I played several guys on psn yesterday, and it's just like what bakaboy said.  The few people I played seemed to have never played a fighting game before.

Solid, you haven't encountered them so far, probably because kof is only available for free for north american PSN.

Yeah, they were giving them out randomly at summer jam.  I couldn't believe they made a disc 5 when I saw it.  lol

I think disc 5 is very nice and addresses my complain about the song selection in the original 4 disc soundtrack with the addition of tracks 1, 6, 7, and 21.

Lol, I only watched the embedded video and didn't see the video notes.  Is there a reason why you still use dd+BD in your combos (as shown in the videos) when dd+K is faster?

I'm having a lot of trouble against the Daimon match up.  I get zoned out by st.B.  It out pokes everything chin has, and it's hard to counter since it's fast and if you miss the counter he can dash up grab.  I can't jump either since Chin's jump is really floaty, and he can anti air easily with st.D.  Anyone has any ideas how to approach this match up?

On a second note, not sure if this has been discussed before, but I noticed that there's a difference between dd+K (kick stance) and dd+BD (kick stance cancel). 

Basically, when trying to link st.C into another st.C, cancelling with dd+K seems easier than dd+BD, because the kick stance dd+K will give you the 4 frame close C regardless of how far you are, and still combos.  Whereas dd+BD after a close C will give you the 6 frame far C, it connects, but the timing is tighter.

On the other hand, when trying to cancel quickie punches into st.C, using dd+BD is easier in my experience.  Anybody noticed the same thing?

What the other says, other than learning the normals, combos, and setups, I usually turn on CPU in training mode and practicing moving around, hit confirms on a moving target and get comfortable with the character first.  Then I will bring it out for casual play and try to incorporate mixups in the gameplay.

Yeah, they just released it recently, but was announced months ago.  I missed the news the first time around though.

p.s. You can download some high resolution art here:

SNK new game:  Garou - the legend of wild wolf double strike!!!
http://slot.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/garou_sougeki/

.....Don't get too excited yet, it's a pachinko game, but it's nice to see some new art for the fatal fury series though. 

They appear to have made some nice looking 3d models for some of the characters too.  Perhaps this will serve as a preview of what's coming next?!?

p.s. rumor has it that snk is working on a new title called "the king of fighters 3" to be released in September/October, but it's also a pachinko game......
