I don't know if the Northwest is really getting into KOF or what, but I haven't had any trouble (yet) finding matches. Of course it varies by time of day, but I typically don't have to wait more than a minute or two in practice mode.



YO!!!!  We are playing this in WA, Canada BC and Oregon.  There is a NWKOF page.  I don't like FB but ended up making a dummy account and joining.  There's about 55 heads in WA alone. Tourney's and gatherings just about every week.

Really, it's the opposite for me.  Facing a lot of people who don't really know what they're doing.
On 5/26, something that defined a generation shall make its rightful return.  #Toonamisbackbitches.  Prepare yourselves.  Bang.

Sounds like you're playing people who are playing King of Street Fighters.  Have a FIREBALL ZEEEE.

Except for the part where they didn't even try that.  It's not that they didn't know what they were doing in KoF.  It's that most of them didn't know what they were doing in a FG period it seemed.  If they had played like they were playing SF, one, I would've said so and two, depending on who they used the fundamentals would've at least provided me with something.

Also, it's official, the KOFXIII Arcade Machines are indeed getting the console updates...however, it's being called KOFXIII:Climax.

Find that a bit...suspicious.

That's awesome. I'm glad to see that there's people still supporting the arcade, especially when KOF has thrived on it so much. It's sad when arcade players are left behind.

More like its all that matters in Japan it seems, KOFXIII match vids etc from there pretty much completely dried up after the console release.

Doubt it but wonder if there are any differences from the console version, though as much as I'd like SNK to put new content into XIII at the same time I'd rather they shift their focus onto a new project, XIII is friggin amazing as is (easily my no.1 fighter of all time).

Anyone else find it odd how even though SoCal seems to hold Robert in such high regard when talking about tiers they never ever actually use him?

Also, seems Mature is moving up their ranks. She was getting a lot of use in yesterday's tournament, even as anchor. Her EX fireball pretty much completely shuts down fireball games, like that of Saiki. Her links equal tons of damage and she can really lock you down with block strings.

I've been curious about the Robert thing for a long time. He's good, but works best at mid to long range IMO. The mid range attacks can set up the close range, but he always seemed weak up close compared to Takuma, or Ryo. Every time I hear about Robert though, they make him out a all around fighter w/ high priority. I just don't see it.
Say it with me now: "Variable input lag BAAAAAAD!!!"

Every time I hear about Robert though, they make him out a all around fighter w/ high priority. I just don't see it.

I think it's exactly because he's an all-around fighter that he seems to pale in comparison with Takuma or Ryo in close range. When you look at it, Robert has pretty much everything in his arsenal: a fireball, an anti-air, a cross up, a grab...you name it, he probably has it, except more juggling options.

When he corners an opponent, he turns out to have less juggling options without having to sacrifice meter or drive. The biggest difference is that his db_f+K makes him jump backwards, unlike Takuma's version or Ryo's hcb+K. Ryo can also juggle his opponents a few times with his qcf+A while Takuma can prolong his combos further with his zanretsuken into grab. Even Yuri outjuggles Robert with her qcb+P.

Basically, he's like Mario. He's pretty well-rounded, having almost every single trick you can find, but not really the best in all of them.

So I've been finding more green/blue bar matches on ranked instead of player match. I'm glad that I'm actually getting in some good matches, but a little sad that I keep getting my ass handed to me by so man Clark and Kula players...
