I imported UM 2002. Great fucking fun.
Wish it were coming out on PSN.

Seems like all the older SNK Fighters are hitting XBLA for priority. I don't think games like NGBC, Samurai Shodown II, KOF 98 UM, or even the Fatal Fury games are on the PSN. At least not now.
SNK are fucking stupid I swear.
"Let's put all our shit on the Xbox 360 only! Durrr! That would get us back in business and make us finally better than Capcom!"

Wait, they have KoF 98 UM and the Fatal Fury games on XBL? With online?
If you tell me that Mark of the Wolves is honestly on XBL with online, I will buy a 360 TONIGHT!

It is. Has been for over a year.
Late niggas be late.
X13 has glitches. Hope they fix them.

Well I know where my next check is going. That is unbelievably awesome.
Don't get too excited; the netcode for the game is shit. SNK didn't get the online thing down until NGBC.
This message is to a certain human being that's going to SoCal Regionals this weekend…
"You better play this motherfucking game son!"
Oh, and use Yuri, Mai, and King for me too!
"You better play this motherfucking game son!"
I have the game, fool, and I'll be hunting you down.
Better catch me early, before I get my Geese game back. >:)
Hows the online for UM2002?
Same as NGBC. So, good.

I was talkin' about King of Fighters XIII brah.
Well get 2K2UM, then! I know you have it, the little friend ranking thingy says you do.
Does 2002 have Ramon and Vanessa?
Why yes, it does!
I know what I'm buying next :3
Same as NGBC. So, good.
Fuckin' A.
I'll probably be downloadin' it by the end of the week.
Well get 2K2UM, then! I know you have it, the little friend ranking thingy says you do.
It's a guarantee that you'll drop my ass, but I'll try my '98, 2002, and XIII teams on you.
Ah, my bad about yesterday Shmeck.
For some reason odd reason, the Xbox Live disconnected (or some shit) and I was mad hungry and watched new South Park and stuff.
PS: Yuri > Boss characters
Rugal and Geese > Yuri. That kick is ridiculous, though. I gotta stop trying to be flashy with Geese, it's getting me in trouble.
Cheap as they are, I kinda wanna learn the Zeros…
It's clear that Yuri Sakazaki is better than the Boss characters because she almost OCV'd them.
Twice.
…while using a 360 controller.
I love that stupid young and loud bitch. :wub:
I just gotta get used to how that kick is set up in 2K2UM. I never remember her mule kick having so much priority and invicnibility frames. Shit's crazy.
Haha! Hell yeah!
Crazy enough to fuck farting douchebag's, "so amazing" nigga's, Geese's, and Omega Asshole's couches up!
King was kickin' ass too!
I really hope Mai is godlike in King of Fighters XIII. She's so fucking terrible in '98, 2002, and NGBC.
My Official King of Fighters 2002 Team
Thanks Shmeckie! :D
King's boobs bounce, lol.
When I first plaid AoF I thought King was a dude….until her shirt ripped.
King's boobs bounce, lol.
I won't even lie…
I JUST realized that shit less than five minutes ago.
When I first plaid AoF I thought King was a dude….until her shirt ripped.
It happens again in King of Fighters XIII. lol
Too bad Mai is the only teammate that won't have ripped shirts… :ninja:
Why are her arms so inhumanly skinny…?!
Also, next time we fight, I gotta use that K' in-the-corner shit I didn't use before. Why I didn't, I have no idea. Maybe I was high.
I'm just going to kick/venom strike/chop the fuck out of you again.
That's fine. I'll just constantly remind you what Rugal's shoe polish tastes like again! :D
…and I'll remind him what color the sky is.
Oh, he'll see it when he flies up there to cut your ass in half with a Genocide Cutter! >:D
…or I could just remind him how the dirt tastes like.
I played some of 2002UM over at Shmeckie's place today.
I've decided officially that I love the hell out of Joe Higashi.
How's the netcode for 2k2? I've had a few friends complain about it, saying it was really bad, making even recovery rolls an unsure thing. Is that true?
Would your friends happen to be the OCD nerdy type that sees lag where it does not exist? Because no.
If the ping is under 90-100, it's smooth as butter. 90+, and it's relatively smooth, but your moves will fuck up from time to time. 130-200, and there's noticable delay. 200+ is where you're fucked and no idiot would play anyone with ping that high anyway.
HAHAHAHA YES!!!
Wiki has the plot and ending of this game. Love it!
! The game takes place after The King of Fighters XI. The fighter Ash Crimson has absorbed the powers from two of the descendants of the clans who sealed the Orochi away 1,800 years ago, Chizuru Kagura and Iori Yagami, while Kyo Kusanagi is to be his last victim. As Elisabeth Blanctorche prepares to stop Ash, fighters receive an invitation to another King of Fighters tournament hosted by a person labelled as "R".[9]
When the winning team enters the Rose Stadium at the end of the game, Saiki puts his work into motion. He freezes time and he and the rest of the members of Those From the Past confront the winners. Saiki tells the other members to complete their tasks but Mukai requests an opportunity to engage the winners on behalf of Saiki. Despite being a show of loyalty, Saiki is perturbed by Mukai's insubordination and coldly kills him by absorbing his powers. Then Saiki transforms into his ascended state and the fight begins with the winners. Saiki intends to use the energy expended by the winning team to enable him to cross time. However, as the fight rages, Botan notes that the gate that links them to the past is starting to close despite the battle. Before Saiki can act, he is ambushed by Ash Crimson, who steals his power. It is revealed then that, while Ash was enlisted by Saiki to obtain the Three Sacred Treasures to power the time gate, Ash had no intention of helping Saiki. Ash is suddenly overtaken by Saiki's persona, who then attempts to cross the time gate in Ash's body. The winning team pursues him into the time gate and the final battle of KOF XIII begins inside the time gate with Ash's corrupted form. Saiki is defeated in the gate but persists on crossing over to the past, believing it means nothing since he can return to the past and then cross the gate again to attempt his plan anew. However, Ash halts his attempt and allows the gate to close, leaving Saiki trapped in the present. Furthermore, Ash reveals that he is a descendant of Saiki. By locking Saiki out of the gate, he denies Saiki's existence in the past and forces his own existence to cease. As Ash vanishes from the living world, the flow of time resumes, just before making amends with Elizabeth who recognizes Ash's sacrifice and mourns, holding his head band, the only thing left of his existence.
! FUCK YES I HATE ASH CRIMSON!
The KOF plot and characters were awesome until 97.
How did we get from that to F*CKING ASH CRIMSON, probably the biggest asshole in the history of fighting games, being the main protagonist + the main antagonist + the most powerful fighter, all in one?
He wasn't the most powerful fighter, just extremely cunning, and possesing a power-stealing ability. And Saiki was the main antagonist of this arc.
Ten bucks says Adelheid gets a prominent role in the next story arc.

Didn't he beat the shit out of Chizuru and Yori?
All he did was steal their respective powers. It's never said he actually beat them down.
I love KoF's cast. It's my favorite overall cast from any fighting game franchise. Hinako is still a character I'd love to see come back, just because you don't see any female characters out there like her. I mean sumo girl? Oh fuck yeah.
Likewise I also, to be honest, like Ash Crimson. He was a very different kind of "main character" and I found him rather fun to play.
In addition to Joe, I kinda like the Art of Fighting characters myself. Which is funny because I hate The Art of Fighting.
And yeah, Hinako is great too.
Despite the constant "transsexual jokes" Ash received, I thought he was pretty cool looking.
I love Mai, but damn she fucking sucks.

By that you mean looks like a fruitcake.
Which, of course, makes perfect sense that an alt. color of his makes him look like the Joker.
I love Mai, but damn she fucking sucks.
What the hell? No she doesn't suck. While it is true that she was much better in Real Bout she is still really good in KoF….she just keeps get shafted.
Oh, and her moveset doesn't change much.
Mai IS kinda lame, though. Fuck that fanservice shit, she's a one-note character with a boring fighting style who contributes little-to-nothing to the plot. Not just in KoF, but she was largely background noise in Fatal Fury, to boot.

Agreed on this whole thing. And I still say you could take half the teams in KoF, and make an entire 25-episode anime series about them, and it would be awesome.
This is my King of Fighters XIII team:
Which is known as "The Women's Team" in the game.
However, only two of them are badass and one of 'em is young as hell.
Guess which one (the third one) is only there for complete fanservice, is used to hype not only the Japanese, but the Americans (Check the English KOFXIII site) as well, and already put in the bottom tier on King of Fighters XIII.
Come on now, how is that even a practical fighting stance?
I mean, at least Yuri and King look like they know what they're doing.
I've always loved KoF. Even imported UM 2k2. Sucks how SNK has kinda told PS3 owners to go eat a dick, I'd love to support 'em - I have every game since '98 all sitting pretty on my shelf. (except the MI games because fuck That, and XII because FUUUUUCK THAAAAAT)
King is my Queen. K' is my King.
And Vanessa is my waifu. YEAH, I said it.
