b.a.l.a has a really solid king
Got the game in the mail today! Loving the game after playing it for a few hours. So far I’m maining Ryo, and looking at Hwa Jai. Messed around with Mission mode and Story mode. Mission mode is tough, but thankfully they have demo play to help get the timing down.
I gotta unlock the extra colours so I can make some crazy shit. With the default colours, I made Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Alex, Vegeta, Dan, and Squall. I tried to make Mr. Incredible but I guess I need the extra colours to do that one.
Bala comes to mind. Look up ReveLAtions 2011 or the EVO 2011 KOF XIII side tourny.
compared to SF4, you need to speed it up cause SF4 is a slow ass game.
How does finding a match work? Does the game search for someone for you or do you have the option to select whoever?
No neg edge?
I’m buffering specials into normals so they cancel on hit but seems like some normals will cancel into specials even when the normal whiffed? Is it some or all normals that do this?
Wow. This game is smooth as butter. Inputs are kinda strict, but I don’t think its as bad as some people here are making it out to be. There doesn’t seem to be any buffering, but things that can be cancelled seem easy to cancel, and what links there are don’t seem to be infuriating 1-2 frame window deals. So far I’m happy.
I’m messing with mission mode. I love that its actually showing me potential uses for things. Drive cancels are freakin’ awesome. I nearly shit myself when I saw I could do stuff like cancel Goro’s throws into other throws. (I love grapplers) This game seems to make figuring out how to apply your meters really fun.
One thing: Goro’s mission #9 is presenting a bit of a strange occurance. The first part of it is j.HK, s.LP LP LK hyper mode cancel, s.LP LP LK. Not so bad on paper. But when I do the hyper mode cancel, half the time he automatically follows it up with a HP and it’s pissing me off to no end. Am I doing something wrong or is the game just being dumb? Obviously you activate hyper mode with LK+HP, but I only hit HP once when I do that. For some reason the game is registering it twice, or the hyper mode activation isn’t “eating” it, or something. Anybody else have this problem?
Some normals can be kara-canceled. Dunno if there’s negative edge but some combos are damn hard to do without buffering.
I love this game but the netplay is HOT GARBAGE. I set my lobbies at 3+ latency and i still feel like im playing with 300 ping. I have good internet too so it definitely isn’t my connection’s fault. sigh, if I can’t somehow fix this problem soon I’m just gonna stop playing this game.
And no there is no offline scene in rural Georgia thanks for your suggestion though.
man this game is rough on the SIXAXIS, tried to use my USB Pad but it’s not working. Fuck that shit. I’m not playing this game on that controller.
Most converters/pads/whatever that don’t have a PS button don’t work in this game. Which is sad because it works fine on the XMB.
Sparkster playing on STL Bar Warz
Small tournament.
MvC2 player here, and I am having so much trouble with the trials for shen XD you cant just mash hit confirms haha, and double motions oh man this is gonna take me awhile to get good at this game
Anyone have any advice on canceling jet upper (df LP) into Ultra Argentine Back Breaker(half circe back x2 + LP or HP) with Clark? Do you have to buffer it?
I’ve done something similar with Goro’s df HP. You have to do something kinda weird like: :hcb: :f::df:LP:qcb: (LP or HP), or :f::df:LP:qcb::hcb:(LP or HP). Basically you gotta sneak the LP for jet upper into the directional input for UABB in a clever way.
A lot of combos are kinda weird like that in this game. It’s not so bad once you’ve practiced it a bit though. Something simpler I tend to do with double half circles is something like hit them with a jumping attack, input the first half circle as I land and then hit the next attack in my combo, and then input the second half circle and the button to activate the super.
That makes sense. It looks tricky though.
There’s so many cool characters! So hard to pick 3 :[
Too bad Chang didn’t make it. No one in that roster is as cool as he is.
So which system seems to be the preferred one for this game? I’m planning on getting this on PS3, though my system is currently broke. It seemed beforehand that more people were saying they were getting it on PS3.
Looking for some sick Yuri play, anyone have a player in mind?
