Same here. My problem right now seems to be my point character, which has been fluctuating between Clark, Leona, Mai, Ralf and Kula.
Good list, and all things I’m working on as well, alongside actually getting further into trial mode and improving my execution in general.
Anyone know how I can watch the Top 4 matches from SCR? I missed the stream due to work and still haven’t gotten around to seeing them.
Things I need to do: Stop accidentally activating HD mode anytime I hit C.
My solution: replace these sensitive-as-all-hell Sanwa buttons with Seimitsus. Hoping that it works.
Other than that, I also need to learn to hop consistently - but I’m just now switching from pad to stick, so I guess it’ll come with time. I also need to train myself to follow up counter hits, as well as remember to build meter with safe special whiffs after certain combos.
Things I need to do: Learn practical Neo Max combos. That’s about it.
You should add Kula to your team. You could call it Team Arcana Heart, or the Teen Girl Squad.
Nah, but seriously, Kula is great. Currently maining Kula/Yuri/Iori and I’m loving it.
Maybe I’m biased though. I’m fond of blue haired chicks.
So I am having a character chrisis right now lol… who are the best rushdown characters in this game? I am pretty set on having XIII Iori on the squad but I need to figure out 2 more.
Shen, Yuri, Hwa?
I suggest trying EX Kyo, Shen, Terry, Ryo, Vice, Duo Lon, Kim, Hwa Jai, and/or Yuri.
first time kof player. i’ve dabbled with kof in the past with emulators but never took it seriously and some of the lingo mixes me up. are Desperation Moves and Supers the same thing?
Yes Sir.
Yes, in game is weird because they call them Desperation Moves in the Target Actions but then in the move lists they are called Super Special Moves
LOL! Actually I’d joked before that I was going to make “team 2cute” my actual team… but the “Team Arcana Heart” works better methinks.
I’ll probably try it out for a while once I get back to AZ, see how it goes. Not sure of the position if I do make her a part of the main team, though I’m thinking probably second (and putting Athena first, Yuri still anchor).
EDIT: My second squad is looking like Mai/Clark/Leona.
Just a quick question, I’m having trouble hit confirming into Kyo’s QCF forward kick move. Can I combo anything into that?
Heavy version can be comboed off of cl.hp, cr.hp and the first hit of his down-forward hk move.
Light version can be comboed from cr. lp, and any moves that the hard version can be comboed to.
cr.B, cr.A, downforward D (1 hit) xx qcf B/D
cl.C, downforward D (1 hit) xx qcf B/D
Debating Saiki, K’ or Billy for the final open spot on my main team.
I also didn’t notice before because I played all of XI on the default buttons for XIII, but the old SNK ABCD button layout may be much better for XIII.
cr. B
s.B
s.C
d/f + D
pretty much anything.
easiest is
cr. B, cr.A, cr. d/f +D, (one hit), qcf + K
So after tons of bouncing around, I decided to go with the Ikari Warriors team. I wanted to play a canon team and I’m getting better with these three.
So far the order is Leona/Ralf/Clark. I like to give Clark most of the meter cause he can take off 55% of the opponent’s life if they jump or 50% if they get hit by EX Gatling Attack while grounded. Ralf forces the opponent in the corner, where he gets most of his damage, especially in HD mode. He also has that armored hook as an anti-air. Leona has those gdlk normals that move her forward while still retaining the charge. I feel she has some mixups too with her EX Earring and EX Air slasher.
I’m a very novice Clark player myself and I have him on anchor as well. What’s the anti-jump combo though, It’s definitely not something I’m familiar with.
You do EX Gatling Attack, then juggle with HP Gatling Attack, then NeoMax before they hit the ground. Uses 4 bars and a full drive meter.
