KOF XII - Kim Kaphawn thread

So can someone check this before I get the game.

Anti-air CD into FF+D?

I can get air to air j.CD to FF+D only on counter hit. I can’t get anti-air CD into FF+D.

The most satisfying rage quit I’ve ever had actually came with me playing as Kim, where I landed like 5 crossup hits with the jQCB+K.

Spudly were they tk (2147+k) or were they from jumping in or out?

sorry if i couldnt catch it on this post but i was lookin if its possable to do standing AA to flip kick since i put the practice mode and the cpu was doing that all the time and i couldnt pull it off myself

Saw a few mention the tk’d qcb+k, so I thought I’d mention a few wierd/cool things about it.

First of all, if done properly, it has almost no recovery. The second you touch the ground you can block. But thats pretty simple, now for the weird stuff.

If done at absolute minimum range, it’ll whiff entirely, passing over their heads. It looks pretty weird, because it seems like you’re teleporting through the upper half of their body (at least if they’re big). Crossing up is easy against a ducking opponent. From my practice it seems to be about maximum jab range to do a crossup on someone ducking. against standing opponents its trickier. My execution is iffy at best, but I’d get it to crossup against someone standing about a quarter of the time. My best guess is that you can actually change the height to an appreciable degree when doing the initial input, with a later one being higher, and able to crossup. That’d be a test for someone with excellent timing and coordination.

qcb+k in the air (used normally) crosses up quite easily with some practice, but its really dangerous to try, since you’re eminently vulnerable from below.

You might wonder about the experimentation, but I’ve found that the tiger kneed version of that move SERIOUSLY gives people fits on the occasions when you get a good connection.

at close range you can try to do 2B2A > TK 214D for a crossup setup

also kim’s throw is untechable which is good

So i’ve tried many variations on Kim’s CCs… and it doesn’t seem like you can top 520-530 damage (on iori). A few other chars like Kensou of the top of my head, can do that without using super. Does Kim have anything better?

^The famitsu combo does a bit more, 562 to be exact.

What’s everyone doing for meterless combos? Particularly midscreen? I’ve been doing the famitsu one with qcb+D finisher instead of DM.

Just stopped in to say that Kim seems to shit all over Raiden. This is good because Raiden seems pretty good imo. Kim can mix the fuck out of him for free:annoy:

I do d+B, d+B d+A > B flip kick (more damage than D cause of distance). or two d+A instead of two d+B doesn’t matter much

other than that I should look at his stuff again myself cause I’m not sure

It’s either that combo, or end it with a super. Kim is more about mixups than combos it seems. That same string opens up his crossup and high/low/throw game so it’s really about all you need. You can also co small jump a into crouching c into whatever you like.

Sorry I said meterless combos, I meant meterless CC combos. That’s my fault.

That’s the BnB I tend to use too.

Which one’s the famitsu one? i recently saw kofunion’s 570 damage one in the corner.

They can all be found here, minus Kensou, Elisabeth, and Mature.

Dont know if its been mentioned, but you can cancel into air qcf+k and air qcb+k off jumping punches. I couldnt combo into anything off j.a, not j.a xx air qcf+b or j.a xx qcb+b (this doesnt even hit at all, and kim just lands on the other side of them)

Yeah, a good setup with that is hop up or u/b+A for an instead overhead, then cancel into qcb+B for a crossup.

Was this combo possible

I’ve seen a few talks about using the f,f+HK to set up Hishouyaku QCF+K I was wondering if anyone was able to pull of the combo showcased in Kim Kaphwans combo here [media=youtube]5RUELWf06dg]YouTube - The King of Fighters XII (Kim Kaphwan Combo) Trailer [GamerFan’09] [HD[/media] at 0:16.

I see it as Hold CD, standing HP,f,f+HK Hishoyaku. I was able to connect standing HP into f,f+HK but no luck with the rest of it.

I just need to know if my efforts are a waste of time or if its possible cause its a pretty nice looking combo.
