Wesker-B/Dormammu-A/Dr.Doom-A

Currently trying to replace Wesker.

KOF13 at EZ small gathering tonight. Sorry couldn’t do more for the release,maybe Friday.

UMVC team, Nova/Maggy/Hawkeye

KOF13 team, Kyokugenryu: Takuma,Yuri, Ryo

OH NOES after 20 years of Capcom fans non-stop shitting all over SNK, some KOF players are trying to get people interested in their game!
I heard somebody might have even talked smack about Marvel! What shall we doooo?

I’m going to be as nice as my limited patience can muster:
If you are unable to even read up on the basic console changes for KOF 13 before posting, then please stop posting about KOF 13.

UMvC3: Strider/Virgil/Strange
KOF: Elizabeth/Athena/Kula

I got like 450+ will all of them now for 1 meter no neo in the corner/near corner they also builds 1 meter.

I’ve actually changed my mind from EZ. I still play MvC3 and am enjoying right now. I am playing Ghost Rider (hell fire)/Dorm (Purification)/Taskmaster(horizontal shot).

Raiden- they nerfed his broken move so no one cries about him anymore. He’s still good, just not stupid.
K’ was the other broken char- they just toned his BS down enough to keep him upper-mid.

I’ll probably tone down my KOF play once SC comes out, depending on how that turns out. KOF deserves its time though, it’s a good game.

Right now I’m undecided whether I like XIII or Arcana more though.

Are you kidding me? Lets try to quote the whole statement and not selectively choose a byte to respond to. I said I dislike the KoF players trying to sway everyone to play KoF like it doesnt have its own share of BS. If its a good game its a good game, but dont sell it as some game that has no flaws and that Marvel is the only unbalanced fighting game with flaws. You completely twisted my words then argued that point completely ignoring what I was really saying, which is pretty um…high school newspaper-ish. Never did I say “I dislike the KoF players trying to sway eveyone to play KoF.”

Secondly, I never posted anything about KoF’s system for you to be correcting me. When I said I had little interest in the game, the natural assumption that could be made is I’m the least likely person to read about console changes so that I can learn about a game I wasnt planning on playing seriously. Or that I wasnt entitled to talk about a games hype because I dont know the system mechanics.

I wont really bother with that Capcom fanboy part. I’m a Soul Calibur player. Back to the gatherings almost 8 years ago at Ceron’s house, Jon’s house, Bubbachuck’s house, Hanes Mall Arcade etc etc. A lame community. A game SRK doesnt care about. A game on a questionable downward slope…so dont try to tell me about a game that gets shitted on. Marvel vs KoF is just something I’m discussing, I dont have a dog in either fight to be honest so I dunno why you’re making it seem like I have some vendetta against the later. Dont take it so personal.

Fact is, whatever game it is you enjoy playing Sofa King will still beat you in it. Wait, did I just speak in the third person? Stupid too much Gears of War.

Don’t ever joke about Tekken in a negative way. Ever. Now back to your corner.

Strider/Dante/Vergil, not in that order.

What’s wrong with Dante now? I know hammer has less invincibility now (invincibility is closer to the end of it), he seems a bit slow, and some of his combos are harder to pull off now. But can’t he still TOD or would you need a good battery and/or assist to help out?

You too?! I really like AH3 and the combos I can pull off in it if I manage, but KOF is so much fun as well. If only Kage Bushin no Jutsu was real. :frowning:

Shout outs to Smokin Jo and ShinsoBEAM who play both MvC3 and KOF.

@Rob: Almost forgot, but I need to get that taunt cancel down. KOF is out now, but I need to get back to my Tekken. If I manage to pull it off in the middle of a match don’t freak out if I just quit mid match after I finish the combo. If I drop the combo I’ll just feel unworthy.

All fighting games have bullshit. All fighting game players know this. You want to play at a high level? Deal with it.

NC is ass because you whiny, scrubby, vaginal motherfuckers don’t want to.

Dang Frank, why you so mad? Why you so Tank Frank? Why you so? Why you? Why? W? ?

For a second there I looked at that Geese AV and thought that Lu was back…

Predictable.

It’s Sal
Was good NC FG Community? At EZ on that KOF13 crack!!! This thread is interesting again. To be honest it was gettin pretty boring before.:rolleyes: Never saw a state so divided about everything…oh well. Anyway, yall be easy.:sweat:

This shit is still boss.

Tekken Hybrid > You.

OOOH MAI GAWDD Tekken Hybrid IS out isnt it? SHIT!

Dante can’t really TOD on his own anymore due to HSD changes and the fact that he doesn’t build bar as well as he used to. So you need a good DHC to get TODs going again. Which doesn’t really bug me, as he’s doing about 700k, meter positive combos right now. Pretty good stuff.

The interesting thing about him is that there are new combos that were either incredibly difficult or impossible to do in Vanilla, thanks to the input change on his specials. You can execute Beehive by itself in 8 frames, which means you can reliably hit Beehive after a Sky Dance in the corner, provided the last hit of Sky Dance connects and you have enough height. In a corner combo, Dante can do a triple ground bounce by himself. Pretty neat. But the damage in comparison to Vanilla for so much work is pitiful. I think that’s part of what is killing my hype for him. I like fancy stuff, but I also like to be rewarded for doing it.

I also REALLY hate having to mash hypers for max damage. With Dante at least, I regularly get X Factor activations when trying to mash Million Dollars. But if you don’t mash that hyper, the damage is pretty ass at the end of a combo. That’s basically free damage you’re giving away.

So these drugs that you take, do you sell as well?

Classy mash = tap L with with left hand index finger and M & H with right hand index and middle finger. Maximum damage and maximum sophistication.

Doom is the weakest link on my team and it bums me out because he’s so ridiculously good. His midscreen combos are so inconsistent so they are living to see another day 2 and 3 times after I get a clean hit. I need to work on that.

My Trish is still cheap as hell and XFlvl2 Strider + orbs is pretty much a matter of time before you block wrong and you’re dead.

Man this thread blew up while I was gone. You guys worry too much. Complain, discuss, bitch whatever, but still play! It’s what I do. Makes for an entertaining thread atleast.

Had an impromptu KOF13 session at my house that was somehow as big / bigger than my normal sessions. Here’s my thoughts:

Game is too fast paced and hyper hop is gay. Everything leads into like 90% because the HD cancel combos or whatever are so easy, most of the characters are terrible, the music sucks and I don’t know why I was hype in the first pla-

PSYCHE. This games fucking hot.

Looking forward to this new era of fighting games. KOF13 and UMVC are gonna be my main focuses. Don’t expect much else at my gatherings unless you bring tekken or arcana or something.

As for the what team do you play thing… right now it’s:

Zero / Dormmamu / X (X being either firebrand, dante, or strider)
KoF… I have no idea yet. I liked Andy till I played more tonight, don’t really like not having a command grab. Might change my opinion once I get better at breaking guard. Also DuoLon feels kinda bad, gimmicky, no damage, not a lot of options in close.

To add to this stuff, his normals push out a lot more now, if you do a string and it gets push blocked, stinger will whiff, it used to be that before you could do whatever and even if you got pushed you could stinger > bold cancel and stay in on that ass, now you have to cut your strings really short to stay in, so it makes hit confirming harder. His normals also have smaller hitboxes, and st.H won’t even combo off st.M half the time as anti air. I really just dislike everything they did with him overall, I’d happily give up easier Dante if it meant I had to work harder but had a better character. I still might play him just for his assist though but it’s really disheartening using him, he’s just not at all what he used to be and I can’t figure out anything at all they gave him to make up for what he lost.

I like how Strider plays, I don’t like his damage. It’s really hard to get a clean hit and convert it into his full combos for me. Firebrand is awesome on point but his assists just don’t fill the hole that Dante’s did. Hell, half the reason I don’t enjoy UMVC3 as much is either not having Jam Session or if I do have it, having to use Dante the weakest link on my team.
