Meet & Greet / Re: Greetings from Bahrain

I really didnt think that i'd find people here who knew about Hokuto no ken, I'm really awed and happy; it didnt really get any attention in the US and if an anime doesnt get attention in the US most likely it wont do good but Hokuto did well in Europe and Japan. For me Hokuto no Ken is my favorite anime; I like all of the characters I dont think their is anyone you can hate but Souther is my favorite.

This Avatar is from the new OVA(will not really new 2005 it was released) the OVA had really awesome art but some parts of the story was missing; hated that.

Thanks guys for the nice welcome,

Solidshark:
 it seems you have great taste because you like my avatar  . Not many people know from where it is or who he is. Well me, my brother and some friends are playing KoF XIII regularly but I dont think the online would work for us here unfortunately; I dont mind trying.

I hope I do have fun here and learn from this great community.

BioBooster: 
Yeah me too I didnt change the game since the release  . Well I am hoping that SNK will make a good netcode like what BB has.
I will try and contribute in the threads, thanks.


Jinxhand:
You where in Bahrain oohh man when was that I bet it was for the F1; yeah I wish we had met when you where here. Yeah there is a causeway connecting KSA and Bahrain but unfortunately I dont know anyone from there my brother know some people from the UAE.


To say the least fighting games are thriving here in the Middle East, there are players here who play KoF XIII and are really good at it especially in the UAE. Unfortunately its not as popular as SSF4. If they just knew how KoF XIII is a much better game.

hey guys,

I've been a lurker in this great forum for quite some time now and at last i'm going to introduce myself. Well I'm a 23 year old male, I come from a small island in the middle east which is called Bahrain, maybe some know it. I've been an avid fan of fighting games through my life but never really got into KoF I was more like a SF fan back then even though that KoF since 94 was really famous here in Bahrain we had a really good arcade scene here, had almost all kind of fighting games. Believe it or not we have pretty good players here.


For me the last great fighting game is SFIII 3rd strike, that's until KoF XIII came along. This game really did revitalize fighting games for me; BB is a good fighting game but didnt really like the cast. When KoF XIII was released it was like the end of a drought, it is for me a revolution since 3rd strike. How did I come to know KoF? my friends are KoF fans since 94 and recently before KoFXIII came out I was playing KoF2002um; from there the love was building up. What I loved most was the mechanics of the game.


Even though KoF XIII is the best fighting game (for me at least) it's dying here in Bahrain; I dont know how it's doing in the Middle East. The reason that it's dying is that we dont have a arcade scene here anymore it's extinct and the netcoding of the game im sorry to say is awful, it's completely unplayable here. The only way we could play here is local games and we have a very social community here in the Middle East but we cant get any experience and we cant grow as fighters like this.


All in all I hope SNK does something about their netcoding because we played BB perfectly I could play against players from all over the world, SSF4 netcode was decent also. Comparing both games to KoF XIII, there is nothing really to compare KoF XIII is by far a better game especially better than SSF4.


Thanks for this great forum and this great community keep KoF alive guys I think it's the future of fighting games.

hello guys,

I have been a lurker here for some time and i would like to thank this community for everything it brought and for sticking with the King of Fighters. I am a fan of 2d based fighting games since i knew them (since street fighter 2); its a great feeling to see them back again.
