And the game sits nicely with me :) I got a few games in at the local arcade yesterday as the machines were quiter than I imagined (although people were still playing them.) I actually won more matches than I lost for the first time in ages (which was nice) and I also had the chance to experiment with some of the as of yet non-godly characters :)

Chun Li gells really well into the SNK mould and has nice combos to boot. You can do her multiple kick super and then follow it up with another or her fireball super.

Gouki has some nice combos too. Seems with the Capcom shotos you can chain HP into MK into fireball or hurricane kick. You can also do LP,LK into MK into fireball or hurricane kick.

Shiki has a good feel as a character in this game. Seems to have combos akin to Hayato in MvC2 where you press the buttons in sequence to pull them off, but here the starter is either Fwd+LP or Fwd+LK, then LPx5 or LKx5 (I think :rolleyes: )

Sometimes seems hard to pull charge supers off but I`m sure after a while I`ll get used to pulling them out in this game. Makes Guile and Balrog seems awkward at first but they`re still good characters to use.

SPOILER


I managed to finish the game on my last turn. All I got was some text in Japanese (hard to understand) but I got the feeling it explains the aftermath once you beat Evil Mr.Karate/Shin Gouki. Then the credit roll came, and that`s it, just the credits :( ! Still, it was quite fun to play and I`m pleased that I could play this game so early and frequently (trying to find somewhere to pay this game in England would be a joke lol !)

Final note for now: Demitri looks ace but the voice is really frail and the polite speaking Goenitz invites you to a whirlwind dinner wink ENJOY drool_2 !

Any notes on Guile?
As stated before, when first playing charge supers seemed awkward to get out but I`m sure with some time and practice they`ll be like 2nd nature soon. If I remember correctly Guile has 4 supers at his disposal altogether, so plenty of otpions available for the big-haired army man :)

Yes, Guile does :)

His somersault kick super, Nash-esque combo super, a super where he does a straight-up multiple hitting somersault kick finishing with a top-down kick and his Max super is the Sonic Hurricane which seeems to have nice range as well :)

How did Genjuro look? Did they make him faster to compensate for the other characters faster speeds?

how were Shin Akume/Evil Mr karate? Were they real tough? Did you get a chance to fight Evil ken/ Orochi Iori? How do they stack up?

I have. All I can say is.....damn. Shin Gouki is just like every other version of him...absolutely fucking wicked.

As for Evil Ken, He's cool too. He even gets a new stance and a teleport-type move. The blood-red outfit definitely helps him get the look.

Well yes, as you go through the game the sub boss before Evil Mr.Karate/Shin Gouki is always either ROTB Iori or Evil Ken. They`re all quite hard and can be infuriatingly annoying at some points (ROTB Iori`s jumping HK is so fast it`s nearly unfair.)

I haven`t battled with Shin Gouki yet but I`ve had a couple of encounters with Evil Mr.karate. He has the type of fireball he has in KOF2002 (Takuma) but it has full screen range. He also has a hard hitting multiple hit dragon punch, a 20/25 hit Zan Retsu Ken (sorry for the inacuracy of the move name), Super fireball and triple Super fierball, his KOF`98 3 punch super and a seemingly unblockable multi hit super that goes across the screen really quickly. Basically, he`s typical SNK `King-o-corn` boss that you`ve come to expect, but he is beatable (as I had the luck to do once already :) )

As a final note, what I like about this game is that it captures the old school feel of fighters well with a good injection of some modern ideas as well. There will obviously be differing opinions on this and I also need to get a lot more to grips with the game but I think that if you like your 2-D fighters, SvC:Chaos will give you pleasure.

Shiki rocks buttrock She sucked your life away yesterday drool_2 !

Played it again today as well. Terry is quite powerful in this game (I managed to get 7 wins with him. Yippee :) !)

Chun Li still seems quite good and I still enjoy Shiki.

Had a go with M.Bison today (boxer) and he seems to be okay. d,u+LK can be followed up with d,u+HK (or maybe it`s the other way around :confused: .) MAX super seems to be just a powerful spin punch that takes a lot off (if I can remember correctly it took half my oppenents life away eek! ) but it seems to be difficult to pull it off at the moment. Sometimes charge supers come out as expected but I don`t think the movements have the flexibilty that they do in Capcom`s Street Fighter games. Seems they have to be more precise here, but they`ll come in time wink

I just want to get an impression of how SNK has made Shin Gouki play, and wether they have given him some new moves like CAPCOM did for "God" Rugal in CvsS2

I believe Shin Gouki still has the super where he disappears, only to drop down from the air and do a chop that deals big damage (I remember this from the playtest.) I`d tell you more but I need to keep on playing the arcade myself to find out.

All the fakes had blurry characters in them. It was well done for the most part. The Morrigan Fio pic comes to mind.
