Hi I'm new here and I'm about to buy this game next week.  Been interested on playing it on a competitive level, I like how it plays, the game systems and the kind of play it promotes yet being a well-balanced game. 

I'm from Puerto Rico.

Welcome to Dream Cancel Rated. Hope when you get the game next week, it'll be everything you expect it to be and more. We've got lots of resources and people to get feedback off of here, so I think you'll be competitive before you know it.

Just curious, what's your fighting game history like? Is this your first KOF or SNK fighter? Play any Capcom, Namco, or other fighters regularly? I only ask for finding a good way to ease you into KOF-style play as smoothly as possible.

I'm a former competitive smash player.(a lot of time in it)  I play SSF4AE but not at a good competitive level. 

I play other fighters regularly like Marvel and AE.  I like KOF 13 better though, I played it at a friend house who has it.  Saw some vids of the fundamentals and stuff like that.  I like the concept of Short Hops and the diferent kinds of jumps since I feel like "at home" since in smash the way you jump and move around the stage changes everything in that game.

welcome to DC Rated

Yeah mastering the different jumps will certainly add to your game. Becoming used to the other basic system mechanics will also give you an edge versus anyone from a similar background.

Will be interesting to know how concepts from smash might be transferrable to KOF - lemme know if anything stands out when you get the game.

Think you'll enjoy it

Smash to KOF is a very interesting transition; forgot about Smash's jumps too. I'm also interested if anything stands out or is peculiar to you about it.
