bad ....!! maybe 97 ?

[Earthenwright]

Dat 98. @_@

November is gunna be a good month.

assuming the netcode will be any good which 99.9% chance it will be horible like USF4, KOFXIII, MK, and all the other fighters on steam.

i refuse to play anymore online with trash netcode.
its not like rollback netcode is a secret.
if fighting game companies...ie, japan...continue ignoring rollback netcode as the ONLY way to program a fighter then there's no point supporting them.

I do not yet own KOF XIII, but I heard that the Steam port features very respectable netcode.

I agree that Mortal Kombat 9's netcode is poor; so poor that the game isn't worth playing unless you like taking on the CPU or another human in the same room as yourself.

I believe that the guys behind the Steam port of XIII knew about the desire for GGPO, It was apparently impossible to implement, I believe.

That said, I believe the Tencent versions of 98UM and 2002UM runs on rollback so it's possible we might get it on the Steam ports.

Dont Worry, Kof XIII Netcode is not too good as Skull Girls, but is the second best netcode of Fighting games on Steam. If you play with people from your country, there will be minimal lag

what about '96? anyway i love it!!! :)

[Chewie]

'96 was the series big shapelift, the first modern KOF. However, there are some things I really can't get over: scenarios far worse than '95, slow gameplay and that they removed all the classic moves from the AOF team :(

[Lilychi!]

At least we got them as EX Characters in 98!(And EX King in UM) I much prefer EX Yuri and King over the regular ones.

[Nachash]

Nice, 2002 UM was my favorite one on the PS2

Yes, EX AOF saved the day for '98.

Still, EX characters have only 1 victory pose, which nags me to death :)

Also, they managed to screw Robert even more when they made him a charge character. I think I have only selected him ONCE :S

[Lilychi!]

As far as I know, they got all the victory poses their original variations has in UM.

[MechaMakishima]

Great news! 98 is one of my fav fighters, and 2k2um is damn good too, day 1 for both.

[Eisenhorn]

day one for both!

[art vandelay]

Day 1 for 98 :) Waiting for 97
