Neo Geo Battle Coliseum (XBLA)

I know the game is rather old (I played it in Hong Kong in 04 and bought the imported version back in 05/06), and they re-released it on ps2 some years back, and now its re-re-released on xbla. Anybody checked the game out yet? I can personally say that the netcode is the best out of all of the SNKP games released on xbla. Hit me up for some matches also.

 

I play, its good fun and the online really helps.

 

This game came out? Wow How is the Online?

 

I totally suck at this game but mudman is awesome.

 

Yeah, is this game any good?

I've never played it before...

Fun? Balanced?

-- Thanks

 

Fun yes balanced no. Tung is the most unbalance character.

 

I dunno about that anymore... He gets crushed easily by classic Kof characters, and Washizuka... He's almost the same as his ps2 kof xi incarnation... He used to be able to cancel his gekihou into his qcfx2+k in the old ngbc and he couldn't anymore. It pushes back alittle further than it did in the original also.

Mr. Big is busted. I use him and Tung as a team, with Tung being the battery, and Mr. Big I use his 2+D, 623+C xx qcfx2+C combo... Does so much chip and normal dmg, and with 3 stocks, it does a gangload of dmg...

NGBC Tier List

Last I checked, even the bosses are around B/C tier, with the exception of Goodman. Goodman is busted even with only a few moves... Dark Geese has a vid on youtube that proves how busted he is...

 

tung isnt even in the top tier...big is, or at least used to be. he is simple but i dont think hes as strong as kim or hotaru, or even marco, moriya or robert

 

you bastards will have to teach me how to play. i think my rock and kim are pretty solid though. I like the fact you can customize characters and throw them out there. I got the MagnetroKim

 

I got it and learning. Very intereting game so far.

 

There's really not much to it. Whatever strat you use for (x) character in the game they're originally from works for the most part. A few things have changed, like ultimate juggle hits, grounded hits, and other links, but Kim pretty much plays the same, and Rock, well- just poke enough til your close for that command throw and combo off of that. That's what most cats do anyway...

 

May bad i was going by was i seen with the Japanese NGBC tournaments. Tung Cheapness was on full blast along with Big's pressure and roberts pressure. I never got to deep into this game because i never own it but im going to get involved heavily in this one. If i could find the Videos this dude was Tearing Ass with Tung. I really think they got shit twisted with his tier list. Question... Did they rebalanced this game?

 

It seems slightly changed imo. Like I was saying before, Tung can't do everything he could before, and it seems like his gekihou doesn't tank like it used to. I remember busting that move out, and it would eat a super and I still managed to get one hit out of it, winning a match. I personally think everyone has a real chance of winning though. Asura is still mad garbage though, but thats just my thoughts...

 

Game is good fun, new stages and sprites look nice too. I wish more SNK games could combine characters from World Heroes, Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown and Last Blade.

 

You guys make it sound like its pretty good. I will have to buy it and check it out.

See you fellas on there after if figure out what I'm doing.

 

I'm enjoying this title way more than SSFIV. I never got to play the arcade, but only the PS2 version. I went to a couple of gatherings back then, and from the few cats that were there agreed on one thing, "balance" not perfect, but very solid. I'm rocking Kaede and Moriya. I usually switch Kaede with Shiki, Rock or Shermie. BTW folks, Tung is "Okay" not strong as some people make it out to be. He just has good trick setups. You need to know your match-ups in this game. And they're not that hard to figure out as well. Anyway, I can't believe they still didn't fix the DP motion in this game for certain character's. That's BS.

 

Don't mean to bump the thread, but I came across this page.

I do remember some cats talking about how the tier listing for this game in Japan is totally different than the tier listing in the US... Kisarah for one jumped to A tier in Japan, whereas I believe she's C tier here in the states... I believe the same case goes for Ai and even Mr. Big (his torpedoes and rushdowns aren't too hard to stop)...

 

how is the netcode?

i only ask because to say the 360 ports of 98um and garou have netcode at all is being generous.
