I like guys like this being outspoken on XIII and why he chose it over everything else as a main game.
You guys should check this thread out if you haven't & see what's going on

Also meanestrage, how's those Bi-Weekly ranbats at 8 bit & up looking like?
I spoke to the store yesterday and they like my idea but they are in need of set ups. They have 360's but i wanna do ps3 since thats major standard in which i can get no problem. I just need more screens, lagless ones but i'll update you guys more as time comes. Im aiming to try to start in sept if not oct is definite
i think as long as he's having fun with trying to learn it, then it'll be good. we need more high profile community members like him to be seen playing the game and being genuinely interested in it.
I tweeted to him that i'm willing to help with his videos or anything kof related, i hope he read it and takes me up on it. errr i'll just dm him lol.
sad thing about most of the fgc is that they are like sheep. whatever is most popular will be played. p4 is super popular right now, so even the top players are getting into it.
we just need more visibility and show that it isn't THAT hard. that's one of the big reasons why people are turned off, there's no I WIN character/button. *cough* Mitsuru, wesker *cough*
having combofiend and juicebox helps out the kof community alot as well. we all have to keep working at it actively, we can't wait for people to come to us!
Guys if you think Mr. KARATE is a problem wait tell you play against a good Takuma, one slip from you and your dead! If he gets a counter hit he, he gets you into an ex Zanretsuken then you can say farewell to your character. Still I dont see that he needs a nerf.
I was talking about this to a lot of peeps at the last tourney I was at. I think as of now, Takuma has top 3 best offenses on the game. I mean, he can do 600 damage with 2(or even 1 and a half) bar and 50% drive in the corner from a fucking low and build most of the meter that he just spent RIGHT back when he finishes the combo. Mr. Karate has good offense as well but Takuma trumps him thanks to command grab and anywhere juggle ex zanretsuken.
I agree with desmond, i'm pretty sure we won't be able to get our way with a new netcode patch, I'm under the impression that snkp is not capable of making a patch that will help make it as good as p4 or street fighter (whether it be a budget issue or just simply talent/ability).
on top of that our community isn't as big as the capcom community. it's harder to make any motion for ourselves.
sorry to be a downer about this, but we can't rely on snkp/atlus to help us in this matter. we need to take action and figure out how to get past this barrier.
like desmond said, i like the idea of bringing in family/friends you already have. it definitely helps alot. i used to play with my little brother and my friends all the time.
i just got an idea, i might try to enact it myself or maybe someone could volunteer some ideas?
the idea is, i think we can help shy gamers somewhat if we can give some testimonials about people in the community that were super shy, but once they got into the community they opened up and became more social and made lots of good friends.
I, for one, am one of those people. if we could provide a platform to tell our stories, it might inspire some people to try meeting people. who knows =P
When people are really reliant on netplay that either means two things:
1.) I virtually know NO ONE in my area that plays or is interested in playing KOF
2.) I'm shy and not very social-able to try get the local scene interested or to join the local scene at all
The first reason can come from either distance or not knowing if other players exist in the area. It can be difficult if other players arent very internet saavy to try to hunt for other players locally. Sometimes groups can fall apart from players becoming busy, not motivated anymore, drama, etc.
The second reason can come from people just being shy. Anti social players who don't care about playing in person, or may not have the means to do so.
Back in the 1990s before netplay, the only way to find people to play with in fighters was to play people in your own family. Brother, nephews, cousins, or close friends. So I think for people who are having trouble starting offline communities of your own, it's best to try to start within your family, then much later reaching out to the local communities (by searching on SRK or here, etc).
It's always tough if you are in the middle of nowhere and can't find no one to play with or is interested in playing a certain game. It's sorta like that for me with Melty Blood (even tho I can count on my hand the people who HAVE played in the past), sometimes it's just tough getting people to really commit and want to travel locally and make the time to play.
KOFXIII IS going to make a comeback next year seeing as it broke #'s that many people were not expecting (either in the 900's or somewhere between 1,000 & 1,100)
random fun fact/"ah-ha" moment. kof had 1,072 sign ups (third most at evo), sitting right between marvel (1,248 sign ups) and sfXt (448 teams, so 896 sign ups in total)
check that math...it is exactly 176 more than sfXt and exactly 176 less than marvel. weird.
Ggs to those I played yesterday. I was the King, Takuma Iori player. I really hope to see more KOF players at NL and hope more players come out to NL to play. Good players, new players, just more people to play. Malik whenever you plan on dropping by Next Level let me know I will definitely drop by because I really need to level up in this game. I'll be at Next Level every Friday playing KOF. If there is a day where more people are in attendance for KOF please post here and I'll do my best to make it.
I recently got into KoF. Is anybody down to go to Next Level to play a few games this weekend?
