Hello, I recently got into fighting games last year. I have been playing on a Hori Real Arcade Pro stick since January and I am having problems doing rekkas in KOF XIII with characters like Mature, Duo Lon and EX Iori.
For some reason, I don’t have problems doing rekkas in Skullgirls (Ms. Fortune) or Street Fighter games (Rolento), but in this game it feels like the timing is more strict.
Sometimes, I can do QCF rekkas on the left side of the screen, but I fail badly on the right side (If I’m lucky I can get 2 hits) and vice versa with QCB rekkas.
Anybody got some training advice or any exercises? How did you get better at timing the rekkas?
I remember I had trouble with rekkas in KOFXIII at first too… but now I’m trying to fail at them but I can’t. Perhaps you are missing diagonal inputs? Usually when I mess up rekka chains in this game, it’s due to a diagonal input going missing.
Look at your inputs - make sure you aren’t skipping a step, or punching before the motion completes itself or anything like that. If that isn’t the problem, then you’ll just have to work on when to input the motion. I personally find that there is a lot of leeway on when to input the motion (you can do them very rapidly or delay them a good bit), but it’s likely less leeway than there would be in other fighters.
