No release date for Europe?
…Fuck.
Are rolls any different from the arcade version?
http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/21957463/King-Of-Fighters-13/Product.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=king+of+fighters&urlrefer=search - Currently listed as October 28th, but will likely change. We are getting it as you probably know, but not with Atlus instead it’s Rising Star Games.
I saw a KOF XIII video a picture of Saiki, Billy Kane, and Old Iori Yagami. Just spreading the news if you guys didn’t hear or see it yet. I don’t know if it’s confirmed or anything. Really enjoying KOF XIII. Good stuff to BALA, Romance, and all the Top 6 hopefully it’ll make it main stage next year.
are anywhere juggles still in this? as in the stupid shit you see with beth and raiden
Oh yeah did read somewhere that they were remaking team japans stage from 96, or did i dream that?
Those three have been known for some time now.
Seems largely the same between Arcade and Console. Good initial speed but the recovery seems extended compared to old KOF games so it’s easier for new players to actually react to and punish rolls (not saying that rolls are bad or mediocre, certainly still a strong tool.) This is just one of many instances of SNKP trying to alleviate the more annoying aspects of KOF such as Kyo qcf+D frametrap/blockstrings or Kula invulnerability and dominance of qcb+K.
Anywhere juggles are still in but the actual things to anywhere juggle are reasonable since the “unreasonable” moves to juggle with have been nerfed. Raiden has to earn the corner to actually get juggle combos now instead of herp derping mid-screen into a big combo. So he does about 15-20% off a Drop Kick mid-screen but nothing more. Not even an extended combo to help him recharge his Drop Kicks so he has to recharge that used Drop Kick for a “real” 15 seconds. Well, more now since each level of Drop Kick has an extended 2 seconds per level. Elizabeth has her basic anywhere combos but the double super ones and the crazier ones have been removed. So I’m cool with anywhere juggles in this game.
I really, really wanted to buy this game!!! BUT… NO SPECTATOR MODE MEANS NO PURCHASE 
You got through without it in SFIV, why can’t you live without it for KOFXIII?
Wait… so we’re getting a story mode? AND classic Iori? and balance changes on Terry? and at $49.99? 2 copies pre-ordered. I’m hype!
Why is spectator such a big deal? I have been watching people play this game for a year now and once I get this the last thing I want to do is more watching.
Balance changes on pretty much everyone. As for Terry, from what I’ve read he’s recieved a decent buff.
You know what it is? in fighting games alot of us have become voyeurs we like to watch we dont want to actually play, we think we become a champ by watching a champ.
The other thing that really puzzled me, why do you want to watch games ruin by lag?
I’d love to get into the mind younger fighting game player of today, because i do believe you’d find a monkey in there smashing cymbals
Terrys neomax supposedly hit better???! probably meaning all hits connect more often, dont quote me on that
I say this all the time! ITS A WAIST OF TIME. (If anyone got something to say, you better be very thought out with your response…Because a slap will occur if you ain’t bringing no strong reasons!:smokin:)
Terry’s a blast to play with, my favorite SNK character ever. His playstyle is so my type. The game’s also pretty well balanced, so i can do with no spectator mode as long as online’s good.
Before I make perfectly reasonable points that you will likely disregard regardless of their sound logic or validity, allow me to ask you this: What is a WAIST of time? Is time a being? But then again, you did point out that it was a singlular waist. I’ve never heard of anyone with multiple waists, perhaps you can clarify that for me.
Back on subject. As far as spectator mode goes, let me offer these reasons as to why it is important to fighting games.
- Some of us have and enjoy to play with multiple friends. It’s nice to be able to watch your friends’ matches while you wait your turn.
- Some of us actually enjoy watching other players’ matches.
- Some of us like to have games on in the background while we do other things.
- Watching other players’ matches can be a great way to learn about the game.
- It’s very fun to discuss matches while they’re being played or to be able to cheer your friends on.
I could go on, but Quagmire just had a baby on Family Guy, so if you’ll excuse me.
…You are just begging for a Pizzazz Slap aren’t you?
So whats your strong reasons?
While those are valid reasons, SNKP believes that adding a spectator mode would be detrimental to the online experience with lag.
I can’t confirm if this is true or not.
If leaving spectator out means better overall online then I’m fine with it. It may be a nice feature(One that maybe snkp can add later on) but the only thing that matters is a good playable online. That should go above all other online features
If people can do without spectator in MvC3 they can do the same with KoF.
