I was thinking the same thing. I've always played fighting games but never truly played them the right why until SF4 series. I was like 16 when CvS2 came out and played it night and day.

Oh nice. hahaha I was like 9 years old or so maybe 10 playing it in like 2002 or something. Now I'm just an AE monster wishing and hoping for GGPO to be like hey a shit ton of people will buy this game and it wont die like skullgirls or Third Strike and still play it if we just update the game with modern features. ugh. GGPO Y U NO DO DIS

I mean.. yeah i think this is probably the best fighter of all time.

@neogeomaster This is false, watch JPN players mostly use SNK and completely destroy most top tier capcom chars, people are just too used to the capcom chars by now to know how to react to them.

@neogeomaster Haohmaru and Hibiki makes some troubles in this game

Lol

Ikr

But even more I wish for Capcom vs SNK 3 😊👍

+Johnny Marvéll 😂😂

There was a side tournament this year

Side tourney for evo 2019

Lol, I think they'll patch it soon. You just keep waiting

Patch it yourself.

They patch it yet?

@@manofculture4228 Yeah

nice

it went downhill after street fighter 4

Indeed.

HakuGman this game was good because of a couple of things, guard gauge. Guard gauge insures that people play more aggressively. Also having semi broken characters also makes a game fun to watch. Coupled with how quick the rounds are. Plus the mechanics, like rolling, and custom combos let the players play to their liking

the only thing i didn't like was that you could kinda feel some Capcom's clear bias to it's chars, they were more priviledged with hitboxes and what not - courtesy of SFZ series playabilty -... while most SNK roost felt in disadvantage - not that they plain suck or that they're plain umplayable even in tournaments - ..... and EVEN THEN it wasn't all that true, every single char is playable in this game with the correct grove and enough skills - Iori, Vice, King ftw -.... damn i still LOVE this game....

+VixXstazosJOB let's not act like God rugel couldn't cut stomp any off the capcom cast

next year actually? lol

+Benji Vazquez already out

Lol, dude... I literally said this 10 months ago.

Lol man same here xD

+Psychoblue well they are that quick in SNK games

+Joeyjoejoejoejoe Yes, but they don't make SF.

I do sometimes at my friend house played it like a week ago

tskitz me and my friend have it for game cube we play it here and there. It's really fun he has an all capcom team and I have an all snk team.

I just got the game 3 days ago. Im young as hell but love old fighting games

I do

i got this game in my hand today. can't wait to play it now :)

+pwncorperation I believe on average the Capcom characters were better, much like the Marvel characters were better in MvC2: they just worked with the game engine more effectively. You had the various specialists, but by default running with Blanka/Sagat/x was a pretty good starting point for most players.

ahh okay. That makes sense.

It was basically Blanka, Cammy, Sagat, Bison, and Vega for days. Probably because it was Team Roll Cancel Invincible.

+pwncorperation Some characters were just broken with the L-cancel bug and that's mostly a few capcom characters. So the characters that are not as efficient with the L cancel are not that viable in tournament and that's mostly SNK characters. With that said, you don't have to pick a Grove that will make you roll; you can pick K Grove. So imo, the best way to balance SNK is to fix all the bugs.

+neogeomaster How the hell can you say that about this game? The King of Fighters is a series I have been a fan of my whole life, but even I can acknowledge Capcom's good work. The CvS series and Street Fighter 3rd strike are on of the greatest fighting games I've played. and this is coming from an avid SNK fan.

MisterWarzard Daigo only used that team because Bas kept winning against him with that team. He knew very little about the team. His Vega CC was low damage, his Vega GC CC didn't have the last rolling claw, he had numerous missed opportunities to land his Bison CC... don't watch this video to learn how to play that team. Watch it for Combofiend.

+GunterJPN apparently he played that team for 10 minutes .. lol. How do people know that and is that true?

+MikeandIke12 +GunterJPN I doubt that, there's footage somewhere of him playing in Japanese tournaments with that team, probably before 2006 (when he was on the way out of the scene). Combofiend's k groove was excellent, very fundamental and smart rushdown. Interesting how he dropped Sagat after 06, when every Japanese K groover anchors Sagat to this day.

+MisterWarzard I think the last Evo that I went to was the first time Daigo used A-Groove (if it wasn't, I was at least there for his A-Groove debut). I was with the Japanese contingent everywhere, driving them around, translating for them, etc. I asked him why he was using A-Groove, and he said it was because A-Groove was too good, and he arrived at this conclusion due to playing Bas, the best A-Groove player in Kanto and the one he practiced with going into that Evo. By that point, Daigo was not playing CvS2 as much as before, so to make up for that, he was using the strongest characters. But compare Daigo's play vs. Bas's play and you will CLEARLY see that Daigo's knowledge of the intricacies of the characters is not as intensive. He is playing it safe, going with easier combos for guaranteed damage (clearest example is his Vega CC in the corner - a bunch of flip kicks vs. Bas's s.roundhouse launcher into jumping fierces).

+GunterJPN Didn't you have a site with a bunch of A-groove comboes, way back when? You still in Japan?

i do lol. andi love and miss it :(

Dude, it's fucking dope. Not funny.

***** i guess that makes us 2 that like good fighting games and card games, finding your user here of all places i mean lol

Yeah on Ps2 I had a Cheat CD that gave you infinite life Kappa, so I could unlock the Extra Mode with ease.Once you get Extra Mode the game is easy as you will be able to exploit auto guard and stuff. An with that you can easily Auto Just Defence the 100 man survival.

Everyone could hear the commentators there though. They can't go in depth without possibly influencing the players.

he played alpha so he is used to custom combos

@@betweentwotemples don't see that on this video... Daigo never do lots of results with this A team.

***** lol

Part of being really good at a game is knowing how to make other players not look as good as they actually are.

Bear in mind that this is seven years ago, and commentating has improved markedly since then. At this point I don't think there were any live streams so commentators really had to teach themselves and go based upon their gut.

to be fair if they talked too much, as well, the players would be too distracted...

Johnny Marvéll *This. Back then the commentators could be heard by everyone including the players, which meant they couldn't discuss things like strategies or lines of play because they might influence the match. They were a stage presenter.
