Together Retro: The King of Fighters '98

[dsheinem]

I feel like a fucking dick. My wife just saw my Chun Li pad and said....

"so THAT is how you think women should look?!? "

that's what she had ordered me for a Valentine's Day gift.

didn't expect that!

didn't expect that!

me neither. That's adorable. I can't believe the timing! Grrrr.

One thing I can say for sure is if one Hot, Butt-Stomping Game Babe is Good, then Two is BETTER!!

I feel like I contributed to this, Noise. I showed you where to get the damn thing...

I just ordered Dream Match '99 for the 'Cast so I will be joining the fun in a few days.

As I recall from playing 98' on the Orochi collection, my team of choice was Terry, Ryo, and King.

Sadly DreamMatch for the Dreamcast is one of the most Aliased "Jaggy" games in History. Would do better to pick up '89 UM for the PS2 or XBox Live (although the XBL version doesn't have English Text - LAME). PS2 '89 UM is the best.

Yes, but I do not have a method to use a Sega Saturn controller on my PS2. The comfort of a Saturn controller outweighs some of the features of UM.

Though, truth be told, I should really just have both.

That is one thing that the Xbox Live version has going for it is that you can use the Mad Catz SF IV pads (which are pretty comparable to the Saturn Pad).

I personally prefer the PS2 Street Fighter Anniversary controllers far more than their current gen cousins, but whatever.

I mean, hell, I ended up just using PS2-to-PS3 converters to play fighters with my PS2 Ryu and Ken controllers, and gave my roommate my Cammy SF4 MadCatz pad.

I'm currently planning to get the Neo Geo pads made for the PS2 to do the same deal. I just ordered some PS2-to-360 converters, so I'll be able to use them at my friends' places as well.

Yep, this is exactly my setup for this game. I've been wanting to buy a few of the XBL fighters and had put it on the back burner, but this Together Retro entry pushed me to purchase. The Street Fighter IV pads are quite a step up from the regular 360 controller, though I still envy those with access to an arcade stick.

Anyway, this game is absolutely kicking my ass so far. Seems from this thread that I'm not the only one in that way. I'll be watching the "How to Play" video that was embedded on the Together Retro page, so hopefully I won't be so hopeless after that.

I completely forgot about that video. I REALLY need to take a look at it. Thanks for the reminder!
