KOF XII - Ash Crimson thread

So they can’t roll through them! :looney:

I really thought Ash would get a new special move in KOF XII since Iori doesn’t have his flames anymore. Granted Genee is a new move, but I don’t think it’s a move from Iori. Since Ash’s moves apparently follow the months in the French Republican Calendar, he should still have 2 moves to go. Frimaire and Fructidor. He already got Germinal from Chizuru(sealing ability). What kind of move do you think he’ll get from Iori and Kyo?

Throw:
Brumaire: close, b or f + C or D

Command Moves:
Messidor: f + A
Floreal: b + B
Prairial: b + D

Special Moves:
Ventose: bcf + P
Nivose: dcu + K
Vendemiaire: close, hcf + C

Genee: d, db, b + A or B or C or D-------not refering to the Calander but the word means to “bother, hamper, hinder, block, cramp”

Super Moves:
Pluvoise: qcfx2 + K
Thermidor: qcfx2 + P

Leader Moves:
Sans-culotte: A,B,C,D-------------This isn’t a month. It’s a word(Sansculottides) that refers to holidays.
Germinal: qcfx2 + E

any idea on his learning curve?

I think the fact that Ash was spammed a LOT in those early play videos, prove that he’s an easy character to get into.

He main moves are charge motions, and they both seem easy to use. Weak attacks seem safer, strong attacks less safe, but hurt more, double fireball motion super is easy to combo into, and he seems like he’ll easily teach you how effective comboing off of weak attacks is, in this game.

I’d say he looks like one of the most beginner-friendly characters.

How fast are his genee fireballs , in comparison to Orochi Shermie kisses in 98um? Also what is the recovery like, and the duration they stay out there?

Really?

No Love For Ash Crimson? :sad:

^add me on the psn

any reason why ya want me to add you?

^so we can go at when it comes out

ok well you could of pm’ed me…this is rather unrelated to the topic

Ash is a beast, but I miss his old fighting stance. But with the addition of shermie kisses he just got even more awesome. I’ll be reppin Ash on that 360.

according to the recent audio interview
ash is a pretty difficult and hard character to play
not for the faint of heart really

^ And which interview is that? Could you post a link?

You can’t really trust Shane on it, those guys aren’t really good at fighters to begin with and charge characters in a rushdown centric game is even less of something they’d be able to wrap their heads around.

Lack Of Ash Crimson discussion?
the game’s almost out and there doesn’t seem to be enough gameplay footage of him to tide someone over

There isn’t enough gameplay footage of anybody to tide anyone over for another 4 days.

hows his kiss’s in this game?

just though i should share some random findings:

Ash’s st. B hits low and you can link a cr. B afterwards. So you can do combos like this:

st.B, cr.B, cr.A, charge d,u+B [140]
st.B, cr.B, cr.A, qcfx2 [217/291 if near the corner]

some corner combos:
8-hits
j.C/j.D/h.C/h.D, st.C,CD,charge b,f+C, charge D, U+D[302/300/300/298]

10-hits
j.C/j.D/h.C/h.D, st.C,CD,charge b,f+C, qcfx2+B/D [419/417/417/415]

jump C [72dmg] does more dmg then jump D [70dmg] which does the same dmg as hop C [70 dmg] which both do more dmg then hop D [68dmg].

^ good statistics at the end.
But I always like the distance you can get from J.D
Like you can hop back and still manage to hit em with j.D

Gonna try those combos out. Thnx!
