according to wikipedia (obviously not always reliable) its release date is now december 24th :rolleyes:

Who is going 2 NEC from this thread?

I’m accepting MM’s @ NEC in the following:

NGBC (2/3 for $5)
KOF XI (2/3 for $5)
SST (2/3 for $5)

I cant strees this enough people! Money talks BS walks! I know there are more people than Dark Geese who plays the 3 above so step up to the plate and challenge me!!!

If you dont think you are good enough, dont worry because its only 2/3 so anything could happen! its not like you have to win 10 times or something!

Come on people, lets do this! Post up! Dont make me have to start calling names out!!!

just wanted to know how a kula/vanessa/b jenet team would be?

Hey there, looking for some strats on Oswald and Kensou. I got my ass handed to me last thursday but kinda found my team.

Kensou kicks ass in this KOF.
The only downside is that I think his rush game isn’t that well anymore, and his HH is kinda slow and predictable.

Just try to stay sharp, and punish. Kensou does a good amount of damage on any combo, so try to learn all of your options.
AA’s include an early f+B (kinda small in vertical range),

hcf+D:not all that well, because Kensou’s descent time is longer now and a tech roll can leave you in trouble

dp+K: the autoguard frames often catch whatever move they throwout (except anything really meaty) then leaves them juggled, so a free combo.

dp+K also can take out a heavy ground rush like Duo or Ozzy.

Learn all of your options, Kensou is a juggle character and leaves open thousands of combos after one.

i’ll try to sum those 2 characters up as good as i can based on my experience against them (i dont play either one of those 2)

oswald:
-jumping/hyperhop hp is your best friend. totally ambiguous crossup, which leads to other nasty shit.
-in situations where jumping/hh hp doesnt work, try jumping/hh e works
-learn his tag combos. oswald cant set up tag combos as well as other characters, but when coming in, his tag combos does shitloads of stun. i think the standard one is tag in j.hk,land,hk, d/f+lp, qcb+p, qcf+p, qcb+lk.
-he has one of the best ldms in the game (only other ldm that rivals it is gatos LDM). its instant, punishes almost anything that has some sort of recovery (gatos missed punch super, kulas lk ray spin, etc). the ldm also has the juggle anywhere property, so there are a lot of situations where this move connects even though most other moves will miss. since this move is 53 hits, it doesnt damage scale that badly.

kensou
-he has the best fireball in the game. its slow but it has the fattest hitbox of any fireball in the game.
-his dive punches have tons of priority. gives really nice frame advantage afterward so you can follow it up with pretty much anything.
-his sweep is really fast and cancellable (into fireball)

Thanks, that really will help me out. Now I just gotta hope they stop pushing it back ;_;.

Protip: Most sweeps are are cancelable into special moves

I got a shitload of Juarez, Mexico KOFXI me vs. Juarez’s top two Mexican KOFXI Players Kane9998 and Rodo plus others coming soon so stay tuned…it will be more KOFXI than you can stomach!

Whenever I walk in to my local Gamestop they automatically say, “No it’s not in yet”.

I know that feeling

WTF 11/13/ NOW?!?

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Just want to know can low/mid tiers hang on against S rank teams??

Depends if those low/mid tiers are in a team with other high tier characters.

If you put all low/mid tier characters in a team against a team of high/mid characters most likely you will lose

I wanted to just post up that those ryuuko or whatever vids were pretty cool, the skill sets were really mixed, and whoever just kept letting duck king do the knee was a little silly since you can hit him out of the dwn dwn in the air after the knee if its abused like that… But still good shit. I didn’t watch them all, was there any K? I want to see more beastly k’s he’s really an interesting character in this game.

as long as you find a good tag/stun combo for your team

It all depends on the player. Just look at the finals from sbo 06, the guy who took second was using king, ryo, and kula. Really good player. And there are counter matches. Gai, Clark, Jyazu can all be used effectivly against the S teams. It’s just a question of use.

woops wrong thread

lol… i was the same way in tell i imported the game like 2-3 weeks ago and been playing it since and ngbc!!:wgrin:
