That's true, it's not. On the other hand, it doesn't help make her any easier at all either.

Make me a Leona combo video please. Have fun with that. I had to jump some big hurdles learning Ash, only because my competition is a high level player who would beat the hell out of me for standing still.

*wave* <--- PSN name is over there. I'll play with you. I main Ash and Kyo. My thirds varies between...a lot of people. Mainly Kensou and Athena though.

It will be. They do a dream match installment after every saga conclusion. Since XIII concludes the Ash saga, we're looking at XIV being a dream match. Also why is Kensou so godlike? I've been missing out and AyaImmortal's Kensou showed me the light. I love this bastard. I feel like the one thing keeping him from being the best character in this game is his horrendous air normals. Everything else about him is SO amazing. I am all over this. Honestly I don't use HDC that much anyways. I'll only do an HDC combo if: 1.) I'm punishing you for something stupid and I want to make sure it kills you. 2.) I landed an overhead with Kyo and I'm confirming it into killing you (or almost killing you). Thanks again to AyaImmortal for showing me this.

Haters gonna hate. I'm happy though.

Day one execution. I played '98, 2K2 UM, and XI.

Jourdal, I didn't recognize any of your posts for the longest time because I'm so used to seeing pink under your name... Knowing ArcSys, the timing of the combos probably won't be quite as tight as JoJo's. Doesn't change the fact that this game looks like it's going to be pretty good.

Not really... You haven't been around long, have you? Who the hell are you and what have you done with Blade?

French Bread rang. They said they want their 2A back. I figured I'd give this thread just a little life. I'd shut up about Capcom forever if this game managed to be good. Either way I'll stick with KoF XIII and MBAACC, thank you very much. Oh and Tag Tournament 2....and Chaos Code....fuck! I'll be all sorts of occupied when 2012 rolls around.

If the converter has a way to use the Home button (for example, some Saturn pad converters can input the PS/Home button by hitting Up+Start and some Dualshock converters can make the Analog button function as PS/Home button), then KoF XIII will pick it up fine. Otherwise you're S.O.L. I'm really hoping that SNK will release a patch to fix this (they probably won't, but I'll hope anyways) because I don't feel like buying a converter that has a Home button function. Initially I was disappointed that it wasn't RGB sliders like 98% of color editors are, but I can understand why SNK didn't make it that way. At first you can only mix and match colors from the character's 10 pre-made palettes, but you unlock new colors to use in a custom palette for that character as you play more matches with them. At a first glance, it seems kinda limited, but when you unlock all 20 extra colors for a character, the opportunities will open to a satisfactory level. I'm not complaining, I'm playing more matches to get my purple swag Ash palette on a roll. :P

What...? I agree on good, but not great, however it's A LOT better than any recent fighter's netcode that I've seen. I was able to do my combos with no issues, even in a 2 bar connection. I've had 3 bars with most people so far though, where there's no noticeable input delay (which is AMAZING~). Okay, I'll give you that. I really want NESTS Kyo. He's infinitely better to me because I'm more used to him, but I don't have a problem with the current Kyo either. Yes, but...this is a problem because? Again I give you that, but come on. If there's someone out there that didn't pick up this game just because the Story mode was lacking, I'm pretty sure we aren't going to miss them too much. Welp...just wait for XIV UM then. Maybe you'll get your wish. Honestly I can kinda sympathize with a few of your gripes, but I'm gonna have to agree to disagree because I'm enjoying this game quite a lot. If there's any gripe I have that stands out, it's the fact that the game does NOT register inputs from controllers connected to adapters that don't have an integrated Home button command of some sort. I can connect my Dualshock 2 and play any fighting game on the PS3 EXCEPT for KoF XIII. Why this is? I don't know, but I'm hoping SNK will listen to the complaints they got about this and fix it one way or another (as much as I have my hopes up, I doubt they will actually fix it). With how many people play pad for KoF, that shit hurts when you use something that's not the Dualshock 3 and you're forced to use it because you saved money by purchasing a cheaper adapter that got the job done and nothing else. Other than that big gripe? This game's fine by me. It has a more loose feel to it, as opposed to the stiff as hell 2K2 UM (which I love very much, but damn it's a stiff game). You're out of your mind! Oswald would be broken in this game. He already was there in XI. If I saw Malin again, I'd be perfectly okay with it. I liked hitting people with the hammer. Yes, I miss Vanessa a lot. On the other hand, it's the same deal as Oswald. With how the Drive and Hyper-Drive system works, Vanessa would probably be with Oswald in God-tier, quite possibly Banned-tier. I could see Blue Mary working well in XIII. She could easily be top or at least high tier without being overly broken. I'd rather see a lot of Blue Mary than a lot of Raiden (who I'm glad I don't see a lot of anymore).

What the fuck? Play offline with me and AyaImmortal, dammit! I didn't know there was a such thing as KoF XII. I thought SNK just skipped a number by accident when they titled KoF XIII. Anyways most people use Dream Cancel for KoF stuff.

Lol that won't last though. Besides, do you know how many people will try this game out? Plenty of casual players will put Kyo on their team because he's the main character. It won't take long for them to realize that Kyo won't help them get by if they have no idea what they're doing.

Welp... Back to doing extensive Google searches every week for more of the OST, only to never hail results. :<

Speaking of that, someone is taking the liberty of finally ripping the OST. So far, they've only released Cthylla and Celia's themes but since they were released a day apart, I have reason to believe there is definitely more to come. Cthylla's Theme Celia's Theme

First, the NESTS Kyo palette, now the Orochi Saga Kyo palette and we still have '98 Iori on the way for console releases? I can almost overlook the absence of Vanessa now. Almost....

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

No wonder it felt weird playing him. That would explain a lot. So since the netplay feature is out and about, I'll attempt hopping on that at one point to see how it goes.

I've tried before for AH3, but no luck. I don't really play BB much anymore, so I'll be horrendous at it if I played some matches. I'm all over the other games I listed though.

Don't worry, I got this. The combo's nowhere near as hard as you made it sound. I'll record it in just a few.

If YOU want to, you can go for it. Otherwise I could probably do it just fine. It doesn't seem that bad compared to the crazy things I've done before.

Sounds good, Achtzehn. I'm going to start recording these combos for the Wiki. Starting with mine of course. Checked the Wiki. VERY nice new combo. I'll mess with it later today.

Ain't that the truth? Agito is pretty wack too. The fact that his knife trap stays out there for years and hitting him doesn't make it disappear is like "What? Why would you do this?"

Well goody, I've found that the Erika combo I added to the Wiki is in fact universal. Ladies and gents, we have an Erika universal. Now when netplay comes out, you can make me proud (cry in sadness) by autopiloting that combo and making yourself unsafe on block.
