Haha sorry, got my ass in a forum I don’t belong in 
Sorry!
we all hate what we don’t understand.
Then again KOF don’t belong here anyway.
I’m sorry, but can someone expalin exactly why Duolon is so unbalanced~? Iv’e been playing KOF03 for a minute and I havent really seen anything that screams ‘unfair’ about him. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but I just want to know what substantiates this claim. Links? Video~???
his rekka have a lot of options, most of which require a guess from the opponent to avoid eating a half-life combo, is insanely stupid to set up, and has little punishment opportunity.
His teleport is lagless, which makes the first thing even more deadly.
Plus to add on Duo has TWO INFINITES…not just one…
Do you guys know about the OTG Tag Special that Kim Kaphwan can do?? What about Gato’s 100% vs. Heavyset people??
What Dark Shinryuken said I agree with totally in regards to CVS2 stuff BTW
2k3 is fun to play non-competitively, that’s all. As for its major problems :
- Duo (already talked of much ^^)
- Malin (forbidden in some tourneys due to some -repeatable- unblockable setups)
and worst of all, some MAJOR bugs in AES/MVS versions, including a throw on wake-up bug, which is perhaps the most broken thing I’ve ever seen in an snk game, better than any infinite :rolleyes:
are the bugs possissable on console via arcade mode? ppl told me malin was banned but im like how since has no mixup but i guess they took out her onlymixup(unblockables!):razz:
anyvids of the arcade ver in play and any vids on how to do the malin stuff? =x
if you’re talking of the ps2 version, it’s no. The game has been debugged for its own good (except if you want to own some scrub asses without effort, which would only make you a scrub king :rolleyes:)
i have both the NG and xbox. does the system setting on the console ver. change anything with the bugs? and how do you do the malin stuff?
did they get rid of the throw on wake up on console versions? well that’s the reason why not many ppl liked it. It’s fun and fast, but ridiculous. Iori could do a qcb p x 3. THen dash in command throw, into SLDM, or qcb p x3 again. And then mix that shit up with wake up heavy C. And as for duolon, you can combo them into air, teleport beside them, and then command throw them, and then redo that, and mix that up with a ground c.p combo into air again, which again is ridiculous.
Faster gameplay = faster jumps. Add in bull shit throwing capabilities = broken game. But i must admit, it’s hella fun.
It seems I haven’t been very clear so I’ll try to be more understandable : only the neogeo versions (AES/MVS) are bugged, all other versions are bug-free (at least for major bugs). So it doesn’t matter if you change anything or everything on the system setting.
As for the malin stuff, I’m afraid, I know very little about it, but among the possibilities, I’ve been suffering from a setup where I was attacked from both behind and front (malin from front and weapon from behind. THe setup was incomplete but it’s a free hit anyway.
Well I admit broken games are fun from time to time, but I’ve got too much of a competitive mind to really enjoy them.
BTW, favorite KOF is most probably '98 (I’d say 2k2 if the timings had not become very hard and if the max mode wasn’t so extreme). Worst KOF is definitely 2k1.
That imo is really the main reason.
Oh and whoever said Joe is lowtier in CvS2 doesnt know what there talking about either, almost as bad as that shoryuken guy.
weird you say that. at 1st its easy to hate 2001 since 02 was so good plus its ugly,broke,and music sucks. But if you play 4 vs 4 its kinda like 02 roster with 98 gameplay(no max mode troubles for you). try it! :tup:
on the wakeup throws was that a glitch or did snk want you to be punished for a knockdown? and is it worse then sf2 zang throw wakeup?
OK, I’ll try (as soon as I can get my hands on it, preferably lent in MVS, so not before 2 months).
As for the wakeups throws, I truly think it was a glitch : it was the 1st KOF with it and it was corrected afterwards, so I feel it’s not jsut punishment.
Reasons I prefer 2002 over 2003.
-There is no Chin in 03. WTF is KOF without Chin?
-Duolon. 'Nuff said.
-No Seth in 03.
-Ralf loses his ‘Ralf Tackle’ In 03.
-The fact that the bosses in 03 are a fucked-up Rugal clone and a souped-up Goenitz clone with extra cheese. C’mon people! We need more original bosses!
-Terry has no Rising Tackle in 03.
-No Choi. WTF was SNK smoking when they decided to drop him?
-Clark sux0rs in 03. His tackle is dumbed down.
However, here are the good things about 03:
-Robert is the shit in this game. He almost makes up for lack of Seth.
-The game is faster.
-The tag system r0x0rs.
-Ryo’s new QCB+Punch move.
-Tizoc and Gato.
Nah it just sucks overall. Nothing good about it.
Okay no Choi…thats why they gave us Malin…to let choi relax until KOF XII-THE NEW DREAMATCH with Choi, Malin,DuoLon team (That just sounds evil) In this Dreamatch you can choose the older versions of the characters (DuoLon 2k3 anyone)
Yes it may be a dream right now, but its possible.
You sound like a Marvel player. The game, is deep considering it has completely different mechanics than marvel. The reason most of the ingame experience was discovered early on is that KoF is WAYYYY more popular than Marvel in Japan. The Japanese are thought of as the most innovative fighting gamers in the world while the Americans are considered the least (Of couse, I do not consider Mexico) and, owing to personal experience, tend to adopt (not even modify) techniques they see. Another reason is not popular in the states, most likely because of the poor, poor graphics and lack of beta testing that SNK is notorius for. This means, most USA’ers rarely see new things because finding comp for SNK is rare at best. Thirdly there are tried-and-true tactics in KoF that have worked since the beginning (grapple character owning for example).
Oh, and Joe IS low tier in CvS2. Just like Yuri, Ryo and King. You want mid tier, give me Todo and Hibiki.
No Ramon = Suckage
