Gamespot interviewed Mad_KOF:

I just learned about Positive Edge and it helps a lot when doing instant slide:

+ > + (HOLD )

That makes it way easier, just input the 2 motions fast and hold the 2nd K.

Tried DP to +HP, but haven't figure out how to use Positive Edge in that cancelation.

Ok, let me get this straight, I input a motion and then hold the corresponding attack button, then in the first available frame, the move will come out?

I'm a bit confused on this, I know Negative Edge you hold the button and you can release it and the move will come out, so in this the move will come out without releasing the button?

Right, all of that uses one meter. Just like Andy's Zaineken. You can punish it with meter-based moves or supers, but it has to be on-point and you have to react to it immediately.

Yes, but unless you have precise reaction or you put your opponent is specific situations and you have the timing for the 2nd input right, you will end up not hitting the opponent with the tip. Leading to a huge damage and not need to use an EX or Super.

I wish that no matter the situation it was always safe, of course only if the first hit doesn't "HIT", just the Slide hits. If the aerial kick hits, then the slide will be unsafe. I don't expect it to be super safe, at least as safe as Andy elbow hit, which can be punished with certain normals, but depends the character.

We forgot a really important question!

What's the story behind the CafeID table?

Even if they don't realize you're unsafe, what can they punish you with? You're in far normal range. Aside from maybe some super punishes (like Andy's Zaineken), it's not practical to punish it like that.

A fast reversal is what Ive been hit with. Other than that nothing.

Yup, I play against a Kim, he just needs to do EX Flash Kick. =/

Everybody is asking stuff about players and their way of playing, so I will be different. =P

1. What is your opinion on KOFXIII balance?
2. Do you feel the game needs some adjustments?
3. What you want to see next for SNKP and/or KOF? A revision or XIV?

Thats about it

Some words and props from Atlus: http://dreamcancel.com/2012/07/09/a-few-words-from-atlus-regarding-kofxiii-and-evo-2012/

Let's keep things moving around here to keep the KOF momentum and hype going. Who's with me?

I'm with you, I will help however I can.

I would be happy who ever won KOF, Bala or Mad_KOF, I never felt this, but when Bala was trying to pick a character I was shouting characters like the spectators. Then in the fights when Mad_KOF dropped a combo I just said "NOOOOO!!!", yet I said the same thing when Bala dropped combos.

I just wanted both to win, and then the "K.O.F." shouts in the ceremony... Man... that just Hyped me up more, I have never screamed so much in a finals as in KOFXIII. And what is the best, everybody in the FGC is saying the same, KOFXIII was the hypest game in this EVO. 

Man... after playing some sets with my friend, I just wish K instant slide was safe on block. I mean, that would help his game a lot! But even on max distance is unsafe. =/

Question guys, after seen this EVO Finals, do you think KOFXIII needs a small (really small) balance patch? Or did Mad KOF proved that this game is as balance as it can get?

I can't see any game been more hyped than this one!

Congrats Mad KOF!

I'm so proud to see KOF turning out this amazing! Congrats to SNKP too!

That Mad KOF vs Reynald was epic!

EDIT: Fuck Bala, I want Mad KOF to win! He deserves it! =P

Here are some Corner combos for Robert, a friend of mine wanted to play with him and I went to the lab with him to see what tips I could give him. I end up doing some combos and he does a lot of damage easily, one of them is exactly as Diavle one, but I have some other ones that might be interesting.
