So there is DLC for KOF already? Damn I need to turn on my system sometime soon 0_o
Sounds good about you guys commentating. Just let me know you want to do it when I register you.
Also have the other dates for Jan - March.
**Jan 14th, Feb 11th, and Mar ****17th **
I will of course have the formal SRK and FB page updated after ReSe Saturday.
See you guys soon. Can’t wait to see that KoF tech you guys been working on.
Also, about Iori, I don’t know if I am going to make him legal or not for ReSe. I will ask the question this Sat after everyone has had some time with him to see. Usually the rule about DLC, and it’s a new rule so it’s really not a standard, is that it not till 2 weeks after the release. That is enough time for people to see if he is broken or not. But again, I will ask everyone when I start it what the consensus is about allowing him**.**
God damn NC, KOF has been out for 2 weeks or something and people are already going QQ the scene is dead/dying…like really come on guys, wait till we have a tourney.
You’re asking too much from NC. It was already obvious people would pick it up, play it and then when they can’t mash out DP or constantly abuse a million invincibility frames that they’d go back to being shitty at SF4 and never amounting to anything while at the same time bitching about the game and saying it sucks and they want a new game.
Your NC Flow chart is new game comes out people play it, find out they suck and go back to SF4 while constantly complaining that it’s a bad game but entering every single tournament for it anyway and then repeat when a new game comes out.
So I finally got my 360 fixed just to have that new dashboard downloaded onto my system which in turn is now signing me out of XBL and not allowing me to connect. Also the other console that I was borrowing is now freezing right back up. Like seriously how many things can go wrong, outside forces don’t want me to practice.
Outside forces still at work to make me not practice (outside of training mode).
EDIT:
Why is my signature being changed by the site? It’s not over 4 lines or 1000 characters. I didn’t change the font or size for any of the text either. So obviously I’m in rules for everything but the damn site keeps saying that I’m breaking them. Then I look at other people’s signatures and cry (looks at Tactiks).
Demo, I MIGHT be down for riding with you to Charlotte. I won’t know until the moment of, though, so if someone else calls a spot in your car, give it to them unless you hear from me first.
It occurs to me that this post is somewhat pointless, but I wasn’t subscribed to the new thread before, and now I am.
If you have an extra spot let me know and I can see about taking it. If not then would it be cool if I ride with you to EZ on the 17th? There should be some good KOF competition there so for the most part I’d like to get out there.
Where were you Monday bro?! Would of been really cool to have you out there last night. Maybe we all can try and get something going Friday if that day works out for all of us. Plus Jon is hosting Thursday so if you could make it out there that would be cool as well.
List of the current top fighters out now:
Blazblue
Tekken 6
KOF XIII
SFIV
MvC3
Arcana Heart 3
MK9
If you can’t pick from any of these then you’re just complaining for the sake of complaining. But it would be nice if the state could agree on at least one as a whole.
EDIT: I just read Matt’s post. See everybody at EZ then.
EDIT2: I just read Matt’s post again and then Jon’s post.
Was talking with someone about MK9 Saturday. The one thing that hyped it was also the thing that killed it. The constant online updates. It was nice they were trying to get feedback, but they were basically getting people to beta test their “finished” game. Why bother practicing what may be completely irrelevant the next week.
Plus, who here plays in the RDU area? Gamefrog is having a tournament Saturday if you’re looking for something close by and not as expensive as going to ReSe.
Good shit for already complaining about KOF and there hasn’t been a real tournament yet.
Also, learning any game requires travel to a pretty big extent. Wolfkrone is the only player I can think of off of the top of my head that kind of arrived via internet (or maybe he was around before, I could be wrong). But even he didn’t get to be a huge problem to the other top players til he started going to a bunch of majors. There may be others, but it’s not exactly common. Online warriors pretty much never amount to much of anything outside of a pain in the ass.
Anyway, short post from me. No bitching here about games, only gamers. I’m gonna play KOF, and UMvC3, and probably some AE. I’ve seen what it takes to be good now, and complaining is pretty much the exact opposite of that. You guys do what you want, I don’t give a fuck.
Re: Flames Iori legality: DLC characters have been legal in almost every fighting game once proven not broken as of late. Just because you’re too lazy to get them on your own personal system doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be legal. Now if the system doesn’t have them then tough shit for the people that play them but I feel like they should still be legal for those that play those characters when they are available. Just know that if you choose to play them, you might not always have the option to if no one has them.
SHuma and Jill are legal, and not broken. All of the MK9 DLC characters are now legal, and not broken. BB’s DLC characters are legal, and not broken.
As far as the character’s options go…
VERY slow command grab that he can combo off of. Takuma has one, which is also probably faster / has an easier input / leads to more damage. Robert has one that’s 1 frame and invincible (EX) and I believe there may be others?
Regular Iori’s normals pretty much exactly the same… forward LP LP is actually worse though since it whiffs in combos.
Kyo’s DP that he can’t flaming bitch smack confirm into more combos like Kyo.
2 non invincible supers, even when EXed.
Pretty average damage with meter, nothing broken.
Rekkas… good for hit confirm into knock down. They look unsafe. Plenty of other characters have this in the game.
Really slow running blockable grab.
So yeah… solid character but he doesn’t seem broken in the slightest. I remember when Saiki first came out and everyone was all FUCK BAN HIM HE HAS TELEPORTS AND A BOSS SUPER and now everyone’s like ehh that character seems weak.
Finally… STOP BEING BITCHES AND PLAY THE GOD DAMN GAME. NOTHING IS DYING. ARSTAL IS JUST BEING ARSTAL. KOF13 IS A GOOD GAME AND WILL BE PLAYED BY MANY IN NC.
I never said I thought the characters would be broken.
I also never said the REAL reason they shouldn’t be allowed is because I’m not paying for them (that was a joke…about the legality, at least. I’m still not paying money for a character that I don’t like and I’m not interested in playing).
I said the real reason they shouldn’t be allowed is because it’s a logistical nightmare for tournament organizers. Especially since the 3 DLC characters aren’t even being released at the same time.
It’s also stupid because Kyo, Iori, and Takuma are already in the game.
The Blazblue DLC characters are at least completely unique, and add depth to the game.
Charging $15 for tweaked versions of pre-existing characters is dumb. It would be like having to pay $15 to download Orochi Chris, Orochi Yashiro, and Orochi Shermie in KOF 14 (although they all at least play significantly differently than their regular versions). Get outta here that nonsense.
I understand some peoples frustrations with DLC, but I hope that TO can handle the pressures of KOF 13. I’m off the thread for 1 day and people are already ready to announce KOF DOA. This makes me sad. This community is really strange to me. I understand that STF is where the heart is,but sometime change can be healthy. If a game is challenging to learn or grasp, that’s a sign of depth and should be embraced. I’m not hear to preach or sing the praises of KOF. I just feel strange that some people get mad at themselves cz they arnt winning fast or can’t do fancy trail mode combos in the first few tries.
.
Find some friends who like said game and PLAY.Gettin blown up is no fun, but not even trying is even worse.(._."). Capcom made winning so easy in their new games that now gamers don’t wanna work for that victory like they used too. It’s like they made hardcore gamers into casual players by default. Get out of trails and trainning mode and get some real practice with other players. Online is cool too,but nothing beats real head to head comp in real time. It’s the whole reason why we are here to begin with… isn’t it? I’m not starting a revolution, just speaking my mind that’s all.
I feel this way too. “Don’t worry you shitty player, you’re getting your ass kicked but we’re gonna give you this move that does a shitload of damage and has ridiculous invincibility just so you might be able to catch up and even the playing field”. KoF is like “Oh you’re getting your ass kicked… what a shame…”. I mean keep in mind Blazblue is pretty merciless when it comes to not having comeback mechanics too. Bursting is something I don’t really consider to be a full on come back mechanic and back in CT it even PENALIZED you for doing it.
But I mean forget playing games that take any amount of skill, lemme just quit all this stuff and go back to pretending I make money on SSF4 continually entering tournament because i’m from NC! Yea!
