Subscribing.
Hey guys, I’ve had a copy of NGBC for a fair while, and I only recently got the incentive to start learning it properly.
I’m a ral beginner, and am not familiar with any SNK games other than WHP. I want to learn this and KOF2002. WIth NGBC, I relaly don’t know where to start. I like Shermie, and will pick another character when I’m comfortable with someone. what I would really like is a decent system guide and beginners FAQ, and some B&B combos. I would look on gamefaqs, but I fear my eyes would bleed.
I’m sure this was gone over in the old thread, but I didn’t really look in there cos it was so long…
Edit: I am a lazy fuck.
Double Edit: Yeah I scoured the links, there’s nothing for newbs to this game, and SNK newbs in general. Help a brother out.
IN BEFORE PAGE TWO
But seriously, I’m planning to go big with this game, and become a better Athena player than even Dark Geese.
I want to play you at FRXI until I can win at least once, okay?
I just found a guy’s youtube account has excellent high level NGBC play with good character variety, good stuff that will give a lot of folks some idea on how the game should be played. http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=Taikoubou1984&search_query=NGBC
Deal.
About the things for beginners…go to www.gamefaqs.com and look up Neo Geo Battle Coliseum…it has a FAQ that describes the systems of the game and specials etc…that should help you out.
Just to follow up on what DG posted, here is good place that has general strats and character primers. http://kingoffighters.planets.gamespy.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=11&topicdays=0&start=0
Archived that also under section “Beginner?”
Check the Mizuchi Primer guys just added some stuff.
I watched some of those vids in the Youtube link that Embryo provided, and some have a very sick Lee player by the name of Debukun.
Check out Debukun’s Lee mixups and shenanigans here:

If you’re looking for a great Fuma/Hanzo player, check out Fujihara.
Here is Fujihara’s Fuma/Hanzo in action:
Yeah that Lee player is Godly, Lee is considered top tier correct?
Lol no, Lee was bottom or near it for quite a long time until Joey started playing him and people were like WHAT and I think Geese moved him to B. I think he’s a decent character, but he takes a lot of work and top notch execution.
Alex: wow, I never thought of doing that.
If Stu keeps this shit up, Yuki will be moving up the tier list.
Debunkun is old news guys…right Joey?
Very much old news…
Lee is not top tier…Hes B Class…
Fujihara is the guy that knocked out Mago in SBO…
Guys, people winning with a character does not = the character being good okay.
exactly. it’s the player using them!
sigh
Also, and I definitely suspect this to be the case, the Japanese tend to upload mostly matches that they deem interesting. So, for every match Yuki fought, he may have managed to get lucky with counters and lightning shenanigans twice out of a 100 fights. An extreme example, but you get my point. I’m not saying the guy isn’t good, 'cause he is, but in watching a vid like the one versus the Iori, you can easily see the difference in options and how solid the character is.
sorry to say, but all the stuff stu’s found is old.
Yuki’s not gonna change much.
I will say that you can win with Yuki. I honestly don’t buy that he’s bottom.
He’s a darkhorse; most people don’t know how to fight him effectively, and at his best, he can do some amazing mixups.
Yuki I’ll play for fun but in real matches I’ll play my real teams.
My ‘fun team’ is Nakoruru and Akari. I love Nakoruru to death. Too bad she sucks.
I got too many fun teams in NGBC still…wayy too many casual teams. Guys besides what little Yuki has the problem he has is his mismatches…
He has a very hard time against most the cast in NGBC…let me repeat that…MOST…
Be it Mizuchi, Hanzo, Big, Tung,Haohmaru, Marco, Washizuka, or whoever…
Also what keeps him low in addition to how many matches are NOT in his favor is the fact he has to charge up everything…aainst someone like Tung thats free MM…Which equals Half Life…
I just bought the game today partially due to what I heard about it from here before its release. Thanks for making the thread and giving n00bs like me some places to learn more about the game.
