I said that about Saiki awhile back. I also think the story will be the same for Mr. Karate, 98 Iori, and 97 Kyo.
Well, that’s unfortunate.
I’m starting a facebook group for people that want updates on my gatherings. If you guys are interested and haven’t already been added:

Fuck the DLC characters except Mr. Karate, but Takuma is already good enough.
I’d pay money for that flaming homo Iori to NOT be in the game.
Also, for the inevitable “How do I unlock shit” for KOF 13 questions:
Just got back from Gamestop. Pre-ordered and payed for KOF XIII. 
So it’s generally expected that the console exclusive characters won’t be used for tournament play? For some reason I’m kind of glad, considering most of them are gonna be DLC characters anyway (which just causes more of a hassle during tournaments).
True statement.
Thank you. I personally like playing good fighting games, no matter the company. What upsets me is when Capcom exclusive players down other games ONLY because its not a Capcom named game. At least pick it up and try it out legitimately. If its not your thing then its just not for you. But don’t see insert Capcom game and feel the need to get good at it before its even released.
Thank you again. Just because its Capcom they’ll play it until they love it, but anything else is shunned by just the thought.
That was the reason I stopped playing months ago to focus on only Tekken. Sure I’ll play any fighting game that catches my interest anytime of the day when I feel like it, but I’m not gonna sit down and actually practice to learn a game when I’m falling behind in my main game. That’s why I’m thankful for all the stuff Justin has taught me up to this point and even more things I know I’ll gain from him in the future. DD, Negro, and 7th have also helped me out a bunch. The game I’ve come to understand and in some cases come to “accept.” After this past EZ I realized something else, another “step” if you will that Justin had talked to me a while back about. I’m pretty confident I can reach that next level now, but then again action speaks louder than words.
Not to sway too far from my main point, but I don’t care if people play marvel or not. If its a game they enjoy then so be it. I think its a fun game, but competitively I still think its stupid. Something I’ll play a ton, but I won’t be rushing out to tournaments for it. My problem is people excluding KOF just because its not a Capcom game. And yes, whether you agree with me or not due to my non “OG” status, I still believe its chalked full of BS. But like you said, “if it, somehow, doesn’t have any bullshit in it, nobody will play it.”
Plus I remember you saying, and I quote, “I don’t play that piece of shit” back at my first EZ when I asked if you played MvC3 or not. And I’ve personally seen TBeast rage and rant over it while playing. But yet you guys still stayed and played the game, regardless if you liked it or not. All I’m saying is for people not to overlook KOF just because its not Capcom. If you enjoy MvC3 now, don’t let me stop you. Just give KOF a proper chance and not slide it under your foot without a second thought.
Like Phoenix Wright? How about Geese Howard? Well, enjoy this vid.

I agree with Blake on these issues. Okay I’m out.
BTW fighting games suck. Real Talk…
You’ll be a much happier person in life if you understand this.
If you feel like driving to Durham, the Gamestop at New Hope Commons is having a midnight release for WWE '12 and will have copies of KoF XIII too. IDK how many copies they have, so you might want to call ahead.
Thing is, I’ve said on multiple occasions that I like MvC3, it’s just a really stupid game. But now this is Ultimate, and while I’m sure it has a lot of really stupid stuff waiting to be found, I’m not discounting it automatically just because of Vanilla MvC3. Kinda like what you guys are doing.
I’m also really excited about KOF XIII. I just have a very strong feeling about what will probably happen with that game.
My whole point was, people are so hype about XIII, yet so quick to bash Ultimate. Ironically, this is exactly what Sofa King just accused people of doing with XIII, not giving it a chance because it doesn’t have Capcom’s stamp on it. Which is hilarious, considering I’m a GG player before anything. I’ve always played just about everything, and have a soft spot for SNK games due to growing up in an arcade where games like Samurai Shodown were serious business. That’s the stuff I grew up on, not Street Fighter.
The last couple of posts in particular are a really interesting exercise in confirmation bias. People are really quick to defend KOF XIII, a game many of them have played for all of a few hours, from the Capcom hordes that won’t give it a chance, yet in the same breath are bashing Ultimate MvC3, a game that literally just came out about a week ago. People making snap judgments on a game based on stuff they saw in a given day and approving of that attitude when it appeals to their current opinion.
A lot of this comes from experience, seeing the same thing happen in this community over and over again over the past few years. Part of the reason NC sucks competitively as a state is that people will not just sit down and play the games. Everyone arguing over what they want to play or not, what’s worth playing or not, splitting off into groups, ending up with tournaments where each game has eight entrants, bashing whatever they currently suck at and running to the newest game out (easy to do with so many new releases), and then we wonder why we go out of state and get bodied in everything.
Then the fact that the game everyone is hype about right now happens to be KOF just makes it even better, a series that is known for retarded long combos, poorly implemented subsystems, and questionable character balance in the vast majority of its iterations. The game coming out tomorrow, when it was in the arcade, was so crazy unbalanced from the character perspective that there was a damn RATIO SYSTEM made up by the players, to prevent people from just picking the best characters and going on a rape spree. And you think SNK, of all companies, managed to completely fix the game going from arcade to console? Sounds a lot like those Capcom apologists playing Ultimate that you guys seem to think are so stupid and hivemind-ish.
The grumpy old men tell you you’re wrong for more reasons than just the fact that they’re old and grumpy. And indirectly giving Jon ‘OG’ status is enough to make some of the really old men in the community roll in their figurative fighting game grave.
Always right, etc etc, I AM THE GREATEST![/SteveH]
GG WE DA BEST
- My stream will be up tonight
- KoF will be out tonight
- Players might come out tonight
- ???
- PROFIT!!!
Really, though, it depends on whether or not I feel like taking my bike out to Spring Lake’s Wally World to get a copy… which depends on whether Sal comes out to show me how to play the game. Shoutouts to ex-Japan arcade players… I can respect that.
I also run tournaments in Winston too to let you know. I’m waiting a bit to see when Skullgirls is going to be released to set a date on my next tournament.
Yep, I bet KOF will be down to around like 8-12 players in a few months easy. I never really understood all the scrubby game hate I know I get pissed when I’m playing the game and I put in this work for a combo then boom they press a few buttons and I instantly die. But logically going ughhh a game is too easy ughhh OHKO combos and what not isn’t the problem. It is the neutral game that makes a fighting game cool and interesting, it is the neutral game I like in KOF and Arcana for that matter. I actually sorta like it in Marvel too and people are playing the game at NC state again so I might actually get some practice and enter this time around.
so. not to be the bringer of bad news. but for people thinking KoF wouldnt have craziness in it. I already have a Kyo combo doing over 60% with ONE meter, no drive cancels.
Oh wait, KOF XIII might be broken? I’ll consider playing it then in between my busy schedule of band wagoning and sucking Capcom’s dick. But only if it’s broken, I’m not very good at games that are fair and balanced.
@Nameda, just send me a message to my phone, its acting crazy now. I’ll play anytime. Most likely gonna get my copy tomorrow or later this week.
Anybody lookin for me just send me a message to my phone or post in the thread this week.
STUFF about KOF 13 VS CAPCOM
lol, I mean no harm with my stuff its just funny. But in all seriousness, its all about preference. For me KOF1994 was the game that really got me into serious competitive gaming. I was in a few STF2 tourneys before it came out, but when 94 came out it blew my mind! SNK is that company to me, regardless of the games being broke, or ugly at times I never once felt like SNK wasn’t for the most part trying to make the best damn product they could at the time. Regrettably, Capcom doesn’t give me a warm and fuzzy in that department. Everybody is entitled to their opinions,I still love Capcom just not like I used to cz their games aren’t as good as they once were. SNKP is still advancing and experimenting with the genre of FGs. STF took a huge step backwards in terms of game play. UMVC3 is fun to play and I really enjoy the characters, since I’m a huge comic collector. But KOF13/BBCS2 are true 2D fighting games. As the song goes “There’s nothing like the real thing baby,There’s NOTHING like the real thing.”
All opinions expressed in this statement are mine and mine alone, and are in no part designed to lead any revolutions/uprisings/coups/or hostile take overs. This has been a PSA of the Better Games for a Better Tomorrow Conglomerate. The BGBTC.
I find it funny that you think SNK is “advancing and experimenting” when a large part of KOF XIII was throwing out the relatively radical changes they made in XII and bringing back a system that is basically a slight refinement of KOF 2k2’s Max Mode. And now look at the DLC they’re giving us. SNK is basically hand-packaging old cheese from the old games and selling it to us at 5 bucks a pop. Hilarious.
For more hilarity, consider all the bitching about UMvC3 and how soon it was released relative to Vanilla, but then look at BB series in general and how Arc has blatantly ripped off people repeatedly with that game. Now we’re getting yet ANOTHER refinement of CS2, that’s basically going to include one new character and some balance changes, and it’s not even DLC. It’s a friggin’ disc release. I’m dying over here.
lol, I see what you mean. Every company has its flaws. It just depends on what kind of flaws you can live with. I for one would rather have repackaged old gameplay elements as you say with true 2d hand drawn artwork, nb4(rotoscoping,cz I already know about that). Like I said these are my opinions, so whats funny about that? Yes i’m well aware of the things you stated about KOF 13’s return to some of 2k2’s mechanics, I played that game a lot. As slight a refinement as it may be its still an attempt to take what was good and make it better. Not hey I know lets SLOW the game WAY down(some might say to a boring level), and feed it to fan base that’s been waiting for a new game for 10 years. Sorry, NOPE, not buying it, there’s just no comparison homie,NEXT.
Start with one meter? Or only uses one meter, a lot of dudes can break 50% with 2 meter. EX juggle forever super, I think I figured out what I was doing wrong with Elizebeth and why I couldn’t do her full combo.
Perhaps more importantly can you do it off jab/midscreen knowing Kyo it is probably a yes, dude seems really solid.
Like I said earlier neutral game is what matters, plus you got 3 characters too XD and unlike marvel can’t set up a 50/50 on entrance. Not to mention damage isn’t everything didn’t mature have that infinite for a while and she still wasn’t top tier or even high at the time?
edit: I think I thought up some new Athena tech I gotta try out in the lab to bust out because air activation gives me some silly ideas.
yeah, XIII is anything but experimental.I don’t think BB has been a ripoff, because each iteration has improved the game quality.
I’m not worried about Kyo doing 60% with 1 bar yet, I think other chars will come close to that. 1 bar in KOF98 you could do close to half damage anyways with just a BnB.
…just wanna reiterate, I said “advancing and experimenting with the GENRE of FGs” …GENRE…
This is not limited by gameplay/combo system or the likes. I chose my words wisely to avoid the confusion…alas I failed.:rolleyes:
BBCS2 is a seperate conversation all together. Trust I have more than a few bones to pic with AKSW, I’ll save those for another day.
