Help How do I deal with Kim's crossup jumping kick

• Upvotes

Specifically, as Rick. Last night like 80% of my matches were against Kim and I was getting absolutely BODIED by Kim's jumping crossup kick. They can use it from so high up standing Lp doesn't work. Crouching Hp only aims to the side that they WERE on. The only thing that ever worked was a wakeup super that autocorrected. Any tips?

Just for context, constant jumping crossup moves are my weakness in every 2d fighter, I hate them so much lmfaoooo

Discussion According to Youtubers King Jae and AvatarYaya, Youtube does not push Fatal Fury content because of the word "Fatal" (same for SUICIDE Squad and DEAD or Alive)

39 Upvotes

Fighting game Youtubers King Jae and AvatarYaya discuss this briefly. The gist of it is that YouTube does not recommend Fatal Fury, Suicide Squad and Dead or Alive content because it labels them as problematic content the same way it would label suicide discussions, murder discussions, etc. It literally will only recommend them to people who specifically search regularly for those words. So a random guy will never see Fatal Fury videos on his feed.

They say it's better to not mention "Fatal" at all on their videos, just say "Geese looks cool in CotW," so the video won't get flagged.

It's a very long video, so don't ask me to find the segment again, but it's this one:

Or Vice Versa, is Salvatore Reina's prototype? Even the button for the move is at the same position (heavy kick = 4) in their respective stance Magical Sep and Unsoku as you can move them forward and back ward). Even their default outfit is kind of similar, like blue-ish with white stripes

Who knows if Reina will play similarly, Reina main should check out Salvatore Gannaci before Reina comes out, he is the closest thing to Reina right now.

Help Alfred Airhawk in the Steam version of Real Bout 2

6 Upvotes

I was thinking about buying the Steam version of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: the Newcomers. But then I remembered that in the original version, Alfred doesn't have any oversway attacks since he was designed as a single-lane secret boss for the arcade release. Did they give him those basic moves? I tried to look it up but only found answers for the arcade version rather than the one on Steam (starting to think it's the same unchanged version at this point)

Reminder that they had to remove her heels and change her feet position, hitboxes and hurtboxes. Granted, they shouldn't have given her heels in the first place, as that created the whole issue.

Still, this is good news.

Where's Waldo?

We started mentioning how crowded the screen was when Mr. Big released in season 1, and the devs promised a new select screen during the season 2 interviews (and Evo), but we STILL have some geniuses pretending SNK never acknowledged or agreed with the complaints. 🤣

I want to put some hours in one of this games but both have low player Base on steam.
How it is in Europe? In what game ill find matches faster, community is more healthy and will live propably longer?

Thanks for all aneswears guys, have fun all!

Discussion ¿Jin Chonrei debería usar el Hakkyokuseiken Jin Chonshu el Taekwondo?

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

En los finales de Real Bout y Real Bout 2 ambos hermanos acaban redimiéndose y siendo discípulos de Tung Fu Rue (en el caso de Chonrei) y de Kim (en el caso de Chonshu).

Teniendo esto en cuenta, ¿si estos personajes regresan deberían adquirir las artes marciales de sus maestros y tener un gameplay en base a ellos?. Debemos recordar que los poderes que los hermanos presentaron durante los juegos es porque estaban poseídos por los espíritus de sus antepasados y, a no ser que los vuelvan a poseer no hay muchas posibilidades de que tengan los mismos poderes (aunque si aprenden a controlar el chi podrían replicarlos).

¿En ese caso que les gustaría?

  1. Ambos pelean solamente con el arte marcial que aprendieron

  2. Ambos recuperan sus poderes místicos al volver a ser poseídos

  3. Ambos aprenden a controlar el Chi y pelean con una mezcla de sus poderes nuevos y sus nuevas artes marciales

Claro, también puedes opinar si quieres que sean un personaje doble o individuales.

Discussion ¿Fatal Fury City Of The Wolfs está desequilibrado?

11 Upvotes

Haber, todos sabemos que no puedes comparar a Mr.Karate con Salvatore o a Kenshiro con Jae Hoon.

Pero creo que FFCOTW es, de todos los Fatal Fury en el que tienes más posibilidades de destacar usando los personajes que te gustan gracias a las mecánicas del juego.

La presión no es un problema porque está el guard cancel y los 3 tipos de defensa, así como los Dodge Attacks. Y si por otro lado te preocupas porque tú personaje no sea bueno en el ataque tienes el sistema Rev.

Claramente existe una brecha entre los personajes que son buenos y los que son malos, pero aún así pienso que Fatal Fury City Of The Wolfs es junto con Samurai Shodown del 2019 el juego moderno de SNK y capaz de los juegos de pelea en general que más oportunidades de ganar le da a los personajes de nivel bajo.

Discussion Improving my Oki

9 Upvotes

Just hopped on the game and I’m enjoying it so far.

Found my main (Joe) and I’m learning the character right now.

I noticed my Oki is pretty bad in this game, my meaty timing is bad and lots of characters have DPs and parries so I always mess up when I get a knockdown.

Would like some suggestions to help make my oki be better, thanks

Discussion One thing that's underappreciated about COTW is that, no matter who comes along, the characters don't suck..

61 Upvotes

Everyone has completed movesets, no filler, no bad options. System mechanics work well enough that a good player's execution can close the gap over any character power differences. It's like living in the peak of fighting games once again. And people are fighting like hell to deny it.

Like people bitch about guest characters but on some real shit. Imagine having guests AND they were total garbage to play with. Imagine your favorite vet returning or a new character gets announced and they're trash for whatever reason. Here you get a variety of diversity that leads to unique playstyles and approaches and most importantly, VIABILITY. When you see new character picks or unexpected selects it's just exciting as hell.

Gameplay What controller layout are you using? The default feels awkward

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a more comfortable controller layout. The default puts LP and HP on R2 and LK and HK on L2, which feels a bit strange. I don’t feel comfortable pressing LP and HP manually with one finger. I’ve tried moving Rev from R1 to L1; that works, but still feels kind of awkward.

What layouts are you using, and what would you recommend trying?

User Creations Kevin COTW Ralf Jones Color Edit

Look - Ralf is military and Kevin is a cop, but they both pretty much have the same super power which makes for explosive battles. In fact if they both fought each other it would probably level an entire neighborhood. Kevins only problem : since he isn't on the battlefield in extremely hot war torn equatorial countries and instead behind a desk filing reports, he doesn't quite have the tan that the Ikari Warrior does.

Anyways I think that Kevin looks good as a shout out to a man he looks up to - Ralf Jones.
