Jourdal Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) @Shin, I'm in the same boat, everyone assumes BB or GG is my favorite series due to the YT thing, and while i started with SF, i've been playing KoF since 96 and it's actually my favorite FG series. It just had some hard times until XIII. I'll still try to remain semi optimistic for extend jin due to what Shtkn and Solex (again thanks for the hands on guys) said but i haven't been "wowed" by a jin since extend game out. Random note, i have 94-98 via orochi collection, 99 for psx, 2k/2k1 for ps2, XI for ps2, and my XIII practically paid for....im just missing 2 (technically 3 whether i actually buy 12 for completions sake leads to be seen...) games for the full series.... Edited November 19, 2011 by Jourdal
Chris Chaos Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I'm pretty much in the same collection wise too: 94-98 (Orochi Saga) '98UM, 00-01, 02-03, XI, Maximum Impact, MI:II (2006) and MI:Reg A for the PS2 99 from PSN (Had it for PSX before I got jumped for it as a kid...) 02UM for XBL XII for the PS3 (My Coke coaster ATM...), and XIII fully paid off for the PS3 I am overly hype for XIII and shtkn and Solex is making me feel a little better about CS:EX Jin as well. If those guys don't mind the changes, I'm sure I'll like him too.
Jourdal Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I really need UM...i have no Xbox so i need the ps2 version...why that wasn't released on psn i'll never know...
Chris Chaos Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 IIRC, it was something about rights only to provide KOF games to Microsoft. That's why we only have 99 on PSN since we got that game before it took effect, then we got the older adaptions after that license was up. Sadly with the release of XIII on the way, they don't want to release 2002 UM on PSN now.
Yuushiro Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 @Solex.... 3rd place overall.... lost to Taiwan and China... best in USA overall, best creativity, the people's favorite. For my specific application we are first place too, so I did my part well. and THankfully Japan didn't enter or they would've won lol..... also Seattle is nice lol... btw... sorry for being offtopic lol... I really wished I could've attend NWM.
Jourdal Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I don't think anyone minds that you're off topic if a little...i mean me and shin are talking about a non ASW FG
Chris Chaos Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Yuushiro, you're on topic, someone asked and it's a General Thread after all LOL. Though we speak in this thread as of there is a Topic but I guess it's because we're all self organized. When one person jumps on one subject all of us tend to jump on it and move on when something else interesting is mentioned. One of the reasons I enjoy this thread especially when it becomes active.
Jourdal Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 When one person jumps on one subject all of us tend to jump on it Like we jump on tetsu's combos
Chris Chaos Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) @ Jourdal LOL, I see what you did there! In that aspect, you could say it's similar. EDIT: I also saw a link to KOF XIII netplay today, and from what the player is describing is that it's good but not awesome, it's a lot better than XII's and it's save system is similar to that of BlazBlue. The test was done from Virginia to Florida which is a decent distance to do a test, unlike what they did for XII's patch which was literally from 1 city to another in the same state...

Xx_Hoshi_xX Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I have a few things to say lol One, I will never be happy with what they have done to jin. When I saw Kei play in Jourdal's uploads I was like oh, I wonder if he'll win and I as expected he lost pretty horribly. It's just that they literally took everything from jin. The 214a combos are so dry and it loses novelty after the third time you've seen it. 6a has even more of a disadvantage on block... I'll trade simplicity for creativity any day, but we've been beating this dead horse since the game came out so there is no point in reiterating it. I have actually been considering dropping him or just quitting BB altogether and find a new fighter. Two, I wish I could play buzzed lol I'm not much of a drinker but I know enough to know that drugs and a fighter don't mix most of the time >.< Three, KOF looks amazing! I'm not as a devoted fan as Jourdal and Shin but it looks like a game I could seriously get into. I played one KOF game and I loved it.
LuminAbyss Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Simplicity often drives people to creativity. Can't win with Ragna without it.

I have actually been considering dropping him or just quitting BB altogether and find a new fighter. Yeah, New combos look really boring after a while. He lost a lot of mid screen damage thanks to the 6C nerf. He doesn't really have anything going for him either from what i've seen :/. Simplicity often drives people to creativity. Can't win with Ragna without it. Yeah that's true, But yeah I don't know what to do :V
Jourdal Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 How come when i said what Hoshi said everyone called me crazy . I'm positive i even said something similar about the bounce combos losing their novelty....All jokes aside...there must be room for creativity...but Jin never had the crazy shit ragna had. Ragna combo videos were always lulzy with shit like GH climb to BE. Jin combo videos minus that one shirushi made were always pretty "practical". It ALSO doesn't help that i've been doing 214C>RC>bs combo for a long time now lol. @Hoshi, i've been playing KoF 2K/2K1/ XI like every night this week before i go to sleep lol
xHarukashii Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Two, I wish I could play buzzed lol I'm not much of a drinker but I know enough to know that drugs and a fighter don't mix most of the time >.< I play really shitty or really good when under the influence.
Haven Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Everybody should just come with me, Shinsyn, and Jourdal and play KOF XIII when it comes out. I have never gotten to play any of them competitively since I was young, but I grew up with SNK. Yeah, Jin is looking really dry. I'll still use him, but I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up switching to Hazama again. I'll only decide once I play though, just seeing things on youtube isn't enough for me. Edited November 19, 2011 by Haven
Lucien Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I lol'd at how KEI got blown up... Does KEI even main Jin anymore? He was playing in a very "CS2 fashion".
Jourdal Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) He had a high PSR with jin early on, and was number 1 jin for a bit....then his PSR stayed the same, and his Ragna PSR kept shooting up. @Shin/Haven what teams do you see yourself playing? I'm looking at Kyo/Kula/K' as a main team another team will have Iori and Terry on it for sure.. But like with CS2 the majority of the cast looks really interesting and i see myself trying to learn them, aside from people i've always played like Iori, i want to try: Ash, Duolon, Saiki, Elisabeth, Mature, Mai (lol),Athena and King. Edited November 19, 2011 by Jourdal I forgot i like Seifukus
LuminAbyss Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I've already decided my team to be Ryo/Athena/Terry, I've been playing that team since 98.
Jourdal Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) They like to change my characters ....i didn't like 95 Kyo tbh, i liked 96 and up when he started using Rekkas...then KoF XII/XIII reverted his style back to 95..i can deal with it but eeeh. Luckily 99 Kyo will be released as DLC. The real question is...how much time will i waste creating palettes and shit . ASW need to bring back the color editor fuck this DLC color bs lol. Edited November 19, 2011 by Jourdal
Xx_Hoshi_xX Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 @Jourdal, lol I've actually been looking at ragna as a potential main and not because he is becoming really good; he is just a very simple character and actually he may be the closet thing I'll ever have to ABA so idk... I'm still deciding. And after seeing goro playing makoto, I've actually been pretty interested in her 0.0 and KOF is just too nice. I'm literally falling in love with Elisabeth, K', and I've always liked Kyo and Iori.
Tong Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 KOF scene is pretty strong here, at least 2002 and 98 on GGPO. In fact, I even tried to improve but always get my ass kicked out of nowhere. Not to mention the hardass combos. Color editor would be great for BB.
Lucien Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Color editor would be great for BB. This. Lol random Colour Editor DLC patch for CSX anyone?
Xx_Hoshi_xX Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 omg yes lol i get tired of the default colors sometimes. I also think it would bring more originality to a player because he/she could be the only one with that color.
Haven Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 @Jourdal: I am sure I am going to use Kula, I want to say I have decided beyond that but... Everyone looks really fun. Kyo, Shen, King, Iori, K, Athena, they all look really fun lol. I may try everyone.
Chris Chaos Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) @ Jourdal Shen/Kensou/Leona with '99 Kyo and Vice as my OS characters. Leona might not cut it on the main team because the console nerfs on XIII completly ruined her game (Frame Traps). With all her slicer moves even more negative on block, it's now become a game of attack precision with her. I can manage that but to change Leona's style of play this late in the series is gonna hurt a lot of Leona players. At least I'll have '99 Kyo to swap her out if things are that bad. Kensou's new style impressed me in the "KOF game that never existed" and I was really feeling the changes, and now that they expanded from that he has went from a beast to a monster! I am loving what they did to him in XIII and I won't complain especially now that it feels he has a real fighting style this time around. I've been roling with Shen Woo since 2003 when he was shit-tier and people in my scene feared him when I was on the stick and he was on the screen. It was funny to hear "You actually play this shitty character?" then it changes to "WTF my tream got bodied by one of the worst characters in the game!" And in XI he was better, no need to get into that and even with the few tweaked nerfs he got in the console version of XIII (which are fair, though I don't agree with them), he is still a freaking monster. My subs are veteran characters that I won't have an issue relearning just in case I run into zoners or heavy hitting characters that Vice and '99 Kyo can handle by swaping out Leona and possibly Kensou. I'm ready for this game Tuesday and I can't wait to put my hands on the game again! Edited November 19, 2011 by Shinsyn Fucking auto-correct...
