KoF XIII General Discussion: Part II

Thinking of picking up Maxima just so I can yell “Say it with your chest!” at people at the end of HD combos.

HCB x2 would like to have a word with you

P2 side HCBx2 makes me feel like a terrible person each time I fuck it up

eyy I’m not having troubles with hcbx2, at least not as much as hcb~f… its just a weird input >.>

P1 is OP.

P2 is OP. Who gets to have their theme song play in versus? P2. That’s an advantage that P1 can’t obtain just by a crossup or D Throw or some nonsense.

P2 should be banned.

Is more hard for me to use HCBx2 in certain combos without joystick (specially those with DF + A or C). HCB-F is someway difficult to get used if this is your first kof game.

Yeah, I have no problem doing HCBx2 in Kula’s combos, but it’s a bit harder for me to do it in Clark’s. I dunno why, other than I have to be much closer with Clark and maybe that makes me more nervous about dropping it.

I don’t know if someone already shared this, but a french site compiled all the cameos in the stages.

Pretty cool: http://www.signedbyr.com/fr/news_i/slider/kof-xiii-les-cameos/ Run that Google translate.

Wtf lol…
Barrack Obama, l’actuel président des Etats-Unis d’Amérique.”

Ah, Barack Obama. I forgot he was an SNK character.

Aside from the Obama troll, it’s a damn good list. Caught a lot of stuff that I missed - happy to see the Anti-Kyokugen Team spying on the dojo.

My roommate keeps telling me that characters like Cham Cham, Charlotte, Kagami, etc., showing up in the background is not just simple fanservice - it’s proof that Ash and Saiki have fucked up the timeline beyond repair.

I know that there are threads that are character specific, but what do the DLC characters play like? What I mean is do they hit like a truck, very lockdown/frame trap orientated etc. I already bought N.Kyo and I am curious on how the other two play.

EDIT–I know I can just look in the threads, but I am lazy and I thought this would save some time

Possible hints at future KOF characters?

I would love love love to have Charlotte on my team.

EX Iori and EX Kyo certainly are da gawds of fundamentals plus good lockdown/frametraps. I’m making a video soon on EX Kyo basics. Right now I’m working on some other general videos.

I would like to see the EX Kyo Video when it gets made, I need to get better with him

I’m trying to main Mr. Karate right now. You really should check the thread, but he’s got beastly damage output, and for very little meter (he works very well without drive, in particular). Midscreen meterless BnB for 1/4 of a lifebar, or 40% for 1 bar. He’s got at least two ways to ream you for throwing fireballs, so don’t. Ever. Seriously.

Definitely falls in the “hits like a truck” category. Due to his efficacy sans meter, I’d say he might actually be best on point, though I also like him on anchor. He seems really versatile in terms of where you place him, and I don’t think he has any particularly terrible matchups, either.

LMAO! I always said that dude looked like Obama. And damn, all those eye-catches…

@the7k… honestly, that could make a lot of sense if SNK was really going for that. Not that it’s really conclusive evidence since they often do weird eye-catches in KoF games anyway, but honestly that would be a fairly… interesting way to add some odd roster choices to the next game.

Could be used to bring back the New Faces team too. Or maybe Cham Cham in KoF XIV? :razzy:

Does anyone know if they fixed the EX Kyo RED kick bug?

Haven’t been any updates as far as I remember, so most likely not. Honestly it’s not even that big of a deal, dunno why you would do a RED kick point blank anyway.
