BC mode is officially called MAX mode you know..

I know, I'm just too used to hearing it called BC mode

but yeah Xxenace I wouldn't worry about Max mode until you get a good feel for the game,try practicing hit confriming for now

[sibarraz]

How is the timing to cancel charge moves with leona?

I know that in max mode, you don't need to charge those, but still, they never cancel

[Xxenace]

thanks bros i appreciate the help

Leona's cancels are kinda at an "on hit" timing. You CAN cancel JUST as moves hit, and get the white body flash (Like from Grand Saber -> Moon Slasher) or you can do the moves off of normals (like standing close c 2 hit (pushback a moment) b~f b; )

I haven't been able to reliably combo anything complex with her personally; I wanted to get all Moon/Grand/Moon like people do in XIII, too! XD Try doing her Grand Saber -> foward+d; followup -> (Supercancel) V-slasher to get an idea at how strict her timing has to be. (You cancel into the V-Slash right as the swoop from the previous move is near where her slashing hand is, in the super freeze... it's very strict compared to other cancels...)

Well, whoever got it early consider yourselves lucky. I guess Microsoft found out about it and took it off of the marketplace until the 3rd. Hope nothing stupid like a suspension happen to you guys who downloaded it.

[jinxhand]

I don't think that would be the case, as its something M$ did by releasing it earlier than the proposed date...

[sibarraz]

The modern warfare glitch doesn't work anymore too

I'm glad that microsoft fixed that

[Cibernetico]

To this day, has there been a concrete answer as to why the MW2 demo made some SNK games playable for free?

[sibarraz]

No, microsoft, Activision, or SNKP never explained why that happened, it was a glitch random as hell showing how unlucky was SNKP year, but seems that things are turning around for the company

At least NGBC and SKYSTAGE doesn't had this glitch, but 2002 was supposed to be released before those games, so maybe there was an error from SNKP, or just a big coincidence showing their bad luck

[jinxhand]

I don't know if this has been answered already (but I've been searching) but what is the "actual" difference between regular UM and the Tougeki (SBO) version, and which version is on xbla???

And as far as tourneys go, what are the official rules for this game (including who's banned)???

Nobody, boss doesn'tcount

[jinxhand]

Dope, SNK you've done well... Now we gotta wait and see how it plays online...

Man that sucks for Heidern with the slower charge startup. Most people I talk to say that he's good, but not as great as he could be... I'm checking out some match vids to see this potential... I'm actually starting to learn characters I've never played the last time I played vanilla 2k2... Man, I was really hoping I could use regular Geese in tournaments... Oh well...

If KOFXIII doesn't make the EVO cut for whatever reason, here's hoping that this will...

[Dr.Faust]

why did they take down 2k2 from the xbl

[krazykone123]

why did they take down 2k2 from the xbl

Temporary leak, it's official release isn't until November 3rd so you'll have to wait until then if you didn't already buy it beforehand

[sibarraz]

It's me or in this game is way more easy to do combos in max mode in comparission with OG?

Is that or I'm understanding better the cancel system, at least now I learned how to do a 70% damage with andy : )
