i know that the forward ranbu motion LDM the one where his sister comes out makes him invincible for quite a while at the start… because he can do his LDM …after the flash of Kula’s LDM and he wins…! he just freaken goes through it… i don’t know what the rear ranbu motion does… it doesn’t seem to beat anything…
I actually posted about this a while back. The motion where Rose comes out grants him invincibility, but he can’t use that version of it again until she leaves the screen. The one where Rose doesn’t walk on screen doesn’t have the invincibility but can be used again right after the first one if you want. Also, if you do the rose version, you can do the no-invincibility version before she leaves the screen, as well.
thx to both of ya ^^
i usually use the one with her sister XD
actually regarding this, i’m not too sure. sure adel will go through diana, but you have to remember that his LDM isn’t a command grab. so wouldn’t kula just be able to hold back and block after her invincibility ends?
His LDM is a command grab, just not an unblockable one.
Blockable command grabs do exist in KOF.
Kula can’t block during the recovery of her LDM, although she has a ridiculous amount of invincibility during most of it.

So I figured out a few things:
- After a hard KD move with Silber that ends with the opponent in the corner, he can end with charge d,u+K or qcfX2+K for a garanteed otg. The latter sufferes severe damage scaling on anything other than jump-in HP tho, so not much point in spending the meter (they do about the same).
- Athena’s LDM isn’t fully invincible. At the end, I took a risk and traded with it using Silber qcfX2+K; seems she vulnerable in the middle or at least when she’s flying up to attack. The wings and the flying down phase seem to be fully invincible and I believe unblockable (?)
That’s pretty much been known for a while, but good shit on the ending to the match.
Hey Does anyone know how to DC Duck’s deadly rave super? It says DC above super in the command list. I just can’t do it though. Maybe it’s an error.
I’ve been trying that for a while now. It is most definitely an error.
You should be able to DC the Deadly Rave during the DP+E finish, right? You have to be in the air to DC since Duck’s LDM is air only.
Then again, I don’t play Duck in XI (even though he’s in my av…) so I’m not sure.
So has everyone converted to arrange or is it just Tech and the GA people?
And is it me or is KOFXI slower on arrange?
I haven’t “converted” to anything. I’m just trying it out since it seemed no-one had really given it a chance. I also wanted to see what changes my characters had received.
So far all I see out of the characters I play is Silber jumping C doesn’t knock down on anyhit, so on one hand can’t combo 236X2+K off it, but on the other hand never have to worry about it KDing if I mess up a hyper hop…
The game isn’t slower as far as I can see, despite the addition of the 3D backgrounds.
Has there been a full list of the changes for arrange yet? In English or Japanese?
There’s a list on the movelist document at Gamefaqs; it lists the changes that REALLY matter like the nerfs to the top tier characters. That’s the big stuff. The rest is just mostly negligible or non-existent.
They did change a few things, but its pretty obvious that arrange focuses on raping the top tier guys. Everything else is more or less the same.
arrange mode changes some of the move property (no more juggle property dm for kim) and normal move (kyo can’t do standing C,fwd B,combo), slightly different timing.
Although Vanessa loses her infinite in Arrange mode, her LDM last twice as long. So it’s is finally possible to do combos that even out with most chars LDM.
Personally I think it’s sad that arrange mode has to be brought up to keep this thread bumped.
Hey that’s pretty cool, I always thought her LDM duration was wayyy too short and thus only useable in a combo. Now I guess you can activate it for shennanigans (or if you mess up your LDM combo you still have an advantage).
Good shit to the people I played in XI casuals at FR. It wasn’t a whole lot, but I’m glad to see that people still have interest in the game! 
Fuck that; I didn’t get to kick your ass once. Granted I haven’t played in awhile (one of those games I have to play constantly) and I forgot the stuff I was working on but still.
I’m going back to practicing and getting solid again. Me and you in KOFXI and Melty Blood next year. We can even money match. Get hype.
Also I gotta read up on Gai; I don’t know that match-up at all.
Think of it like this, when you here “Oh, ta” JUMP!
You gotta space Gai, he loses to chars with better range.
