Title: Kizuna Encounter
Post by: marchefelix on May 03, 2011, 03:24:59 AM
Another fun game I've been getting into.

Question: is this the first fighting game ever to implement tag battles?

Also, I saw some videos of Dark Geese playing this. You play a bit of everything, don't ya?

Yes I do!! I still play it actually..just hard to find people to play it with. Before NGBC this was the real tag game (first SNK one) !!!! Kim Sue Il is the best character in the game, King Lion is high tier, Rosa is high tier too..


That's your top three in the game.

Fuck! I LOVE this game. Another criminally underrated SNK game that no one plays for no real reason. It could be best described as MVC 1 meets Real Bout and Samurai Shodown. Probably my favorite tag fighter of all time. Beats the shit out of Capcom's efforts in my book.

Kim being God-Tier is annoying but he can be defeated. My team is usually Rosa and Mezu. Fun game and I tried to get it on GGPO along with Real Bout 2 but well, we all know how that worked out...

I don't believe it is. It is on Supercade though.

u can play it on supercade
i prefer the prequel (Savage Reign), but i must admit that K.E. is pretty fun too (as long as u dont find ppl who use the secret chars (the two bosses)).

Haha, I played a dude who used the boss version of King Lion. He's beatable though, really tough, but beatable.

I could've sworn he was called something else...

Whenever I play vs. mode, his name comes out as "Kim Young Mok" :/

As one guy one the internet about me: "You seem to be person who intrested about unusal aspects in games" But yeah, want to see what kind of tag fighters there were before awesomeness of KOF XI.

What are the times you guys are up for this on Supercade? Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and Ponder will ad this to GGPO 2.

kim is the fucking man, same for the new chick. lion is also very good like dg said. i hated the fac that this game never came out for neo cd, only played it at the cades and on emu backk in the days. shame really, and whats really surprising about this greqat game is that its predecessor was one of the worst piece of shit games ever created by snk, savage reign. man was this game bad, think horrible controls (aof1&2) combined with shitty gameplay and weird ass engine gimicks. and i do own that one of neo cd, and man was it hard to beat in 1p. i think sr and aof1&2 are best polayed against the cpu, the engines are soo bad that 2p battles just dont do it.

I think Kizuna Encounter never took off because of the limited proliferation of the MVS carts, and no actual port to mainstream consoles. A real shame.

also shitty character designs. no interresting characters at all (maybe 2 or 3 at most).

Shitty character designs? Really? You didn't like the old guy who could Hulk out? The chick with the sword is pretty bad ass.

kim is dope, sword chick as well, hayate was cool if he was also in KI i dont even remember. most other characters sucked ass imo. clown, cop, ball chick (is she in this one?), wrestler and those crappy wannabe nins (the collest one of them is the boss one).

also if people enjoy SR let them, the fact i find it a crappy game doesnt mean others cant enjoy it. its just not a good game imo.

I actually like the clown. As far as Killer Clowns (possibly from Outer Space) in fighters are concerned, he's definitely a favorite of mine and he's got a good mixup game. 
Title: Re: Kizuna Encounter
Post by: MUSOLINI on June 03, 2011, 06:59:05 PM
why shouldnt you? i dont like him, thats me. also you like SR or just KI, personally i cant stand SR, for all the previous reasons i already mentioned in the post above.

Savage Reign is not Bad but is a really forgetable game

Kizuna Encounter is much better, and I really enjoy it, but is nowhere near as good as FF, samsho or KOF

Still, I liked some designs from it, rosa and hayate are really cool designs.

You are. To be honest the only reason I play Savage Reign is because Carol isn't in Kizuna Encounter. But Savage Reign is a lot of fun and I really love how weapon attacks and plane shifts are handled. And the Character Select theme is just too nice. I'd say if you haven't played it yet playing it once won't hurt you and you might find something you like about it to keep playing it.

Is Carol the only character from Savage Reign that's not in KE?

Along with Carol, Nicol is the other character that didn't appear in Kizuna Encounter.  I too would have loved to have Carol in Kizuna Encounter.

I played this online quite a bit. It was a really fun game. There was even  a code to use Shin Shishio for versus or story mode =D  I didn't like the tag team mode cause I only liked 1 character... so my player 2 was usually a character I didn't wanna learn much of..

Yeah, I caught your Youtube uploads. Good shit.

If this isn't on GGPO2 I'm going to try to get it on. Seriously, I love this game so much I'd fuck it. Hard.
