Most likely a estimate, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the final release date. Sounds good to me, 5 months for us to get all new info of the game, releasing new characters slowly and showing/testing up the netcode in the US.

Er, a question. How come Atlus is publishing this instead of SNK itself?

IIRC SNKP USA is just a representative of SNKP in the US, they really don't have the powers to publish the games in the US anymore. Besides, having a Publisher saves money to SNKP, so that might be the main reason.

It's nice to hear that. I hope he's cool with it. DC could be a good connector between KOF XIII USA fanbase and Atlus.

What I expect:

-good online netcode. Which WORKS and makes the game enjoyable. Is the future, is the present. So it should be the first priority. I'm not demanding GGPO, just something at same level of SF could be good.

-chanllenging and entertaining offline game modes.

-Color edit


Wishes (maybe not so realistic):

-More balanced game could be cool (just nerfing K' and Raiden a bit could be OK for me, or buffing Mai :D)

-I would love to see "alternate color palettes" or whatever they are called (like Mr.Karate, BigBear, etc) for all characters. Even as DLC, I dont' care, but is the first time a 2D game has something like this and i think it has to be more exploited.

I'll post this question in a Atlus question specific thread, but the suggestion is a simple one. Make a companion disc to ship alongside the game with tips/overviews/tricks like with what they did with Blazblue Calamity Trigger.
Title: Re: The King of Fighters XIII 2ND |OT| Thread: Final Edition
Post by: Zabel on June 08, 2011, 12:50:28 AM
Only thing I’m really looking for side stuff wise is color edit, GGPO or some other netcode that works great for the game, and console characters that are hopefully added to the arcade release, rather not have wasted slots that can’t be played tournament wise. Most important though are slight balance changes, other than buffing low tiers is just remove either the Anywhere juggle on Raiden’s Dropkicks or the tackles, the tackles more so and K’ to get some more recovery on Heat Trigger. And second most important, a training mode similar to EX+ Alpha, Tobal 2, or VF:EVO that takes people through the ins and outs of each character and the Character introduction vids from awhile back on disc or on a DVD similar to what BlazBlue did.
Title: Re: The King of Fighters XIII 2ND |OT| Thread: Final Edition
Post by: ZMan on June 08, 2011, 01:09:13 AM

Not that I'm against Atlus answering questions, but you'd think they would rather answer the questions of people who are more involved with the actual game than with players whose only experience is watching tournament videos.

But anyways, good to see that the game will finally be released on consoles even though we will have to wait until October for it to drop.

Like some have said, the most important thing right now is that the game has great netcode. I know there is a huge debate between online vs offline, but the fact is is that we live in a gaming generation where the majority of games are judge based on the online content it provides. Yes, we know there are offline communities, but the fact is that the KOF offline community in the USA is not as big as other countries. This is why GGPO level netcode is a must for this game.

As for other things, if you ask me there should be no other characters added to the game. The game has a big enough roster that it should satisfy everyone. If they do need to add characters, the only logical(at least to me) character to add would be Adelheid.

After that, give us challenges, color edit modes and the Terry Bogard MoTW outfit.

no, fuck no. extra characters that aint that gay ass dlc bs are a must imo. they had a year or even 2 to work on extra content. if theres extra characters in it, they better have yamazaki there.

Post by: Cibernetico on June 08, 2011, 07:28:36 AM
Why should Yamazaki be there exactly? Or for that matter, Billy and whoever the hell else people want that make no sense? Reason I say Adelheid should be there is because he has been in the Ash saga since 2003 so it's logical that he should be added.

if SNKP decides to make another KOF after 13 and if it's a Dream Match game, then yeah, I can see why Yamazaki would need to be added. But to just have him there just to be there in 13 is silly.

Let's not revisit the whole "No Mai, no buy" mindset again.

The only thing i want is the arcade version to be the same as the console version, no matter if it's rebalanced or version 1.2 or whatever, this way fans won't split between one or other version.

I want the same ASW did with BBCS2, gameplay-wise the current console and arcade are the same, after patches and extra characters added. The same with Capcom and their SSF4 AE.

If SNKP rebalance the game for consoles, i hope they do the same for arcades.

Yamazaki does make sense, because he was in KOF2003 and he is somehow related to Orochi Curse. I don't remember how exactly, but the KOF 2003 ending shows Yamazaki going nuts against Billy and Gato, which it's caused by Orochi seal been broken.

About point 1, well, Atlus needs to clean the name of KOF, so actually answering to casuals will be important, like if the netcode is truly good, some other extras or things like that, hell, you can answer them if there will be an special edition

And new characters will be cool to see, since already has happened a 1 year waiting to get the game, and maybe some extras like characters or stages will be cool, a 31 roster is cool, a 37 or 34 is even more cool, if they are not tournament worthy, well, at least there is some bonus, but if they don't add anything, I don't care, I'm still buying, if those are DLC, I will buy them too

Well, I selected her. But I have the feeling that those wankers people were more casual console version players than arcade ones who participate in tournaments... And if Mai is not selected enough is because she's not competitive in this game, not because people don't like her.

Someone please point Atlus to DC forums. I believe there are more dedicated players here compared to SRK. Since they want to hear opinions. These are mine:

-GGPO for netcode
-Balance tweaks for characters
-DLC characters or stage contents (I'm happy to buy all)
-Replay/record gameplay mode

Last but not least, I hope to see a new KOF in the future!

If Atlus announces GGPO or better netcoding, trust me, that's the only reasoning those players need to buy the game. Like I've said about this generation of gaming, the netcode of a game pretty much determines if the game sells well or not.

The people who are watching the tournament videos are going to be the ones shelling out the dough to buy the game too, so I think listening to both sides would be okay.

Yeah, that's very true, even MK9's netcode I heard was shitty, but those games are popular enough here in the USA in their own right that people will always sign up for their tournaments whenever they are planned.

couple things, besides yamazakis awesomeness he actually would fit in perfectly with 13's system. not to mention he makes more sense than some wack ass half assed adelheid. a unique and fitting char for 13, can easily be put in the story and is the only living orochi member out there. wtf any of this got to do with no name no buy is beyond me. especially considering this is a kof site where people actually wanna play the game and said characters. that comment made no fucking sense.

no, orochi members do not include leona. leona and iori are able to use orochi powers but are not orochi themselves. in fact they cant control it and have a shorter lifespan because of the blood in them. unlike REAL orochi members who can use it freely. in case yall didnt know, real orochi members, the 8 heads of the snake: Yamazaki, goenitz, yashiro, shermie, chris, gaidel, mature & vice. all dead, cept for the fucking man, mr batshit insane.

Orochi has a clan. The Hakkesshu were the 8 strongest. Gaidel was one of the Hakkesshu. Leona is Gaidel's daughter. Leona is not one of the Hakkesshu, but she is still an Orochi clan member (which is why she even has powers in the first place). Also, in XIII, Leona mentions repeatedly that she can control her powers, but just chooses not to use them. If I remember correctly, it was either in 99 or 2K where she had that special intro where her hair changes color from blue to red, showing that she was starting to get a grip on (but not fully) her powers.

Iori is a different story, since the Yasakani clan gained their powers by making a pact with Orochi. Doesn't really matter since he got his powers stolen, but if KOF continues on after XIII, we'll see what happens now that...

Sweet to hear this, from MMcafe Professor

Quote
Dokimajo producer Yoshinobu Matsushita confirms involvement in the game's development and makes a few comments on Twitter. He mentions good netplay in three tweets on a single day.

"We have collected all our development resources to KOFXIII to provide buffed-up game content and pleasant online play."

"The development (team) knows what's needed and is aiming for it: a fun fighting game, with good online play, and elements for the home console."

Extra content seems to be comfirmed, maybe color edit too. And looks like good online and fun offline game modes are comfirmed too, but I think this will never be comfirmed till release date...

Glad that this site was able to grow the way it did after that fateful conversation about a year or so ago.

solid attempt DarKaoZ. Some constructive criticism if you don't mind.

The feeling overall is solid, maybe slow down the cutting to the teams and whatnot. Also, I'm not a fan of the multiscreen stuff, as there's just way too much to follow and is painful on the eyes. Maybe mixing team pictures, with vids of them in action, with the finale ending on some Neomax finishes with some outlandish quote like "Time to Reclaim the throne" or something like that. Hope thats of some use.

Yeah, I see what you mean by those suggestions. But I usually do music videos, I like to make the video sync with the music more than anything else. I wanted to add more, but then I would had to edit the audio and I seriously did this in like 4 hrs. lol

In the multiscreen sections the only screen that really syncs with the music is the middle one with K EXDM, that is why it's in the middle and then it zoom in to it. I wanted to show more characters, so that is where the multiscreen idea kick in. But well, it's just to help the hype, maybe next time I will put more time into it. Thanks for the criticism!

Maybe Ash can return as a no-canon character, like the guests from XI.

Dark Ash is ok as buffed final boss, but is not worthy at all as playable character. Dark Ash black effect as "hidden palette" for Ash could be cool, but not as different playable char, he's nothing more than a buffed Ash with all his moves being EX.

You know, as much as I'd love to see Blue Mary return (in her Real Bout outfit, preferably), I don't think it will happen this game. For one reason.

A lot of Mary's special moves have very specific grab animations. When she grabs the opponent's arm, or locks their legs, SNK needs to animate not just her moves, but also her opponents in those positions. It's not a lot of animation, but, as far as I know, none of the current KOF characters have any such moves that require special reaction animations.

Y'know, even if the netcode sucks, people can still take the game to ranbats. MvC3 and MK9 both have pretty terrible netcode, but they still have big scenes due to offline tournament play. The main problem is that people don't have access to the game yet. The game itself is good, and that's what's important. I believe they already said it was going to be arcade perfect, so I'm not worried at this point.

Post by: SAB-CA on June 10, 2011, 01:31:25 PM
Man, emotions that flip at the drop of a hat, lol.

I don't know about PS3 users, but for 360, the "Improved" XII netcode was pretty much equal to a 3 or lower 4 bar match in SFIV at the time. The friends I was playing in rotation with all pretty much agreed: with the right people, it was almost BETTER than SFIV, as once it settled, it didn't fluxuate, making it easier to have consistent responses. I was playing from online to offline back to back, and staying consistent with my gameplay and timing, something that really kinda sucks in Vanilla IV, as those games seemed to pause and de-sync in mid gameplay on occassion, which REALLY threw me off.

The XII improved code is a decent basis to START with, compared to what the game had beforehand (netcode that slowed down the games actual movement, in order to keep button presses consistent. Hence "Like fighting underwater!"), but yeah, I know the words we'd all like to hear involve things like "Pre-match synchronization" "Predictive buffers" and "Rollback".

But that's why it's a GOOD thing that this release is towards the end of the year, right? They have TIME to react to community expectations. I really wonder if Atlus knows what they're getting themselves into here; if they can really find a way to assist SNKP with meeting the communities demands, then that will be fantastic, and a lot of hard work!

I'l be most interested to see what becomes of our questions to Atlus, and what'll happen when they relay impressions to SNKP (again)... I truly hope things go much better than they did with Ignition...

KOF XII patched version substituted laggy slow motion for input delay. At least in Europe. I didn't play USA or japan people, because it was unplayable (the same as SSFIV), but in SSFIV I can play with european ones with no problems. In KOF XII I can play against spanish people (same country) but I can't play french, deutch or italians. If they are going to base KOF XIII into KOF XII patched version online they must IMPROVE it, or the game will fail again.

Something to consider before freaking out: XII's netcode at release was horrible. The patch improved upon it considerably. If more work is put into the netcode, it could be as good as BB. In fact, does anyone know if the Samurai Shodown Sen is not the same netcode after improvement?

Don't worry, we'll definitely ask Atlus about the netcode. Both SNKP and Atlus understand the importance of good netcode at launch.

What improvement man?The imput lag is worse than MK.Like i said i am willing to film a comparison between KOF XII and ssf4 or mvc3 online with someone with a ps3 based in europe.I have the region 1 disk for KOF XII and cable internet.I can play ssf4 lagless most of the times (mvc 3 is a bit laggy sometimes but still enjoyable) but i couldn't play 1 match without imput lag in XII.I don't know who you played against (people across the street or a few miles away) but you sir are the only man on this planet that had a good online experience with XII :))

le: i will try later maybe some lost soul is still playing XII and show you the "improvements"

If they are going to base KOF XIII into KOF XII patched version online they must IMPROVE it, or the game will fail again.

Oh yeah, we agree, it needs to be improved ^_^ Just saying it's a better startpoint than what XII originally had, or the crap that SFII' Hyper Fighting had.

It's amazing how like.. very fighter that comes out, even BB, seems to mess up Netcode stuff early on. This is REALLY, REALLY why they need to run an online Beta! Even original BB had to get a day 1 patch to be as good as it was... and lets not even talk about MK9 (Which has frickin' Warner Brothers funding backing it!)

In fact, does anyone know if the Samurai Shodown Sen is not the same netcode after improvement?

Not a Clue... Sen doesn't really move well in my experience, so testing netcode with a game that already feels clunky OFFLINE is kinda iffy.

NGBC definitely feels like the best of the bunch, though; I found Japanese players on it that felt fairly good (I'm on East Coast US), which really was quite suprising. 2K2UM also gave me some decent matches VS Japan and Europe, though it could have been better (the games buffer systems are not as forgiving as NGBCs...)

I think nilcam is not saying he has a good online experience with XII. Is saying that the patch improved the first online of the game, and I must agree with that. But KOF XII patch wasn't enough, is still bad. Nicalm is pointing that with more work could get better, and this is what I want to get sure of. More work. That online needs to get improved.
I'm confident with KOF community feedbacks to Atlus and with Atlus itself. Don't let KOF fail again.

I don't know about the situation in Europe but I've had mostly good experiences post patch. I've played people regularly in Canada, Florida and, recently, Minnesota. I'm not saying it's perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it's been consistently good for me.

That netcode is also 2 years old. Since XIII was in development at the same time as XII, I'm sure they've put some time into it to improve the performance.

My point is that there's no reason to start freaking out over this information. It's far too early.

Nilcam and I played a near lagless match of XII a month ago because we shared the same upload and download connection speeds. He lives in Oklahoma and I live in MN. We can play with each other soon the prove that.

Fame Douglas and hdcloudstrife were playing KOFXII almost every night and they had near lag free matches because they share the same connection stats as well. If the KOFXIII netcode allows players of different bandwidths to play each other with some kind of rollback technology or whatever BB used, it can be great. I seriously think SNKP can do this if they listen to us, and allow us to help them test it somehow.

Assuming SNKP or Atlus aren't aware of the fact that laglessness was due to two players with the exact same connection speeds in XII, we should probably let both of them know.

Basically, GGPO has to be hardcoded into the actual game itself as the netcode has to be integrated within the game itself as in going into the actual source code for each character and adding the required lines of code where needed is what I would presume.

I'll take a wait and see approach. a beta would help quite a bit though, especially if done early enough.

Also remember that 3rd Strike has been on GGPO itself for ages. A lot of the "heavy lifting" was probably already done by Ponder himself, minimizing the issues greatly.

Based on Arcadia's rankings, it seems games tend to get a boost in popularity prior to console releases. MvC2 randomly appeared in the rankings before MvC3's release, for example. And Japan doesn't even like Marvel!

I expect XIII will get a similar boost, but I don't know how much.

Sorry if you see this as off topic. But I live in Sweden and I was playing XII with a friend, who is also a swede, to try it out again some time after the release. We usually only have little delay when playing BlazBlue, but when we tried XII again post-patch, we experienced alot of delay. This was on PSN btw.
Dunno if we were just having a bad day connection-wise, though, but I wouldn't think so.

Anyway, I'm so psyched for XIII and it feels weird to have a confirmed console port.

Congrats on getting the job :).

As for the arcade scene, it depends on where you're talking about.  In Japan, like Rex Dart said, it seems console releases actually help the arcade scene (I'd guess since people are able to practice more easily that way, and then the arcades are where you truly test your skills).  Where I am (Toronto, Canada), the arcade doesn't get a ton of attention to begin with for most fighting games, so console releases tend to mean that the few dedicated players there are can just get together at a house or something and play for free, with maybe a trip to the arcade if more than 3 or 4 people organize a time to play.  Aside from SSF4AE, I rarely see more than two people on any of the machines (XIII is actually the one I've most often seen at least 3 on, counting myself *laughs* ), and I'm pretty sure the local scene for Guilty Gear only comes if there's a group coming in from another city to play with them.  I'd think there's some activity with 3rd Strike, since there are 3 machines for it (never saw them getting used enough to warrant 3 machines, even when I was playing it, but maybe I just wasn't coming at the right times *shrugs* ), and the MvC2 machine has gotten more play in one week than I've ever seen the Melty Blood machine that it replaced get (even though I know some local players who really like Melty...they just don't go to the arcade for it).

But yeah, I guess the short answer is each arcade scene handles itself differently regarding console releases *laughs*

With KOFXIII arcade releasing with 9 new playable character models and 1 new unplayable one, do you think SNKP might have 5-9 new characters for releasing with the port on launch day?

It seems that, despite that KOFXIII has been disappearing from the arcades, the recent console announcement is bringing back its popularity. There's tournaments in Tokyo almost on a weekly basis now.

These aren't tournament videos, but more footage are coming.

I've just seen the Revelations video and I have to admit that you DC guys are amazing. I hope SNKp appreciates what you do for KOF. I've seen in many forums ppl paying attention to KOF cause of that rev tourney.

The last year made me have doubts about KOF's survivability but now I think with fans like you this game will never die. And again I hope SNKp appreciates your hard work.

Sometimes I pinch myself to see if I'm still dreaming.  To have made it this far, without completely pissing of the community, still keeping some ppl interested in XIII, console release on the horizons, is a long shot.  The road is still long and windy ahead of us but with a great community with passionately driven players--nothing is impossible.

I think KOF XIII it will be a great game even without a good netcode. I mean, it's an awesome game and a great KOF. Netcode is a very important thing to become a succesful played game and Atlus/SNKP shouldn't fail on that feature, but even without a good netcode I think KOF XIII will revitalize KOF franchise and will take more presence and importance in fighting games scene.

i have to agree with diavle here im pretty there are a lot of people around the world who have little to no competition where they live so while many of you think that if the netcode is bad that it won't kill it so much i think it might have a big impact, if the net code is sub par  it will just turn out like XII again and im sure most of us wont like to hear all the shit talking again. snk needs to hit the ground running and knock every mother fucker out the way, not start out fast then pass out five minutes in.

Post by: SAB-CA on June 20, 2011, 11:27:31 PM
Should be quite interesting to see that Joe combo from Dune & Co.

On the subject of Netcode... lets not put any reasons for them NOT to work on good netcode as a priority out in the open, eh? One thing to keep in mind about netcode for modern fighters: It's as much a fun thing for the gamers, as it is an advertising tool for the game to sell on, and appear in tournaments.

Online play helps keep a game alive. It keeps it in front of peoples eyes. It lets a game survive longer, so that releasing DLC makes sense. And in SNKP's case, good online play would take away one of the biggest stigmas that the company has aganist it, with the gamers.

The potential of the game would be seriously underserved if the netcode is bad. Even for those who don't care about it personally, you'd be less likely to see support for the game in the future, if poor netcode leaves it to be forgotten, as soon as the next online-capable game comes out, and steals it's players, who ran out of friends who care to play local every night with them.

For that matter, think about things like online clan battles, VS offline ones. To play online, all 6 people would need to buy a copy. To play offline, one guy could buy it, and invite his friends over. When considering the thousands of players who'll be interested, that'd be a lot of money to leave on the table.

So wheither it's of personal importance or not, lets not talk down the major significance of good online play, in this current age of consoles. If we want this game, and the series, to live on, it needs to be a top-tier product straight out the gate!

What I mean by that is nearly all of us gave a fair amount of time to the fighting games we played and at this point no matter how much time you played the game on the hardest difficulties or trainned it get boring quicks online is so crucial for us to improve our skills, but for other people who aren't too keen on fightings games online could mean nothing to them( just personal thoughts) Just some guy who likes the genre

What? It's the other way around. Tournaments for most serious players are generally offline (due to instability). Most fighting game scenes, which have offline versions, see online play as casual rather than competitive. I'll give you the fact that online play does help with longevity and makes it accessible to a larger base, but for the most part, it does not fulfill the needs of competitive play. I understand people want great netplay (I do too), but don't spread the misconception that online play is necessary for competitive players.

While I will judge the port and netcode separately, KOFXIII NEEDS good netcode. It has to be better than SFIV and, preferably, on par with BlazBlue Calamity Trigger. Furthermore, our scene needs the game to have good netcode. We have a small but dedicated player base. We need more players in order for the SNK scene to be taken seriously.

@Remzi

MVC 3 netcode is fucked up but playable (about 1 in 3 it's laggy for me, the rest play fine - but not as good as ssf4).SSF4 netcode is good.There are a lot of players now in tournaments that came from the online (not all cities have a fighting game scene) and the best example is Wolfkrone - How the fuck is he so good if the netcode was "unplayable , or shit"? This is a must because not all of us have local competition or any competition in out area.I play ssf4 time to time on psn and works more than decent for me and most of the people i know - if they do not have shitty internet.Those bitchin about the sff4 netcode have either realy bad internet conexions or they like to talk nonsense.It's not 100% like the offline but is more than playable and good for training.
If playmore could deliver at least a mvc 3 online i would be surprised but bad netcode like XII or mk9 will just kill the game.They might as well not advertise this as online compatible and sell it with 30 $.

It's bad because it took away some tools from some characters who at best are above average and didn't take any tools from the already top characters which in turn makes them even more dangerous due to not having to worry about those tactics no longer being there.  You basically screw someone over and then leave the others as is which makes them even more powerful.

Thing is you don't get many chances to do Urien's shit.  It requires two super bars to do the Aegis setups.  So it isn't something that's easily abusable.  And if you mess it up, you don't really have another chance to do it again.

Still you need super to do it and it doesn't build up that quickly.

Your lack of knowledge is showing. Once again the Unblockables are escapeable and don't do anyting to make Urien or Oro OP. And just standing their and whiffing especially with urien or Oro is going to get you punished hard and rushed the fuck down, once saw Hayao punish RX whiffing Standing MP with EX Clothesline, good times. And god forbid if you do that against a Gouki or Makoto player. The strength of Whiffing to build meter is grossly overestimated by people who don't play the game.

Anyway hella off topic

On topic, personally I'd rather not see any balance changes, I've always prefered playing games as is unless it's a major update.

Lol, yeah because when I said whiffing normals I meant to stand right in their face and do it. Whiffing normals to build meter is the norm in this game if you think otherwise then you are wrong. Watch pretty much any high level match and you will see it.

Oh and you must be amazing to easily escape Urien's traps, b/c Japan's best sure as shit can't 99% of the time.

Anyway, 3rd Strike was a valid example before we trailed off into a discussion. My question is directed at the SoCal guys who seem to be in contact with No.17 and Dune. I'm interested in knowing what the arcade scene there thinks of a balance patch.

Someone is teasing at SRK forums, saying that they know what kind of netcode SNKP will use for KOFXIII, here are the post:


Quote from: pablofsi
I have confirmation from someone that collaborates closely with Atlus and the KOF XIII development team about the netcode, I can't say anything, -anything, but when I knew what KOF XIII will use as it's netcode, and I'm a huge skeptic, I became very happy and all I can say is that KOF XIII will have the best netcode of -all-, yes, and it's not an overstatement, ALL console fighting games released till now. News should be coming soon... at an important event somewhere. Sorry people, I can't clear up anything else.

8 Letters? Obviously its not GGPO, but someone said "RollBack", that is 8 letters, that would work. But at least there is some "rumors" for now.

In marketing speak, "Based on XII's" could easily just mean to expect the same features XII had (such as replay saving, lobbies with chat interface and room naming, clan / team battles, and the Arcade / Player Match / Ranked Match settings.)

Why are thse 8 mentioned letters golden, though? Is that a hint in and of itself?

But yeah, I'm happy to wait for the official stuff. But it'd be nice to see little leaks like this (along with "The dumb version", as DarK put it somewhere on this forum) hyping the game up a bit.

That being side, if the game is based on XII LIKE sab-ca said, the game should be fine, I liked the lobby method in that game, maybe with some twists should be perfect

add in the fact they had 2 whole years to work on the console version, i dont think its stretching to think theyd have some characters ready for the console version. snkp hasnt been working on any games cept xiii for the last 2 years iirc, and strike witches?

i think the best package they can give for fans is a balanced kof xiii console with best online possible and 6 to 9 extra characters, and maybe a new bg or 2 or 3 of them. in fact the bg's aint important imo, extra characters and netcode are the 2 most important things right now. closely followed by rebalancing (nerfing top 4, buffing bottom 4).

Looking at some of the Mexico forums and I found this:

http://img835.imageshack.us/i/kofxiii.png/

Looks like the popularity of KOF XIII has suddenly boomed in Mexico, from what I read this was supposed to be a small local tournament and they had such a big turnout that they capped it at 32 since they only have one setup and it looks like it was single match double elimination.

Also the 2nd place winner YYSU is planning to come to EVO, It will be nice to see how much have this guys improve.

The link works if you refresh it a few times, at least it did for me!

Anti FF team VS the Fatal Fury team, hehe. I guess we can at least count on 1 New edit team ending, eh?

I could see the new stage being something like a garden maze for the Berstein family estate of something... Or something to do with Elisabeth's nobility. I'd be perfectly cool with this stage lacking an army of characters, and instead focusing on evironmental details and maybe a hidden cameo that appears only during certain conditions. As long as it goes through changes per round!

Hope the SNKP and Atlus websites start to update with some teasers soon...

hello guys,

I have been a lurker here for some time and i would like to thank this community for everything it brought and for sticking with the King of Fighters. I am a fan of 2d based fighting games since i knew them (since street fighter 2); its a great feeling to see them back again.

At this point, KOF XIII has only been announced for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Thanks for the info I'm kind of surprised to see a new stage so soon maybe snk has so many more additional

look forward to more info from him.

He says the info is not clear. Billy is announced as exclusive content of the game, and it says "DLC included in pre-order". No more details. Professor from MMcafe points the same. The info is not clear at this point.
So to know if that pre-order bonus is Billy or not, we will have to wait to hear more precise info, coming from SNKP or Atlus, I guess. Professor from MMcafe points the same. The info is not clear at this point

-nod- I don't know if there are any set conditions. It seems just to be a chance for seeing them in certain stage forms. I don't think the way the last round was won, or the timer, or anything like that, has anything to do with it in this case.

But there are some stage gimmicks that directly are caused by the player (like knockdowns on the Jungle stage causing things to fall from the ceiling, or comboing/winning in corners causing a woman to cheer you on in the french stage, or a dog to pop out of the corner in the China stage.) Universally, the BG characters also zoom faster in speed the more intense your combos get.

the guy was talking about fdf1 obviously, not rb games and such. theres a shitload of motw characters not in kof, and their from ff as well.

im really hoping the dlc wont be characters tha would really suck. music and bg's, im willing to pay for those if their no on disc. characters as dlc is just retarded imo.

and billy looks best in his 95 outfit, it was his original kof outfit and ff outfit and looks realest on him. the rb outfit looked fake as fuck with those shitty boots of his. painter billy ftmfw.

also that pic in the link didnt work with google chrome, did work with explorer. but its here already so doesnt matter. cant eait for additional info, with these 2 extra years to work on 13 im expecting a LOT of new shit. at least 3 to 6 new characters along with awesome online. maybe even 9 new characters, but that pushing it. we should probably be happy if we get 1 coplete team added.

also anybody notice how my beloved evil characters are not in this game. none of the boss team, no yamazaki and nada. either way lets see what well be getting. and hope that the characters at least have a complete moveslist and are not filled wit bugs and glitches.

again for the last time, i hope the dlc wont be characters, anytyhing but that.

No English dub? Why?I mean, they got ATLUS, they can do awesome dubbing. I actually liked Iori and other characters English voices from XII. =/

Anyways, is good that the SNKP think the netcode is the most important thing for the console. Unfortunately they didn't mention what method they are using. Hopefully something they did but that is on par or if not better than GGPO rollback.

And is good to know there will be a New Story mode that is different from the Arcade experience. So I can definitely see they are taking the BlazBlue route with it.

I'm sure a lot of European players got some new info though.

Great interview. My favorite parts of the interview:

"what was said was that the developer had learned a great deal from KOF XII and was using that experience as a foundation for the netcode in XIII. It is not based on the “same old XII” netcode."

"GS: Will there be English voice dubbing?
KY: It will be Japanese voice only. We believe that will provide the players with the best KOF XIII experience."

"GS: Will the game text be translated into any other languages?
KY: We want as many players to enjoy the original arcade dialogue and the console version’s new Story Mode as possible, so the in-game text will be in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Korean."

"GS: Are there any plans to release this in Europe?
KY: An announcement regarding the European release of KOF XIII will be made soon."

It most likely mean that is a new netcode or that the method they are using to eliminate lag is not the same as the XII method.

I understand if they don't use GGPO, I don't think GGPO can work in everything, but as long as they use the same method to reduce lag, I think they will do fine.

Since the voices have no impact on gameplay, I'm glad they're skipping out on it. Spend the money more wisely by focusing on netcode.

Not really, I rather enjoyed laughing at engligh Kim "The Vaccum Cleaner" Kaphwan's "HangetZUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" As well as the ridiculously deep voice Andy had for "SHO-KENNN!". English Iori seemed to be the same voice from Maximum Impact 2, and Chin wasn't too bad at all; sounded like an old man, lol.

At any rate, yeah, I'm glad they're spending money on "game stuff" and not VA work, but I'd still love to hear Jamieson Price as Maxima some day! XD

If those are the voices they use for dubs they might aswell go the snoopy route with some nice trombone crap.. Maybe those voice actors are good, i don't know. But just like english voices in sf4 it does sound like most voices will at their very best be acceptable.. Others nauseating. Then again, i almost always hate english dubs so who knows. As long as i can switch over to the japanese voices i'm happy.

True, also, as a note: KOF XII's English voice acting took place in Tokyo, which explains why SNK couldn't hire actors based in America like before with KOF MI2.

Probably that, or SNK couldn't afford to hire voice actors that are actually based in California.

I hope the game has a good, color manual. Those are a dying breed now-a-days!

As an owner of strictly a US 360, I wouldn't be importing... I'd just wait for the US release. But it sounds like they're going for near-same-day releases with the 25th/27th dates mentioned so far (almost the same time, when you take into account timezones), so I'm not really worried about it.

Never get too hyped for SNKP release dates, lol. Look at how long it took Trouble Witches NEO! and 2K2UM to come out! Not even going to mention PS2 and Xbox release dates.

And as far as DBZ... that's a whole different market as far as I'm concerned. If they get XIII into demo Kiosk, I could imagine some entering the stores for DBZ, but walking out with XIII!

Sorry, I assumed you meant importing instead of getting the US version. I got no beef with anyone who wants to get both versions. I personally don't have the kind of money to be buying the same game twice (or in my case 3 times since I am planning on buying a copy for a friend that I am desperately trying to convert to KOFism), but to each his own I guess.

As for the release date itself, I'm confident that the 25th is accurate. We did get KOFXII 2 full days before the japanese did if I recall correctly.

mmm, I will translate it.

Intro: Finally has arrived, the fighting game that was released on arcades in the summer of 2010. With a roster of 30 characters, it will start an incomparable fight

In the console version there will be more than six game modes, this game will conserve the NEOMAX moves which were introduced on the arcades. (so yeah, no new neomax)

BIG LETTERS: BILLY KANE ON SCENE, ONLY FOR KOF XIII ON CONSOLES

Billy: With his fighting technique using a 3 part stick, and making his return since KOF 2003, Billy Kane is back to make their enemies suffer with fire.

Next Page

THE ASH SAGA FINALLY COMING TO AN END

The mysteries surronding Ash Crimson will finally be revealed for complete.

DECIDE THE FATE OF THE MATCH WITH THE SPECIAL ATTACK NEOMAX

Using 3 stocks you can make a NEO MAX and change the destiny of the combat

NEW STAGES INCLUDED

There are plans to include  new varied stage.

WITH ONLINE GAME TOO!

Tons of aspects had been fixed from the last entry of the series, and one of them is the online game, which is now more fluid

The new stage looks really nice. It's not full of people or anything, but it looks as if it'll possibly be a return to form of having some "Gorgeous water/nature stage" in SNK fighters. And if they keep up the trend, we should have a nice sweeping pic of it up on their website before release, lol.

Should be interesting to see what they pull off with Billy's color palette... hope they have one that looks just like Franco Bash!

I think that new background is for Story Mode, I can definitely see that, it reminds me to a garden, which is most likely by Elizabeth Mansion? And after seen that, is the Story mode taking place before, after or during the tournament?

Call me crazy, but I think the Story mode will take place After the Tournament and it will be a story mode to bring back Ash. I doubt SNKP will kill the "Hero" of a saga that easily.

Excited at the look of the new stage, almost reminds me of the nature stage from SVC, minus the waterfall. I was hoping for the return of the Russia stage from XII, but now they give us one that looks too real to be spritework.

I though Bao was already somewhere on the China stage. And a double-shot of good news from the professor.

Eh, could be Bao... but who wants to see him? XD WASTE OF PIXELS! ;)

Seriously, though, this is already a bit more stages than I'd expect to see so soon. They mentioned a good stage takes as much time to make as a character, so so far, we've seen a 4 character budget worth of new stuff...

Now to wonder what Atlus gets to share with us. Will we see some additional details, or will they just replicate SNKP's info for english audiences?

Hopefully Atlus opens the KOF XIII site up already. I hope it looks like the KOFXIII arcade site, that site was really impressive IMO.

Which bring me to my other thought... why have SNKP released such a lame site for the Console version? =/

Rose was signing her invites the same way, wasn't she?

And DarK, I guess they're (so far) just thinking "well, the Arcade site DOES still exist!"

But going by SNKP's other websites for home releases, I think they're just going to open it up more and more as content is revealed. We'll probably have gameplay of each new character, explanation for each new mode, and a gallery of screens for new content, by the time it's over.

A translation from Professor of MMCafe regarding the SNKP Blog update:

Quote from: Professor
SNKP's blog has been updated, but not much info there. Still, two noteworthy excerpts.

"We released new info on the console version of KOFXIII; the release date, price, and that Billy will be added in as a new character. Today was just a part of the unveiling, more details weill be disclosed later. Maybe it's about time we had the development staff come out."

"There will be a downloadable character as a pre-order bonus. What kind of character could it be...."


(Anyone's guess: Take Iori, modify him a bit, add flames. )

I like what Professor translated about this part:
Quote
According to SNKP's Matsushita, the home console version of KOFXIII will feature some old stages in the KOF series, albeit redrawn in HD graphics.

http://twitter.com/matsushita_8bit/status/86699408049184768
Oh, so the new backgrounds have been announced! The concept behind them are "Easy to the eye, undisturbing to the gameplay (give the spectators regular physiques)", "Release previous KOF backgrounds and new backgrounds in beautiful HD quality". They're the effort of hard work by the background's staff!

http://twitter.com/matsushita_8bit/status/86701450096422912
So that's the concept behind having the previous backgrounds, but they might've taken my request when I said "I'd love to see the old KOF backgrounds in HD quality". The old stages in HD will really make your heart pound, they look like High-res NeoGeo!

We should have our answers next week. They've been in touch with me about it. ON asked their questions first and they only submitted 5 so they got answers first.

Nilcam, since Atlus are the homies now see if you can slide in a "What's good with Power Instinct" question next time you talk to them. Seeing as I might never play Ancestor's Commiseration without them knowing that people actually want to play the game in the first place.

And those new stages are bad ass. For a second before I realized that was the inside of Big Ben I thought that there was a Club Illusion stage. SNK, do that. Pao Pao 1 is too nice for words. Now I gotta have that throwback soundtrack for that stage alone. And big ups to Krauser and Laurence. I wonder if Krauser was in XIII would he look more like his FF/KoF version or would they beef him up like in Real Bout?

Now, where's DAT ADEL, DAT EIJI, DAT GEESE, DAT DUCK KING, DAT MARY, DAT YAMAZAKI, DAT HEIDERN, DAT TSUGUMI, DAT (Insert Character Here from another SNK/ADK/Fighter's History).

Random thought of the day. May Lee in DAT XIII voiced by Hikaru Yamamoto (Kamen Rider W's Akiko). 2 of my favorite things together in one package. Nice.

And now that I've seen Lily I gotta go get on some Reg A for no reason at all.

Might already be the same stage?

I also wonder if what looks like the current "Elisabeth's Destroyed Manor" could eventually have a stormy rain during one of it's transitions.

We really don't have ANYTHING out on a normal, semi-modern street or back-alley yet, either.

So Something like

Hey, does someone recognize who is the character between Krauser and Lawrence? I can see someone else, but I don't recognize him.
if i m not mistaken that old guy is Jubei from FF2/S

Hmm... you might up to something. Weird to see Jubei between those 2.

Weird indeed.. I also want to see The KOF 2002 Holland Stage redone in HD.

And I also want to apologize to everyone for making a fuss over the game's English Dub, I just don't want this game to be released as a download on PSN, I'd rather have it on disc, that is why I wanted a dub.

I also don't want KOF XIII to suffer the same fate as Arcana Heart 3 and Record of Agarest War, they were released on PSN because of the lack of English Dubs.

Nah, that won't happen to KOFXIII, besides those 2 games got release as Downlodable Content because of their possible misinterpretation by the media/parents. I mean, those games kinda sexualize characters that might look as pre-teens/teens, so that was the main reason IIRC they weren't retail released.

Yakuza 3 and 4 didn't have English Dubs and they got Disc release. But anyways, I want KOFXIII to have both English and Japanese voices and the option to select which one to hear like SSF4 does.

I guess you're right, games that don't have English Dubs can be released on Disc as well. Like Yakuza as you mentioned.

I also wanted that option too, for those that don't want to play with English voices, they can also play it with Japanese voices

Well, that feels kinda like a ring, so I never really think about it being "On the street" like the street stages in 98 and XI... but yeah, guess it does count, lol.

Along with probably being able to at least fight in the Volcanic-looking Saiki stage, we actually have a very nice selection of stages already. Though I wonder now, if they'll make any certain stages have differnet forms as you fight? England and the Egyptian temple are the biggest changers ATM, so could they add more to already existing ones for console release?

You guys ever notice that characters from other teams are often included in the endings.

Ash's ending has Shen, DuoLon and Oswald.
Joe / Terry / Andy's ending has Mary, Mai and some random transvestite.
Kim / Hwa / Raiden's ending has Chang and Choi.

We know that Billy might be in the game, and Mary was on his team a set of times. Does that mean that Chang, Choi, Oswald, and anybody else featured in the ending could make it into this game? It's a stretch to say that it's a definite yes, but there's a chance those characters could show.

Don't be so optimistic with Yamazaki and BlueMary. We have Billy already, and seeing that all names found in XII's disc datas have appeared, seems classic Iori will be there too... So Billy+Classic Iori means Eiji as third member...

I don't care about Yamazaki, but I do about Mary because she was a main of mine... But having 8 FF characters already, I wouldn't see Eiji as a bad addition.

I really doubt that Iori 98 will be put as a stand alone character, so he will be just like all the ex characters in the past, so he will not make a team with billy and Eiji (unless, they made some wacky twist where they explain that Iori 98 is some spirit that those from the past created)

But I could see Eiji making the cut in the game, it fits well their idea to revive old characters

And I can't see why the orochi can't comeback, if vice and mature could, everybody has a chance

Iori 98 could be in the game for story purposes? I can see him been used for the story in the new Story Mode. Maybe retelling the events of 2003/XI or showing what happen after XIII. So I don't see why not Iori 98 can be a single entry just for story purposes.

If anyone is going to accompany Billy to make a full team I'm certain it will be Mary and Yamazaki. In this game SNKP has shown a very obvious pattern of putting characters in their classic team lineups with only a couple of exceptions. Take this in account with the popularity of those two characters and you get yourself a very safe bet. And if Iori '98 is in this game, I am sure he will be a stand alone character.

i think people need to understand that the orochi characters are dead, asking for rugal, goenitz, yashiro, chris and shermie when they are dead?

Unfortunately (or possibly fortunately), bringing back Mature and Vice in the manner they did basically opens up the possibility of anyone coming back.

Thats would feel weird.. I'd assume that if he appears without a team upon release he would get two team mates as dlc later on, though i hope they don't do character dlcs. Or atleast that they don't do or announce character dlcs around launch because that would just make the game feel incomplete.

Nah, I'm not saying that is what it's been confirmed. I just said that I believe they could go with that route. Oswald is a Hired Assassin/Hitman (IIRC), in XI he was hired by Ash. I don't see why Geese couldn't hire him to enter the tournament with Billy and Yamazaki if that team was to be made.

I will keep believing that both Oswald and Yamazaki will be part of a team with Billy. Oswald is hired by Geese, Yamazaki will do what Geese tell him and Billy is just there to keep an eye on them. That could make sense after 2003 ending.
Huh, true. There was a concept picture of Oswald as well.
Remember these?

eiji is comical relief, mary and yamazaki outclass him in prett much every area. same goes for oswald and gato, who i also wouldnt mind in billys team if mary doesnt make it (mary isnt always with billys team, yamazaki is). i wouldnt mind oswald instead of mary or gato to be honest. would make this bu far the coolest default team in the game.

Since when? Eiji is always serious business.

I think a team of Billy, Eiji and Yamazaki would be perfect. The Outlaw Dream Team.

Oswald can go chug a dick, he was borked as hell, we don't need him to come back again.

If Gato was gonna return... he better be accurate to his MOTW movelist. I was not happy he lost his dp+K and counter in 2k3 and XI and gained some new command jump-teleport dash neck snap thing. Just doesn't feel like the Gato I know.

Hinako is the worst sumo wrestler ever.

But SNK can redeem her.

If they made her look like this -
(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3813/sumogirl.jpg)

Malin is just a loli Choi. Choi was already a terrible character, but turn him into a girl = Win? lol

Well, Malin is still better than Choi.

Chang... Chang is just a dumb design period.

And I quote Frank Yagami -
Quote
To call him a convincing retard is an understatement, and I'm not even talking about the way he looks. The way he acts, sounds, and fights is also distinctively retarded. Visually, he's nothing more than poor man's Zangief... Who just ate an entire McDonald's restaurant. Comic relief? I guess... if you think fat homeless guys who pretend to know TaeKwonDo are funny.

The idea of Hinako is that she isn't a fat sumo wrestler, that's why I like her design
Title: Re: The King of Fighters XIII 2ND |OT| Thread: Final Edition
Post by: DarKaoZ on July 03, 2011, 09:57:21 PM
Hinako is original, I mean you don't have to be fat to practice Sumo Wrestling. Obviously the sport rewards those who are fat, because it's harder to push them out. But in a fight, the sumo fighting style can work against people with normal weight. So IMO Hinako not been fat fits well in KOF, since most of her opponent aren't fat and huge. So she is not that out of picture as martial artist, about her design, well that is another subject. I say it's odd, but that adds and makes her more interesting visually. Is hard to imagine a Blond European girl doing Sumo Moves, I wouldn't have never thought of that, so I give SNKP credit for creativity.

Malin has never been on my liking list, I don't like her voice and she can be annoying. But her design is not bad, is just her voice and the gameplay she has. I think SNKP tried to pull out a character that used Yoyo's like Bridget from GG, but it didn't end up well IMO. Her fight style doesn't really work that well either, but I can see the potential in her if they change a little her fight style.

Choi and Chang... I rather not talk about those 2, I just don't like them. =/

To do sumo wrestling, you need to be fat. Also, to do any martial art you need to be asian, and to eat hamburgers you need to be American.
I don't see how Chang is that bad anyways. He's an original character and whatnot. It'd be interesting to see him with the fully mastered Hienzan and whatnot.
In KOF13, we don't have a fast, annoying character who bounces around the screen.
Malin's nice, although I agree that she could be redesigned a bit.

I doubt that this will happen, but will be cool if all the sprites are being prepared to make KOF XIV, which will be the dreammatch of the ash saga, problem, is that you need tons of new characters according to their previous entries in 2003 and XI

Tizoc
Jhun
Chang
Gato
Yamazaki
Blue Mary
Shingo
Hinako
Malin
Whip
Chizuru
Adheleid
Oswald
Duck King
Vanessa
Ramon
Eiji
Kasumi
B. Jenet
Momoko
Gai
Silber
Hayate
Jyazu


So, there are 24 characters that had appeared within the ash tales, but I seriously doubt that they will had 24 more characters if they ever develop XIV (unless they release the game in 2 more years, and being generous) lus add other classic characters like the new face team

Hello

There has been a very interesting post on a famous french forum about movies ( ... )

Quote
ohlalalala...
Ohlalala...
Sa race...
Mais ça va juste être une PUTAIN DE TUERIE la version console !!

Je ressors de 2h intensives de la version X360 debug et c'est juste m-o-r-t-e-l.

Alors debug oblige, y'a des stages pas encore finis (genre fond vert au second round), certaines musiques pas encore implémentées, les couleurs des persos qui manquent, le roster encore incomplet (y'a tout les mecs de l'arcade et même plus, mais on sent qu'il y a encore de la place pour d'autres), mais déjà rien que l'esquisse du truc, ça laisse présager du bonheur en barre de titane.\o/

Y'a pas à s’inquiéter pour la crainte plus haut des gros pixels, c'est juste que mon pote l'avais essayé avant sur une TV pas full HD (), et donc sur une TV qui va bien, c'est aussi beau que l'arcade (voir plus, vu que l'écran est plus grand).

A prendre avec des pincettes vu que la version finale sera peut-être différente, mais pour l'instant en selectionnables dès le début, en plus du roster de l'arcade, y'a:

- Billy Kane (bon, de tout les persos qu'ils pouvaient ajouter, j'en aurais bien vu d'autres, genre Saishû Kusanagi () ou Vanessa, mais c'est cool quand même)
- Saiki (mais dans une version ni torse poil musclé, ni en ombre. Là, c'est un genre d'Ash avec des cheveux longs, mais avec une movelist trèèès intéressante =p)

Pas vu de boss vu qu'on s'est acharnés sur le VS, mais on n'est pas à l'abri d'une bonne surprise.

J'ai compté 4 ou 5 nouveaux stages en plus de ceux de la version arcade, dont certains pas finalisés, mais tous sont plus magnifiques les uns que les autres. Le tableau steampunk de Billy Kane est juste terrible, celui du temple éclairé uniquement par des torches rouges est superbe et renvoi bien à l'ambiance de certains stages des anciens KOF, les deux pas finalisés en plan fixe (une allée désaffectée et un autre avec des ruines dans la nature) vont claquer, celui dans l’espèce d'avion est sympa, d'autres que j'oublie mais surtout, ils ont remis le stage du Ponj du 96 mais version 2011 (avec les passants dans la rue au loin et tout), et avec en prime en fond sonore: Esaka ! (et là j'étais comme un ouf)


Sinon le jeu est aussi nerveux et rapide qu'en arcade, avec la maniabilité toujours au poil de cul (même si les pads xbox, c'est la pire invention ever pour des jeux de stomb 2D, faute de sticks =/)

Pas essayé les galeries et autre conneries de mode mission, online, ect, mais dans les 4 mecs qui l'ont essayé avec moi, même ceux qui sont pas forcément férus de jeux de stomb, le verdict était unanime: ÇA. BUTE.

For those of you who don't speak french :
- It was a debug version of the game so there was a lot of unfinished tings like missing colors, musics, or unmoving stages...
- Billy was playable. Saiki was playable but NOT the muscular boss version of the arcade... It's the Saiki we see in the cut scenes, with a interesting movelist.
- 4 or 5 new stages. A temple with red torches, the Billy Big ben one, Betie's garden, one who takes place in a plane, a deserted alley... and the famous japan stage from KOF 96 totally redrawn in HD.
- This was posted on june 25 of this year ( before we knew anything about Billy, or/and the new stages... )

*cackle* Charge motion, cookie throwin grapplers FTW! *Jubei/Popeye style laugh*

Ok, I'd like Chang and Oswald too. Chang would just look too awesome like that in gameplay, that's a top-tier sprite. I'd gladly take Chin, Jubei, and Oswald as my conterfeit "Team Jiji" edit team, lol. Though I'd still like to see Tung, expecially if he had Real Bout series style power.

At any rate, I hope they don't waste any time on an EX Kyo. EX Iori, ok, sure, but Kyo? Might as well make him Shingo instead.

The prospect of a fleshed-out Saiki sounds like a good console extra, TBH. The "White Ash" version, not the nude muscle man thing. Maybe if it looked more like Mukai, but not as it is.

how are theyn rumors with proof when snkp only made a single non animated sprite to show how said character would look in XIII style. if anything, id bet money on it that these characters WON'T be in the game. im talking about the ones weve seen i sprtie form from snkp themselves. dont you think its funny that they wouldnt show a character thats actually gonna be in it (billy) but show characters of which they made 1 spritework (not animated) that are not gonna be in it.

Yay or nay?

Yay if they're revealed to be playable, Nay until then. We can talk about them in general for now, if needed, but the character section is more about strategies and fight discussion.

If, indeed it's going to be the '95 incarnation of Iori, then he's going to be missing his trademark Scum Gale command throw.  I sense a riot coming...
A lot of characters are missing a lot of moves... I don't want to see extra characters with more complete movelists than characters are already in the game from the beginning.

I like XIII's Kim team, but I really don't care... Well, for me Eiji and Mary would be great, but if not, oh well...
But what I really like about those rumors is Ash+Saiki+someonelse (Botan could be cool) as team. I always found a nonsense Ash participates in KOF as single entry. To participate in KOF you must have a 3 member team or you can't, so I never understood when Botan gives KOF invitation to Ash to participate alone (told in Ash story). But Ash participating with Saiki (normal form) and Botan would make a lot of sense, even the ending fits better in the game if we have that team. They could be the final team before Saiki transformed and Dark Ash. At the same time, to work on Saiki normal form (Ash head swap probably) and Botan, characters who probably will never come again... looks like a waste of time and money.

iori needs to be made way more awesome than he is right now. only thing im feeling about him right now is his neomax. his normal moves should have shashes that big and far reaching, that way it would actually look a little cooler and more yagami, i mean brutal. that neomax should have been his normal dp for all i care. he is WAY too tame and a little boring imo. he just isnt the dangerous yagami i used to know anymore. losing fire isnt equall to losing your badassness. and thats exactly just what has happened to the yagami i once mained...

I must say that I love the new Iori, his moves and his style make him more badass. What I only think he is missing is that his normals should have that slash effect, but smaller and only on hit. Kinda like how Elizabeth light only happens when she hits an opponent. Just to make him more awesome of what he is IMO.

Anyways, this Iori is a love or hate Iori, but is funny that you think his slashes make him look more tame, but I find that it does the contrary effect. lol

But each to their own, I respect your opinion, just brought mine and pointed out what I find cool about him. Still we might get both Iori's, the new and the old one, both are awesome.

you didnt get my point actually, i do like the slashing iori, more than fire iori, not as much as fire and slash iori but whatever.

my main gripe with this iori isnt that he uses slashes, but the way he uses slashes. the way he uses it in his NM looks great and the scream and slashing sound make him look and feel totally bad ass. those tame bitchass looking scratches he uses on his normal moves look like ass and are way too small imo. from the way he moves to the way the slashes look, he looks really gay. the slash auro or whatever is just over his hand, on his neomax the slash is like a meter away from him and way bigger. something i wouldnt have mind seeing in his specials. his special moves for the most part look stupid imo, his dm and especially his NM look brutal and befitting of yamagi. his specials look more tame than some of his normals, i just dont like them too much.

also i agree with you that his normals should have slashes on them. the effect should be the ones rhey used for his specials, his specials need to be WAY BIGGER.

this is all from a design perspective btw, not how iori plays. you could feel the craziness from iori when you used some of his older moves in kof like smashing your opponents head to the ground and exploding it, or his old maiden masher. in 13 i only get this feeling with his neomax. even though his dm looks good, it also lacks that feeling. dude brutally slashed you, afterwards held your face in his hands, then blew your face up. such rawness, his new dm is somewhat reminescent of that, and his N< fits him perfectly. its just the rest of his specials, dp is meh (nm should have been his dp imo),  ;dn ;db ;bk punch looks totally retarded,  ;dn ;db ;bk kick is also uninspiring for such an awesome character.

the one special they did get right was his command throw, too bad its crap in the game. now i know what you guys were telling me with how bad this move is, the EX version of this should have been his normal one imo. his EX one should have had huge range on it and slammed them higher like it already does.  

also no need to be so formel, what you think is all up to you.

edit: i seriously have too many posts.

I always saw Iori as a Diet-Coke version of Freeman, with all that "i hate violence" thing despite his attitude, also with his appareance and gameplay.
But oh well, that's just me, i couldn't care less about Iori, but if a classic version of him is available, then good for the game :)



PS.- I'm well aware Freeman was created way later than Iori.

Personally I don't like Iori that much. He is kinda boring to me and he pretty much has been same since his debut (can't confirm, but I guess).

I actually kinda liked when he got new design and new fighting style. It was like a breath of fresh air. But he is still kinda lame emo for me.

Well SNKP did some sprite work on Chang, Malin, Momoko and Oswald on their KOFXIII Blog. http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof-xiii/blog/archives/2010/08/post_28.html

That is the only proof of them, which makes them plausible to appear in the game. Yet that might be all they have on them.

Hmm, i thought everyone knew that this guy on DA was making all these XII/XIII inspired sprites: http://enlightendshadow.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24

So there's no need to make a fuss. SNKP is merely showing appreciation.

100% agreed. And yeah, count on it. As soon as Iori with flames appears, slash Iori will fall in the forgetfulness and everybody will start to spam his fireball.

For those who are excited with having classic Iori, don't expect nothing more than the existing Iori, with Kyo's moves fire in purple. So when you see it, don't start to complain...

Yeah that's true... I know so many people that stopped using Iori because he can't cancel his Maiden Masher into Wolf Bloom anymore... There's way more to him than that... I like his new style though... I mean its not like he needed his fire anyway, and once Kyo went rekka, I felt Iori needed something other than a super and jumping ;bk ;b to distinguish himself from Kyo (that's just my thoughts though)...

It also makes me wonder how many people who didn't use Raiden in XII are gonna pick him up in XIII just because of the drop kick alone... I mean I understand K' (he's solid in every iteration of KoF), but I felt Raiden was good in XII, he was just missing some moves like most of the cast. He was good in CvS and CvS2 also, I felt that he was just underrated...

If dropkicks were nerfed, I guess Raiden would be used a little less but I doubt it. His dropkicks aren't the only thing worrying about him. His EX shoulder tackle also deals a lot of damage and he still has his grab. I suppose he will be a third character instead of second, I guess, similar to how Vice is right now.

Regarding the Yagami argument, I dunno. His current fighting style grew into me a lot. I guess his qcb moves (both P and K) are quite lacking in ouch factor, but the grab, oh man especially the grab... The one redeeming factor of qcb+K was that it was drive cancelable into the grab. What's not an ouch factor about bouncing you to the hard floor which was supposed to make a dent on your face? Also, I actually like the slash at the end of Ya Otome better than the exploding flames.

In the end though, this is pretty much just aesthetics.

Are you fucking retarded? Raiden is still going to be on some real shit if the nerf kicks get dropped because his main money maker EX tackles will be around, people are blinded by the DKs and fail to notice how much stupid shit he gets off of those and how good the boys normals and other specials are. Big Van Vader Raiden will definitely still have a presence if DKs get dropped, especially if it's only a drop of their comboability.

Of course Raiden has a ton of other things at his disposal, I know, just play XII he didn't even have the drop kick, and was still deadly imo... But real talk, all most cats see is the drop kick. You can't fault him for stating that though, especially since 90ish% of the cats on this site hasn't played XIII yet to truly know, unless you stay on youtube 24/7 like Cindy Crawford's mole enough to truly understand the intricacies when fighting as (or against) Raiden... That's why I specifically stated the question as such, and dude responded accordingly, no beef in that... Like Steve Fox in Tekken 5.0, all cats saw was his infinite and full life combos. There was a bunch of other things to him that just that, but that's all people saw... Sentinel's still deadly despite the nerf in MvC3, but all people saw was the nerf and dropped him because yet again all they saw was how much health and armor properties he had...

"All they saw" in some cases means "all a character needs to win", so you can't fault anyone for seeing just that and not anything else...

Anyway, I thought dropkicks did more damage than EX shoulder tackle anyway, so I don't see that as his real money maker, especially since most matches I see end up having dropkick punch dropkick in it... Doesn't drop kick take the opponent to the wall quicker than EX shoulder tackle also??? Seems like even if it were to be nerfed, it would still be deadly, and the nerf itself would have to be a hefty one I think... But its all speculation...

It seems the consumer version is going to be FUCKING AWESOME !!

I just came back from two intense hours with the debug X360 version and it k-i-c-k-s a-s-s.

Obviously since it was debug, there are some stages which are not completed yet (some second rounds came with a full green background), all musics are not included yet, there are missing outfit colors for the characters, the roster is not complete (all the characters from the arcade version are there, as well as new ones, but you feel there is room for more), but even with the glimpse that I got, I am confident the final result will be absolute bliss.\o/

No worry about the major concern we had, regarding the big pixels I mentioned earlier, actually my friend had tried the game on a non-Full HD television set, but on a fine TV, it's as beautiful as the arcade version (and maybe even better thanks to the bigger screen).

Please treat the following information cautiously as the final version might turn out very differently but, for now, available from the get go and in addition to the Arcade version characters, you have:

- Billy Kane (well, among all the characters they could have added, I could have seen other choices, such as Saishû Kusanagi or Vanessa, but it's still cool)
- Saiki (but in a version which is neither him barechested and beefy, nor the silhouette. Here he looks a lot like Ash with long hair, but his moveset is verrrrrrry interesting =p)

I saw no Boss because we kept playing VS, but who knows, there might be a good surprise.

I noticed 4 or 5 new stages alongside the ones from the arcade version, some of them clearly not finished yet, but each one looked more gorgeous than the other. Billy's steampunk background is awesome, the one lit only by red torches conveys the same feeling as some oldschool KOF stages, the two stages which were not finished and on a fixed plane should kick ass (a deserted backstreet and ruins in the middle of nature), the one which is located in a sort of airplane is nice, I think I forgot some other new stages but most importantly, the KOF96 stage for Team Japan returns in a 2011 updated version (with the bystanders in the background and all that). Even better, the BGM is Esaka! (that blew my brain out)

Otherwise, the game is as nervous and fast paced as in the arcade version, with very tight controls (unfortunately, Xbox pads are the worst thing ever to try out fighting games, but we had no sticks =/)

Didn't try the Gallery mode and other mission/online/etc bullshit, but among the four people who tried it with me, even those who are not big fighting game fans, everyone agreed: IT. ROCKS.[/spoiler]

You know the big 100% combos with Raiden you see? Most of those are possible because of EX shoulder tackles allow him to get the extra damage off of them leading to whatever finish you want. Yeah Dk, A, DK, NM is about 95% which is still some real shit but he has to blow some big resources for that, with just one Shoulder tackle Raiden gets that big KO. Laban has a big writeup about it in the XIII thread on SRK. And for real I'm getting annoyed with how soft shit is on here, far to many people spewing dumb stuff and not getting slapped down and getting their hands held instead.

Hey man, I get where you are coming from. It can be annoying when people say stupid things. However, just because someone says something that you think is stupid it does not mean that it is stupid, nor does it mean the person who said it is stupid. All you accomplish by tossing around insults is getting people pissed off. The poster you are trying to correct will be so focused on the insults thrown at them that they won't listen to anything you have to say. And what does that accomplish?

I personally love how friendly this site is. There are way too many cowards on the internet that toss around hateful words that they would never have the balls to say to anyone in person. So it's nice to have a place that is more or less free of that.

chazumaru from MMCafe translated french post about Billy, Saiki and Esaka

[spoiler]Oh my god...
Oh my god...
Holy shit...
It seems the consumer version is going to be FUCKING AWESOME !!

I just came back from two intense hours with the debug X360 version and it k-i-c-k-s a-s-s.

Obviously since it was debug, there are some stages which are not completed yet (some second rounds came with a full green background), all musics are not included yet, there are missing outfit colors for the characters, the roster is not complete (all the characters from the arcade version are there, as well as new ones, but you feel there is room for more), but even with the glimpse that I got, I am confident the final result will be absolute bliss.\o/

No worry about the major concern we had, regarding the big pixels I mentioned earlier, actually my friend had tried the game on a non-Full HD television set, but on a fine TV, it's as beautiful as the arcade version (and maybe even better thanks to the bigger screen).

Please treat the following information cautiously as the final version might turn out very differently but, for now, available from the get go and in addition to the Arcade version characters, you have:

- Billy Kane (well, among all the characters they could have added, I could have seen other choices, such as Saishû Kusanagi or Vanessa, but it's still cool)
- Saiki (but in a version which is neither him barechested and beefy, nor the silhouette. Here he looks a lot like Ash with long hair, but his moveset is verrrrrrry interesting =p)

I saw no Boss because we kept playing VS, but who knows, there might be a good surprise.

I noticed 4 or 5 new stages alongside the ones from the arcade version, some of them clearly not finished yet, but each one looked more gorgeous than the other. Billy's steampunk background is awesome, the one lit only by red torches conveys the same feeling as some oldschool KOF stages, the two stages which were not finished and on a fixed plane should kick ass (a deserted backstreet and ruins in the middle of nature), the one which is located in a sort of airplane is nice, I think I forgot some other new stages but most importantly, the KOF96 stage for Team Japan returns in a 2011 updated version (with the bystanders in the background and all that). Even better, the BGM is Esaka! (that blew my brain out)

Otherwise, the game is as nervous and fast paced as in the arcade version, with very tight controls (unfortunately, Xbox pads are the worst thing ever to try out fighting games, but we had no sticks =/)

Didn't try the Gallery mode and other mission/online/etc bullshit, but among the four people who tried it with me, even those who are not big fighting game fans, everyone agreed: IT. ROCKS.[/spoiler]

Now it comes to my mind Saiki's portraits posted by SNKP for XIII's arcade version countdown...

I hope that is true and also I'm very interested on see normal Saiki, what kind of moveset he will show us at
least i hope is different from Ash

For me the arcade version + 1-2 extra characters + modes like time attack, survival challenge would be more than enough for console version but it looks like SNKp prepared a lot of new content for the home port. If they get the netcode right and do good marketing it will be the official ressurection of the series. I like how forums like SRK give so much attention to XIII.

So, if we get all these new ones with console release as well... I wouldn't be too suprised if some of them turned out to be DLC really, but hopefully not.

This is a great way to give a "preview" of the new work, since BGs nowhere near as animated as they will be in console release. But you get to see the wonderful artistry anywho.

PSVita and 3DS versions should almost be guarenteed, now ;) This is so out of nowhere.

More info from MMcafe:

Agh, beaten to the news! Billy usable by default. Already. If SNKP is delivering Billy already, they hopefully have other characters to show off.

Reports coming in:

Billy skills
Sansetsukon Chuudan Uchi (Tri-Cane)[Ex]
Kaen Sansetsukon Chuudan Uchi (Tri-Cane Explosion)
Suzume Otoshi (Upper Cane) [Ex]
Senpuukon (Typhoon Cane)
Kyoushuu Hishou Kon (Flying Cane smasher)
Super: Chou Kaen Senpuu Kon (Final Hurricane Fire Cane) [EX]
Neomax: Dai Guren Senpuu kon

It sounds more or less like 95 Billy.


Additional Stages (not all):
95 Iori
96 Esaka
Rocky area
Kyokugen Dojo


At 900yen which is a bit pricy for an i-app, this is a really wicked way for SNKP to milk some money as a teaser.

i the one and a half years since they finished this game, i hope well get more than an ash headswap and billy, lets hope billy agt least has a whole team, and if were lucky we get another team.

also theres 12 stages now in 13 without the boss stages.

10 teams and 1 single entry.

that means that every team could technically get their own bg, fucking hype. kof didnt have something like this since 95. in 96 everybody had their own bg's, but some wher shared with only some minor differneces (kyo/athena, aof/ff). i hope this doesnt mean the 2 other bg's are for single entries billy and ash or saiki but for a whole billy team. in fatc id be thrilled if theres another complete team besides billy team if he has one. the single entries dont need a stage imo. let them fight in other peoples stages.

http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org1765464.png

edit: if i had to give these stages to teams?

starting with the left 6:

upper left: lizzy or ash stage

upper right: FF stage in the USA

middle left: ?

middle right: kyo stage/japan stage.

lower left: iori

lower right: ?


now for the right side:

upper left: ?

upper right: ?

middle left: ?

middle right: woman team

Welcome to DreamCancel Jeremy, love your first post :)!!!

Thanks, long-time lurker, first-time poster as they say. Really excited for the 360 console launch of KoF13.

Like SAB-CA said on Neo-Gaf, the stages are a different from the Arcade version, being zoomed in and the backgrounds not moving, but I like to think that's simply because of the smaller/less powerful format they're working on. We already seen a couple of these new levels in their full glory, so I'd hedge my bets on them being in the console release as well.

The training thing reminds me of the Combat Mission segments from SNK's various Metal Slug home ports. You could probably make a really cool one with the systems at play in King of Fighters XIII. Nakoruru intrigues me, since she's only been a striker at best, not including that Game Boy port. Different style of artwork too, she looks much older than the usual pictures of her.

Some info from SpekSNK by Wesker:

Quote from: Wesker
- The game has the same intro as the arcade. With great quality!
- The Menu has a new music track.
- Before playing, you are taken to a tutorial to learn how to play the game.
- Nakoruru appears in the tutorial and it's a fight between Kyo and Ash.
- The music seems to be the same as the one from the Arcade. The animation is really fluid, looks great on the iPhone.
- The stages are not animated, but they have zoom.
- The tutorial teaches you Kyo NeoMAX so the assumption is that all the characters have their NeoMAX.
- The mecanics of the game as similar to XIII, but with the obvious simplification in the control scheme. Combos seem easy to pull.
- After the tutorial, the game send you to the Main Menu and it has the following options: Arcade, Bluetooth Mode, Gallery, Record, Shop and Game Center.
- Facebook and Twitter are integrated into the game.
- 3 colors per character.
- The game shows you the challenges while fighting, just like the Arcade.
- After the fight is done, you can save the replay!
- After every fight you earn points.
- The final boss is ASH.
- Billy and Joe have a funny conversation in which Billy gets mad that Joe is stalking his sister or something on those lines.
- Billy vs Billy conversation is about "Geese can only have 1 right hand man!"
- The game doesn't have endings, it just says "Congratulations!" and gives you illustrations for the Gallery.
- Yuri and King have their clothe ripping off as the Arcade ver.
- Esaka 96 stage is completely redone.
- You can unlock challenges, or you can unlock challenges/archievements while you play.
- Billy standing pose is kinda static, but well done. His voice is the same one we know.
- When you fight Billy, his FF music plays.
- In Gallery mode, all the stories of the teams are translated to english.

This is a lot of great info!

But what surprises me is the Twitter and Facebook integration, which is really innovative for a fighter. Heck, saving replays on the Iphone is impressive too.

This game is not a only a iphone game. Is a tease of XIII's console version. Of course, not to be played seriously but to get hype and give visibility to new KOF. I hope nobody take wrong my words, but I think this kind of things help more to grow up KOF presence in the world than arcade scene or tournaments. Of course both things are targetting different audiences, both necessary, but what I mean is that iphone is more mainstream. I'm impressed SNKP has done this step. It was totally unexpected for me, even I had some information about...

His voicing continues to annoy though.

Anyone know if those Southtown guys are any good at the game?

Yes. Most of them were still learning the game at mid-level, a few were above avarage and one was a damn monster.

Ohhh! Good to know now, but for some reason I'm not surprised either. lol

Android has more potential than iOS and is good to see that is doing so good in Japan. Last time I checked about that was on Jan and iOS was still doing really good, so that is where I based my statement. But glad to be proven wrong. lol

besides his stance, billy seems animated really well, especially for a ipod version.

something i forgot to mention, theres 3 stages missing from the iphone versionç brazil, hong kong & japan stages (the stages with the most animations in them basically). that means well have 15 normal stages in the game along with the boss stage thats with the big ass doors (making it 16). i wont count that all white stage as that isnt a real stage. with all these stages we could have 2 more complete teams and have ash and saiki havd their own levels and wed still have a level left (which could be used for one of the boss battles thats not in front of thos fma doors).

Considering we have playable Billy now, without awaiting the console release, I wonder how they'll reveal console Billy? I'd love to see them drop a proper character trailer + A Technical Reference at the same time, fitting him right into the setups they made during arcade release.

Is it me, or does he seem even more range-friendly than ever before? His up-staff attack is much faster, full screen Stab-and-explode is very well ranged, and his crouching sweep seems to have much better recover than before.

His neomax also looks very easy to land after a counterhit CD, though the damage he did with it to K' in the corner, suggest it's either best mid-screen, or when activated In-Your-Face.

His stance might have looked sitff, but it's a good transition point for moves. I like the fact that his staff ACTUALLY COMES BACK DOWN after he tosses it up in his winpose, unlike a certain Boagard boy's hat...

Looking forward to seeing the rest of his normals and the EX versions of his moves!

Also, it's kinda funny... this release is KINDA like a "Paid Demo", lol. I'd easily buy it, if I had an Iphone :(

Hope this is all a good preview of the console release features, as well. Hope it's gallery is even better collected, with even more content!

 ;up Such an awesome Win portrait!

On to the moves discussion...

Good point, cr. ;a had his body lead forward more in the past. I guess the downward quick staff poke he has, that hits at the ankles, will be his crouching ;b? Or does he just have close and far range weak normals?

I noticed in the other 2 vids that KusoCamera posted, that he has a close-up triple staff-stab. New command normal? Kinda weird to have a three-hit poke in KoF, similiar to Whip's  ;fd + ;a command move. That should help make his gameplay a bit unique, along with him being one of few who actually jumps off screen to attack.

Good to see he has his old "balance you on the tip of the staff, choke, then slam" throw, too. They could have easily just made it some boring toss, or a slam without the choke, or something.

I don't like small talk but I thought I was better of pointing this out rather than leaving it to be.

In that vid you can check some differences compared to the "current build" of "KoF XIII". For one, they added the sample "Rock you" before Terry's Buster Wolf; I'm pretty sure that his two voice clips for that move don't say anything but "Buster Wolf" in the arcade version. Secondly and actually important, Goro canceled his Ukemi move with special moves, and the last time I checked I'm pretty sure that he can't do that in the arcade version (I'm not 100% sure, I haven't touched Goro as much as I would like), that's a great add for the character.

I wonder if there are more character changes in there and if they are going to reflect on the actual console build, the answer to those two questions is probably "yes".

So we have new voice clips and maybe some changes in the characters? This is indeed stuff that I wanted to hear.

That three hit staff attack looked like Dragon Rage.

Suprisingly, it turns out that's his new Close ;c !
Some notes on Billy from SonicTempest on Orochinagi:

Quote
Random crap I got from messing around in practice mode with Billy in KOF-i:
- His close C is a new animation - it's a three-hit attack where he pokes you with the butt of his stick three times. All three hits are cancellable.
- close D is a high kick and is cancellable
- f+A cancels from close C, doesn't cancel into anything, doesn't look like you can cancel into HD mode from it or f+B
- f+B doesn't travel forward after Billy kicks
- down B has a different animation from 2K2 but it can be rapid-fired and is cancellable into dp+K
- dp+K has enough lag after it that you can't do jump C as a followup like you can in 2K2. Following up with QCB+P works though, as does HCF+P (followup whiffs though). Following up with DM/Neomax in the corner also works.
- dp+BD (EX version) has much less lag - you can do a jump C or even another dp+K afterwards in the corner
- HCF+AC does 3 hits. Doesn't seem to have a followup?
- Random note, but I can't seem to cancel to HD mode from any of his pokes. Maybe they forgot to put that in, lol.

Random combo crap:
stand C, f+A
stand C, dp+K, QCB+P
(corner) dBx3, dp+K, QCF,HCB+P

Loving the game. Is a great job, has a lot of features and I'm trying to do some arcade version combos. Really funny way to waste your time lol. Jokes aside, I really like the game. I would only criticize that sprites look good when zoom is out, but in zoom-in they look ugly. I guess this is due to iphone limitations, and maybe in iPad looks great, but it's a shame because the most part of a match is in zoom-in...

with all this re-birth thing, snk should have remade esaka 94 instead of the 96 stage.

that stage, the music, the character kyo. That was probably the turning point back then for snk. How all their ideas and innovation fitted into place, in one package and how it started to moved away from the SF shadow and began to pavement its own way.

I really like that stage,lol

kof 94 was ass though (as was 96 tbh), but the 96 esaka > 94 by a lot imo.

funny thing about kof is that 95 was actually a really good game, then came 96 and it was pure shit. than comes 97 which in its time was the best fighter ever released till 98 came out. i think all these things had to do with snk not having enough time to actually make the games finishes. 94 probably should have been 95. and 96 should have been 97, same way 97 should have been 98. time restraints ftw. lol.

I can't believe that noone commented at the fact that magaki and mukai are gonna be in the game. All the chibis have their names at the top and their team name. On Saiki, Magaki and Mukai's it says BOSS. Are they gonna make it to XIII console version as well? or they are gonna use the sprites they had in XI for the iphone version ?

Most likely is because they were bosses from the Ash Saga. That might be why they are in the gallery of the game.

Time for my first post.

I gotta say all this kof content on the iphone is really making me consider switching from android to apple. I'm really excited to see where Atlus takes the franchise in the market. I'm hoping it can make it into the spotlight at least for a bit. I know a lot of attention is being divide up between SxT, soul calibur V, and tekken tag 2 but it's games like this that make me proud to be a fighting game fan. Capcom's latest offerings have been good but they seem to be missing the part that matters and that's solid mechanics and a usable roster.

Rant aside, I don't think we'll see Atlus make too big of moves on this game until Catherine is released. They are an awesome company but they are going to put their own game first. I'm hoping we'll get some announcements from comic-con.

It's a shame that this wasn't made for a proper gaming handheld, but given how easy it is to publish a game on the iOS or Android platform, you really can't blame them.  Hopefully it will find its way to a Sony or Nintendo handheld in the future.

Yeah, sadly piracy is on every platform now. Microsoft seems to do a good/sneaky ban job on most pirates though. I've been tempted to pirate before but for games like this they NEED our money, on every platform they can put it out on. I know SNKP makes a lot off of Pachinko but if we want them to continue their awesome legacy of solid fighters people should be buying this game. Games like Black Ops or Gears 3 probably aren't even going to notice. It's like take a gold bar from Scrooge McDuck.

I don't see the problem of the iPhone game. The game has almost half of the cast from the arcade, exclusive preview of Billy Kane, the animations are identical, half of the stages are new, lots of extras, etc. For 8 bux? I don't see what is the big problem IMO.

Oh that part of buying a iPhone just for the game? Well yeah, I can't say that is the smartest choice. But if the person was going to buy a iPhone eventually and this just gave him the push to buy it earlier, well that is up to him. But I now see your point, but still a bit aggressive the way you expressed yourself.

Iphones are for douches.  WinMobile is for business users, doctors or lawyers, and Androids are for bros who yearn for FREEDOM from oppression.  Android is the most logical choice because it goes against the grain.

I do have to wonder how Atlus' arrangement with all this stuff is, however.

We've seen a lot of stuff from SNKP that pertains to XIII, that has had no reciprocal action from the western publisher. I'd imagine they'd even wanna add a link to the iPhone game on the UA XIII website possibly, since it is like a element of promotion.

Even during Ignition's publishing of XII, I wondered about how coordinated SNKP was with it's overseas partners. Watching Ignition make their own trailers, while SNKP made their own... It felt a bit more disjointed than one would like, however, I did like the fact that they both appealed to their own markets with unique ideas.

So, hopefully, it should turn out to be very interesting this time! Glad to see SNKP acting pretty serious, and glad to know they have a company with a fan-focused outlook like Atlus on their side. Makes one expect some pretty nice things...

I don't really think anyone should be worried about ATLUS keeping up their end of the deal at this point. They have always been good about bringing us the goods and I don't see a reason why they would stop now. Also, you have to remember that they mostly bring over niche titles that don't appeal to a wide audience. They got to do things just right or they'll end up spending more money than they can make. Working Designs (man do I miss them) went balls out on nearly everything they localized to the point of absolute overkill, and it put them out of business.

Besides, they got a big release, Catherine, coming right around the corner. I'm sure their focus will shift heavily to KOF XIII after Catherine comes out. I know the wait is hard, but we have to stay strong my friends!

Thanks for watching (and enjoying :D?) the stream guys. We're all really burned about all the mistakes we made but it seemed like everyone was dedicated to improving. As it is there's somewhat of a disconnect between all the players in this town and today was really the first time in a while we'd all been in the same room together, there was talk of actually devoting serious time to the game which I'm crazy jazzed about.

Props to Giovanni for taking the tournament, then blowin up the liquor store with his winnings, that guy's awesome.

Also, while a lot of these guys were first time players, I think their interests were only spurred further. Time constraints being the way they are hopefully it won't take until October before people can start spending some real time with this game.

After watching some AE after XIII, the XIII commentary felt like a breath of fresh air. Shoutouts to the mute function.

Like Kblacknoah mentioned, I rather have someone give a some informative commentary about the game since over thousand people were watching the stream and this being it's 1st ranbat. Other than that, good shit, Southtown Arcade.

i didn t said that...i like the contrary =)) insult the players when they make mistakes or something =)) curse, tell good jokes ... just don t fake hype like most of the commentators out there.In between say something about the match or about the game strategies (but not mandatory) ...etc lmao
I want the commentating to be entertaining that s all - that s why i liked Rockafeller because he ballanced all this stuff and you have some informative and crazy entertaining commentary

If it'something like colors or certain alternate customs in KOF XIII, i might have a problem... But then again, I do have  other fighters and most of their contents. Also, i've been a long time addict of Keoi warriors games like Dynasty/ Samurai Warriors and Sengoku Basara.

Its a dick move when there aren't good attention behind it. For MASS EFFECT 2 theres a one time code for the ceribus network ( which is a unlock to allow you to download free dlc for the game that could not be completed) when you buy it new, because EA wants to combat 2nd hand sale you'll have have to fork of 15 bucks for it on xbl for the unlock key, on the other hand SSF IV had the costumes in the game already, yet to have them aviable you had to fuck over cash for it, Its annyoing because Capcom clearly has no sense of logic, its not like your punishing people for buying it used, AE is the same its already on the arcade version. I know many who cant take snkp serious for for many reason, this is just stupid. EA and Capcom are the biggest with these offenses.

I swear SNKP better not stoop to this level, there is no way I am supporting you with DLC's like colors unless it looks like you put alot of work into, because a simple color edit mode can to the same thing.
sorry for the rant, I was on capcom unity

I enjoyed the stream. The level of play may not have been the highest but the enthusiasm was off the charts. I felt that the announcers had some idea of KOF and found them entertaining enough. Maybe Kane317 and THE ANSWER should go up there and help out...

I really filled out my ignore list thanks to some rather ignorant people in the stream chat. Some dude actually said KOFXIII looked like an SNES game. So sad.

I really hope the next ranbat uses the standard 60 second rounds. 99 seconds makes too big a difference in the game.

The amount of time left had an effect on health recovered in XII. I'm still not sure if it matters in XIII. If it does, that's a good reason to stick to 60 second rounds. That plus 99 seconds for Dropkick Raiden is insane, lol.

As far as commentary... it wasn't too bad. I was happy to hear some KoF knowledge proper being stated. I could easily do without the excess cursing or goofiness/joke that people try to add to commentary; it always seems to fall very flat, and really just ends up distracting from the game, but this particular commentary didn't fall into those vices too often. Sporting even-style hype + genuine well-informed info seem to be the 2 most useful elements of solid commentary. Kane and ANSWER pulled it off pretty well at ReveLAtions, I'd say.

On to other things, first, thanks for more artworks, Amedo ^_^

On DLC stuff, lets just say that I hope SNKP keeps everything in the arcade in the game, and DLC is really additional stuff to the game. Putting elements of DLC on a disk isn't a bad thing, but having it ALL there is pretty shady.

I wouldn't mind paying a SMALL price for colors, but I think it'd be better for them to use them as either free promo DLC (like MK is using costumes to buff up "compatability pack"downloads), or as a way of padding paid DLC (like including colors for teams with characters or stages). Wouldn't mind paying a small price for 2nd Palettes like "Big Bear" and "Mr. Karate" stuff, since they've got some solid elements of redrawing spritework in them. Would prefer them to come in expensive packs, though.

I'm not sure which questions they cannot answer yet. They may hold off on answering all of the questions because not answering would admit there's something to the question.
Would it be possible to ask them to just answer one question per week, or something like that?  That way there's not so much push to get them to reveal things they're holding back on prematurely, but they'll still have a chance to actually give some answers to stuff that they're willing to respond to without revealing which questions they're dodging.

For DLC stuff, if it's additions that don't affect gameplay (like extra colors, having Iori's VA for the announcer, menu background wallpapers, or whatever along those lines), I'll only buy it if it comes in a cheap pack, like AH3 giving all DLC colors in a single purchase for about $5.  If it's like the extras in BB, forget it.

I'll buy tourney-legal extra characters because that's kind of a core part of the game, though I'll be annoyed with it since extra characters in a fighting game are basically a forced purchase.  If it's just bosses or the like that would be banned, though, I wouldn't bother.

Any DLC of stuff that's unlockable, I'd ignore.  Earning things is fun *laughs*

Is there an archive of this stream somewhere for people who missed it? Edit: Just checked the stream site...obvious *laughs*

If thats a real change in meter used by neomaxes then SNK may be trying to increase/encourage their use, they are barely used as it stands. I wouldn't mind b/c they pretty much went to waste in the arcade version.

I dunno... if NEOMAX took 2 bars when MAX cancelled into, 3 on their own, that'd be a nice, passive way to tighten the tiers up just a bit. It'd be a nice way to allow a wider range of characters to do massive damage at mid-screen. It'd take 3 total meters now rather than 4, and would still require being in HD mode... but it'd now cost the same as EX move -> (random moves) EX DM, which many players are already comfortable with (see Shen)...

Its going to most likely worry me if they kept raidens drop kick damage as it is in the arcade version. Making easier for raiden users to win Drop kick + drop kick again + neo max = much damage just hope its nerfed it isnt going to be in 1v1 only or something about thos e 2 bars to do NEOMAX

I think SNKP just made KOFXIII closer to 02UM, in 02UM you can do a HDSM outside of MAX mode and it will take 3 bars. But if you activate MAX Mode you can do the same HDSM and it will only take 2 bars. Making NeoMAX's more frequent and a good way to end a HD Mode Combo in a fancier way.

Another note, maybe this change will be exactly like 02UM in which you do the HDSM outside off MAX Mode the damage will be higher, but if you do it while in MAX Mode, the damage of the HDSM will be tone down. That is what I think SNKP is doing with this changes and that didn't really made 02UM broken.

There is a big difference that worries me a bit

I could see this working only if this works:

3 stock without HD mode
2 with HD mode
3 with hd mode when you pull it after a max cancel

Otherwise if you can pull a neomax with only 2 stock and you can also max cancel them I think that will be a bad idea

I think what was going on in this was if you activate MAX it already took one bar so the super you do was free totaling 1 bar, 1 super. So if you tried to do an HDSM you already used on bar to activate so they just took two more totaling 3. I don't know how they could do something similar with 13 though since it has that extra drive bar and not just super.

If it's 2 bars for a Max Cancel Neomax, that's either a 3 or 4 bar commitment, depending on if you did a normal or EX DM, to get to the MAX Cancel status.

It'd be a nice buff, but it wouldn't be that much of a difference. Take for instance, Raiden. How many EX Shoulders does he normally use in his KILL combos? Or how about Leona with EX Moon Slashers?

I guess the scariest things here, would be the fact that you could now squeeze another EX move into a combo, before MAX cancel -> Neomax.  That could lead to some even crazier juggles, and lead to a wider range of the cast having high damage combos.

If a max cancel ending off am HD mode string of normals cost the same as a naked Neomax, and they end up doing not-too-much different damage, due to the early hits scaling the MAX stuff down, I think the change would just make fights more interesting, in the end. The strong wouldn't get THAT much stronger, and the weaker would get to use their full toolsets more actively, which would help cover some of their shortcomings.

Well since you are in HD Mode, you can still do a EXDM and the rest of the HD Bar will be drain if you do a 2 bar NeoMAX. But if they do it like 02UM, the NeoMAX damage while in HD Mode will be modified and will do less damage. But still the sum of an EXDM+NeoMAX would be good enough, yet you will need 4 bars in total.

If it's 2 bars for a Max Cancel Neomax, that's either a 3 or 4 bar commitment, depending on if you did a normal or EX DM, to get to the MAX Cancel status.

I remember the early confusion on if neomax's were MAX mode exclusive or not. I liked the idea of HD mode signifying the fact they COULD be used, but it wouldn't make great sense for people with counter NM's like Lizzy and Goro. So I'm glad at the way it turned out, and would appreciate a MAX cancel -> NM buff.

Naa, we're talking about Terry at the video's end. He MAX cancels from Buster Wolf to Trinity Geyser, and the 2 DMs together take a combination of 3 meters. Would be a very interesting change...

SNKP answered that question in Orochinagi's interview. They said soon will make an announcement regarding Europe release.

About NeoMAX costing 2 stocks.. Well, is what you said. If NeoMAX only costs 2 stocks when you MAXCancel, then it's ok if NeoMAX damage is properly scaled, but keep in mind that maximum amount of stocks is still 5, so now you can add one more DM or EX move to a 5 stocks combo finished with MAXCancel, that means combos can be more powerful now. For some characters will be positive, but for some others will be excesive. I must confess I'm affraid of this change. the game was designed taking MAXCancel as the ultimate weapon, which is powerful but needs 5 stocks and HD mode. If you change this properties then you have to change some other property (like damage, HD mode time, max of power stocks amount..). Is like it needs some special rule, or the game comes more cheap in terms of damage/combos. I guess this is have been made for casual players (arcade players are a different profile of players) and it's what affraids me of.

a nice change would be EX moves costing half meter and while in HD mode still costing 1 meter

This would be terrible without adjusting a bunch of EX moves. Off the top of my head I'd just throw out Raiden's EX tackle, Kula's EX ray spin, most of the EX counters. I'm sure there's many many other's that would have to be played with a bit.

Raiden is broken from every view you take it so I don't see where the problem is. By giving half meter to ex moves it will just buff lower tiers. Raiden is broken with or without it.

@shiranui I believe that the reason for 2 stocks on Neomax while in HD is that there were characters (especially the low tiers) that they couldn't do 100% combo with 5 stocks + HD. So i see this change as a buff to the lower tiers. Plus it will encourage ppl to do HD combos instead of dishing out a neomax.

I doubt that changing the amount of stocks was an attempt to gather to casual players, I believe than story mode and all that other stuff will do that

Still, we saw the ex dm on air from kim, I believe than some balancing is on the way, and unless SNKP were incredible retarded, I believe that those high tier characters will be nerfed

Yes it doesn't cause once he gets u in his hands u are dead anyway. Do u see a big difference between double drop kick followed by ex tackle and ex aerial grap costing one instead of two meters? One meter is nothing to farm...

Post by: SAB-CA on July 12, 2011, 12:35:52 PM
... Yeah, cutting EX move bar usage to 50% would be MUCH more drastic than the discussed neomax changes.

First of all, that would make combos that build solid meter, even more deadly, and startable under much easier circumstances. Some characters (such as Takuma) coulod basically start way more powerful combos extremly early.

Also, the amount of Stun combos would raise considerably, since the purpose of EX moves in combos is generally to gain more float / combo time.

Unlike the EX moves in SFIV, the EX's in XIII are basically DMs. They often have increased invincibility, do nearly as much damage alone as DMs, and often set up for even more damage atop of that. As they are now, they're basically "Tactical DMs", that allow almost the same, if not greater, damage, as long as you're willing to work for it.

*Had already typed this message before Demoninja's request to end it, lol.*

I'm also inclined to wait for any official word on gameplay changes before jumping to conclusions.  Stuff like 2-stock max cancels or Kim's EX air DM might just be things that SNK was/is testing out with the build that they gave to Atlus.  I'm pretty sure some of the early promotional videos for a lot of fighting games show things that aren't there in the final builds.  XIII is a bit of a special case since the game has been in arcades for a while now, but if SNK is going to make gameplay tweaks (which seems to be the case), I wouldn't take anything they show to heart unless it's officially confirmed.

"Atlus narrows down the fall North American release for the console version of The King of Fighters XIII today, promising console-exclusive characters, stages, and game modes galore. Until then, expect screenshots and trailers galore, much like these. See if you can spot some of the console-exclusive content in the trailer of the thirteenth King of Fighters title, and keep an eye out for the new NEO MAX desperation moves, eating up the power gauge three bars at a time. That's why they call it desperation, folks.

Look for The King of Fighters XIII on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this October."


Well, looks like another source is saying "characters", plural,  so billy isn't the only one then. Also more stages, so looks like HD ports of the ones we saw for KOF-I are comming too. The article also mentions NEOMAX moves taking 3 bars. I could really only see them costing 2 bars in 1v1 honestly. It makes the most sense, you only have one character without a team backing you up shit is going to be intense.

Perhaps there is a health element to it, a la MAX2 moves in 2002? Some ideas:

1. NeoMaxes can only be done when character is at 1/5th health, but they cost two bars.

2. NeoMaxes can be done normally for 3 bars, but for less when at low health.

I think I'd be okay with this. The air EX DMs are great news, but I honestly don't think Kim needs it specifically. Mai and Athena would definitely, definitely benefit from it though.

I remember the early confusion on if neomax's were MAX mode exclusive or not. I liked the idea of HD mode signifying the fact they COULD be used, but it wouldn't make great sense for people with counter NM's like Lizzy and Goro. So I'm glad at the way it turned out, and would appreciate a MAX cancel -> NM buff.

if you are all talking about kula, may i remind you that she has an EXDM that looks like her NM?  ;)

Naa, we're talking about Terry at the video's end. He MAX cancels from Buster Wolf to Trinity Geyser, and the 2 DMs together take a combination of 3 meters. Would be a very interesting change...

could it be because terry's NM is friggin underwhelming?

Synopsis of the Famitsu KoFi interview by the Prof of MMC:

Quote
Quick synopsis-

- The producer is Kei Yamamoto, same guy working on console ports.
- Balancing was hard for the platform. Throws and GeeseCounters were too strong, vs CPU was too easy with simplified commands but too hard with manual commands.
- Some arcade version staff were involved but the developmed team consisted of separate staff. Everything about the development was hard since it was a new platform. There were a lot of attacks that needed rebalancing because of that.
- Billy was included because they thought his presence would bring a big impact and he's popular amongst players.
- Wifi battle is something they can look into, but nothing under the hood right now.
- A version update is slated for October. Also, additional stuff are under development and they want to add things in to the shop and whereever else that seems good.
- If many people pick up KOFi and it gets good feedback, they might consider porting other titles as well. But first thing first is the update.

And here's three points that were interesting enough for a full translation.

Q: Personally, I feel unfortunate that Iori, who's usually in the series, isn't in this game. Are there plans to add him in?
A: "There may be people who are wondering why Iori isn't in the game while Kyo is. We can't reveal any plans yet, but please wait and see what characters will be coming out."

Q: We hear that there's going to be 6 additional characters by October. Can you tell us just a little bit on who'll be added in?
A: "Please look forward. They'll be solid, and worth the wait."

Q: Can you tell us secretly if there will be any new smartphone-exclusive characters?
A: "Sorry, it's a secret.!"

KOF-i is now on GameFAQs. In the game's description, it says this:

"6 additional characters will be available to download for free by October, 2011 for a total of 20 characters!"

Makes me wonder if these characters are KOF XIII characters that didn't make it in this game, or if
they are gonna be brand new characters. If so, will we be seeing them in KOF XIII console edition?

I most likely will, yes. Why do you ask, nilcam? I actually had a lot of fun just talking to people about the game and seeing people actively interested in person. It's vastly different from when I played at AI/AA. Seeing as how the SoCal guys have been a group (for the most part) dedicated to KOF, NorCal has a lot of new blood coming over from SF/MvC/BB, which is really encouraging to see. I'll try to jump on the mic and commentate on the next stream. As Demoninja stated in the NorCal thread, Haunts has given the green light for streaming all summer ranbats for XIII at Southtown through IPW. It's not much, but I really hope the exposure helps to draw interest up until the console release. I missed the stream chat, but I heard from Kane that, minus stream monsters, the game was pretty well recieved by viewers.

Just wanted to say something regarding all these opinions on MK.

If we want people to respect KOF for what it is, we need to respect other fighting games for what they are. MK might not be the cup of tea for a lot of people, but in no way it's a bad game. Same goes for KOF, so as I said, we can give our opinions but not insult other gamers preference. Because who knows, maybe the next big KOF player might have MK backgrounds or viceversa.

Well since I got out of my system, we can continue talking about KOFXIII.

Holy hell, my respect for some of you here has dropped really far, really fast. Opinions are fine and all, and I certainly don't expect everyone to like the same things, but some of you guys are talking like people should feel bad if they like MK. What the hell kind of shit is that? If you wanna hate a game then go ahead and hate it, but don't go and make assumptions about people cause they like something you don't. KOF is my favorite 2D fighting game series, and VF is my favorite 3D fighting series, but I happen to like many other games including MK. Those just happen to be the games I like and I'm not a better or worse person for it.

Sorry for being off topic, but it's shit like this that I thought I was getting away from when I came here.

EVO seems more like a convention than a tournament for fighting games which is good thing.

And the MK talk, it has a great story which is popular with the casuals.

And the hate on certain games, it's everywhere, online and offline. I know first hand and I dealt with it at my local scene but that never stops me from playing my game or surpporting the store that holds the scene.

Oh shit!!!!! I'm going to the Otakon convention now!!!! $75 to play this baby. LOL

But is true, we need to respect other fighting games and guys who like them, I know that lots of kof fans became salty when they said that the game is the same old shit from 94/is only played by mexicans/doesn't need skill/whatever other shit that some guys just like to throw

Everyone can have their own opinion; that's ok.  MK9 personally isn't my cup of tea either, but it's the way that you're communicating it that reflects badly on the community.  You thinking that the way you posted about MK9 doesn't reflect badly on the community is naive.  

Wake up and smell the coffee Musolini, KOF isn't going to win a popularity contest in the Western hemisphere anytime soon.  You taking a crap on, for a better lack of term, on one of American's beloved FG isn't going to help us where we want to go either.  Like mentioned before, the same reason we get defensive when haters diss XIII all the time because there's no mutual respect--it's no mystery why the FG community is so fragmented.

We're not forcing you to like MK9, heck nobody could convince me the same either--but still be respectful.

yeah it was more an answer to the old crappy neo games and melty blood being shit. i dont know mb but from what ive seen from it its probably still better than mk. and my reason for dissing nmk was because thopse shitty snk games still shit on even mk9 withoput disrespecting it. games as old as ffs and ss2 both are still better games than even mk9, thats not even talking about laters titles. as bad as some of those snk fighters where,mk9 still isnt better or as good.

So you are from Finland are you? Well I would like to express my gratitude to your country for blessing this world with fine metal bands such as Children of Bodom and Amorphis.

I can't hook you up with plane tickets, but I can post my own experience at Evo as it happens. I know it's not much but it's all I can do.

I will be testing the console version a few days before EVO and if it's not arcade perfect we will not use it. If the console version is arcade perfect we might consider using it.

I think if the balance isn't arcade perfect it should be more reason to use it at the tournament. It will help level the playing field for those of us who are new to the game. Although, I do admit I would probably take the opposite point of view if I was already really experienced at the arcade version. But as it stands I have only played this game once, and I'll take any handicap I can get.

Besides, if they by some miracle have Blue Mary in the console version they bring there, and you don't let me use her, I might cry. Do you wanna see a grown man cry?

for 360 e don t know but for ps3 is around 60$ (50-55 Euro - on launch day if it's a good game) or less depending on the title.They won't sell shit with that price because a lot of adventure or fps are launching october - november and the casual gamer doesn't pay 60+ dollars for a fighter (the most sales they will get from casual gamers (and most likely they never heard of kof or they don t care too much about it) and not fighting game fans ... and with the reputation of XII i doubt people will buy this first day at that price).These people are mad stupid if they are going with that price for europe.
40 - 45 E max is the right price if they really want to actually sell anything.Prices for mvc 3 and mk9 went down pretty much (new here you can get them for about 30-35 E max new and used even less) or ssf4 for 25e or less ... so the casual gamer looking for a fighter will most likely buy those than this.

I wanted to preorder from amazon.com but for some strange reason they don't ship this shit to europe...

Samurai Spirits Sen was once known as Edge of Destiny in America, and if I recall correctly, Rising Star Games also releases games in England and the United Kingdom.

Oh, and on a side note of KOF XIII, I got my copy preordered from GameStop. And about Otakon, what I should suggest is an Online Q&A session for us to ask Atlus staff our questions related to the game.

Are you fucking serious? How much did you pay for that game?

I mean, you could've kept that money for a KOF XIII preorder, and not waste it on an obsolete, yet incomplete game.

You guys really need to stop bashing within the community. Dream Cancel is starting to look like 4chan. Looking from the outside in, I don't see how anyone would feel comfortable entering the community knowing the etiquette (or lack thereof) you guys are displaying. More and more I'm realizing that a lot of posts in the past few days/weeks have been rather nonconstructive or uninformative.

Sibarraz's post was more focused on the status of XII stages and whether or not they'd be in XIII. Focus on that rather than make this a another "Let's Hate on XII" thread.

I guess you're right. I think I would stay on topic rather than bash people for making decisions..

And Sibarraz, I agree, what would XIII be like without XII's original versions of the stages?

I still prefer the overall quality of XIII stages, but if SNKP decides to include the stages of XII, then that's more than welcome.

And yes, let's not start again the hate/love for KOF XII :\

This is just a fair warning and maybe people new to kof coming to this wonderful site will take notice before they buy a kof game.If someone new to kof starts with XII there are high chances to think that this community is either trolling them or that we are morons.Just my humble opinion
Do you think i enjoy bashing that "game"?I do it for the peoples and for the community
I call it Healthy Trolling, Constructive trolling or Don't waste your time and money trolling
BUT ... if you like pretty colours you need to have this game!

at this point from a game that is hard to find and that only hardcore fans will try fto but again with XII, is really stupid to bash someone for buy a game, and more a case that somebody will play it first, less a newcomer, hell pretty much everybody who reads here has already started with some other KOF or will play it from some emulator buy XIII

I changed the game for continuum shift because I cant find the game anywhere, and I still like some aspects of it, in perspective, a new copy of cs will cost me like 15000 chilean pesos, maybe those are 30 dollars

And yes, people are really acting retarded here, when I don't like a game, I don't post in every place who you are an idiot for playing or buying the game, every one with their money I guess

People need to grow up and understand that there is not a parameter for good fighting games, I payed full price for samsho sen knowing that the game sucked but I wanted it because it was still an SNKP which I like to collect.

You must be really stupid if you believe that you will warn a newcomer from a game that in every kof XIII thread about how sucked/the netcode is bad/etc, my post will not make a damn difference, more from a game that was released like 2 or 3 years ago and that at least in my case, couldn't find anywhere.

Stop with this chauvinist attitude of elite gamers, that nerdy attitude will kill more the scene instead of some random guy buying a random game

About Mai's figurine what really bothers me is her Yuri face and that she's pulling her thong like a porn star. And where is her fan? doesn't she fight with a fan? SNKP needs to understand that comunity will apreciate more Mai if she is a competitive fighter too, not only fanservice.
Mai's always been like this and she's still popular as fuck. And the community caring about Mai being well Mai and not being popular? Da hell. Girls always been hella free with it.

I can't see how a character could be more appreciated according to their rank on the tiers, terry is not that good in XIII, but he still is highly appreciated, mai imo is very appreciated, she won that from a long time ago, for being the original babe of SNK, plus lots of games where she is a really good character (KOF and specially fatal fury)

I would say first. As mentioned, Kensou is relatively good gaining meter, and Robert and Kyo make extensive use of drive meter for cancels/HD mode and DMs. Kensou has a decent zoning game so he can get by. Robert and Kyo can have their places interchanged since they both are meter heavy.

She can build meter but not as good as she can burn it. She can be an alright front character though as long as you conserve meter/drive for your Mid/Anchor characters unless you really need to use some to KO your opponent on the spot (like a DC or SC opportunity). For better measure pick a character who can build meter really fast in your second spot. Robert/Ryo/Ash/Andy/Betty/Athena/Ralf are good seconds, but you're gonna want to back them with good anchors who spend meter well, however if you have K'/Raiden as Anchors then you can disregard the former lol.

Rules.
Please do not discuss any pirating of software on this board. Disc-Swapping software is fine for playing imports.
Treat other posters with respect. Demeaning remarks, including racism and homophobia, will not be tolerated.
Keep topics in relevant sections. If you feel that a new section is warranted, suggest it to me via PM.
Only one I could have possibly broken was "Keep topics in relevant sections." I did however also make sure the post was pretty on-topic by asking about Yuri's usage. Just because you don't like me doesn't mean that I've broken a rule. If you have a problem with me, go away. Easy as that.

She can be an alright front character though as long as you conserve meter/drive for your Mid/Anchor characters unless you really to use some to KO your opponent on the spot (like a DC or SC opportunity).
Great. Pretty sure if you have a chance to KO your opponent, it's always best to go for it.

From the playthroughs that I've been doing through, the characters I'll probaby commit to first are Hwa Jai, Maxima, and Ash. I can't do any fancy HD combos but I can do simple enough links into supers with all 3 and can deal some major damage already with Maxima. I really hope someone at EVO asks what do they have planned as far as training/challenges. Whether it'd be simple with set challenges like their previous effort or do some character specific stuff like Blazblue.

No. Our questions are being held up because some of the questions we asked hit on things SNKP and Atlus are not yet ready to talk about. I've asked to have the answered questions released but am waiting to hear back about that.

How long will take the panel conversation?

There is info on how many booths with the game will atlus provide?

I can recall if Ignition went to EVO, but for now atlus is doing one hell of a job with the promotion of the game, at least 100xtimes better than ignition

Btw, playing XII, I noticed tons of errors that I hope SNKP learned, the loading times, some little freezes from the screen qhen you START anything, how long it takes to press start in see the menu, etc, etc, from an interface point of view, the game is horrible there too

When PurpGuy was talking about "teams that make some sort of sense" it seemed like he meant what makes sense for them to be a team story wise. Which is not something I really care about. As for team chemistry, that's definitely something I'm down with. However, sometimes I think it's important to just play the characters you want to and to hell with how well they work together (excluding serious competition of course).

mmm, I don't know, there are examples, like one friend who told me than in 98um he never picks ex yuri and eiji because he feels than both characters play similar, then there is all the factor of those characters who are used just to earn stocks, and later the ones that will use those stocks, and so and on, there is also all the factor of counter picks

About pick the high tiers, I'm not so sure about that one, at least in 2002um, 98um, and in a lesser extent XIII, you can still see teams beating high tiers teams without using the 2 or 3 gods of the game

I could see both points actually.

Playing high tiers is not guarantee win but there are higher chances to win than wih low tiers.i personally play a lot of low tiers and mid tiers and i still win most of my matches in 98.But against a high level player with high tiers you're most likely gonna lose if you only have low tiers in your team..sometimes mid tiers can help but it depends.

And again with team chemistry.It has no sense in XIII (in some older kof's that used assists it really mattered but it wasn't so deep) because during a match it doesn t matter who are your team mates because you ar fighting 1 to 1.If you are smart you will pick to win the characters with the biggest health and/or damage.That is not team chemistry ... that is playing to win using rudimentary logic.In mvc 3 there is a lot of team chemistry because assists can be a decisive factor in a game, you have to experiment a lot until you get a perfect team - by using your previous experience from older matches.

"Team Chemistry" probably means who gets to be the battery and anchor though. While it's true that you are technically doing a 1 on 1 fight for each member in the team, you have to admit someone's gonna be better at raking power stocks than others. Someone else is also gonna be more dangerous to play as with power stocks while another won't be even needing those at all.

Let's say for example you want Yagami at your 3rd slot. While you may be able to form a team with Vice and Leona, you're obviously not gonna be able to get as much stocks than from a team with K' and Kyo.

There is "Team Chemistry" in KoF, it's just not the same (or as significant) as it was in KoF XI, or in the MvC series.

Meter management, both in it's grown and use, is an element of chemistry. You don't want to have 3 heavily meter-dependent characters on a team, or multiple people that your playstyle gets the same basic use out of.

Where you personally choose to place your heavy hitters, whom you decide to meter-build with, and who to spend it all with, what rounds you decide to do it on, what order you put the members in; these are all elements of team chemistry.

mmm, maybe the correct word is not chemistry?

I don't know, there must be a difference between mahvel and KOF on how to make your team

Maybe in the sense than in KOF, making a team is more generic than said marvel where the combinations could be maybe more specific or different

For example, (I don't know shit of marvel, so this are just generic examples) cap america works well with wesker, but he works even better with deadpool

In KOF if we use the previous example, you can change vice for another character that doesn't use so many stocks and Iori will not be really affected that much in comparission with c.america

Having Terry, Ralf and Clark will make you smell manly men.

Anyway, it's fine to have no sense of who's gonna be anchor and all, since even with the order, the anchor might not even have stocks if the character prior used them all before getting KO'd. Still, it does make things easier for you.

Personally, I tend NOT to think about the character order. For me, I really just choose who I want to play next, and I have the tendency to use Single/Team Random too. However, I do pick someone last sometimes, because he'd get more power stocks than the first two. Ash is a great example for that since he can get the most out of five full power stocks. (Admittedly, it's not really the case for me since I can't do crap with Sans Cullottes. I pick him last cause I know his general play style and could bail me out in tight matches).

It depends in a controller pad sometimes is a real pain in the ass to press 2 buttons together

For example, on the XBOX, I had no problems with AB, CD and BD, but with AC and specially BC, I had to use macros, same with ABC, but just pressing A and the BC button I could do it fine

About macroing combos, is that even possible? I know that XBLA games had command combos, but all of them can't be used in XBOX LIVE matches, so I see no problems

Even using macros in an arcade stick is not that big deal for me, some people could had problems with it for whatever reason

The only time I had a problem with macros was a brief stint when I played VF5. Our "top" player was only as good as he was because he used a pad and had macro buttons. Every time he tried to play on stick or without the macros he was pretty bad. However in regards to kof 13, I think there isn't anything that execution heavy so I don't see me having any problems with macro buttons.

kof xi had a shitty annaouncer, this one is better but still not perfect. old announcer from kof was kinda dope.

KOF XI, XII and 98 all had the same announcer: Harumi Ikoma. Also the voice of King, Blue Mary and MANY other SNK characters. People make fun of her announcing all the time, but, to me, she's basically the voice of SNK.

KOF XIII announcer is great though.

for kof i like the 94, 95 and 97 announcers (are they the same?). in 98 this gurl sounds ok. in xi she sounds retarded, the engrish is soo horrible with some of the names. and lets not even get started with "perfect", thats the most retarded sounding perfect ive ever heard.

man having no info sucks ass. were having discussions about game announcers. shits getting sad.... :( see.

Don't worry guys. A week and a half to go. Hopefully EVO and Otakon bring some juicy info. Funny how everyone was so upset over the lack of news on a console version, but, now that we got it, the wait has become even more difficult for some of us. At least we can be thankful that Atlus/SNKP has more surprises in store for us via characters/stages/modes and that it's not going to be a barebones port.

The entire roster has now leaked for UMvC3, lol.

I have to say... anyone they add from KoF will excite me more than most of who they added to that game. Maybe that'll give XIII a bit of an edge? It's fresher, everyone won't have a version they purchsed 10 months ago still being played, all of it's new content will actually be... new (unless you count the Iphone stuff), and hopefully not leaked months in advanced, and it'll have nearly a month's head start for word-of-mouth to say "hey, buy this instead, fighting faithful!"

Or they could just do a "You think Raiden is broken? AERIAL X FACTOR is WORSE!" marketing campaign, and almost everyone would believe it! ;) (It might even be true!)

I really hope SNKP knew of UMVC3, and is ready to swoop in with proving they're the alternative to what that game is giving.

There's no women in their new roster. Hope XIII console doesn't make the same error with it's new characters.

MvC is now getting spectator mode, so XIII's netcode better be up to par, if not better, as a new lobby-friendly game will be coming around the same time.

UMvC3 is also adding new moves to old characters. Will we see that in XIII as well?

The DBZ game coming out on the same day wasn't any REAL comp. But with Capcom directly having something, at 10 bucks cheaper, that comes out less than a month from XIII... will the marketing change in any way, to reflect this?

It's gonna be an interesting thing to watch! In an odd way, this makes me even more hype for XIII, lol.

Oh yeah, and no hate for Phoenix Wright... if Capcom does as good a job with making him "a joke, but relevant!" as SNKP does with Shingo, he'll be fantastic to have in a game. Megaman X Omission is pretty sad, however...

There's no women in their new roster. Hope XIII console doesn't make the same error with it's new characters.

Why is it bad that there isn't any new Females in UMvC3? I really can't think of any other female worth putting there besides Lady(DMC4) and Roll(Megaman), maybe on the Marvel side would be nice. But I still don't see the bad part about not having females in the update, there are plenty in the original roster.

BTW Why the fuck did Nemesis and Rocket Raccoon make it to the roster? Those 2 are just wasting space, they could had easily been replaced. Nemesis by Jin or Gene and Rocket Raccoon by Ms. Marvel or Gambit, bah! Stupid Capcom.

That was sometimes an issue in CvS2.  Certain colors were pretty much unchangeable since they screwed up the character's outline, or other unrelated areas.  With the new KoF sprites, though, I think the colors are designed specifically for easy palette swaps.  There was even an article a long time ago about how they can change a character's entire outfit simply by swapping palettes, which used Yuri's leggings as an example.  Raiden's bare chest would be another.

All things considered, a simple interface like CvS2's shouldn't be too difficult, I'd reckon.  As long as your custom palettes display on the other guy's screen, or else that kinda takes the fun out of it.

For me, I actually like creating pixel art, and getting to manipulate colors on such well-detailed, well rendered characters is pretty cool.

Along with that, it's also fun to make team colors, or to try and replicate characters SNKP would never think to make reference to.

It'd be especially cool for XIII, where the character colors have been broken into multiple parts, to allow for "alternate costumes". Such versatility would allow for lots of creativity, great for those who'll take the modifications seriously.

One more note, NGBC's modification was fantastic. It allowed you to generate gradients between colors automatically, to make shading and highlighting much easier for those who don't want to get into elements of color theroy, or manipulate several colors to make a decent skin tone. It was cool to see them put some extra time and care into it.

And It's funny that his "Naked Apron" Yuri actually looks less vulgar, and more like a reference to a certain Alt outfit for a certain Cherry Blossom.

But like I said a long time ago, that can be fix. Just let the user do Color Saturation, that way you will always have your bright to dark tones but never all completely black or white.

Yup, Pixelart is great!

But if SNKP gives us the chance to do color edits, that would make the game so much fun for me. Heck, I don't care if they charge me 5 bux just to have 10 slots for custom colors, I will gladly pay that.

Talking about Edits, on that same page, they made an awesome color edit for Clark. He is all green, but the reason for that is so cool, I never would had thought of it. He looks like a Toy Soldier and that fits him perfectly. Stuff like that can make a character more interesting and just fun to watch.
So you like my armyman-colored Clark?? that a relieve, I thought no one will appreciate it.
and yeah, you can add 10 more color slot in your KoFXIII characters by pressing the start button.
and if anyone hate seeing the custom colors, they can simply press start button one more time to go back to their 10 default colors.

and if you guys have any Idea about what extra colors should I do add next, just leave a comment to my blog.

I don't really see how that should be priority one. If it is fixed fine, but if it isn't I'm sure it will be. SNKp ain't that stupid. If we are aware of this glitch, then I am sure they are.

I'm far more interested in seeing if there are any new characters. You can bet that if there are I'll get some footage of it (especially if Mary is there). My second priority will be to find out if we really can do the mid-air EXDMs and 2 stock neomax moves.

Yeah, I meant at Evo. I'm so hyped I forgot to be specific. You make a decent point, but they have been doing a good job at removing glitches from XIII so far. Even if they only patched the game once. But if it does turn out I'm wrong, well then I guess I would have to be glad I don't play Takuma. Though I would extend my condolences to those that do.

The only reason I'd wanna see Stun on combos removed... is if they gave us some moves that had stun in them (Like how Ramon would perform a Ranbu-style thing on you, only to jump around your stunned body, and then land a final dropkick), or gave us moves that lead to it (like giving B.Mary actual stun after using her Stungun.)

They obviously put time into making stun / dizzy animations, no need to get rid of it entirely. And by nature of the game... combos are gonna lead to stun eventually.

I'm actually quite impressed with how hard it is to land stun in this game. As long as the combos go, you'd think people would get stunned out of every HD combo, or after 2 or 3 [jump C, Stand C, Command normal, Multi-hit special] combo.

The only solutions that I'd prefer... is if Stun lowered combo damage substantially, OR allowed for say, only a reset, or a single hit afterwards, similiar to crumple. Maybe even have it lead to 2x damage for the next blow (leading people to using powerful single hit skills to finish Stun), but causing a hard knockdown.

I will say, it is weird to see a stun mechanic, when the combos needed to land stun seem to be HUGE. It does make one wonder...

For those that watched as it happened, how big was Stun back in 98 High-level play? Of course, you also had the ability to call a team-mate in protect you, back then....

Well I rarely see characters going to stun in video matches, so I don't think it's a problem. Besides the reason it doesn't happen often is because one of the characters is always lower in health than the next character from the opponent. So I don't see any problem with the stun in KOFXIII.

We appreciate the fact that you didn't.  Everyone has different opinions about the stun combos and that's ok.  I edited Zabel's post as well.

Personally, I feel there should be a cap to how much you can stun in one single combo, making it two combos minimum before you can stun.  

The reasoning being that it gives an advantage to characters that can do stun combos since you can build so much meter while at the same time rendering 5 stock HD combos redundant (as most stun combos only require 2 stocks + 2 drive).

I'm speaking from experience when I say that getting hit by a 4/5 stock 100% HD feels fine coz they saved up the requirements.  Getting hit by stun combos; makes, me at least, feel cheated.  I feel the same way I felt when getting hit by Mature's infinite...just my two cents.

Regarding XIII, they say to wait just a bit longer, they will have info soon. It seems they will post something for the 31st? Also they have a link to famitsu website, it just shows a comic strip, not sure what it's about.

None of the commentators aside from haunts really had any access to the stream chat. He gets to sit in front of the laptop with the stream chat and A/V equipment while we sit in front of a small monitor to focus a bit more on the match.

I tried to be a bit more analytical and explanatory during commentary, so any feedback on how that went would be helpful. I know I went a lot into the scene and the state of things and just trying to promote the game and EVO, so I apologize for not really sticking to match commentary at times.

As others have stated, don't be averted from watching a stream just because of the stream chat. Whether it's KOF or any fighting game, people will troll just to troll. Close chat and enjoy the matches.

I was disappointed at some of the people doing the commentaries, specially when they didn't know their stuff. Heck, someone said that KOF XII didn't even have a training mode, that lid up a whole lot of stupid commentaries in the chat. *shakes head*

@Fata, from the small bit of commentating I heard you did a great job! All you really need is more experience OR someone who's already well versed in commentating to lead you on a bit. You have all the knowledge and you aren't afraid to talk so after a few more tries your commentating should increase in skill ten fold.

@Dark, A couple of us actually stood outside for a bit discussing the commentary and how it went today. Overall we concluded that it went pretty well but we should be a bit more selective on the commentators. I think what they're going to go for next week is someone with a ton of knowledge about the game and one more experienced commentator (ipw crew) to lead on the questions. But yeah, RogerDodger and Haunts don't know a lot about KOF 13 and they don't try to pretend they do. They're there because they're really good at commentating and can help the more technical commentator along. I think next time should be a lot better.

The stream was great overall, the only time I was disappointed in the commentary was when someone used their time on the mic to basically just trash talk Capcom, even throwing out the never-classy "Crapcom". Later on I think the same commentator went on a similar tangent about the Smash community, despite RogerDodger's attempts to redirect him back to the match at hand. It's not that I'm upset out of some deep love for Capcom or Smash, it's just that lame fanboyism isn't the kind of representation that KoF needs.

But yeah, fantastic stuff from all of the players and 99% of the commentary.

There is no problem in having people not knowing about the game and then learn stuff while watching. The problem is when people who starts talking and say their thing as they know what they are talking about when that is not the case. Is better to hear "I'm not sure about it, but it looks like (insert stuff), hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong" than "Yeah, this happens when you do this this and this" when in reality none of those "this" happen or work.

But the moments when those commentaries happen were minimal, but just something that bothered me at times. Still it was a great stream to watch and I had fun seen the matches.

I would recommend, if it's possible, to have a Wiki with the game mechanics there so people who don't know and commentate can read and learn about the game and discuss that in the stream. I think that could work fine.

I definitely wasn't around to hear any of this kind of talk, but it is rather disappointing. I'll see if we can work on having fixed commentators and having them rotate. I feel like there's enough trolling on stream chat, so the commentary should try its best to be spot on and focused.

Bad Ending /Saiki's stage is shown at 0:24.
Adel must be confirmed, 0:25 shows his 2003 stage.
If there's going to be a rose stadium rooftop stage then i'm all hyped.

Alot of fun details in that trailer!

- Ash's art of crushing the Magatama could very well be a refresh to his final scene in the arcade opening. Or a story sequence involving him stealing Iori's power.

-Mary and Mai seem to be surrounding Andy in FF team artwork first shown. That scene takes place in PaoPao also.

- Ryo with his classic AoF bike, cool. Yuri looks so tiny there, fitting with her XIII appearance.

-The Magazine Mai and Yuri, and King are speaking of obviously has B. Jenet in it.

-Kula's art in the K' team segment seem to lack her usual jacket, showing her shoulders and back some. That's make a nice alt costume...

The Flashed Stages:
- Iori 95
- Clocktower (Billy stage)
- (New from Trailer) Interior Chapel area, with a craggy red, volcanic looking floor
- The destoryed manor-lookin' stage
- (New from Trailer) KoF Back Alley
- Kyokugen Dojo
- Desert Area
- (New from Trailer) Adel 2003 Aky Noah

- Ash's max cancel takes 2 bars of meter.
- Ralf's Max cancel takes 2 meters as well.
- Marco / Butt in the BG seems to be a similiar pose to his pose in the jungle stage, if not exact same.
- Pao Pao cafe has moving overhead lights. Looks nice!
- Is that Mr. Big in the BG with Terry VS Ryo in the Alley stage?
- Terry's Max Cancel takes 2 dars of meter.
- Ther new cover art is so awesome looking.

The website seems to suggest that every character having 20 colors now, is a default. They call it customization... does this mean we might have some form of color / 2nd palette detail edit?

Kinda suprised they still didn't show console Billy Kane gameplay... but they showed quite a lot! The new stages look very sharp in motion, though I'm personally more a fan of the crowded arcade-original stages.

Doesn't seem to be any roster slips or such in the list of characters in this trailer, unlike those slips of playable Saiki from one of the SNKP videos during arcade release, lol.

-Winter 2011... Oh well.

Going by everything we've seen so far SNK definitely seems to be treating it like KOFXIII.5 or Special, there is quite a bit of new content. This also makes chances of balance changes more certain.

SNK will probably release this on the Nesica arcade system after the console release (ala the new KOF2002UM version).

Well, Shen's max 1 is still 2 bars. He'll need 4 bars, unlike Iori who can use 3 bars to do big damage. Anyway, the game's damage might have gotten a rebalance as well.

lol thanks for that! But it seems they got the trailer from SNKP, the one they might show in EVO or something and then just add the white backgrounds sections and placed the KOFXIII Arcade trailer music on top.

Can't wait for the real trailer to be released.

BTW in Orochinagi interview they reconfirmed that there will be no English Voice Acting. =/

Atlus and Rising Star are basically just releasing the game in NA & EU, but the game is been done completely by SNKP.

I don't mind the no English voices, anyways i always use the original voice work for all games i play.

It's just that it would look weird to have the cutscenes without voices, like the arcade version, that was something i didn't like. The game will gain a huge plus to me if they include voices, but if it doesn't i'm not gonna die for it :)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this from the Rising Star site:

Unlockable customisation options to make your fighter unique - choose from over 20 colour types, parts and icons.

Parts and Icons? I don't get the Parts part, maybe stuff like Takuma Mr. Karate mask? I'm curious on what they will do on this area. Icon? Well I assume they will do the same with what SF did with the Online Icons.

Man, I'm so hype for the color edit. I still wish that SNKP released that as DLC, I want SNKP to have my money.

2 meters only in hd mode? whjat about using it combos while just using ex moves and no dc meter (thus not going into hd mode). i think the reason they did this was so that everybody in the game can perform a maxcancel combo with their first character available.

Well, I wouldn't be suprised if arcades additional palettes are just prototypes to costume modifications (Like the Rigging Model items in MI) for the console release.

I... really don't remember seeing that 2D KoF World MMO back during XII, haha. That girl character there looks very similiar in stance to how Yuri looks in XIII. And the Power Geyser Special Effect is directly from KoF, too.

Anyway, I wouldn't be suprised to see some additional costume parts show up (they seem to suggest they're unlockable), and it would be nice if they act like MMO equips, showing up on the sprite, and animating like they've always been a part of them. They do a great job with Bear and Takuma's mask, Yuri's Ponytail, etc. I wonder how crazy they'd go? Taking the bomb belt off the Ikari Warriors? Giving terry his MOTW jacket? Hanging additional gourds on Chin? Robotic eyes for Maxima? Will be very interesting to see what they come up with!

There was a rumor of such mods existing in XII as well, so it's funny to see it resurfacing again.

Kinda hard to say. I'd first wanna say it's whatever group they always used to make their in-game stuff (Which I'd assume is in house?); but looking at things like the animation of Ash crushing the magatama, I wouldn't be suprised if Madhouse or Aniplex were involved either... (That'd be quite an unexpected step up from what they've done before, though!)

Do we know if they ever used outsourcing for their Pachislot games? I'm pretty sure they did for the cellphone stuff like Days of Memories...


More speculation time! Various people on the net think the back alley stage is Micky's stage from AoF1. Wouldn't it be weird if MICKY was a returning character?? Talk about Random...

I'm sure K' got nerfs, there is no way SNK is not aware of how overused he has been in the arcade version.

The only nerf that can coincide from these buffs is a massive health reduction to make him akuma esque

We're also gonna find out he's the first character to break 1000 health.

You suck and we hate them! ;)

Question since you're here... could you look into the move list (if they're in the game) and stap a picture of any changes (or new stuff, like in the case of Billy or Saiki)? Doesn't have to be anything exaustive, just a pick of any changes you notice, of basic moves.

Thanks if you can, thanks anyway if you can't! Atlus shoudl give you an honorary PRman badge, haha.

Saiki so far looks unimpressive and boring.

We better be getting more interesting console exclusive characters than him... need more classics like Billy.

Terry can do 2b,2b,2a,2c to start combo.

I'm assuming he means 3C? If not... that's some buff to either hitstun, or start up speed, on those normals. if 3C, that's a considerate buff to it's old hitbox. Either way... Buffer Terry is a GREAT thing.

Well, Saiki playable. Cool, I guess he will team up with Ash... or maybe not.

Great to see alt outfits, I hope all characters have one! Awesome job

K' buffed? This is a joke, or some kind of error.

Great to see EX aerial DM are now allowed.

I prefer european cover art. Why? Yes, because it has an splendid Mai Shiranui. So I'm definitely buying european version. But american one looks very nice too, and it has Mature. I wonder if PS3 version will be different and how japanese version will look like.

Any other gameplay changes of any other character? Alt outfit for all of them or just Kyo?

Ah, the gloriousness of being able to do EX DM Max Cancel into NEOMAX with only four bars. I think that should make characters like Hwa Jai more viable regardless of his buffs, and he could always dish out crazy damage, but he needed the meter.

I don't see how that would help Hwa Jai that much. He didn't need significantly more meter than anyone else to deal big damage. For HD and 2 stocks he can already get around 95%

Liz nerfs are completely justified, however from the way TheAnswer and other people phrased it it seems like she was hit quite a bit harder than she should have been. I kind of agree about the drop kicks. They essentially already cut the damage in half by not allowing you to follow up mid screen.
