As I began to write this blog I noticed an ad for Rappelz Epic V, why the fuck do all these "FREE FANTASY MMO" developers throw money around to be advertised on every game site imaginable? Who can honestly say they play those? Like we need more of that crap.

So I played a bunch of random Dreamcast fighters with a buddy of mine, one of which was KoF Evolution (99). I used to play that game a little bit in the past but I had a ton of fun with it this time. I think I might be getting a little bored with 3rd Strike and I want something new in my fighters. But I guess when I say new I shouldn't be referring to fighting games that are a decade old.
My resolution for my spring break is to get better acquainted with the KoF series and maybe Last Blade 2. In 99 I found myself using Jhun, Joe, Terry, K', and either Ralf or Iori. I have tried to play some of 98 online and I get my ass beat so badly I am going to have nightmares about it. Some guy was Orochi Yashiro and just threw me all day, even when I dodge I get thrown. It was the most frustrating thing in the world. :(



I am a huge SF fan. I know the games, the match ups, the combos, the tiers and all that shit. But when I look at KoF I think "who the hell are half of these characters?", it is so daunting to go into a series with such a large roster of characters and I am just overwhelmed. SNK likes to confuse me by having a million things to worry about. I don't really know the first thing about how to play these games the right way. KoF feels like SF juggling chainsaws on crack.

But goddamn it is a lot of fun.

So hopefully by the end of spring break I will at least become familiar with how the game is played, I have always wanted to be good at these games but it seems like too big a task. I should have started playing these ten years ago.
