RBFF1 is my favorite FF, and one of my favorite fighting games ever.
RBS is weird, the plane system is weird in that game, and I prefer the aesthetics of the first one better than the cartoony one from the other two RBs.
RB2 is better than RBS and Rick and Xiangfei are really fun.

OP again, it took a little longer than expected but I beat Krauser with Terry after 91 continues on easy. There wasn't much of an ending. Actually, no ending. Is it one of those things you gotta do it without losing a match to get the ending? I'm pretty tired, it took about 3.5 hours. I started around 9:30 and now it's after 1am. I ran into some trouble with Axel. I guess I'll save FFS for tomorrow.

Fatal Fury 2 Krauser is a fucking beast, mainly due to leg tomahawk being a regular attack, and Kaiser Wave being a regular special move.

The worst I've had were taking a dozen tries to defeat KOF '94 Rugal and 20 or so tries to defeat Princess Sissy.

Krauser's good, he fought well. I didn't know how to tackle him so my strategy was to stay in the opposite plane and when we were close to being lined up jump in with an attack, which he always blocked, then hit him with a hard punch, which he didn't. Pretty safe, the only real risk was if he jumped too and bodyslammed me.

FF1? I did it this earlier week, I don't know if you consider it cheap but Billy and Geese can both be beaten with only throws with minimal damage. Block Billy until he throws his staff and nudge up next to him while he's cowering and throw him just as he lands from catching the new one, repeat. For Geese just walk up and throw him, or block until it's safe to, then after the throw stay close and try to throw him again. He'll normally try a kick so just duck it and throw him again. I got two perfects on him with this.

Yes, the only throws tactics is kinda cheap. Especially with BIlly since he keeps losing his staff and you have a lot of time to prepare for it. The other cheap one is the knuckle move with Raiden, I can't win without spamming it

Geese was actually the easier for me on normal without any cheap tactics.

>Is there a way to beat this goddamn game without being cheap?
Nope.

This is a pre-Street Fighter II fighting game we're talking about, its all about abusing the programming.

As a opponent gets up from the ground in FF1, they have a split frame where they're vulnerable, and unable to defend themselves. If you time it right, you can attack them with a special move again, knocking them onto the ground attack, and then rinch and repeat until they're dead.

Alright, did some FFS tonight, and it went much better. Used 3 continues with Mai and only 2 with Billy, but it was on beginner mode for babbies like me, so I don't think it's a fair comparison to last night's marathon playthrough. I like Mai, her moves are easy to do and the (beginner) AI has a real problem with avoiding her T. Hawk like dive bombs. Will try some Duck King tomorrow.

>>2730981
With Duck, just use burn knuckle. It seems to have priority over all his moves.

The trick to Tung is damaging him to the point just before he transforms, and then using a special move. If you do it right, once he transforms, you only need to attack him once and he'll transform back again.

He is generally the hardest though, mainly because that transformed state is so ludicrously overpowered. Some of it is just down to luck, but that's early fighting games for you.

MAME still lets you access the operator menu with F2. Check to see if the key was unbound.

AOF 1 is a decent, though much more stiff game control wise. I really liked the story-driven direction though. If you're going to play it though, make sure to grab the boss hack that allows you to play as all the other characters in story move.

AOF 2 looks amazing, and is incredibly classic, but it's tough as nails. Every character you fight is in essence an SNK boss, and the secret boss is like a double-SNK boss.

AOF 3 is fantastic. I wasn't amazingly fond of the new characters (and the main villain is quite generic), but it plays so well and so smoothly that it's the only one I ever consistently go back to. I initially ignored playing it for ages, just because it was so different to the other two AOFs, but in actuality it's easily the best of the three, and unfortunately underrated for the reason I explained above.

>eternal champions is harder than aof

I managed to beat Eternal Champions by finding an AI flaw (with Slash, jump back, press HP, that move has him dash forward and it will nail the AI which tries jumping towards you if you jump back. Also, special throw with MP will always works even if you have no special meter).

I was 12 at the time.

I can't beat AOF today.

Yeah, I suspected as such. Unfortunately, a lot of the places I got them from have already gone within the past year. I also had to use some obscure Spanish and Chinese sites. It might seem surprising, but some took hours to find, so I've taken to backing them up and giving them to other people at their respect, to ensure they aren't lost.

There's also a channel on youtube called Mameplus, who uploads a bunch of boss hacks I was never able to find before. If memory serves, they're Brazilian, and I can't navigate Portuguese for shit though I'm okay at Spanish, so ones I haven't been able to find (The King of the Monsters boss hack for instance) are probably on some obscure Brazilian site somewhere.

I played some FFS last night with Andy and Kim. AI button reads like a mofo, but that's to be expected. Every time I did their desperation move the AI would jump to the other plane, guaranteed. AI Andy is hardest in the game to beat, worse than Krauser almost. He's so mobile and has a counter to everything he's hard to combat.

Alright, did another round of FFS and then moved on to FF3. I'm not sure what to say about it. The inclusion of a 3rd plane seems unnecessary and is really confusing. I have a hard time telling what plane each of us are on and the AI weaves all around me in a Z pattern. I can't seem to avoid getting hit when they align back up with me.

Also how is Pioneer Square NOT the old west stage? Instead it's inside a cathedral? Did they fuck that up or what happened? For some reason it really bugs me.

You've had the same reaction most people had. Fatal Fury 3 either grows on people, or they don't care about it at all. I especially don't like the fact that you can't even fight the last bosses unless you get a certain score. That's alright for hidden bosses, but here it's just a nuisance in an already awkward game. The Real Bout series is a lot lot better, anyway.

FF3 is weird, it looks really cool and has great stages, cutscenes and dialogue, but it plays odd.
Hon Fu's stage is one of the coolest stages ever seen on a fighting game imo.
The old west stage is Dream Amusement Park because it's just that, a part of a theme park. It's not an actual old west setting in the middle of SouthTown.

RBFF1 still has three planes, but they work great, it's my favorite FF game and one of my all time favorite fighting games.

It's based on Real Bout Special (duh), just with Alfred available from the beginning, a original boss and some anime cutscenes.

It also had a 2nd disc where you could interview the characters and learn about their lives and stuff. You could give them presents (each one has something they like and hate), punch them in the noggin, and so on.

The name wasn't changed. Instead of Fatal Fury <number>, it became Fatal Fury Real Bout. I don't really know the reason, probably to signify a new era or something? Mind you, Real Bout is actually a continuation of Fatal Fury 3, so it's not a "reboot".

The series goes like this:
Fatal Fury 1
Fatal Fury 2
Fatal Fury Special
Fatal Fury 3
Fatal Fury Real Bout
Fatal Fury Real Bout Special
Fatal Fury Real Bout 2

The Special games and RB2 don't have any kind of story, they're sorta like Dream Matches, with dead characters coming back to life.

Aiight, played a little more, this time with Mai and Mary. I can see now why people are comparing Laura to Mary. She seems cool but it's a shame her moves are weird because I can't get them to come out often on a D-pad. Mainly the qcf, uf + P ones. Trying to end on the uf without touching up and jumping to ruin it is tricky.

Mai was cool but seemed weak. Do some characters in this game/series have lower defense or attack than others? I couldn't beat Geese with her and had to switch to Terry, and beat him the first time.

>Mainly the qcf, uf + P ones
This is the reason I don't play KOF 95 all that much. The only times those styles of moves worked was when the character was unable to jump, like Mr. Big in AOF1.

>>2743673
>Mai was cool but seemed weak. Do some characters in this game/series have lower defense or attack than others?

I always thought she was quite weak too, even in the KOF series. She is a ninja, so her style is more about counters and quick strikes if I remember correctly. Never appealed to me though, personally.

Eh, don't be hard on yourself about that. You'll get a lot better over time. I found that, oddly enough, playing a lot of Last Bronx helped me with fighting SNK bosses. It taught me to be much more receptive to countering the opponent and waiting for them to move, instead of trying to jump the gun.

Omega Rugal, like most KOF bosses, can be defeated by timing your defends well, and then sweeping the leg. It's cheap, but whatever works, works, I say.

Sinclair's tricky, and I can't give much advice for her other than trying to anticipate and counter her moves. She's very erratic (which doesn't help) but she is beatable if you have the patience. If you were feeling cheap but not too cheap, you could put in the code to play as Wyler and try it first with him.

As for King Leo and Jyazu, there's no advice I can give you. They're just monsters, and I only ever beat them by luck. Like Sissy with Matrimelee, they're the main reason I rarely play Kizuna Encounter.

>>2746185
There's a pretty easy trick for Omega Rugal 98. Give yourself some distance from him first (three-character distance), do a neutral jump (just jump up) and use any attack. If your distance is just right, Rugal will use Genocide Cutter 90% of the time, which will miss. He'll always use the strong version, so you have time to run up to him and do any combo before he reaches the ground.

Just train with it for a while until you find the correct distance - not too far, not too near (so you don't get caught in Genocide Cutter). I can now defeat him with a single character.

*If your character has a triangle jump (like Athena) or jumps much higher than others (Choi) you can just jump over Rugal, and he'll do the Genocide Cutter and miss.

Changed a surprising amount per year. 94 and 95 aren't too different from one another, but after that each instalment had unique backgrounds, music, characters and bosses associated with each game, to the point that (unlike Madden) it's always worth going back to each game in the series from time to time.

The combat system changes quite a bit between games, although it changes the least between 94 and 97 - the biggest difference between those 2 is than in 95 edit teams became possible, while in 94 they were all preset. Also everyone got a new special move in 95 except for the AoF team, who already had a pretty complete arsenal.

In 96 the series became more of its own beast. The sprites got bigger, rolls were introduced and projectiles deemphasized.

In 97 everyone got a 2nd super (in 96 few characters did), and most importantly, the choice between the Advanced (newer mechanics from 96 with the ability to store power bars) and Extra (94/95 system) modes.

98 refined 97's system, and extended your ability to use the power bar as you lost characters. Also, you can now whiff throw specials and supers.

99 introduced strikers, tried to make rolling more aggressive by making you move forward after you roll back, and introduced special modes to get super armor or unlimited use of supers for a while, IIRC.

2000 tweaked the 99 system but returned back rolls to normal, and I think it let you "reload" striker calls.

2001, like the 2 games before it, let you have 4-character teams, but this time up to 3 of them can be strikers.

2002 got back to the more traditional team mode, but introduced a MAX mode that let you cancel moves to extend combos, as well as hidden supers whhich you can only use with low life and MAX mode.

2003 introduced tag team mode and etam leader supers.

XI refined 2003's tag team system, but also enabled combos from switching characters. Most importantly, other than the power bar it also introduced a skill bar which is used for actions that aren't attacks, like guard cancel rolls.

XII was a back to basics with a attack clash system.

XIII boosted what 2002 did by enabling longer combos during its special mode, letting you use half the bar that enables that mode to let you cancel specials automatically as well as giving you EX specials.

One thing to mention is that during '94/'95, you had this weird mishmash of various systems, while from '96 and forward, they were unified.

I'll explain: in '94/'95, the Fatal Fury characters could walk while crouched (this comes from Fatal Fury), while the Art of Fighting characters could use the Haoh Sho Ko Ken without a special bar.

Yeah, this is a common problem some people seem to have. Kabuki Klash was "Street Fighter with swords", but Sam Sho is a different breed of game, particularly the early ones. It's mostly about strikes and baiting/countering with special moves, as opposed to relying on special moves. For 1 and 2, at least. In the games after that it could never decide if it wanted to be Street Fighter with swords, or something entirely else.

It's bad that I learned about the Achilles heel of SNK bosses being the goddamn Sweep in XIII, but it doesn't necessarily apply to all of them, like King Leo for starters (who you have to just defend and when he starts taunting unload your combo). And the fucker taunts rarely. I can't even cleanly beat him as King Leo myself (but it's fun to play him). And then you have Jyazu and his psychic counters.

Appreciate the tips though.

And fuck Sinclair still. Wyler was a bit easier than her erratic movement.

>>2747596

In general, KOF fans tell you to go for 98 and 2002 because they kind of are the best for that period (and have all the characters for that "saga" for instance). The UM games changes things up a lot and improves of some things.

You still did good regardless and I hope you enjoy.

The soundtrack is killer too, to boot. For 98 at least.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly. Leo will just combo you to death given the chance, or just chip away your health if he feels like it.

Fighting against Sinclair again, she's just as bad as I remember. The way she always trips you up in obnoxious as all hell. However, I found she's not too difficult to defeat by chipping her health with haohkens, or catching her in a zanretsu ken. Somewhat cheap, but if they don't play fair, you shouldn't either.

2002UM has 22 extra characters. It's one of the best, most complete fighting games in existence. The original 2002 didn't include most of the characters introduced in the saga (the entire point of the game, as 98 was to the Orochi saga), and 2002UM more than made up for it.

Oh, my apologies.

UM is the definite version of 98, but it's underwhelming compared to 2002UM and XI, which are both fantastic.

Yeah, PS3/4 ones are pretty much as you described. PS3 ones are cheaper, too. You can also used a wired 360 controller.

I can't play fighting games with a controller like that though. I actually prefer a keyboard over it, but that's probably because I've been emulating fighting games for years. That said, use whatever is comfortable for you.

This. It's not going to knock your socks off, but it does have a coherent, enjoyable story, that builds up a certain canon over time and helps to make each game enjoyable in their own way.

Wow, to each their own I guess. I don't find any of the story stuff in KoF worth a damn. But also I specifically hate playing fighters single player so that biases me some. I will only ever play a single player mode if I need to unlock something.

Not yet, it's a hassle to get back there since this TV is weird and they don't plug in horizontally, you gotta get down and push them up into it so I haven't bothered and I'd have to pull the whole thing out. I thought maybe there was some PS2 setting hidden somewhere in the startup that would make it look better.

Blame Atomiswave-era SNK's everything. The hi-res backgrounds they started to use around then just bring notice to the the lo-res character sprites.

when I play XI, I just turn the sprite filter off so it's pixelated, fuck it
XI isn't a supremely pretty game, and I accepted that.

98UM lets you select Ultimate mode (pick and choose things, I like setting it to pretty much be KOF96's run+roll, but you can charge up supers) in addition to Advanced (modern KOF meter, run, and roll mechanics) and Extra (KOF94/95 style mechanics -- charge for meter, dash steps, and sidestep dodges)

There's also quite a bit of re-balancing. Loads of characters have EX variations as well, hold start when selecting them.
as an extreme example of the rebalancing, Lucky went from kind of crap in original 98 to absolutely stupid good in 98UMFE.

>KoF puts enough focus on its stories that it's worth taking out for a spin in single player.

the 99/2000/2001 story is probably one of the dumbest things ever though

The Real Bout series was absolutely dripping with style, where SNK really wanted to bring all kinds of flashy goodness to the screen. All the special moves are satisfyingly exaggerated with projectiles as tall as the player and massive bursts of fire that take up a third of the screen and shit. The color palette is eye-catchingly loud and inviting. The animations are pretty good too.

my favorite intro ever is from Real Bout Special, when Terry leaps into the air and you see the afterimages of the star on his back, hnnnnnnnnng
So fucking cool.

In addition, Extra mode (or its ultimate, it's been a while since I played) allows you to stock that full charge and pop it in a combo much like Max Mode popping in 2002.

Also, yeah. the NESTS saga completely pales in comparison with how the original Orochi saga went. Trying to tl;dr them is fun though

>99 - High School Dropout/Demigod Slayer gets kidnapped and cloned to make an army to rule the world. One of them, a kid who turns into cyberpunk Bruce Lee (with flames) and his Robot/Cyborg buddy stop this. Also rocks are dropped.
>2000 - That last plan failed so instead NESTS makes a cannon powered by fighting spirit and almost destroys Southtown. Also there's another clone made of reversed Kyo DNA and she becomes a qt ice grill.

I don't even know how to do 2001 without solely resorting to quoting Lovable Igniz and Colony Drops.

I also forgot to bring up instances of Tetsuo being there but not really, a Mexican Dwayne Johnson Fangirl, and a Korean Kamen Rider Fangirl joining the fray.

That also being said, I think 2001 has the best Kyo/Iori rival intro animation, second being 98's.

The NESTS story brought in the likes of Vanessa and May Lee, but it lacks the family/legacy factor that brought some humanity to the broader Orochi and Ash sagas - not to mention all the technology in it was too easy a reminder that guns tends to beat fighting skills in most contexts.

Because otherwise you suddenly had pseudo futuristic sci fi guys randomly throwin in the middle of a lot guys who just sream 90's, in a game that takes place in 1999, no less.

She's really not. That move actually kind of sucks because of how slow it is. If you can combo into it you can repeat the whipping a few times for some nice damage, but otherwise it's not very practical.

In '99 she was garbage, but everyone was pretty sucky that year. She gets progressively better each year though and by 2002 was comfortably mid tier.

I will say that out of the various fighter franchises, KoF's characters and story are among the more interesting. But I still think they're only a tiny notch above pointless filler. Just a handful of convenient excuses to have these crazy folks get in a bunch of brawls.

Since the very first Fatal Fury they started mentioning little story bits into the manuals, the games themselves and other materials that over time sort of built into a little world that barely needs the fighting and tournaments for the characters to have interesting interactions, I tend to respect that.

For example, in FF1 they established Tung was once Geese's teacher - at the time that seemed like a silly detail to bother with, since none of those characters were playable then. That was on top of the bit about Geese having killed Terry and Andy's fester dad Jeff, whom Tung had also taught.

Over time they also established that Tung taught Cheng from FF2 (whom doesn't exactly give the impression of being someone you'd be proud to associate with).
Then FF3 introduced the Jin twins and the Jin scrolls plot, and Real Bout's end had Jin Chonrei destroy the scrolls which apparently were part of the source of his and his brother's power (and possession by their ancestors):
http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/c/rbff1jinr.htm

RBS was basically plotless, but it was interesting the Chonrei shared a stage with Tung, and Chonshu shared Kim's.

Then in the RB2 endings you have Kim training the twins, maybe because he thought they needed the reforming treatment he dishes out to Chang and Choi in KoF:
http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/a/rb2kim.htm
However, in Chonshu's ending you get something similar to Kim's, but Chonrei is away:
http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/a/rb2jin.htm
You also see Tung taking Chonrei as a pupil in their endings:
http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/a/rb2chon.htm
http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/a/rb2tung.htm

You can derive from this a subplot about the aging Tung finding his martial arts legacy endangered since some of his more talented students ended up dead or lacking in moral fiber - however, Chonrei taking the initiative to destroy a source of power to stop an ongoing conflict showed promise, so now he's trying to train him.

What really blows my mind is learning how integral Takashi Nishiyama was to the history of fighting games in general:

Kung Fu Master/Spartan X at Irem
Street Fighter (1) at Capcom
Fatal Fury and everything else until 2000 at SNK
Then he founded Dimps, which fittingly handled the NGPC SNK Vs Capcom, and later took on SF4.

Curiously, the new KoF14 producer, Yasuyuki oda, was with SNK since 1993, then moved to Dimps in 2001, and is now at SNKP - I'm curiosu to see how that will work out...

SNK kinda painted themselves into a corner with how niche the NeoGeo was, and how vulnerable it becme to piracy over the years - but without them pushing the envelope, the genre wouldn't have come as far as it did.

OP again, Jaws is done so I've been doing Real Bout, RBS, and RB2.

RB:
Not sure I like this one. I only went through it once but it's still 3 planes it seems like, and the new button format is weird. What is this "jolt special" button? I just end up using it all match since it seems to hit pretty hard. Kinda disappointed there's so few stages too, and ring-outs are weird. I'll try it again later.

RBS:
This one seems godly. Back to 2 planes, and when the other guy's in the background there's lots of ways to hit him easily. I went through a couple times with Terry and Mai and it was really easy to do all their moves (minus desperations). I still don't get how the new power bar system works, but I'll practice. I want to go back through a few more times with other guys, but this is the best one so far. All the stage intros are really cool too.

RB2:
It says newcomers but there's only 2 new guys? It doesn't seem like much of an improvement over the last one, and now you can only hit someone in the background if you hit the plane shift button, which if they come at you just as you press it you shift instead. Not as fluid in that regard, but I can adjust. I still think RBS was better.

I'm playing it on disc on my TV, so that's a no go. The CPU is at least reasonable in this, unlike FFS.

Is RBS Krauser the easiest final boss of all time? All you have to do with Mai is just fire tail whip him endlessly and he goes down without hardly a fight.

Billy and Laurence on the other hand are a different matter entirely. Any tips on how to handle these guys? Billy's staff reaches clear across the screen with no charge-up time so I can't even get close to him. I just block and look for openings but there's such a short window he gets me first.

Laurence I don't even know. The guy just does all kinds of crazy flips of his cape and next thing I know I'm dead. I have no idea how to read this guy. Even playing as him in practice mode to see his moves didn't help.

I have beat both of them without a continue before, it's just a matter of doing it consistently. My best overall is 5 continues.

Playing against the CPU is fine, you can still practice no problem even with idle CPU that just blocks your attacks.
Also, you are a complete and total autist if you can't understand not everyone plays at tournaments.

And there's nothing to be gained by playing online. You will get all the timing wrong and also you will getting bad habits from playing with lots of unoriginal scrubs that copy strategies from Youtube videos rather than come up with original, new ways to play.

At this point it's beyond evident that you never, EVER assisted to a real tournaments, you only play online with random teenagers who want to be hardcore (but their mom won't let them) and call yourself a competitive player. LOL!

I want to get into VF3, but that's probably the second least played VF in the US (least played is 1).
VF3's movement is so fucking sexy and dynamic.
Wasn't able to get into VF3 back in the day because I never saw a VF3 cab ever and I didn't have a DC back then.

>Wasn't able to get into VF3 back in the day because I never saw a VF3 cab ever and I didn't have a DC back then.

I regularly went to an arcade with VF2, Virtua Fighter Kids and Fighting Vipers 2 machines. VF2, as I said, always rekted my shit, but I still enjoyed it. They also had a Mortal Kombat 4 machine, and I could never, in the span of 3 years, even get past the first opponent on that one. I managed to get up to B.M. on Fighting Vipers 2 somehow, but once and only once.

On one occasion, I went to a different arcade and saw a VF3 machine. It's difficult to describe that feeling, going from seeing VF2 to VF3, but I was in complete amazement. Like, actually stunned. I remember that mesh costume Kage has as his second outfit, and accidentally picking it. Going from something like VF2 (which, with a yellow ninja, was somewhat goofy) to the more realistic image of VF3 was just incredible.

That VF2 machine got replaced eventually by a Capcom vs SNK machine of all things. I only remember playing it once, but I did get up to Geese, who then proceeded to destroy me with ease.

It's funny the things we remember.

>everyone getting rekt by VF2 machines

I still dread the time I tried to play VF2 and the first opponent I'd fight is hard mode Lau. I didn't even know about the guard button as a kid and I'd always fall for his PPPK/PPP2K strings.

I still fear Lau in the more modern games but have also grown to appreciate how cool/badass he is. Not to mention customizing him to make him look like Master Asia is cool stuff.

I saw a VF3 cabinet at a local arcade long long ago but never played it. Sad to see it ignored right next to a Tekken 2 machine with full unlocks (and it was also being ignored too because everyone flocked to Marvel 2 and TTT1).

Got to play VF3 (TB) later on and it was pretty good as far as I recall. Since then, I've at least learned a bit and stuck with Wolf giant swinging people to death.

Also, so I finally got time to try out AOF3 again. I've finally overcome Sinclair (after about 15 continues) but now Karman Cole is parrying my shit.

To give it a bit of style, probably. AOF was always excused of being generic, or a SF2 clone, so they probably just wanted to further differentiate it. It's weird that she has an exotic design and yet Wyler is just a generic big guy. As it was a sort of reboot, I suspect they were just experimenting.

they aped everything but the visuals from 3D fighters in AOF3, that game is weird

kind of a shame it's so weird, it has nice visuals (fucking HUGE, smooth sprites) and seems like it could be fun
played it with some buddies on his Neo, and then we went back to playing KOF98 after half an hour, it was too offputting

I really want to like the AOF series more than I do, shit's just kind of out-there mechanically.

OP here, I've played through almost all of them now. My rankings:

RBS = FF1 > RB2 > FFS

They're all good, but I just don't like the ones with 3 planes even though they seem like they would be really fun if you can adjust to it, I just didn't put in the time yet. RBS has more options but 1 just feels great to me, and it's not hard. FFS goes at the end because it looks and plays fine but the AI is brutal. RB2 is not bad but I'm unhappy with how they make you switch control schemes depending on if your opponent switches planes. It too is probably fun when you get used to it, but playing it right after RBS it threw me off really bad. And they took out some moves :/ Haven't got to play MotW at all because it's not on the anthology collections.
