KOF XIII 5th |OT| Thread: Console Change log edition

[omegaryuji]

Really hoping to find out if there's going to be another delay in north america, too, since I need to decide whether or not to ask for time off from work for NEC, and I'm not sure if it's worth it for me to go there without XIII.

lol, forums (Atlus staff) posted this in the Atlus forums:

We're still set for the 22nd, though that isn't necessarily set in stone. Things can happen at the last minute which can result in minor delays like this (nothing development-wise, obviously, since we're beyond that point). I'm not entirely sure why exactly Japan made the slight delay, but then again, they never gave a firm release date since the initial delay.

[nilcam]

I doubt we'll see another delay. We're too close and too much PR is being done. I really do think the Japanese release date has a lot to do with DLC Iori, which is the preorder bonus. It would suck to buy a game and get the preorder bonus a week-and-a-half later.

shit id wait 2 weeks more if that would mean ast instead of ost.

[Rex Dart]

I don't think the headline should be "XIII Delayed in Japan." It's more accurate to say  "Japanese Release Date Announced."

Again, they never had a firm date in Asia. It's just over one week after the rest of the world gets it. XII was also released in North America before it was released in Japan.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing to see here.

isn't the reason that the DLC characters are $8 because they come with other things?

[Reiki.Kito]

I'm pretty happy with what we got. I'm especially happy 2 of my characters got some significant buffs and chars I considered are stronger.

[sociald]

this backdash option is interesting and it gives more strategy or leads up to mindgames a little more
what i hope is .... please dont make it possible to do option select like in sf.
we r not retarded and we dont need stuffs like ok i do this and if he reacts in this way i ll do 'automatically' that.
what we need is reaction and intuitions not retarded option selects

[omegaryuji]

Um, option selects are in pretty much every fighting game.  They're a way of twisting the game engine to work in your favor, just like canceling was way back in SF2:World Warrior.

The Beginner's Incomplete Guide to KOF

Go to 12:30.

There's still a big difference between OS in KOF and OS in SF4, though. At least in my opinion.

i'm happy because they balanced the cast better, most of the characters i use got better too.

Here's a very limited list of examples:

-Hold back while pushing a fast normal against jumpin mixups.  The video Rex Dart linked shows how that works.
-Every normal throw is an OS, especially if you have a good cl.C/cl.D like Kyo.  Beats blocking, jump outs, and slow moves that are throwable.
-Anyone with an air throw and a good j.A or j.B but bad j.C and j.D can do j.AC/j.AD or j.BC/j.BD, respectively, while holding a direction.  You either air grab if they jumped or get your j.A/j.B if they didn't.
-O.Chris: cl.D, hcf+AB...you get punch dance on hit from cl.D or qcf+A on block

Dude...it's literally a CoD Story.  Only one that's actually decent is Black Ops and that's just because of how batshit insane it was.  Plus you can't beat the fun of flashbacks.  Too bad the rest of the game sucked.

Again off topic, Canada Cup in 3-4 hours, aw yeah.

On topic, can't...wait...much longer for the game.
