Who Plays KOF The Best?

Current Fighting Games King of Fighters

4th is pretty good. Getting bad place in a tournament is misleading, it shouldn’t even be used as a reference (except only if you place high). If you lose in the first round to someone really good, getting last place in the process, that hardly tells an accurate story.

Eh right…because me standing right in front of the arcade monitor as opposed to looking at the monitor from a video, is somehow going to give me some bigger insight into what’s going on, gameplay-wise.

Eh ok? When have I mentioned Lecter at all recently? Those are your tactics, not mine.

Emil, I think they were reffering to watching separate matches between Mexico and the Japanese. Not actually watching from a video. Like, if I was to watch two Japanese players fighting and two Mexican fighters playing, that would only tell half of things. But if I was to watch a Japanese player fight a Mexican player, that’d be different. Also, there’s a problem with one of the arguments given on his environment.

If the Japanese have such strong Yomi, shouldn’t they be able to handle the pressures of any obstacle as far as mindset? Shouldn’t they be able to keep cool, calm and collected? A part of “reading your opponent’s mind” is keeping your own mind calm.

Siberianhusky is right- I am talking about the same thing Anakron said- Watching match vids and playing in a TOURNAMENT or even being present at a tournament watching people play is like comparing apples to oranges. Matter of fact watching match vids is like kindergarten and being there is like high school, while actually playing in a high level tournament in the end is like COLLEGE (from what you are learning)…therefore once again no comparison.

Yes being in person at an event is no comparison to sitting at home with Fruit Loops and a case of beer watching it, but until you do that Emil you will NEVER know the difference, it’s like telling a 15 year old kid you’re not grown yet even though he thinks he is…

This is a pointless argument Emil until you get off you A-S-S and go to a high level tournament and see for yourself.

Does anyone here think it’s better being at SBO or watching it on match vids? I dont think that’s a question at all. You’d understand a lot more if you were there playing vs. these people, instead of extrapolating stuff from afar when you aren’t there as if you are privy to something they are not.

Matter of fact me playing vs. M’ in 2002 UM would be far more satisfying than watching him on Emils channel on some SBO 2002 UM Qualifier, esp since by BEING at a tournament I learned from Bata that I know M’ is the #1 player in Japan in 2002 UM.

I got a better example boys and girls, how do you learn how to have sex? Watching porn or ACTUALLY HAVING SEX?

Don’t tell me some of you agree watching porn (sex match vids lol) is better than having sex???

Once again no comparison.

Khannibal still is not one of the best anymore, there is a changing of the guard, who ranked higher than him even in the Juarez tournament?

Let’s see- Emil’s favorite scrub Alexis-2nd, Lalo-1st, the new #1 in Juarez, Severo, who I heard raped Khannibal himself-3rd.

If Khannibal is a top player than what does that make the players in Juarez that beat/ranked higher than him? Wouldn’t that make them top players in all of Mexico?

The top 3 in Juarez are better than Khannibal. Matter of fact as I am sure you heard Emil, the Juarez players were not impressed by Khannibal at all, however; Khannibal said the Juarez players earned his respect.

I agree about playing, but if you’re going to argue that looking at a recorded video is somehow different than looking at them playing in person, you’re just making a fool out of yourself. Maybe, since you’re more focused at a tourney, but it’s still ridiculous. You don’t magically have a greater cognizance of the match by watching it live…

665

Anakron- But what I am saying is that being at the event you learn more in general, I’m talking about the “Big picture.”

First off people have to realize:

  1. By the time you see a match vid the tactics are probably already old. So if you are just watching match videos you are just a follower, you are always gonna be 5 steps behind the people out there ACTUALLY PLAYING.

  2. 98% of the time there are matches left out, omitted by various reasons such as people just choosing the “best matches”, not wanting to record everything, not wanting people to see warmups, getting equipment hooked up while people are playing thus you only see what was played when the equipment got hooked up (what happened in Juarez), or hell I just got LAID in Mexico so by the time Drunk Kane9999 was playing Rodo I was resting from some hot action, so I didnt wanna record everything, I just rested and watched on and off etc, so you really don’t get to see EVERYTHING, you miss the big picture by just going off match videos.

So in conclusion, you gain a lot more by being in person at a tournament than simply watching match videos. In person you get to see everything, for example, I played Ismael a good 30 something matches in 2002 UM last time I was in Juarez, but you all only got to see the last 2 matches.

Who knows the full story? Me with the 32 matches or you guys who only got to see TWO???

Even me watching Kane9999 playing vs. Rodo and the others all the matches I had on youtube are NOT all the matches played that weekend, those are just the ones recorded, so once again who is getting the better deal here? You guys just watching the match vids uploaded or me being there seeing ALL the matches even the ones not recorded?

Is there going to be a porno? Juarez WhoreZone?

667

Hey I thought about putting some stuff on Xtube but I decided not to hahahaha.

668

OMFG, every1 is still arguing over a Japanese player who came over and lost? Oh freaking well, if Daigo loses in tournament, he suddenly isn’t one of the top SF players?
All pride and reputation aside, Danke can come, he can be accommodated with sticks and buttons he is familiar with, and if he loses, good games, better luck next time.

I’m not even gonna play this “Who’s better” bullshit anymore, cause it’s getting no where, and as far as I’m concerned, is a very childish argument topic. I mean seriously, a Japanese player going to Mexico to play against the top Mexican players, that is already a marvelous achievement considering this isn’t SSF4 we’re talking about. Yet no one is fucking satisfied, if Danke loses, it’s because of 1 of 100 side factors, if he wins, the Japanese are superior in every way. Whether the guy takes first place, or dead last, his appearance, dedication to come, and DG actually going through the trouble of getting him here and accommodating him with a comfortable arcade setup should be greatly appreciated, not criticized.

669

Judge, you doubt Danke?! He hails from Glorious Nippon! And we all know the only people who call bring those whose hail from GLORIOUS NIPPON down are those who are from GLORIOUS NIPPON!:pray:
No Dark Geese! No Viva La Mexico for you!

I hate this thread. Someone delete it.

670

Hey if the mods delete this thread then trust me we all will be happy, but since they haven’t…might as well have fun with it.

Update, Alexis may be going with me after all…a lot of players from D.F. want to play him for money, so things are about to heat up in Mexico City…

Judge- You see what I gotta deal with now, it’s a lose-lose either way! Now you see!

That is the sign of true fanboyism, can’t admit when someone loses!!! At least admit that someone lost, either way, instead of getting butthurt and making excuses!

A REAL man can swallow his pride and admit when he’s wrong.

Stay tuned!

671

Get some hot mexicon gals to cosplay KOF females and then we got ourselfs a million dollar idea here:wgrin: Although what judge said is right, shouldnt we just be happy to see this level of devotion and commitment to a game we all love and cherish…why do “some” people have to suck the fun out of everything.

P.S.
Dont delete my thread its brought us some comedy gold from emil, if this isnt here then the Jap fanboyism will spread throughout the entire board instead of being enclosed on a single thread…u see this thread is like a containment for trolls lol.

672

@Hatred Edge: ???"???"

@Everyone else: There is no moderation in this sub-forum, so there is no penalization for trolling or starting an argument. They usually are fun, but when it comes to the Mexico v Asia argument, nothing gets resolved or understood.

673

Mainly because of the extreme denialism from certain members…

674

So Danke and Bata are the only confirmed Japanese players that will be going to your next event? That’s pretty damn cool and keep up the good work!

BTW, since Bata was the first one to come over, what has his feedback been back in Japan about the Mexican players he played while he was in Juarez? Have many other KOF Japanese players taken notice and are tempted to come over for some future events?

675

Hurr Hurr so clever, activating the Bat Signal so Keits can close this thread

Incorrect my good man, the only reason why the mods don’t really bother with some of the subforums is because they don’t have the time to (I’m sure moderating the SSFIV/MvC3 section is a full-time job) and to be honest I cant really blame them, I mean I wouldn’t voluntarily shuffle through this shit storm of a thread just to figure out whose trolling who either

676

As a matter a fact Cibernetico, Geese’s heard that Hammar’s wanted to come over ever since Bata has lost. They might have him over during the 2002 tournament of August (Mexico Vs. Panama), but things must be discussed with Dune in order for that to happen. He’s a hard man to get in contact with and according to Dune, Hammar is #20 in KOF2002 currently out of the Japanese players.

@Krazykone123

I don’t know about that… I’ve seen them ban members and such for ridiculous reasons. Personally, I think they only want to make themselves look good and get rid of those who make them sound bad. That’s just my thoughts though.

677

Hey hey EVO- Good idea. I want one to cosplay Angel so that when I give it to her…ahhh nevermind lol. Yes we cannot have the blind fanboyism spread all over lord no, why do some people have to be so damn ignorant?? Geez…I mean damn just because I love the Kansas City Chiefs doesn’t mean I can’t admit when they suck or when they lose!!!

Geez some people…xD

Bata is in Europe right now Cibernetico for a full year studying English, Danke is the one that will be there, Alexis from Juarez is highly likely and we are focusing on Danke right now in addition to the hoards of competition he will have to face in Mexico City and I told him it’s gonna be VERY VERY TOUGH…I mean hell Abraham, even Khannibal,Winnie, Kensou, Clavi, and Bart are a hop skip and a jump away so thats the type of talent we are talking about, even old use to be top player Osmani is right around the corner, even the guy we all love to hate KULA is right around the corner, so we are at the very heart of KOF for 2002. The #1 player in 98 in Mexico is from D.F., (Andres) is gonna be there too, so basically we are at the heart of KOF for 2002 and 98!

Cibernetico- We got Bata’s feedback on film:

[media=youtube]Xw826TLejkE[/media]
[media=youtube]8Ix12CzkFmg[/media]

Plus there’s more on the DVDs…

678

I won’t doubt that (I’ve seen it happen a lot), either way this topic still needs to be closed

679

If you can get a Mexican girl to cosplay Angel, make sure she at least does not replicate her annoying in game voice.

As for the post game interviews, I saw those already and it’s cool to see him give praise to guys like Abraham and others. But I was actually referring to what he has let his fellow countrygamers know of his travels and experiences playing new competition in KOF. And also wanted to know if he has at least spurt some interest in the majority of the gamers over there to at least consider traveling in to Mexico in the future to experience what he did vs. the Latin players.

680

Ciberfantico- Bata told Dune he feels like he lost because The Mexicans were strong, and yes he has spurt some interest in Japan as did Dune, there is more interest in Asia in general now for coming to Mexico and playing Latin American players in KOF. Dune even has reference to that in his blog as we speak (Danke talked to me about it), and Bata wants to come back to Mexico, which he will…for 98/98UM and that will at the same time be a chance to redeem himself in 2002 and 2002 UM.

Also if she cosplays as Angel I hope her voice won’t be that annoying, but hey as long as she’s having a “good time” hahahaha.
