The Official KOF XIII thread. It's here, and it Rocks!

I need to get this game. I got it and returned it to get something else. May nab it tomorrow.

Ouch, GoTigers just handed me my butt. I almost got him the third time we fought but I think by that point he'd deliberately chosen characters he wasn't as familiar with while I stuck with my three mains.

It's obvious that my KoF '98 skills are not helping here. I have the special moves down but there is a huge strategy gap. What's working best for you guys?

Yeah man GGs... Tbh the netcode for this game is still pretty mediocre.. SNK and Atlus are hopefully working on a patch as I know no one that plays this offline atm... I'm in the process of stick searching as well..

What was that thing you were doing with Kyo? You had this one set of attacks that never seemed to stop. What that a Kyo specific combo or were you using one of gauge systems to chain moves?

[CD AGES]

Sounds like hyper drive cancels lol!

It was Takuma.. You can High Charge Kick to Thousand Punch followed by two Low Charge Kicks in the corner for like a 8 hit juggle but I kept whiffing bad. He's terrible online LOL..

Couldn't have been whiffing too bad. You stomped me flat. King has been my main since '94 but I could hardly touch you with her, much less with Terry. I still love this game a bunch, despite not being very good at it.

Correction I had to drive cancel thousand punches into the two low Hien Shippuu Kyaku is what they are called.. Yeah the only people I can drive cancel consistently with are Athena and Kula... And no worries, online means nothing at all.. With it's current state I doubt it counts for anything.. I'm just trying to become decent any way I can atm, even if it means playing 1 bars from Korea lol.. There are some good combo exhibitions on youtube but this game for some reason requires ridiculous timing.. Straight up 1 frame links..

[Flake]

Yeah, it reminds me a lot of the early, early KoF's in that regard. I do not think this one will replace '98 as my all time favorite but it is a damn sight better than XI and XII. I just hope you're right about a possible patch for netcode.

[CD AGES]

Hey! XI is a great game. Perhaps the most distinct and most fun in the series. And it's got a ever growing cummunity much like 98 and 02.

The timing is still more relaxed than 98 UM. But yeah, if you've been playing Super Shortcut Fighter 4: Relaxed Edition for the last couple of years, you are in for a bruising.
