Which changes will you want to see on Final Edition?

I want Brian to be better. I kinda like him and I see the potential in him.

From what I hear he's A tier now... But I was also told he was low as well, but after some discoveries with his combo and setup capabilities, he's considered stronger, but its very deceiving...

WTF?! People are actually using him?! He is kinda hard character to use, but hey, at least he has infinite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT7ypv43fwU

Yeah, he's slow but in the right hands, he can be all over the place... He has a good poke also... From my experience, the only issue with him is characters that can trade in their favor... The whole USA team is a pretty solid team imo...

Brian and Heavy D are very good characters on UM

Lucky is crap, but it seems than now in FE he is a better character

[jinxhand]

I don't see how Lucky is garbage... He has a bunch of mixups, and if he needs to create a gap, it can be done by jumping back and throwing an air basketball... Plus that serves as another setup if the opponent tries to tech roll and get aggressive... Even Capcom had to bite off of his kicks when they made Juri (j/k)...

Osmani mains Brian in 98UM...also that infinite only works on Goenitz trust me been tried that on others...

The problem is, that is still very hard to create this gap on 98UM, and he still has a very hard time with lots of characters in the game

But now in FE, it seems that he received enough buffs to make him a very capable character, where you really had to think about his potential mix ups

Someone said tall characters like Rugal and Krauser can be victims of the infinite also... Is it the hitboxes of certain tall characters that makes this possible??? I know for Goenitz he got caught on a backturned infinite, so I don't really see that as practical, unless Brian had a throw that made him get up backturned...

Rugal and Krauser can depending but it's a lot harder than people think to do that...

[desmond_kof]

I'd like to see the change from arcade to console for this game.

Both of his throws leave the opponent back turned, if I'm not mistaken. In 98 he threw them in the same direction, 98UM however, he throws them in the opposite direction depending on the throw.

Aside from the usual Krauser, Rugal, Geese, and maybe Heidern, who normally gives him a hard time??? I'm definitely liking his mixups and how he can break one's guard, although its not very quick... I feel like he can setup for throws easily, and he doesn't technically feel like a true "zoning" character-- more like a hybrid with alot of hit and run tactics...

I was thinking the same thing, with a good netcode, I'll dab into 98FE.   Something about 2k2 just doesn't feel right to me...I know I'm in the minority.

Hmm... I recently got to play KOF2002UM and I have a similar feeling. But to there are some cases in which an attack won't link even if it looks that it should. Maybe it's because I'm used to KOFXI juggle system, but I love KOF2002UM presentation, I hope they bring KOF98FE and KOF02UMTougeki for PS3/360 as DLC games or both in a Disc form for like 30 bux or so. I would buy that.

[Cibernetico]

The KOF2k2UM on XBL is the Tougeki version of the game.

Oh yeah, I forgot it was Tougeki version. But I wish it had the 3D backgrounds, they look great in the PS2 version. Maybe a KOF02UMFE should be nice to see.
