The NEOGEO Battle Coliseum Mega-thread

I must be blind I didnt even notice that Shermie was on the roster! :smile:

I hope that King is in the game, has anyone seen her in the background or something?

Oh and I hope that Koujirou is put into the game, I mean if they have Keiichirou in the game then why not her. The Shinsengumi RULE! :rock:

It’s not just you the roster is fucking awesome. Here’s to hoping SNKP doesn’t fuck it up.

I’m quite content with the roster. Now my main worry is that this game might turn out broken…

I’m not much of a NeoGeo fan, I just know chars from KOF and Fatal Fury. But who would you think is top and is good to play with in this game?

Roster looks great so far, but I can’t stand Genjuro (I’m neutral towards the Jin brothers).

And since they’re so rivalry happy (what, with Kyo/Iori, Ryo/Robert, Terry/Geese, Hanzo/Fuuma, Kaede/Moriya, and now Haohmaru/Genjuro), I want to see Kula as well.

And yes, yet another cosign for Duck King.

Loving the roster as well, a K’/Kaede/Ryo team is gonna definitely be on of my favorites. Also think it’s awesome that World Heroes characters got in. Didn’t expect Kula though, cause even though they did a rival thing, K’ is not nor never was rivals with Kula, so they probably didn’t want to add her. She’s more like ā€œthat annoying ice kid that bugs him for candyā€ in his eyes.

BUT WHERE THE HELL IS SETSUNA?! Seriously. :mad:

Put in Setsuna, Duck King and Kazuki and it’d be perfect.

The one thing that I like is the fact that this roster seems so varied and cool. Like with this game SNK did the opposite of what Capcom does, they put alot of cool and some obscure type characters in the game. Capcom will only put the popular characters in the game if it’s the 1st of a series like CFJ.

Actually, that was the reason for her introduction (though K’s perception of her probably is equivalent to what you said); K9999, however, was later introduced as a means of replacing her as the rival of K’ (which was completely pointless, seeing as the NESTS saga was about to end), which didn’t work. The result: Kula technically being the rival but more of an antipode than anything else (since K’s appearance only seems to guarantee Maxima to show up), and K9999 left to rot.

Either way, I’m not getting my hopes up.

What the fuck’s up with Geese in this game? He discovered all-you-can-eat Sizzler or something?

ā€œI’ll stain my hands…with your gravyā€¦ā€

That’s what mid life crises do to you, allthough i never really noticed him being any chubbyier

Just one thing to point out.

They’ve already announced 30+ characters for this game. We have the main characters of FF, AoF, KoF, SS, WH and LB present. We’ve had a large number of surprises, many characters I’ve never heard of, and characters who don’t seem that important but made it in anyway.

In the midst of it all, Andy has not been announced. AGAIN. At this point, I’d claim that he is forever doomed to never appear in a non-KOF crossover. (Still, cheers to Robert for breaking his rut.)

Oh well the reason why Namco and Sammy-Sega are in Evo is because their communities have worked really hard for it to happen. While the VF4Evo community is really small, their players work hard to make it happen, same goes for the Guilty Gear crowd and Namco games, though Namco games are quite popular enough.

More stuff like FS.com’s Revolution at this year’s EVO should happen if SNK/SNKP games are to be part of the excitement. But that’s still an uphill from the looks of it, that SNK tourney held by S-C.com at that convention only brought in like what 12-15 people? And only 8 played in the 2k3 portion of the tourney? Correct me if I’m wrong, I forget all the details.

Time to Troll…

add me to the bandwagon for…
Duck King

and Im currently Driving the
Setsuna,Angel
and…
Kensou
bandwagon.

Who wants to come along?

Infini here, forgot Alpha was logged in.

Put me in with the Setsuna bandwagon. He’s about as far from ā€œfireball/uppercutā€ as you can get, yet he’s not in and Moriya and Akari are…truly confusing.:sad: Duck King would be good too, better than the RB guys (nothing against their fighting styles, I just hated RB). But Kyo’s in, and Rock’s in, and Kaede’s in, so I’m good.

Oh yeah, and those new guys (Yuki and Ai) look pretty damn cool. I’ll probably play as both.

PUt king leo and billy kain and i will be happy.

Question about Duck King in Fatal Fury Special (NOT Real Bout). I could swear, the last time I played as him, that when you do his d,db,b+k he says ā€œI’m onto you!ā€ as he does the knee…did I hear wrong?

ā€œEarth Cutter!ā€
ā€œDynamite!ā€

Fuck that, put in Rosa and Kim Sue Il. Infinite that shit down. Best Houou Kyaku EVAR.

I’d personally prefer RB Kim to KOF Kim. Simply because of the utterly different sprite + moveset. RB Houou(with taunts at the end) > FF Houou > KOF Houou.

Angel would be nice - we really need different play styles, but i doubt anyone from KOF2001 will ever come back (SNKP seems really ashamed of Eoliths game).

I still have some hope for Duck.

Rosa is in a background and we already have one Kim. I also was hoping that Rosa would be in the game, but i think well end up with Hayate… or (hopefully) Gordon to fill the ā€œbig guyā€ spot. :clap:

And almost all characters in Real Bout play better there than in KOF (Blue Mary being the exception).

Word…that shit was just so…John Woo-ish, you almost expect to see white doves fly by before the burning embers start falling…beautiful.

Here’s what I got looks like a lot more than 12 people? Correct me if I’m wrong?

*KOF2k2, KOF2k3, KOF98, GAROU:MOTW, SS2, SS0, SvC

Depending on time and players involved we’ll try and get as many games played as possible, however the games with the most interest expressed will get the first dibs.

Looks like plenty of interest to me? Or is it just haterating, it’s got to stop on both sides!! Capcom has a major edge over SNK and SNK fans need to understand that, but I’m sure well’ll get there, maybe? NGBC please help a brother out.

Us fighting game fans need to stick together, unity is strength, united we stand divided we fall. And there aren’t that many of us anyways.

meh

Doesn’t anyone remember the glory days of SNK RBFF2 and gmotw high quality games if only SNK upgraded their hardware things could have been different, but blah.

I’ve been playing SSV it isn’t half bad, rehashed quite a bit but still fun, common help a SNK brother out?
