I really hope not... I would think that PA would put some effort into keeping the ball rolling. Hopefully they're setting up a new contact with the new developer and we're only delayed a month.

That's if you can even FIND one now... I haven't see any listed on eBay for a while now.

Same here, though if you're interested in boosting Fulgore achievements or Ranked wins I'm down... those are really the only achievements I have left in the game. my GT is the same as my screenname here.

If anyone could re-link me back to the KI community that'll be great.

Same here...

This you really have to see!!!!

that's nuts, though I always hated the SNES version of the game still kind of weird that someone would have such a massive pile of that game.

Nows the best time to sell them though. I know the value of the original arcade machines has skyrocketed... it used to be a $400-$500 machine now they're going for $1200-$1600

Thanks for the info TF. I hadn't seen it.

Ah, forgot about this month's challenge.

I've neglected KI for a while now.

How do you play vs eyedol? Do you have to beat every other character first?

[Likey]

He's the last boss in KI classic. I haven't attempted this, is the deadline 30th May?

[toxicatom5]

It only went up on the 13th. Hope they give more than 2 weeks. Seems pretty difficult.

he's not too difficult.... and it seems you could play him on any difficulty/use as many continues as needed.

like most mid-90s fighters the AI is basically programmed to respond in certain ways to certain attacks so the best way to defeat them is to exploit this to your advantage.

IIRC for eyedol there are a few things you can do that will leave him open to attack (sometimes he does a charge move where he just sits there) ... when this happens dump a combo on him during these times and once you get a head keep your distance and let the time run out.

or if you're Glacious you can just turbo button QP:


a bit harder to execute but here's another cheap trick with Saberwulf that exploits the AI

Just wanted to let everyone know that the fightstick pin has gone up on the store.

Man I'm so glad I waited. I almost paid like $70 for this pin on eBay. Thanks for the heads up! Really appreciate it!
