So is Neo Geo Cup 98 really just Super Sidekicks 5?

Ah yes, I was wrong again.

I'm getting old.

If he can't 1CC it it's too hard?

Maybe, but actually attempting it shows the differences between SS3 and Cup98 clearly. Playing the first two or three matches then quitting doesn't tell the whole story

I 1CC’ed Neo Geo Cup 98 again a few years back for the ACA release, and I don’t recall using a drastically different strategy compared to The Next Glory/SS3 from back in the day. I always assumed NGC 98 just saw tweaks to the pacing and teams.

If there is an overall change in difficulty, I wonder if it is a result of the team adjustments/line-up changes in the teams you actually face compared to the team line-ups from SS3.

Got the clear on Punisher today, I feel like it is easier with Fury but I will probably practice a bit and try for a clear with Punisher as well.

There ye go, skill issue.

It never occured to me either that there's a difference between SS3 and NGC98, played both of them to hell and back and didn't notice a lot of differences. Yeah, 98 may be a bit easier in some parts (maybe that's the absence of cheating AI) but overall it's the same game for me.

Just load both in MAME right now with default softdips instead of trying to gaslight me you pricks

I can 1cc Cup98 with Hong Kong easily, I'd be able to do that too on SS3 if it truly had no changes.

 

[Takumaji]

Gaslighting, heh

I think you take this a bit too seriously, Burning Fight, me man.

 

[Burning Fight!!]

Not really, no.

Hey whats up Burning Fight, there are definitely changes to individual team stats and the line-ups they can face compared to The Next Glory/SS3. It’s the overall difficulty itself that feels unchanged. However, I’ll have to play as HK as well to see how drastic the lineup differences can be. Thanks man!

We got Super Sidekicks 4 in 1996, usually with its subtitle "Ultimate 11" front and center. It's almost SNK was getting embarrassed they made so many sequels.

I dunno, Neo Geo Cup 98 sure looks like a Super Sidekicks 5.

They made so many sequels because it could compete with the Playstation at the time, this right here was Fifa 1996. Soccer games were still too demanding to render all the players in 3d for EA and Konami early on
