Haven’t seen a thread for the trials of KOFXIII so here it is 
Has anyone completed all of the trials yet? How on earth do you do Athena’s lvl 7 (or 8), it’s the one with the 3 HCB x 2 supers in the combo.
Imo you will need at least 3 months or more to complete all trials (playing casually) even if you are a vet, haven’t seen anyone yet with all the trials completed (even the combo freaks out there).
I’ve completed kyo, Terry and Clark Trials, working now on Elizabeth and Leona.
Props to anyone who does this. What a huge time waster… I’ve completed around 75% of all trials and that’s enough for me.
I’m around 6-8 on all the trials. Not bad considering I know jack shit and never been a Kof player. One thing we can agree on is THESE COMBO ARE SO SICK SON!!!
“RagingStormX”
“Never been a KoF player”
LIAR!!
Juicebox finished all of them in a couple of weeks. But I mean. Yeah.
I’m a CvS2 player at heart 
Shen’s mission #5. How do I link the the QCF B after the two QCF D’s?
There’s nothing special about it. You just do it after the HK ones and shouldn’t be any problem. But you’d want to hit the 2 D’s early, so that you juggle high enough to hit the last B.
I’m all done with King, Shen, Maxima and only got trial 6 left for Elizabeth. For the rest of the cast I’m around 5-8 trials in, from when I was trying them all out to see what characters I liked. I haven’t spent that much time trying to get them all done, because it’s something I’ll do later on when I’m more experienced with the system. But comparing the trials in this game to others, I feel like it’s best to try and clear one character at a time. You’ll probably pick up small things, or just get more used to the character, along the way. In SF4 for example, where the trials are a lot easier, there might just be 1-2 trials per character that you can’t get done, and they might not be linked at all to previous trials, so you’ll just move on and do them later.
That’s how I’m planning on doing it later at least, because when you finally figure out trial X, you can probably use a lot from that one for trial Y.
So im stuck on trial five I believe it is of Leona’s trials… Charge move to charge move confuses me greatly with the timing / buffering necessary. I try 1 to 7 then 7 to 6 for the inputs to keep the back charge going for the second move but either im doing it very wrong or its just that precise. Am I missing something here entirely? (New to KoF)
The last part instead of 7 hold 4, it works for me, try to keep holding 4 while you do the first part (1 to 7 or 8) and press 6.
Sorry for the double post lol.
anybody know what’s up with Takuma’s trial 5? i can’t get the 646pp to connect at the end. i messed around doing his 16k, one of the jumps into k, and then it connected but i can’t repeat it for the life of me. is it a super hop or a regular hop k? i’ve been mostly doing it in the corner but i’ve tried mid screen too and no dice.
EDIT
alright. i’ve been doing this trial for like two days and decided to post here for help and then i finally get it. it reminds me of sf4 where the characters are coming down from a jump attack and they land before it LOOKS like they do. this whole fucking time i was doing the 464pp too late. it’s got to be done as soon as possible. sheesh.
If anybody needs help on some of them, the Vesper Arcade videos have descriptions, where the dude blogs about some of the harder ones. Those REALLY helped me out.
I finished every trial right before New Year’s Eve, and completed EX Kyo (thanks to the PSN delay) and Mr KARATE’s trials yesterday. Sometimes I feel like I’ve actually gotten the hang of a combo after trying one of them for 1 or 2 hours and other times I feel like I lucked up and I never try them again haha…
As for that Athena trial, it might be the hardest in the game… Maybe. I’m sure it at least took me the longest to get. At first, for the beginning DP into air super, I tried HCB~F A for the DP to come out and then just one more HCB and A for the air super to come out. For the second DP to air super, I would do the same thing. But sometimes I’d do the Super Cancel too fast and get her super on the ground, so I’d delay it slightly, then I’d get a Drive Canceled Psycho ball after the DP for some reason. I think, since I’m using the Dualshock, I would do the HCB~F A and only do a QCB~A afterwards. Other times, while rarely, I’d get a Drive Canceled Psychic Throw (command grab). That was me doing the HCB~F motion incorrectly and doing a HCB~HCF motion. Again, I blame the Dualshock D-Pad…
Regardless, that method didn’t work for me after trying it for… way too long. So, what I did to avoid both problems was, and I don’t know how easy it is on the Arcade Stick (didn’t try it yet), but I did a clockwise 720 motion for the air super. So, I did the DP regularly, and that motion helped me start the 720 motion as fast as possible. The length of the 720 motion was long enough for Athena to get into the air so I didn’t get the grounded super and complicated enough to avoid a Psycho Ball or Super Psychic Throw to come out. After trying this, all I had to work on was timing. I can do the trial consistently, in fact, by using this method.
Also, I slightly delayed the Phoenix Arrow in the trial after doing the Air F~LK. I think it allowed the follow-up kick she does to connect more consistently. Anyway, I hope this helps, since I didn’t try the trial on a stick yet…
I can’t believe that I’m still stuck on Elizabeth’s trial 2. I can’t get the command grab to cancel the command dash. I do it early, and nothing comes out during the dash. I do it late, and it whiffs. Is the cancel window really that small? It’s only the second trial.
As you said the cancel window is really small, try to go neutral after the dash, this should work, your must be really fast here,
Cancel the dash from her f.B late
FOr people who have completed most or close to all of the trials what character(s) overall had the hardest ones in your eyes (or the ones that took you the longest).
Wait how did you do mr.karate trial 7 dp into fireball just either gets me ex dp or super every fucking time : (
@Nissan: K’ and Elizabeth for me, K’s 9th trial took me at least 2 hours lol, although many people are saying that leona’s trials are also the most difficult.
Try this: :dp: A/C :f: A/C
