I like the concept of AG, it reminds me of the option selects in GG, which were strong but had very viable counters. All you really have to do to stop someone from AGing is to run up and hit cr.B. With some characters, that leads to more damage anyway. I like it because it adds another dimension to the mixup.
Banning DLC characters, whatever. Still gonna play them. You guys can catch up later.
Clark is a beast. Ralf is godlike. Gonna check them both out myself.
Vice and Flame Iori on the same team? Just put Takuma as first. Takuma/Vice/F.Iori
Blake is right. 15 all.
Shaddy brackets?! Not cool in any state.
Mai’s English sounds like…English. “That’s great” I guess. 
Whiffing moves to build meter is pointless in KOF. Just get the combo and you’re good.
I made another funny, HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Online and being complete trash at it are horrible reasons to quit. You can get always better and online is more of a practice tool.
Yup, yup…
ummmmmm no. I played 98 to death. got the home carts to prove it. that’s definitely not the same Kensou. how can it be when everything about the character changed? appearance, moves, animations, fighting style…all new. yeah he kept his fireball and dp but that “he’s had that tech since 98” comes off totally stupid.
Sat down and got some Kensou HD combos and found out he can chain B>C and it gives enough frames to combo off of. You can do stupid shit like:
cr.B st.B st.C st.B st.C HD Activate st.B st.C st.B st.C Rekkas yadda yadda. Looks retarded.
You sure you didn’t mean “pay to make sure it remains locked”?
Was this in past games? Because in this one it has no invincibility it seems. Rather just go for cr.C or st.D since both are just as good AA and require a lot less commitment IMO.
Takuma firssssst… whyyyyyyyy?
I thought the DLC ban was for MK9 because those new chars really were broken on release? Or a lot of them anyway.
Because Takuma is a beast without meter, which is what you’ll want going first. Vice can do some interesting things with meter and F. Iori can pretty much destroy with meter. Vice and F.Iori need it more. So having a character who can build meter and hold there own without it is really important stuff to have.
I have to say thanks for entering MK. I didn’t want to either but I am in denial that MK is dying. I haven’t touched that game in so long, probably as long as you two I don’t think it will be at the next one but we will have to see who wants to play.
As far as the brackets go I am sorry about that. I have been seeding by location because I have been getting to know people and where they are from and it kept people from playing each other. I am working on somethings right now that will completely dissolve that problem. Hopefully I will have it implemented by Jan tourney but we will see. If not then I will make sure to check it better. I do apologize about that. I will do everything in my power to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I will see about having another monitor setup in front of me so that everyone can check out the bracket before I post it. I think that will help out a lot.
Thanks for the feedback. I need it. If you guys don’t speak up then I will think everything is ok. Don’t worry I have thick skin, you are not going to hurt my feelings :china:
Anybody trying to Play some XIII this Evening? I need more offline Practice. Oh yeah, & is anyone from the RDU area going to the EZ Monthly this Saturday d@ I can Ride wit or Follow?
I would be down to drive. Yeah lets get something going tonight.
Depending on the character, I’d actually rather get grabbed by a command grab than be hit by a low, so no, you’re wrong. But nice try.
Sofa: Takuma is actually a lot better with full HD than without. He only needs 1 bar in HD mode to deal 90% damage to anybody. He also has more reliable defensive measures available to him when he has meter. That’s why you consistently see him placed either second or third on a team, he’s much more effective there. Given that choice of characters, I’d actually put Flame Iori first, he’s the most effective out of the three without meter.

FOR THE COMMUNITY!
just give me the addy where the KoF will be via text/phone call and a time. I should be there.
I’m off today, going in to register for classes, dunno how long that’ll take. I’m free afterwards, so just lemme know if and when people are gaming. 919-357-0734, text or call.
Also, for BB heads, I’m probably gonna get the JP version of Extend, since the domestic release won’t be here until the Vita is released. I know I’m rarely around, so it may not mean much to you guys, but I’m going to try to be more active in 2012, schedule permitting.
I assume the Xbox version is still region locked?
Only way to know is for someone to buy it and try it out on a domestic 360. Makes me happy I have a PS3.
So considering that we will have atleast 3 systems, assuming nobody else decides to buy Iori and bring their systems are we still banning him at EZ so that way we can be left behind matchups wise while California and other areas in the USA say “ALL DLC IS ALLOWED” (until proven ban worthy).
Ow didn’t know y’all were having a debate on this topic. Personally I don’t give a damn, I’ll just leave it up to a majority vote. I don’t have a problem with DLC characters since we allow them for UMvC3, BBCS2 and MK.
Also I decided to just buy a copy of UMvC3 for the PS3 (fuck my 360), so if you want matches just add me on PSN at NCBboy
He’ll be legal at the next tourney or I’m not going to bother. Kyo should be also since it will be over two weeks (I’m ok with the two week thing)
BTW DLC Kyo comes out on the 20th. I’m not buying any DLC until I see how much the netcode patch improves- I want to not reward SNK if they don’t put a good effort in on that, and it’s not like I’ll use any DLC chars.
BTW on DP’s in KOF, they’re pretty much used exclusively for combos and knocking folks out of the air, not for busting moves up, so invincibility isn’t as important. Kensou’s DP has always been one of the best ones in KOF though. DP’s seem more important in this KOF due to nerfed jabs though.
