I love this game.
About as solid feeling as a 2-D fighter I have come across. Some nice animation and graphics, and a really cool cast. What a nice feel this game has, excellent control.
Rock Howard might be my all time favorite character. I'm trying to master him right now, I feel like I did back in the old SF2 games. His Shinkuu Nage is one of the coolest throws I have ever seen. He got that from Geese, right? Very cool.
And God said, "Let there be light."
Great game. I like Rock a lot, but I think Terry still whups ass. Gato is cool too, and I like Kushnood Butt because I like saying his name!
Kushnood Butt, Kushnood Butt, Kushnood Butt!!!
:D
And it was good.Quote:

DCF: When I first played the game, Rock was also my favorite. I love his look, his moves, his Supers, all that jazz. However, as time went on I found I didn't like the way his moves actually worked during regular combat and began dabbling in the Hoons. I enjoy both of them, but eventually found my love in Gato which is where I rest now.
I really want them to release a console version with online play, that would get me back into this game in an instant.
I play as Butt!
He will kick your ass!
Smack your rear!
Rock your behind!
Lay it down on your booty!
Spank your bottom!
Awesome game, great design and animation
MotW is the only fighting game in existance that has like 90% fun to play characters.
Butt is almost too powerful...but I love him too! He's like what Ryo and the other Kyokugenryus SHOULD have been.
MechDeus: Gato owns. I love his style. I thought he would be my preferred character, but Rock is right now. His throw, and his last win taught are just to cool for words. I love everything abut him.
Butt owns as well. He could take on Ryu any day. :D
KOF: Beautiful collection there. I see MOTW at the end....nice.
What about Samurai Shodown II? Best roster ever!!!Quote:

MOTW is definitely a fantastic game...The Griffon might be my favorite 2d grappler, ever, and Khushnood Butt is fun too. Good gameplay, good damage, the TOP system is fun, Just Defense one-ups Parrying, I think it's my favorite SNK game.
MOTW is one of the few fighters for me that gets worse and worse the more you play it. Initially it seems really nice but it's too easy to JD and the game engine is boring. Too dull in versus play but Kevin was my boy. The Japanese didn't really like it either it seems, I think only saw two cabinets running it whilst I was down there. Like most Neo Geo games, way overrated on the internet.
Hehe, thanks, mr. Eagle eye :pQuote:

Like Hell it does! Just Defense is offensively useless, and you block stun anyway. Parrying is unbelievably versitile. Not only do you nullify damage when you parry, but it opens the door for so many counter-attacking options; it nullifies block stun, and cuts recovery frames. Then there's Red Parrying...Quote:

I cannot believe you just said that.
Give me Marco Rodriguez and Gato, and I'll bring the pain! Buck buck buck buck booyaka shot!!! :eek:
In all honesty, this is probably my favorite game. Itr has the only boss in a fighting game that I actually enjoy playing against (Grant, not kain).
and GATO OWNZ YOU ALL!
...as well as jae hoon.
Meh. Why hasn't anyone mentioned Hokutomaru or Dong Hwan?
Them and good old bear-wrasslin' Butt're my favorite characters.
Unbelievably versatile, and unbelievably good at making SF3 a bit too defense/turtling prone for my tastes. I know SF3's good, not denying that, and, no, I'm not a Japanese SF3 master or anything so on some level I don't know what I'm talking about, but I prefer Just Defending because it's a bit weaker, and it keeps the game moving along.Quote:

I wasn't trying to suggest that Just Defending is more effective than Parrying - I meant that Just Defending makes for a better game, IMO, than full-on Parrying.
Yes, MotW is indeed greatness... Terry is a powerhouse in it (like always) and Freeman owns. :) Actually there really isn't any character in it that's poor, everyone is at least decent.
Oh! OK then. ;)Quote:

And now that you've put it in context for me, I can deffinitly see where you're coming from. Parrying, though versatile, does make for a "you first...no, you first" kind of game. Just Defending most definitly keeps the flow of the game nice and even the whole way through. :D
You know Sidez...the Japanese aren't the almighty deciders of everything great... ^_-
When it comes to arcades games i'd say what's popular there is usually damn good. I saw way more cabs running Vampire Saviour ;) than any other SNK fighter other than KOF2002.
Can't argue with anything Vampire Savior, hee hee :)
As far as I'm concerned, MotW is part of the holy trinity of 2D fighters, along with KoF '98 and 3rd Strike. (Why can't they be putting games like those on Xbox Live, instead of a mediocrity like CvS2?)
In fact, I like it even better than 3rd Strike, which suprised me. The speed, the smooth feel, I couldn't put it down. I must have played through the single player mode at least 100 times. Rock, Dong Hwan, Terry, they're all a blast to use. Supposedly a sequel has been in development for a while...of course, Playmore's said that about quite a few games (SNK vs. Capcom, Samurai Shodown V), so we'll see.
Oh yeah, best game over screen EVER.
"Game Ow-var"
I like it over 3rd Strike not for the gamplay so much as the personality. Most of the characters in SF3... well, they suck. Let's just be honest. It's more like a traveling freak show than a fighting game.
While MoTW has a pirate queen, a karate version of shaft, a man even more evil and spooky than Iori, the list goes on and on. Heck, I can't think of a character I dislike in MoTW. Maybe that police officer guy.
Playing this online would be great fun and great pain. Great fun because it's a great game, great pain because I'm likely to get owned every other match. :p
You know, that's exactly why I never really took to the game. Its engine is absolutely brilliant, but when your roster of characters ranks somewhere behind World Heroes, somebody needs to get fired. If they'd done characters in a similar vein to Alpha, I (and alot of other people, too) would have totally loved SF3.Quote:

As it is, it's the chick that you really like hanging out with, but wouldn't want your friends to catch you dead with.

Man, I so agree with the SF3 "freak show" comment. The engine is incredible but the characters suck.
MotW is excellent. It stands out to me as SNK's finest fighting game(except for SNK vs Capcom on NGPC).
I like MoTW good game deffiently had fun with it and will own it one day when i own a Neo
have it on the DC have fun with it
the roster is good albeit very small
still for me the best fighter ever is SFA2
its close to that for meQuote:

though i do love Samurai Shodown II and KoF 98
Strictly a design sense:I much prefer the majority of the SFIII cast to Alpha. Alpha's cleaner, but they really start to blur together after awhile, which doesn't happen to me with SFIII peeps. Oh, Birdie and Sodom definately need to go.Quote:

As for MotW: the Hoons, Rock, Gato, and Freeman are cool. The rest are mostly "eh."
If you ask me, freeman is the only "eh" character of the lot.
btw, if anyone has the pics from the official site and its secret counterpart, I'd really appreciate it if you could hook me up...
It's good.
But kinda shallow... :/
You are so wrong. I knew someone would say that.Quote:

SFIII is one of the few fighting games where I'll play as ANY character. In fact, I rather playing as Q, Necro and Alex. Why? The challenge! And here's the thing: THEY'RE ALL WELL ANIMATED AND THEY MOVE SMOOTHLY.
Mostly in Neo-Geo and CPS2 fighters certain characters are just animated badly so they don't FEEL right when playing. They feel clunky or they whizz around the screen with no style, like Choi (or is it Chang?) in KoF. Yes, it's fun to play as the Seishus and Kyos and Akumas in those games but they're the stylish, well animated ones.
Oh, and the character roster in Alpha 3 is a travesty. Whenever I play that game I get to the character select screen and think 'Hm, I should pick someone different but they're mostly crap. I'll just stick with Ken. Again.'
MotW's characters are animated almost as well, but the clincher is that they're not all fugly. I mean, they even managed to make Chun Li look ugly. What's up with that?Quote:

Uh....how can it be a travesty when it's made up of almost every Street Fighter and Final Fight character? I think your eyes are just broken.Quote:

:bang:
Well, MOTW is one of my favorite 2d fighters. I like its presentation and characters, it has nice graphics and music, and I found it easy to pick up and play. I personally prefer this to FF3.
I'm mixed about the characters in SF3. I'd say it's a mediocre roster comparted to most games. SF3 introduced Dudley, who is one of my all time favorite characters. Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Chun Li all look amazing. Alex and Sean are cool to. Aside from them, I do not like most of the characters. Necro and Oro are somewhat interesting. Hugo has great moves, but looks...not good. Q is forgettable, so is 12. Urien has a kick ass fighting style, but his speedo's just don't do it for me. The Kung Fu twins, Ibuki, and the two other girls are kind of forgettable.
SF3's a great game, one of my all time faves. Brilliant Animation, excellent fighting engine, just a bit mediocre roster. I wish I could play it with my MAS stick...
Welcome to 12 years ago :DQuote:

Whatever. Chun Li was the hottest drawing since Jim Lee Rogue back when. Now she's this weird beefcake birdface thing. Even Xena wouldn't do her with those skull-crushing thighs.Quote:

i have to agree while im not the hugest fan of SFA3 (i prefer 2) it does have a killer roster
I mean it has just about everyone who appeared in SF and SFII and MORE
thats just alot of characters to pick from
i would wager that the only game with a larger selection of fighters is Marvel Vs Capcom 2 (not sure off hand how many are in CvS2 that may have more also)
I tell you what id like to see a MotW 2 or a SFIV done with their same levels of animation just in high res 2d like GGX
isnt it Cammy that has the one move where she jumps ups wraps her legs around the opponets neck and then smacks them to the groundQuote:

youd think shed have bigger thighs from that move
Or Samurai Shodown V.Quote:

Please guys... comparing MOTW to SF3 is like comparing excrement to cream.
btw best SNK fighters are IMO KOF2002 (better than KOF98 which is too grappler friendly), Samurai Spirits 3, RBS, FFS and KOF2000 (broken striker madness; fun).
I like Chun-Li in 3rd Strike. Her animation is the best in the game.
Don't you thinkn you're taking your dislike of this game a little overboard? I mean, don't get me wrong, I applaud you for it - I do it myself all the time (Tekken is the worst game ever made! Die!!), but you can't say it doesn't play well, whatever small complaints you may have about the engine.Quote:

That's crazy - it played so poorly compared to II.Quote:
Samurai Spirits 3,
Sure, great game, but I wouldn't rank it alongside KoF 98, Samsho II/IV or MotW.Quote:
RBS,
Fatal Fury Special? You're insane. Why not just throw out Art of Fighting 2 or Aggressors of Dark Kombat?Quote:
FFS
Uh, so what is it you don't like about MotW again?Quote:
and KOF2000 (broken striker madness; fun).
I think the person who started this thread must be a bit bewildered because he unwittingly started a slanging match between MOTW and SFIII, or more specifically, between parrying and just defense, or a debate on the quality of SFIIIs lineup. Some would say it's inevitable that a MOTW thread will involve SFIII but it's still a bit disappointing that we keep on arguing about the same stuff.
So yes, as stated in the thread's title, MOTW is a great game.
By the way, I don't know why Guile is so calm in that cartoon. Chun-Li's tap-the-button kicks take energy when you block. Eventually he'll lose the round. Wake up, Guile!
hes busy trying to see through her clothes to see if shes shaved or notQuote:

I don't see why you need to quote me to death, I find those 5 games play the best simple as that. SS2 is way overrated btw.
"That's crazy - it played so poorly compared to II."
Elaborate (in a PM as that's OT).
OMG, not this again. Chun-Li's animation is very good, sometimes, but as an animator, I can whole-heartedly state that it is not the best in the game. In fact, the odd poor animation that pops up here and there in that game really baffles me, as they spent so much time in general to get it to look smooth.Quote:

OT, MotW is really good, but definately not the paragon of 2D fighter goodness. JD seems like a poor man's parry, and the game overall feels a little loose to me. Some interesting characters, though, and just about everyone's competitive.
<---- animator in training
Personally, I love the "feel" of the hits in MoTW... and the fantastic animation throughout.
My favorite fighter.
About all I can contribute really...
*-neo
HAHAHA......BUTT!!
OK, then. I'll rephrase, as I agree that it isn't the "best in the game." I do, however, like it the best. Especially her crouch frames.Quote:

There are many, many, many other animations in the game that are better, but none that I like more. ;)

The best SNK fighter is Last Blade 2 anway. Everyone knows that.
The best Capcom fighter is Vampire Savior. Even camels know that.
I agree, though not to the same extreme.Quote:

3rd Strike is the GOD of fighting games
