Thanks for the tips. I think I will probably just keep using KoF to practice since I get really frustrated switching between games.

I was having really slow motions, but I figured out what was causing it in part.

I was holding my hand too horizontally close to the hitbox, like the first image here. Once I raised my hand and wrist a bit, it felt like I had more leverage so I could do the motions quicker and more cleanly:


I always hold my button hand in the upright position like that, but didn't notice my movement hand was so low. I think I developed it from spending hours and hours trying to learn to do accurate half circles in KoF. Its scary how easily you can ingrain bad habits...

So, I know this is a real old topic, but I started learning KoF around the time I started learning hitbox, which is about a month and a half ago.

Anyone else use hitbox? Sometimes it feels great to use and other times it's incredibly frustrating. I finally am starting to get half circles down but now I'm beginning to have more trouble with quarter circles and double quarter circles. For some reason my quarter circles are starting to be lazy or too fast and sometimes they don't even come out in SF4.

Practicing motions over and over in training mode is really tedious, especially because I went through long periods of learning to do motions on pad and then on stick in the past year, since I've only been playing fighters about a year.

I'd use stick but my tendons just can't handle the stress, especially in KoF. I wouldn't be able to play KoF at all for any extended amount of time without a hitbox. Maybe it's just a matter of time.

Yeah it's too bad, but I try to make due. There's always at least one person to play with me.

I live in Buffalo, NY so I'm at the other end of the state from NYC. There's a few guys here who play but no one really good unfortunately.

Shame, cuz this will probably be the last time KOFXIII is at Evo.

Nooo ;-;

Hi, I've been trying to learn KoF the past 2 months so I figured I'd sign up here. I've been playing fighting games about a year now but had gotten sick and frustrated with SF4 so I decided to play another fighting game. So far I have found KoF to be fun and interesting. I like how good hops are but how they are still a commitment because you can't airblock.

Right now I'm trying to learn King/Mature/Leona. I live in NY if anyone wants to play, here's my steam profile:
