2k2um XBLA XBOX 360 FAQ (inc Challenges)

Online Matches
Looking for a challenger but can't find any matches? Host a game then wait, while surfing the internet! You will get the best connection this way. The ping rating isn't accurate - try for under 100ms but even then you might find input lag - if so, say goodbye, gg, and try someone else. Oh and when you get a match, stop surfin the internet, make sure there is nothing sucking up your bandwidth (downloads/torrents/streaming videos etc)

Manual
There is a short guide to the game under "Help and Options"

Unlocking EX Characters - Easy Method
This is only for those who have done the challenge mode and had enough of bleeding fingers.
You will need an autofire or much patience. You can unlock characters etc by failing challenges. So put your autofire on a challenge, making sure it restarts and continues to fail and retry and leave the machine on for an hour or two (or more!) You need 300 to unlock everything apart from Nightmare Geese. If this doesn't work, switch to Expert Challenge and repeat. I've done this myself with a few hours on normal and another on expert


Unlocking characters Normally:
Beat them in Endless Mode- you will meet them all until #66 (Rugal)

To unlock Nightmare Geese clear Expert Challenge 20 - Edit: I've unlocked him with the easy method.

Tougeki version?
As stated on the official site, the XBL version has ps2 graphics + tougeki arcade gameplay updates

I've never played KOF - How do I play this game????
Watch these videos (thx to DandyDLC)

Then go through the forums here and check the character threads!

Challenges

This is based on the ps2 version - now the thing is I remember there were Expert challenges too.. Well anyway...

That's a great selection of characters! Especially with Shermie xD

Is there anything else that needs to be added to this FAQ?

Just so you know, you can unlock every character by doing endless mode except Nightmare Geese (you do get regular Geese), whom can only be unlocked by completing the challenges or failing them about 400 times.

how about we add the difference of the versions? Like whats different from the PS2 version to the XBLA verion, i know they different in a few ways, like the background, a few moves, more balance and such, but only cause i read them around google.

Well I'll at least get to the changes between 2k2 OG and UM later when more threads are created.

I'm assuming the XBLA version is the same gameplay-wise as the PS2 tougeki version?

Well i thought it was the same as ps2, since it has the ps2 (or OG character select screen background). THe tougeki one has a silver / metal background.....Unless they have the tougeki version with OG background.

The most telling one I can see is the damage output of Kyo-1's qcfx2+P DM, where in 2k2UM old version does a lot more damage than in tougeki version.

Love the game, love this forum, but I cant find the challenges walkthrough, cause I have done most, but some are special timing, or specific attack of people i dont care to use :), so i would like a way to do them. :) thanks, how about we add to this thread the list of characters from the game, an a hyperlink them to the POST that is already made. :) just a suggestion.

ok updated with challenges! You're in the 2k2um forum so... it shouldn't be too hard to find stuff from there.

I posted a thread of resources over at gamefaqs http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/611176-t ... h/57051863

Aimed mainly at new people, but should be useful for everyone to some degree. Maybe there's some stuff you want to steal for this thread?

I also pimped ON.com a few times

Got 800 XBL to spend, after getting SSF4, SSF2HD, a HORI and the 2k2UM trial I thought, might as well get this.
I have always enjoyed the KOF series.
Now I was puzzled that the listing in XBL marketplace says 2k2UM has NO online multiplayer at all.

WTF? Is that true? I see posts as recently as Nov 2010 talking about this game's netcode. Have the servers been taken offline in the meantime?

I'm in Australia by the way, maybe no one was playing this game here?

I have mostly played KOF single player, but after playing SF on XBL I'm hooked on online play, couldn't imagine going back to single player.

Also, I have noticed Angel can do her DM anytime, not just as a Chain Circle finisher. Didn't notice anyone else mention this here.
I love Angel, I wish I knew how to use her better.

You need to get in touch with Dark Chaotix, Isshunsengeki (but not hebretto), our resident OZ KOF players. 2002UM certainly does have online play, but OZ is a big country and the netcode is ok if you're playing someone close, otherwise... not.

If you live or can get to Sydney, consider visiting OzHadou 9, where you can play hard with other KOF players, as they're doing a 2002um tourney there!

Isshunsengeki would be the best person since he lives in brisbane aswell. Can organise a meet up or what not since in person is way better then online. Im too far away from you guys and I dont have a 360

Ohn this this weekend in syd since im hosting the 2k2um comp, come down to that
