King of Fighters XIII : Trials Thread

Im on K #8 right now. I havent really tried it much yet but it will probably take me awhile. His trial 7 probably took me at least an hour… but that was mostly due to the fact I could get the HD cancel down for the first part… cr. b, cr. b, st. b, HD Cancel, st. C, f. A… for some reason the timing felt really really awkward for me. The part after that was easy though.

I don’t understand anything of Duolon after the third one…

Doesn’t work as far as I can tell, I had some success holding down after the dp and doing the fireball but its still hella strict.

Here’s how I do it, works every time just fine.

:dp:+:snka: DC :qcf::uf:+:snka::snkc:

EDIT:
Also, protip. If you’re ever doing anything where you keep getting DP on accident, like say for instance a dash HCF, end the motion in :uf: because a DP in XIII cannot end in :uf:, so you’ll never get it.

Ouch it only works in HD mode sorry. :dp:+:snka: then return to neutral and input :qcf: :snka: works fine for me with Elizabeth and already tested it for MR.Karate.

EDIT: Tested the tip that johnGrimm posted, it really works :slight_smile:

The easiest way to perform 2 uppercut motions in a row is :hcb::f:+(P or K), :d::df:+(P or K). This way even if you go to far up to forward for the 2nd motion it wont come out as a super.

Thanks for the tip, K’s trials are really insane :S, they should give you a gold trophy only for completing his trials.

This worked for me though in order to not get super I actually do dp+A, dp, end in upfoward + a seems to be slightly more consistent. Thanks!

Ash’s 8th, 9th, and 10th trials are completely absurd specially the “Sans.Culotte” parts in those combos, i have NO idea how to do them :S, this is insane…

Yeah, the trials are ridiculous if you haven’t played a KOF game before (like me). I’ve been playing this game for 2 days (currently on day 3) and have reached trial 9 with Kyo, Iori and Athena. I’m trying to do them one by one, but as a Street Fighter player I’m not used to pulling off combos 10 seconds long. So far, though, I love this game. It doesn’t reward scrubbiness and it feels rewarding pulling off a juggle combo.

I’ve been playing the trial mode very casually and I’ve got Shen, Vice, and Yuri done. If anyone needs help with those I can certainly provide tips. I have a feeling those are the easiest trials though.

Rekka combos are FUCKING INSANE in this game.
When I get the combos off, it gets me off.

Kind of off-topic but Xian is live-streaming himself speed-running all the trials. It’s really impressive to see someone just look at the combo and get it down after a couple tries. If you didn’t already know: http://www.twitch.tv/crosscounterasia

wow, I must see that ^

God… Fuck.Ash’s.Trials.
the San.Cunt parts are so fuckin dumb, WTF?

Edit: just saw Xian’s BS, even more WTFs…

Glad to see this thread! I’m new to KOF and have been tackling the trials–was able to do all ten for Elisabeth, Terry, Hwa, and Benimaru so far. Started Raiden’s last night and can’t figure out how in the world to do charge :db: :f::p: xx charge :db::f::2p:. The demo shows the EX charge coming out very quickly after the first one, not long enough to charge again. Also, the first trial forcing you to hold :k: then standing :p:, I can’t get the LP to connect at all, no matter how I time it after the kick is released. Anyone out there done these yet? :slight_smile:

Okay, in the past several days I’ve finished Andy, Goro, Kyo, and Duo Lon (his were the hardest so far in my opinion). If anyone has questions about those, I’d be happy to do what I can to help.

Alright, so has anyone done Ash’s later trials? I have missions 8-10 left for Ash, and 5 other trials until I’m done… But I just can’t do the d,u+HK, b+HK, d,u +LK, b+HK, d,u+LK in Ash’s Mission Lv08. I know you don’t have to charge d,u, but is there an easier way to do this than doing the full commands? Is there a buffer or a shortcut for doing this part?

Also, as I mentioned, I’ve done all of the trials except about 8 of them (3 of them are Ash.) If anyone needs help with them, I’d be glad to help out, just post on here, and/or tweet to me @ShadowHado. Tweeting is the best way to get my attention in case I don’t check this thread often enough. Feel free to post on here and tweet me to look at your post as well. I will try to post all help here so that it helps everyone.

Well that was quick, I figured out what my problem was already lol.

You CANNOT do that part of the combo to a standing opponent. They MUST be airborne. Once I realized that, I started using b,f+LK+HK to launch him, and started practicing the combo. I haven’t gotten two full reps of it yet, only 1.6 lol.

Anywho, if you guys need help, I’m still willing to assist!

The hardest part was for me is the D,U + C/D cancel into B,F + C/D but i found a shortcut, i’m still trying the last part though.

Anyways have you done mature’s 10th trial yet? i can’t do the super before the oponent goes down, it seems that you must calculate DP + A + A just before you touch the ground, 9th trial was a damn nightmare too the opener requires strict timing and you can get some accidental cancels if you don’t know how to do a perfect DP motion, the last part is more easy.
