I’ll line up Clark next, then. I have most of Andy’s stuff done at the moment, I’m just waiting for something to see if I can have my articles posted on IPW instead of LogicFighter.
I whole heartedly agree with your two previous posts. Takuma is slept on too much. and my match video against sparkster from the stl tournament i went to a couple months ago, I asked the guys in dc what i could have done different, and immediately got flamed and said “zone more”.
Wrote a new article on DC frontpage.
I need help on how to neo max cancel, 
i’m on the tutorial mode and I don’t know what i’m doing wrong, is there specific timing?
There is a specific timing with every character. You usually will cancel the last hit of the DM to max cancel, although some timings are real weird like Vice’s air grab super to neomax, and some you can cancel earlier like Yuri’s rush super.
Well I am doing the tutorial mode and kyo is the default character, how do i do it with him, i have to cancel from his super special move to his neo max super special
iirc pretty much immediately. You can also hold the buttons down after inputting the motion and the input will be repeated for a few frames, making the timing a little easier (i.e., you can be a little early on it, but not late).
Make sure you aren’t doing the motion too fast also. That happened with me when I was getting used to the game and was getting frustrated with Clark’s. Couldn’t figure out why and I slowed down a little and can hit it every time now.
Also press and hold the buttons when you do it so you get the extra inputs. It’s like plinking in kof.
oh I just understood, I didn’t activate that thing, which require to press lp and hk, what is that called and what its use?
Sorry for being so nooby, I just started literally playing this game an hour ago, looks fun…
HD mode. Yeah you need that to do the Max cancel. In hd mode it costs 2 bars and you can cancel the super into it. Outside of hd mode it costs 3 bars and a full drive meter.
No worries, we all started somewhere. It’s Always great to see new people getting into the game :tup:
Thanks :), damn there’s so many features, super special moves, max cancel, neo max cancel, hd mode and more lol.
what would you recommend learning as fundamentals of the game?
Search on YouTube ‘how to play kof’ there is a great video about the core fundamentals of the series.
There is a 20 minute one I believe. It’s called ‘the beginner’s incomplete guide to kof’ that should help a lot.
To be honest. looks both ways I play this like third strike and CvS2 more than anything lol.

This wiki is amazing resource to the game so yeah browse that.
I really get the cvs2 feel from it too. But I honestly haven’t been this passionate about a fighter since 3s/mvc2/cvs2. I just want to play kof all damn day. This and skullgirls have kindled my fighting spirit like none other!
Thanks guys, appreciate it, are you guys from Europe?
I’m from California.
oh right, i guess this game is more popular in the states
Nice, I was thinking about making an article or video on counterhits, but you covered most of it here (especially figuring out which attacks can be counterhit).
What made you think that lol.
I’m from Alabama.
