How so? (I've never played it)

While on SS, I would like to see a SS Collection. Is there one in Japan (or anywhere else)?
 
I don't know if there is a SS Collection or not. All I know is that I loved SS IV and I hope they include that in the SS V pack as a bonus or something. I miss the Bust/Slash modes.

They took out Slash? WTF?
 
[quote name='Strider Turbulence']There was a lot of uproar abou SSV being heavily censored, which is just wrong once you consider how much those Neo Geo Carts costs.[/QUOTE]

they still cost a lot of money? I remember seeing game ads like ten years ago with NG games for like $200.
 
[quote name='62t']Too late, SSV is a joke and easily the worst of the series.[/QUOTE]

some people have said they really like it, and it can't be that bad considering its source material.

also SSV was censored, but most of that was already bypassed by people who had modded their system. Basically if you are hoping for a version to be translated, it is the MVS version of SSV special

and as far as Neo Geo carts go, only the AES carts go for a lot. MVS carts are a hell of a lot cheaper, and considering someone made a way to play these games in console mode, it is the way most people are starting to go with their collections (I know I really want to put together some money and get a CMVS built sometime soon, gotta work on that job thingie within the next couple of days;))
 
[quote name='Strider Turbulence']Rainbow Edition was a hack, I alway heard about people playing it at some magical arcae I could never find (it was mistaken for SFIII) but never played it outside of emulation.[/QUOTE]

I know it was a hack, but I still love it. I'd always play it back in my younger years at the local Pistol Pete's Pizza and Mary K's Arcade (the best arcade I've ever been to). *cough*I also have it on MAME.*cough:whistle2:#
 
Mame, someone needs to PM about that. ;)

I have Super Street Fighter 2 and Street FIghter Zero for PC but neither work with WIndows XP. :cry:
 
well, one thing I can say that MAME has done is slighlty put some more life into 2D games. Games that people couldn't play, or never even heard of, are now available to them on MAME.

oh, and don't some of the rare Neo Geo carts go for $3,000 or more?
 
SNK kept talking in interviews, for a long time, about them releasing collection packs of their older games and putting them on Xbox.

In fact, I even remember an interview with Ben Herman, either the president or vice president of SNK's US branch, confirming that they were coming and that the fans would be really excited.

But this was a year or two ago, and I haven't heard anything since. I guess it turned out to be vaporware, along with Guilty Gear vs Capcom.

Whatever happened to that, anyways? I know one interview with the GG team said that they loved the Darkstalkers universe, and wanted to use some of the more obscure Capcom characters because they would mesh well... and then bam, no info whatsoever.

And I just read over on mmcafe.com's message boards, that a new KoF is coming out... and it uses KoF 2003's sprites and graphics. Meh. The roster is very different this year, and a ton of old favorites were removed.
 
[quote name='jkam']I have always enjoyed the sega pads the most as well. I loved playing in the arcades with a stick but at home I'm fine with a pad. Unless I get an arcade machine someday.

Question: A lot of people seem to like the PS2 pads for these games. How do you do half circles when you can't do the full motion on the pad itself? I never found these comfortable for fighters.

I like the Street Fighter Controllers.[/QUOTE]

pretty easy I love using the ps2 controller I cant stand using arcade stick I dont feel like I have all the controll compared to my thumbs. um I cant really explain to u how but I dont use the tip of my thumb cause id loose my grip id use the "middle" of my thumb and I could control the character easier and make combos and moves come out faster. I can pretty much do that weird Super move that charlie, Guile and anyother character like that at any time I want with hardly any problems .

I was also a veteran of the SNES controller thats where I learned how to play street fighter , so since the ps2 D-pad is similar to the SNES it was an obvious upgrade from the SNES to the PS2.

it's already been anounced that SNK will be showing their Xbox versions of their 2d games on the floor of E3. Nothing really new except for the fact that almost all their fighting games on the xbox will be xbox live. good news for some folks.

oh and the new KOF (titled KOF XI) is now in its testing stages... go to NeoGeoforLife.com for more details.

I'm talking about how they announced compliations of their series on Xbox awhile ago, not their new games.

They mentioned ideas like Art of Fighting 1-3, a Fatal Fury compliation, stuff like that., at a low price. It just kind of seemed to disappear, as SNK has never brought it up again.

I'm fairly certain Guilty Gear vs Capcom has disappeared as well.
 
Reviving my thread:

Anyone know if these 2 games are making it stateside?

The Darkstalkers Collection
KoF '94 Re-Bout


I was looking at playasia and it seems Japan gets raped when it comes to 2D fighters. They sell the KoF games (00-03) and SF (2 and 3 3S) seperately. But they also get a lot more than we do....
 
I don't think either of those have a U.S. date on them yet-- maybe KoF does, but DS:Chronicles definitely doesn't.

I really hope darkstalkers makes it here...
 
KOF rebout is coming out. I think it is coming for both PS2 and Xbox. I know Gamespot had PS2 screens, which makes me think it is coming out for both
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']KOF rebout is coming out. I think it is coming for both PS2 and Xbox. I know Gamespot had PS2 screens, which makes me think it is coming out for both[/QUOTE]

Does it only include '94?
 
Neowave was supposed to be a remake of 2002 on Atomiswave hardware I think. Fan reaction was kinda quiet IMO, then again this wasn't as easily attainable as other KOF games.
 
[quote name='evilmax17']Neowave coming too.

How was Neowave received by fans? I haven't heard much about it (granted, I haven't been looking either).[/QUOTE]

I think it was considered alright, but 2003 is supposed to be the top SNKP KOF

the new one is supposed to be really cool though as they are bringing back a ton of old school characters (like Duck King)
 
Don't let this topic die!

I've been playing MAME and it's so easy to do stuff with the keyboard. Kind of makes me dislike controllers now. Also, I feel that KoF 2003 is better than 2002, and probably 2001 and 2000 (I haven't played them yet). Thoughts on this?

Whoa...I never tried playing with the keyboard using NeoRage. I did know this guy who beat Metal Slug with the KB though. That was insane. I know I have KOF 2000/2001 on NeoRage and PS2. I don't think I have played 2003 yet.

2003 is easily the best in the series.

It's too bad it took SNK 6 or so years to add good changes to the game.

2000 and 2001 are not that great, imo, so 2003 definately wins overall.

Makes skilled button mashing easier ;). Kinda hard with 6 button games, but I found a loophole.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that thinks 2003 is the best. I heard 98 and 2002 are the favorites. I like 1995 for Gameboy a lot (thanks Ziv!).
 
anyone on here play guilty gear x2 #reload (xbox) online? i'm a total newb, but i'd like to learn the ways of a more experienced gg player. my gamertag is peyj.
 
man i cant comprehend how you can use a keyboard to play fighting games. but more power to you. KOF 2003 is my favorite KOF and I'm eagerly awaiting Neo Geo BAttle Colisseum. Hopefully it will be a hell of a lot better than Capcom Fighting Evolution (which wouldn't be a hard task at all).

CVS2 is still damn fun too.

Very easy. Capcom Fighting Evolution was worth my $15. Don't like CvS2 that much.

I have played it but I am not that good at it. I am not sure if there are more experienced players or not.
 
Some monumental news for the 2-d fighting world-- Play Magazine chose Capcom Fighting Evolution for the Xbox as Game of the Month! wow, if that's not a sign that the summer game slump is here, I don't know what is :p
I can see why people would like it, but I can't get into that game.

I've got a friend who kicks ass with a keyboard! He has a natural talent for fighting games, but when he gets on a keyboard, he's 100x better. :)

I play it occasionally, but the lag really sucks. I don't think I've had a match with any less than a half-second delay on moves.

I'm not the shiznit by any means, just another crackhead Jam player, but this is what I've found to be important--

1. learn which basic attacks chain together, which is different for each character.
2. learn which special moves can finish or follow up with a combo
3. learn which basic attacks can counter and stagger, also different for everyone
4. be able to recognize all the characters special/super moves
5. make a habit of using faultless defense against special/super moves- alot of super moves can do a significant amount of damage even when you are blocking!
6. play the computer a lot. it's one of the few fighting games where the computer is a worthy(i.e. hard as hell) opponent.

know that stuff and you can do pretty well online.

I have gone through Metal Slug 3 twice with the ketboard. Never try it. Your hands are killing half way through, but you have put so much time into it that you can't bring yourself to stop...

I don't like using a keyboard. But I don't have a pad for my comp. So sometimes I play anyway when I need my KI fix.

Damn that KoF '94 rebout looks so tempting on Play-Asia, especially since it comes with a controller.........
 
[quote name='Masterkyo']Samurai Shodown is the BEST Series.....;)[/QUOTE]

The best series? If you mean out of all 2D fighters you're definately wrong on that one. ;)
 
I don't settle for 2nd page :bomb:

I got Guilty Gear Isuka today. It's.......interesting. The 2v1 is kinda bullshit though.
 
The only fighting game I practiced religiously, learned all of its exploits, learned how to master 3 of its characters and all of their exploits, learned the rest of the characters well enough to know patterns/range/timing, and basically everything there is to know about it....

Soul Calibur II. God I loved that game. It was fun as hell going to tournaments and playing against some of the best out there. Makes me wish there was an xbox live feature for that game.

I recently purchased street fighter collection and I often find myself getting my ass handed to me in SFII. Did they make the guys harder or something? I want to really learn and master street fighter alpha III (the parrying mode looks interesting) but it seems extremely simplistic in terms of what you can do or what you resort to. What turned me on to it though was watching a fighting tournament where some guy parried all of chunli's kicks and then supered her.

Man I wanna learn that game baaad.

I know the video you're talking about. I'm sure everyone does. Parrying's cool, but I don't like how you can't airblock in SF3. I always thought SF2 was hard and boring, not a big fan of it. Soul Calibur is indeed a great game. Maybe I'll finish the Xbox and PS2 ones like I did GC.


EDIT: Wait, SC2 isn't 2D. You keep that talk outta here mister ;)

Oh hell :(

I was all excited about discussing a fighting game i'm good at and then...it all fell apart :no:
 
heh, that video is quite inspiring. and yes, SF3 is pretty hard against the computer. much love for Gill's regeneration :roll:

my friend just hooked me up with a ridiculous rom pack for my xbox out of the blue. I almost never play emulators, but this one has almost every snk and capcom fighter that has been released-- euro and japanese versions included! yikes. Have a nice life everyone, i'll be in my basement ;-)
 
I miss the days when fighting games were the shiznit. I mastered Street Fighter II and won a few local tournaments. I am also good at the Tekken series, everything Street Fighter, VS series, Darkstalkers, and SNK fighters. I try to get into Guilty Gear (I have X2 and Isuka) but I have a hard time with it for some reasons. i recently purchased SVC Chaos and I am very dissapointed by it (great cast of characters, plays like Fighting Street with its balance).

Otherguy676 I don't know how you can be good at any fighting game and not be good at GG. It's so easy! Maybe I'm just so skilled I don't even realize it :cool:

I want to play some of you guys, but online play sucks. I might be on GGx2#R and CvS2EO soon though. I'll post if I'm going to play that day.

Primal Rage?

That was an arcade game as well.

on another note, why has SEGA not brought Eternal Champions out of the vault? The least they could do is port the SEGA CD version to the DS or PSP with some upgraded graphics
