EDIT2: Who knew Kyo's Ex hcb+K, a command grab, had so much range.

Command grab? I always thought it was a short-ranged overhead.

Nope the D and B version are like his old running hit-based grab.  The Ex is just a command throw.

That was one heck of a start for the Leona v. Leona match.

Sweet Ralf combo.

Clark needs more tools.

It's so odd, it looks better than the EX grabs of the ACTUAL GRAPPLERS, lol. People are more willing to use Kyo's EX grab than similiar ones from Vice, Clark, or Goro... (And really makes me wish King would get Illusion Dance back, if the EX could be THAT good!)

The Leona thing was awesome, as well as Ralf.

In regards to Clark... I wish you'd see the people make more use of the tools he has, as well. No one ever uses EX Vulcan punches, or his Step, well. Not to mention Air Throws are kept to a minimum. Still would like to see a move or 2 derived out of the Step. They take the time to give him a new tool that's suppose to kinda replace his old runs, but no one uses it... so finding a way to make use of it would be great. Like a Clothesline for a Punch press after Step, and a Shining Wizard (that could be HD canceled at hit 1 into something else) for a Kick press...

Agree with SAB-CA that what Clark has isn't utilized like it should be, but that's a lot of the roster in the videos outside of the high tiers. A patient and even more skilled Clark might've taken two fighters easily. I'm really liking more Maxima use, and how the view takes the fight from one side of the stage to the next and almost back to the beginning, in seconds.

And did it look a little odd how two K's were both light and dark contrasts, like it was intentional?

Fer reals.  I linked it to Leona's thread because of that.

Clark needs more tools.

As an occasional Clark user, he definitely does but a lot of his stronger combos never get showcased.  Several are listed in his thread mainly revolving around [DC]'ing a juggled Vulcan Punch (rapid P) into more Gatling Attack (c.b~f+P).

I use his Ex Vulcan Punch into SABB (hcf+K) when I get a chance (it also does slightly more damage than just doing his UABB, hcb x2 DM) but it's no longer as easy to get in with him.  As for his Step (f+BD), it's not as useful as you think; even a blocked s.CD cancel into Step doesn't put them in stun long enough for mixups.  After a few times most opponents will punish you.

I guess that's just one of the things about this game; unless you're say Kula or K' (or Raiden), you really don't look too special without SOME meter use. And barely anyone is willing to use any on poor Clark. It'd sure be nice to see a Clark on camera do more than "Gattling... into gattling... into reset" over and over.

Good to hear about the damage of EX Vulcan -> SAB being a bit higher, and that you actually use it! (Get vids! ^_^) Oh, but I understand the Step isn't as mighty as one might wish it was (I'd love to be able to do the old KoF XII :df;c *step* ;c *step* ;c *SAB* as a normal blockstring / B&B if it were.) I just wish you'd see people use it to either hop under approaching jumpers, or mix up with normal dash movement / following after retreat rolls. I guess that'd be another thing I'd ask for in the console release: Make STEP recovery better / cancelable, so it can be used at LEAST for blockstrings / meter building pressure combos.

I think the Youku vids even showed a Clark do ;b, s. normal SAB as a combo (something I believe whiffed ALL THE TIME in XII, as Clark's cmnd grab range was the worse in game...), and you don't even see most players using THAT.

I really got the feeling that the player in this vid only used Clark... as a kinda-Ralf, because he really likes RALF. Played in that way, Clark really DOES simply look like a gimped Ralf.

I know most of the users here have problems with Youku so i uploaded these videos on my utube channel:

This is what Professor posted in MMCafe today:

Quick heads up- Voice actor Michihiro Ichiki (the challenger in SNKP's KOFXIII strategy videos), Dune, and a few other players will be streaming live today at 5PM JST/Japan-time. What they'll be playing for a hefty 5 hours, I don't have the foggiest idea. Probably on console.

This will be a stream so it can't be run with the NicoRedirector.

Is it safe to get hype?

[Ashspiralingblood]

They were playing 2002 um

It's always a good day when there are new KCE videos! Courtesy of Smoai:

It's 13 people representing KCE vs. 13 people representing the U-Rushia Army. There are some special rules for this event I couldn't quite make out. But they do say that anything goes (which apparently means Raiden and Mai's throw bug are okay).

EDIT: If I had waited a few more hours, I would have seen some of the other videos he's added now.

Ryo fireball domination.

[THE ANSWER]

Mai's throw bug?

[Rex Dart]

Mai's throw bug?

Apparently, if some characters try to throw Mai when she's in the corner, the throw can simple "miss." I don't know the details well, but remember seeing a video ages ago. To my knowledge, it's never been seen in an actual match video. It's situational enough to be almost a non-issue.

*is watching the 2nd video* OMG... wow...

These matches have to be the best ones I have seen in a while. All of them are great! A incredible Mature match, Awesome King combo, Amazing Ralf, Ryo ownage, Kyo using his NeoMAX as a finisher, wow, so much good stuff.  *keep watching*
