at that point. Someone should figure out a way to have some sort of info/vid collaboration between China and US if they're liking the stuff out of Arcade Infinity with u guys (here's to hoping a scene pops up at Arcade UFO as well) and slowly build up from there.

In regards to HD mode, can you bypass like 2k2 could?? Like old maxima cB, cB, qcf+BC etc.

And have anyone found certain links into DM via BC bypass aswell? EG : Yashiro cA, cA, sA, sB, qcf x2 BC

Sorry for the late response-- Since all the specials can be bypassed into (qcf+BC), Shen's Ex command throw (hcb~f+ABC), K' j.CD into air.qcb +BCD etc, I'm sure you can do the same DMs as well but I'll confirm.  It's going to be a variation of ABC or BCD.

"Against HD"?, "swearing it off"? I don't recall saying those words? o_0

What I can tell you is that at the moment I use a full HD combo in about 75% of my games

So what was that bs about it not being practical and going for drive cancel instea... wait, forget it, I don't even want to know.

Things will start actually progressing and stuff like you mention happening after the console release, I think. Kinda moot at this point since so few ppl have access.

Cross country rivalry and collaboration would be very cool.

Thanks for the reply.

I guess in the second example was in 2k2 when a DM normally wouldnt be cancellable off a particular attack. In that case, you normally couldnt connect a DM off sB but doing the DM with BC takes more stocks and will connect. I merely was seeing if that is possible since i see alot of DMs dont like if they are non EX dms.

[THE ANSWER]

WOW even Mr.KOF him self was a victim of focusing in landing and an HD combo, well I guess that sets the record straigh. So now that we all understand the point about HD combos we can move on.

In regards to HD Mode bypass, Kensou has a neat one. He can d.B,s.B,s.BC and you will get a standing C in HD mode. IMO a great way to start an HD combo since it's a lot easier to land a d.B than a s.D.

Unused KOF13 stages :


I hope we see them in the console version (i'm not gonna lure lyself, in that case it will be DLC ).

[MUSOLINI]

2 things, i wanna see ALL the unused bg's in the console version.

second, i thought you couldnt get into hd mode unless you cancelled a normal or command normal. not with specials or dm's? am i getting this right? if so wtf.

does this mean terry could do sC 2 hits, powerwave, bc, combo on?

[t3h mAsTarOth...!]

maybe... as long as they remain in hit stun... i believe doing qcf.BC will cause this... and u would probably be able to cancel that into something... or i think after you activate it this way you can't HDC right away... i could be wrong though...

Yeah you can do it from DMs, I did it with Iori before with d.A -> d.B -> f+A -> qcf hcb+BC
Only reason you would do this is for easy neomax after

Just gotta check if it works with EX supers

What we mean by this is that you can't do s.C -> qcf+A -> BC -> continue, the HD won't activate

A shortcut would be s.C -> qcf+BC (C version will come out) -> continue

doing s.C -> BC -> s.C is pretty easy in XIII though (compared to 2k2), it's really not worth doing the shortcut. I think the times shortcuts help if when you're doing CD attacks. We were just pointing out that this is possible.

[THE ANSWER]

So "Ash" (LMAO) you think that with Kensou, would it be possible to do d.B,d.B, qcf+BC and I will get an HD mode rekka?

[Ash]

Hahah, yeah I've been using that since FF12 (Ashe) and KOF2003 (Ash) came out.

Yeah that should work if d.b combos into qcf+C normally. Not sure since I haven't used Kensou in XIII yet. I've only used him in XII which I always did A version.

[THE ANSWER]

kewl I'll try it, hope to see you at AI today.

For Kensou I don't see why d.B x2, qcf ABC wouldn't come out as qcf AC+hyperdrive activated since the strongest strength button (in this case C) usually overrides (hence d.B, s.B, s.BC produces a s.C).  EDIT:  Didn't read above.

Quick question: Is jump CD in 13? I never liked jump CD in the other games because of it's spamability so I hope it isn't in this one.
