Yay for Real Bout. Hell da fuck naw on World Heroes.
Yay for Real Bout. Hell da fuck naw on World Heroes.
They better fucking have Garou: Mark of the Wolves in one of these collections
I'm pissed off that I still haven't gotten to play that
There is a Japanese PS2 version of MotW I think, so maybe they will bring that over eventually.
Well, there's always emulators Carter. Or if you have a Dreamcast, just burn it. But yeah, it'd be nice if they threw Garou on there as it's still probably SNK's best fighter to date.
Fuck emulators
I want a controller in my hand, and a disc in my system
At least one of the Real Bout games has WOLFGANG KRAUSER
Well, there's still that Dreamcast option Carter.
I like Real Bout 2.
Oh, and speaking of World Heroes and MotW:
Jack and Freeman are both red haired psychos from England who use slashing attacks. I noticed how they have similar intros where they wear different outfits and then slice them up.
I always liked using crazy characters for some reason (like Jack from Powerstone).
There's something deeply exciting about that.
My favorite part was Fuuma flying out but OH FUCK YOU WE'RE NOT DONE YET GET BACK IN HERE
I should buy the WH collection
If I remember correctly, that is like the "Level 2" version of his super. Normally I think he only does it once. But that's when he has less than 50% life and his HERO guage is up.
I wish some of the supers in WHP were easier to do though, because most of them are pretty impressive for their time. Some are easy, but other characters had some hard combinations (I remember Ryofu had a tough one).
I always liked Captain Kidd's:

Actually why not purchase one of those USB cables that allow u to use a PS2 Controller with a PC? They're pretty cheap if u get them off of Amazon. Plus u can even use PS2 Arcade sticks with the USB :P.
…and Krauser appeared in all but the first Real Bout games BTW.
Also didn't the DC ver. of Garou have audio lag or something?
My biggest gripe in Garou is that whenever I do a combo my timing gets off when the pause when ur opponent's life enters the TOP occurs. That's such a bitch.
@Kuro- Actually IIRC King has a veeeeeeery similiar attire and intro to Freeman's in AoF 1/2 (don't remember which).
@Freeman-12:

I don't remember any problems with the DC version. But I dunno, I don't always pay much attention to sound, so maybe there is something.

Was it G-Mantle? The masked guy with a cloak? I can't find any animated gifs of King from AoF to check, but he is one of SNK's mascot characters.
As for Freeman's intro outfit, it's not G-Mantle though. Supposedely (although I wouldn't know since I have never seen them) it's taken from the Halloween movies or something. The mask anyway.
EDIT: Here's G-Mantle, and yeah, it says King dressed as him in AoF2.
Another thing about emulators is my laptop is shit so I don't feel like ha ving to deal with a bunch of shitty lag.

Ah I see thanks for clearing that up for me. BTW something I kinda stumbled into- You know Erik from World Heroes (The viking)? I wonder if he is a refrence to that TV show that Oda watched as a kid that inspired him to make OP? I mean in one of his endings, his son's name is revealed to be Bick/Vikk. Just curious
Erik the Red was a famous viking and explorer
Yeah, most of the WH characters are based on historical characters (to some extent) and Erik is based on Erik the Red.
Oh, and years before Capcom used Son Son in MVC2:
Goku
!
I just looked on Fighters' Generation to re-read FRANK YAGAMI's hilariously dumb opinions on WH and its characters.
Muay Thai fighters are cool and all, but this one isn't… because he's from World Heroes.
Here's his quote in the "characters that look like each other" section for Brocken.:
EVERYBODY knows Bison came first… If you look up "rip-off" in the dictionary, you'll see a big fat picture of Brocken... Even though Brocken was also a character in Ultimate Muscle, even before Bison. But ohh well, he's still a rip-off one way or another.
I like how some characters are "inspired by" other characters, while others are inexplicably "rip offs" instead. So even though he finally realized Brocken has nothing to do with Bison, he's still supposedely a rip-off.
His World Heroes Perfect (which is actually a pretty good game in my opinion) review is laughable too. He gives one sentence saying something like "it's lame lol" and gives arbitrary ratings.
Yeah when I saw the line about "APPARENTLY BASED OFF OF BROCKEN JR. FROM KINNIKUMAN, BUT HE'S STILL A RIPOFF" in the Brocken profile, I immediately thought of you.
I also like how a GERMAN SOLDIER wearing a GERMAN MILITARY UNIFORM is a ripoff of M. Bison. THE GERMAN MILITARY WAS INSPIRED BY M. BISON IN DESIGNING THEIR UNIFORMS
I would like to see a new WH game one day.
Even people who hate WH liked the characters in NGBC (which is still kind of puzzling to me, considering they have the exact same designs, and only a few different moves).
I like World Heroes,My favorites are Mudman,Brocken,Fuma,Rasputin,J.Carn,and Janne
Slaps self KoF XI is out in the US now and good news; it's NOTHING LIKE THE PAL VER.!
Most of who played the game say that it's like the JP ver. but with GOOD English (BTW SNK got a company to translate the game so expect near 0 Engrish).
NGBC to come out soon BTW.
Awesome! i can't wait to buy it :D
Fighter's Gen, I check for news every month or so, and I like all the sprites, but it's kind of a garbage site.
It's a damned shame everything is closed today, I'd like to get KoFXI and a few other things.
Same here Bucc, I was hoping to pick XI up as well even tho I already have a burned copy of the Jap version. Was supposed to have it yesterday, but my bud decided to detour to another godammned Gamestop that didn't have the game.
I quite enjoy the english version of KoF XI. There's not much to say about it..but sans online capabilities, it's pretty much just a straight translated port of the JP version. Mission mode is still a huge pain.
PARRY 5 MILLION MOVES AS GEESE
I'd get XI if I hadn't already downloaded it
I order King of Fighters XI and Pre-Order Neo Geo Battle at Amazon.com on Sunday and Kof Xi came to my houseand the game is awesome,My characters are Tizoc,Duck King,and Momoko
Momoko is AIDS in fighting game form.
Where the hell is Chin?
Drinking sake'
16 Chins
Yeah seriously
he hasn't been in a game for like 10 years
Heidern too
When the hell are we going to find out more about XII other than "ASH IS BACK" and "TERRY WENT BACK TO HIS GAY 90'S LOOK"
Chin was in Neowave and that was made in 2005,It would be great if Heidern appear in more games,We would get more KoFXII information some where around 2008
I mean a game people care about
When this semester of school is over I might buy the US KoF XI. I know I want those SNK collections I still don't have (Art of Fighting and stuff).
@Cap'n:
"TERRY WENT BACK TO HIS GAY 90'S LOOK"
!
I knew that was coming
@Kei:
Momoko is AIDS in fighting game form.
I swear even though she's prob. my least fav. KoF character he damn cuteness is as deadly as ChopperMan's.
BTW NGBC should be out by next week I hear.
Momoko is fine. She's not overly annoying, she has neat hair, and she eats meat buns.
…and has a fetish for breasts.
@Freeman-12:
…and has a fetish for breasts.
What? She doesn't even have any to begin with….
I've been playing XI for the past week or two, and it's a lot of fun. My favorite SNK game is still Garou: Mark of the Wolves, though. Heh, when I play XI my most often-used team is Terry, Gato, and B. Jenet, with some Kyo, Tizoc, Kim, Mai, and DK mixed in for fun sometimes.
And if I had my way, XII would give us more MotW characters (Rock and Kimtwins plz), plus the long-awaited returns of Goenitz and FRANCO FUCKIN' BASH. That's all.
Momoko's intro vs. some female characters has her compliment about their breasts.
Also Goentiz will be in KoF 98 UM which'll come out Early 08.
I demand Wolfgang Krauser
FRANCO FUCKIN' BASH. That's all.
Hey, I was actually looking for animated gifs of him just today.
I never found any of his super moves from RBFF2 though (which is what I was looking for).
Oof, I did get that game like a week ago. And somehow forgot. It's pretty damned cool, though. As I figured, I stick to Ryo, Robert, and Gai. Working on getting that Silver guy and Geese.
And just so I don't waste hours of my life, is it actually possible to beat the end boss? I mean, shit.
Yeah it's very possible to beat Magaki. Although you may have to resort to cheesy tactics to win since he is an SNK boss afterall.
