The King of Fighters XIII General Discussion Thread

oogosho must be happy that ralph is low tier, lol. even with other ratios both maxima and ralph are bottom tier (damn, if thats low tier) so he can pretty much use any combination.

IIRC, ratio points usually go by character usage, not  by tiers.

[Cibernetico]

When you random select in this game, do you get random characters each match? The reason I ask is because I noticed some people where random picking and they always got different characters for every new team they fought. Now I also did notice they were holding either the stick and some other buttons before the match started. I used to see this happen in OG2k2 as well and this and that game are the only two I've ever seen it happen in.

So is there a trick to it or does the game just random for you everytime by itself?

[Aenthin]

Yeah. The random roulette feature is back to what it was prior 2003, that is, you get random characters each time a new match begins. It was only because of the shift system of 2003 and XI that the roulette was gone though the reason behind it, I'm not sure.

Looks like it's impossible. Some others have tried without succes...  We have to wait, like or not

I heard that in Mexico they were able to hack it. Who knows.

If one actually gets around, don't forget to buy an official copy somehow, unless that's the last new KoF you want.

if they stop making kof, i'm importing a cab, no matter what.

[Cibernetico]

Yeah according to Dark Geese, some places in Mexico already have access and are currently playing hacked versions of KOF13.

And I don't know about you guys, but I'm just feeling so damn down that SNK is not announcing anything. I know I'm one of the lucky few who has access to the game(CTF), but I just wish some kind of news would come out. I mean hell, even saying something like "Console version is in the works as we speak" would give everyone a lot more hope than there is now.

After all our hype, I will lol'd hard if XIII gets the ''Samurai Shodown Sen'' Treatement

Would, better than nothing I guess

[MUSOLINI]

man that would be some bs, especially considering sss sucks and xiii doesnt.

[sibarraz]

Well, the ''SSS treatement'' was getting the rom with the same generic interface that SNK puts on their arcade games, a versus, survival and training mode, and that's it, no balances, extra characters or anything, oh, and I forgot to mention that the game will be released 2-3 years after his original appearence

If that happens, I will be happy, I will get the game, but that will not fill our initial hype

Yea we'd have it (a great thing). But It would be 12 all over again: A Good FG but no one to play with for a lot of ppl. At best 13 gets the GGac/Melty treatment: a lot of local streams, tourneys but the majority of the fanbase still cant play eachother.
In NA release, good Netplay is just a fact of life.  I still feel if 12 had good/excellent online, ppl would not hate it as much as they do.

[Ashspiralingblood]

KOF XIII being  release is good news but seriously this game needs to get a 9 or better to give people a reason to care and to buy it. Since a lot of gamers look at scores as the most import thing before getting the game, it does not matter if the game is port perfect if it cant get that a good score, SNKP is screwed. So much is riding on this game they just cannot half ass it. As much as we like the game and knows it's good means shit, this game needs excellent reviews.

@Ashspiralingblood

I haven't seen any news regarding the release of kof XIII and little by little i doubt they will release it anytime soon (especially if the net code ain't fix)... playmore is too busy "making money" with neo geo compilations, ps3 themes and phone games  

Also i am a bit curious why KOF XIII didn't made it to Nesica x Live, and why KOF XIII is not in the main games played at SBO this year, and why arcade operators in japan are taking the game out of the cabs....aaaaaaaaaaaaa  forget it
