I don’t see the similarities between Ash and Leona. Mature and Iori? Sure. When I first saw Iori I thought he reminded of Mature and Freeman.
move wise buddy, I always thought of Heidern as a badass version of guile, and then you got leona, and then here comes loose booty ash with his flash kick and sonic boom. I would have prefered someone that stole Iori’s powers to use them in a more imaginative way, but instead we get this basic move having, barely looks like he is trying cause he is so cool jerkwad that has more animation standing still than in his attacks.
Played for like 5 hours straight last night with friends finally. I’m hooked.
Heidern is NOT like Guile, and Leona is NOTHING like Ash.
You can’t just group all the Charge characters together, especially not the baddest motherfucker in the world.
Ash might be a little like Guile though.
lol, okay, but I would think its more fair to compare ash to remy like I did originally lol
Ash is the remy of snk but with more self groping and smuggness
and looks alot like this

Yea the game play is not bad at all. It is actually pretty good. It is very simplified moveset but the gameplay is fun.
For example, I use Mature actually and she only has 2 moves and a super. It is amazing how you can use these two moves and super especially the dragon punch one.
It is a great mix-up/cross-up and kinda fast. Her super has invincibility frames which is nice but i think she had those frames in 98 but they weren’t as big invinc frames.
It is simplistic, but when you play someone decent, it is actually fun actually. I just get pissed with the constant online lagging but my main problem with online is when you don’t synchronize with your opponent b4 the match starts and you just sit there seeing “connecting’” Then you have to quit the game by PS button.
I hope KOFXIII is better they still got a chance of a kof explosion and this series being in EVO and Tougeki/SBO perhaps. I guessing the game is a grounded game to get the basics down then KOFXIV will probably be a jewel.
I was going to say something, then I looked at your rep, and decided against it.
But I said something anyway.

Wow, the online is completely unplayable. I just finished trying to find a “non-laggy” match for the last hour and I came up empty. My bandwidth is godlike. Why the hell would they release the game like this? It’s not like the story mode is anything special. WTF??!?!?!?!?
OMfG, yo there are no got damn faqs the game just came out and i went to athenas thread and there hardly any fuckin information.Maybe you should make one sinc eu seem to know everything and all. If not why not stfu.
yea i cant wait to play with my friend when he free myself.

this was funny as shit!
I dunno if its cuz I’m new to KOF, but I think the game is really good. People complaining about the graphics are just nitpicking because the game looks superb on HD screens. I thought it looked bad when I played it at CTF, originally.
I might have not had much prior experience with the characters, but each of them feel unique, even though they might be missing moves I obviously can overlook this since im new to the franchise.
The game is really solid, dunno about the state of the netcode for the game, but I think its worth the buy. I think the problem is with forums you are always going to get opinions from a vocal minority. Obviously, the game isn’t perfect, but I think it deserves attention just as the big contenders, SFIV, BB, Tekken, and etc.
Well most of the complaints are legitimate. It does make me a bit happy that its still attracting a few newcomers to the franchise, though on the other hand it could’ve attracted a lot more if it weren’t for the netcode.
The game is shitloads of fun local. Seriously with good online it would be hard to top.
As much as I do actually enjoy BlazBlue, I find myself spending more time scouring for the fabled 3 bar connection in KOF than playing BB.
Is there local jersey ranbats for it, maybe i should hit that up. But yea, i should just invite some friends over and throw down a few times on the game. As much as I like blazblue and swear that im gonna eject KOFXII and play Blazblue for a bit, i end up just messing around in Practice mode another hour in XII instead till i satisfy my Fighting game fix for the day.
Trust me. The MAJORITY of people who bought this game are NOT happy with it because they can’t play online and there are no single player opinions. For people without a tourney scene (like 95 percent of all people who bought kof12) this game is fun for about 15 minutes after you beat arcade mode (which is all of the game’s single player content).

Why do I keep coming back to this thread lol. It’s my own fault.
man come on now, we all understand kof has a solid gameplay engine but the game fell a little short no need to be a jerk each time someone brings up what they dont like about the game.
No, i dun mind him being a jerk, cause its just people repeating the same thing over and over and over, and will keep doing so. Its frankly annoying.
Well, I’m on most of the weekend…
It’s a good game. I won’t recommend people to get it until it gets better netcode, though.
