[@viniciuslisboa8864]

Teabag is a strong strategy in kof 2002.
This is reason enough for me to get in the game.

[@mugenfan123]

great videos man. subbed.

[@TheFGTreehouse]

thank you, more to come.

[@acedavidson1410]

I would love to know how to tech off the floor
Also can we get another one of these videos please? Very Informative

[@TheFGTreehouse]

A+B when knocked down before you touch the floor. It's not too easy but definitely doable.
You can only tech soft knockdowns though.

Ty mate I want ask you can I do this combos in joystick or really need arcade stick?

[@TheFGTreehouse]

you can do them on any controller

[@asadsabbah9174]

@@TheFGTreehouse Ty I will keep trying

Any tips for the timing of the dash after max mode activation, so my combos don't drop?

[@TheFGTreehouse]

In my experience you cannot "buffer" the dash as you would in other games, so the activation input should be "clean" and you would have to manually input the dash right outside the activation animation. If you buffer the dash either the input won't be read at all, or, depending on the timing, only the last forward may be read. For more help make sure to join the 2k2 UM discord, it should be linked in the description.

[@MrMulaflaga]

@@TheFGTreehouse Thanks for the speedy reply. So the general idea is to wait until after the flash, as buffering in kof will mess up your dash input? Going to join the discord now as per your recommendation.

[@MrMulaflaga]

Who would you say the best characters are to practice getting the timing down with?

[@TheFGTreehouse]

@@MrMulaflaga depends on what you're looking to practice. If you want a challenge probably characters with distance specific and normal specific conversions, if you want an easy introduction, probably characters that can convert "anywhere anytime". This is also stuff that is easier to discuss on discord. : )
Gald you're learning the game.

[@MrMulaflaga]

@@TheFGTreehouse Thank you so much! I've been playing kof 2002 on and off since 2010ish, thanks to the discord max mode page, I can finally combo into max after all this time. 😁
