IS 2D fighting dead, or just dying?

And they were newbies to fighting games?

I'd believe it from SS, LB or Garou, but NOT from a KOF.

And that's why KOF is still sorta popular in lots of places: people doesn't need to kill their neurones to play it.

What a HUGE load of bull. seriously.

hmm, I was expecting KK to clobber me with his evidence, oh well.

...or maybe he's still gathering it

Evidence?

Shit, just go to any average local around here.

Evidence that doesn't require us to go to Mexico is preferred.
*Penalises KK for presenting faulty evidence*

kay, then what?

*Lucky for SS, I am in mexico, and tj is huge*

be that as it may, Ive still have visited a lot of arcade places in tj, and playing in them just proves my point more. If you havent put in the years(thats right, years), you have NO chance of winning a game against an average player, let alone pull off those 'stupid hard combos'.

btw KK, ive been to other cities in mexico, so its not just a tijuana experiment -__-

well, it has been years since I don't play KOF seriously (like 5) and when I touched KOF XI for the first time, I got used to it in practically... no time.

I've seen lotsa dudes who have never touched a fighting game, but got used to KOF XI pretty fast.. Though I must say that the really tough competitive level you can find around here AND the fact that sometimes they're aided by other players surely help.

But yeah, KOF is still pretty brainless, compared to other fighters.

Damn you! >_<

.

First, theres no XI arcades in tj yet(only consoles) so you may be right about that(with me still disagreeing since I have tried it).

I cant say I like kof because its simplicity. One of the main reasons I still play kof is because of its complex..ci.ci..ty..bleh, yeah that.
Lets not go too far, and use the arcade at my school for example. Almost all the games are fighting games(except for 2 cheapass shooters). Theres Tekken 5, MvC2, CvS2(doesnt work right now), GG XX reaload(something like that) Sf third strike, Soul calibur 3, and that SNK cab with bust-a-move, metal slug X, and kof 2000. I can tell you, I see random people play the games and do fairly well in almost all of them(Especially MvC2), but get their ass whooped by the kof 2000 AI its not funny.

...and yeah, 1 point for me

KOF brainless? I consider the AI for a Capcom game to be easy compared to the AI for KOF.

Kyosuke Kagami · Post by **Kyosuke Kagami** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 21:04

in what world do you live?

KOF's AI is pretty horrible. Even at lv.8 it's a total cake. And let's not talk about the bosses, they're hard because they have overpowered shit, not because they are REALLY tough (unlike bosses from other games, like Gill or... shit even Shin Bison in SFZ3 for Dreamcast).

Post by **SonicTempest** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 21:45

The AI is irrelevant to this discussion. You still haven't proven that it's possible for someone to become a good KOF player in a matter of days.

You'd actually need to come here to prove my point

I was also answering K.A., unless he was sarcastic and I didn't catch it
