The King of Fighters XIII 3rd |OT| Thread:Console Edition (UPDATE 8/26 1st page)

[Shin]

No, definitely not, I was like wth, myself ^^''

[MUSOLINI]

anybody ask when the new characters will be revealed?

@ answer, lolis are bad but the sports team and so generalized its not even funny. and they look and play like crap as well, can be missed in favor of better characters. heavy was nice playwise in 98, but still a crap design.

prefer rick or vanessa. or even rob python.

hwa seems to be able to link or chain his  and if im not mistaken i even saw him do  ,  .

[Shin]

anybody ask when the new characters will be revealed?

Yes, several times, and they said "embargo" on that, so no. but I guess that yeah, something might come on or before the console loketest in japan (starting the 20th)

(I would live to have Rick in if not Vanessa, that's for sure! :D)

btw, some of you were kinding a few pages back about not being able to play with and arcade stick on a hypothetical KOFXIII port on PSVita...
...well actually turns out you can, since I'm already playing BBCS2 and GGXXAC+ on PSPGo with a modded wireless Tekken6 stick with DualShock3 support. (since Vita has blutooth built-in, it's bound to work the same way ^^)

[SAB-CA]

I noticed that Hwa "Target Combo" too Musolini, from the Gamespot vids. Did you see it somewhere else?

I'm at the same time happy and pissed as hell at the upcoming release of Guardian Heroes. I just bought a Sega Saturn this past January and one of the first games I bought for it was Guardian Heroes. I paid almost $100 for it (could have got it cheaper but the copy I got was in perfect condition).

At least it's worth it! XD There are some horror stories online of people paying huge for GH, only to end up with broken disk, or imperfect cases. Cool that you got one that was taken care of so well! (I've had mine since near release... and it's seen better days....)

WTF I don't even... xD
I don't think the game is all or nothing though, it's a really technical game, but the parry system adds a L-O-T in term of mindgame and what you can do, would you can trap and what you can come back from ^^ (but yeah ken and chun-li event at low level play are incredibly broken ) (it took me a long time to get used to the wacky characters, weird graphical universe and music so I guess I see what you mean)

Well, I mostly mean the gameplay, and because of parry: it forces such a deep knowledge of matchups, and the upper tier PLAYERS are so good, that it's really not that fun a game to wanna play casually, for me and my brother. It's like it ask you to forsake all other fighters, just to get the most out of IT, lol. Sorry 3SOE, but I have KoFs!

But I gonna say that "graphical" magic touch came with XII, and left as quicly as it came as for the 1st time since 94' I skipped a KOF entirely (I tought to myself WTF is this game after playing for half an hour, where are the moves, at all? why would I play this when I have 02UM and XI seriously lol)

02UM was still very far away on XBLA when I got XII, and XI... Bah, PS2! Heh heh. I had a few friends whom I played XII with for months on end; it was a really good time.  Having played XIII makes it hard to wanna go back to XII now, however. It's a much better rounded game, for sure.

If there are more EX chars than Iori I see King being one of them. Snkp has always been nice to her so I see her making it.

[Xxenace]

im ok with music packs KoF has some of the best music in fighting game history

[Shin]

Wouldn't be against some EX King :D

SAB-CA>true about xbla UM02, though ps2 version was there and 360 partner net version(the finalized version) was out 8month before the xboxlive one...

J_LyRock is making a full transcript in english about frionel's demo on Elive right now ! we might ask him if we can archive and post that somewhere ^^

[LouisCipher]

If there are more EX chars than Iori I see King being one of them. Snkp has always been nice to her so I see her making it.

I'd like to see EX Leona aka Riot of Blood Leona.

[Running Wild]

Why EX King? We already have EX King. Remember 98UM EX King? That's basically KOF13 King, minus the air Venom Strike. Regular King in 98 I think was just ass. Tornado Kick chugged dicks, Illusion Dance was a crap super and Silent Slash was prone to whiffing. The way King plays now is pretty good and I think her best incarnation.

I'd rather they add missing moves to existing characters rather than make a separate EX version.

[AzureTAG]

Give XIII King a Proxy unblockable and she's good to go.

[Shin]

I did not have the time to ask him before he left the chat but I'll still post his transcript, lt's hope he doesn't get mad at me for it ^^''

8 characters?
great

[DarKaoZ]

That list of updates is awesome. Glad to see K got nerfed but is still good, since I will play with him and I like his gameplay style. But I hope Jow dp+HK can be still be punished on block, it was a pain to punish in XII.
