KoF XIII General Discussion: Part II

You’re making the game sound pretty good.

I’m just hoping people will actually pick up this game and take it seriously; it’s one of the most balanced and fun KOF games with interesting, new tools for returning characters. People complain about K’ and Raiden, but I’d say it’s mainly due to the commonality of the characters. K’ is still just 02um with less tools but bigger damage output, you can deal with him. Raiden’s EX Tackles after Drop Kicks is silly, but he still has to set up for drop kicks with limited amounts of tools he has without his kicks.

Compared to Goro, Chizuru, Iori, O. Yashiro, and Chris in 98 or Athena, Billy, Choi, Kim, Angel, and Vanessa in 02; K’ and Raiden are small time. Although very balanced, characters actually have good, interesting tools that are not simply homogenized. Although zoning characters could do more cr.B, cr.A knockdowns or running cr.B pressure, they’re still largely zoners and have differently focused strengths and not play like Kyo or K’.

the problem with yuri is that she doesn’t have the same range as before, she is smaller now.

people will complain for the lack of moves in this game, EX moves will supplement this probably.

Some things don’t seem to work as well as before like clark’s close c into command grab, I missed that one several times

and the game doesn’t feel as smooth as other kofs,

this is normal because of the new graphics, the game is still evolving but it feels like kof somehow

I never had this problem with Yuri. Her hitboxes and normals are all pretty good. Clark’s cl.C into command grab works fine for me. The game certainly is KOF, it even feels faster than 98 and smoother than the mess 02 og feels like (chaining crouching light attacks for example, it’s better in 02um though.)

Maybe it’s just me. I main 98 but I have a friend that prefers to play 02 so I learned enough of that game just so I could help him with his game. Then I went on to learn 00 and a bit of XI so I can easily transition from one KOF to another without problems. In the context of the whole matter, XIII feels really good. I’d say the main thing is just getting used to phasing through people as you hop through them and it leads to easier and dirtier cross ups, which I do enjoy though.

I have confirmation from someone that collaborates closely with Atlus and the KOF XIII development team about the netcode, I can’t say anything, -anything, but when I knew what KOF XIII will use as it’s netcode, and I’m a huge skeptic, I became very happy and all I can say is that KOF XIII will have the best netcode of -all-, yes, and it’s not an overstatement, ALL console fighting games released till now. News should be coming soon… at an important event somewhere. Sorry people, I can’t clear up anything else.

This is the sketchiest fucking post I’ve ever read. “I have sources, but I can’t actually say anything, and I can’t actually even hint about what the thing I can’t talk about is, but its totally real you guys”

But I’m hyped anyway.

I just can’t throw out any information yet, but what I know will, hopefully be revealed soon at a coming event. If I say anything it’d be pretty easy to figure out what’s going to be. I can say this however, it’s something I, as a skeptic and more or less pesimist didn’t think was going to happen. It might be KOF’s startup point in the US. Actually, it surely will be.

Go ahead and say the four magic letters Pablo. We know you want to.

No, it isn’t that…

So 8 golden letters then

I can’t go on further.

oh boy can’t wait for og kaillera

I didn’t confirm 8 letters. Whatever it is, it has more than 8 letters.

I was just kidding. OG Kaillera would be terrible.

More than 8 letters? isn’t GGPO? Nothing comes to mind at all :frowning:
Oh well, still hoping for the best!

Join date is today, basically says “I know some stuff, but can’t say anything,” which is basically nothing.

This post means nothing. Nothing.

I’ll laugh at you in no more than a month.

I was talking about rollback

I saw your name and thought, “Where does that sound familiar?” Then I remembered the GGPO 3s room. It’s been a while since seeing that handle. Riverside, that’s pretty close to Modesto, CA. I must have really dropped 3s hard for 98.

someone has to really be bored to troll about something KoF on SRK.

just sayin.
