All I can say is, seeing Akari in the B Jenet pic is odd enough. That little girl should not be drinking. Especially *That* little girl.

If ur talking about the ending capture....thats actually Hotaru. She goes to the bar she knows the winners were gonna meet at to see if she can capture her bro (Gato) but he isnt there and she ends up getting mixed up with the party. At the conclusion of the ending, Gato is seen standing outside the bar.

Ok. I see now. They really made that one a little confusing. On closer inspection, I saw the outfit between the crowd; but I don't remember Hotaru having Akari's Cowlick before. Maybe it's a factor of her getting hosed, because it's typically Akari with that face and cowlick hair style.

Isn't that like challenge #3 or something? ;)

Yeah, I'm on 20 now. I didn't know how to do any of the recovers and tap outs since I never used them. Got up to 20 in 30 minutes or so, The Robert one gave me a few retries along with the 3 random teams. I'm terrible with Mai so this challenge is a bit tricky for me. Ah well nothing to do this afternoon anyway.

Some observations
-Kula...omg she's rediculous. Her priority is through the roof, and so much more
-I hate fighting Momoko, especially when playing as Oswald. She can duck most of his attacks, and is an all around annoyance. Just bring Bao back really
-Terry is way faster
-Seems the specials where the character dashes then does a combo (like Iori's QCFHCB+P) have less priority.
-Clark has mad priority, along with Maxima
-Tizoc's grabs are very nerfed
-Ioris new special is amazing.
-Ash is still as awesome as ever.
-Duo Lon definateyl got toned down.


So, I'm trying to learn Oswald. He's a really interesting and different character, and sadly the move list is in japanese. Are all his moves available right away, or not? All the card symbols and such are making think they're not. Either way he's a REALLY awesome character, and yet Elizabeth feels like half of one.

Duo Lon's LDM makes up for his drop in the tiers. Oswald's moves are all accessable from the get go. Although his Ace (qcf + E) is a follow up after qcf + K.

On another note, looks like NCSX is restocking the game, which means the first shipment got major buys. Can't wait till my copy arrives, as I'm always psyched to get another KOF. This time, it seems everybody else is, too. :)

his ace was what was confusing me, since it would never go off. He's a great character though.

Didn't even notice Kensou was back....then again didn't really care. Chang and Choi are now both gone, the Korea team is dead, and what's with bringing back Jhun for only one KOF, poor guy can't get a break.

Play-Asia said it was their top-selling game last week too. Cool beans.

I got it from them, first shipment, definitely a good way to go. Got that and the Sega Ages Treasure Box Collection, good stuff.

Went out and got a second set of component cables, and this game looks excellent in progressive scan. The aspect ratio feels great, and the sprites are really, really sharp.

I see why everyone is saying this is somewhat of a redemption for Playmore- really fun game, definitely one of my favorite KOFs. The Super Cancels feel more natural to pull off in XI, especially with K', which makes for some real nice combos.

Silber is damn good! I love this guy... high damage...:drool_2:

I'm currently trying to get to grips with Duo Lon. Like the character and the very unique style. Hard to get to grips with though.

C > hcf + A > f + B > hcb + C > Super Cancel :D

Well I logged on Monday morning and to my suprise Play-Asia shipped my copy! :chimp:

So I don't have to wait another week! It'll be here either Friday or Saturday! :chimp:

Also, how did you guys set up your sticks for this? I sadly only have a one player X-Arcade stick and I'm thinking of setting up Atomiswave style,

B C D
A _ E (I guess it's called E, or just Tag)

Even though my XA stick is crappy I HATE the PS2 pad for fighters, especially KoF, I can't use the control pad to pull moves off.

I have a 8 button MAS Stick. So my button configuration is something like this.....

_ B C D
A T _ E

The "T" in my config is the taunt button. Also, the E button is not tag, it's your CD attack button. Multi-Shifting is done with AC or BD.

That's how I feel about DL.

However, I use the 'stomp' (hcb+C) to Quick Shift if I have stock, if not I just continue with d+A, qcf+Ax3.

That combo needs a lot of practice tho, since it is hard to get in game, you have to make sure you follow through when you do get an opening.

R1+A is my favorite color. :glee:

A good Duo Lon quick shift combo is cA, qcf + A, f + B, qcb + C, cA, qcf + A, qcf + A, QS! Remember, Duo Lon can OTG his dp+K after knockdown attacks or throws.

So how does the port stack up against the Arcade original? are the loading times even longer or are they the same?,shorter?
Is the background music good?

i never played the atomiswave version (damn nonexisting arcades in europe :very_ang: ) but, I read on system16 that the atomiswave is a cartridge based system, how can a cart system have loading times?

Data compression, perhaps? Regardless, Atomiswave games do have load times. KOF XI's were a bit long for an arcade game, so seeing that the PS2 version's load times were shorter was just plain awesome.

There have been other cart games with load time in the past, too. Street Fighter Alpha 2 on SNES, for example.

Um, for anyone having trouble unlocking the challenge mode characters (Mai, Geese, etc.) there are other ways...

http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147110

As for the arcade mode characters (Silber, Jyazu) you have to defeat everyone in the first 3 teams with a regular DM (not an LDM), yet you still have to do 2 LDM's per fight without killing anyone, totalling 6 LDM's before the sub-boss fight. That's how I did it and it worked.

But the challenges (minus a few of them) arent that hard so unlocking EVERYTHING can be done in a few hours. I know I had it all within a day. I would have had it all in 4 hours BUT stupid challenge #34 kept kicking my ass. :angry:

Okay I will ask this seeing as how this is the KoF XI ps2 thread.

How the hell do you get the Ace ender with Oswald. Ive done it randomly and I know there has to be a way to get it on command. Or maybe it is just a random occurence b/c of the amount of damage it deals (more than some characters DM). If you dont know what im talking about its after you do Queen and then do the Ace spinning uppercut finish but at the end the screen goes black and he throws a few cards through the opponent which deals a nice chunk of damage.

Please help.

I'm using a Saturn PS2 pad with this lay-out:

C D E
A B A+C

R2: A+B

L2: B+D

And yes, the PS2 version has SHORTER loading time than the arcade :eek_2: , so it's the superior version, as it has more game modes, characters (and more easily unlockable), etc.
