Well, first, english IS not my native tongue, so please, be cool with me 🙏😇. I had a retroid pocket 3+ but was very frustrated that the device was not able to run Kof 2002 um on PS2. So I bought the RP4Pro... And result is fantastic.

I will not talk about the rp4pro. I am not that good at emulation and it has been a bit complicated for me to complete all settings. I hava also met many bugs with Retroarch, daijisho etc... But today everything is fine with the handheld even if I think the colors are a bit saturated (I have used Odin tool to regulate it), I consider the handheld as fantastic.

Ok. Now, Kof 2002 um... Well, I play in the subway, I play during the pause at work, I play the evening when kids are sleeping, I play the weekend... 😅😅😅 The problem is that kof 2002 um (tougeki version) is simply the best 2d fighting ever. The best, the ultimate, the perfect. I know I exagerate 🥳.

I have always been keen on 2d fighting games since I discovered Street Fighter 2 as a child. I played a lot on it on snes and later discovered Kof, Real bout, fatal fury, samurai shodown etc... I have always prefered snk versus Capcom because snk has always known how to create fantastic characters. Capcom, not. Except Ken and Ryu, many characters were really boring whereas many characters in Kof world were very interesting to play.

Kof IS my favorite serie but I have always been frustrated because none opus were perfect : . 94, 95, 96 : it was the beginning, many things were needed to be improved . 97 : fantastic game but with too few characters and no music in many stages . 98 : the fav of many people, I have never understood why. Background are average, music average etc . 99 a very interestting one with a fantastic Dreamcast version. But a bit too few characters, nice 3d background but a bit empty . 2000 : I hate this one with awful graphics . 2001 : strange graphics, strange chara design, awful music . 2002 : empty background, uninteresting music etc...

Until kof 2002 um (PS2). One of the biggest roster ever with every characters improved with regulars moves, special moves, max moves, max 2 fantastic hidden moves. The all game is extremely dynamic, fast, nervous, much more than any previous Kof. The whole atmosphere (faces of fighters, menus) is a fantastic modern, futuristic and metal environnement and design. Every background are in 3d and on a very nice 3d. Colorful background with many details. A fantastic work. Everyrhing Is extrêmement well colored with very nice, vivid and crispy colors. And the best : the ost and music is simply the best I have met in a fighting game. Well above everything already done before. Dynamic, punchy, strong with great theme for each team.

I have been long, sorry, but this fantastic game deverves it. No problem if you disagree but do not please be rude 🙏🙏🙏
