Permethium

Best one IMO: Super Streetfighter 2 - The new Challengers - it had everything i loved from streetfighter2CE plus new moves and characters. I must say that streetfighter alpha3 is also quite nice. I agree with alexis that the characters in the new versions of streetfighter looks like comic characters - alpha1 2 and 3 and streetfighter 3 Snk always kept to the same style of design tho - which is a good thing

what is the tech specs for the console? (anyone know yet?)

I can hardly afford ps2 games here where i live, so i don't think i'll get within atleast the next 2 years . tho i like the idea of the different ps3 packages.

Yamazaki is quite nice but, hardly one of my best characters for taking rugal on (or any of the kof bosses), i prefer using Kyo,K,Iori and Takuma when dealing with the bosses. offtopic- anyone know a program that i can use to record combos on my pc?

what about KOF2001? Im still working thru the moves and combos of kof2002? or 98 maybe?

nebula special040404 no what do u mean; no

Yeh, sometimes i'm too fast with the punch resulting in the 43hit combo and the pressing the button too slowly gets you the move where he slices up his opponent with his short sword.

Alot of geezers are in the SNK universe.. 2 teams or even 3 could be made out of them! I seriously think Tung fu rue would make a good addition to the KOF scene.

Maybe they should put lee(aof 1 and 2) and Jubei(fatal fury 2) in the next KOF and make a team with geezers hehe

yeah, it's like Vice and Mature in kof98. you should see the damage i can do with them (13-hit combo with Mature ) Kyo just rocks,because of the way his moves can flow into one-another. K is also cool. i worked out a combo where i do 5hit-combo damage and end of the maximum power move - so in effect it's something like 30+ hits in the end. does about 70% damage.

Good question. I liked him - and Geese Howard. that's what i did with KOF98 - Working on kof2001 now. Btw axl: are you using combo guides for the combos?

That's right. you need a Hacked nebula

while its bumped - might aswell add something hehe we had a unofficial tourney at the local arcade for kof98, man it rocks! it's better than playing networked FPS IMO. Taiwanese guys slapped the 5hit out of us that day. but still ,i would like to see more of that happening on a local scale.

Ya!! that would be great!! and also a sort of a full tutorial guide on winkawaks loaders

Man, I Was Leaning More Towards Kof2k. EDIT: But OK, 2k1, HEHE! kewl .i'll let you know when my conection is up and good! *ps: don't chicken out on me, you hear?

black isle studios would have been my first choice, but they're history now - so that leaves me with squaresoft ,sega or Snk

To play a well designed fighter is what i live for! games like King of Fighters and Marvel vs Capcom rox my world! I don't think i'm the only one that feels this way. Tell us about your favourite company ,what they designed and why you like it so much......

yeah, i also wanted to be a game designer since in school but the industry is way too competetive .you must really be a programmer whiz to make any kind of impact in that area. well, i could still dream can't i........

hehe, anybody want to take me on when i get my 128k connection going? (Kof98,99 or 2001) your choice...

Programmer/Graphic designer

But the real question is: Will they really improve it so much as we'd want them to? With history as a guide, no. But they will eventually have to use the Atomiswave power and think it'd be fitting if SvC2 was just all out new stuff. IMO they won't have any excuse if they screw this one up. They don't have the hardware limitations of the neo geo system anymore. So i'm expecting something really impressive - Whether they can live up to my expectations is to be seen.

well, i am going to install a 128k isdn card soon. what do you think? will i be able to play then? (I'm itching to kick arse in kof98 )

I'm guessing i'll need at least something better than a 56k connection?

I also thought about that idea alot, something like mortal kombat trilogy . Maybe they could have different versions of all the characters (like in 98 when you hold down the 1P button when selecting some characters - something like Kyo version1 94-98 and version2 99-2004 etc.) for once they could do it. i mean once in ten years - make a real special edition kof with all the characters and the backgrounds
