Yeah, I met Jamarr at Final Round.  I was surprised when he told me that kof is the most popular game in Nebraska, with more than 20 players.

Yeah, I want it on the vita as well.  They should at the very least port the iphone version over to vita.  That mobile version is actually pretty decent!

Chin Gentsai / Re: Chin Gentsai (Console)

!)Personally I think the hardest matchups for chin are: Daimon, King, Benimaru, EX Kyo, Ex Iori.

Daimon and King are hard because of their good pokes, especially st.B which hits low and have good range.  Chin gets out poked easily.  In close range, Daimon's grabs beats many of Chin's options.  Against good King players who know the range of Chin's barrel rolls, it's hard for Chin to get in.

Benimaru is tough because of his jump arc.  He can basically vertical/jump back D all day and wait for Chin to make a mistake.

EX Kyo and Ex Iori (and to a lesser extent the regular versions) both rush down Chin very well.  Chin has to be very on point and make good guesses with his options.

2) Chin's counter is 1-frame.  It is a good reversal only if your opponent is predictable since it only counters either high or low (ex version counters both but has very little active frames).

3) Press B+D to cancel kick stance is the fasting way.  Your other options are cancelling it into another special (counter, Ex back fist, Ex roll, etc).

They didn't include koukou and ET's characters:

Koukou plays kim, karate, and claw iori
ET plays clark, benimaru, and karate
*not sure what characters ricky diaz actually used at evo..

With that info, the new list looks like this:
Kim, karate - 7
Beni - 6
Shen - 5

Online Matchmaking / Re: Business Picking Up? KOF XIII getting updates on XBL?

« on: July 22, 2013, 09:08:57 PM »

What you're seeing happens by pure luck.  You connected with someone who's got a smoother connection, that's it.

PS3 in general are worse than xbox for netplay because most ppl on ps3 play wireless.

Updates to the netcode are done on the client side - you will receive a patch on your end.  It can't be done on the server side.  I assume you didn't get reveive an actual update from xbl?

Actually I do hope kof gets the early slot.  That way I could free up the rest of the day and go play some more kof with everyone.

Nah, you can't really play pachinko on a pc.  In any case, I'll buy it even if it's a straight port with no additional features.

I think Dune said something about the KCE stream being free for everyone on twitter.  Not sure about the SNKP Tournament though.

I'm really excited to watch the stream this time.  I think Japan has stepped up their game substantially ever since Climax was released.  It would be tough for team Korea one way or another.

For all the New Yorkers who are interested in coming, you can take Metro North and get off at the Stratford station.  Just let me know ahead of time and I will pick you up.
