So, what was the best SNK game?

[Anonymous No.4527012]

[Anonymous No.4527021]

>>4527012
What makes it so good to you? I played it recently and thought it hadn't aged well.

[Anonymous No.4527121]

>>4527010
You posted it. A lot of them were pretty excellent though.

>>4527021
Not him, but FF is an excellent beginner's series.

[Anonymous No.4527128]

You already posted it, or a Metal Slug game, to be honest when the guys at school invited me to the arcade I just went to the Metal Slug one

Although it may not be "the best", I honestly have more love for Samurai Shodown than for any KOF.

>aged
what do you mean?

[Anonymous No.4527326]

>>4527310
It means he's underage.

[Anonymous No.4527342]

>>4527010
I will go with Real Bout 2 or Samurai Showdown 3.
>>4527021
Get out of here, the only shit Fatal fury is the first one.

Not him, but it's a commonly used expression in English. Just look it up if you're not a native speaker and confused.

[Anonymous No.4527356]

- Samurai Shodown
- Art of Fighting 2
- Sengoku 2
- Fatal Fury Special
- Super Sidekicks 2
- Garou
- Metal Slug 2 / X
- Kof 96 / 98

Some of my favourites.

[Anonymous No.4527357]

>>4527010
Last Blade 2 or MotW.

The KOF's are garbage.

'no'

I played the first Fatal Fury in the arcades when it got released. I loved it back then. But 25 years later I find the gameplay somewhat weird, the graphics dated, and the game a good notch below SF2 overall...

>>4527342
I didn't say it was "shit" though.

[Anonymous No.4527389]

>>4527380
Wait, instead of saying you're more knowledgeable on the genre and the like you say the game has aged? Okay lol
>the graphics dated
Ok, troll confirmed, hope you enjoyed the (You)s.

[Anonymous No.4527978]

>>4527389
Look at Andy's design (after years of playing later KOFs) and tell me he still looks fresh and well done. Seriously, it is dated.

Meanwhile, no amount of playing SFA2 or CvS2 will make Ken's SF2 sprite obsolete, except maybe in one of two details like his face in the animation victory in SF2:WW.

[Anonymous No.4527992]

> Top Tier:
Samurai Shodown 2 and 5 Special
Last Blade 1 and 2
KOF 2002
KOF 98
Garou/Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves

Those are the top games SNK games ever made. Everything else ranges from excellent to not so great.

[Anonymous No.4528060]

>>4527380
What's "weird" about Fatal Fury Special's gameplay?

[Anonymous No.4528330]

>>4528060
>playing on two different lines
It was radically cool back then, as it was the closest thing to 3D we had before 3D, but today it's merely clumsy and annoying.

>huge-ass jumps
So high that your own character partly disappears on top of the screen.

>cannot run by pressing forward twice
...while you can jump back by pressing back twice.

Stuff like that. But I'm just playing it right now and it's not dramatically dated either, we're not talking about Art of Fighting here. It's even quite good. Chill out everyone.

[Anonymous No.4528336]

>>4528330
And yes, I know that SNK introduced the whole "jump back and run" thing and that it was a gameplay enhancement; it's just that it feels weird today to have one thing without the other.

[Anonymous No.4528338]

>>4528330
>but today it's merely clumsy and annoying.
I think it's cool to be able to dodge attacks by switching planes then quickly striking back
>cannot run by pressing forward twice
What other fighters at the time let you run?
Anyway jumping back and fort is good for footsies.

[Anonymous No.4528360]

>>4528338
>at the time
We're not at the time, we're in 2018 and it feels incomplete by today's standards. Fatal Fury 3 feels so much smoother because you can run...

The whole Fatal Fury series embodies what was ultra-cool in the 90s but not so much today, btw.

[Anonymous No.4528365]

>>4528360
Weird, FF3 is probably one of the least liked by fans.
Anyway, to me FFS is one of the best old school fighters, with Real Bout Special.
Garou is fine, but it's the least "fatal fury-like" of the bunch.

[Anonymous No.4528429]

>>4527978
Wow, such a dealbreaker, anon!

[Anonymous No.4528476]

I quite like Art of Fighting 3

[Anonymous No.4528478]

>>4528365
Why is FF3 unliked? I played it only superficially but found it enjoyable.

>>4527356
>Super Sidekicks 2
Care to explain why? I find it unplayable compared to ISS Deluxe or other soccer games from the era.

>mfw I went to the World Cup semifinals by doing 0-0 against everyone and winning on penalties
>mfw you lose a credit when you draw and have to insert another coin to do the penalty kicks

[Anonymous No.4528486]

>>4528478

because Real Bout was out and is way better

Speaking of which,

What's wrong with that sprite? He looks badass there, he looks less masculine in his later incarnations.
Love his stage too.

[Anonymous No.4528773]

>>4528478
I mean, if one of your complaints about FF was the plane switch, then you'd hate FF3 because it has 3 different planes instead of 2 like the other games.
Real Bout kept the 2 plane and made it faster and smoother.

[Anonymous No.4528776]

This one.

[Anonymous No.4528813]

>>4528776
I remember spending a crap ton of money playing this game, everyday after school and weekends we used to make tournaments betting real money or sometimes porn mags, this one time there was a dude who lost his fucking bike, he then went to the cops saying that his bike was stolen and we had to defend the other guy.

I haven't played Super Sidekicks 2 in a long time, but I remember having fun, but I'm not an expert in soccer games. Actually, there's a lot of nostalgic factor to me liking that game, because I remember having a great summer in 1994 and even watching a bit of the World Cup and playing the game in arcades back then.

So I recently got a NeoGeo CD, are there any games on it that have any notable differences in them compared to their AES version? (Besides CD music and loading of course)

[Anonymous No.4529878]

>>4527992
same but add FF3 because I loved the story

[Anonymous No.4529881]

>>4529872
There's is a bunch of bonus content for a lot of games like additional survival modes in Real Bout 2 and KoF 97, the Combat School in the two first Metal Slug... Look it up, Neo Geo CD vesions are really interesting.

[Anonymous No.4529981]

>>4528476
We had a thread for AoF 3 a few weeks ago. While it is a beautiful game and has some awesome characters, backgrounds, and a great soundtrack - it's just awkward to have a 2-d fighting game that tries to play like Virtua Fighter. There are too many knock downs that slow the fights down (and the knock downs last like 2-3 seconds). This works in 3-D fighting games but is just janky in a 2-d one.

Also, I would say that the Metal Slug series as a whole are some of the top games SNK made. X and 3 are really great games.

[Anonymous No.4530021]

What is the best fatal fury game?

[Anonymous No.4530053]

>>4529981

I think it's fun. I like that kind of pace. Not every 2d fighter needs to move at guilty gear speed

[Anonymous No.4530062]

[Anonymous No.4530074]

>>4528765
I find that sprite a bit stiff and plain-looking... The stages are great indeed.

>>4528773
That's true, but as FF3 is faster, the planes are less disturbing to me. It breaks the already slow pace too much in FFS. Haven't played Real Bout ever (I think?) so can't comment on this.

>>4529131
Yeah, I get it.

IT WAS MAX 330 MEGA

WHY DO THEY LIE LIKE THIS

REEEEEEEEEEEE

[Anonymous No.4530154]

>>4530141
330 is technically the max. They ended up making game boards with a built in memory controller that did memory banking to allow for expanding it beyond.

Turf Masters or Magical Drop 3

KoF98 is also really good,Ii play it almost everyday
