Lol this game is absolutely garbage online. It makes SF4 seem like the Golden God of netcodes. If you are getting it for online you might want to take a pass.
Although it’s kind of cheating, I did cr.B cr.B st.B xx dp.C qcb.D(DC) hcbx2.AC
The game doesn’t care if you add anything into the combo, so you can exploit that to a certain extent.
That’s how I did it.
That’s good to know. I’ll try it out with Ice Breath.
Is there anywhere I can go to find the winner’s (Top 3 if possible), and the teams they used, of the various KOFXIII console tournaments?
Just wondering if anyone has collected the results, or if I need to do the research myself.
Best bet is checking out the youtube channels of spooky and level up for NEC and SCR majors.
from what I remember, it’s been a nice variety overall though. Helps that most of the top placers have a good knowledge with most of the cast.
Yeah, but I don’t have time to train against the entire cast before EVO, much less the tourneys I plan to attend next month.
I’ll check out those videos, though. Thus far, it seems like it’d be a good idea to train against Team Japan, Billy, Clark and maybe Team K’.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.
I got another input question. How do I do Yuri’s Haou Shoukouken (The Half circle one)? Do I just quickly do the foward input then the half circle? Also, is there a trick to doing the move?
Onto something a little different, how is Mr.Karate gonna play? I don’t know if he was in any of the previous KoF games and the guide says he plays like a more aggressive Takuma.
Yeah, its just F, HCF+A. There are input tricks you can find on Dream Cancel, though.
As for Mr.Karate, I’d look to Marco from Garou as well as Mr.Karate from SvCC.
Elizabeth, Athena and Saiki were present 3 times in the combined Top 4s of SCR and NEC. Yuri and Hwa were present twice.
Meanwhile, Shen/Clark/Iori and Kim/Saiki/Daimon took SCR and NEC respectively… I’d say with Clark and Daimon being the scariest characters on those teams (at least, in those player’s hands).
Surprised to see Kyo and Iori not repped as much in the final 4. I see them all the time online as anchors. Even I use Claw Iori as an anchor, but that’s mainly because I’m a loyalist.
I guess, really, certain characters being present 2 or 3 times isn’t statistically significant, but it’s at least a place to start.
Wow, only two Yuri players? Can’t see that happening at EVO.
People sleeping on Hwa Jai. That dude got HD combos outside of HD mode. Grape soda gives him super powers.
Ha ha, yeah, I’m surprised Hwa Jai isn’t used more often - even I’m considering moving him into my main team, and I consider my main team pretty bulletproof. And yeah, I’m glad I picked up Yuri early.
wow I didnt realize the input windows were that big to get the whole qcb, f for the upercut to come out.
Go Magical School Girl! I feel Yuri will see some more play in the upcoming tournaments on the road to EVO. On the Kyo and Iori part, I think for most people it is the same reason that you play him, loyalty. The other reason why is because they are poster characters. I know that when I played KoF a long time ago, I picked up Kyo because he was on the cover (Also, given that I was in 7th grade and I didn’t know much of fighting games at the time. I did love Tekken). Though Mai is more of a poster character than either one of those two. UMvC3 is seeing a lot of weskers right now but that will diminish as the game ages and I assume that the same can be applied to KoF. I do love how there was a grappler in each team that took SCR and NEC.
Hey dumb question: does hitstun from heavy cause your inputs to be eaten up very briefly? I can combo from j.A and j.B just fine, but I actually have a lot more trouble from j.C and j.D. It’s probably just my timing, but I thought I should ask.
Sorry for this dumb questiion but I have no clue how to unlock the team endings… Seriously I see them all on youtube but I never have seen one in the console edition in the game… I played through story mode and arcade mode but all I’m getting are the usual scenes
Does anyone know any good sites for KOFXIII? I actually wanna get into it. Is Duo a good character to learn if your a novice at the game?
yes this sounds like an issue with timing. Try a little slower and it should work.
i think you have to beat dark ash in arcade mode with the respective team.

frame-advantage.com for match vids.
I think duo is fine. Most of his stuff is safe, especially the rekkas. so if youre okay with doing funky stuff with your d-pad/stick you should be fine.
Im not sure what team to build around him though…
Also: no dumb questions, only dumb answers. Like mine:)
