Super Special move question

[Venom Scrub]

Why is it that I have more trouble pulling off Super moves in '02? Is it that the timing is stricter or what? In '03 I don't have a problem, but '02 stuff, especially the level 2 supers give me hell. Is there a reason for this?

Yeah, some of the newer KOF up until 2002 have strict controls. Try to break down the motion a little, and make it slower, that works for me. But to be honest, I'm not all that used to it yet.

its up and down for me. on cvs 2 i can do hcb X2 all day, but i cant do them at ALL in 03 unless i take my time...somthing you dont have the luxury of. in reverse, i have alot of trouble with qcf hacb in cvs2, but there is 0 problems in 03.... its odd.

Like Rave says, slow it down. Make sure you're precise rather than quick. If you're struggling with level 2 supers, it suggests you're rushing it.

I don't know if training mode has an option to show you your button presses but it's always a good idea to use that mode wherever available to see where you're going wrong. I think CvS2 has one?

It really seems like 2003 was made from a different mold than 2002. Better online play, somewhat easier to do moves, different menu screen that makes more sense... rematch. If anyone remembers 2000/2001 double pack, and how hard it was to do moves there, this really seems like a carryover to 2002.

Could it be possible that they didn't give 2k2 the same treatment as 2k3 because Neowave is right around the corner? I mean, Neowave is just an upgrade of 2k2...so why waste their time, and money, with the lesser game?

i said the same thing, i swear they fucked up this game since NW is better and coming to console and made 03 I suppose to get ppl ready for 11 in the cades?

anyway back to supers just take some time in training mode and practice and learn your shortcuts. its weird however since some ppl have HCB and same simple movesments for SDM but since its a SDM i think they increase timing maybe??

[Venom Scrub]

Well, I feel stupid. This is really my first experience with a KOF game and the moves I was having trouble with were the max 2 ones. Turns out I didn't have the life setting set to "red". I only remembered that because of CvS2 where with S groove, when your life was at red you could do a level 3 super.

I'm an idiot.
