Even if you're not planning on going, please vote and support the game you like before Melty Blood Actress Again takes it...and if it does then I would have NO problem with that, LOL.

Me as well. Saw it in action a few days ago; a slight improvement over the last. Hopefully it would also mean more are welcome to the idea of other fighters. But it's best to me if 2002UM gets it; people will see all the fun they've been missing.

Anyone know what the hacked version of 2k2 called 2k2 Plus consists of? Are there any actual changes to gameplay? Or did it just a fan change to sprites/backgrounds?

[Amedø310]

Did anyone make note that while running, you can hold   to maintain the run while charging an  , move or immediate crouch attacks.

It seems that you had unlimited magic bars

Yeah that works in all of the KoF games for the most part... That's how Ash can do things like command grab to qcf x2 +p, run while holding df, up + k to qcf x2 + k in KoFXI...

Thanks Nilcam for completing the character discussion ^^

[Nikolai VolKOF]

Man i'm having some serious problems stopping rush down in this game lol. I laugh but it's sad '_'; People are non stop jumping in on me. RealKim didn't let me out the corner once at all for like 10 games in a row last night wtf. I'm also having big time probs against Kulas, Baos, Namelesses, Jhuns and some Terrys. And wtf at EX Takuma spamming fireballs! Hard as hell to get past them. Anyways, just complaining. Happy New Years all!

[sibarraz]

Oh boy, when you fight against K' you will truly know what is really being screwed on your corner

And about ex takuma, I didn't know, his fireball are not that terrible, IMO in 98 um is worse

Anyway, today I had a 3 hour session witha chilean friend very good matches

[Ashspiralingblood]

Toxico from mmcafe posted "2k2 um on xbald live got patched again... This time supposedly it was for the best, and now the online isn't as bad as it should."
rejoice fans and get your arses back to kof 2002 um xbla

[jinxhand]

I'm on right now, and I didn't get an update notice or anything... Is it going to come, or is he just mentioning the first patch???

[Shinra Shiranui]

Most likely the first one. I play online everyday and didn't notice any major changes with the netcode or the new ping system(Still has an X or red bar when searching but can really be great connection or bad).

[Nikolai VolKOF]

Yeah i didn't notice shit. Haha thought it got worse for a second. Last night was the first time the game started flashing connecting on the screen in green while i was playing a laggy match.

[Cibernetico]

What do I have to do to unlock Ex Geese in this game? I thought I would encounter him on Survival but Igniz was the last character there.

[Shinra Shiranui]

To unlock Nightmare Geese you have to go to the Expert challenge mode and complete a number of challenges or you can fail countless times until it says "Hey lets just give em the damn character" and it unlocks him and the last challenge automatically. Also the last character in survival is Rugal
