The King of Fighters 98/UM General Discussion Thread

[Zabel]

Are their any flaws with the OG98 port on the 98UM PS2 copy? Thinking about running a side tourney for CVS2 and 98UM/OG98 at Battle for Seattle.

Hmmm, I heard that the Orochi Saga port was the worst one for ps2, while the 98UM emulated version is pretty close to the arcade.

[Zabel]

Yeah I had the O. collection for a little bit, it was pretty bad. Had slowdown on certain stages and inputs were wack as hell, not as bad as OG2k2 or 2k3.

I dunno why, but this last time my love for KOF 98 has revived.

I'm trying to make my team with Ex Mary, Ex Yuri and Takuma, I thought to use Ex King instead of mary, but I dunno why I don't like those 3 characters at the same time

Well, I don't know how to play with ex mary, some tips?

After taking a rather lengthy break from KOF, I recently came back into the series with OG 98, my favorite KOF game.  Are there any plans to create a wiki page for OG?

Orochi Saga is bad, I can't do anything I want on 96-97 on the PS2 port, it's very very bad.

I had a question with EX mary

which is the input to use her command grab into a combo?

I thought that wasn't possible, but just trying to do another combo with the xbox pad I just pulled it

It was jD, sC (2), F+A, her command grab (qcf+c then hcf+c)

[Sanger Zonvolt]

So question, what are the thoughts on Orochi? Do people play him in casuals and tournaments?

Might just be my lack of experience, but he doesn't seem to balanced.

Goenitz on the otherhand just seems strong, but not ridiculous.

[sibarraz]

Him, Goenitz., O.rugal and O. Leona and Iori are banned

Orochi could just spa fireballs and you are screwed

Wiki says you have to do the input as qcb hcf A/C instead of two separate inputs. From my experience it seems to consistently come out if you do qcb + A/C qcb, hcf + A/C. Hope this helps.

I'm clueless as to how to fight Ralf. What beats Ralf Kick?

My team is Beni/Yamazaki, Kyo, Iori. I've been playing the cautious game against him. Should I just rush him down?

[sibarraz]

ralf kick is not that good I recall that was easily punishable.

bUT YEAH, YOU SHOULD RUSH RALF

[5thStrike]

Alright, thanks.
