I thought they already said they nerfed the empty cancel in the few change list notes that we got.

Shen's far standing C sucks because it has very very very few frames of auto guard. So most of the time it will loose or trade.

OK So southtown arcade just got climax and play a good amount of games.

TBH there are very minimal changes it seems like. There are a couple things that I came across.

Shen - Far Standing C sucks =P
        - qcb + P = A LOT OF METER BUILDING!

Yuri - Seems like ex Command Grab would trade more often.

Kyo - I felt like his EX Command Grab did more dmg

You can still tech grabs on recovery also = /

If you guys would like me to try and check things out holla in this thread or hit me up on twitter @Rogerdodger

@Tone The starbase crew was saying that there is a KOF13 in the northbay, Not to sure where it is. Hit them up and they would know.

[WASTE]

Why not? There's nothing wrong with GameCenter. Not only that, people are there that want to play the game that don't come to STA. Getting them on the level we play at or atleast getting people hype about the game isn't bad. It means they'll want to play in tournaments which means they won't feel intimidated to come down to STA. I'm not saying "Show's over folks, moving on to other things!". I'm saying there's another machine out there and other players that don't know the game, but want to, and have access to it and don't use it. This encourages them to use it.

Ok cool there is another machine out there, Same with at state? So if you wanna get another place poppin might as well get something there also. There are plenty of people on campus that I am sure you can lure into there and get to play KOF.

Basically people will come to the arcade and play what they want, it is just how it is. As for people feeling intimidated for coming to southtown, I say fuck yea to that. Southtown is the home for the best of the best for KOF for NorCal. If you think you are good enough to come around and play us and put your quarter on the line, be my guest and attempt to blow me up. It is just how it is. People don't just change their minds. If you wanna start a friday night thing at gamecenter be my guest, blow up the scrubs there. If you wanna get better and learn from asking question to people who know the game more, Southtown is the place to be.

Real talk, most of the people will play a couple matches and claim they wanna learn . . but we all know they are waiting for console. For those who still wanna learn and everything will play arcade.

Wouldn't mind doing that. That sounds like a pretty good way to get matches in while holding the tournament setting.

You can play casuals 13 days out of 14 days. No reason to change it. Period. I don't care about getting more matches in and such. I want to have my 2 chances in a tournament to be #1. Of course there are a couple people in there that would love to get more in but that is how a tournament goes. No reason to change it. If you would like more matches come any other day that they are open and lets get some casuals in.

I was seeing people like tasty and freedom come in and get some casuals in, I made sure to help them out because they are at southtown learning and getting better. I want them to get better to help me get better. You are only as good as the people you play!

Again, this is what I do not understand. KOF has exposure from only one source, Iplaywinner. Iplaywinner only streams KoF at Southtown Arcade at competitive events. Why? It's the ONLY KoF competitive event in the Bay Area. If there are more events, that means more exposure and gives access to the game. Are we saying not to play at other places or teach other people how to play this game? I don't see the sense in an embargo of information and organization, especially when someone asks me for help to do it. It is a WASTE when the machine does not get the play it deserves, when the game does not get the exposure it deserves. For me, I am thankful Southtown Arcade exists and allows me to organize the tournament for KoF. I want nothing more than to see the business grow. I do not see how getting something going at GameCenter impedes that success, but I will be more than happy if someone explains that to me.

Until then, with clarity, KoF is going to grow everywhere in the Bay Area and I'll make sure that happens.

People watch streams for tournaments. Have you watched a stream for just casual play? Cause I have done it before and it is booooorrrring. If you like to do it rock on. There is a certain unspoken dedication that people get when playing at a arcade for months. Ask any of the socal crew on what arcade they would rep, Most of them would say arcade infinity (I think) They would be a ride or die for it. It is just how it is.

I know you wanna do good for the scene and everything(witch is awesome) but sometimes you gotta look where you are making a difference. Are you really getting that many more players playing KOF at gamecenter or you just beating up some people who play it once or twice and wait for console? Of course we all wish EVERYONE played KOF, but not everyone does. That goes for every game that is out on the market. There is a reason why IPW is working soo hard to expose the game out to the public.

Don't get the wrong msg from this about me not wanting other players to play the game. Of course I would love KOF13 to be numero  uno fighting game out there. Just since Southtown has been soo fucking amazingly awesome to us and the NorCal scene, why try to bring other buisness to another place when home has always been there. Why not try to get something goin on friday at southtown? Have you tried? You don't need to put the machine on free play to get people to come to a spot, just gotta spread the word and people will come.

Couple things here . . . .

Good stuff to everyone this weekend. Hellpockets hold that win cause it won't happen next time!

As for doing stuff at gamecenter . . . Why would you put effort there when you already got something goin at southtown arcade. We can do a get together no problem at STA (Prob Easier for everyone anyways)

As for changing the tournament style for the ranbats . . . Well unless it is a special event or a big tourny like SCR, there is no reason in my mind to change it. IF you wanna do something at the get togetheron friday, like a doller tourny swiss style I be down for that. NO reason to change something that good and everyone is used to doing it.

But as far as trying to get something going at gamecenter . . . well lets say that SouthTown Arcade has been there supporting us all this time, So lets support them since they have been supporting us.

Glad You guys had fun kicking our asses. Enjoy it while you can cause SoCal Regionals is right around the corner!

I would love to go down to SoCal for a good weekend sesh or something before console.

As for Driving situations for driving down to socal for the tournament I prefer to fly over drive due to time = /

Why U gotta Ruin the fun, We need to see their face like when we we walked in with them today =/

And goddammit...I can't wait for Sunday...

Damn Never herd of anyone getting excited to be exposed!

Back to the response to Reiki

All you gotta do is ask man, always willing to help you out. If we learn together we all get better and better. That is what can make a scene so powerfull. Yes we do talk about it on the mic and such but that is only when we stream, like i said before just ask or bring up a situation for a convo and I will be more than willing to discuss it.

Well, the best thing to do is to just wait until they say something worth noticing. What I would like to talk about is what we will do to expand the scene. As players, we have a limited set of options to introduce the game and expand our player base. That could be parties at the house or tournaments.

I feel like we really need to step up that sort of welcoming because we are still small. What would you guys say to some sort of info think tank, like a weekly question we try to solve through analyzing game footage. For example, we could introduce segments to deal with hop pressure or segments that talk about ways of applying throws to your mixup game and what throw you should use. This would be helpful for players who don't quite understand the mechanics and neutral game of KoF.

What do you guys think?

You def have good intentions about this but you also gotta remember it is still in the arcade. The best time to learn and go over situations and such is when your waiting in line to play. Being at the arcade is the best time to learn and talk about everything about the game or even at tournaments.

As for expanding the NorCal scene you can only do so much, as it is a arcade only game right now.

Glad you guys are really liking the SouthTown Ranbats. I don't think I have ever been as excited as I am about a fighting game as I am with Kof13.

There will always be more in the future!

What Up RogerDodger here!

Just picked up KOF13 bout a month ago and loving every moment of it!
I help stream for Iplaywinner
I live in NorCal

Love what dreamcancel had brought to the community for KOF and hope to see it get bigger and bigger! Decided to actually maybe be able to post up on DC instead of just lurking.

Hope to meet a lot of you one day, so GG's!

Damn Tasty it is like that eh?

That will happen when you don't go 0-2 in a KOF tournament. So that will pretty much be never to see that wish come true. <3

As for the surprise . . . . It is (*#$s4o2304wdfw08c7a8l0fdf(*^F9-YSdfuihsapdf7(*^(&*^

Have fun trying to crack that code!
