King of Fighters XIII is out on PS3 and 360!

I got your boxer right here, bro-

Somebody explain to me the Eiji hype, he was never a big character to me O_o

because 90% of kof fans dont actually play the game

Or it might be because some people have preferred characters from past games who they would like to use again in a newer instalment of the series.

ok correction, 90% of kof fans dont actually play the game and of the remaining 10% most of them care more about being able to use their favourite characters than how the game actually plays

What else do we have to do?

It’s not like all of us can play the game you know. Even with the leak, it still requires a decent computer (which I don’t have ;~; )

Personally I’m hoping for Geese, Rock, and maybe Adelheid because he seems cool.

dammit I thought this was real lol looks really good though.

Dude I’ve been using O Iori for like 8 years. I just feel comfortable using what I know works, since I see mixed reactions regarding new Iori.

I’ll try him out, I would just enjoy the option. KoF titles love their multiple versions of the same character.

you know how i know you’re right? because even in threads for other unreleased/unavailable games, you’ll see more talk/speculation about gameplay discussion than just useless wishlisting that nobody really cares about (i’m sorry, but posting a list of chars you want to be in the game is not exactly going to spark any sort of thoughtful discussion). i’m really annoyed because this happens every single time theres a new kof or new development about one and it perfectly reflects the zeitgeist of kof in the west (“90% of kof fans dont actually play the game and of the remaining 10% most of them care more about being able to use their favourite characters than how the game actually plays”). the most ironic thing is that characters usually get overhauled and change from game to game, so its definitely not the gameplay variety that a character might offer that makes people want them in the cast. this is supposed to be shoryuken.com not cyberfanatix, but i guess our Competitive Edge™ is getting dull.

SNK games usually don’t do well here. I own most of the good stuff (and bad, hello AoF collection.) they are kind of like Sonic titles: initial hype is badass, people speculating and wishlisting. Then more often than not it’s a shoddy port and everyone leaves but the the dedicated who try to play the mess.

Besides it’s true, the hell else do we have to talk about? XIII has been out for what, two years in Japan? Everything has been discovered, tiers set up, etc. Nothing else but hoping for new characters and seeing if it’s improved upon in other areas or explaining what random character you will use on your K’/Raiden team.

Think I will bust out Dat NGBC later.

it doesnt matter which game it is, i always main yamazaki along with the ff heroes and kof heroes, aof heroes, 96 boss team and almost 3.4 of the whole cast. but no matter who, i always main yamazaki (ff3, rb, rbs, rb2, kof 97, 98, 02, 03, cvs, cvs2). billy is more like a capcom character, though he isnt bad he isnt really that fun to use (his 02 version is the best, 98 version best balanced.) yamazaki is awesome to use in every game hes in (cept 03). i hope that if we do get yamazaki he will be a mix of 98 yama and 98 um ex yama.

also i agree about them showing yamazaki as last for outlaw team cause hes the most wanted of the bunch. im curious about who the other outlaw team member will be if we do get a complete outlaw team, mary, gato, oswald or geese etc?

I’m not sure if this is confirmation of a UK release but ill leave this here for anyone in the UK.

I want Xaingfei and Kasumi so my main Daimon, Kasumi Xiangfei team will be complete. Otherwise i’m going to have to go with Ryo and Takuma.

Because KoF/SNK has such an awesome roster of characters.

Also, all the serious KOF system discussions are happening in other threads, on other forums, doiye.

how do i unlock the colors for the game, an arcade near me got it (i think you know how)

not to mention a ridiculous amount of characters

hit start at the color select for certain chars

thanks man

I want Rock in this game sooo bad…oh and the option to have XI or 98 Kyo in this game.

Edit: I also agree XII/XIII Iori without flames, isn’t what I was expecting from him. But hey I will still try him.

Didn’t people have more than enough time with regular Iori already? Or are Iori fans somehow immune to monotonous repitition?
