And it's a very sweet game. It's a shame it never got famous here. Anyway, 2 cents:
Of the characters, I liked Rock, Jae Hoon, Gato and Hotaru.
Just Defending worked a lot like parrying. I found it useful against anti-airs (e.g. Kain)
I can't seem to find any many-button combos here, just the Jump-in, standing-HP, special.
Lastly, Hotaru's super is evil. 
What did you guys think of the game?
Of the characters, you didn't like Terry? he he he. Yeah, it's a great game. I love it.

Garou: MotW is definitely one of the best NeoGeo fighters ever made. Gameplay, graphics, control, etc... You name it, it has in spades.
But...
As a long time fan of Garou Densetsu (Fatal Fury) series, my heart will always belong to Fatal Fury 2 & Fatal Fury Special as my favorite among FF series. I just had so much more fun playing those than I ever did with Garou...
Those games made me a fan of NeoGeo that I am today. Garou, although awesome, just can't replace the classic moments I had in FF2 like when I pulled off Power Geyser for the first time (by accident, too), you know?

I had a little problem with that game, where I couldnt rest until I held the homecart in my hands. I finally got it, $680 later! EEKK! The game just gives me an awesome feeling, you know when certain games click with you? It was worth every penny, I encourage anyone else with a neo to do the same, you wont regret it. Rock and Terry are my favorite, I actually have seriously been thinking about getting Rock's star and wings tattooed on my shoulder or something. I love that game more than anything.

It's a good game ... it's often called (in France) the SF3.3 of SNK.
Terry is my fav' character in this game, with Gato. Whereas I don't like to play with him neither in the GarouDentsetsu nor KOF (^_^').

First, I LOVE this game. It's a part of the "Mighty SNK trio", composed by KOF98, LB2 and MOTW.
I like most of the chars, but of course my favourite is Jae Hoon. He's a perfect reflection of his father's personality, and since I'm Kim Kaphwan's #1 fan in the world (well... maybe not in the world, but at least in this bbs), it's logical to like Jae Hoon.
Other worthy chars are Dong Hwang, Gato(cheap cheap cheap... I like it!), Rock, the new Terry and Freeman.
The game's mechanics, as stated above, it's veryy simple to understand, but provides great gameplay. My only gripe is that JD is too easy to perform... in the sequel they should tight it more.

Of course saying that the music was bad is my opinion. I don't find much of the music to be very exciting, innovative, different...or even fitting to the game's atmosphere. I'll make exceptions for Grant, Rock, Kain, the character select screen and the options screen, but the rest of the game's music fails to achieve that "specialness" that so many other songs have.
Note that I'm a big listener of not only game music, but music in general.
Oh, and CvS1's music (both original and classic) rocks, IMO. CvS2's is alright, but not outright crap. I'm in agreement over MvC2 though. I'm gonna take you for a ride? What the crap!?!
Useless but true fact: Hitler only had one testicle. When you think about it that explains a lot...

Have this on emulator (which is the only way to get it where I live). I wouldn't call it the greatest Neo Geo game ever, but it's pretty cool. I accept it for what it is, a "companion" game not directly connected to any previous series. I don't even mind the supposed time jump, since it's immaterial. (C'mon, we don't even have a consensus on what year it is. I say 2000 works as well as anything.) The characters aren't the most memorable, but their stories are interesting and everyone's worth the same, unlike some series I could mention (*cough* TEKKEN).
I'm not too concernced about there being/not being a sequel. Yeah, we know who Rock's dad is. There's no reason his origin has to overshadow his entire life. Leona made a clean break, why not him? Hotaru's bro is found, and I'm very glad for that, if for no other reason than she won't constantly talk about it anymore. (Look, I know she must be lonely and all, but GEEZ...) Terry will always be Terry, helping the world when help is needed, but otherwise living his own life. He's not angsty, tortured, miserable, vindictive, greedy, obsessed, or fanatical...there's no reason to expect any huge carryover from his meeting with Kain. If there is a sequel, I fully expect Playmore/whoever to wipe the slate clean and give everyone a fresh new story. As it should be.

He can't fully control his power yet(as indicated by his winpose), so until he can, a clean break isn't in his future.

But yet they're still not the same happy family they once were, with her dad still on the lam and Gato chasing after him.

I thought his ending made it clear that he wouldn't be in the sequel. He stayed behind in Southtown, his nemesis is dead, and his adopted son is all grown up and going off on his own. There's really nothing left for Terry to do but shoot hoops and play some video games.

Oh, man! Now that I just read that, it all made sense. Maybe Terry won't be in the sequel. I mean, hey, Rock now is the star, right? He was saying stuff about how he loves Southtown.
Oh well. Maybe in the sequel, we can see other old school faves y'know?
If there is a sequel I don't know why Terry would sit it out. If Terry for some reason is now only Southtown oriented in his fighting he could still find plenty to do since Southtown is hardly back on the straight and narrow. Besides, Iori's been wandering around without out a plotline for around five years now and he still pops up in KoF games like clockwork.
