Naw, Kilik has pretty good range. He has a really long stick he hits people with.

EGM said necrid is the cheapest. being able to imitate many of the other characters moves.

i still like Maxi best. more i learn on him more i like.

Whats the best you guys have gotten on Survival?

just tried that for the first time got 7. but i know i can do better then that. damn Ivy's reach with that damn whip.

My friend played the arcade version and said it was sweet... he said he played conquest mode, but i don't think it's on the console systems... he sayd that yoshimitzu was the best... with the flea hopper trick... funny. before this game came out, i had no idea what that stupid thing was... i thought it was a taunt...

its out for all three systems nintendo has link as a special charactor,x box has spawn,ans playstation has that guy from the tekken series(I forgot his name).all the charactors are pertty cool in there own way. The only thing that would make it better would be fatalitys(mk series rules)

i kinda like what it has.

it gives you a bit of time after the KO to simply kick and punch your enemy, kinda rubbing it in. or do a big grab move which in itself is almost like a fatality.

sometimes i just keep kicking the guy to edge and push him over.

im not sure why but i like voldo alot he can be quite cheap

Yeah, he's got arrows. It pisses me off because you try to do a soul charge but Link over there is knocking you off. Very annoying.

And of course you wouldn't straight-button mash with this game, and yeah, it is luck sometimes, but it's still the most vulnerable game to it. But it doesn't hinder at all, really.

They played ten rounds each and were told to just pound on the controls and not a one of them was able to win more than 2 of 10 matches.

Well I can tell you that I've challenged many button mashers @ Kof, and they have basically NO chance of beating an expert (like me).

The other day me and my friend teamed up and we got 38 wins in a row (against other experts of course).

And i'm not making that up

I bought the game and it completely met my expectations. The fighting is deep as usual with many things to learn from each character. Sometimes the battles get heated up alot and kinda looks like a coreaography (sp?) from a movie. There's so many reversals and stuff. I've always like this 3d fighter best.

PD: Why the heck did Namco give that Berseker freak seven costumes but left Ivy only with two. And that's not to say that her second costume is lousy as hell.

Dyne · 08-31-2003, 03:01 AM

You might be able to unlock more. Dylflon bought more costumes for other characters like Nightmare and Taki.. I'm sure there's more for Ivy.

Ohh, well! Thanks, I hope they included more for her. Now, unto the next rant. WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY MAKE CGI CINEMAS FOR THE ENDINGS? And don't anybody tell me "look at DOA3 and see if they're any good" because SC has what DOA doesn't, and that's a great story line. The game is great, but they didn't improve things that were obvious.

Dylflon · 08-31-2003, 04:27 AM

Yea Nemesis. I just bought Ivy's 3rd costume. It's okay. It's certainly better than the one that makes her look like a man. Asteroth's 3rd outfit is so damn cool.

Ahhh, not only did you agreed with me but you also used the same expression I did (Makes her look like a man). Proves that Namco just didn't know what the heck they were doing when they made that costume. Now, I supose I'll stop my ranting before I turn this into a thread about buttocks and how good/realistic the polygons look (And they do look good. Err... I mean... crack's effect is wearing off, time for another dose.)
