It's Judgement Time!
I used to be so good at fighters. Not saying VS is a bad fighting game or too easy. But the controls are so loose and fluid. The moves come out easily, the ones you want to do. And I love some of the move sets that I'm given for my favorite character King.
Not only that but you have the ultimate fighting style. Rolling, running, Parrying, Air Block, multiple super moves for differant situations.
So the other day Im playing KoF2001 again and I couldnt do ANYTHING. I had to struggle to get any of the moves out and it left me open. I was still fine with King. But I used to be so good with Angel! (bulli bulliiiiiiii!) I could use her dash like *snaps* that. But nope. Either my controller is broken or I need to get an arcade stick. Cause I could not pull off her dash move. I know its a half circle forward with a kick. She just wouldnt do it. I got it off maybe once or twice but I spent too much time trying to get it off that I was getting my ass whooped on.
And it seemed like the block lagged on KoF. In VS that block comes out immediately when you press back if you do it just in time. I couldnt block half the times in KoF2001. It might be the controller. Im going out to buy a new one just in case to see if thats the problem.
But dammit. And I say 2001 because thats my favorite KoF games. That was the last game I played in the Arcades. So it was the most fun and memorable for me. I never got to play 2002-2003 or anything until I bought them for PS2.
They still arent as kewl as 2001. 2001 has all my favorite characters on there. The only draw back with 2001 is the portraits suck in my opinion. Athena has that ugly short hair, king is wearing this Fugly make up. BLEGH.
VS spoiled me with Air Blocks. Something Alpha series introduced and I've always loved. Maybe its just my controller but I couldnt get any arial blocks in 2001. >_< I dont think it has any!
I want to go back and practice more on 2001 but I know that I will eventually pick up VS SNK 2 again and just get spoiled by all the great stuff I can do in the fight.
One thing I love about KoF2001 though. The fights often feel like a REAL anime battle. Man. You should see some of the stuff that goes on in a fight. Its exciting. Though Im still really good at KoF maximum impact... until I get to duke. -_- god dammit SNK. SNK is the worst reputation for Final Bosses. Because every new game is like a pissing contest. They try to see how much more bull **** they can make their final boss and its BS every time. Always a differant final boss. Geese was the man back in the fatal fury days. But nope. Had to keep pushing the level of hjow much BS they can make the final boss. They fill the boss up with nothing but cheap moves and all the best moves they can make.
I mean I tried playing 2003.. holy fucking hell I refuse. I dont even like the characters on that game except for my King team. But the final Boss is like.. Duke x2. You cant get NEAR the guy. Hes dropping huge ass stupid pillers on you constantly. I wont even bother talking about the 2001 bosses... >_> I want to KILL the person who designed those guys.
And Duke. Dont get me started on Duke. Infinite gauge and a fire ground move thats too much BS to measure on the BS Meter. You have to end up beating duke but doing Cheap Combo moves then blocking. Rinse and Repeat. Cheap combo hits then block.
For the next Maximum Impact game they NEED to bring King back up in there! They have Yuri and Mai! Wtf! Get me the King! I wants to revive the team dammit! And May Lee and Angel. They should be in the next 3D game too. In fact... Just make 2001 3D and add more characters and I can die a happy man. Die a happy man DAMMIT!
And you know whats worse? I think SNK has become a bad influence on Capcom.
Whatever for, GrnPsycho? How do you figure this?
Have you ever played Street Fighter Third Strike? >_> Yeah. The first time EVER that the final boss isnt MBison (ignoring the alpha series where the final boss depended on who you picked).
Thats not a big deal man. Cmon.
Take into account that theres no air block and no Dashing in the game. Now... lets look at the final boss. You KNOW SNK created the guy. I fucking know it. SNK and Capcom were drinking at a kareoke bar one night. The Namco guys were in the next room over singing Dream On all night while saying "we should put this in our next DoA game HAHA! AMERICA SONGS SO FUNNY!".
So there Capcom and SNK were. Drinking hardily. ANd SNK gives Capcom a sketch and says "yeah you should put that in your next game! Cmon! You can have it. I made it just for you!" and Capcom just looked at it with a cautious eye going "weellll... Maybe.". A few bottles later and lots of laughing and hate talk towards the Namco guys next door, Capcom is convinced and persuaded into putting this character into their next game..
Who is this final boss? Its Jesus...
What...? What are you laughing at? Im fucking serious its Jesus! They put Jesus in Third Strike as the final boss. Im not kidding they seriously put Jesus in there! He turns water into whine, has a glass then fights you wearing only underwear and painted up as if hes going to a football game and you are the only one standing in his way. And trust me, you dont want to stand in the way of Jesus.
Not only is this guy as tall as Sagat, but he has anti-air attacks AND anti ground. It getters better. When you kill him, he RESSURECTs. Thats right. You have to ultimately kill Jesus 4 times. Its only 2 rounds. But he revives himself to full strength in each round once you beat him. Well, you can stop him actually. If you punch fast enough you can stop his health from goin all the way up but you're still fucked.
Not only that but he has that ungodly super move thats like Akumas ultiamte move on crack. Seriously. Jesus sprouts Seraphim wings and goes Care Bear Rainbow on your ass until you die. In fucking credible.
Now lets journey to the land of make believe. Lets pretend, for a moment, that hypothetically you were able to beat him. (Hey its possible... Just with only a few certain characters and lots of cheap moves.) What are you rewarded with? The gayest Video Game endings of all time. OF ALL TIME. These arent even ENDINGs. This is **** you should be reading in the instruction manual but they just felt like putting you through absolute hell to read it.
Like one of the characters is this Iron Mask Trench coat Detective Hat guy. Whats his ending? "We dont know who he is, what he looks like, or what hes doing.". Thats his fucking ending. You think Im exaggerating? Thats EXACTLY what they tell you! "We dont know who he is, what he looks like, or what hes doing.". Thats the fucking ending. WOW! WHAT AN ENDING! I feel so fucking inspired. My life is complete now that I know absolutely NOTHING new about this guy.
Proof that SNK influenced Capcom into making Third Strike. Third Strike is a child of SNK in reality people. Just with better graphics and a crazy parry system.
So yeah. Fighting game luver here who has been spoiled by the AWESOME-ness that is Capcom VS SNK 2. Where your only worries are Shin Akuma and Shin Rugal... no biggie. >_> But at least you can air block, roll, parry, AND dash. With a set of 3 super moves and many differant fighting styles to choose from. The victory is up to you. *points*
Oh and no... dont get me STARTED on Guilty Gear... Worst. Fighting. Game. EVER. Ok ok not worst. I love the characters and the music. Guilty Gear X was bad ass... Guilty Gear XX and Isuka are bull ****. Complete bull ****. They are worse than SNK with the final bosses. Nono. Not getting started. >_>
And Im not going to bother talking about 3D fighters like Soul Calibur or DoA. Because while they are insanely fun they are also insanely easy on the hardest setting. Soooo, no point. Nothing to bitch at for your amusement.
So yeah... hows life? Me? I gotta buy a new controller. And a Arcade Stick. Now with my arcade stick, nothing would stop me with Angel. Have you ever fought K as Angel? Its like a rare dance that you wont see anywhere else. Two characters dashing and teleporting everywhere back and forth and landing some fashion hits. Its beautiful when you know what you are doing.
Its a good thing Im not a smoker. I could so see myself wasting two packs a day while playing these games.
