The KOFXI Thread Version III-EVO World Team Tournament: Team Juarez v. Cali v. Japan!

I’m kinda the same way but since I’m teaching my little brother to play I won’t choose Kula. I think it’s better for my gameplay since I still choose Duo Lon as my Leader and have learned a few more characters. Right now it’s hard for me NOT to choose Duo Lon since I really like doing his combo. Hopefully my bro gets really good with Kula or enough for me to learn how to fight against her since my only comp doesn’t like choosing her.

Duo Lon (L) is addicting…hes good for intimidation as I tell people…and embarrassment.

I have a stick for now so im not to much worried, I will be back in dallas hopefully before Akon so I can get some more SNK training.

wow!

OMG this is great. A KOF XI thread that is alive! Damn the the orochinagi kof threads have been stagnant for such a long time.

I just hope that KOF XI would be available for kaillera or whatever soon. Although i own the game for ps2, there is just nobody here to play with in the Philippines. I am kinda sick of the tekken DR which is practically the only fighting game that is popular here; i would probably play Tekken 6 although it obviously is broken.

Long live KOF!
Viva la kof!
Mabuhay ang KOF!

(except the extremely crappy maximum impact series)

BTW i love capcom games too.

So it’s more like LONG LIVE CLASSIC 2D fighting!

Hey now, MIRA made a lot of improvements gameplay wise. The first one was shit though.:bluu:

Oi maximum impact regulation A is great.

Hey dude, don’t you find his simple combos damaging? i mean for example a counter hit E -> 6,23,6C -> Jump 2,23,6C is almost, well a little less in terms of damage, like doing an Oswald juggle ending into the ACE finisher. I almost think that he is kinda scrub friendly (specially when compared to Clark).

What do you think? Anyway kof XI ralph is more user friendly for me than past versions of ralph (kinda like KOF 98 where he was up in the tiers).

How so? Convince me dude. I am a fighting game fanatic. If it’s really great i will buy it just for the heck of it.

I got KOF 2006, honestly really found it corny when i found Mai’s low juggle: cB,B, sD, D, D, 236236D (near the wall). K’ seemed really powerful. The juggles of the characters felt very similar. Well this is not a Maximum impact thread, in short i appreciated KOF XI much more. I mean just look at the depth of the oswald combos; the variety of ways to link into the cheap damage of gato’s dream cancel combos (which i find challenging cuz i am a scrub); the line up seems fine to me considering the number of playable characters.

My only gripe about xi is that there is no Goro, no Hinako, no Chris, no Vice, and no Yashiro. Lols i need to get Ultimate Match…

There that’s it RIGHT there. KOF MI 2006. That game is trash compared to MIRA. And K’ seemed really powerful? In KOF XI K’ is really powerful. That’s bad? But of course. he should be like Gato and dominate over half the cast and crush the game down to 7-9 characters. I found it funny that you have a problem with K’ and yet you like Gato… MI 1 sucked, MI2 did better but had this stupid OTG combo problems. That was taken care of in MIRA. So don’t be stupid enough to judge KOF MI series if you played up toMI2. Play MIRA instead. I’m not gonna convince you how good MIRA is. Even if you had the game I doubt you’ll even take the time to get decent at it. You can do most of the combos in KOF in KOF MIRA anyway. And most of the juggle of the characters felt very similar? Might have something to with the fact that weight doesn’t really impact combos that much. I can PM the vids to show you the IMPROVEMENT MIRA has over 2006. Anyway back to KOF XI…

What are Clarks weaknesses? And don’t say “If he never gets near you he can’t throw you.” BS like that. I mean what to do what not to do. I do even hyperhop against this guy out of fear of being grabbed in the air.

Clarks weakneses are zoning…take a character lke Eiji…he can make it difficult for Clark…

Clakr has no fireballs etc…so a character that is good at zoning him can give him some problems… Gato has none either neither does Kula or Oswald…making this a tough matchup for all of them…

But Eiji does!!!

The only people I use that have (decent) projectiles is K’:sweat:

This Eiji seems rather powerful. I know I have a hard time against him. Makes it even worse since I know nothing about him.

Easy there partner no need to get angry over anything. Okay so MIRA “is” good based on the comments here. If i offended anybody about my Maximum impact comment please know that that was not my intention (LOLS hasty generalization…). Just did not appreciate MI1 and MI2, both of which were gifts that i received.

Think of my inquiry as to MIRA as if it were a question of “is it that good that i should buy it?”. Simple as that. Anyhow, dude just keep in mind that i was not lambasting MIRA. I was talking in terms of MI2. At least now i know that SNK’s 3d kof is getting better.

Concerning K’ being good in my opinion in MI2, i certainly was not saying that that was a bad thing. Mind you that I am not trying to bash K’, your KOF XI leader, in anyway. It is just that earlier i did not notice that K’ was one of your main characters as seen from your signature.

Well based on the tier list i saw on the SRK wiki, K’ is okay. Which is… Great! Lols!

Anyway, I was not implying that i favored Gato over K’. what i said was:

I was talking about the options of linking supers and dream cancels in KOF XI. The depth and variety was really enjoyable.

For example:

  1. Kim’s c.A, close st.C, 214A, 214A (into Gato’s) j.D, st.C, 236D dream cancel into 6236E(x3)

mixed up with

  1. Kim’s c.B, c.A, 214A, 214A (into Gato’s) j.D, st.C, 236D dream cancel into 6236E(x3)

Food for thought…

Hehehe of course i would try to get decent at it.

If there’s a link in youtube please do tell.

Anyway… Have a good day! LOLS!

Give me a few minutes. I’ll find the vids.

EDIT: I’m at the library atm. So I will have to send you the vids later. Slow connection.

Guys and if you could please take the MIRA discussion to the MIRA thread…if you could keep it about KOFXI here… Also that tier list posted is whack…

Well, that’s really always been the point of Ralf. He’s always meant to be one of the easiest characters to use, a hard-hitting poker/grappler and not a combo master.

Eiji is probably Clark’s worst match-up. I don’t fear Kula, Gato, or Oswald with Clark (or Ralf for that matter).

Good points! Clark can’t grab what he can’t hit!

Sorry dude. Checked out your vids. Now i want to use Duo Lon. I wonder you faired during the kof 2k3 days… ROFL…

How are tiers nowadays? I am still guessing that Oswald is definitely SS due to the Ace finisher ender.

What about Maxima? I am kinda confused with this guy since i saw some tier list in orochinagi putting him in a A or B.

Thanks dude.

Misterpoon welcome here man no prob man! :tup:

2k3 Duo Lon is just that much better!!! The tiers are going through change but here is what we agree…

Gato is the best character in the game… We got Vanessa as C Class also…and we dont separate Duck King based off being 2p or not…we’ve reviewed those tiers before…alot is right…but there is a bit thats sketchy.

Duo Lon is B Class also.

Fixed.

And I’m gonna go ahead and say, probably the funnest character in the game.

Oswald hasn’t gone anywhere, he’s still 3rd after Kula and Gato. Ace finisher hasn’t gotten any better, if anything it’s gotten slightly worse as people have figured out how to punish it on hit. I mean usually you’d do it to kill anyhow, so it doesn’t come up that often, but people have known about Ace combos for a long time so yeah.
