The combos in general definitely take some getting used to. I really like it though, gonna pick up the 360 version soon.
I’m back to using Ryo too now, he looks pissed off in this one lol
If you all haven’t seen this yet, it’s got a lot of good combos

I hope they do something with the online part of this game soon. Getting a nonlaggy match seems all but impossible, even the damn character select screen lags on 1 bar matches. I’m liking KoF so far, been playing with Kim, Athena, Andy, Goro and Sei mostly. Don’t really know what team I’ll stick with, but Kim seems to be my favorite followed by Athena. I can’t land any combos, with anyone, with any consistency, aside from mashing light attacks followed by a special. Needs more stages too. Jumping properly is hard. Fun game so far, just needs some tweaking to make it fun to play online.
Yeah I peeped that last night. CC’s I haven’t even started learning yet. But it seems llike you need to learn a solid mid-screen and corner CC to add good damage options to your game. I feel like my team has turned into Kyo/Terry/Ash with Joe, Clark, or someone else as a switch in for ash. Terry’s block string I like to use (cr.B (x1-3) > st.B > f+A) looks so sexy. f+A gives good push back and sets you up with options to catch people trying to poke after your combo. Ryo looks fun too. He can do some serious damage off a CC. Just need to land short jumps 100 percent then this game will be like darkstalkers. Jumping D rush down all over the place haha.
Yeah I’m liking this game quite a bit too. One thing that is really messing with me is the hit stun and block stun is really long so it makes it really difficult to tick into throws. For instance if you do a crossup D with raiden even on a high jump they are still in hit stun when you land and your command grab will whiff. I really want to use a grappler, but man ticking is hard.
Will do. Get dat Blazblue. You should try playing offline with the guys too.
Am I going to be the only D-Bag playing Iori? I like his new fighting style and new outfit for this game. I’ve still barely had a chance to play the game.
I think that is a good thing. I really don’t think the combos are too hard and you should try buffering into the throw since you can combo into them. Do cross up Jump D > s.C > hcf + B/D or I think Jump D > cr.B > cr.A > hcf + B/D. Something like that and you’ll hit it every time. The cr. b/a might not be the starter but but I know its something like that, C will land every time if you do it fast enough. Its a fast input, almost instant. I tried using Raiden but I always confuse myself when I do the cross up and end up doing hcf the wrong direction. He’s sooooo big!
Edit: I read somewhere that Raiden’s Jump D is teh second best jump in/cross up in the game. Use it often. He also has a cool corner combo: Jump D > C > C+D > dp+A/C
It Looks sick. You could also do: Jump D > C > C+D > B-F +A/C > dp + A/C
But I believe the damage is less with the B-F A/C, or something where it’s not as good to use. If the combo doesn’t work I might have left something out, but I believe that’s right. Haven’t played with Raiden since the first day.
Iceman Edit: Iori looks sick, but everyone plays him. I guess you could say the same about kyo and terry too though… I’ll probably learn him all his combos are sexy.
Ohhhh I didn’t realize you can combo into throws. Yeah I never tried doing anything after the Crossup.
My current favorite combo (looks flashy!)
As Athena with other guy in the corner:
jD,C,C+D,6B,(while still in the air)214B,623C
You can also throw in her super instead of the DP for slightly more damage but a lot more flash
Something from orochinagi.
and the current tier list from arcadia:
S Rank: Kyo, Iori
A Rank: Terry, Andy, Joe, Shen Woo, Kensou, Ralf, Kim, Ryo
B Rank: Robert, Ash, Chin, Raiden, Daimon
C Rank: Benimaru, Duo-lon, Leona, Athena
D Rank: Clark
and Lol at christian, KOF baybee you can combo into your dreams!
There was a patch for PS3 ver last night, supposedly improved a lot of the online play issues. I haven’t tried it online yet though so I dunno how much.
I wonder if there is a patch 360… its a laggy for use on live too. Does anyone know how mature and elizabeth rank?
Mature has gimmicks and elizabath has damage so rank them based on how far that will get you in this game.
So you’re telling me to play them? Haha. I saw some of matures jump normals or special where she does some backflip nails and it can be used as a cross up? I don’t really know i was half watching half playing at the time.
It does crossup. It also has two different ranges so you can crossup from pretty far away. You can also flip without the followup to setup throws and other gimmicky things.
… yes. I’m going to play her later.
Ok kyo’s good. He’s on my team.
edit: does anyone else have a problem with doing the charged version of CD by accident? I seem to get it a lot by accident even though I’m tapping the buttons.
I get that sometimes, it’s weird. Sometimes when it happens I end up canceling the C+D before it hits with the special i was gonna do after it.
Yeah, Kyo is very good. Corner BnB is like 400 points. I like Joe, but I’m not sure if he has the solid anti-air options I like to have. But WOW. Joe’s backdash is awesome. GTFO now, k thx bye. He’s easy, he can do damage, he can zone, he can be an annoying fool with his slide. So I think I’ll play Joe for a while, at least until I learn more difficult characters like Duo Lon. I think Iori is going to be my go to for this game. He’s the only character I have definitely settled on.
Joe’s one of the best in da game. Simple combos, strong block string, strong cc, etc. If he had a super good anti-air he would be untouchable.
Yeah if he had a super good anti-air he would be kyo.
I don’t think Kyo is the best. He does have a ton of options but I’d say joe and him are on the same level with options. Joe’s super is better than Kyo’s outside of CC. It’s hard to jump in on a max super bar Joe.
