Best in RB2 once again are Geese and Krauser…
Billy is up there but Geese and Krauser are your S Class.
As for 98 there will be an option to go Original…
ignoranace must be bliss
its obvious you guys dont really play these games and just read about them.
rbs is probably THE most solid game on the neo. rbs has next to no glitches and the gameplay and combo system smokes rb2. rb2 wasnt even finished. they scrapped it 70% thru to copy second impact gamestyle then, they put in the break cancel moves and thought it was so cool they made an entire game system based on it “garou”. FYI there isnt any character that sucks in rbs. theyre all monsters. about the the second impact reference, you have to open it up using the dip switches but there is a screen in rb2 that has the button config from 6 button to 4 button crossover and the streetfighter 3 2nd impact logo. so if all yawll wondered if neo was biting capcom games you were right. only natural as the presidents of both companies were good friends and friendly rivals so im sure they shared a lot of shiz with one another. the plane system in rbs actually works correctly and is total garbage in rb2. instead of perfecting the 3 plane system from real bout the psuedo 3d they made some busted fatal 3 revision. then you have boards that dont even have multiplane you can just bounce the opponent off the background for a juggle. rb2 has several infinites and a bunch of glitches and broken gameplay. stick with rbs if you want a solid game or be a noob and play rb2 cuz a bunch of shoryuken ppl say its better.
I totally agree that RBS is better than RB2…
Im right there with you Ninjamatt.
I personally prefer Real Bout Special myself but hold your horses guys…I play them ALL…
And just for you guys I am planning to get some tournament footage of Real Bout Special/2 provided the release date comes out before Final Round X to help everyone that doesnt wanna look into the game in-depth like Ninjamatt is saying make their own decisions.
Support the scene and find out for yourself because the Garou Battle Archives 2 is coming out very very soon!!!
And to second what Ninjamatt said, dont judge a book by its cover, dont look at the combo vids of Real Bout Special and say
#1 Nightmare (/Dark hahaha!!! :badboy:) Geese looks broken… Well duh hes a hidden boss…the most powerful form of Geese…he’s supposed to be BROKEN…Four air fireballs…and more!!
#2 All I see are combo vids of Real Bout Special Infinites…
Well but still whats the probability of you landing all the combo video stuff in an actual match???
Thats like saying oh boy 2002 looks hella broken because you STILL find combovids of stuff in the game…
Rb2 is more noob-friendly hence why more like it…and yes probably because of Rick and how he was later used for Vanessas design etc…
RB2 has a few 100% combos as well.
RBS to me is more noob-friendly, as there is more abuseable stuff in that.
RB1 I prefer over RBS, then RB2 over RB1.
You guys don’t read. The only reason why I put NESTs Collection in there is because it’s been delayed since forever. It has nothing to do with the quality/popularity of that arc, and everything to do with me wanting to have the entire online collection from beginning to end. SS Collection was a given. Same with the rest of the Garou collections.
And there were no good 99-2k1 ports shy of the puke-worthy 2k1 port for PS2. 99 never ported correctly and I can’t remember offhand if 2k was proper. 2k1 doesn’t deserve mention.
94 Re-Bout had classic 94, so 98 Re-Bout should have classic 98. It’ll be pretty bad if they don’t.
I like all three RB games alot, but RB2 is the one I play most since nobody else will play RB1 or RBS. I’m all about Kim in these games. 
Also, Bash is a beast in every game, especially in RB2. Although I think Geese got raped in the game, he lost his Shippuken and Jaiken. Those were my favorite moves. 
Wait a minute? R U serious??? Geese got raped in RB2??
Hold on one minute. Yes he lost Shippuken and Jaiken, but hes still TOP TIER for one reason…
Fa St.D Karacancel…
Far St. D Karacancel into 360 Super Grab for like 50% health gone=all your health!!!
I think you mean back + B kara into whataver.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear what your saying, but one move isn’t going to make a character top tier, at least in my opinion. Anyways, my main gripe is that RB2 Geese lost some of his special move variety, Jaiken was one of Geese’s best Guard Cancel moves, and ya just gotta have the good ol’ air fireball with Geese to round him out, although the number of times I accidentally Shippuken’ed and landed out of bounds in RB1 is embarrassing.
Geese is still one tough mofo to deal with in RB2, no doubt about it, but I don’t personally get as much pleasure playing with him compared to his previous incarnations. I gotta have my JAIKEEEEEN!! DIE! FOREVER!!
Oh, thank god!
98 Ultimate Match (which is what it’s called) has original MVS 98 along with the Ultimate Match version which has lots of stuff added to it, like Kasumi, Eiji, Goenitz and whatnot.
My bet is that Goenitz won’t be in it. From what I hear now in 98 UM its NEST/EX Kyo…
Which just really makes me say “WTF???”
noob friendly?
its easy to see that rb2 is an unfinished game with a broken line system and unfinished characters. if you play rb or rbs where all characters are almost as strong as they possibly can be, then you play that watered down everyone is raped game rb2 there is no comparison. rbs a noob game? you smokin crack dude. its noob style compared to fatal 3 which besides the damage is an awesome game. even garou is noob style.(i know i know but before you flame me for the garou comment hear me out) i know garou’s cancel system is nice and difficult at high level but since rb1 they have dumbed down the moves so noobs can get on and play. i liked it when everyone had moves and motions unique to them so you actually had to learn all the characters. in garou with the dip switches you can access the system direction page(yes just like streetfighter remember they were biting 2nd impact at the time so why not have a system direction) and choose the top settings,the parry input time, chains, and THE ORIGINAL SUPER MOTIONS, or the easy mode where everyone has double fireball everything.
i know i sound like a bit of a fanatic but when youre the only one with a neo geo since the days of fatal fury special you get a little biused. there will never be a scene in an atlanta besides us. and “us” has dwindled to like 5 people. hell, one of my best friends larry"shin blanka" runs the final round tourneys but last year was the first of ten years he put an snk title in his tourney. dude. 10 years. ive owned every title worth playing on that system and no one would ever give it a chance. so after a decade of waiting and getting a litle rusty with no comp ive decided to enter and hopefully crush a whole lot of people so that maybe people will want to get good at these games. because like it or not its all thats being made anymore. srk soon to be shoryuken/risingtackle.com
sorry venting,bitter…done
see you victims…er, competitors in the final round
THe reason I think RBS is the worst of the 3 is
RB1 has the ring outs, which add something, and the fewest infinites/100%'s. It is the least balanced of the 3, and the oldest.
RBS seems to be mostly about combos, moreso then the other FF games. Probably the reason I disliked RBS is personal bias- really, all 3 RB games have their pros and cons.
RB2 seems to have been a reaction to the madness of RBS, and an attempt to mainstream the game, which isn’t a bad thing. Unnatural super motions aren’t a good thing. I don’t think RB2 was rushed though- I don’t see any evidence of that. Missing moves could have been for various reasons, like balance, prevention of infinites (2k2 did this, though 2k2 was kind of a cruddy game)
I just like the way RB2’s combo system flows better.
Like the line-up better too.
Well NinjaMatt we need to join forces, My quest will reach it’s fullfillment with as many diehard people like you as possible!!!
RBS has broken shit. Pretty simple.
IIRC The NESTS Trilogy will have a number of extras.
One thing that RBS kinda suffered from is damage scaling…
Try this combo with Franco:-
Jumping C–>Standing A, C–>S. Power…yeah WTF indeed
Well LeeBee once again RB2 has broken shit too…like Rick’s infinite and stuff…its pretty broken…and yeah how Geese can get half your life off a Kara Back+B (Yeah Noc I was thinking NGBC and KOFXI lol) to 360 Grab is pretty broken too…
How come you see in NGBC Geeses throw has been reduced in damage and its been made to a 720???
If Geese still had that in NGBC He would probably be like A Class if not better I kid you not!!!
