North Carolina Thread LXIII

Well I didnt actually say that was my reason for not playing KOF, I was just pointing out one of the things about the series that turns me off. Theres also no scene for SNK fighters in the US. On top of the game just being a bore to watch compared to the other fighters that are out.

Theres no need for you to take that personal btw.

KOF always struck me as [S]mexican[/S] flashy Street Fighter so I’m a bit confused by this. I don’t know KOF XII and XIII look quite pretty in action kinda wish 13 would have the silly zoom and confetti effect from 12 when you scored the critical counter hit, but of course make it for activating that new bar thingy.

Not gonna be able to make it tomorrow’s tourney since its my sister’s birthday, but I should be able to show up at EZ this upcoming Friday. Anyone trying to get some practice on UMvC3 as much as me?

Alright guys. Headed to EZ. KoF will be there.

Er…whos doing the next whatever at their whenever? Online sucks. I’ll drive to Raleigh or Durham it doesnt really matter at this point.

I think nobody in the Triad facebook group knows me well enough to respond to my posts (lol). So um…here I am!

What’s up man. Check us out on the Facebook group. The Charlotte group is always doing things. I have Bar Fights every Wednesday night and tourneys every week.

Here is the link!

Let me know if you don’t have a facebook account. The guys from Greensboro come down almost every Wednesday. We can see about getting you a car pool with them :wink:

Gonna put it out there that the KOF netcode is certainly “alright”. I definitely am going to place it at that solid SF4 level. Definitely not as good as BB has had it and I feel 3SO was alright except for the mass amount of idiots with misconfigured routers online. So I would put it below those two, above the first MVC3 and around SF4.

Really? That is a bold statement cause SF4 netcode is really, really good when connected to someone that has a good connection. I can connect to guys in NY that have fiber and it’s like we are playing offline almost.

I sure hope it’s good. I don’t think they can afford for it not to be. That explains why there is no spectator mode :confused:

WOOP WOOP

I’ll add the group next time I log in.

Perfect. I will add you on there. Add me: Brian Tactiks Peck. I can update you with everything when you log on.

Later

At first I was like “Whaaa? We talking about the same game that has Ryuko-ranbu and beam supers?” But I had to sit and think about it. While KOF has the capacity for a certain amount of craziness, one valid complaint about the older games is that hitsparks and hitstun has a certain amount of visual “softness” to it that lacked impact and downplays the gameplay. XIII seems as if they took that complaint to heart and specifically made things more flashy. However, I’d argue that they may have over did it since some visual effects seem to clash a bit/detract from the sprites.

Just wanted to say that after this past EZ, Sofa King is one of the greatest players I’ve ever met. Real talk.

Nah most def, check out all the boring bitchslaps with fire:

Shoutouts to the commentators being like “Why are these people cheering for Smurvis? Are they trolling?” :lol

Man I made quite a few mistakes, definitely wished I’d have done better. But glad I placed even if it was an AH3 sized bracket.

Damnit Jimmy how you gonna beat me twice and then get third? You were farming me for wins so you could place, you jerk :lol:

I think I can say this with good confidence after playing more people in UMVC3, games more broke than vanilla ever was. XF3 is still stupid. Wesker is retarded. Doom is stupid. Vergil is amazing. Ghost Rider is a cheap son of a bitch. Doctor Strange book super is fucking retarded. They may have nerfed the gay stuff from vanilla but there’s plenty more new gay stuff for people to rage about.

If I drop one more combo into being foot dived into death with doom having like 4 hours to OTG, I’m gonna lose it.

I’m gonna have to test this to make sure but I’m pretty sure if doom connects j.S you can put down your stick buy a cup of coffee and a bagel come back pick up your stick and not drop the combo.

For real though can doom j.S>land>taunt>H I wouldn’t be surprised if he could.

so basically what your saying is they made it more mahvel then the last game.

Yurp. Really feels like there’s even less actual substantial thought / gameplay going on than there was before.

Good games today at EZ. KOF XIII is so fun.

And thanks Will, for helping us out with the Arcana venue fee incident.
