KOF'98 UM [Arcade] - play as Nightmare Geese
This is a playthrough using Nightmare Geese / EX Geese in the Arcade version of The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match. Read on below for more information...
Nightmare / EX Geese is an alternate version of regular Geese. He is a hidden playable character in the game.
===== HOW TO SELECT EX GEESE =====
On the character select screen, highlight Geese, hold Start and press any attack button to select EX Geese. You'll know it's him because when you press and hold Start, his icon changes.
===== ABOUT EX GEESE =====
EX Geese in 98UM is based on the "nightmare" version of him from Real Bout Fatal Fury Special. Under human control he is overpowered with high priority in his special moves, especially his projectiles.
He uses his BGM theme from Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, and does not appear as a CPU opponent in this version of the game.
===== DIFFERENCES =====
Nightmare Geese is certainly quite different to regular Geese, the differences are as follows:
---- His Reppuken are projectiles instead of static waves.
---- His Shippukens are full distance air fireballs.
---- He does not have the Deadly Rave DM; instead this is replaced with a super throw.
---- He does not have the Low Counter.
---- His Jaei Ken has aura aesthetics and hits differently; the HP Jaei Ken ends with a throw if it hits unblocked.
---- His Raging Storm has different graphics and hitboxes.
---- He has different character select icon and versus portrait images.
---- He has the same colour palettes are regular Geese.
===== ABOUT ARCADE KOF98UM =====
This is basically a remake of KOF'98 which features all the characters in the series from KOF94 to KOF97. As well as new artwork for the new (and some old) characters, it also has new/old stage backgrounds and new or extra music for certain events. The most "significant" feature is probably the addition of Goenitz and Orochi as possible final bosses. Changes are also made to the gameplay and mechanics obviously.
