Sup Brandon/Bzerk, James and everyone else I havent met yet! Lol I have finally made an account here after being told by a few people that this is the place to go. I also introduced myself on the main page of the forums. I see Bzerk that you are very passionate about making this scene grow so I want to help you out, you can count one more guy in on the KoF hype train! Not only that but I have always wanted to play kof. I remember how everyone was saying KoF has an unforgiving learning curve with a high execution barrier. After spending time in the lab with this game it really isnt that hard at all lol. I am now able to do HD/Drive, and super cancel combos without a hassle. Also I told myself that my starting team would be Yuri/Robert/Takuma. but after I saw Ryo's Neo Max with his single slow mo punch I fell in love lol. Im not sure if he is a good char though because his projectile isnt that good and his mobility seems to be bad, but I am going to try to make him work, his damage output seems to be pretty high though. I am able to do a 950 damage combo with him.... but with the expense of four bars. Also I was getting a bit discouraged with takuma since I cant get his step kick into his charging flying kick attack consistently I can get it to work but not 100% of the time. I know that you must start charging as soon as you hit standing c, the motion just feels weird to me so im gonna pocket him for now. I have also been having fun with Robert, and bzerk that one trial where you do cr. b, cr. a, --> b is so impractical he has way better hit confirms lol. So as of right now my main team is Billy on point, Ryo, then Robert as anchor, what do you guys think? Ok I am typing waay too much and will shutup now. Its about 6 a.m. and for some reason I cant go back to sleep. See you all soon.
The longest quote in the world, lol. Well wassup, Josh. Nice of u to finally join the cause. I'd say Billy is probably good anywhere, his DP is probably the best in the game. I think Ryo is a good character, his projectile always does knockdown n he has really good corner pressure with it or I guess jus pressure in general. Ryo also has parries which he could then follow up with anything. He could parry everything except grabs, but u should be able to recover in time to tech whatever regular grabs your opponent does if they try to bait out your parries. Also a 950 HD combo with jus 4 bars is really good, basically a ToD combo after a random hit. Robert... Idk anything about Robert, lol. All I know is that it's possible to zone with him from what I've seen. For Takuma, I'd say play him on point because he doesn't have many defensive options, but then again dats all bzerk so ask him about. And for Yuri, really annoying pressure game, also dats all Konkrete, his Yuri is sometimes annoying.
Other than that, welcome to the Chi-town/Midwest thread!
