KOF Sky Stage (Xbox 360)

I beat the game with several characters. I have yet to one credit clear it and probably never will, even on easy bullet hell shooters are always difficult to me and this one is no exception. I've managed to fight Kula, the hidden boss, but there is apparently another hidden final boss that I've yet to fight. I always get Orochi as the final boss.

The netcode in this game is really good but so far I have only found someone to play with twice, and both of them quit fairly quickly. Achievements wise I got all the ones for beating levels, the hidden boss one and the 300 hit combo one.











King of Fighters '97 (Neo Geo)

I played through the team battle mode with the Art of Fighting team, using the extra super bar setting. This bar lets you use super moves whenever your health is low, which is extremely useful with the AoF team as it means you can spam their large fireball moves. Which I needed to do. For the most part, I sailed through the game without trouble, but the last couple of fights cranked up the cheapness of the CPU, with a lot of pad reading going on. At one points CPU Ralf was just countering everything I tried to do with a perfectly timed Ralf kick which always did big damage. The boss team (Yashiro, Shermie and Chris) were also a pain in the ass to beat until the super fireball spam started.

The final boss, Orochi, took out two of my team pretty quickly and I only just managed to beat him with Ryo, but I did it and one credit cleared this on my first try. Still not that great with the Neo Geo arcade stick though, I don't think I'll ever be any better with a stick compared to a pad.
