NeoGeo Battle Coliseum? what the heck is that?

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum is a cross-over 2-on-2 fighting game by SNKPlaymore that consists of 39 playable characters (41 if you count the last boss Goodman, and the cpu only Shishioh/Red King Lion), but don't take the word "cross-over" lightly because this game is literally a bonafide mash-up with characters spanning from well known SNK universe's like "The King of Fighters" and "Samurai Showdown" to ADK series you never heard of such as "Aggressors of Dark Kombat" and "World Heroes"

It's available for PS2, and Xbox 360 for 800 MS points on the Marketplace (as of June 9, 2010)

What is with the glowing and extra bar below the health in this video?

I've watched that video over and over again and I still can't understand why they're glowing, it also looks like they're playing on a higher speed setting too

[Cibernetico]

I was talking to someone on a stream last night and this game came up on our discussion. According to him, the Xbox Live version of the game is a bit slower than the original version when it comes to execution. he told me he felt like he needed to input commands maybe a half second slower compared to when he played the game at the arcade.

Is this true or is this person full of it?

[Remxi]

I call bullshit.

[krazykone123]

The game itself runs just fine, even during online play with capture card the game hardly slows down

His tv probably lags

[Nocturnal]

Game feels fine to me. I didn't notice any lag on inputs.

Hey guys, just wondering if this game could be helpful for people trying to learn KOF 13. Like are there any similarities between the games or are they too different for a comparison like that?

[nilcam]

From what I've read, 2K2UM is the closest to XIII in regards to system.

[SAB-CA]

Hey guys, just wondering if this game could be helpful for people trying to learn KOF 13. Like are there any similarities between the games or are they too different for a comparison like that?

The one standout oddity that NGBC shares with XIII is that you can actually follow up sweeps with swift "anywhere juggle" moves. (Like Yuki's Sweep->Buffed Submarine Screw, for example).


The second similarity would probably be, for me, the robust use of command normals. You'll find a good deal of Weak->command combos here, and a bit more comboability off them than in most KoFs.

2002UM seems like the preference, however (Kula and K' are almost transplanted directly from 02UM to XIII, BC mode = HD mode), but it's harder for one to get there hands on that... (-_-; (Hurry up XBLA port!)

[Cibernetico]

Always wanted to know, but which version of Geese is in this game? Is it his regular KOF version or some FF version of him?

[TornAparT]

How do you know if you have successfully done a just defend?  Ive been trying to do it but I still cant seem to get it.

[Gravelneed]

When playing against King Lion, he keeps doing a move not in the command list. He slides across the screen, then does two kicks with the same blue energy around his feet like in his punch super move.

Does anyone know how to perform this?

[Remxi]

Are you talking about CPU King Lion? If so, that move is exclusive to his boss version.
