SoCal SNK: KoF XIII @ SoCal Regionals this weekend! Free Tournament!

Update: About the gathering at my place, it is gonna have to wait til the following month due to some people who will be staying at my pad for the remainder of this month. So until they leave, I won’t be able to have any sessions anytime soon. :tdown:

That is fine just post up ahead of time when you can host a gathering for sure. I’ll be sure to make it down along with Giby.

That works for me. As long as it goes down on a weekend that isnt this weekend or next weekend, I can make it.

Any weekend is fine with me.

The “US” layout is
A C E
B D
which rather reminds me of certain Capcom games :wasted:

and the “Japanese” layout is
B C D
A E
which reminds me of the classic NG arcade layout, but with an extra E snuck in.

This distinction becomes apparent from relevant panel art. UCLA has the US-localized KOF XI, and the panel art (all in English) illustrates the “US” layout mentioned above. I haven’t seen a Japanese KOF XI panel art, but the SST panel art at AI shows the “Japanese” layout mentioned above (which is consistent with their KOF XI buttons).

It’s rather painful to keep switching between the two; the only constant is SP :xeye: The style I’ve adopted is to use fingertips for US and “underknuckles”/fat-finger for JP – that way I can tell which layout I’m using by feel and minimize screwing up tag combos.

That said, I miss kicking ass with Rimururu :sad:

Well, I’ll be heading to AI in a couple of hours.

If you see a fat black guy in shorts, and when I’m not on XI I’m on Marvel, MBAC, GGAC, CvS2, 3s, or one of the KOF’s.

If I’m not playing any1, go ahead and ask me for a match in any KOF, cause chances are I’m only playing cause I’m bored, and my token is in there.

GG’s to any1 I played yesterday at AI.

I actually learned the damn layout, so any1 I played prolly saw 86% of my full XI power.

Nobody challenged me in 2k2:sad:
Was every1 scared or something, cause I did beat the whole game without using my last char.
Kim/Iori(or Chris)/Kula, what’s so scary about that?
Seriously, like 6 ppl watched me play, then walked away.

Nobody challenged me in SVC Chaos:sad:
I was the guy kickin ass with the pink Akuma:lovin:

so the layout was jacked up, right?

I was rocking some kof rebout today…dunno how they did it but they made 94 fun to play

It’s always been like that
BCD
AE

Hella confusing:confused:

I really don’t like any KOF’s under 2000.
Mainly because there is no Kula.

The only reason I play 98 is because of Chris, and it is Saisyu’s last KOF (unless you play NW)

Most of the good players go on friday now since ggxx ranbats are going on every other fridaylike this friday so best bet is to go then, thats usually when people are playing 2002 and svc chaos and XI.

i’d like to run a SST ranbat at AI… anyone interested?

If it wasn’t so far, and I was driving and had a job, I’de go more often.

I don’t play SST, but highly interested.

well if not a ranbat… then some sort of get together to learn the system… both WickedElement and I have a very good understanding of the system… the spirit system and the battle mechanics in general…

I might go but I’d rather it be a console ranbat/gatheriong instead as well. I can adjust to the controls there so it isn’t a problem but it is pretty far for me.

ok so far i have two takers anyone else interested?

Noc if thats the case then we can hold this at Wicked’s pad when the time is right

SST get together? im down:tup:

I own the game, and would like to become better at it. Although noone out in the SCV plays it…yet…

i agree with Noc, make it a console ranbat/tourny/workshop instead. AI is quite for from me as well.

ok so far the consensus is we hold a console get together… when wicked has his place available then we can hold it there… throw in some Garou cause id like to get better at that… KOF anything for the fiends… and SST to power up SoCal

where does wicked reside?

edit: nevermind…

Aye Torn Apart, you aight man?

I just heard a fire hit Stevenson Ranch?

Yea it did today. Luckily the wind was taking the fire west, away from my house. But tonight the wind was going in my direction:confused: But well see what happens. Thanks for the concern.
