Yo stuck in norcal, modesto, without a driver’s license (workin on it). i guess ill just 98 room 1 to work more on fundamentals. hope u guys have fun. feels so left out without ranbats

Emil was attacking mostly on the fact that people were already talking about tiers in a game that’s about 3 days old and that the discussion is being already made with KOF footage of slipshod play, not on the footage itself. Kinda disappoints me too; at least try to play the game like KOF and then incorporate the new features pragmatically into one’s gameplay. The HK were doing it right playing KOF like KOF and then they’d most probably slowly put in the “new stuff” as they go along as needed. That’s what is seems like Mr.KOF is doing. So to reiterate, I’m going to be working on my fundamentals and be ready when it comes out on console and I could actually go to places.

I’m glad that this game get good impression, i hope kof community getting better and bigger in America.
I hope that this game come out in my country too :D.

I’m really curious about how Hwa Jai looks with the Adon color scheme, any pictures/videos?

Is this the extra K’ win pose they were talking about? [media=youtube]MEiDtQOJLXo#[/media]

its not even like that, i remember that the level of kof 12 was pretty decent from the get go AT AI. you guys are really adjusting to 13 it seems, but after being spoiled by those hk players and that dev team owning i was really hoping to see some high calibur shit like new combos and hd mode goodness, drive cancels, neomax combos and such. and i still expect to see that shit, but not in the next few days it seems.

what id personally like to see are the possibileties, like can ryo also cancel into his nm AFTER the haohshokoken from his ex ranbu? especially if you hit the op in the corner. can mr karate cancel his 3 haohs into nm in the corner? can joe even cancel into nm from screw or ex screw upper. with ryo canceling his dp into hcb+D, the op flies so high that im pretty damn posetive that another hcb+D (or f,b,f+A or C or AC) should be possible. but for me, theres no way to test any of this shit. i really wanna see whats possible, but most ai players aint checking that shit out right now. but the game is new, im hoping to see some crazy shit soon enough.

the difference between 12 and 13’s controls, is it that big? also one problem i did have with 12’s timing was that after the normal i also used to do the move way too fast. i think its the same in 13, part of the problem connecting combos probably. you gotta perform that shit slower than 98 me thinks.

Yes, it’s this, I think. So far, K’, Andy and Mai has a different win pose when they win with their NeoMAX (this means that they keep the neomax final pose as win pose, I think).

K’s looks a bit more animated however. it looks like his glove shattered, causing a colored puff of smoke, before burning his hand + lower arm to a crisp. Hard to tell given the resolution and color choice, though.

Greatly appreciate all the video’s and information! Keep posting them and don’t let people suppress your efforts! I enjoyed the vids, and I personally really like it when you get to see players gradually improve.

This game really does need to be put on the map, SNK deserve it for actually putting in effort to make a good game.

Kyo, Iori and Ash team Ending from Sugarboy

I have to agree with this.

People dissapointed in the level of play, do me a fucking favour.
One person mentioned hk play how long have hk been playing kof again?
since the start of course there level is going to be higher even in a brand new game brand new engine they understand the basic fundamentals of kof which no matter what changes in the game still helps with the transition to each new game.

How long have these AI guys been playing?
some probably started at xI others might have a bit more expierence others have not even played a kof game before in there life, how you can be critical?

they’ve had the game for less than a week for fuck sake, if there level of play is still the same after like 10, years because that’s the time it takes to reach hk level with all there raanking battles tourneys support from a wider kof community with gatherings and what not, and then compare and if they still play the game by all means say they suck and whatever

But till then take it for what it is some guys trying to get used to a new game, many of who maybe dont have previous kof experience let alone high level kof experience

To the guys at AI cheer’s, and just enjoy the game dont listen to some of the complete bollocks that has been typed in this thread

Thanks!

meh, i expected something like Kyo/Iori/Chizuru from 97 :(…

I’m such a Foxy fanboy:

Lol at Kula’s face :smiley:

I honestly don’t understand the hate for the player’s skills in the video. didn’t we just go over the fact SNK games are on a low skill level along with low radar in America? Looking for decent skill on day 1-3 of a new KoF game in America’s kinda a high standard.

Forgive MousoliniC187. He knows no other way than to be a black bumhole of screaming negativity. Best to just do like everyone else does, and ignore him. Keep the positivity up and all that.

Wasn’t just him

But anyway yeah good vibes all round

How’s daimon? from what i’ve seen i think he might really struggle

In regards to the IKARI team ending-Did something happen to Leona or if I read the youtube comments right-Whip is knocked up?

Oscar, you talk too much. Ha ha ha ha. <3

The quality of the matches so far are pretty decent. I mean, they’re playing on the same level as I would when trying a new game. A lot of experimentation, trying to find your groove, etc. I’d like to see some Grappler action, and more on Ralf, Shen Woo, and Mature.

I’m just glad the people from AI are posting matchvids instead of just endings like the japanese are atm -_-

I do want to add one thing in AI’s defense: HK is a magical place when it comes to KOF, I’ll explain since I lived there for 10+ yrs. There are arcades everywhere, most arcades have 2-3 cabinets on average, if you play any fighting game, chances you play kof (they even have, at least used to, a manga series that have since been inspiration to even XIII). Since it’s so desensely populated (I believe it’s 7million people, population of Los Angeles, in 20miles squared(!)) that everyone gets to see everyone’s tactics, competition is so readily available. Note I’m not saying we have the best players, it’s just if you hang around a ton of NBA players, all the time, the rise of the tides floats all boats.

I think the 2-3 cabinet thing is really the key. When I lose a match in HK, I just shift over to the next cabinet and play someone else, there’s not 35-40min waiting…in the meantime I get to observe multiple games going on so the skill level grows exponentially.

You simply can’t compare. Is Jon good? Absolutely. Are there a handful of Jons in Japan, China, Taiwan, HK, yeah. How can you NOT get good?
