Oh…I started feeling like I was playing wrong or something. Seems almost impossible to press the exact buttons at the exact time without any other extraneous button presses in this game, especially for those Trial combos.

STA 5v5 Quals were so hype
I’ll post them in the video thread
Keep telling yourself that…
I double tap more for the light attack chains (three crouching LKs in a row, for example) because while the timing for them is straight forward enough, I find it oddly tricky to go “tap, tap, tap, combo into special <more combo stuff> tap, tap, tap, combo into special/finisher”. I can combo strongs into specials into supers far more easily than I can do those annoying little light attacks into anything else. I can do Vice’s HD combos more consistently than I can start a BnB with three crouching shorts.
Same. All the characters I use seem to hit confirm in that manner. Hit confirming is tough.
Well, I guess its alright since I’m not the only one doing it.
In such a rushdown oriented game who do you think is the best fireball zoner in 13? Athena seems to be the popular choice, but I think it’s king she can pressure with them well mid screen.
King, Andy, Athena, Kensou, Ash. (not in this order)
I think you are right in that King is probably the strongest zoner though.
I main King but have been messing around with Athena after observing BananaKen and Justin Wong at NEC. Believe it or not, I actually have more success with Athena despite only knowing a few combos and gimmicks.
IMO, Ash is strongly underrated.
Sans-culotte is one of the biggest reasons to respect him.
so with the 2012 update released I picked up SFIV again for bit.
then I returned to KOF and never looked back. it felt…primitive.
Ash will be the character that everyone says isnt good, but come 2 months from now he’ll be top tier.
Right now, I was looking for someone to start point and just fuck shit up so I picked up Shen and holymotherfuck he’s broken lol. Repel is too good, his overhead is random so most people wont block the shit. His BnB does 239 which is like .5 less than Kyo’s bnb but its worth it. He can dish out as much as he takes in and dash punch feints build meter, so you can get a blockstring going then feint to get meter, bait a jump or projectile and GALATIKA PHANTOM basically. Right now, I can damn near OCV with him and no one gets to Andy nearly as much.
Also working on my Iori(12’), I have his 96% HD combo down but for some reason maiden masher rarely comes out after the dp, I looked at my inputs and its either I need a new sanwa JLF or I’m inputting it in too fast because my downfoward motion for the qcf part will register either after forward or not at all.
Andy is… what can I say? He’s godlike, his blockstrings make people sweat their pants and his zoning traps are dirty
LOL, same exact thing for me. Was all excited to play it after work… played it for like five matches and was like:
“…I really want to practice my Yuri combos right now.”
And so, I did. :razzy:
Not saying I won’t look back as I still like IV, but… yeah, right now? My mind is all in KOF mode.
We call it… KoF Boner.
Hmm… so that’s what it is. If it doesn’t go away for over 2 weeks, should I uh… be concerned?
Seriously though, just the amount of movement options alone are what I’ve always enjoyed about KoF (and GG/BB for that matter). Aside from a laundry list of other things.
That and the fact that KoF knows how to treat its grapplers… I’ve had a lot of fun playing Clark, too. <3
I thought Ash was always good. Just most people don’t want to deal with a zoner who has to charge (even if charge time isn’t SF long charge) and his offensive rushdown game is somewhat outclassed by others who do it better. That and most people I figure struggle with getting off Sans-culotte effectively in a match.
on that note though Ash doesn’t hurt nearly as much anymore.
and yea I played AE2012 for like…5 mins tops to fool with Cody changes. Then I just turned it off and went back to doing something else.
KofXIII makes me excited when I play, just like Guilty Gear days… Funny how kof gives me the thrill like GG while BB feels like trash to me.
Surprisingly, I haven’t vs a single K user online or Kula for that matter. I figured they would be popular.
I love this game but man does my execution have a long ways to go, this game allows no scrubby bull shit whatsoever.
Guess I’m like most people in here. Havn’t even updated AE, and don’t feel like playing at all. Just wish I could go online in KOF without feeling crippled :<
I’ve gone online in 2-3 sessions now, rest is just mission mode and practice since I got the game. Still enjoy it like crazy.
Yeah, I haven’t even updated. I just don’t care about SF4 right now.
this is me
