Hello, I just wanted to share some thoughts about 2K1 after playing the game for about 4 hours!
first of all YAYAYAYAYAY!! STUPID STRIKERS ARE COMPLETELY USELESS!! HAHAHAHA.
ehem. Well, I'm sure everyone already knows how to select different strikers but I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned anything beyond that about striker usage.
OK, Striker can be called anytime as in kof 2000 BUT there are restrictions now. You cannot call a striker during an empty jump, nor if the jump attack misses the opponent. Striker cannot be called when special moves miss, they will only come out when special moves hit or the opponent blocks. IE) If Takuma throw a fireball and you jump, Takuma cannot call a striker during his fireball frame since the fireball completely missed you.
Striker come out slow and usually miss and it they hit...opponent get launched up.
-No strikers can hit down opponents like joe did in 2000.
-STrikers do complelety different attacks or they are toned down. IE)Vanessa still does the same thing..but she only hits twices and does her "hurting hand" stance. Seth is completely STUPID NOW. NO MORE FEARING Seth striker and A. IORI is not in the game..HOORAY!!!
Character impression:
YURI: OMG she must be the most improved character in the whole game. Her knuckle move is soooooo good. ABSOLUTELY NO LAG. but alas she still lacks combo. Her raging demon can be jumped out of even though the opponent starts in the down position.
K9999: NO comment I HATE HIM. SO slow, lacks moves, I hate that mutated arm super, but his win portrait looks nice. He's smirking in pain while he holds his arm and blood drips down his face.
Mai: same old same old.
Hinako: um..her old combos are all gone...she has new ones instead. I've been able to do Down B, stand B, then she had this weird new crouching B which I dont know how I did it. But the AI was doing weird combos. BTW: her QCF+A is now done by mashing the A or C button and she has a new rushing DM super. She throws the opponent into the air for an opportunity to cancel her other super.
-Xianfei: same old Xiangfei, but her Down+C is no longer dependable as an anti-air. HEr jumping B is a new frame of animation. Her win pose she is eating ice cream while she holds a bag full of groceries or something.
Blue MAry: WOW she is turning more into her Real Bout counter part. I saw the computer do Vertical Arrow, Snatch, and then MARY's Typhoon!!!! Also gotta be careful when you do Down+B, b/c climbing arrow is now DB+B.
GORO: cheap ass bastard. I still hate him. ALL his stupid things still work.
Iori: no comment. why the hell do they make him stronger. His QCB+punch move is soo damn annoying now.
May Li: I was able to play her a little bit.. found out a combo Down, B, down A, QCF+B, QCB+B, then DP+D. Well my friend actually found out that combo. She has high potential. In her hero stance all her move GO HALF SCREEN RANGE, but she cant block in hero stance..hehehe..
well..my head hurts now...and I cant remember anything more. I'll be playing more of the game tomorrow night. Sorry if this post was boring. BYE
oh yeah.. BOSSES....ARG!! THIS IS THE HARDEST SNK BOSS I HAVE EVER PLAYED. I DIDNT EVEN GET TO THE FINAL BOSS, but I just kept on dying on Zero. DAMN HIM. He has no power bar and does unlimited supers and all his supers are SDM. He has unlimited striker and RON strike makes you guard break which HE WILL DO WHEN ZERO IS DOING A SUPER ON YOU. NO WAY TO BLOCK.
OH yeah..one more thing. about the so called "ratio" thing.....the more strikers you have the more your DEFENCE GOES UP....YOUR OFFENCE DOES NOT CHANGE...you still do the same amount of damage but the damage you take will depend on how many strikers you have. But the difference is not SOO DRASTICS as in CvsS2. with 1 character and 3 strikers you can die really easily against a 4 character team.
