KoF XIII General Discussion: Part II

You need to come out to the tournaments!

yea i know. i keep telling you tho to pm me but you keep forgetting lol

What are Clark’s safe jumps? Because my problem is I get a knockdown or do A Gatlin’ and end with a reset and if I go in, more than half the time the other guy is going to do a wakeup SRK or EX. If I just block they either jump (which is good, but I’m trying to get the timing down to air-grab them) or they runaway.

Man, playing Metal Slug lately makes me want to go all Team Ikari Warriors on a mother fucker.

Any people around Ontario, Canada playing this online?

Didnt know where else to ask this without making a new thread so ill just put this here. I’m thinking about getting KOF but have a few questions about it before hand.
Im primarily from a street fighter backround (started playing in 2010) so is the execution really that intense compared to street fighter? I have the demo and was doing a few drive cancel combos with some ease.
How is the online in NY, i know the local seen here is pretty good but i dont always have the time/money to go to the arcade. Will playing online way more often then at the arcade be useless?

Execution: Depends on how you view it. I personally have a lot more trouble with all the links required in SF4 combos than I do with the all the canceling required in the longer KOF XIII combos.

KOF XIII, like most games, have more or less combo heavy characters, so it mostly depends on who you pick. A character like Daimon has very simple combos, while someone like Chin is a bit more complicated. Also, most of the long combos in 13 (HD stuff etc) are more about memorizing the whole thing rather then having actual difficult execution IMO so i dont think you will have that much more trouble then sf4. Also, make sure to check out the shortcuts thread on dreamcancel.com since overlapping inputs etc is the #1 reason for dropping combos in 13 hehe.

Same, cancelling is easy.

Thanks for the replys. but what about the online in NY

it’s pretty bad

It’s playable. But there’s few people online who know how to play KOF. Are you down around Manhattan or upstate?

It’s not playable, don’t listen to anyone that says it is…

Netcode is bad and most connections will be unplayable, but I have a pretty large list of players on my friend’s list who I have very solid connections with and can more or less play the game the way it’s meant to be played with.

And I live in the middle of absolute nowhere. I’d imagine I’d be having even more success if I lived in a large city with lots of players and decent internet.

Is there anywhere I can find frame data for this game ? Console version

thanks dude , i heard if i press select when picking a colour some characters have alternate costumes, can anyone tell me which ones have them ? i would check but i wont be on the xbox for the next 3 days.

Kyo, Benimaru, Elizabeth, Ralf, Raiden, Joe, Andy, Yuri, Takuma, K’

and do i just need to press select to use them ? like do i get them from the start or are there challenges i need to do to use them?

Just scroll over to Takuma, Kyo, Iori and hit select to bring up their EX counterparts.
