Ok thats different LOL

Wonder if I can get my neo geo bar top up and running before this ends....

[acvieluf]

AWWWWW YEAH! I never knew they had a neo-geo version of this game!  One of my all time NES favorites!

 

EDIT
Here's a quick go: 30,500

Starts with two easy teams, and ramps up from there. Can't figure out how to do the special moves. Off to google I go! Haha

[jasonbar]

Add this to the long list of Neo Geo games that I don't understand. Maybe it's too much like a fighting game.

And I can't believe the huge glaring typo in the title. They spelled "Confusing" D-O-D-G-E. Don't know how that got through Quality Control.

10,300, though I'm not sure what I did.

The basic special throw is a SF2 Ryu fireball. Down, down/forward, forward + throw.

When power meter is full, and you have the ball, the sequence is:
Forward, followed by a half circle that goes "back, back/down, down, down/forward, forward + throw" for a team special throw.

I can't remember the others.

This game seems to be pretty fun. Was able to get passed the 3rd level & timed out on the 4th I think. I've only been able to do a handful of power throws & have done one team power throw. Need to start trying the power counter because the CPU is killing me pretty easily with it. Also I found this cover at some other forum when I was researching during the selection process. It has the move list on the back - hope it helps.

Crazy move set for a dodgeball game rly lol
Ime a little confused coz during the instruction demo at the start it says to hit A&B for a special but that seems to do nout :s

[SlyBlueFox]

The A+B boost your power bar at the bottom. Press it without the ball & you should see your bar rising.

[Titchgamer]

Ahhhh right wondered wtf I was doing wrong!!

Cheers Sly!

So many new tricks to try on this now :p

Think I found another new game to add to my faves

[SlyBlueFox]

This game has been tough. Don't think I have made it past the third level since the score I submitted. I keep getting the power moves with a random counter every so often but still doesn't get me past that third level. How far are y'all getting?

I haven't gotten past the fourth team. It took me a while to beat the third. I haven't been able to play for the past few days, though.

Ah-ha! Suspicion confirmed. That's why I don't understand this game. It is indeed a fighting game disguised as a dodgeball game!
Looking forward to the next one! :]

Got past 3 finally & had one guy left on 4.

Started to figure how to attack the other team better & was able to get the power throws on most throws. Got to level 5.

[acvieluf]

Wait. Last night was it?! Argh! I thought I had more time! Haha, oh well, my fault. Had I realized it, I would've really pushed myself last night.

Great job, sly.
