  1. ALRIGHT! I like this question. Suffice to say Arcades are dead... I have a badass one nearby, had ashtrays bolted to the side of the cabinets, they sell cups of beer, and have 50 cent hotdogs... but they do so poorly now, they dont get anything! I still have yet to play the new Tekken.

     

    Well Ill set up the invirons. Lets say I have beer and hotdogs, and you can smoke... just like my arcade here. Ok.

     

    Id have a few (top notch) pinball games. Probably no more than 3. Id have an air hockey table. Screw DDR. 1 Ultracade cabinet. (basically 50 or so old ass games in the ultracade cabinet) Ok id have 2 4 slot Neo Geo cabinets. Games for them... cant decide... 2 Tekken 6's, Zero Gunner, Darius Gaiden, 2 F Zero's linked, Area 51 or equivelent. a 4 player Dungeons & Dragons 2, Hmm I'll add more, or decide the neo geo games later...

    Yeah, there is also one downtown in my city, I don't know how they can stay in business. There were two, one closed a few years ago.

  2. Oh my... my friend played this religeously. Uhhh Cable wqas pretty sick, he would chain hyper viper beams all over the place. It was dumb. Sentinel... This game suffers from combo overload.

     

    Yea generally 6 hits IN the air is the max, on average, but therre are exceptions, like guile. Id lp, lk something like that, but drift into them and actually do an air throw, which was actually a grab, and heed drop them on his knee, where as you can ducking lk thhem and re-apply the popup... which was silly. Also... Cinder... i mean Iron man had an infinate air combo.... what was it.... a sh!t ton of jumping fierce punches???

    I see, is it possible to do a move such as the viper beam, while in the air? I tried to do it but Cable wouldn't shoot until he hits the ground.

  3. Until you get the timing down, I suggest you hold up while doing the combos. What game are you trying to get down? They are all very similar but some are faster than others.

    Marvel vs Capcom 2. I can do a max of 6 hits, and the enemy gets kicked down by a hard kick. I can't coordinate the movement keys and the buttons for attacking. Thus when I punch the enemy into the air, I can't jump correctly and press attack buttons fast enough at the same time. I keep cringing at the moment because time is so limited.

  4. Let's not put profit into consideration, otherwise many older games would not be profitable anymore.

     

    Since the total number of machines that a room can fit is limited, would you place more than one game in a series? Such as having more than one KOF games? Or even more than one machine loaded with the same game?

     

    Would you have a balanced number of lightgun/driving/joystick+buttons games?

     

    Balanced number of different genres such as Shumps and Beatemups?

     

    I'm just interested to see what everyone's tastes are.

  5. There was another game, where it's a VS 2d Fighter game, released by 1996 or earlier. I remember it by there was a scene where the two characters were fighting on a "boat", or a wooden bridge across a river. I remember the characters could jump pretty high, like in the marvel vs capcom series. It has six buttons, just like the marvel vs capcom series. And I remember the environment was destructible, like you can kick and bust the crates that's on the scene.

     

    Does anyone have any idea what that might be?

  6.  

     

     

    thats total B.S,

    Um, isn't that a bit rude?

     

    not at all.

     

    i was referring to your theory

     

    especially after looking back at SNK-Playmores extensive history of recycling sprites, so to assume follow up games with less of a roster would be absolutely absurd

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Fighters_XII

     

    Wikipedia says KOFXII will only have 20 characters, roughly half the number of XI.

     

    And if you count the characters in each game, KOF2002 has less than 2001, and so on.

  7. THe most interesting to play following somekind of story... is 97 .... in terms of gameplay and character design I like 99 so far... maybe it is because you can actually choose among 3 kyos to kick asses! Do you agree with me when I say that from 2000, ' 01 and so on.... the character design got worse everytime?

    I think 2000 is neat, and I like the character designs of 2000. But yes, afterwards, the game got uglier and uglier, KOF2003 looks a lot more pixelated and rough than 99. And the newest ones have rapidly shrinking character numbers, the next KOF after XII is probably going to have like 8 characters remaining.

     

    Didn't they just say that KOFXII is going to have about a HALF of the characters of XI? And XI has less characters than 2003, and so on.

  8. Is the game leathal enforcers II the one where there is always an old cowbowy breefing you, like telling you to keep playing, or that you are dead?

    im sure thats it but its a crappy gun game and not worth bothering playing.

    Yes, it is a light gun game.

     

    Is it really bad? I didn't play it, only watched people play it. I just found the western theme intriguing, like the Sunset Riders game.

  9. I think Rocky music helps in the training to get better.

     

    The more you play, the better you get, simple as that.

     

    Good luck.

    So even in the arcades, no matter how much you put in you still can't beat the game if you suck?

     

    If you can put in some credits and it goes over, its somewhat reasonable. But yes you can't beat the game if you're not good at it. There are DIP switches that the machine operators can set to set how many times you can continue or whether or not you can continue at all. Gaia Crusaders (another beat em up game) won't let you continue at all by default. So Unless you're extremely good at beat em ups, you only have one shot.

    I found the switch and turned off the continuation limit.

     

    Most games have default set to no limit.

     

    Thanks.

  11. Comprehensive List

     

    Just scroll through these, you'll find some nice gems.

    I checked them out. Thanks.

     

    Now for 2D vs games, are there any good ones besides street fighter, marvelvscapcom series and KOF?

     

    By "good" I mean well developed ones with a lot of characters (like the ones I listed above). I see that some really badly done ones has like 8 characters and the controls and game mechanics are all broken.
