Eh, nothing against you really
I'm just sick of people being all over 2k2
this kind of comment is all too common:
Can't you have fun with 2k3? - I'm not godly at either game, but I'm no scrub and while I know 2k2 is a better game, but there is definitely some good stuff to be had in 2k3 as well.
2003 is such a different game compared to 2002. Its such a step down that even comparing the two isnt fair. (KOF assholes will do this anyway, its hard not to)
2003 is fun as a different title completely. The game doesn't feel like a KOF like others do. 2002 as far as I'm concered was the last
REALLY good KOF. I've played all the Neo KOF's and own all but 2002, so I've had some fair time with these titles..
The reason people prefer 2002 is that it produces excellent competition and theres tons of variety thats not in 2003. 2003 does also, but its not 2002 intense.
2003 is a good game on its own terms, maybe even excellent, but its not comparable when you scope the differences in play, the newer engine and the somewhat crummy juggling system. Going from 2002 which has almost perfect consistency, to
this is a major change.
There seems to be weird detections also. IE: use Kyo and do a fast short hop D. I know this to work on clark in that it crosses him up from the front instead of the vertical sweet spot that makes a cross up a cross up. This weird shit can be annoying at times.
I've played some amazing talent in 2002 myself and a insane amount of matches online to pick up some strategy with chars nobody expect to be useful. I'm one of only a few queers that would use Yamazaki online.
Its really one of those personal things. No offense to you, but you should know where I am coming from if you are on opposite terms regarding these two games, or two other games in the same position. Its like how people complain about Secret of Mana to LOM. (seiken 3 aside) LOM is a wicked game on its own. Once the unfair comparison is introduced, you might as well just stop wasting your words. Its a unfair comparison.
I guess I agree with you then.
