it would be cool if 2 users here could make an online demonstration about the lag input placing a stick in front of the monitor an slowly/moderately pressing buttons.
About the IGN review, read the bolded out part: "The game has seen some improvements to the online component, but it still leaves something to be desired. In our online play session, we experienced some input lag during matches. While this wasn't as gamebreaking an issue as it was in KOF XII, it was enough to be an annoyance in online play. The problem wasn't constant, but it happened enough for us to take note."
Which means that the netcode allows people to play at low delays. The rest, are connection issues of each player, which are the player's fault. These guys don't know how to review netcodes.
i think i will have to wait at least 1 extra week to get the game becasue i would do it like i did with XII.All these rumors about a laggy online are not cool news for me right now.A lot of people say the online is good on dreamcancel....can they show it in a 1 min video?Yeah, I would love to see someone do a test like this.
it should look something like this and both players should have a decent connexion..if possible cable
KOF XII online Test - 13/06/2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFj4jzTKbco#ws)
I am interested in the experience people will have with XIII with a decent connexion.The rest should get better internet.
Here's a quick question. I know the game has an install option, how much space is required for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360?
1 hour, 2 minutes, and a paltry few seconds before the doors to gamestop opens. I'll take the place by storm.
Store Clerk: What would you like to-
Reiki: Take my MONEY! You TEASE! GIVE it to me!
Store Clerk: I'm sorry, this is not that kind of...
Reiki: Not you, you incompetent fool! THE GAME! KOFXIII! I'll take 20! -Drops wad of cash-
So, in a way, it might make sense for IGN's review of the netcode to be harsher than others'.

played quite a few matches and I have to say aside from the 2 bar connection it plays great. Was able to hit bnb's consistently and overall had a great time. But when I played 2 bar connection I was getting hit with random reversal on wake up. Even when I bait it i get hit but like I said 3 and up are good. Avoid 2 bars connection and you will be good.

Figure with the amount of hate on that review
The 8 button thing... If I'm interpreting your meaning correctly, this is probably in SF terms a fireball followed by a yoga-flame (or hurricane kick followed by reverse yoga-flame) and then a button. Really? you could not pull this off?
Many Street Fighter supers are often fireball x 2 and then a button, that's 7 inputs...
Others who have reviewed the game don't seem to have difficulty with this and I'm afraid to ask what other fighting games you are comparing KOF with (Clay Fighter or Shaq-fu?).
Please consider what you're doing before you write something like this. It's clear that you have not spent much time with the game nor do you seem qualified to rate any fighting game other than maybe Smash Bros.
Going by what he wrote in the review, the guy was inputing each ;bk ;db ;dn ;df ;fd etc, individually, how retarded is that, its like the guy never played a FG, or at the very least only MK
Just in case anyone missed out:That review is hilarious. I was hoping it was just one of those joke reviews for laughs, but since it was taken down the reviewer must have been serious.

It’s probably best to start off with the good side of things.

@ZenTzen: when will you get your copy?! (30 nov.?!)
@BioBooster, great, add me then! ;)
i still have a week or two till i get the game ( amazon pre-order + free shipping )
So been trying to play online but keep getting 2 bar connections so i get some pretty bad games lol. Waiting on my friends to get it for some real testing, but before that i ran into 2 people who are using Ex iori... i sent them msg asking how is it possible. I am confused >.<Japanese pre-order bonus is apparently EX Iori. Which is BS because I want him as well.
i still have a week or two till i get the game ( amazon pre-order + free shipping )
Why didn't you get release date shipping? It's usually only $0.99 ;) Kinda odd since 1-day shipping is astronomically more lol
I'm still having trouble unlocking Saiki. I keep doing Target Actions but it's not getting there.
I have to figure out how to get it earlier than street date. Japan has a holiday today.
Think I will pour all my energies in finding out if there are any locations remaining that are willing to break street date...

So it seems the consensus on the netcode is not horrible, but not good either. Once again here comes the 2nd part of the fighting game netcode cycle. Since SNK is obviously supporting the game post-launch with DLC, any chance of post-launch patch support and improving the netcode?
EDIT: Not that I'm complaining, but Iori's been in the front page for a long time. Shouldn't the pic be changed in honor of the console release?
seems like everyone is shitting on this game not because it's bad but because its not holding your hand like a little child what happened to gamers today have we all seriously been reduced to a bunch of lazy casuals who cant do anything for our selves!You can blame Capcom for their "comeback" mechanics. It's how lazy poor players get by in those games. Because XIII lacks that, they complain. Capcom loves their lazy casuals. So now any game that doesn't cater to them is bad.
IDK where the negative feedback is coming from, all the random ppl I've seen on streams so far seem to life/appreciate the game for not being super baby mode.I really love KOF13. Online is not bad especially against ppl around the area. Although when it's yellow bar is good to avoid it.
C'mon , let's not go to the "Fuck Crapcom" route again.It just rubs me the wrong way because it comes off as trying to make the game look bad for giving fans what they wanted and staying true to what makes KOF good.
I keep reading mostly good things the players say about the game, some say the online sucks, other say it's good. Whatever it is i think the overall concensus is that the game is good.
Considering XII was patched and improved upon, I'd expect the same to happen here. I don't have any insider info or anything but it seems likely.
you must be kidding me, the netplay is extremely bad. Every match I feel like Im not even moving cuz of the lag. Netcode is #1 for improving this game.
So far it reminds me to BBCS in which sometimes the match is laggy at first because the game is synchronizing, but after a few seconds it runs better. But the bar system in KOFXIII is not that accurate, sometimes 3 bars might be close to be 2 bars than actually 3 bars.
Considering XII was patched and improved upon, I'd expect the same to happen here. I don't have any insider info or anything but it seems likely.
I see, thanks. Well the netcode is not really good for me, played with an online guy whom lives about 3KM from me and its not satisfactory. As a kof fan, I will have to admit UMVC is slightly better. Just to clarify, does buying (PS3) R1 games affect the netcode since I'm under Asia?
I'm running on 2wire 2700, any more information you need?
Who's a good character to use against runaway shoto players?
Yep, a lot of them online. I think Shen and Clark fuck their shit up big time but I'm always open for more, Duo Lon looks interesting.
Maybe a newbish question, but can someone explain how the bar indicators work? I joined a room that was listed as four bars, but then we each had two bars next to our names. The match was pretty laggy, and certainly one of the worst I've played.
Anyone else experienced this?

Anyway, I'd call the netcode decent. It's possible to find fun matches. I'd love if they could kill the input lag during some of those "almost good" matches.
Quick question: Is it possible to see how many bars you got? or only how many your opponent has? And: Let's say I find a guy with a perfect connection.. is it possible to have more matches with him or as soon as the match finishes you have to re-queue?
Does anyone know how to unlock chapter 28 in story mode?
So I just ran into someone online who used EX iori, I thought he's not out yet?
I have to figure out how to get it earlier than street date. Japan has a holiday today.
Think I will pour all my energies in finding out if there are any locations remaining that are willing to break street date...
Good luck. Believe me I've looked. And I've already Amazon JPN preordered it.

They don't really need to improve a lot, network wise, the game runs great online, it just needs to be "refined" to be better.
If they patch the game, I would love to see the following things changed:
1. Button Config (Doubt this will happen)
2. No "NOW LOADING" icons if you install the game. (Possible and simple?)
3. Add 8 player Lobbies. (Doubt this will also happen, but I hope it does.)
4. HUD Positioning option. (I hope they add this)
5. Voiceover for cutscenes and dialogs. (The STORY mode would had been better with it IMO, even if it's Japanese only. But Doubt it will happen)
P.S. Wishlist FTW! lol
heres something ive been wondering. if you have mod ps3 or 360, you dl this game and play it for free online. are you even able to use the ex characters online because they shouldn't be out yet? seems pirates really do live the good life if so.

Where's the bug report section?
I got something Atlus needs to fix:
Terry's Power Geyser and Trinity Geyser both do not all hit in the corner. It's incredibly annoying when the changes posted by Atlus say they fixed it so all of them hit, but in the corner, that's not true. Whoever can get in touch with Atlus, please tell them this or I'll do it myself in a formal letter.
Yay advertisements.
Regarding Terry's SDM Power Geyser, I'm pretty sure in nearly every game where he could do it, hits would whiff in the corner. Real Bout, MOTW, almost every major KOF game.
Out of curiosity, how are you liking console Terry?
anybody think that saiki is a little too strong?
i dunno maybe i just suck but it seems like you dont have to do near as much work with saiki to get decent damage compared to everyone elseanybody think that saiki is a little too strong?
Honestly, after playing with you, I feel the opposite. Saiki has no decent hitconfirms from lights, and no command normal on the ground to make up the difference. His zoning is honestly average because he only has one true horizontal fireball which means the opponent doesn't have to respect different fireball speeds coming on the ground.
He's got filthy tools and some potential, but I think he'll settle in middle of the pack after all is said and done unless people find some crazy crap with him.
Out of curiosity, how are you liking console Terry?
I love the Real out cr.A, cr.C chain, it's fun to harass people with that and Crackshot, but for the most part I'm focused on Shen/Billy/Takuma. I was planning on using Ralf and Maxima, but man... alot of effort getting in and staying in with those two, and I still haven't gotten down their BnB combo's yet.
I would only accept an EX MOTW Terry, if they add ARE YOU OKAY to his Buster Wolf. If not...I would not be a happy panda.
And I'm not gonna lie, Kensou seems like top 5 at least right now in console. EASY ass hitconfirms from his lights, great zoning/DP game, his corner pressure is just FILTHY, he can stagger lows into rekkas, he can just come up and normal throw you and combo off of it, he can do hop pressure, AND he has a 1 frame Command Grab DM, along with good FB pressure, and the ability to stagger the gap between his second and third rekka ala Fei Long to catch buttons, and he can get you into the corner rather easily.
Honestly, I can't really think of a flaw in Kensou's game.
If it weren't for the fact I decided to pick Kensou before the buffs, I might feel bad using him. Oh well.
I still got Hwa and Saiki to feel better. Maybe King if I REALLY need the extra zoning.

-The staff are enjoying the reviews and comments from overseas.
-They've seen the Atlus combo videos and wanted to do something even better, but they're overdoing it and it didn't make it on time for this week's update.
-So instead, they're showing off the invitation envelope which'll hold the Flame Iori DLC card, and they're also showing the box (bulkier than real product fake item) and that'll be used by stores for promo.
-They're also mentioning that some XIII related contents are up on PSNStore and the X360Marketplace. In reality, it's only available in the X360Marketplace. 2 Themes, each 240 MSP.
here's some fan art. :) Having some great ranked matches! One finished in a Double K.O.! And another started the match with a Double K.O! So great catching them with Neomaxes!!! ^_^
it's like they're turning a blind eye to the netcode because they made their doe and the game's getting 8's. if the netcode was really good it would have been getting 9's instead and they'd be making more money and an even better name for themselves. it's DC's turn to let them know we ain't pleased, don't be a bitch and let nippons know.well i would think they would've have at least heard something about it if they have looked at the reviews

According to the Professor word on netplay out of Japan isn't too hot either, I'm sure they know there are problems. If they will actually do anything about them is another story.
Unfortunately that's how most of them are.
Honestly, i come to expect NO changes from any netplay. At this point I believe companies just push the game out the door, get their money, and are done with it until they release DLC.

We can always hope, Netherrealm has shown great support for the latest mk. There's ofcourse a bigger chance of snkp following in line with arcsys or capcom as far as updates and dlc goes, but we can always hope.
Is there console frame data anywhere?

so apparently i have to teach my friends how to KoF
this outta be fun
One of my friends says that his guy has the EX characters and stages, but that it doesn't let you run a standard character and the EX version on the same team. So like....no Takuma/Ryo/Mr. Karate or Kyo/Goro/NESTS Kyo, etc.
Is this true? Can anyone confirm it?
It's true just like every other KOF game.
Hahaha, SNK like PS3 more that they even forgot to change the buttons for X360.

thats fucking bs, these f@ggots @ FZ fucked us over man. friend of mine bought his copy yesterday in nijmegen from a gamestore (only 360 copy there, had to wait an hour for it but he got it, unlike the 4 or 5 other people that didn't get it since there was only 1 copy). last time i order from FZ, i even called their store yesterday and they said the gme is in the store. on their site it says pre order and receive game on relase date, my ass.
also trials are fuck8ng hard, as soon as those hd mode combos start. im fuck8ng up. smoking weed and doing the hd mode trils dont work, way too long to remember. some of them future over 20 moves, dont do these under the influence.
Trials are hard as hell that means just one thing, inputs are as strict as ever which is a good thing IMO.

At this moment he has the trials of Kyo and Mai, and has some thoughts or small tips about the hardest ones. This is a heads up to those who are crazy about the trials.
One last thing, I LOVE CHIN!!!! I havent faced him online yet and i love how ppl underestimate him. He is always in my main team <3
Trials are hard as hell that means just one thing, inputs are as strict as ever which is a good thing IMO.
yeah good thing for those of us who have good execution in fighting games and want to compete...
the same can't be said for casuals. ( i personally like it though)

Chin is hugely underestimated which I'm ok with :)I second that! You are not the one thinking this!... ^^ ;)
So much comraderie for Chin players...I'm envy that.

An MIT Socks Step shows us this data from a hex editor? It's probably nothing important nor hinting and probably either was just characters they planned on having but didn't make it (a la Iori 98/Billy data in KOFXII) or just trophy data-related.

The .lua files are the ones from the scripts (on screen text and nothing else), the one that changes on the movies when you set the language to something else. In other words that much is just their dialogs from story mode.
In order to be planned unused characters they not only need need to be the same type of files that the "characters" are, but they also need to be grouped among them. Considering XIII cycle of development, I wouldn't be surprised if there is no extra planned character left out at all, regardless of we having the Arcade or Console version.
Why I can't color Diana and Foxy when I color Kula?! =(

Like: "Bestel King of Fighters XIII en krijg de Limited Artbook + Music CD gratis."
Probably tomorrow or the day after. After i hit the lab for a bit we should try and test out the netcode.
Muso, I thought you didn't want the CDs because they weren't AST.

Trying to be on-topic, some may say "DUHH" but i think Adel was seriously going to be in the game:

Hell, he even has what appears to be an uncolored winning art:

Actually i prefer Panty a tiny bit more than Stocking, and it's a tie between Scanty and Kneesocks.
I did this avatar because Jenet is not in the game, and i think she would be a nice Panty. That, and Kula is one of my mains, and making an Stocking alt for her makes some sense.

so is it true that the game is rather dead on the xbox compared to the ps3?

Not really. Hell, I know with SF4, I'm pretty sure that 360 is played on more than PS3. Dunno about other games, it's usually a mix.

isn't that because capcom are a bunch of f@gs that can't even properly program a game to be identical on both systems? oh yes they are, the actually made the 360 one better when it didn't have to be. on that note my respect for capcom is no more untill they actually release something worthwhile and not try to fuck me with dlc that should have been in the game for free.
wtf, how that bug happen?
On the subject of bugs, this may have been discussed before but has anyone else had story mode totally crash on them? I had the entire game freeze right at the ending, couldn't even use the PS3 home button. I know I shouldn't really be concerned about story mode in a competitive fighting game, but it is nevertheless a bug, and I'd like to know if I'm not the only one that has experienced it.

Honestly, the game froze and crashed on me just once after I unlocked Billy. It was at a black screen heading towards the main menu and I had to manually turn my ps3 off...
I think I may have encountered another bug. I was in practice mode with Iori (vs. Kyo) and did his DM in the corner, canceled into his NeoMax. I don't remember what hit it was, but the NeoMax seemed to "miss" Kyo. It was as if the move just passed right through him. He was just standing there was Iori recovering.
I wasn't able to recreate it, however.
When is iori out?dec 6th i think for 5 bucks
Here's a good question for our tourney players: Do you absolutely have to know Neo Max combos in order to be competitive? Just curious if there's anyone that's done well in tournies (like Top 8) without using the extended Neo Max combos for select characters.

Just curious if anyone else is experiencing it. Is there an unusual amount of droppers on this game? I thought I was playing SVC again. One guy really befuddled me. He put on his message before the match starts "Don't hold back." Then drops when I have him down 2 characters.
Are the droppers getting away with not recording a loss, or are they in withdrawal from Capcom installing punishments for dropping?
So about how much time have you guys spent in training mode since release? :)

Hey, did anyone at Levelup upload Bala's matches from the stream to Youtube yet? I want to study his Billy Kane.
I forgot to say this but nice trolling with Clark's B Sab, Kane.

For top 8 in tourneys is a must, like Saitsuofleaves explained before it wasn't that necessary because of the 3 meter requirement but now in the arcade version you need to know them.
Just got it my copy today, can't wait to play it! :)

I'm going to politely disagree here. Yes, in the console the NeoMaxs have lower requirements and from producer Yamamoto-san himself, he wanted encourage NeoMaxes being used. However, it's still up to your playstyle and character. Remember, most characters don't use NeoMaxes outside of HD combos so if you don't normally do them, you probably won't in the console either. For what it's worth, I tied 7th at Evo and I never used NeoMax combos.
Wait, when people are arguing about "NeoMax" combos, are they really talking about HD combos? Because learning the NeoMax would just be learning one more move wouldn't it?

I've been running into players online that get the SF4 Ultra mentality and love to throw out a random Neo Max.
In one match, first round, I was using Andy vs Kyo, and I threw a EX fireball, didn't realize he had 3 stocks already and I ate a Neo Max lol. Full screen punish too. In that same match though, he got really antsy with Vice and just threw out her NeoMax for no reason, which I was waiting for, and killed her for it.
Okay, I wouldn't consider the first example you mentioned random.
But yeah, maybe some Neo Maxes have their uses for punishing shit or as some kind of reversal.
Let me guess, are playing on PSN? I hear there's lot of quitters there. I don't think the system to punish them is severe enough.
Not really. I only drop when it's really, really laggy. And I usually drop at the character select screen and there's obvious lag.

I knew he was gonna get impatient and try to throw it out.
I rarely use Neo Maxes. I'd rather save the meter for EX, I can do just as much damage with a simple BnB without blowing all my meter on 1 move.
Question...why were you able to counter that Kensou special in the first place? What I mean is, what the hell was that Kensou thinking to actually decide to throw out that move raw?
Eh, if you use Pad and the Shoulder buttons for EX moves it's a little off. Which is weird because I use the Shoulder buttons for EX moves in 3rd Strike and have never had problems until 3SOE came out.i only use my shoulder buttons for blow back and hd activation sooo yeah

I'm guessing that's a trial combo...and I'm never gonna try it for two reasons.
One...that seems stupidly annoying to do.
And two...fuck Kula.

anyone else think the inputs in this game can be a bit wonky sometimes?
for some reason i seem to have a somewhat hard time pulling off kyo's orochinagi and even having some trouble doing dp motions with robert and a few others maybe its just me when ever i played 98,02 or hell even kof xii i didn't have any problems
Maxima I think is going to be low tier.
I think Maxima is the shit, he was pretty strong in the arcade, and still is. He may be slow, but his guard points give him the necessary tools to slowly make his way close enough to his opponent, and EX Aerial Vapor Cannon is amazing. I usually punish what I can with s.C/s.D into hcb+B, and off that you can get more damage with a super.
I might end up being King/Shen/Maxima. I'm wondering though if I should use King as my 2nd character, because I can actually pull off her HD combo, Shen's I can't quite get out yet. I love having Maxima as my anchor because of the damage he can do off a simple 3 hit combo.
I've been playing with Ralf more too, his standing CD is really good... plus it's kara-cancelable. I've been using s.CD kara into qcb+P to approach, works pretty good.
Kim is another character I may use more, I've always been a fan of Kim in the Fatal Fury games, but rarely played him in KOF, save for like in KOF95 lol. Hangetsuzan being punishable hurts him a bit, and his Max Cancel off his Hou'ou Kyaku into Neo Max doesn't bring out much damage compared to other characters. If only he could cancel the Hou'ou Kyaku finisher into Neo Max... everytime I tried I could only do it after the first few several hits.
Also playing with Andy more, I love his s.B, s.D chain combo, it's awesome.
This game is SVC level strict on controls. SVC took me a year to fully master the controls, even simple inputs because of how strict it is. All the commands work properly, but it allows NO sloppiness in execution. Give it time, especially with online lag it will take a lot of practice to get used to this system.Nah. I disagree. I've played SVC and XIII is better than that but KOF has always been against sloppy inputs so you have to be spot on. I remember playing 00 after playing XI. 00 was strict. I had to practice basic qcf motions. Something I was able to do for more than 10 years. XIII just has some madness with characters that demand you use shortcuts to get what you want. Mix in some late cancels and links and it's a pain.

12 new vids of combos cool...
One question. Maybe you have talked about this already... Is there any way to refuse a match when you get challenged in arcade or practice? I will like to refuse fight against 1 bar people, but I do know how (i press O button, or select, or start, or triangle, but nothing works and match starts)..
thanks in advance :)
So, for those that play online (doesn't matter if it sucks or not): who are the most used/overused characters there? I'm guessing Kyo and K', but i want to hear something for those that played the game.
Just curious.

We have been carefully monitoring dialogue and feedback regarding the online play in THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII. While the general consensus is that KOF XIII is one of if not the best entry in the series and that the netcode is noticeably improved over the previous iteration, we're saddened to hear that many of our fans are frustrated with their online experiences thus far.
Just as it was in the months prior to the game's release, we will do everything within our influence to help developer SNK PLAYMORE test and continue to improve KOF XIII's network performance. To this end, the detailed feedback we've received is invaluable.
We greatly appreciate the dedication of players who are diligently reporting their online experiences, and we sincerely thank the community for all of the passion and support it has offered us and THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII.

Man aint that the truth, thing is I want to brush up before going to NEC and online is my only option atm since no one upstate ny plays the game. I feel like I'm wasting time playing online most of the time. Don't get me wrong I played a couple of solid players but alot other rely on online gimmicks to win matches. Sorry for the rant but I'm a bit sad i don't have a scene to improve locally.Man it's really hard to respect players online. people will do random Neo Maxes and EX to win.

It's a problem when you take a BS 500 DMG for the stupidest NM throwout ever. Plus since the online isn't that great, it makes something as simple as running up a bit useless since you can't block in time.

Got to play my first flaming Iori match. He hit me with 2 fireballs and. Just couldn't process what was going on, but when the uppercut went off I snapped out of my stupor. Can't wait to buy him.

Dude...literally VGChartz.yeah i know but still
Anyway, last post before I put my laptop away and head for Philly. Away!
another quick note, when going into hd mode at 3 bar connections the game stops for a sec and lags even more, making the easiest hd combos a bitch. this probably worse with 1 and 2 bars ( i feel for u peeps). how is it with 4 bars?

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but it seems appropriate. I missed the first day of NECXII, and I want to know if there is a place where I can watch the non-live stream of KOFXIII before the top 4 tomorrow.

Welcome to DreamCancel Death Shinobi. Can't find the video right now; when I do, it'll be posted up in the Tournament - Results (http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0) thread. That and the Upcoming Tournaments/Events threads is the place to check out that stuff.
If you'd like, you can introduce yourself in the Meet & Greet (http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?board=9.0) section.

I thought you guys up in Albany get the cops called for mashing so hard?That was a pretty funny story. It was an inside joke cause of a party we threw that attracted the cops attention. We haven't used that thread in a long while. Surprised you know it.
It was definitively hype. Although I felt like I was the only one clapping like an idiot lol. It's too bad I wasn't able to play you.Don't worry dude I was clapping along with you watching the stream.

And by people to play with, we mean people you know IRL and will go over to your house to play it. If you try to play that shit online, you will realize any sadness you felt over the XIII netcode is nothing compared to what 02UM did.Man I don't have an xbox but I heard stories about 2k2um netcode.

If you felt that much saddness for 02UM, what the heck did you feel for 98UM and MOTW?!?
Saw you guys bringing the destruction to NEC on day 1 - way to rep!
Does anyone have a link to the archive for day 2? It eludes me despite angrily searching for it.
Flame Iori seems to be up on XBL already, will most likely be up later today on PSN.Yep, he's mine! xD
Yeah, and honestly idk if I even want to buy him. My only impulse to do so at this moment is because of my need to play Rekka characters...
i like iori with out his flames more i rarely ever used iori in any other kof til 12 came outYeah, and honestly idk if I even want to buy him. My only impulse to do so at this moment is because of my need to play Rekka characters...
Are you kidding me? The rekkas alone are reason enough to buy him. For me the flames are just a bonus!

they're not releasing all 3 together, these fucking bitches? they're already on disc and people who pirated the game are playing them for free. gayest shit ever, might as well release all 3 since they're on disc and finished as well. this some straight up bs, i should have been like luffy.
Anyway,KOF 2002 UM has been in the xbox live arcade for a while...I really recommend getting the japanese ps2 version if you can cause it has features that are lacking from the 360 version which include color edit, the option of 3D stages, and OG 2002. But if you don't care for those features then the 360 version is just fine. 02UM is definitely my favorite KOF after XIII.
Is it worth buying?
EX KYO!!! Wut!?!?!?!??! New character added!

While on the subject of rekka characters, EX Kyo will definitely be purchased by yours truly, with all of his glorious rekka chains.
so i trolled a guy with kensous taunt earlier todayDoes his taunt have more recovery than any of his fireballs?
Not too important, but I noticed that EX Iori has all new intro dialogue in arcade mode. It's nice that they went that extra step too make the character distinct from regular Iori.

They will all say in unison "oh f*** me!"Not too important, but I noticed that EX Iori has all new intro dialogue in arcade mode. It's nice that they went that extra step too make the character distinct from regular Iori.
Now I can't wait for Ryo, Yuri and Robert's reactions on Mr. Karate.
About freaking time they announced another DLC character!
I do hope we get Mr. Karate before the year ends. Would that be asking for too much?
Besides having his original stance, which version of the character is Mr Karate?
That sounds amazing, can't wait to see more of him.Besides having his original stance, which version of the character is Mr Karate?
Like a mishmash of one of his older versions with Marco I believe, also with Geese-Styled Counters.
But I had to ask, how long it takes to a company to re-stock a game?
so anybody think we will get any more dlc after we get these last 2 ex chracters?

Um, well a UM probably wouldn't be for another couple of years. Besides, we usually save UM's for Dream Matches don't we?i guess i probably should've made myself a little more clear
I mean, if we do a UM, they can't just add EX characters and call it a day without some annoyance, they'd probably have to do new sprites for new characters which would take a while.
so anybody think we will get any more dlc after we get these last 2 ex chracters?
why does iori have to be a black pimpso anybody think we will get any more dlc after we get these last 2 ex chracters?
Considering the game has been selling really well it's possible now. If it was going to do just 'okay' sales which I think everyone was being realistic about, probably no extra DLC characters.
A little annoyed that EX Iori was on the disc and I paid $4.99 for a 6kb unlock... but hey, SNKP/Atlus did a damn good job, EX Iori is a black pimp, amazing character. I will still be buying Mr. Karate even though there's no doubt he's on the disc but if they fix netcode I'll buy EX Kyo just as a show of thanks.
As far as more DLC characters, my best guess is either Adelheid or Rock Howard... and yes I will bring it up again that SNKP could use Kyo's body as a base to get Rock in there. I wouldn't mind, and I can finally make a Rock Howard combo video using the song Crawling by Linkin' Park.
Because.
they better release all 3 by then these fucking bitches. i should have went with the US version, damn it.
the people demand yamazaki, if not him geese. i could live with oswald as well, but the people demand otherwise, and you know, we all people.
So they finally gave Nest Kyo Dp's and Rekkas guard point again. Now I'm hype. Havent seen that since 98.
so i have like a 15 loss streak against saitsuofleaves i has a sad now :(
dude i really HATE your saiki and i have a really hard time keeping up with your kensou even when im using him myselfso i have like a 15 loss streak against saitsuofleaves i has a sad now :(
Nah, you got 2 on me...though it was when I was fucking around with EX Iori and Beni...especially since I have no damn clue how to play Beni.
And yeah, EX Kyo has Guard Point on both his start Rekkas...and someone brought up one of his subsidiaries too, but I'm not sure which one.

Shows NEST Kyo moveset and has a combo video. Dunno what it says though.
Is EX Kyo out yet?
Man I wish I can go to SCR. I'm assuming all of WC is gonna be there. Hope the games breaks 100 entrant.

I am confused by this as its a saturday.
I'm not sure if anyone else knows, but button config IS on the character select screen, just not obvious. Just press the cancel button on character select screen in versus mode, there is an option to change button config. Also I'm not trying online again until the patch at least. Really bad connections even with a green bar.

So KOF XIII did not win the VGAs and I'm pretty sure I know why.
Viacom has stocks in the Mortal Kombat franchise. Not only that, they own MTV. This is easily the most obscure conjob I've ever seen, but hey, it's like playing the "Kevin Bacon" game.
Anyway, bummed about that. We seem to have come in second though.
Maybe I should revise to say, at least in the US it seems dead. Only matches available off of searching were 2 bars or lower, and making a room for two hours, not one entrant.

I know how you feel. I played a lot of matches vs my friend and it bumped my player level up pretty high. If I wait 30 mins for someone to join, chances are they leave immediately anyway.
Me and you should play together, we connected decently didn't we? I won't use Kula, I promise.
Even though that could had made a diferenceanyone who can play a video game shouldn't give a rats ass about the VGA's and personally as much as i love KoF i think mortal Kombat deserved the win ive honestly enjoyed it a lot more than both games content wise (inb4 rage)
1) This are the VGA, for god's sake, wwe all stars was there
2) Plus MK9 was really popular, in a local survey here, the game won by big difference
Marvel, could have won if weren't for the whole umvc 3 fiasco, street fighter is fading in obscurity, and KOF XIII is an incredible niche game, mk9 winning is not weird for me in any sense
Honestly, people shouldn't care for the VGA awars, at least the FGC

I believe we played the other day and I left after one match. :) The connection was weird that day that I was dropping combos left and right.
Perhaps we can play again some other time?
Yes, definitely. I feel like it has more to do with my cable internet connection. My speed is unstable when my neighbors start streaming netflix during peek hours and weekends.
Yeah, sure. It's possible we live too far apart for a decent connection. Add me on Xbox and we'll find out.

Depends on matchups and health of your second character and how well he builds meter.
So... anyone else's player data get erased lol?
I was playing a level 8 and all of a sudden after one match he turned into a level one, mine was still the same. I then turn the system off but when I come back a little while later I'm in the same boat, I'm a level 1 and all my stats have started from scratch.
Billy and Saiki are still unlocked but all the unlocked colors have been lost.
Fuck.
If anyone still cares about reviews, the guy from the fighters generation gave a 9.1 to this game.

I was counting the hours to get my hands on NEST STYLE Kyo....Fuck!!!!!
I don't liked the reasons that they gave for kof xiii as fighting game of the year, it was a surprise, but the reasons where really bad, specially the netcode one
I'm just cynical to all this awards sadly, I just hate them since there is a lot of shady reasons behind them
I'd like to be able set HUD position.
Adding on, I would really like savable default settings for practice mode.

Good one, forgot about it. But yeah, having the settings in Practice mode save should save us the annoyance to change the settings each time. I mean, I can do it fast, but is nice to have it saved.
Talking about being able to find true 3bar~4bar connections and hanging out in your own room for hours.
^ It would be awesome to have the "press button" configuration, but if they didn't add it after hearing all the fans request. I doubt they would add that after a patch, maybe in the next game. But as everybody here, I wish it was implemented already.
I have a feeling they're actually tweaking the netcode. In all honesty, if the patch did just what they said it did, would it not be a lot quicker and a lot easier to just put that in rather then have an unknown date for something that should feasibly be a quick patch?
I just hope they improve the delay in even Green connections.
And disable stun in Training.

Weeell, Looks like there's KOFXIII Gamerpics on the XBL Marketplace.
Anyone get either of them yet, I'll hold off on it for now until I know who is in each one so I don't end up getting one that doesn't actually have who I want to use in it. That would be pretty unfortunate.
Oh, and yeah, about time I made an account here.
Have a Chibi Ash Crimson Gamer Pic...enjoy the conversations with your friends who don't know KOF when you say he's a guy.ash is a very sexy guy who i would love to take to dinner and a movie
All I can say is...inb4shion.all dat rule34
I might use him on 1st and replace Terry because as much as I like Terry I fucking love characters that have ways of going right through projectile spamming.http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive/b/302995652 (http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive/b/302995652)
Off topic: Can someone link me Bala beasting at SCR? Is it in the levelup archive's yet?
I got lost in your mom last night.that must have been horrible anyway back on topic im thinking about dropping robert as much as i love using him in past kof games for some reason i just cant seem to do anything with him in a match i've tried with multiple people of various skill levels and the the result always seems to be the same
;)
I focused on Ryo because he was the less used of the two and Robert seemed a little too good. Socal guys said the same thing in that one levelup stream, going on and on about how he's top tier. Though its funny how none of them bothered with him during SCR. Same with Hwa Jai, they said that he's top but he didn't do much worth mentioning in SCR. So yeah, I still maintain that, so far, this is one of the best balanced fighting games to date.dont really rely on much knowledge from old games much generally because i forget it in like 10 minutes but like baka said robert has all the makings of a solid character but a lot of his shit is kinda risky as of right now im gonna try to focus on find a replacement for him sure ill still use him time to time but just not right now which is kinda dissapoint because in almost every other kof i played he was a mainstay in my team well heres to hoping we get 96 rob as a ex
Now that I feel more comfy with Ryo I'll focus on Robert but, honestly, based on the few matches I've played with him I can't see myself not doing well with him. He's like a swiss knife of sorts, pretty much has everything. Fireball, DP, command throw, air special, invincible and super fast neomax (that can also be done in the air), very safe db f+B special, etc. Add to this easy hit confirms via f+B and f+A, which also work starting from lows, and you have a very solid character.
Maybe you guys are playing him way too much like in the previous years? Dunno. Most probably just have to adjust to his XIII style instead of relying on past knowledge, which is the same with a lot of the cast due to all the refreshing that took place.
I'm not saying he's bad. Best way to describe him is like Kula. She has good stuff and if you break her down and really start to use the combo system she can be a beast, however just using the specials in a footsies game will get you killed if you are not careful. Her shoryuken hits aren't very reliable (meaning unless you have the shoryuken mastered on how it hits you are going to whiff on your opponent a lot). Her slide is very punishable, her freeze breath is easy to get inside of, and her psudo hurricane kick to iceball isn't nearly what it used to be. However if you figure her out all together she is a beast.
Robert is a lot of the same. The shoryuken isn't nearly as accurate as it used to be, the hurricane kick (Hien shenpuken I know the names but I talk SF to simplify) is not safe at all, the fireball is average at best on properties, the dive kick is not nearly as safe as in past game also is a bit slower giving the opponent more time to adjust to it, and Ryoko Ranbu can be knocked out of pretty simply taking away one of the bigger advantages he had in the past games. That all being said put all his stuff together and I'm sure you can do serious damage w/ him cause he has many different attacks to work from, but on a simple footsies level, he's not very safe to use. I'll probably pick him up and work harder on him eventually, but there are a lot more characters to master that are more my style that I can work my way into the combo system while still feeling comfortable playing footsies with.
The balance is ridiculously good on this game cause I've watched the different streams of the game and the players seem to change their mind on who they want to use tournament by tournament. I mean do you remember a SF game where the players were picking totally different people from one tournament to the next?
It's understandable though.
Okie dokie.
But anyways, does anyone know if SNKP has any plans to update the arcade version of the game with the console changes? Or is the arcade game considered obsolete to them now and not worth the resources to update?
Wow, I just realized. DC had what, around 100-200 as their max of people on at one time?
SCR Weekend, we got 400.
I bet they are doing a Arcade Update, maybe with the DLC characters already playable and some extra characters that might appear for DLC on consoles. Well this is me wishing for more Characters.

I'm actually hoping something like this will happen. considering how little play the cab at Next Level saw, I think an update to it may get some people playing it more often. All I would have to do is deal with the japanese stick and buttons. But I do hope it happens and it wouldn't surprise me if it did considering how many players who played the arcade version in Japan there were.
And when I see people doing that I yell at the screen and call them a woman.
It's true too. ;)
And, real talk...I probably wouldn't buy it, and I don't even like zoners that much. I mean, the closest I get to them is Rose in SF4 and Hawkeye and they're closer to anti-zoners than anything...
But seriously, use your order select more wisely and maybe Clark won't get cockblocked so much. Either that or pick Kyo or Iori who don't believe in bad matchups.
And it's really weird to suddenly see it in KOF where it didn't really exist in 98/2000/02.
It's necessary, but it's not a dominant strategy. Fireballs in KOF generally have more recovery than fireballs in say, Street Fighter. If you jump over a fireball you can punish the opponent that threw it easily, not the other way around. Then a number of characters have moves that can punish fireballs completely or have projectile invincibility, guard point, etc. Some can often punish from a long distance as well.
Just one more thing I like about SNK games over most other fighting games. I much prefer fighters where being in your opponents face is where you want to be.
You're right. If I were to make a fighter (A hybrid of 3rd Strike and Last Blade) I would not have any projectiles. I am dead serious.

What about lobbies?
lobby? to bring more delay in an online match? no, thanksthis shouldn't be a problem SNK should lrn2netcode so we can have lobbys. as much as i love those bros its a pretty shitty excuse to cut that out because they wanted a good netcode and still gave us a shitty one anyway
I hope snk includes a rematch option after match online with their patch.
What about lobbies?
One thing that made me hate SSFIV is endless lobby, it made finding matches really hard because everyone just has 4-8 man lobbies open, so you have to wait a long time just for your turn in which the host might randomly kick you i rather just have player matches like in MVC3 with a rematch option after you finish a match and quickly go at it rather than picking characters all over again.

Thanks for the link. Now we know who's top tier.
I'm calling it. He's #1 and I would bet my left nut on him being top.
Well I expect you to pay up when you're wrong.
Mr. Karate can break his dragonpunch to Neo Max... damn...
He has a lot of tools to be top.
Well I expect you to pay up when you're wrong.
Have you ever seen the ending to Old Boy?
He seems really good...I just don't see him as top, but again, who the hell knows? If I'm not mistaken, you were riding 98 Iori's nuts before he came out, proclaiming him as top, and his EX FB as OP...but he's fallen off as a good point...and still not as good as Claw Iori.

DPs man, DP's. And are the Terry's at least good?
Anyway, every time I think I improve in this game, I still get stomped for free. It's gonna take me another 6 months just to get to mediocre at this point.
Anyway, every time I think I improve in this game, I still get stomped for free. It's gonna take me another 6 months just to get to mediocre at this point.
I'm feeling this way as well. I've found a few online sparring partners who have consistently good connections with me. They stomped me for free the first times I played them. As I've improved, I'm hanging better but still coming up short. I'm very close to finally having a team so hopefully that helps. It can be very frustrating to see other players adapting and improving so much faster than I am.
My Record is like 175-125...unfortunately there's a stretch there where I'm 2-40...against two people.most of those matches you won were the ones where you kept stomping my face in the ground

After seeing how EX Iori turned out. I'm quite confident that SNK will make him balanced. I mean, EX Iori had everything that he ever had good into one version of himself that has made him top tier in various KOFs and he's still not God tier?
I think we'll be fine.
Playing online hurts bad. I can't even get simple combos to get going. I'm too used to having offline reactions. This patch needs to hurry the hell up.
Fireball spamming is a legit strategy online and offline, you just have to do it right.
Fireball spamming is a legit strategy online and offline, you just have to do it right.
Fireball Zoning offline? Yes. Fireball Spamming.(a la throw fireballs as fast as you can) offline? No. Closest you can get is Ash and even then you can close distance pretty fast and work around the flip kick. KOF really punishes fireball spamming on a great connection or offline. That being said fireball zoning is a fun thing to work with on KOF cause you have to think about the concequences in throwing out a fireball. The lack of safety in the fireball maes it more exciting to use it rather then run away and spam being a viable option.
Zoning and spamming are the same thing in my book, "zoning" just meaning that your doing it right.
yet again, it's unlikely a netcode patch. It's gonna be a Matchmaking Patch, nothing more, nothing less.
I spam fireballs with King. =)
yet again, it's unlikely a netcode patch. It's gonna be a Matchmaking Patch, nothing more, nothing less.
If they're taking this long, I doubt it's a simple matchmaking patch. One could hope.
If you're "doing it right" you're probably not unleashing the incessant barrage most people think of when they think "spam," since that stuff don't work in KOF.
What's wrong with the netcode? (haven't touched online yet).
So a friend asked me to get him KoF as a late christmas present (since he does really want kof). However since he didn't specify WHICH KoF, you guys think it might be a bit evil if he found out that I did get him KoF...12?
Right now, sounds like it's worth the prank

Drop the game then. SNKP already has your money, I'll doubt they'll care.
We all knew the risks from the start, I figured from the beginning the netcode would be awful. If you don't have a scene near you for the game, then you have no reason to keep it.
I'm not trying to sound like a douche or anything but if you can't play the game as you want, there's no reason to torture yourself and keep it.
Actually, no, you can't guarantee that, not with KOF. SF, Marvel, MK, hell maybe even Tekken. KOF, no, it isn't that easy.I pretty much forced KOF into an existing scene. Took a hell of amount of effort.
Some of you guys need to find an offline community. I can almost guarantee there is a community (however small it maybe) in or around the city you live. I can't even stand playing sf4 or marvel online, kof is IMPOSSIBLE to play online.

Actually, no, you can't guarantee that, not with KOF. SF, Marvel, MK, hell maybe even Tekken. KOF, no, it isn't that easy.I pretty much forced KOF into an existing scene. Took a hell of amount of effort.

And it's not as simple as just getting people into them. If you told any random gamer the effort it takes to get into a FG, let alone one like KOF, they'll run straight the other way. Most want instant gratification they can get in things like FPS games among others.
It's pretty hard getting people into the series that no body knows how to play, especially one that thinks that XIII is another XII. Where I'm at players called the series garbage without even playing one of them. It took me a hell of a long time to convince that the game is really good and it's worth the time and effort.
But it's different enough to make people complain about it and the people are the ones that only plays mvc 3 and sf4.It's pretty hard getting people into the series that no body knows how to play, especially one that thinks that XIII is another XII.

Who are these people that think 13 is like 12? I have to assume you're talking about people into entirely different fighters like maybe Virtua Fighter or maybe MK... long shot would be Clay Fighter ;) .
I would argue that KOF isn't that different from SF. It's not like playing SF than playing MK.
True. But I'd argue that people who only play AE and MVC3 have been coddled by easy inputs and comeback mechanics. But that's a can of worms waiting to be opened I think.
That's not true, you give people too little credit. If they game is good, people will be willing to try it. When I lived in GA, most the FG players only played SF4, I introduced them to Melty Blood and more than half of them were immediately addicted and a small MB community was created with almost no effort. The type of gamer that wants instant gratification is not going to be the guy that goes out of his way to meet with other players to learn and have real competition.
Not every place has FG players, not every place have people that go on SRK, that go on Dream Cancel so stop acting like that's the case.
News fucking flash so listen up, NOT EVERYONE PLAYS FGS. Simple as fucking that. Then there's those who just play for the flash, like in the MKs, or the Marvels, or hell, even Soul Caliber. People that don't give a shit about getting good, but just playing. And those people, give them KOF, sure they might like it, but you'll probably have to play half-assed for months, lest you risk turning them off.
You want an example? I have friends that don't mind getting into different games. Brought over MvC3 for the hell of it. They loved the graphics, the feel, the flash, the combos. After an hour, they barred me from playing it with them because even as half assed as I could play, I was still doing too well. This isn't uncommon in other places either. What a fucking scene that is.
I agree people should get out and look, but when people have gone out of their fucking way to tell you they've taken an active search in finding a scene and have found nothing, shut the fuck up, take their word for it and get off your god damn high horse, unless you want to take a goddamn flight out to where they live and threaten people at gunpoint to play KOF with them.
I'm sorry, but it's like finding fossils. You can dig and dig, but sometimes it's not a matter of just putting more effort into it, sometimes the only thing down there is more and more worm shit and nothing more.

Guys relax there's no need for this argument. The idea is to help and support our fellow players. This is not needed at the moment. Or ever.

Only one person "arguing" here. I merely made a suggestion to try and find a local scene since everyone was complaining about the netcode and some child decided that was reason enough to attempt to start a flame war. BTW, I'm new to the forums, is there an ignore feature?
(sorry for the big quote btw)some of you guys need to quit thinking that we haven't tried to find a offline community around us,
Unless you live in a location that has a very small population there will be other people interested in fighting games. Check the regional section of SRK if you are having trouble. Yes, there are situations that keep people from being able to join a community and no, not every city is going to have a massive community. But you really don't need that many people, you can just have 4 or 5 people playing in someone's apartment and have pretty good competition.also some of you guys need to start thinking about others peoples situations and why they depend on the online community
I'm not sure why you took what I said personally (defensive much?) and I have no clue why this statement was directed towards me as I have no control over the quality of KOF's netplay. The fact is that KOF's online is complete ass and unplayable 99% of the time. Therefore, if people want to find competition they are going to have to look locally.And it's not as simple as just getting people into them. If you told any random gamer the effort it takes to get into a FG, let alone one like KOF, they'll run straight the other way.

i live in a pretty small-ish town and the the most where most of the people just play call of duty or other various shooters if i had to take a guess at what fighting games were played around here it would be either mk or mvc
and let me explain my situation to you since you dont seem to understand where im coming from. i have very little time, patience or money among other things that aren't gonna be explained here, as much as i would love to drive about to play games with other people i just cant which is why i absolutely rely on the online part being at least decent.
and yes i did bit of offense at your comment it bugs the fuck out of me when people who have a offline group of people make it seem like its so fuckin easy to find one, it also bugs me how they just blow off the online part just because they dont give a shit about it then proceed to bitch and moan when other people wont play the game
Would have been great if atlus could get what the guys at arc system works used on blazblue for their netcode seeing as how atlus is chummy with them recently with the upcoming release of the persona fighting game, but then again SNK probably too stubborn with Game sync software since i heard snk owns a part of them.
I don't see why these companies refuse to use a GGPO style of netcode. There's no excuse for the netcode to be this unplayable when the technology is out there to reduce input delay to virtually nothing.
Well, GGPO was used for 3SOE but until Skull Girls comes out it has to be assumed that 3SOE was programmed by trained monkeys in a room.
I think you need to reread my posts, I'm not blowing off the importance of online play at all, but it's just a fact that KOF's is virtually unplayable. I would love for it to have a functioning online play so I could get some practice in between local sessions but it's not possible.
Does everyone on this forum take differing ideas or opinions as a personal attack? It's very frustrating for a new poster to try and express thoughts when people put words in my mouth (strawman) and throw a hissy fit about things I never said nor insinuated.
Well, GGPO was used for 3SOE but until Skull Girls comes out it has to be assumed that 3SOE was programmed by trained monkeys in a room.
And if Skullgirls netcode goes down...well we're all screwed.
But the thing is, about all netcodes. The affects of delay or rollbacks become more drastic the better at the game you become. When you're bad at the game, you won't notice it a lot or at all unless it's REALLY bad (my friend who doesn't really do FGs could feel the delay on Release MK9). As you get better, and your timing improves and you use more advanced tactics, the delay or rollbacks become more and more apparent.
So maybe...we're asking the wrong questions. Maybe we should find out exactly how far low players can feel the lag. To try and word it better, let's see if we can find the consistent level between players good enough to be truly affected by lag, and those who don't really notice it as much.
For this, we'd have to purposely avoid 4 Bar matches.
2. The memory usuage on this game is massive. When was the last time you remember dealing with load times in between matches for a fighting game? Tekken has already stated that their major problem with netcode was the amount of data being sent cause of the game being so data heavy. KOF is in the same boat so more then likely the big issue will be if Playmore can condense the data packets down. To which GGPO, Arc System and the other decent netcode games do not have a problem with (P.S. Street Fighter IV is 2.5 D so it's a little less data heavy then Tekken like the backgrounds for example.)
You called the person in question a baby and continued to insult him for little to no reason at all. That's not exactly a good way to get someone on your side.
I just wish everyone would stop playing shooters, period. It's getting real boring lately.
It's time to move on from this conversation.
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I very well may be) but I thought the only thing being sent was the input data, everything else is client side. This is the main reason a lot of people called "BS" when Seth said SF4 has too much data to send with GGPO netcode.
Mr. Karate is out the same time as EX Kyo, right? Jan 10th.

I jest. I wanna see Serious Mr. Karate in action again.
The problem with Supercade is the delay. There's significantly more delay, especially for 3rd Strike. Just trying to parry in 3S on Supercade is a night and day experience. The timing is entirely different. Which is why everyone rightfully so trashes Supercade. 2DF was surprisingly better than GGPO, but had some sound bugs. What happened between 2DF and Supercade only Damdai can say.

Yeah I agree. I stopped playing it on Supercade cause it was so bad. The 360 version as bad as people make it out to be is WAY better then Supercade, I can at least feel comfortable parrying online with it.
Reason I brought it up was it was another person complaining about the memory used. I know other people made it work but it's a good example in my book for my earlier point.
BB's netcode is trash, it's only useful for doing chains of attacks, not for reaction based stuff. 5 frames is an unplayable delay.
2002 on Supercade has 0 delay frames added to it, the only game that has extra delay is 3S I think, ¿trashing Supercade just because of that one game?. It's a fallacy to say all games on it have extra delay.
Supercade has 0 delay added to all games, but has no delay control where you can add to it to make your online matches run smoother. Ggpo comes with 1 delay added to it by default which you can decrease, so in fact Supercade is by default less laggy than Ggpo.
The only way to go for fighting games producers nowadays is to build netcodes with the premise of completely or almost completely eliminating delay, since the technology is already out there. It looks shameful, how companies haven't been able to come up with better netcodes than ggpo and supercade with the same vision. There is no other way to offer an acceptable online fighting game. 2 delay frames is the last playable spot a good player must accept, anything beyond that is unplayable and distorting the metagame in the end. When it comes to games like XIII with input delay netcodes, I can withstand up to 6 frames but in the end I'm not playing the game as it should be played.
6 Hours until XIII's fate is decided.Whats in 6 hours?
I'm guessing the netcode patch.
cause it would make me happyI'm guessing the netcode patch.
Uh no...why would a patch be at 10PM on a random day of the week with no knowledge of it?
Xxenace, you aren't allowed to be happy while I'm around, not during WAR.(http://sadpanda.us/images/798786-N8YA3CE.jpg)
No offence, but seems to me like you haven't actually played BB online.
Well damn, I got beat to that pretty fast.
Now, how are we going to get this dream cancel bus to EVO?

A DreamCancel Bus to EVO would be awesome. lol
Sexbox you say? By jigger i gotta get a piece oc dat. Does it cosplay too?
i had a similar instance... i couldn't even jump and entire inputs of mine were dropped completely. (press punch nothing happened) yet this one guy was dcing me left and right! almost finished me off with a massive hd cancel combo! talk about frustration! but only against one person... no other match i've had has been similar.
YES!!! KOF13 confirmed for EVO!!!!
Yeah, thats the thing all i see is red bars which could also mean their not from my region, i need to test with someone from the UK, when i got the game i tried online with a friend had 3 bars, but couldn't really tell how good the online was since i didn't know how to play, also wish SNK includes a rematch option and not let people under the connection limit of your lobby join your lobby pretty annoying when your training mode.hell, whats your GT/PSNID, we can make a couple of matchs to check (i'm in france).

Ummm... it does have a rematch option on player match. The people entering your room with a 2 bar when you have a 3 bar and above is a glitch. When the person selects your room it does say that they have a 3 bar connection. Now just because it says 2 bars does not necessarly mean it's 2 bars. It might be a 3 bar match. The bar system is completely messed up unfortunately and if someone comes into your room I would recommed playing them once to see how it plays rather then saying they aren't worth playing.

Nah i dont mean the actual connection, when you create a lobby you can say that you want to only fight 3+ bars, but the problem is it doesn't stop people that are like 2 bar or 1 bar connection joining your lobby pretty annoying.
Anyone knows if Iori Flame is out on PSN JAP (excepting that pre-oder code)?
Tomorrow I'll be going to my first KOF XIII tournament at Best Bout Beatdown wish me luck.

I know. My point is the the connection rating varies between the search and the room. I've entered many 4 bars room that are actually 3 bar connections.
I got 5th place at the tournament at Best bout beatdown today and I need to really level up my game.
However, I did find at least one guy online who knew how to play. If you guys ever run into Jairo_Killer69 or KimKaphan on PSN, play them. They're Mexican and good.

I just dont understand what we as a people can do to get "spectator mode" in the game! Capcom players cried for months but got it, I would have no prob paying for it. Its just too many people who plays it and love it but the online set up needs to change, and change fast! SNK wake up, give us spectator mode!! Oh and by the way......Great stream!! Obaiyo mina.......

@Killey, I def understand the elive ban. Their business would be utterly destroyed if that passes. I really hope that it won't affect KOF either. I would hope that snkp would be against the bill bc of all of the positive press kof got due to streams and youtube.

This is why I love Xxenace... but, real talk, Genesis is the best console. Blast processing!
What about Clark's df+A? Too slow?Most likely it'll get stuffed and if the dive kick crosses up it won't auto correct.
jump up back cd if only he's abusing it. Her Ex command throw is a reversal. You can block it but I don't think you can punish it unless you have charged his ex Gatling gun ready. I think she gets pushed back to far for command throw punish.Also I think you get free command throw if you block dive kick above the head.Dunno if this will work since I'm just theory fighting. Hopefully this will help.
Edit: tried it and it doesn't work. the push block is too big.
Downloadable matches sounds like a pretty good compromise. The infrastructure would already be there to filter out scrub matches with the ranking system already in the game. Like that idea.
So Xxenace is a Sexbox fanboy. And Genesis does what Nintendon't. I like this forum all the more everyday ;) . Genesis had better action games and beat 'em ups. It seems like people prefer the SNES more if they love RPG's....
Downloadable matches sounds like a pretty good compromise. The infrastructure would already be there to filter out scrub matches with the ranking system already in the game. Like that idea.
There is already a download match function in KOF 13, but it's limited to the monthly top 100. You have to go to leaderboards and scroll to monthly top. However, the matches there are kind of hit or miss. As you know, the monthly top ranks only the total wins during a month, so the people at the top are not necessary top players, just top grinders. Also not anyone choose to upload their matches.
True but there's also the chance of fan favorite of not returning. Considering how 13 ended we may not see Claw Iori in the next one which I really liked claw. Also dead character stay dead in KOF. Unless you're a ghost or some shit (Mature and Vice). I would like to see the Orochi team once more :)

One thing I wonder about is system in the next iteration. IMO XIII's system is damn near perfect, wonder if they would go ruining that just for the sake of change.
I rather have an updates along the line of ssf iv and bb cs, call it kof xiii plus or something, with story related characters like adel, heidern,shion, botan etc.... There is no point in naming it kof 14 since its kof 13 with more characters/stage and tweaked gameplay.
Damn snkp should really consider cell shading or 3d, cause i dont want to wait 5 years for a good game.
much as i like kof i would like for it to take the back seat for a while would like to see a new fatal fury,samsho, last blade,ngbc, or hell even a new ip if there up for it
With a new OAV & live action movie coming this year I'll mention it again. Playmore needs the license to do a Rurouni Kenshin game. The new animation style, great play control and, characters that would be fun to play in a serious fighter why not? Hell Playmore has already worked with the creator on SSV you'd think it could be done.

Time for me to show my nerd card!
Quite f--king true. Great idea, but much as I like Sannosuke, Aoshi, and Saitoh, the LB cast still wins in regards to which I'd like to see next and updated. Feels like LB as got a lot of RK in it anway:
-Washizusa is pretty much pre-Meiji Saito
-Hibiki is close enough to Kenshin for me
-Shishio is separated into Shinnosuke and Mukuro
-Moriya as got that overall Aoshi feel
-etc
Awesome, we got Rurouni Kenshin fans up in here.
For years I thought a Rurouni Kenshin game using SNK's Last Blade style would be awesome.
Man I want to go to that Rochester tourney, but that shit is 4 hours away and I have no ride :(

Nice if true. Commence the wishlists.

Failing that then Gato, Oswald and Vanessa.

I know it's off-topic, but Rurouni Kenshin took alot of inspiration from SNK games too, particuarly Samurai Shodown, which was one of Watsuki's favorites and he mentioned it often in his notes.
On the subject of future DLC, I just want to see a complete Outlaw Team, whether it includes Mary, Yamazaki or Eiji to go with Billy. I'd especially like Eiji because he was the shit in XI and 98UM.

And you shouldn't celebrate too much. Sopa might be down like bros at a gears tourney, but the all ghetto PIPA is still on the table. After we bitchslap PIPA then we can celebrate like gentlemen.
I have a cold and took Monday off work. Stayed inside and played 13 Online. Not that many players and about half the Greens I played could best be described as 'laggy as fuck' and the other half including one Yellow were very playable. Couldn't find any good players though. When the fuck is that patch coming out?honestly it been so long that nobody is probably going to care once it comes out
well after much "trying" online... i've discovered the new form of "cheating." ...at least on the 360 version, but i imagine it might work on the ps3 as well... what people are doing is putting their headsets next to the television sets to make as much noise as possible through them. it causes the person recieving the noise to have extra lag and drop inputs altogether. i even had one guy turbo-ing his headset on and off to make as much static as possible. because i play without my headset they fight fine while i almost just stand there the whole match. it's pretty horrific. they REALLY need to disable headsets altogether considering the netcode sucks as is...

I wish more fighters (I think MK had it correct me if I'm wrong) were not only server based instead of p2p but have servers full of people at various skill levels. Because if someone is at a rank of 16 or 20 it rarely means anything, they could just be another dude picking shoto and running away, spamming fireball, and abusing that half second of lag.
Where you have a newbie server, an intermediate server, and pro server respectively.

Neo Geo games aren't exactly the most sought-after titles, even though they've been making appearances in Sony's PlayStation Store as of late...
...and based on the specs reported by Famicom-Plaza and Kotaku, the device might be easily overshadowed by the more-capable Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita

Just curious if anyone feels this way or not:
I have a philosophy that you should keep combos that are not necessarily basic but ones you absolutely know you can do. My opinion is that if you try those fancy Trial Mode combos when you can do them maybe 5 times out of 10 you run a big risk of dropping it and losing the whole thing.
Basically I ignore fancy combos that don't do that much more damage. I mean if at the most I stand to gain 100-150 more damage by doing a fancy combo that I could easily if I blink the wrong way, then I don't think it's worth it. I won't practice a trial mode combo unless the damage is 200+.
Do you guys feel the same way?
I wish SNK would re-release some of the NGPC titles on the PS Vita or 3DS. I used to own the original NeoGeo Pocket and later the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Fun times!!

One dude from europe seems to have it and has been posting updates.
I had no idea Ryo was good at Rushdown...
With his good normals, great spacing, quick parries and fast recovery, he should be.
Bio got to you first, Des:
The update is there, it doesn't appear to make things faster although it does look like it makes connections a fair bit more consistent but this is only after testing it once so I would be very happy to admit I am wrong when that is proved so. Also I could be wrong but Takuma's cr.C seemed marginally faster (but as I said I could be wrong).
What I would like to know is if the patch addresses the controller issue? When I go to tournaments they generally don't allow the wireless ps3 pads so I have to use wired ps2 pads with a converter. But since this game doesn't like controllers without a home button I'm gonna have some real problems if they don't fix it.

That's just a converter issue. Lot's of converters support KoF. You need a proper ps2 to ps3 converter not just a ps2 to usb.

If you say so, it's still a problem I would like fixed. My converter works with every other game I tried it on. I'd rather not buy a new one just because of one game.
Just in case, would you care to name a few of the converters that do work? I know of one from etokki.com that is probably the best bet, but they take too long and their shipping rates suck.
BioBooster, we can try online again, since previous attempts were quite bad. I hope your observations are not psychological. What about the input lag? Is it significantly improved?
Netcode has the same quality, so don't expect have better connection with people you had bad connection.

Which is the opposite of what Bio and Solid are saying above.
As Killey mentioned above, NA's internet is bad compared to Japan and some parts of Europe, so I'm expecting us to have it the roughest...I would like to be surprised and flat out wrong but we shall see. :)
What's pretty crazy is that that Solid and I just did like 15 matches, the connection was superb. We'd played a number of times in the past and it was always shitty. (the one good time was like a 3 bar)
I notice that the load times have been chopped as well. The time it takes to get to round one is like 2 sec if that.
Going to go battle japan's talent now and get my ass kicked - Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaargh!!!
Can anybody else confirm that the load times are reduced?

Installing will reduce the load times unless you mean shorter load times than installing it
To be fair, not too many people on tonight.well i hope this patch changes something cause ive been hearing mixed things about it
I think most definitely your connection speed and ping to the player plays a major role on how playable it will be, but I'm still concerned on how the connection between FameDouglas and I pre-patch was so ASS and now we were both like "wow, this is actually good".
GGs Bio. I can't remember the last time I played an online game like that so flawlessly, though the only fighters I've played recently are XIII, 3SOE, and a game of AE once. Hope this means a lot more competition will be available now, everywhere.
so it seems patch is on just in the usa ? i plaied last nite (around late afternoon time in usa ) and what i noticed is just less ppl available in player match. connection was still the same shit , i didnt noticed any parameters of search or preferences memorized (of course cause i didnt get the patch yet ) so i think im in the box of ppl without patch and i see less players available for this ?it should ask you if you want to install the patch before you start playing the game it wouldn't be in the marketplace unless it was some type of dlc im guessing if you haven't got it yet it might not be up in your area
for those who have the patch : when launching the game u received a message saying there was an upgrade for the game or u have to look for the patch in the marketplace ?

Yup, Desmond, I had about half-a-second or so of lag. Enough that even blocking was spotty.
I plan to do the full out reset today - reinstalling the game, resetting my modem and router.

I think just doing the latter would do just fine.
New bug, please tell me I'm not the only one it affects: The game will freeze at the 'obtaining player information' screen. It will happen randomly and you have to exit out of everything every time. WTF?
For me personally, this patch is not really a big improvement. There's still input lag, which means blocking low hops online are a little tougher. However its still playable. The only thing I hope is an input lag patch, that will be good enough.No input lag for me. I wonder why.
Was playing someone that every time he jumps in or I do a combo the game suddenly lag that resulting me getting hit by a jump in or dropping my combos. That's one of the reason I don't like playing online but w/e.
I'm glad I have a local scene, even it is rather small.
My post-patch results are horrible. I checked all of my settings and reinstalled the game and the patch and still not good. The blue matches are slower than offline and strangely glitchy and the green bars are laggy enough that blocking is near impossible.

That is kinda weird to hear man, I think a lot of my blue matches are really good, while the greens are good, but I stay away from yellows and reds.
Are you sure no one is leeching off of your connection or anyone else in the house? What are you up and down speeds and pings?
My god I was eaten alive by gimmicks online today. After I started to figure him out he left >.>I hate that. People love winning but when you start coming close to beating them or you beat them they leave....
I have nothing but great things to say about the new netcode man it has been working like a dream. Blue bars everywhere and Offline type connections No complaints whatsoever from this guy.

Actually, I think I understand what the patch is doing in match now.
The whole reason we're not getting loading screens or synching pre-round is because now they're putting it within the fight itself (well maybe not the loading screens).
It will feel worse or better depending on tolerance, because unlike before where a single hiccup midmatch will fuck up the input delay for the rest of the round until it can resynch, it will try to resynch in the middle of the same round, pretty much like any other fighter with this type of netcode.
I'm thinking about holding a test session next Saturday (the 11th) for players to find those who may have blue (or even green) connections with, then try to organize those in a thread. It will be held in the wibiya toolbar chat and open for XBL and PSN players...kinda like a big lobby. Would anyone be down? I have a few people interested...ill bring the soda and plastic cups
I played some games with Desmond this morning with much better results. There was a tiny bit of input lag but it was quite playable. I had some trouble with simple links like King's B, dp+B but that's to be expected.

The game speed was wonky. It couldn't decide wether to go slower or faster. Of late frames are the usual things to drop or they drop the speed down permantly I haven't seen the speed in flux like it was there. For a 3 bar match it was bad. I thought you were getting frustrated when you dropped. Appreciated the message after explaining.
I ragequit only when it's laggy. I don't care if I'm winning or losing but I will ragequit because of lag. The way I see it; I play to get better. And if I'm not gaining anything from the experience then what's the point?
According to pingtest.net, my ping is pretty stable, usually between 20 and 24ms. I did a speed test before and after we played and got a lower speed rating than the last few sessions. I am on cable and I am baffled by the results to say the least. When it's good, it's really good; when it's bad, it's awful.

Sorry for late response needed to get near a computer. Although pingtest does look at some of the stuff you need to know the true test is how you ping with a player. I don't know if you have a way to look how you and a player ping out but I always used old snk games on the 360. FFS, SS2, KOf98UM, and (2002UM used to) have it. Most of the time if your lag is not stable it has to do with your ping between players. If you move in game under 20 m/s it's usually good. Example if you are at 100m/s and you move around to 120m/s and below you're fine. However any more movement and the match gets erratic cause it keeps reseting parameters so much.
My ping in Auora got 40m/s and 6m/s jitter, Nixa Missouri I got 56m/s and a 9m/s jitter. Chicago (which is farthest) I got 16m/s and 1m/s jitter. but I bet if I get with another person that jitter is going to be a lot more cause pinging a server is different then pinging another 360 or computer.

^ Whats your PSN, Diavle?
I'm really happy with the patch. The thing I wanted most was the ability to play only 3 and 4-bar ranked matches, in addition to player matches.
I don't know if the Northwest is really getting into KOF or what, but I haven't had any trouble (yet) finding matches. Of course it varies by time of day, but I typically don't have to wait more than a minute or two in practice mode.
Anyway, the 4 bar match I played post-patch was as good as the 4 bar matches I played pre-patch. Not surprising.
Obviously, I don't have to play 1 bar matches ever again (which I'm thrilled about), but I wanted to see how the game handled bad connections now. The 1 bar matches I played (someone invited me to it) felt very different from the pre-patch 1 bar matches I've played. It seemed like the game felt less like it was underwater, and the game seemed to be running more smoothly. However, the input delay was absolutely absurd. My impression was that SNKP tried to mask the bad connection with more input lag, while trying to keep the game's speed consistent.
In my opinion, this is a worse solution than just slowing the game down.
As I said, though, the good news for me is that I can now avoid the truly awful matches. All in all, I'm happy.
^ Whats your PSN, Diavle?
Was playing under togi666.
Yo, we should play some more, I don't quite remember if our matches were very laggy or what not, but I'll add you to my list.
Btw, a friend of mine recently experimented with a little tweak to decrease a bit of the lag in our matches. Before we had green bars, but now we have blue. The matches feel VERY nice now. If anyone is interested in hearing how, I can share. :)

That's awesome. I'm glad to see that there's people still supporting the arcade, especially when KOF has thrived on it so much. It's sad when arcade players are left behind.
Anyone else find it odd how even though SoCal seems to hold Robert in such high regard when talking about tiers they never ever actually use him?
Also, seems Mature is moving up their ranks. She was getting a lot of use in yesterday's tournament, even as anchor. Her EX fireball pretty much completely shuts down fireball games, like that of Saiki. Her links equal tons of damage and she can really lock you down with block strings.

I've been curious about the Robert thing for a long time. He's good, but works best at mid to long range IMO. The mid range attacks can set up the close range, but he always seemed weak up close compared to Takuma, or Ryo. Every time I hear about Robert though, they make him out a all around fighter w/ high priority. I just don't see it.
Anyway...I find it odd that they had to add an extra name to it when they're only adding the Console Changes. They could've just said Version 2 since it's on V1.1 right now in Arcades. Calling it Climax...hmm...very...intriguing.1. its gonna be the last of anything they are doing for XIII
I think KOFXIII Climax will be released via NesicaXLive, due to SNKP re-releases of KOF'98UM FE and KOF 2002UM for this system.
Thanks to hackers, this game obviously will be nesica exclusive
I think KOFXIII Climax will be released via NesicaXLive, due to SNKP re-releases of KOF'98UM FE and KOF 2002UM for this system.
I think so too, actually, especially since XIII was released a few months (weeks? days?) before NesicaXLive was released. I remember thinking back then what could have been had they waited for Nesica to come out.
Is it humanly possible to play KOf13 at a high level using a pad?

and while on the topic of pads which ones do you guys prefer to use? (if you use them at all for fighting games)
i've always preferred the standard xbox 360 d-pad over most of the ones that i use(i know im crazy)

What console were you playing on when that happened?
Is it humanly possible to play KOf13 at a high level using a pad? This was something I was talking with a friend of mine and we noticed that there are basically no top level players out there using any kind of pad playing this game or any other KOf for that matter.
There are tons of good KOF players that use pad only, it is not what you use but how you use it. It is all preference.
And yes, I agree with DaddyCane on how sticks can be really noisy sometimes, so if you play on pad, you have that advantage of listening to them mash and stuff.
and while on the topic of pads which ones do you guys prefer to use? (if you use them at all for fighting games)

You know, I still don't understand how you having the ability to listen to a player hitting his buttons translates into an advantage. unless each button makes a distinct sound so you know exactly which attacks will be coming your way then I can understand. but if someone is mashing, well....that's where I'm lost.

I don't always use pad, but if I do I prefer the Sega Saturn Pad. Keep playing my friends. :p

Tough ones,
It's likely I'll have a chance to peep Climax this Saturday.
If that happens as planned, I'll be happy to report all that I can ;)

Kinda hoping for new characters on Climax, but I won't hold my breath.
For the love of God, give me Geese...
Then they go into buffering techniques and I've never seen any game company go over buffering before. They didn't go over the basics of buffering but went into the more advance stuff like Ryo doing c.B, s.A xx Neomax. The later half of the video shows how to buffer a command grab from a run, and then examples of oki games/mind games that come about from this using Raiden as the example.
You're dreaming, new char will be far more too expensive, if they had some it will be new ex, like robert or yuri i guess.I dont get this logic. We know that they were working on this game for years. And they had problem with deadlines. So maybe some characters, like maybe agents team or Adel were already had been worked (lets say %70 were done by the time they released the console games) and they might finish the rest during the time. There was even unfinished Winquote art for Adel. This IMHO is the solid proof of there is at least one character meant to be added but not finished apparently.
And snkp didn't show any willingness to add some for now, considering the fact making a new character took them one year from scratch for arcade version, i believe we won't see any for a while.
SNK is one hundred times smaller than Capcom, and 2d games aren't 3d, it's far cheaper and faster to do char on 3d than in 2d.
$20 DLC pack would be accepted by the community. I really doubt they would pull a Capcom for a game that sold about 100K copies.
@ the guy who said that I am dreaming, It will cost them much more to do a whole new game so expect character update. Check how much work they did from XII to XIII, so my idea is not crazy. The other thing they can do is MI 3 capcom style which is much easier and I think they have some work done on it, or a crossover with XIII's sprites.

Around 400k worldwide.@ the guy who said that I am dreaming, It will cost them much more to do a whole new game so expect character update.

I'm just saying don't hope anything for the next year. And if they release new characters it will surely be Ex ones to avoid the maximum of works on the sprites.
^ I think the number you are saying is low for worldwide m8. Anyway, I bet adel and botan are half finished anyway.
Considering the track record of Playmore & how strapped for cash they are you are more then likely to see a brand new game rather then any more dlc. People expect at least 3 characters. For a brand new game they can get by with 7 new a few new stages and mess with the moves a bit and people will buy it. Why only get the niche group to buy dlc for $5 a pop when you get a wider buyer group to get a brand new game for $40 to $50 instead. Kof XIV Dream Match Continues.
Dunno why people keep saying no new characters will come. It's definitely possible and I bet they're already in the works. Lets just wait and see, but I totally would like Rock or EX Terry.

It's a WHOLE lot cheaper to make DLC than it is to make a whole new game. With a new game, you need a new crew, a lot more characters, more content, a new marketing campaign, a website, and etc. It's a lot more money than just releasing 1-3 characters and that's it. It would actually make more sense financially, especially if they're going to sell them for 5 bucks a piece.
Who knows. DLC for fighters is still a pretty unknown area. For all we know they'd add the DLC characters to the arcades, but then comes the question about how much you can milk a single game.going by street fighter standards a whole lot anyway the only thing i want is blue mary and a workable netcode though i know im more likely to only get one of those choices
Hell, I'd pay just to get Are You Okay back.
Didn't Terry have a weird overhead punch in I think it was 02UM (EX Terry) and Real Bout Dominated Minds? It kinda' looked like a pseudo Power Dunk but he didn't fly in to the air. I'd like to see Garou Terry with that move and that Slide he had in the Real Bout games.
...Not that that's a bad thing >_> <_<no it's not i would play the fuck out of that game
I'd rather we just get a Garou 2.
Or a Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 Ultimate Match w/ Jubei Yamada, Raiden, Hwa Jai and Ryo Sakazaki added in.
well i would say XIII gave them all the confidence they neededI'd rather we just get a Garou 2.
Or a Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 Ultimate Match w/ Jubei Yamada, Raiden, Hwa Jai and Ryo Sakazaki added in.
Garou 2 is the only way we'd see Rock again...and they aren't going to make a Garou 2 unless they suddenly get really confident with KOF.
I've never played the story mode so I never caught that. Could be a casual reference or a hint towards the future. I'm thinking it's just a troll like you said, how many times could they headswap the same character?im sure they have a few more kyo clones somewhere
I think a Garou 2 with a refined Just Defend mechanic would get more casuals in. That and I;d like to see the Line Sway return.
how many times could they headswap the same character?
im ok with thishow many times could they headswap the same character?

Takuma is neither Sonny Chiba nor Segata Sanshiro - he is Mas Oyama, founder of the Kyokushin Style of Karate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masutatsu_Oyama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masutatsu_Oyama)
Yes, Kyokugen = Kyokushin.
Sonny Chiba was, however, one of Mas Oyama's students. In fact, Chiba portrayed him in various martial arts films.
Now that I think about it, Mai is the only one of the Fatal Fury five (the FF characters that were in the very first KOF and have been in all of them for the most part) that doesn't have a disciple. (Or does she?)
I've always imagined her disciple to be a blond, white American girl so that she would be the opposite of Andy (blond, white American man discipling a Japanese boy - Japanese woman discipling a blond, white American girl).

So...Miki from KS?
I just got beat down by MastaCJ 5-0, some replays coming later tonight or tomorrow. I would've replayed them all..but I'm still too habitual in going past the replay screen.
Online is dead on PS3. Played one guy and one guy only and he basically just used gimmicks, every time he rolled I could not punish it for some reason. I beat him 3 times but I didn't feel like I got anything out of it other than figuring out that Billy's cr.C easily beats all of Raiden's Shoulders aside from EX.
I gotta' play you guys offline but I swear to fuck every time a weekend comes up horrible snowy weather appears and there's road warnings.
Possible scrub KOF question: What purpose do CD's have? Because it seems like they benefit only certain members of the cast by giving them an amazing Air to Air or a really good standing Meatie for pressure. But some characters have CD's that do neither of these. So is the purpose of a CD just to be a pressure move on the ground or is it supposed to be this amazing jump in that beats a variety of AA's even though in this game certain AA's and EX beat it clean? I just don't get their purpose.

Where you play at? I still get some folks to play with on PSN, but it happens MUCH less often now than it did before the patch.
tbh i really dont think anyone wants to play this game online any more most games of any genre that release in this state usually have their online communities die off with in a month or two maybe im just regurgitating the same shit ive been saying for the last few weeks but ive had to deal with this stuff on 5 different accounts and im not going to keep throwing my money at them just to be disappointed i love this community to death but the devs need to straighten the fuck upWhere you play at? I still get some folks to play with on PSN, but it happens MUCH less often now than it did before the patch.
I can't seem to find anyone to play with on PSN myself anymore. Today in the morning, afternoon and late at night, the rooms were damn near barren. I did play on blue bar match but the guy left after we played. Yeah, the online isn't perfect by any means at all, but it is still really playable to a fair degree if you have 3 or 4 bar delay connection if both of the players feel the connection is smooth.
So, yeah I think more people have to play more, that's really it.
But yeah, Hokutomaru is under both Andy and Mai in a sense, so maybe give him a few more recognizable moves that originally belong to Mai, and there's her half-stand in.
Summore merits:
CDs can do good guard damage.
Many have good priority once into the attack frames.
More blockstun (some chrs get frame adv).
They leave the opponent juggleable after counter-hits. You see a lot of seasoned players quickly doing another jump attack if not more on reaction after hitting with a CD counter in the air.
They can be empty-cancelled into specials, etc. to keep the opponent guessing or mess up their timing - some chrs can get a little extra range on moves like EX kyo doing qcf+P on empty cancel of CD that moves him fwd a bit.
Lastly, soft knock-downs can always be good for gaining position or changing the tide.
Hope that helps round out the picture :)
Yeah, but how I ended up taking him on was completely random and surprising.
I don't know if this is at all common or not, but it happens to me pretty often...When I play in 3 bar matches (and good 2 bar matches), generally things are totally fine, but when I play 4 bar matches, they seem to alternate between normal and basically playing like a 1 bar match. In fact, I've played 1 bar matches that are better than a lot of the 4 bar matches I've played in, just because they were consistently slow, rather than randomly picking up gigantic input delays.
In any case, it seems to me that a lot of the 4 bar connections I've played are very unstable, and the actual connection quality fluctuates during the match, unlike in 1, 2 and 3 bar matches.
What I have seen (and I have seen it a lot) is the movement between the different bars in the match causes a lot of crap to happen. The game constantly changes the speed, frames, and input throughout the match. It messes with frames 1st then speed when you get to 3 bar and then input when you go further down 3 and into 2 bar. What you experience is your connection deciding whether to be a 4 bar or a 3 bar match. It gets really crappy when it can't decide.
I honestly think the online is 'okay' or even 'pretty good'. I would compare it to 3rd Strike on GGPO, you can learn matchups and do alright, but you notice weird shit and it's hard to punish or even block certain things.
By comparison I would say that 3rd Strike Online Edition is absolute dog shit and even worse than 3rd Strike on 2DF.
There's just not a lot of people online and too many people on wireless.
Got zero good matches today and Eltro and KimKaphan haven't been on in days.
Just a random question.One Character Victory
What does OCV mean? I know its when a player defeats another player's whole team with only one character, but I never knew what it stands for.. ^^

Hello everyone! Long time!
In SpekSNK we had the privilage to interview SNKP and Kei Yamamoto, producer of KOF XIII. You can read the interview here (http://www.speksnk.org/foro/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=74471&p=585471#p585465) if you are interested on it. It talks a bit about how SNKP feels about KOF XIII and their future plans :)
yeah i heard that but it's still a fucking shit joke. Not funny at all.Agreed. I just heard the awful "Joke". I am pretty goofy but some things you just don't play around with.
i just came in the room while i had the stream on speaker, and my heart literally stopped for a second
a Krauser-like character and I'm set.
I have a question for Biobooster and everyone who's familiar with the Tokyo scene.
I am going to be in Tokyo for a week in late march. What arcades do you guys think have the better competition in KOF? I know the taito station in shinjuku is the mecca for SF, is there an equivalent for KOF?
Also how far away is shinjuku to akihabara?

Hey Freddie. My memory of Tokyo and Akihabara is hazy (expect how awesome it was), but the distance from Shinjuku to Akihabara by subway is probably 45 minutes, or shorter.
I remember Club SEGA having quite a few SNK cabs that people played often, and I'm sure someone might still be playing a 98, 02, or XIII version, at least before they get Climax.
It's been years since I've been back, so don't take everything as fact. Hope Bio will be on real soon to give you concrete answers.
KOFXIII producer doesn't know what to develop next?

For real???? It's insane they don't realize what they have in their hands. I mean seriously, a KOFXIV dreammatch building off of KOFXIII's content and gameplay is painfully the most obvious and best path for SNKP.
Pretty much. You can't rush out another sequel in a year or two. I would expect a 14 in around 3-4 years. Otherwise you oversaturate the market, just look at Capcom.
other SNK games
I want to see KOFXIII GROW in the competitive play field before we see a KOFXIV. It's way too early to be talking about a XIV.
the majority of SNK fans want KOFXIV above all other SNK games
the majority of SNK fans want KOFXIV above all other SNK games
Uhh... excuse me? Who are those majority of SNK fans? Most SNK fans I know want either a Garou 2 or a 2D HD Samurai Shodown, not another KOF.
http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?topic=266.0 (http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?topic=266.0)
Most ppl here seem to want Garou 2.
Just because KOF12 was rushed and an incomplete game doesn't mean a Garou 2 would be as well. KOF12 wasn't just a mess because of the small character selection (For a KOF game), the gameplay system and mechanics were completely fucked over and there were very few moves per character, the game was nothing more than a placeholder. What happened when KOFXIII came out? The game played more like traditional KOF, all of the old gameplay systems were brought back, and movesets were more complete this time around (Although I'd argue some characters are still kind lacking, EX moves helped flesh them out slightly).
Garou 2 can totally be done and kick ass, especially if it used true HD sprites, something that KOFXIII's sprites aren't.
They could also add all Garou characters from KOFXIII too as a head start for a bigger better roster.
Considering how long it takes for their new process for sprites takes
I'm telling ya: All they have to do is announce Garou 2 at Evo and show an in-game screenshot of Rock Howard and it will be a huge success.
What do you want Kofxiv for anyways? Characters?
It makes you wonder why they choose GSS for netcode again (which made the horrible netcode on KOF12) for KOFXIII.isn't arcana hearts netcode nearly the same as blazblues?
The patch improved it a bit, but less than half of the fanbase isn't going to play it online unless it meets Arcana Heart 3 standards.
They should of hired the company that did Neo Geo Station netcode for KOF95 and KOF96.
Which I think is called M2 or something.
Yes, Arcana Heart 3 was ported by Arc System Works, which explains why it feels like BlazBlue's netcode.It makes you wonder why they choose GSS for netcode again (which made the horrible netcode on KOF12) for KOFXIII.isn't arcana hearts netcode nearly the same as blazblues?

It's just impossible to impliment Arcsys netcode onto something that is widely incomptable not just gameplay wise, but how they were both built.There is truth in this statement, I would advise people to not keep asking SNKP to use netcode that isn't their own. 3rd Strike is a prime example, an implementation of GGPO that is worse than most.
2012 must be the end of the world, because I would've laughed at anyone telling me that KOF would make it into MLG.
2012 is the year for KOF.For sure, but 2013 sounds better... xD :P
