I think at this point it's better to release the game as is and let people at least play it.
If there ARE any issues, Code Mystics could always patch it later.
With these delays, (based on what I've seen on the forums people are canceling their pre-orders over this) which could be an indicator of a lost sale.

Lol, I guess it waited for me to get home to unlock for you guys.

My friend is having problems with his stick for some reason. He has it downloaded already.
Apparently, he can use it to navigate menus but not actually play. Bizarre, hopefully its just something on his end.

My Qanba stick is not working either. Only the buttons are responding.

What's the difference between the $14.99 and $24.99 versions? The only diff I see is $24.99 is all caps.
2nd one might be 98UM+98? Wouldn't surprise me if 98 was a pre-order bonus in this case XP
The $24.99 version is a two-pack.

I assume the more expensive one is a two-pack

Odd that it isn't labeled as such.

Oh come on, why can't they have these up when the initial game is on pre-order =/
I would've gladly gotten a 2-pack.

OK sweet got the Starbucks now it's live LET'S FUCKING GET IT.
It's funny; I expect bad netcode from anything SNK now. I used to be so into these games, would spend literally hundreds of dollars on new releases back in the Neo-Geo days, spent tons of time in arcades playing everything they put out when I lived in Japan, and all that...
...And then they started putting out games on the previous gen consoles, with shitty netcode, and it all went to hell.

I can't think of too many games that allowed more than 1 copy pre-orders.

None of my friends online have this game yet.
So fairly important question to ask in regards to netplay.
Is there an option to filter out tournament banned characters (i.e Orochi Iori / Leona, Goenitz, Omega Rugal, and Orochi)
I can probably deal with mediocre netplay, but if there is no filtering options. I can't imagine what it be like going in random rooms with full teams of comprised of any one of those character combinations.

I did pop an online match.
Seems those bosses you want banned aren't even selectable.
It was a bit laggy but it was 140ms ping so some input delay is expected. Wasn't terrible and was decent given the circumstance, I suspect below 100 will be better.
Got my play my in-state daughtero, and at around 40 ping it felt good.
So I guess my verdict is this is around SF4-level netcode and probably ok for half-country play, but not coast-to-coast.
Controls did feel a bit off, but that could be pad buttons.
Also a Hori FC4 set to PS4 settings will not be recognized, had to set to PS3 settings.
Netcode is not good enough for me to buy a non-rollback SNK game in future- this hits me in the feels, so I could tolerate shit I wouldn't with another title. This netcode is mildly shitty.

I don't have to much to add other than KOF 98 is awesome and the thread title made me laugh.

He got to work using Xpadder, somehow.

played two matches so far. Pretty decent! For those who had stick problems, I initially couldn't get the stick to function (using an HRAP3). I had to switch from d-pad to one of the analogs then it was all good.

Works almost perfectly with 140 ping. So far so good.

pretty much all my matches below like 180 have been great. Not having any execution issues but I definitely am more reluctant to attempt combos into super from cr.B.
