KOFXIII DLC List?

It looks like it's full of unlock keys. Weird that EX Iori it's not in the list already.

Where did this come from in the first place?

Facing people better than you is the best way to learn.

ive never really agreed with that i always thought it was better to go at a steady pace

Well you shouldn't try to go from 0-60 (aka, going from barely knowing the game to facing complete high-level players), but once you get to the point where mediocre players aren't getting the job done for you and you can wipe them out with relative ease, you have to take your shot against the high level.  If you don't, you start plateauing which is a disaster in itself.

my bad then most people make it seem like you only need to play high lvls in order to learn very rarely does anyone say you need to start small then go big

Well I would assume it goes without saying...though it IS the internet...

I'm still considering what team I want to make, and without any hands on experience I can't truly know what I'd want to do, however, the team I'm looking at right now is Shen/King/Hwa for Console.  Hwa seems to bleed meter so he'll definitely be the anchor (even more so in Console now that Dragon Backbreaker actually has good utility now), so the question is who should be out front, King or Shen?

I'm still a little green with KoFXIII (and KoF in general) but I'm...steering towards King on point then Shen second.  Shen losing his 100% Guard Break on his Charge Punch might not make him as good without meter (I doubt that's the case, I'm a bit ignorant, but it's a guess), and King doesn't seem to burn meter at all outside of HD combo finishers.

Shen + Resets = Scary! I normally just see him go for hard knockdowns, watching him SFIV style run-under was kinda unique.

The double jump loop with Duo was kinda nice too, maybe not entirely useful, but very flashy.

Cristina vs Atb_555 Exhibition 01 TAC 2011

Hmm, like the fact that since Kula's Freeze Execution DM and her Neo-Freeze Execution NM look so similar, it got the commentators to call out the Neomax.  I had to do a double take to make sure they didn't change it to two meters outside of HD mode too.

Hey welcome to DC Saitsuofleaves!  Make sure you give yourself a proper introduction over at the Meet and Greet section.

I know what you mean, I actually thought it was a NeoMax too and I also had to rewind to see when she went into HD mode coz I know she only had 2 stocks.  Then I realized that it was an Ex DM; partly coz nobody remembers what her DMs/NMs look like but only her Ex Lay Spin (Ex qcb+K) and partly due to my ignorance (maybe more of the latter hehe).

Yeah, actually that's probably the only time I've seen a Kula actually make use of her DMs (let alone THAT DM in particular) in an actual match.  It's not like she's ever needed it, all her meter went toward EX Lay Spin, but I guess without the invul it had on Arcade, she won't use it as much leaving room for her to actually use her DMs to get by a zoning game rather than just spinning her way through.
