Because I can't figure out MAME...

Mame is simple. What are you having problems with on mame? Make sure you set your rom directory in mame then press F5 to refresh the mame list.

Figuring out the controls and the fact that most of the ROMs I download don't work.

Maybe I'm getting them from the wrong place?

[PureYeti]

Press tab to configure the controls in game and you sure you download the neo geo roms in the mame section?

[marchefelix]

By wrong place I meant wrong website. Of course I would download them from MAME! Though I've never tried it...

The ones that don't work are other ROMs I've tried downloading.

What about FBA then? Doesn't take up as many resources as mame does and pretty much all the SNK games work on it.

FBA? Is that another emulator?

[Nocturnal]

Yes. Final Burn Alpha. It's what GGPO uses.

What would you guys say are the most important things a beginner has to learn when trying out the game for the first time and who may try to take it seriously?

Learn the game engine first. Things like Just Defend, Guard Cancels, Breaks and Feint Cancels. Terry is probably the best character for anyone starting. Since he relies on his FCing for combos and his break is used a lot for combos. Once you understand how those things work then you can move on to another character. The next best character to use is probably Grant since he's so simple to pick up. He also doesn't have FCs and mostly relies on links for combos.

I'm down any day :D. Terry is actually pretty good vs Kain. Both have guard crush options that lead to big damage. Overall Kain does have the advantage in the match but it depends on the players skills when they play each other.

Know of any Freeman players I should look up and any advice about Freeman vs Kaine? One of the matches I have the most trouble with.

Off the top of my head: Yoshimizu, Kinnoji, Mayu/Maru and Wata are the ones the check out. Here are some quick videos to check out.







Freeman vs Kain is a tough match up. It depends how the Kain player is playing. If he's playing offensive you have just out poke him or GC his attacks when he tries rushing. If he just plays keep away with fireballs and things like that then you have to just try to get as close as possible to stay on top on him. Freeman's block strings are very strong once he gets inside. If they are playing defensive then you have to just bait his GC charge kick attempts. Again it all just depends on what style they are using Kain and what style you are using Freeman. Just try to bait out his charge kick when you get close cause 99.9% of the time Kain players will use charge kick on wake up.

I was just calling you out to be a jackass lol but I'd love to any time. I'm trying out a new grip, and I need all the practice I can get.

[Nocturnal]

I knew you were. I'm down to play whenever. We can play some RB2 also after or whatever else you feel like messing with.

[marchefelix]

It seems DC likes RB2 more than Garou...

Makes me sad 

But each to his own.
