I do practice but I still suck. Maybe it's just the way I play 2D fighting games.

[Derock]

Well I just downloaded King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match from XBLA and I still suck at 2D fighters. I have no idea what's wrong with me but I can't play 2D fighters to save my life! It pisses me off when I can hold my own in Virtua Fighter 5 online against some of the best players in the world yet I can't beat the first few stages in Street Fighter IV on normal difficulty. Anyone have any ideas on this? God I hate 2D fighters right now!

Well, if you follow and understand the terminology of Street Fighter, since the former and KOF are very similar, you'll be better with 2-D.

I remember back in the day I sucked at the series because I was young and I haven't follow the coordinates of the controller (and there was no Training/Practice back then)... and this was like when SF was very popular on SNES and Genesis (user on the latter). It took me about over 15 years of playing the series to become better (learning charged Super Combos is a primarily example).

My best suggestion for everyone is: STICK with EASY diffculty then focus your way up towards the next level. It will help getting the unlockables/extras better. Plus Training/Trials are your friends to master those moves.

Now mind you, I just starting playing KOF for a couple of years, though its a little bit more complex than SF in terms of controls (Super Moves for the KOF characters are alot easier than SF characters, however) because of the highly defense and offense moves that need to be mastered.

You luckily didn't have to go through other SNK 2-D fighting series like Fatal Fury. You'll probably throw the console out the window if you faced an SNK-Syndrome boss like Geese.

I think I'll just stick to 3D fighting games. I prefer them over 2D. Not surprising since I'm a Virtua Fighter fan. I enjoy a 2D fighter every now and then but VF/3D fighters are my kind of games. I just hate how people spam moves the whole freakin' time online and I can't do a thing. That's not a problem in VF.

Titan Studios have acknowledged that Fat Princess is buggy, and are working on a patch. Hopefully they deliver it soon, because I don't want to see such a good game go to waste.

[Mik3]

Theres alot of people still trtying to get in, they need to make a hell lot more servers.

[Illmatic]

I dont think they expected that so many people would be playing it, but the whole concept is very appealing so im not surprised.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

I usually start a game, friends can get in much easier... In fact I'm gonna start one in a few minutes, feel free to join in

[Mik3]

Looks like I'll be seeing you, Illmatic and Shadow in a few weeks.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Well, I dunno, couldn't join Mik3's game twice....if only there was a way to keep playing Soccer and not have the map change next round....

[Cloud]

Is the gameplay more stable now? Able to find games quickly, at least?

I don't feel like putting down 15 dollars on a buggy game. (At least they pulled the patch out within the week)

[Illmatic]

So technically speaking, the game is still SOMEWHAT broken?

no, its MUCH easier to find matches, it used to to take me a couple of tries to find one but thats no longer the case.

Good.

[shadow_Uzumaki]
