Mightfo Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Poster boys always are popular even if they are not top tier :P Yeah, that's true, especially if they have a DP. Even if they are boring to play and terribly designed like ragna. Oh well, k' is one of the better ones... Don't forget they extended the time it takes to charge Raiden's DERPkick! Can't combo off it midscreen anymore, too.
Starlight777 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Ragna criminally hideous design wise lol. But yeah I agree, a large percent of online in fighters is usually the "badass" looking poster boy with a good DP. I'm prepared for an onslaught of Kyos, K's and Ryos who play the characters like they are Ryu. Also I'm glad the DERPkick got the bejeezus nerfed out of it. I couldn't watch arcade matches without seeing about a hundred of them each time. :8/: Edited September 2, 2011 by Starlight777
Starlight777 Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 So they gave Classic Iori Arashi no Saxophone as his theme. That's wonderful now we can get his 96 team together with his 96 theme. Billy looks rather lacking compared to the other two lol. And Saiki is for those who like playing Ash, but don't feel like charging Saiki is definitely my favorite of the three, but I just wish his boss theme was his main theme. Fate's probably his second.

Mightfo Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 saiki looks awesome. his voice acting is great too. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Ragna criminally hideous design wise lol. But yeah I agree, a large percent of online in fighters is usually the "badass" looking poster boy with a good DP. actually, i like how he looks except his hair is meh to me, i just meant his gameplay is shittily designed though i guess it's a little redundant in that sentence with "plays boring"
Vulcan422 Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Wow, Arashi no Saxophone 2's new arrangement sounds pretty good. London March sounds horrible, though. I still prefer the Arrange version from Fatal Fury Special.
Starlight777 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 The 2 other dlc are: EX Kyo (HUGE Waste!) Mr.Karate Takuma (Would rather have Mr.Karate Ryo) Either way not buying them.
omegaryuji Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Might be a troll. From Mikel on dreamcancel: News update from Frionel: An official announcement of the publisher is expected to arrive next week to deny that shit. I can tell you one thing: the arts exist, but the document's author probably had no idea why and how. I can tell you formally that the information on these characters and the price that was given is completely false. It was not until the official announcements before rave. Thank you Source: http://neo-arcadia.com/forum/ No comment... But also... http://www.speksnk.org/foro/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=73920 There is one more on-disc character, but let's wait and see...
SkyKing Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Still kinda sad that they didn't put in Vanessa or Whip, but I'm good with Kyo and Iori getting their more prevalent versions in the game if those speculations are true. It'd be kinda hilarious if they somehow manage to put either Geese or Rugal in just for the hell of it.
omegaryuji Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 It'd be kinda hilarious if they somehow manage to put either Geese or Rugal in just for the hell of it. As much as I wish Geese was in, Yamamoto said at EVO that Geese is 100% not going to be in XIII (citing that he didn't fit the system well, which I can kind of understand, since Geese's moves don't lend themselves to juggles aside from the melee versions of reppuken).
Starlight777 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 NEWS UPDATE! SNK is denying that EX Kyo and Mr.Karate are the last 2 dlc and there are claims of a 3rd on disc character now. I honestly think they are pulling a Capcom and denying an obvious leak. However if there is a 3rd on disc character I hope its either Shroom or Botan. TFTP should have a rep who isn't a swap and I have some humorous pallette ideas for Shroom, but he'll never make it.
Vulcan422 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Yamamoto said at EVO that Geese is 100% not going to be in XIII (citing that he didn't fit the system well, which I can kind of understand, since Geese's moves don't lend themselves to juggles aside from the melee versions of reppuken). Well, fuck this. Canceling pre-order. Not really.
Starlight777 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Even though the possibility of a 3rd disc character is just a rumor, I definitely want to be true. Aside from Classic Iori the dlc sucks big time. I know there are people who wanted Kyo with punch chains but who wanted EX Takuma. This must be because EX characters are cheaper to make.
Firekid2 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 So, on a completely different note, in an effort to play as many different fighters as possible, I might pick this up. My only question is: What does Kula play like? I've been looking for tutorials on her, but I can't find anything. >_>
Vulcan422 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 In my experience with KOF, Kula is pretty simple to pick up and play. She has an ice breath projectile, a projectile absorber, a DP, and a Tatsu. Her Tatsu is unique in that she can do either a slide or an ice ball projectile from it for mixup with F+HK/LK, respectively. Her Ice Breath, depending on the version, has different timings at which they come out. You probably won't be using her DP much because both versions go about as far or slightly farther than Ken's DP. Think of her as like the Ken to K's Ryu.
Mightfo Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 assuming the "leak" is true, i was hoping "new characters" meant "new characters" and especially not "hey another takuma/kyo" even though i want old kyo oh well. game will still own and there's plenty of good characters.

Yeah I wanted a TFTP member or someone who wasn't already in the cast to be dlc, but anyway everyone should have saw this coming since EX characters are cheaper to make than building something entirely from scratch. I felt I should've expected this after EX Iori. This game great regardless though. Can't wait to fiddle around with color edit and unlock Saiki when this comes out.
omegaryuji Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 So, on a completely different note, in an effort to play as many different fighters as possible, I might pick this up. My only question is: What does Kula play like? I've been looking for tutorials on her, but I can't find anything. >_> Kula tutorial for KOF 2002UM: http://youtu.be/gX32nF0-8qA (Obviously a different game, but a lot of the stuff still applies) Kula's a very pokey character who basically wants to juggle (mostly using her qcb+K twirl) into a knockdown, then do some oki with something like meaty qcf+P ice breath, ambiguous crossup hops, etc. She's typically one of the easier characters to pick up and do stuff with, plus she benefits from being able to cancel her cr.B and far st.C, so her combo openers are a bit more lenient than many other characters. She also has one of the highest priority DPs (at least in the arcade version), although it's still a DP in KOF, so don't be surprised if it trades or gets stuffed a lot compared to a Street Fighter DP.
Firekid2 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 ^Thanks guys! Ok, I'm thinking my team will be Kula/Athena/Leona. >_>
Starlight777 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Xechs why? Now I'm gonna have nightmares of fighting nothing but Naked Raidens and Pantless Yuris online.
Xechs Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Glad you like it XD more edits, these are kinda cool unlike the previous: http://oi56.tinypic.com/312v5lx.jpg http://oi52.tinypic.com/33a6iac.jpg Still waiting for a shirtless Leona
