Orochinagi: The King of Fighters

Tweet If you’ve just bought 360 2k2um, welcome to high level play!  .. But you should have waited for netcode reviews… 1P’s Hinako is nasty enough, but what I find interesting is 2P’s Mature – arguably little risk with the HCF A, almost spamming it! Mature’s strategy involves trapping the opponent with qcf hcb P [...]

Tweet If you’re looking to go online, don’t buy it.  It won’t work. We’ll let you know when it’s working. In fact, don’t buy it at all until we tell you it has good netcode.

Tweet Kakashisaid02 and usernamer met again but revenge was not gained!  Usernamer took a comfortable lead against Tinfou but it was the best of 5 matches.  Near the end, it looked like usernamer was starting to fool around, and Tinfou used Goro to snatch back the win, and then go on with some hefty Kim [...]

Tweet Every Match: Playlist link if the above doesn’t work Or if you wanted to skip straight to the finals: Hokuto Yousseff had the advantage having had some good practice but Jeremie knows his KOF well, easily pulling out 2k2 style cancels. The finals were best of 5.  In the end, Yousseff’s Leona took the [...]

Tweet This is an example of how we’re going to promote clan members. Giga D’s GGPO handle is Usernamer123.   I still don’t know how he managed to fight online considering the distance to Morocco, but whatever, that’s impressive!  His opponent, Kakashi02said, had some nice tricks too. [Official page] As you know, the next tourney is [...]

Tweet Having had a few days to reflect, and watching the videos, here are my thoughts on XIII. Click on the title or “read more”.  This is quite long.

Tweet I’ve had some complaints from people who missed out on events and whatnot.  I understand people have lives but if you don’t visit us, what can we do? Well actually, I’ve fixed that, somewhat. You can now subscribe to the ON mailing list, which will send every main page post directly to your mailbox, [...]

Tweet Notice the buttons left and right on the video interface- this is a playlist of all the XIII videos I captured @ La Mythik. Tournament HD direct capture coming up next! Here’s the link to the Playlist in case of problems.

Tweet Thanks to Gunsmith for allowing to edit posts here. As KOF 2k2 UM is hitting Xbox Live soon Orochinagi wants to support the scene and doing a little pre-Live ggpo kof2k2 tournament. As the community is small I don’t expect many players but brackets can be increased if demand exceeds. Date of the tournament [...]

Tweet Figured I might as well mention the fact someone calling themselves “SNKP” has updated their Facebook Page with info on the game… latest piece is the story of Nameless + Character art: SNK Playmore (not official) on Facebook: Nameless, new entry (playable character) in THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002 UNLIMITED MATCH, is the 9,999th [...]

Tweet When you get to play XIII, you’ll face a few things: Iori spamming jump D.  Not unlike 98, you’ll need to have extremely fast reactions to anti air with a good standing A or other anti air such as Beni’s c B.  I need to measure the block stun as there may be other [...]

Tweet Imagine an arcade that has all the latest fighters, plus the classics. La Mythik has all of this, in Paris, France. Imagine a free play session evening, where you can play anything there for the total price of €8. La Mythik also has this. Imagine this session going on till 6 am, where they [...]

Tweet You may remember Salim coming to London a few times to play 2000, vs Maan, videos of which still circle round youtube on channel such as DandyDLC etc.  In fact I recently posted up two matches of Salim playing Maan at 98.  Salim also came to London to play 2k2, but 2pac won that [...]

Tweet WTF have they done to my Ash!!!! What I didn’t like: Throw being changed back to Fwd P / K.  I hate that.  I really do. Clark’s air throw is gone, or at least back to jump Fwd P/K.  That change threw me.  Pun not intended. With the reduced sprite size, Ash seems really [...]

Tweet Now this reminds me of the good old days, where webmasters used to get gift art for hitting a certain number on the counter.  Anyway, orochinagi is awesome – because you guys say so (like I’m going to argue).  We might be hitting a peak, as I noticed the facebook page is growing, let’s [...]

Tweet 4th Edition – Palais des Festivals de Cannes – February 25-27, 2011 Registration will be opening soon.  Daigo Umehara (JP) , Luffy (FR), Ryan Hart (UK) have attended, now Orochinagi is looking to send clan members to represent at the 2k2um and XIII tournaments. Video from the 2010 2k2um finals: Think you could do [...]
