Is AH for this Saturday or the next one?
I think it’ll be for the next one, from what I understand. The last time I play NC in AH3 was during the Elite Zone tournament I streamed.
Does anyone need a carpool from RDU to RESE this weekend? Armando’s got 2 slots left and we wanna fill them. Gotta make that gas cheaper!
Yeah, I played a little Arcana with Shiki at FR. I still like the game, just don’t get to play it much.
If VF is out by then (good possibility), I’ll come down no matter what.
May try to take a day off for the next one if I can swing it.
As for the KOF- some oldschool KOF players don’t like many of the changes in XIII, you’re seen Ed and Shiki both complain now. I personally see their point, but I don’t think it’s bad enough to make the game garbage or anything. It’s still worth playing- I just hope traditional KOF comes back with the next installment some.
Well some people may not like those individual aspects, if they’re even there, but I think a HUGE thing this KoF has over other KoF games is balance. Seriously, every fucking character is good. And the production value is way higher than the average SNK game as well. Like it or not, KoF13 is here to stay.
KOF 13 is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time. It has aspect of CvS2 but nothing seems whoreable in this game. Way too many options and you have to think so fast all the time. It is truely a dedication game.
I don’t have a problem with people playing and enjoying KOF13 really, but people need to stop saying this.
It’s not true.
Oh please, Shiki would complain about a free glass of kool-aid because the sugar to water ratio was UNBALANCED!
The game is more balanced than most of the old games period. MvC2… 5 characters, CvS2… 3 characters, 3rd Strike… 3 Characters. Maybe it’s a capcom thing. Well no because KOF 11 was 1 character and then 2 1a characters. KOF 13 I can’t speak on any of the other new gen games that have come out because I haven’t given them a chance but balance and KOF 13 go hand and hand. I mean why is Bala winning with every character? He’s good but you would think that the characters would be exposed by now.
Yeah, every character in 13 has some shit that can get them a W regardless of whether or not you know about it. The worst characters can still kill you, which is what it’s all about balance wise.
That’s a strong argument you provided for your point. I’ll have to file it for consideration in my bank of retarded shit I’ve heard this week.
I’m going to the WNB next week, and I’d like to play more people in SG. Also, if anyone wants to help me learn more about KOF and have some matches (keep in mind this will be the second time I’ve ever touched a KOF game please), that’d be awesome.
I think every character is at least decent. The only other KOFs where you can really say that are the UM games. Then again, XIII console is really XIII UM given the balance changes SNK put in from arcade.
At the very least , the bottom tier in XIII (Terry/Leona/Maxima) is much more competitive and tourney-viable then the bottom tier in any other Evo game this year.
I don’t think HD is a balancing crutch either, as most of the lower tier chars aren’t helped out a ton by HD, the game might actually be a little better balanced without HD.
Also, I like that XIII is well-balanced, it gives a nice glass of shut the hell up to the folks who say imbalance is good and necessary for fighting games. It’s not perfectly balanced, no game is, but you can win with anyone.
Terry, low tier? Knew I liked him for a reason >.>
There’s nobody else to play in Skullgirls. You got Jon or Armando. That’s it.
I was playing someone else Wednesday. I don’t really know anyone, so I’m just gonna say. If you were thinking about trying it but never saw anyone else playing it or whatever, I’m always going to be up for some games. Why do you sound like I’m offending you? Or is that me misinterpreting the situation?
edit: Also, my GT is in my sig. If anyone wants to play me on xbl, I’m always there. I can play AE fairly decent.
… Leona with HD is Godlike. She get’s probably the most benefit of meter and HD. Meterless she gets 80% HD combos. If HD combos weren’t in the game then there’d be less to fear and then charactrers like Leona would be really trash
This is true but Leona is a unique case she is really good with meter and ASS without. No meter Leona is probably the worst character in the game. Thats why everyone says she is bottom tier because she is so reliant on drive/stock.
Gonna be playing some games for a bit at my place today, not a huge gathering but if anyone wants in, feel free to come.
[SIZE=3]I don’t know if KoF would be better with or without HD meter, I know it would be somewhat less random, but characters with strong damage meterless would probably dominate. IE: Karate converts super meter into death extremely easy. Meanwhile Kensou would lose almost all of his damage without an HD bar to help him out. So in the end it’s probably better that we have the option, even if it is frustrating dying to cr.LK > death. [/SIZE]
Maxima is bottom? That’s the first I’ve heard that…
Terry’s just simple and (arguably) effective. He doesn’t do enough without resources to be a good point character and with resources, other characters can do a lot more in more situations.
Leona seems kinda gimmicky. If you’re stocked, you’re incredibly dangerous (I’ve been v-slasher bypassed enough to know), but so are a lot of other characters who are more dangerous at other periods of the match.
They’re all good in their own way though and all the characters have access to something that DOES do good damage. You may or may not be able to execute it ;p. Yeah, no HD means the drive cancel/stun combo characters would be far and away top. No drive meter at all would mean…Elizabeth, Saiki, Hwa, a few others would be too good.
P-SOUL???
