I think we should post our PSN/Live tags to get in sets in between meetups, to help out those who can't make it out every week/at all.

Tdotimus

I really need to step my game up if I'm going to be referenced as a "top player".

XBL: Tdotimus Pryme
PSN: Tdotimus

but I only got KOF 13 for 360.  I might get it for PS3 if everyone else has it for that system.

Alright, updated the first post to facilitate this, added a template.

Not enough money for all that fancy PSN/XBL crap, sadly. But I'll fill out everything else, I guess.

Been running Takuma through trials.  Combos feel fairly simple and natural so we'll see what happens.  He's not a complete shoto clone though, considering the absence of a dragon punch.  Are there a list of normals and/or specials I should be using instead?

I don't know much about Takuma, but DC does have a pretty good wiki on characters.

The Takuma one is missing some info, but it has some combos and basic info.   ;a and  ;dn;c seem to be his AA normals.

TDot nailed it; the best resource that I personally am aware of right now is the SRK Wiki. Here are a few things that you may be able to use to supplement that:

http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0
(Dreamcancel's character discussion forums; there's some good stuff floating around in these.

http://iplaywinner.com/kofxiii
(IPlayWinner's KOF guide...occasionally might maybe have some info the SRK wiki does not.

http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?forums/king-of-fighters-xiii.423/
(SRK forums has a few character threads, so be sure to check those out, too.)

Been distracted by MW3 and UMvC3 recently.  Will try to set a goal to play KOF13 at least 30 minutes a day - gotta keep the combos fresh in memory!

"Advanced Strategy
Perform some grimmicks on a Hit Box."

Please tell me if this is some inside joke I am missing or if there is actually super hidden HitBox tech that I must know of.

"Advanced Strategy
Perform some grimmicks on a Hit Box."

Please tell me if this is some inside joke I am missing or if there is actually super hidden HitBox tech that I must know of.

I explained it on the stream two weeks ago: basically way back when the terribad Rizon channel #/v/fightan was still around, there was a guy named Mr. Karate who would play on keyboard religiously; if you played any next gen game with him, he'd complain that he didn't suck, and that he would beat you no problem if he just had a keyboard. Consciously or not, he would often do very scrubby things when pressured in most games with other players, or do really dumb gimmicks much to the dismay of Laban and Sparkster. They got miffed, and started talking shit; eventually someone in the IRC channel likened him to Squidward from Spongebob for some reason or another and it stuck. Mr. Karate at the time was lying to everyone about his real self and how he was successful, had a wife, and that his name was John Grimm (this is important); this further increased the slew of "squidward" remarks among the channel and people began to make up other monikers using his "given" name.

"John Grimmicks" was what came out of that, and it stuck with him; Mr. Karate created e-suicide sometime in late 2009 or early 2010. He took up his moniker John Grimm later, and people found his real name to be Eli Jackson. He would regularly talk with FoxhoundArcade who made sticks about the possibility of a keyboard stick, and somehow got close with the people who started up the Hitbox project in that time. You might've seen his shit featured on SRK multiple times, or official Hitbox videos with him demonstrating various things; they're the same person.

Being that Laban/Sparkster/Feez/Walkman (guys who wrote the SRK KOFXIII wiki are from that channel, they decided to pay homage to that in Takuma/Mr. Karate's page since they regularly make up new jokes regarding him (best one this year was "The Legend of Zelda: Squidward's Sword"). He's a pretty cool dude despite all of that, and I'm friends with him, but you still might catch me at EVO doing the "Let's go Squidward" chant along with everyone else. I'm very happy for his success. That's pretty much all the backstory.
