I donno, I'm really liking 2002 myself. The move sets are better, the speed is just right, the roster is better. I just think it needs a bit of time to grow on you. 2002's presentation is alot worse than 2003, but at least you can turn off the nasty 3d backgrounds. Im having no problems pulling off the super moves and Im using a standard xbox S controller.
So who else besides Destro, Clash, and me got this game?
Well, if the online play works...
Maybe I should pick this up. It's either this or Earth Defense Force 2, some whackass JPS2 third person shooter that's supposed to be great and is really cheap.
Yeah, I'm a penny-pincher. I've been wanting to play KoF 2003 pretty badly, and I know the Xbox port of 2002 is great, and I wouldn't mind something to play on Live other than 3S.
EDF2 is seriously one of the best games on the planet.Quote:

Like being dropped in the middle of a cave complex and have giant ants and spiders just pour in from every opening. Earning new weapons is just like Christmas morning, only more violent than usual.
All for $20. Sweet deal.
Boy, I sure hate Iori. I was playing 2003 on Live last night and played the 12th and 2nd highest ranked people in the game, both used Iori and ate me alive with him.
Any specific strategies they used against you? Iori is one my favorites. :DQuote:

Plus, you already know three TNL'ers who have the game.
I was playing 2002 for like an hour on Live today and had no lag what-so-ever.
Their Iori strategy was hold me off with fireballs and then when I make any move around them, they rush me down and pound the shit out of me with combos. Pretty much any really good KoF player I have played against just rush and rush. Always dashing into things, its nuts.
Also, in 2002, is there something I am missing on how to do Max 2 supers? Do I have to do something else to get them to go off other than turning on Maximum and then doing the command? Or do I have to be nearly dead to pull them off?
You need to activate Maximum AND have your life bar flashing red to execute MAX2 moves.Quote:

About Iori, use Ralf to counter him. His running dash move in 2002 just goes right thru Iori's fireballs and combos a few hits from there. King can rock Iori changing up those double strike fireballs, and then go for that onemillion hit kick move if they jump toward you. I seem to clean up on the Iori players.
I've got about a 40% win rate overall. There's some damn good people out there. We'll have to set up some matches Cow and Clash. Man I love these games...
I bet you right now SNKNGUSAC are reading message boards and got the feeling that most people would do that, this being the reason they pushed the date back.Quote:
