BEST FIGHTER ON NGPC, YOUR OPINIONS

F3L0N · Jan 22, 2003

what do j00 all think is the best fighter on this great little handheld and why? I myself have played kof r2 and MotM, and liked the latter very much. Got a last blade US version comin at me pretty soon, so we'll see how that one plays too.

Man thats a tough question!

I really love Match of the Millenium.
But I also really love Samurai Showdown 2!

The more I think about it, the more difficult it gets!
You cant talk NGPC fighters without mentioning Gals Fighters and Last Blade can you?

I think they are all great, I like the gimmicky ones best, so I guess that FF-1st and KOF-R2 are my least favourites?
Although the purists may well disagree with me on that!
So, I'm no help at all then...

My favorite fighters for the NGPC, in this order:

SNK vs. Capcom: MotM
Last Blade
KoF R-2
Rockman Battle & Fighters
KoF R-1
Gals Fighters
Fatal Fury: 1st Contact
Samurai Shodown 2

Even though I've only played KoF R-1 for a couple weeks some parts I like better than R-2 (it's not as jerky as R-2 for example IMO). Also I'm a complete Megaman fanboy so that game has to be up there. I've always loved the Last Blade series but I've never been a fan of Sam. Sho. (yes I know I'm weird). FF:1st Contact is fun, it's just slow compared to the other fighters. Gals Fighters is gimmicky but fun, and it's easily the fastest fighter on the system (think KoF on speed).

in my opinion kof-r2, I dont like SNK vs CAPCOM too much.

David Fallows · Jan 23, 2003

MOTM (Instant classic)
Fatal Fury: 1st Contact (This inspired me to buy RB2 on the AES)
KOF-R2
Samurai Shodown 2

Currently looking for Euro LB2 but might pick up Cardfighters Clash SNK version first.

I need a fresh lithium battery before I can play anything however. I need to get back to Olympic mode on MOTM and get some practice in before I make my Neo Geo High-scores website.

I would have to say,

kof r2, that game engine is hard to beat

ss2!

motm (If this game game had 4 different types of jump, or even a hop jump, this would be one badass game)

gal fighters

last blade

Although they are all very good games so you can't really say one of them is better than the other, they are all very unique & they set out to achieve there own goals in different ways.

KoF R-1 and MOTM

KOFR1 has the definitive roster for me (Kim, Terry, Kyo , Ryo, amongst others) The speed of the game is great and although it's in B/W i prefer the overall style of the game.

MOTM Has a great roster, the best music in any NGPC game, Great graphics with classic backgrounds and the great olympic mode.

Huxley · Jan 23, 2003

1. MOTM
2. SS2
3. KOF R1

ray_7 · Jan 23, 2003

MotM, nuff said.

MilkManX · Jan 23, 2003

MOTM.

It has the most to offer. If I had to get rid of all my NGPC games except one I would keep MOTM above all else.

Average Joe · Jan 23, 2003

MOTM and SSII

PLVDM · Jan 23, 2003

MotM buttrock

It has the most fighters en cool minigames...

Every fighter on the Neo Geo Pocket Color was awesome I thought, even Fatal Fury was pretty good, and I think it was SNK's experiment at pushing the animated sprites up to the 4 color limit, because they are colorful! Compared to the other fighters. Maybe that contributed to some of the slowdown? In any case, My ranking is as follows:

The Last Blade (Perfect port of Last Blade 1 and Last Blade 2, two games in one! Well, sans Last Blade 1 background graphics)
Gals Fighters (This is what SNK is all about, know thyself, and know others. Fantastic tongue in cheek humour and King of Fighters 99 style gameplay)
The following 2 tie in my book:
SNK Vs. Capcom Match of the Millennium (Barring a few strange bugs, like the DM giving evasion over fireballs, this is the match everyone was waiting for. Kick ass gameplay, fun olympic modes)
King of Fighters R2 (Near perfect port of King of Fighters 98, still the most clever AI, but where's the rest of the teams? Keeping Kim and adding King, as well as numerous others would have been fantastic!)
King of Fighters R1 (It's got Kim in it, that's why I love it ^_^)

I'ma go with MotM gotta love them mini games

Kemps · Jan 23, 2003

MOTM for overall, but Gals Fighter for the speed and humor.

F3L0N · Jan 23, 2003

for christ's sake there's never any conversation going on in the pocket forum. Come on people, the NGPC deserves to be talked about just as much as the neo geo, lets get some more replies in here. What game are you all playin right now, your thoughts on it? what game would you like to play next, why?

BIG · Jan 23, 2003

Match of the Millenium takes the cake.

chris1 · Jan 24, 2003

I personally like..

King of Fighters R2
&
Samurai Showdown 2

Ruko Hanaji · Jan 28, 2003

Of all the fighters I've played for the NGPC, my favorite has got to be Gals' Fighters. The speed and pure silliness completely enchanted me when I picked it up, and it taught me to take Iori less seriously.

After that, I think my faves list (of the games I've played) is:
Match Of The Millenium
King Of Fighters R2
Fatal Fury First Contact

I still need to get Last Blade, so no opinions there. And though I've played Samurai Shodown 2, I can't say I paticularly care for it. *shrug* I just never got into that series.
