I can’t say since I only have a 360, but as good as it felt running online with these matches, You’ll notice a few times I threw out some counters “at the wrong time .”
Case in point, I love doing Leona’s jump in HP>Crouching HP> HP+HK cancel to B+F LK Slash. Sometimes she would “skip” the Crouching HP and go into her counter cuz I was holding down back to charge the slash.
My point is you have to time things a split second early otherwise unintended things still happen even at this connection.
Another example is when I’m trying to go for CC with her standing HP. Offline if the CC doesn’t activate I still have a split second to follow up with forward LK> :qcb:Punch. So I found I had to follow through no matter what, hence I let the opponent get breathing room.
And finally as far as her DM I got used to doing it online in corner combo cuz I practiced it like a madman offline. But one of her other options without a a DM would be HP+HK cancel > her Moonslash. For some reason I CANNOT get the timing for this online but CAN do it offline with no problem from a high or LOW Baltic Launcher.
I was able to do it ONCE before but haven’t since. . .
Hopefully the 360 patch will sync this better and allow a more enjoyable level of play . . . with more than one person in the room :nunchuck:
soo, in the end its not even sf4 good? sf4 is only playable with 4 or 5 star connections. 3 is managablle but you can forget about those last second dp’s ad shit like that. how would you compare the speed of xii 360 with sf4? is it at best 3 star sf4 speed? for a 2d game, it should be at least 4 start sf4 style, preferably 5.
Honestly, the best connection I can get with KOF XII on the east coast is about SFIV at 2 bar speed.
Meaning if your used to how your character moves you should be able to pull off most of your stuff by adjusting to the timing. And as bad as 2 bar is on SF I don’t mind playing friends but refuse those matches in championship mode.
This STILL is without the 360 patch I would add so I’m STILL optimistic . . .
BTW I thought SF only had 4 bars or am I wrong? It’s been a little while since I played.
Thanks a lot for the matches everyone. I’ve been wanting to find good matches because I’m going to purchase KOF XII soon. Does anyone know if the Raiden handcuff glitch has been fixed for the 360?
i watched some of those videos… i really like this game whatever ppl keep saying and nice trip to HK xD you (or who went there) should have tried the arcade in Yau Ma Tei!!
I had originally planned to go to as many arcades as possible, but due to lack of time (only ten days there) and being jetlagged to death i didn’t spend much time visiting different arcades.
The one that i went to though (GameZone, MongKok) is the one featured in Game3talk’s youtube channel, so there are alot of top players in HK who gather there. Plus they had all the KOFs i would’ve wanted to play (98UM, 02UM, 02, XII) all in one place.
yeah i know that arcade…but the one i loved the most back in January 09 was the one in Yau Ma Tei… so many cabs hosting KOF2k2!!! Back then there was no KOFxii/KOF2k2um so i dont know if they changed the cabs…but man it was impressive!! 1HK=1PLAY!! The other one i usually went was in Tin Shui Wai where i stayed,2HKD=1PLAY…a lot of competition there too (there was two linked cabs for kofmira…no one played that )!
God i miss HK
and nice trip to HK xD you (or who went there) should have tried the arcade in Yau Ma Tei!!
