General Discussion / Re: For what system will you buy KOF XIII
« on: November 04, 2010, 04:44:48 PM »
PS3, I refuse to pay to play online, haha

I have a ps3 myself, and I'm planning on getting a 360 soon because PSN is trash compared to XBL. Just because something is free doesnt make it better.

2357
Is it just me or that some of the character threads here are missing?

2358
MvC2 is a capcom game and they tweaked it up a little bit for you can play it widescreen. Plus, the 360 has had SNKP titles since last year, and PSN has 0, so it tells you what side SNKP has the deal with. I hope the petition gets some kind of notice and if it doesn't hopefully there is a clear reason why.

2359
Nice, the link is on the front, thanks nilcam.

Not sure if the petition will truly work since I heard that Sony doesn't like standard definition 2D games for the PS3, but nothing is wrong with trying.

what i personally couldnt stand was the retarded way most of the people where acting like. really fucking irritating. it was like everybody was trying to scream harder than the next man to be heard above the rest. almost as gay as the usa chants. anybody ever here crowds chant nippon or france or uk uk? shits just sad. its pretty hard to have any repsect for dumb ass motherfuckers like that, not that i had something like that for most of them anyway.

It's called hype, have you ever been to any kind of big live sporting event (football, soccer, basketball) without anyone screaming harder to be heard above the rest?

Thanks for sharing! It would be fun if you tried streaming casuals like we do up here in MN...

The reality is if new comers keep losing non-stop (either by getting straighted/perfected/infinited etc...), they will stop playing.  No if's and but's.  If they don't, it's more exception than the rule. 

The regulars all have a hush hush guideline that if we're playing someone new, we try our best to make the match close so they'll be encourage to keep playing.

If a new player decides to quit playing a game after getting bodied repeatedly because they are new to the game and don't fully understand the game as much as people whom as put in more time in it, then it shows that they have no kind of perseverance whatsoever.

Yes, I can understand the learning experience can be a little frustrating, daunting and not fun sometimes but that can be related to a lot of things in life. Some people have to understand that it takes time/experience for you to be good at things. If a player is getting perfected, OCVed, infinited all the time, it will not last forever if the player wants it to. If that player is serious then they will try to turn that around in time and not quit because they aren't getting immediate results.

Letting players win does not teach them anything.

Sorry, my english is so bad, I know it :P  What I was trying to say is that they use any trick to win, I mean they don't win because they are good they win because their character has a dirty trick which opponents can not defend or some don't know how to respond it. And they use this trick again and again. What it's call abusive. But I understand them, they feel good winning, and they don't care a shit about if they like this character, if they are good players, if the game or that character is unfair, they win, it's all what they want. I don't play in this way, but now I understand this kind of players. They to want feel good, like everybody does. So the only thing I do is try to win them and blame the game's company because is not well balanced, but I blame them no longer anymore.

I'm sorta under the impression that you don't play fighters competitively like some of us do, so I'll cut you some slack.

As far as players abusing dirty tricks, who is to say the a move or a tactic is "dirty"? Maybe it is just really good and give the player more options? Also, it is up to the opponent to try to find a way around that trick or use it to their own advantage. There is always a way around something.

Valid point.  What if hard-earned money wasn't on the line, at least not hundreds or thousands, what if it was just a quarter, would you still need this everything goes mentality among friends in a casual match

A quarter is still money and it's still something to fight for in my opinion. It sucked having to go back and forth making change in the arcade, especially in places (like Japan) where it can be more expensive I heard. For me, inside the game, when the game announcer says "FIGHT" you aren't my friend anymore, you are my enemy, friend and competitor and I will try my best to defeat you. When the match is over, you are my friend and comrade again, lol.

Now, don't get me wrong there are matches and times where I play strictly to just try out new techniques and combos especially if it's a character I'm just fooling with or trying to learn so I may not play my 100%, or even if I'm playing against someone I can tell is new to the game, I'll take a little easy but beyond those times, it's do or die.

Having respect for your opponent is much appreciated especially in casuals cause if someone is always trying to do everything to win, then the atmosphere becomes MUCH more hostile and it can really kill the mood for a lot of players.


I agree and understand what you mean. I've played matches with people or against certain people where the air just felt really thick and tense and it did take the fun and jovial spirit out of the game. When the characters in the game look more happy than the people playing it, then there is a problem, hahaha.

BUT at the same time, it's gonna happen because fighting games to me is will always be a socially centered type game which will bring forth all kinds of different personalities to the table. Some people hate losing, some people don't give a fuck, some people are socially inpet, some aren't, some are disrespectful, loud, weird etc. so you gotta be ready for anything.

The really tense and thick matches were probably the ones that helped me out the most as player because I've done things in those kind of matches that I can't even replicate when playing really laid back and casually with some folks.

Um...I can't really say too much about KOFXIII because I haven't play it so, my apologies if I'm veering off topic.

2366
I never understood why a pro uses tiers that are broken or dirty things like infinites to win. It's not about honor, it's about being a good player or not.

Have you ever played a game in a tourney with a cash prize or a money match? What I'm saying is these pros are playing with their money on the line so they don't give a fuck about whom thinks they aren't a good player because they resort to play top-tier or using broken/dirty tactics. You gotta do what you gotta do to win, who care what people think, especially when you have your hard earned money on the line.

2367
I'm glad that finally we're getting information from 98UM, It was kinda sad that here people only talked about 2002um and XIII, with this great game being totally ignored

I agree with that 100%. I was thinking maybe people here didn't play it or something....

There is a bunch of good tutorial videos on youtube by Dark Geese featuring Qmax combos and other good techniques, so hopefully those will be added here too....

We keep hearing how it's sold out. Does anyone know or have heard of the official numbers of the game worldwide? You'd think they would make more if the game sold out and is still in demand.

Yeah, seriously. How many frigging machines did they produce? Like under 50? lol.

2369
Main reason why I ask is because I don't really see a lot of Jhun's either on Japan videos and I haven't seen many in the Mexico videos you post, so if you can link me some, it would be great. Another reason is because I've been learning him and he seems kinda trickier to use than some of the characters he shares his class with...

What makes Jhun S class in Juarez?
