Dunno about XIII, but Maxima is very strong in 2k2. Chang is another slow character that does well in several KOFs.
Do you mean 02UM? I haven’t seen much Maxi play but in 13 he’s bottom tier. He has some interesting tech but horrible matchups with 90% of the cast.
lol no
Show me one good Maxi player who made it to top 8. Show me at least two good Maxi players. Oh wait, you don’t play 13 and just play 98 on GGPO all day and whine that you can’t play 13.
You’re fucking retarded fi you think Maxima is anywhere close to bad.
Ok how about first you stop using ad hominems and tell us why he’s so fucking bad.
Or are you too bad to explain?
Really? Want to go there? Most people who actually play 13 agree that Maxi is pretty low tier despite some good technology. Problem is that he’s slow as hell and mostly relies on autoguard. I already explaiend that he has a bad matchup with 90% of the cast.
I don’t know where this sudden “Maxima is good!” mentality came from but this is the first I’ve heard outside of Kaurou (sp?) fanboys. I think it was Kaurou who used Maxi, I know he mains Ryo and Goro. Kaurou is good, but he couldn’t make top 8 with Maxi.
Check any semblance of a tier list and guess what? He’s low or right next to the bottom. Were you guys in a cave the last year or so? Did Laban bang on your cave door and rallied you to defend Maxima? Just curious.
Fucking retarded.
Because you can’t be original ggs.
Maxima is a great spacing character that doesn’t need to rely on auto-guard. He has good vapor canons, good checks with st.A, and covers good hops space with hop j.CD. He also has a pretty neato df.C for anti-air against full jumps, which he could easily coax out with his other pokes, and could supplement that game with his dp+K. His okizeme game is good and has great ways to floor opponents that try to do “something” or anything on oki and force ways to open them up with a command throw. And, he doesn’t even need to do that as he can keep his optimal spacing and put the opponent in a game of attrition and force the opponent to make key reads but all to Maxima’s gameplan. Then comparatively to the cast, he has really great damage output. Then add a good enough reversal game to keep most characters honest on his knockdown. Add in a pretty good sweep.
His main flaw is just that he’s really fat on crouch so it’s easier to cross him up; but, if you play a really strong spacing game with him, most characters shouldn’t be getting on him at all just like with Daimon.
Kaoru is a good example of playing a solid wall with his characters are very successful. He didn’t make top 8, especially since the nigga chokes more in tournies due to pressure, but that doesn’t lessen his ability to rape Mr.KOF or Reynald (especially looking at Reynald as a top 8 contender) or anyone else in Money Matches or even lessen the way his characters or style works.
Like dude. At least I can put in the time to actually back up what I say with concrete examples and such. Just because you suck dick with fatty ass, thick, muscle characters doesn’t make them bad characters. Like I don’t want to see you make a fucking Clark Bible when all you do in 98 is run into projectiles with hcf+P with Clark and not even know how to space or block or say dumb shit like Clark’s j.B or j.D hit “mid” and not overhead in your “Clark Bible.”
Like seriously, what’s up with you and fucking big ass grappling niggas that look like they belong in Billy Herrington films? I was liking this thread before you started posting in it and you magically ruin it like any other thread you post in. Hell, I haven’t even stepped into the Third Strike boards but I bet you shat that up too dawg. Terrible opinions, terrible ego, terrible grace, and terrible game play.
Now you’re just mad whenever I post putting you on blast for whatever retarded nonsense you post. You want me to be like every other fucker on his forum and just ignore you while you feel good about posting stupid shit that you think is correct? Seriously, get a clue. You’re wrong and take that shit like a man and learn from it. I’m already done from my salt from EVO and moved on and even went to a session recently in the bay and was beating people.
You’re just some bitter bitch that doesn’t have a screw on right. If you want to continue this shit, do it in PMs because you continuing to post on his thread will just make it even shittier.
Thread didn’t go to shit until you started your shit.
You seem to be a very sensitive person who’s probably a brony too.
Cool rebuttal to my points. Okay, I’ll let you go posting wrong information about KOF generally. At least people know now that you’re generally wrong and that you shouldn’t be taken seriously at all, ever. There ya go. So when you start posting about Xuandou Zhiwang, it’ll generally be wrong too.
So this character is pretty much Yuri and Sakura combined into one.
Noticeable rips:
- A Jill Valentine move from MvC2
- Punch sprite from Vanessa’s striker entrance
- Her axe kick seems to be a Chie Satonaka (Persona 4 Arena) rip?
I know some have mentioned the ripping off of stuff here and there but as an appreciator of the creative elements of fighting games I feel sad that they had to resort to complete ripping and re-skinning some of the moves of these characters. Sucks because most of them are well designed. 
As far as I’m concerned, I don’t care how original something is, I care how good something is. The moves may look similar, but they don’t have the same properties and they CERTAINLY don’t play the same. Game is good, they could straight up have Ryu and Kyo in the game and I still wouldn’t care. I expected Lynn to be a Yuri clone and she is, but she also looks pretty different in her abilities and I’m excited to try her out.
New character looks more like that chick from Neo Geo Battle Coliseum who had a purse as a weapon. I completely forget her name.
She doesn’t actually use the purse, that’s just her artwork.
Yeah, pretty much the stance of those who lean on the Gameplay side of things, which for me I do not condone in anyway or form because that’s what you like and mine is the creative side.
In the back of my mind it feels a total let down because I see a lot of talented artists in China and yet they choose to completely rip off stuff… I know, it saves them time and shit and China has had a rich history of copying stuff but just feels “meh”.
Oh well, at least I got pr0n subjects to use now from this game TroLoL.
Kisarah, right? At first glance she reminded me of a mix of Miharu (Tekken) + Hinata (Rival School).
Still waiting on Guile/Remy type character, hopefully more Remy. Mix in a little Charlie in there too while you’re at it.
