The only reason you ever needed to learn Oz is that he is a pimp.
Ozwald would have been cooler if he looked like Chris Tucker; add to that his John Reno-esque glasses. Hahahaha… As a guy with white hair, he looks like a a pimp butler coming directly from Citizen Kane’s mansion.
is that the inf we are talking about here??
If so, its not to good of a inf if people are escaping it lol
so what is the reason that the wack ass oz infinite gets broken like that by those charecters
Yea, I know his infinite is banned but since there never is any tourneys here, I wouldn’t mind learning it. I was kinda curious about the tourney restrictions though, thanks. I always thought that you couldn’t kill the character with it but could just spam it and have the last hit outside the infinite 
And for the other guy who posted the youtube vid. NO, it’s not that one since it’s technically just resets and could get out of it, although, I’m gonna practice that one a little since I never thought about the unblockable.
This is the one I’m talking about
It’s fairly beastly and you can’t get out of it once you’re off the ground.
Oh! never seen that one lol
that is just the unblockable reset, pretty much you attack to get out, blocking gets your killed in that situation. which also reminds me his df.A is banned of usage when the opponents char comes in after 1 dies because its unblockable and a auto set up for Ace if its in the corner and possible infinite i believe.
Is there any particular reason why people are banning all of these strats??
I could see the inf, especially since it seems like all the other characters with infs are banned even (just ex kyo i believe), but the unblockables also banned? why??
I think it’s because Oz’s doesn’t require anything. Clark can land a DM(LDM??) on an incoming opponent but that takes meter. Oz’s doesn’t. And there is no way to defend against it and if it fails Oz loses nothing.
Hmmmmm. I can see that as being a problem but, w/o it being left in play, how could anyone think of a counter strategy(if possible)?? Again, im all for banning things that are going to dumb down the game play (infs) but, unblockables, I dont know. Look at Urien(sorry for the 3s example) alot of his good game play has something to do with his unblockable and people have left it in play for 3s. I understand that 3s is different from kofxi but, it was the best example I could think of lol
Well, in 3rd strike they have the parry system so Urien’s stuff is unblockable but not unparryable. In KOFXI, you don’t have any option for Oz since it’s unblockable and means you can’t do anything; if you’re second guy was taken down and you’re other guy has half bar or something you’re gonna lose.
As an example: Say your 1st character is killed and Oswald goes for the unblockable set up which turns into the infinite. your 2nd character is killed cause inifintes aren’t banned, your 3rd character comes in, Oswald repeats process and hits you with the unblockable into the inifinite. you just lost the game 30 seconds ago and didn’t even realize it. that is not fun. since infinites are banned, if the unblockable wasn’t banned every character that comes in that gets hit by it ends up eating a Ace that probably takes away half your health or more before you even get a chance to play, quite and unfair advantage.
QS combo’s are quite broken already IMO, you start a combo that leads to a stun/DM/LDM. QS combos can lead to 90%/dead character combo, but theres SS, but if you don’t have the skill stocks to bail then GG your down a whole character most likely.
I haven’t tested it… but you can get out of most of the come in unblockables I think. It’s hard though… Reversal backwards roll will work against oswald’s but the timing is really hard. As will timing an invincible super correctly… Grab supers I’ve seen backwards roll work, but I don’t know for sure whether the grab was miss timed or not, I’m guessing it was, you could try coming in and immediately doing an unthrowable move.
Also don’t forget K’s unblockable… he may even have two… the one practical one is rollable sadly.
I just got this and NGBC from Amazon. This game is amazing. I remember playing KOF on the Dreamcast, but this game is much better IMHO. I’m currently doing Challenge Mode and just finished #10. So I’ve been using Robert Garcia extensively. I’d like to thank everyonw who has been contributing to this thread and the NGBC thread. The tips and videos have helped ALOT.
I’m a noob/scrub, so I’m still learning the technical aspects of this game, such as cancels, QSing, and extensive combos. So far I’ve found a DreamCancel with Robert: qcfhcb + C -> (hcf x 2) + E. It’s usually good for 13-16 hits. Also, has anyone figured out and good combos for Robert starting with b.A (backfist into a popup)? I can land a few 2 or 3 hit combos, but I’m sure there has to be better.
I wouldn’t go nuts into learning him since he’s banned from tourney’s. but casuals are always a great place to shine. :lovin:
I tryed him out for a few hours couple months back, couldn’t find any good combos that do significant dmg that was easy to land and not “wall only”
I didn’t feel like playing but I felt like recording some on 2-6-08:
Yeah, I think the next character I may start using is Eiji. I practiced with him a few times, and he seems pretty solid.

Hey guys any new TOURNEY vids of KOF XI?
Anything new from Japan, Singapore, or China?
The most annoying thing about those Jap or Chinese videos is that you can’t read the titles. It’s really hard to find stuff on youtube and understand the details.
- +++++++++++++ Something to hope for… +++++++++++++++ *
I really wish that there was a KOF game featured in EVO. It would really give the game more hype.
Even better is if future KOF games would really kick ass online, maybe CGS will notice…
++++++++++++ FIN +++++++++++++++
there was a KSK ranbat a month or so back, but that might not be new to you
I only saw 1 min of the 1st vid and didn’t bother with the rest since I’m really tired, all I have to say without even watching the rest like I have said before in my other 2 reviews of your vids. even though you weren’t playing learn to HH, it’s like learning how to block, you (your friends also) NEED it. Mainly towards your friends but you as well if you haven’t yet.
HH >>> any other jump
