Meet & Greet / Re: Greeting fellow SNK fighter fans

« on: January 08, 2011, 01:12:38 PM »

I'm glad that I found SNK fighter community. I've been trying to start conversation at ScrewAttack's forums, but damn the whole community is Capcom fans. I have also wrote reviews there and people have liked them, but I have only few readers there. In Finland fighting game scene is almost non-existent, so I'm having really hard time.

SNK Games / Re: Next updated franchise

« on: January 07, 2011, 05:04:10 PM »

I voted for Fatal Fury, although I want new game from every series

After KOF, Fatal Fury is my favorite SNK fighter series. I just love that plane switch system and the characters.

I've read that SNK was almost finished making sequel to Mark of the Wolves for Neo Geo, but they dropped support after that. I also read an artilce from few years back that they are going to use graphics that sounded like modern KOF games (XII and XIII). But they are going take their time making it, because there is so low demand for the sequel. I also heard that there would be new character, who is Joe Higashi's aprentice and she would grappler.

But I still hope that game would be released. And the plane system is must for that game.

Meet & Greet / Greeting fellow SNK fighter fans

Hello

I'm Custle. I'm from Finland and I'm 100% sure that I'm only SNK fan on my area so it is hard to find players. My first SNK fighting game I played was SVC Chaos and I liked it for some strange reason. My first KOF was 2002 and later I bought 98UM, but the my favorite KOF is XI. I also own Battle Coliseum, Fatal Fury Battle Archives vol. 1, Art of Fighting Anthology and Samurai Shodown Anthology. I like talking about fighting games, so don't be afraid to start conversation. And it would nice if there is other people from Finland, because I want know more SNK fans from here.

My biggest dream is to play KOF on some tournament, but for now it is impossible. Maybe someday...

King of Fighters XI / Re: What is general opinion about Kof XI anyway?

I had a friend who played XI with me. He is such an Smash Bros Brawl fan and he actually liked how fast and smooth the game was. He got bit angry to when I started to win him almost every and I told how to improve your gameplay (he jumped a lot and used only stron attacks). Because of that, he said "I never play KOF with you ever! Brawl is the only fighter I need ever!" Sigh... Such an shame.

Thanks for the info!

I played XI yesterday and played arcade mode with Kyo, Iori, Shingo (leader). I was so surprised how much damage Shingo does. And also how easy is to do quick switch to some other character.

Hello I'm new. I finally found SNK community so I decided to join here then.

I love KOF XI. I also have 98UM and 2002, but they just don't feel as good as XI.

My only problem with this game is that I just can't find suitable team. I play against CPU all the the time (I live in Finland and there is zero arcades here and not good fighting game community. To make things even worse, I live in little place and its population is 3828) and my friends played fighting last time in PlayStation era (or Smash Bros. Brawl... yuck).

So my problem is finding a good team. Main problem is the third character and choosing a leader. My preferred team is Kyo, Iori (leader) and Terry. Kyo rocks in this game, Iori is simple, but Terry's moveset isn't that good as in 2002. So I must choose another character to replace Terry. I'm a bit aggressive player that relies on simple combos. Kensou, Athena, Shingo or Shen are strong canditades, so what do you think about them?
