I can´t remember in what pre fight it was but there is one shot of kim where his eyes poped wide open and were mad white. LMAO with that one....would make a great sig sprite.  |

Athena really does look bad & her moves don't seem to really fit in the game imo. I was supprised to actually like Ryu more than Akuma in this game, he has some really effective specials. Ken is a great fighter as always but i think violent ken is kinda of a waste of space along with orochi iori, they play to close to their originals, they could have put in 2 totally different characters in those slots.
unlike in most sf games i actually really like dhalsim & even chung-li, they did a great job with them along with Demitri. Zero & Marspeople seem very out of place (such as megaman & his changing little vehicles in MvC games) They look totally goofy & out of place.

What character do you use and how do you play? What combos do you use ect...
My best is:
Akuma - I rush down with akuma cuz thats what hes best at doing...easy to do chain combos and high ones too. I corner trap people with air-fireball its so simple
Combo: j.air-fireball _ uf.air-fireball _ d.LK(x3) _ lk.hurricaine kick _ FP.Dragon Punch (or super dragon)
My Strongest is:
Chun Li - From playing alot of 3rd strike its easy to play as chun li because shes so powerful and plays the same as 3rd strike. Her pokes take alot of damage down and her kara throw is lethal
Combo: uf.LK _ d.LK (x2) _ qcf.qcf.HK _ f.FP

Mr. Karate is probly my fav. character, i don't have any special strat other that complete ownage ;D I just use all his moves sparingly and link up some tight combos.
On the capcom side i been playin alot as Demitri & Ryu, Ryu's specials are devistating and Demitri has some nice moves and a long reach

after playing extensivley, both in the arcades and in emulators  .. my rankings(not in order): my best chars are: 1. Shiki ~ weak, yet very much quick 2. Earthquake ~ stong and cool imho, very powerful if used wisely 3. Choi ~ i never thought he could be so... FUN to use ;D well, he seems to play better in SVC (as if there's diff in kof  ) and his Exeed move is teh shit!  4. Red Armerrer ~ truly, a worthy boss, he aint cheap, but he's good 5. Sagat ~ really quicker than his CVS incarnaton, suits his style my worst are: 1. Shin Akuma ~ he suddenly became gay and gained a "teleport frenzy" 2. Athena ~ err... practice dummy? 3. Tabasa ~ she's just too much... blech, no appeal at all 4. Geese ~ no change what-so-ever, at least his DM looks better 5. Goenitz ~ cheap as usual, he likes teh wind! and my Fave Exeed moves: 1. Choi -  2. Iori - 3. Dan - ;D ;D ;D |

I just stick with Ryu, Kyo, Iori, and Shiki. Need to start playing with Red Arremer and Demitri too.

For me it has to be Genjuro.
I love mixing up his 3 hit cardslash combo, and if exeed, turn it into his dragon punch or special.
He's pretty well ballanced.Not cheap at all and basicly a solid fighter that has....the best voice in the game IMHO.
On the Capcom side it has to be demitri for me.His dragon puch style move is a great linker and his range is long cos he's such a large mofo.
The man is 2 heads larger than Kyo, for christ's sake.
He's basicly my replacement for Iori,Kyo,Ryo,Ryu,Ken and all the other shoto guys.

Yeah, i totally agree on that,Goemon. I also was thinking the same thing...... While playing as violent ken it got boring...it's like playing regular ken only his specials have a different effect and his hypers finish differently. Same goes for orochi Iori...but we all knew that since KOF 97. |

I got to agree with about choi Buddhakun, he's really good & fun to use now. Hopefully snkp keeps his controls like that from now on.
Imo all the characters that have the lame "hold down for left/down for 3 seconds then right/up and button" should have their moves changed to semicircle moves, them maybe more people would actually use them, they mostly suck with those controls the AI only plays well with thoes types of charactesrs cause they can do the moves instantly.

Heh yeah that's the bad ending for every character. I figured my old playing style is sloppy so I organized it into different types: Style 1: Mostly use specials and supers and the occasional punch, kick, or throw. Style 2: Use basic punches, kicks and throws. Only use specials or supers when clean hit is certain. Style 3: Never attack first. Always stay close to opponent and counter with any sort of attack when opponent shows any movement. Risky but least predictable style. Style 4: Pure defensive. Block all attacks from opponent and attack only during their recovery time. Least effective style. Only really useful against mashers and combo fanatics. Style 5: Personal secret. I"m not telling incase you guys ever play me. Style 6: Any combination of the previous 5 styles by alternating them during the same round or match. Very often I just stick with style 1 but use style 6 on my friends now. |

Read earlier in this thread for the method to get there  Kaz |

Read earlier in this thread for the method to get there Kaz That sucks, I tried so hard to do what the guide says but I always lose in the 3rd match agaisnt one of the hidden charaters, I keep getting Demitri. Demitri is not NOT cheap to me, he is just very difficult to beat. Same with friggin Shin Karate, he just kicks my butt in just a few seconds.  Did anyone notice that the characters are a lot bigger than usual, especailly the backgrounds, they look really focal and close unlike the usual distant scenary's like in KOF's  |
