I can't remember, does this version not have lobbies like some of the other games Code Mystics updated?

It does not have lobbies, no. Neither does 98UM or XIII, unfortunately. One of the inarguably best things that XIV has done for the series was add really good lobbies (and online training mode).

That being said I haven't played a whole lot of 02/UM compared to 98, XIII or XIV, so it'll be fun to jump into a new KoF with good netcode!

Dunno, 98 (it will probably be next) and 02 are fun classic games with huge rosters. I like Garou a lot but I could see it being less interesting to newcomers with 14 characters.

Garou feels really fun, but I've never found someone to play it with so I just kinda stopped trying after awhile

UM probably has a similar fate, but hopefully I can get a few matches at least

On PS4 I played 97 GM and Garou on wifi for a brief period after my LAN cable broke. Played mostly fine even with people from Mexico. I think the developers would probably want you to participate anyway for the data.

Exploration is ill-advised.
My rough understanding is that the Knicks are the early to mid point antagonists in a sports story who mainly play to hurt people.

The Knicks are a minor villain who brags about how rich and important they are and existed to get immediately chumped by a minor character to give them some wins. Their arena makes for a cool stage, though, when later added to a fighting game

They both rule but there's a different vibe to how both play. In 2002UM DMs do way less damage than vanilla 02 or the 98s and it's also a little faster than '98 with shorter hit stun speeds. It's also got a bigger roster with extra moves/expanded combo ability for a lot of the roster too.

I think '98 will always be more popular overall and honestly, 98UM Final Edition is probably a better game overall but 2002UM just feels huge and, it's personal preference, but I like how many of its era of characters play more than their '98 versions.

Whip's not in 98, any version. She's in 02 though!

Lemon-Lime posted:

As someone who's played a lot of the various versions of 98 but not much 02, 02 feels faster and more fluid and has a much bigger cast (referring to UM, vanilla cast is pretty meh). Max mode changes things quite a bit but as far as I can tell it's *mostly* a combo tool now instead of something to activate in neutral for various reasons like you would in 98. They changed how supers work in some cases, like unlocking big supers when you're low on health or in max mode.

In the past I've said that whenever I play 02 it just makes me want to play 98, and that's still true, but I'm gonna give it a real shot now that rollback is in there. Vanilla 02 just doesn't really interest me much in terms of cast and UM's netplay was so lovely I rarely touched it. If they would just add lobbies I'd be very happy, but I'm happy enough with it now I suppose.

Until they add rollback to 98UM anyway. Then I'll probably shift over to that predominantly because I'm lame like that.

It's a completely different take on the MAX system: instead of powering up your moves and giving you access to your SDMs, MAX instead allows you to do the following:

A) Cancel out of whatever move you're doing at the time (roman cancelling)
B) Allow you to freely cancel into and out of moves, with restrictions, extending your combo (you have to read what moves do what)
C) Allows access to SDMs and MAX2 moves, the latter of which is only activated when you're below 30% of your health

It's a lot more combo-heavy than 98 and also introduces key concepts such as counter-wire (bash someone to the other side of the screen on CD counterhit or if the move has the property, NOT CD counter; Maxima can do quite a lot of this), attack roll cancelling (like two characters can make use of this) and guard roll cancelling (an excellent way to waste your meter when you're starting out)

It's great fun and puts less emphasis on big, chunky hits and more on performance. It's basically the flip side of 98 and it's a hell of a lot of fun!

Attack roll cancelling is pretty cool, seems decent for Maxima who I've been fiddling with. I'm not sure what you mean by guard roll cancelling; how is that different from guard cancel AB that was in 98?

So I got a new fancy arcade stick, which means I don't really need my old ones. I've got an original MadCatz TE, the lever might need to be cleaned on the contacts or replaced though as it's pretty old, and a Chun-Li TE2 that also works perfectly as far as I can tell.

Anyone looking for a cheap stick? Don't have PMs but I'm looking to send them to a good home and they're both worth basically nothing afaik

The Original TE is a xbox 360 one, so it's compatible with basically ever PC fighting game as far as I've tried. The Chun-Li TE2 is a PS4/3 stick so it's a little less compatible with PC but it works pretty much fine with steam big picture, and certainly works on consoles

If no one's interested I'll make a SA Mart post at some point when I get around to it
