I've been putting in a fair amount of time with Takuma recently, and there is one problem I'm running into that I hope someone can answer. When I try to do the following combo:

-cr b, cr a, f + a, Ko'oh Ken/ Shin Keshin Geki / Haou Shikou Ken/  Ryuuko Ranbu

it seems that the f + a hit will sometimes cause knockdown even though it was combo'd into. My question is if this results from the timing required or just something I'm not aware of. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No. If the character that got knocked out had a happy face/angry face, then the next one gets extra meter/one less meter. This is why there seems to be no impact, meter-wise, if you put the angry characters last.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew it affected meter, just had it backwards.

From what I understand, the faces impact a few things. Those with a happier face are more likely to jump out of the back-ground to help you if you get caught in multi-hitting grabs, combos, etc. It also affects super meter from round to round. If a character gets knocked out and the next character in line had a happy face, I think they may gain a meter stock or something along those lines. The feature was removed in 98 UM, though.

Like I said though, I'm not 100% positive on that; if I am wrong on some aspect please feel free to correct me.

RB2 is easily my favorite fighting game out there. Its a real shame that its so hard to find people to play against though. Before 2DF became Supercade I did have the opportunity to play against Ghostpilot for a while; his Blue Mary was tough but I got slaughtered by his Franco. I was also lucky enough to have a great player (I believe it was Caddie) teach me the in's and out's of Geese when I was just starting out.

What's up? I'm Cory (aka Dingo). I'm glad to see a site like this pop up, hopefully it'll really help boost the SNK community as a whole.

Anyway, I'll tell a little about which games I play. I'm a pretty big fighting game fan, and was instantly drawn to SNK games after playing some of them. My favorites include Real Bout 2, KoF 98, and NeoGeo Battle Coliseum. I'm not too bad in Real Bout 2, though I'm not really sure how I stand in KoF 98 and NGBC. As of now, my internet connection is crap so I can't play anything online; but that will hopefully change in about a month or so.
