Thanks, because I got my info from that chrisyuhc seemed like Chinese vids etc…thats where I figured out how to play Xiao Lon then just made her into my style…
Thing is its hard to get info on this game thats not in vids because you gotta translate BBS’s to get the info…thus you gotta work a little harder to get solid info in this game…or just watch as many vids as possible and have a competent sparring partner (which I dont have )
I will get those combos/setups down tomorrow make no mistake about it DropGate…I’ve seen some stuff I can do immediately in the morning when I wakeup!
has there been any word on the 360 release of this yet? I remember it being announced, but nothing has come of it since then. It’s been about six months. Vaporware?
okay i dunno who the fuck here said Nightmare Geese wasnt strong in this game but you are sadly mistaken
Geese’s counters completely own, there’s no reason not to use them over sabaki
everytime you guess right and the groundslam for a Geese counter happens you get a free ground grab ( DP+P )
after any front tech fall ( like after f+lk d+lk d+fk ) ground grab is free
after hcf+fk ( 2 hits ) xx raging storm ( wall ), ground grab
he has one of the best air CDs in the game, combined with lp reppuken and shippuken he can zone VERY well
i’m not seeing how he’s a weak character…
edit: i forgot to mention, jump in rashomon is completely retarded
Well I love Xiao Lons style with the three stances…plus she looks hot in Pink…and I play Duo Lon in KOFXI so she was an immediate pick for me before I learnt she’s top tier…
Most new characters in fighting games are top tier so no surprise…they are the least tested.
I’m not denying Xiao Lon’s hotness. She is fucking sexy. However, she, like Duo, doesn’t fit my style. In KOFXI I use Kula/Malin/Leader Athena. I’ve always been a lover of Master Sergeant Germi, so she’s in. Billy is my favorite male KOF character, so he’s also in. And to fill the last spot…yeah, probably Terry. Hope he has a bumblebee pallet.
The more I get a lot of those combos down with Xiao Lon the more I discover she is very much like Duo Lon in that your execution must be on point…if you have sloppy execution you cannot play Xiao Lon…thats all it is to it. She requires a higher degree of execution moreso than Duo Lon for her fancy juggle combos. It seems a lot of them revolve around cancelling B Stance Dp+C to down,down+C then hcb+p spear juggle resets. The thing is that the timing with all the characters is not the same for her juggle comboes so that complicates things…
So comparing Xiao Lon and Duo Lon-
Duo Lon (L) is more ground based with his LDM and attacks,
Xiao Lon is more aerial juggle based, (though shes got good ground tools)
So they complement each other, SNK knew what they were doing.
What may work on B. Jenet (I love the Latina B. Jenet :lovin: ) and other characters doesnt work on all like Mizoguchi etc…so yeah like Yun in 3s and other games you gotta adjust your comboes per certain characters which is something I am learning.
Also for those that dont know her 3rd super is in any stance qcbx2+AC, it is a level two…and correction the poison super is not hcbx2+p, it is just qcbx2 p, and its a level three, so Xiao Lon has a level one, a level two, and a level three.
IMO Xiao Lon is the hardest character to learn and master… Which is what makes the line between the scrubs and the skillful. I need to get a new PS2. Mines overheats in 2 hours and in 1/2 an hour when I put in MIRA… So I haven’t played since last year.:sad:
I like that…that means she is essentially the Angel/May Lee of the game…almost unlimited potential as far as the learning curve goes.
:rock:
I’m gonna go out on a hunch and say she’s still probably gonna be top tier in MIRA2 for this reason, sure she will get toned down but look what happened to Angel and May Lee after getting toned down in 2001…they are still top tier!!! (Hell still even top tier in NeoWave after getting toned down AGAIN!)
