Anyone know the peak times most people are on?

 

[Loona]

That might depend on the time zone...

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Netcode should be fixed for everyone now that the beta improvements have made it to the main branch.

Say I've never played a KOF but have jammed SF for years. Good place to jump in?

Yeah - not having 2002's MAX mode or XIII's HD combos lets you focus more on its basics and other mechanics common throughout most of the series.

Yup, you can still play it as a simple fighting game, if you want something more familiar, stick to Advanced mode, 1 stock of meter can be used for super moves.

You can also use 1 stock of meter in order to do defensive maneuvers while blocking which aren't too hard to do.

Picked it up on sale today.

Anyone have any good SweetFx settings for this? This is the best I've found, but the resolution is a little off.

The ones linked in this thread don't seem right. Stuff looks too blocky/weird.

Is it easy to find someone online to play with ? I mean find some random player ?

 

[alstein]

Unfortunately no, unlike you like 400+ pings from Asians.

98 was always more popular in Asia, and 2k2 more popular in the Americas.

Asians have better taste. ^_^

 

[Amedo310]

Which part of Asia? Japan really don't care much about FE since it came out too late, especially since the game was not even featured in the last Dueling the KOF tournament, and China has 97.

We can all add each other

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I played some matches and foud people with max ping at about 150 or 200 was pretty hard.

And I even played some lag matches, ping in between 650 - 800 and, I was surprised in see how people are used to play like that. I was barely able perform a simple command, while people was doing some combos.

If you guys want to add me just look for Yagami_Sama

I have bought all version of that game - PS2 on PS4, XBLA and PC. Love them all. Some thoughts:

1. Currently you can buy PS2 version for cheap price on PSN. It has additional modes, artworks, OST versions and both 3D and 2D backgrounds that are not in XBLA/PC ports. Would love to see one more revision with additional characters (KoF characters form newer games that historicly belng to older games like Duck King, World Heroes team etc).
2. XBLA port can be played on Xbox One. Same story with NGBC that features great, re-drawn sprites:

3. You can buy Neo-Geo version of KoF98 on Switch, XBLA, PS4 etc, howevr avoid western releases of Orochi Saga - input lag and emulation are terrible.
4. Best versions for online play is still emu on PC, so SNK could/should do one more version with good netcode.

All in all KoF98 for me is one of evergreens - games so playable and perfect that I have played it in 1998, I play it now, I will play it in 10 years. Just like with Outrun 2k6, Heroes 3, Garou, or Doom.
Awesome game.
