I don´t agree with this whole "be nice to another players so more people will get into KOF".
I am a very competitive person, so to me, is win or win, no choice.
We can be friends and all, but once the game starts is war for me (same happens in Basketball, my favourite sport).
I can understand that some people have fun playing the game, but that is not my case. I play to get that feeling that you get when you win (kinda dificult to explain in words). I really don´t give a damn if the other person is having a hard time. I remember I was playing KOF XI once at a comic convention (for free, on PS2), someone challenge me. I win the entire match just doing down+fierce kick. If the poor guy can´t guard while crouching.....well, not my problem.
I respect that not everyone will share my point of view, but...if you can´t take it and you are gonna leave each time they kick your ass...
Everytime you start playing a videogame, a sport or whatever, you dont know how to do it the first time, and with experience, practice and training you improve, it´s a natural process.
Now, in terms of infinite combos and bullshit like that, well, when we used to play (always console games), me & my friends usually set some rules for really extreme situations. We tried not to, but if there was anything as broken as an infinite combo we did. Again, we did this only on extreme cases, if a character is really good or has a really devastating combo, attack or whatever, well....deal with it. In fact, we haven´t done it for years.
I undertand that in the arcade or a tournament the situation is kinda different something different, cause it's money.
The real culprit here is the company or people who releases something with doing the proper testing.
Anyway, I hope they continue to release upgrades, cause I really don´t like the fact that you can juggle soooooo much in this game.
Excuse me for my english, it is not my main language.
