From: Michael Lee Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 12:39:36 -0700 Subject: [KOF] Assist attacks in KoF98 [LONG but possibly interesting] >In one of the '98 FAQs I read (Athena's), I found out that on the >assistance portion of it, it says that Benimaru, Kensou, Chin will >always help Athena, but it also says that Shermie(!), Shingo and Kim >will always help Athena. Benimaru will always help the ladies. (He's a ladies man, remember) Kensou and Chin are teammates; they'll always help Athena. Shermie will always help any female, except Chizuru. Bitch. (Women's Lib and all that) Shingo will always help almost everyone except the Orochi Hakkeshu (Chris, Shermie, Yashiro, Mature, Vice) and Rugal. He's neutral to them. Shingo will never help Iori. Kim will always help Athena since they have the same ideals. Probably. >On the flip side, Athena will always help Chin and Leona(!). Athena respects her sensei, and wants to help Leona and Iori. Athena is one of the few characters neutral towards Iori. >Also, I saw Ralf help Clark out, even though Ralf had an angry face. > >Plus, when I was playing as Takuma, Kim helped my Takuma out, even >though Kim had an angry face. > >What seems to be up about assistance attacks on KOF '98???? (and what >connection does Shermie/Leona/Kim/Shingo have with Athena?) Assist attacks have nothing to do with the faces any more. In KoF97, the relationships were constant AND affected the power stocks in Advanced Mode. In KoF98, the faces and power stocks change day to day BUT the assist attacks (and the relationships that determine them) are constant. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kyo Kusanagi will always help: no one (what a bastard) will never help: Yashiro, Shermie, Chris, Yamazaki, Iori, Mature, Vice, Saisyu (his father!), Heavy D!, Lucky, Brian, Rugal.
