Don’t mash with all the buttons it doesn’t seem like you need to mash much to get full damage.

Had a good time playing games with everyone at Jon’s. I’m really liking KOF… Soundtrack is amazing, animation amazing, game is amazing. Already got my team (or at least I’m about 90% sure it is…). Daimon, Mai, and Kula. :tup:

Glad you picked up KOF Blake. :slight_smile:

Hello everyone was trying to find out anything about a fayetteville scene, just recently got into fighting games and the town i live in lumberton is pretty dry on people to play. I mainly play AE right now since cs2 ruined tager in my humble opinion, but i also have copies of pretty much all recent fg releases (kof,mahvel, etc…)as well as some rare games like melty blood actress again import for ps2 , garou mark of wolves, etc… if its ps2 i have it bootlegged. Just looking for a chill grp to play with I have transportation of my own, so not a issue. Hoping to finally get put on blast in person lol

Fighting game players other than me live in lumberton?? What kind of black magic. . . hit me up dude!

Already have illuminati KOF gatherings? Damn Jon. Damn…

haha it just sort of happened after the gamefrog thing didn’t go down, didn’t have time to announce it. Sorry about th-

Hail our illuminati overlords.

Come on out to Elite Zone in Fayetteville, Friday nights. Great venue and we play just about all the games you want.AE/KOF/BBCS2/AH3/MBAA/GGXXAC. REally interested in what PS2 imports you have, I’m big into them as well. Check out the first page for gathering info, and welcome.:smiley:

Just got back from a secret KOF 13 level up of our own,lol. At EZ, me, Nathan, and a new old school KOF player named Nick. Lots of fun. Tried out some Kyo shit as well as Clark, Athena, Hwa Jai, plus more. Over all it’s a great installment into the series and a definitive version of the game as well. No Sal-T Thursday cz of the holiday this week. But see yall Friday bright and early for some KOF action at EZ. DAT Krack of Fighters!!!:wink:

The thing is, this stuff doesn’t really matter that much. I can dash in with s.L-s.M string and if they push on the second hit, Stinger will still connect. But if you get pushed out on a pushblock, you can just call an assist and Air Trick back in, or you can Bold Move into an airdash or Air Play. Dante has plenty of options besides just always doing Stinger. The thing is that he’s much better with an assist than without, if you want to do more pressure. That’s an aspect of his gameplay you never really got to explore because you ran him as your anchor almost exclusively. As well as it worked out for your team, anchor is still his weakest position on a team, even in Vanilla.

Normals being smaller isn’t that big of a deal, they’re only slightly smaller and he still dominates at midrange against most characters.

Too easy.

I’m really torn on who I want to play in Ultimate. I have like 13 teams

Joe/Dante/Dormamu
Spider-Man/Frank/Wesker
Frank/Wesker/Taskmaster
Nemesis/Spencer/Doom
Wright/Doom/Wesker

ugggghhhhh my brain

also I’d be down for some near Raleigh area games today

My team in Marvel is Storm/Dante/Wesker.

Got to see some of that new KOF game at Jimmy’s last night and it looks very pretty haha. I’m going to pick up my copy today, look forward to playing people in the near future.

[media=youtube]jUaAuAbroRk[/media] Saisyu Kusanagi (Kyo/?/?) vs Seventh Fonon (Daimon/Mai/Kula)

[media=youtube]GpWHfKfN3W4[/media] MuayThai (Kensou/Hwa/K’) vs Jon (K’/Iori/Takuma)

Day 1 stuff

wtf it auto links to youtube now?

im free today if any gaming is going down

Strange/Doom/Sentinel.

Yo Rob stop blocking so much this is KOF not SF, also press C+D to spend 1 meter and smack em off you. I might be interested in games today as well.

games games games

No one cares about your Marvel team, James.

Actually if they push block LM from the range you want to use those moves at, stinger will whiff. Also I think it’s at a range where bold move / air dash won’t put you in a good spot. It’s like they made pushblock affect him more or something. I didn’t think the nerfs to his normals were that big of a deal till I got into a real match vs people, and maybe it’s just my playstyle with him but I really notice it. You’re probably right though, he could get by without an assist before but he probably needs one to be his most effective now since bulldog melee dante isn’t that great now.

Also lol at those KOF matches… I can look back at those one day and laugh at how bad we were.

uraix for picking up the slack last night. Gamefrog is hoing through some

Thanks to XSamuraiX for picking up the slack last night. Gamefrog is going threw some problem changes with the mall and I will have to tweak the time of events to adjust for the new operational hours rules. KOF was good last night. Hope I gave out enough beginning engine information so that people have a easier time getting starter with KOF and not get hung up on not knowning simple mix up option rules and engine do and don’ts.

“Oooh. Guns, guns, guns. C’mon, Sal. The Tigers are playing…tonight. I never miss a game.”

4-day weekend, Pana plasma and a case of HL, I’m good to go. Get my King/Beni/Leona on!
