Hummm, concidering you havent played me in 4 years and how my D. Hwan pales in compairison is a bold statement indeed. We'll see just how much you have improved. We did play honorably, yes, and I still do...but I was also holding back. Your moves were predictive, so predictive in fact that I saw no real need to put forth any more effort than the bare minimum I needed to win. Not trying to be pompus, thats exactly how I played when you last played me. Every round, no matter what, the VERY first thing you would do is jump back and "Double Repuken!" If you have improved, and I'm very sure you have, it will be interesting to match the skills I've acquired since that time to see what you have learned and see how much you have improved. I think it would be awesome if you suprised the crap out of everybody and beat the hell out of us. Give me something to actualy challenge myself with and get better
I've been in a slump lately, so a challenge is always welcome and accepted 
Here's to a good challenge Jon. ::bows at you::yagamikun said:Hummm, concidering you havent played me in 4 years and how my D. Hwan pales in compairison is a bold statement indeed.

I didn't mean your Dong Hwan paled in comaparison to my Rock Howard. Just that your Dong Hwan paled in comparison to Mowery's antics.
Yes, I have improved massively at fighting games. I've been to a few tournaments and I like to play against friends, at arcades, etc. I don't get to play actual "human" opponents very often. Xenia sucks, you can ask anybody. I make up for this by putting the game on Level 8 difficulty. It doesn't QUITE make up for the randomness you get by playing a real person...but, it is damn close. Definitely makes you ready for any typical fighting game scrub you might come across.
I'm a bit rusty myself. No human opponents and no GOOD, WORKING CD pad make it tough. I'll get one here real soon and try to practice up. I seriously think you will be surprised. Look forward to seeing you there.

Woo! Look at the competition fly. I'm just glad people are interested in playing some games. Speaking of... While we'll have all of this great opportunity for competition, are there any other games out there that people are interested in playing. Tekken 5 has been my thing lately and I'm always curious to see how people hold up in VF4:Evo.
They may not be Neo specifically, but they could be fun for a couple of rounds between Neo games.

Directions!
All right here we go:
Take I71 or I70 to Columbus outerbelt I270
Dublin is a Northwest Suburb of Columbus.
Exit I270 at Sawmill Rd.
Go north on Sawmill
Turn left at Hard Rd. (3rd light) Hard rd. will dead end on Riverside Dr.
Turn right on to Riverside Dr.
My house is approx. 1/3 mi. north of Hard Rd. Directly off Riverside.
The Traffic signal for Wyandotte Woods is directly in front of my house.
My address is:
7859 Riverside Drive.

Also, I'm going to suggest to everyone that because it's hard to turn (weird angle) into Kurt's driveway that you turn from the median right before the traffic light he mentions in his post. Riverside is very busy most of the day. Just be patient and careful and you should be fine.
I'm also going to recommend we have some sort of sign, possibly two; one for both sides of the street. Believe me, the first time you go to his house, you probably will pass it.

Yeah, it is a shittly angle. If you happen to be heading south down riverside you wouldn't be able to make the turn. And odds are you will probebly pass it. So you will have to go back to hard road and come again heading northbound. I usually get in the middle of the road and basically make my own turn lane in the yellow painted area so cars can pass me.
Maybe if we just set a chair or something out there in the little bit of yard there is there?
If you are looking for the house number you won't have much luck, I really never even see his house till I pull all the way in. You kinda have to guesstimate by looking at other numbers.

Also kurt, It would probebly be a good idea to pm the people who are suppose to be coming that I posted in my first thread and give them your phone #. If you are to busy let me know and I will contact them.

This is coming up this saturday so I'm getting some practice in on the KOF.........but mostly 2003.
What years do you guys play the most/have the most experience with? Currently the crew here is playing 2k3 a ton (-HIM) I'd love to see how my skills match up to some other players. Can't wait to play some neo at a meet-up again............

We (myself, Terry330, and Greedo) mostly play Garou: MOTW, Last Blade, SVC: Chaos, and a couple of the KOF's...but, not 2K3. The reason? As far as KOF's go, it's vastly inferior to 98, 00, and 02. Sorry if that offends anyone. But, just put them side by side and you'll see what I mean.
Does that mean we won't play it with you? No, not at all. Although, if you plan on playing that particular game, you may want to bring your copy...because I know I don't have it...and, I'm pretty sure Kurt doesn't either.
Something we have not really talked about is the setup that's going to be there. Kurt has one TV he's dedicated to Neo Geo to, one he has set on its side for vertical shooters, and a VGA monitor for other games. I'm planning on bringing my TV as well as a Supergun for Neo MVS and other JAMMA games. We MAY need one more TV as well as another Neo AES...maybe...depending on how many people show up.
Also, make sure everyone brings controllers, games, etc. Anything interesting you'd like to show everybody (ie. rare, unusual games..on just about any system) I myself would love to see. If you plan on bringing CD games, I recommend you take the games out of the case and just bring the CD itself...put them in one of those CD zipper cases. No telling what may happen, this is just a precaution.
I'll contact Kurt to see if he has any other things he needs everyone to know before coming. Also, if you do really plan on coming, please let myself, Terry330, or Greedostick know. I'd really like to get a more definite idea about how many people are showing up. Just PM one of us. Thanks everyone for your patience and hope to see you all there.

Woah ---- I know my KOF and I agree that 2k3 is inferior to 98 and 2k2 (I own them both) and I have a good bit of experience with 2k as well. However I would not use the word vastly. No offense taken I'm just as happy to play 2k2 if your all up for that.
I like 2k2 better, but only by a hair. I'm really fond of some of the combos that are possible within 2k3s system (what with tag and timing diffs) and I was hoping that someone else might be into it as well.
It's a real shame that Duo was included and things like c.B, qcf+Cx3, qcf+B, c.C, qcf+
B (repeat) is present, but I don't think it ruins the game. Give it a chance if you haven't played it heavily with decent competition.

I think Playmore tried too hard to make it like MVC..with the tag system, or whatever. A couple things really annoyed me about the game. First off, the Leader system. Only one of your characters can do all of their moves. Which makes it really annoying when he gets beaten and your other characters are stuck with inferior moves. Another thing is the fact that alot the moves you were able to buffer (ie. Iori's command throw into Maiden Masher, and Kyo's double kick into Orochi Nagi) are gone. Well, gone is a strong word. You can do it, but, you have to wait until the entire movement is over before you can do the second part. Kind of annoying.
It sounds like you're really into comboes. I look forward to playing against someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Me too, It should be a good time. And definitely some valid points about 2k3. I take it in another light maybe. I like the leader system because it makes the tag system viable. Quite often if you think it through you can save the leader for abusing his move - It's only one move after all, but it can make a difference if you save it.
It's very true that some combos and a bit of buffering is gone. It can be hard to deal with but with a little practice all that stuff comes back. It took me forever to get some things down, but I don't even notice it anymore.
Can't wait for saturday, I was brushing up on my Garou today, it had been quite awhile. Next up is Last Blade 2

Hmm.. yeah, so this weekend is rolling up already. I just took my car to CarEx for repairs, hopefully it'll be golden by Saturday. I'm still hoping to at least stop by for a bit either way.
Anyone have an idea of what time your meeting up? Noon'ish 'till wheneva'?

About the time...I will probably be there around 11 am. So, yeah, noon should be fine with Kurt, I'm guessing. I'll PM him later to make sure.
BTW, Chris, if you need a ride, let me know. I will come and get you. I would hate to do this thing without you and Mike. I'm not sure I told you this, but, I got a new car, so, it won't be as hard on it like my old one. Just let me know via PM.
Incidentally, I have tons of games for other systems. So, I need to know if you guys want me to bring anything specifically. I guess only Kurt or Greedo would be able to tell me because they're the only ones who've seen some of my stuff. But, if any of you have any requests I may be able to bring some interesting stuff by.
