KOFUNION KOFXIII Combo Music Video VOL.2

Thanks for posting. I really liked that Mai combo at around 3:30 and the Chin combo at about 2:30. It's nice to think that some of  these characters who really had to work for their damaging combos (Chin, Mai) have been buffed in the console version. On the other hand, it's a bit scary to think that some of these guys have been buffed in the console version (Duolon, Hwa Jai).

[spoiler][/spoiler]KOF XIII - Mr. Karate Neomax

Mr karate changes and neo max
1) gained f+A command attack, canned 3 hit leftrightleft punch that is comboable into and from.
2) Ko'oh-ken is KOF2k2 Takuma style. Both A and C vers will combo. C ver does not guardcrush.
3) C ver Ko'oh-ken has a 'followup dash' (doubletap forward) that lets you cancel the recovery with a short dash forward... corner combo fun here.
4) C ver Kohou (dp+C) is brakable (A+B to brake).
5) new move, Hakyoujin (qcb+P), which is a high or low Geese style counter.
6) regained Shorankyaku (hcb+K) knee rush, with all properties from KOF98.
7) Hienshippukyaku (hcf+K) is an AIR MOVE only.
8) DM's are HSKK, Ryukoranbu, and Marco's big shiny uppercut from Garou MOTW.

KOF XIII - NESTS Kyo neomax

Nests kyo changes and neo max

Changes vs regular Kyo:

1) ex Kototsuki is no longer a command grab, it's a short rush and grab. He does not have the Hikigane (boo).
2) df+D 1hit no longer cancellable
3) close C, f+B combos, and is comboable from ala KOF2k1. This will be his main combo starter.
4) ex Oniyaki does not rise into the air, and only hits 6 times vs 10 from regular Kyo
5) ex firefist is the Dokugami (qcf+C) and the final dp+C hit has the properties of the ex Oniyaki
6) lost Air Orochinagi
7) Gained Mu Shiki, cB, cA, Mu Shiki works ala KOF97/98
8) Neomax IS comboable from close C, f+B, regardless of how the startup looks.
9) 75 Kai (qcf+K,K) is no longer automatic, both K's must be manually input like in old KOF. Range of the move is far shorter than regular Kyo, and it comes out slower like in KOF2k. You can drivecancel it from qcf+C for jugglefuns.
10) rdp+K is the R.E.D Kick as expected, overheads.[spoiler][/spoiler]

How the hell?!

[shinefist]

I got lucky i put youtube on and typed kof and the info just sitting there ? I'm confused myself, i thought i'd quickly put the info up incase it got taken down.

Reading those differences I'm perfectly happy with XIII Kyo and Takuma, doubt I'll get these.

Not sure about Karate but EX Kyo sounds balanced, weaker than XIII Kyo maybe.

Sounds like Karate will have better defence (counters, DP super, breakable DP) but won't be able to pull Takuma's corner of death combos.

mmm, so it seems that Mr Karate will be the combination of Marco and his self form 2002

Someone must had hacked the 360 version, not surprised there. lol

Combos NOWWW
will he be like this?

Kyo 2002UM: Combos

[Rex Dart]

Wow. I have to admit, I'm surprised how quickly this leak happened. Both characters sound cool. I love counter moves, so Mr. Karate sounds quite interesting. I have a hard time picturing EX Kyo's EX Oniyaki not rising into the air. So he just sends a wave a fire into the air? Like a power geyser of fire? Sounds a bit odd.

Aesthetically, I must admit I find all the DLC characters' NeoMaxes disappointing. It's clear they didn't have the time/budget for new animations, so they just filled the screen with energy effects to make up for it. They remind me more of HSDMs/MAX2s in OG 2002, which were mostly just recycled animations. I wish every NeoMax could be as good as Ryo's, with that sexy, sexy animation.

I doubt it.  Someone must have had the dev version and put the footage up.

After EX Kyo finished his NeoMax, was that Goodbye Esaka I heard?

I hope it.

I must say I don't really like any of this NeoMAXs. I have the feeling that K', Shen, classic Iori, NESTS Kyo and Mr.Karate NeoMAXs are all the same. I like more creative NeoMAXs like Andy's one, Iori's one, Mature, Mai or Ryo, for example.

[darkTown2]

sorry but what is hikigane for kyo?
