spent about… 20mins in total for both haha.

are characters already unlocked like garou?
is their really a 4player mode option?

holy mother of god i am downloading it now.

fucking elite. can’t wait to get this into my friend’s hands so we can fucking play!!!

I’ll be importing this in a week or two as soon as I get my ps2 modded.

How are the load times? If it has PS2-SS0-style loads, I might think twice.

…seriously.

Rizer, gimme a sec. I just woke up so I’ll answer your Q’s in a bit haha. Btw, cd version out too for those lazy ppl.

edit - Quiche the load times aren’t that bad, it could’ve been alot worse.
Rizer, as for characters I’m not exactly sure who and who shouldn’t be there, but there’s an extra slot on the left and right side. I’ll take a pic and ul it.

Same w/the modes and stuff.

zomg are you actually downloading it? If so can you pm me a source? Me and a friend have been dying for this game but I haven’t been able to locate a source.

Quiche, I take it back. The loading times are annoying. After you pick order, there’s about 10-15secs till you start and if you’re playing arc/story mode, you get another 5-10 everytime you take out a character…

Thanks for the PM Yellow, I can’t believe I didn’t think to check mininova.
Loading times eh? The HD will cut them out ^^’

AAAARRRRGGHHH!

I was so happy when KOF02/03 had very small loads. Damn. What does SNKP think this is, PS1?

…seriously.

Yeah, the load times are pissing me off so I’m just gonna sit in practice mode to figure things out.

About the multitap thing, unless I get a hold of one I can’t test out the tagmode thing. Atm, its just like arcade mode w/out the loading inbetween chars.

Yellow, is your avatar official Capcom art? Is it in any artbook?

Those are for Mars People and Athena. I guess they are still time-released.

Yeah…that’s the lame ass load time from the arcade. Are you talking about when you kill somebody in Arcade mode? It should’nt have to load again just when you switch characters.

But you can still end up fighting them? well i did anyway.

The game still has the zoom feature, hmm unlocking the bosses i dont know yet, perhaps beat survival mode.

this game feels clean compared to neowave, the backgrounds are some of the best ive seen in an snk game.

Well Im going to play the shit out of this now.

Edit: thanks for answering yellows4

Switch chars. its fine, but when you go from match to match or kill/lose a char. it loads.

But yeah, the left slot is Athena (I guess she was avail. after I beat arc. mode) didn’t get the right side yet. Managed to unlock Mizuchi, King easily by spamming Asura’s arrows in survival mode. Got to ND but died, so I’ll assume you get him when you take him out.

No english mode from what I can tell. Anyways I don’t know if I actually like the game haha. I might give it up just for more RF2 time.

Wait…so it loads in the middle of a match if one of the characters is KO’ed?!?

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MATCH?!?

Jesus…

…seriously.

Nope. Loads from Character Select -> Match. Then of course back to the win quote/character select.
