Do you all buy yours from the states? I live in Canada and its very difficult to find a shop that will sell you dreamcast for a cheap price.

Thats awesome man, thats exactly how I felt when i first got my dreamcast.

You said it brother. The professionals will kill you 6 times before you hit the ground. (Figure of Speech)

Man, I would love to live in a land where the DC's are 20 bucks. I would buy 3 of them if I could get that kind of offer...plus a controller or mem card? Thats just paradise man.

Punching and kicking isn't the problem. Its the run speed and landing speed. Plus projectile attacks such as iori's qcf punch are too slow. I understand that you can change the speed but it becomes a bit too wacky. Plus, you aren't supposed to play in those settings because at the arcades and tournaments...you have to use the default speed.

I didn't want to include last blade 2, samurai shodown or fatal fury for a few reasons. 1. The poll would've been infested with SNK licenses and it wouldn't be fair for the other choices. 2. Although, these games were awesome...most of them are not very popular in the home market and they are very hard to find in arcades. These games were only released on the dreamcast and neo geo...so, not much people have them. 3. I forgot.

I don't really know if this poll or question has been asked before, but here it goes. I would like to know what you guys think is the best...absolutly king of fighting games. Below I have my personal opinions for each game. --King of Fighters 2002-- This is my favourite KOF game ever. I actually wished that EOlith would create the next king of fighters. Sure they did mess up big time with KOF2001, but oh man did they make up for it. The max mode introduced in kof2k2 opened up a whole new way to create and link combos together. The music was a vast improvment over 2k1 and the speed of the gameplay felt perfect. Also, it had a vast amount of characters including evil orochi characters and clone kyo. --King of Fighters 2003-- SNK returns to what they do best...making great fighters. Although I truely believe that this was a great game, i don't think it stacks up to kof2k2. I actually got bored of this game a few times i went through it. Its a really fast game and the AI is kinda stupid. I beat it so many times in one day that it lost its appeal. Its not a major improvement of 2k2, they actually went back in time and took 2000/2001 sound samples instead of taking them from 2k2. They even recycled lots of svc sound samples too. --Guilty Gear X-- Although I haven't played the first one, if the sequel is any indication of quality, then this game must be a classic. I can tell from the character line up and graphics that this is very similar to the GGXX. --Guilty Gear X2-- The mother of all fighters. Guilty Gear X2 has the best audio/visual in any 2D fighter. With its deep gameplay and unique characters, the game can't be surpassed by any other (IMO). Not only does it have a distinct movelist for all its characters, the production quality is very apparent. If you have bought the ps2 version, it offers more value than any other 2D fighter with hidden movies, story and mission mode, and other unique features. No SNK or Capcom fighter has ever implemented such value in their games. --Street Fighter 3RD Strike-- Possibly the best street fighter ever made. The new graphics sprites and liquid animation is a clear example why street fighter fans still love this old game. Although the gameplay is very slow, the parry system provides a lot of strategy and is difficult to master. The value of this game isn't great. There are only a few modes to play and internet is not availiable in North America. The music is alright but some stages have awful sound. --Street Figher Alpha 3-- My favourite street fighter! A huge assortment of characters are available and has great music to go with it. Its a very fast game and offers 3 different grooves to choose from. Too bad there is no dashing of sorts which makes the game a bit stiff. The graphics are so so but its on the old cps2 engine. --Mortal Kombat Trilogy-- I've only played mortal kombat 3 so far. I've never got into this game. But being one of the latest 2D mortal kombat games, it offers a bunch of characters and whole new fatalities. --Marvel vs Capcom 2-- Marvel vs Capcom 2 is a arcade hit to fans of Capcom. This game offers the speed and excitement of Guilty Gear and Kof 2003. You can do sick combos going past the hundreds. The game is great in gameplay..but no one can deny the fact that it has god awful music and can be a huge button mashing game. --Capcom vs SNK 2-- Capcom vs Snk2 is one of the best cross over games to date. It features an absolutly astounding cast of characters. Each of the SNK characters have been redrawn and given a higher resolution. With a sick techno sounding soundtrack, its a great game in the sound department. The only complaints that I have it that its ridiculously slow for a game with snk characters. Good thing on the ps2 you can change the speed --Darkstalkers-- I don't know much about darkstalkers, I've played it a few times but it was really boring. --SNK vs Capcom-- Another Cross over game, but this time its SNK's turn to do the dirty work. Svc is a great fighting game that offers speed and excitement to capcom and snk fans. The music is okay but the graphics are a huge dissapointment. It can't compare to CVS 2 in the music and graphics area. SNK does redraw most of the Capcom characters but some look better than others. Too bad svc chaos doesn't have too much value. There are holes in gameplay (collision detection/ no air blocking or rolling). And there isn't even a 3 on 3 mode...wtf? Another dissapointment is that the boss battles are hard to achieve, and you can only get the good endings from them. Plus, i think they should've made a better character select menu, the current one is a bit too...well, it makes the game seem to have very little characters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well my vote is for Guilty Gear X2....whats yours?

Well, what i do is this... I continuously input qcf until iori holds the opponent and does the final explosion. At this point, you do your last qcf and press AC and hold it. Try to time your last qcf and AC and input it as soon as his special ends.

Capcom vs Snk2 is also a very slow game. Good thing I can put the speed level to 5 in the ps2 version.

Well, it depends on how well you take care of your dreamcast. I still have a working genesis and i got it the first time it came out. You can get dreamcast for $20? In my area is like about 70-100 dollars (CAD) because they are so rare.

I would have to say Rise of the Robots. Anyone who has ever played this game knows what I'm talking about.

In my opinion, it is much much better. SF is way too slow, like most of capcom fighters.

Try extracting your zip file and find the p1 and m1 and rename them to the filenames that kawaks asks for.

You work pretty fast Agozer, I like that. You must be a rom maniac such as myself. Okay, im going to download them see if they work.

Thanks for the info agozer. The working street fighter alpha 2 (US) that comes with the graphics pack, i've downloaded it from oneminuteleft.com I don't know if it still exists though.

I tried and tested those svc fixes. I wouldn't recommend using them tho. Most of them don't work and it even screwed up my copy. Good ol backup came in handy.

Well, it just makes me kind of mad when I think of other people reading that review, and then they won't even give the game a chance. If you try it and then you hate it, fine, so let it be. But im worried a bunch of internet surfers are going to stumble upon that site and fully believe that guy.

There are snes games that need specific graphics packs to work them. I've downloaded the one for star ocean and it works flawlessy. Now there are other games that I've had a big fuss trying to find the graphics packs for them. I was wondering if anyone has or knows where to get them. Far East of Eden Zero Shounen Jump Momotaru Densetsu Happy Super Power League 4 Street Fighter Alpha 2 (us, eur, jap) Far East of Eden Zero I've downloaded the Far East of Eden Zero graphics pack at Dejap...but I can't use the program to fix the rom because I use windows me and dos is a no no on ME. Does anyone have a prepatched version of this game?

Lol, that site should be called www.weareawful.com First of all, this flocker reviews the demo...seriously now, how can you review the demo and expect the game to meet all your expections. Secondly, I could find about 10 reviews from reliable sources saying the complete opposite. Gamespot, IGN, Gamepro have all had good previews for this game. Third, this guy seems to hate Jet Li with his stupid comments and low brow jokes within the review. Fourth, he doesn't seem to adjust well to new systems. The new system for Rise to Honor is intuitive and provides its own gameplay. I honestly think that his crackhead doesn't know or have the mental capacity to write a review. He might as well write about how awful kof2003 was because of its team system. "Wha wha wha, this game is so dumb because you have 3 people and only one could do the SDM, this is so not like kof." Damn Agozer, my blood boils now.

To make your life easier, download and use Alcohol 120. Its the best program to burn images and create them.

Heheh, its pretty interesting how people complete video games. I've seen people who beat Zelda Ocarina of Time with 3 hearts, someone beating ikaruga with 1 life, and someone completing super mario 3 in 15 minutes.

I don't understand why people love kof98. I admit it was the first true king of fighters and its a great game...but seriously, you can't compare it to kof2002 or 2003.

Those 4 new characters can be achieved with the hack p1 at snkx.com I don't believe this fool released/dumped anything because I did download the stupid Jimmy svc chaos and it was exactly the same thing i had in the beginning. Don't you realize that he just patches the games and re-released them on Romman? There have been "perfect" version of kof2001, 2000, svc chaos etc, they are all exactly the same game that has been released before but this fool patches the games up and releases it as perfect.

I can't wait for Rise to Honor. Its a new Jet Li game that hasn't had too much publicity. I think its one of the most promising action games to come.

I don't watch a lot of tv, but I do enjoy watching anime. My favourite series of all are the Rurouni Kenshin. I've seen the 95 episode series and the 6 ova's. I really like the story and everything. Another favourite of mine is Escaflowne, which im rewatching again. Current series that I watch are Wolf's Rain, Naruto and Gad Guard.
