- Definitely. Grabs fucking suck in XII.
- Agree. Though we need it to go back to the system where for each character you lose, you get another stock.
- Can go both ways. It makes it more strategic since you can’t overabuse it like b C+D but some people like the parry style of the new one. Perhaps making it like advanced/extra?
- I’d say at least 2 SDMs for most characters. Add some variety.
- I agree. I found the controls in XII to be the smoothest. It just handled better then 2k2 and XI for some odd reason. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m too used to 98? But 2k2 just seemed a bit more stiff to me compared to 98.
- Yeah the C+D introduced some good new possibilities and charging it was also a good new step.
- Clash needs to be fixed somehow. It just seems a bit off. Especially with some attacks not properly clashing sometimes.
- Disagree. Custom combos need to be REMOVED. They ruin the flow.
- Agree. These pushbacks need to be put back in.
- K’ isn’t unique enough. I can agree with Duck King, Blue Mary and Oswald, but Mai? Why? Add some more unique characters like Heavy D, Heidern and so forth.
- Disagree. We don’t need people going back to the bottle. Keep the new Iori and don’t add the old dial a combo Iori back. The new Iori is actually interesting and isn’t a Kyo ripoff.
You’re right that we need more movesets and more combos, but for god sakes not all of them need to be 97-98 style. Some characters have a better moveset in 2k2 and XI so it needs to be a melding of 97-XI depending on characters. But some characters DO need to stay in the XII style. I like the new Iori and I actually enjoy the big differences between Ralf and Clark now. Though Ralf should still get his RALF KICK back along with the air dive. Clark needs all of his throws back. Kensou is should be between his 98 iteration or his XII iteration. Chin needs his alcoholic jug and his older stances back. Joe needs to go back to 98-2k2 iteration so his damn tiger kick spam will end.
They did say that a new KOF XIII would be coming soon and asking for all the characters back is asking a hell of a lot. So unless they redo the sprites again Blazblue style, I wouldn’t expect too much with the KOF XII style of sprites where all that shit is hand drawn.
