It’s definitely not too early to say Clark sucks. Because Clark sucks. That said, it’s not like he’s completely unwinnable, it’s just that if you want to play a grappler and want a better shot at winning matches, you’re better off using Daimon or Raiden. They have more options in what they can do to opponents, all Clark has is SAB so people are going to catch on quick against him.
Comboing DM outside of CC is not that hard. Just do the motion as hcb+D, hcb+C (I think standing D gives you more time to buffer than standing C, but I could be wrong). This is good if you block a DP or some other punishable move. Doing it by itself is a little tricker to hit-confirm, but it can be done.
The other option you have for hit-confirming is crouching C into his B+D hop. If the crouching C causes a stagger counterhit, you buffer into the B+D hop to get right next to them and then immediately do the DM. Or when you see the counterhit and do the hop to get close, you can do standing D into DM…
^^What bugs me is that if they’re only going to give him one of his grabs, the least they could do is make it retarded good. Like give him SPD-like range to make his a force to reckoned with.
:bluu: Don’t make it worse for me man. Oh and don’t play 99, play freaking XI where’s he’s just boss.
All I’m hoping for is that they’ll give his grabs back when KOFXII Black arrives. In the least he needs his frankensteiner, because of how retardedly useful it is.
KOFXII Black??? Is this what they are going to call the console version, also are they going to do some balance changes like give clark more moves in the console version or is it just a port with more characters
Then i really hope they fix clark and give him some more moves. I just don’t want him to be such a predictable character. I guess we will just have to wait till E3 to find out about any major changes and additions
Soooo to get this thread talking and whatnot, I guess I’ll start a discussion. What is a clark players best type of fighting style aggresive, defensive, or a mix of both.
Actually, the best player Abraham goes full offense and completely rapes with Clark. Though personally, I would suggest as you start out with him in this game you use a mix of both. He doesn’t have the tricks he once had, so it’s definitely a bait-and-watch game.
Really i assumed his best style was deffensive. I try to play aggresively with him in 2002UM, but to no avail. I play a large poking game with him in that one with great success (if only my gamepad didn’t suk ass so much). He seems more of a character all about mind games, and punishment. to play clark aggressively seems crazy, but i guess not since the best clark player plays him aggresively. by the way, this Abraham, has he tried clark in XII at all yet?
I’m just trying to start discussion on clark since well… this is the clark thread :P. also so far it does seem like he sucks but i think it may be a bit to early to say since this hasn’t been released for console yet.
Well at least Ralf is looking good now, hell even 2 move mature is getting good impressions. We need some mexicans to play XII clark and have them cook up something lol
Uh huh. Spoken like someone who hasn’t even played the game. Shit. If you even watched videos you’ll know he’s not that great. Fuck Mexico and fuck Japan. It’s pretty obvious when a character doesn’t have much potential.
