Probably old news to most of you, but I never knew

I had no idea that Heidern, Saisyu and Eiji were in Chizuru's KOF96 background. That isn't Karmen Kole I see, is it?

[Daaren]

I didn't know that
There's also Takuma between Saisyu and Heidern

Yeah, I mentioned this in my newer review of this game, although I must admit I didn't notice it until I had been playing the game for a while. I think my mind was probably pre-occupied with thinking about the fight *after* Chizuru... you know, the one against that cheap ass hurricane throwin motha fucka in your screenshot

You mean my favorite character Goenitz?

Thats me playing as him in any case.

[Kazuya_UK]

Hehehe, well Goenitz is a cool as hell character, it's just a shame that he really does suffer from SNK boss syndrome badly. It would be great if SNKP did a redesign of him and made him play more like a normal character. I'd love to see that, but I doubt it will ever happen

Goenitz in SVC has been toned down compared to his KOF 96 version but i must admit, he can still be cheap

[darkschneider]

I don't think Goenitz suffers from SNK boss syndrome nearly as much as almost every other KOF boss.
Certainly he has a cheap AI with the wind pillars, but as far as basic moves are concerned, he does have a crouch, 4 different jumping attacks, and 4 crouching attacks. And his normal moves (punching, kicking) do not take out as much as some other bosses do.

In contrast, Orochi, Krizalid, Zero, Ignitz etc just cannot compare. Although Rugal 98/2k2 certainly beats Goenitz in the animation department.

I really dislike goenitz's hard punch, it just sets him up to be attacked after it is easily guarded. (speaking as a player of Goenitz of course. I love beating people with the KOF bosses)
