This is the layout I'm gonna be doing for characters in KOFXI. Only Ash is pretty much done right now. I will be finishing off his wiki then starting others in a day or two.

Hope you all look forward to my new line up with Ash,Shen,Kim,Terry, and possibly Joe!!!

Never thought you would ever pick Ash. lol He has been my main since 2003 so I look forward to seeing how you play him.

Was Raiden banned in Alex's Arcade Tournament?

Very bad resolution but great matches from SMOAI:



(very cool HD Andy combo! WTF is this color?!)

Damn. The vids were removed.

shen, duo and ash all sucked at first. but all of them have grown and are staples now imo. even ash is likable now. 1 trash character that doesnt belong in kof though is elizabeth. shes soo fucking out of place, she feels like andrew in sst.

I never felt any of the Ash Saga characters were trash in the way they looked or how they played really. I'm also not sure why Elizabeth is out of place for you but whatever. lol

also is ogura that dope ngbc artist or the dope kof ex artist (since these the only 2 good artists theyve used in the last 10 years).

Eisuke Ogura is the main artist for NGBC as well as many other SNK games. My favorite work of his is KOFXIII.

Shinkiro is the awesome ex-SNK artist with that stylized realism the company was known for.

I will be heading by to my apt for a bit in The Bronx a month or so from now. I hope to finally play KOFXIII.

I'll be on that Training Mode. Hopefully, I can fight some people too.

I don't know if this variation of his juggle combos have been displayed before, but you can never have too many references anyways (HD into Sans Culotte into another Sans Culotte).

I have never seen that variation before. Looks really tough to perform too. Thanks for posting that Kane. I'm always interested in Ash gameplay stuff.

SNK's character guide videos for XIII were really good. Hopefully, you guys can make an overall tutorial vid as good or better.

Everyone above me has pretty much said what I would like to included but maybe Battery/???/Anchors should be described. I forgot what the middle characters are called.

That really sucks how you can't combo Thermidor off of EX Germinal Caprice. Only thing I could see being useful is GeneexxThermidor to bait a jump. You did say that no hits can be scored before Ash actually throws it. So maybe that tactic isn't useful either.

*must find way to make Thermidor useful*

Hopefully, with these new games (Chaos Code, VF5FS, KoFXIII, AH3, MK9, and some other games to come), there will be a true sense of what a fighting game is all about... I'm hoping that these games will draw both new and old fighting game fans, and that they bridge the gap that's needed...

While I can't speak for most of these games as I haven't played them yet, Arcana Heart 3 is the most solid, balanced, and just simply fun game I have played in a long time. There is just so much in that game to experiment with. Now new players to the game will see that the ground game may be kinda of slow but playing the game properly means you shouldn't be on the ground that much anyway.

KOFXIII/VF5FS I know I would love. Looking at the changes made to those games from previous installments makes me wanna play so badly.

Personally, I don't think Mk9 will be good but we'll have to wait and see.

Chaos Code shows loads of potential. It looks like a mix of an air dasher and KOF. I can't wait to get my hands on that game.

Seeing how a lot of Ash's normals are different now. I thought of some things regarding them.

Now that he lost his f+A overhead. It seems his high/low game may be a little lacking. Now he has to jump to score high hits. Though I'm not sure how viable that overhead would be in XIII since it wasn't even super cancellable in XI. Though in that game you could just Quick Shift from that to get big damage. IN XIII, I guess you could HD activate for a combo but I'm going on a tangent.

Anyway, Ash's j.C changed from a low angled swipe to a forward arm extended hit. How viable is j.C now? I remember the old one could even cross up.

His lack of a command grab isn't too bad but maybe it could of made Thermidor more useful.

Is Ash's j.D still as good for crossups/non-crossups now?

Is his far.C still Super Cancellable on whiff/hit?

*Gasp* An actual Chin player.  Woa.  Unfortunately, I didn't really learn anything new (EDIT2: Nevermind, I learned something really subtle but useful.  He uses d.C (whiff) into df.B as an anti-air.  Normally, I do far C into df.B but sometimes if they opponent is too close to me it'll become close C which doesn't have a very good anti-air hitbox.  Slick, I like the way he thinks: d.C into df.B is safer)

It's curious that there's a bunch of input on the Chin's Japanese BBS (as if there's tons of Chin players) and basically a bunch of harder combos out there yet none have been capture on film yet.  Where do these players practice and why don't they play at a-cho? =(

---
EDIT: I really paid attention to the first few matches and the skill level is relatively high.  I like particularly the first match of King vs Goro how they zone each other and purposely not finish their combos in a block string.

At least you got something out of the vids with Chin. There were maybe 7 Ash's, and I didn't learn/see anything new. Except canceling into Sans-Culotte from HD Mode after only 3 hits. Why would you even do that!? Seems like a huge waste of meter. Anyway, bad play all around from the Ash players. One picked up a combo after a screwed up HD activate but well that's it.

I did like the King play. Ash though was just......*sigh*

I'm 23. I first started playing SNK games when I was 6. There were cabs everywhere in NYC. The hairsalon/barber shop my mom went to had an MVS cab. My 1st games were ASO/Fatal Fury 2/Samurai Showdown. I would stand on a foot stool and play all afternoon while my mom got her hair done.

I've been playing SNK games ever since. I kinda slowed down in the early 2000's due to me moving so much. Around 2004 though, I got back into playing KOF and fighting games in general.

Yeah, a lot of characters overall have gotten changed significantly. It's definitely gonna affect me

My old main in 98UM/2k2UM: Chin. I doubt I'll have any idea what to do with him anymore. Vice I think I can handle.

My main in 2003/XI: Ash. A lot of his normals have been changed and i'll have to get used to no regular command grab and drive canceling with him. Still I look forward to playing as him a lot.

My other XI main Liz was just buffed all around. I'm very happy with that. But so many others are as well. All those people who never even played as her once in XI are abusing the shit outta her now. But I guess that's to be expected though.

I just wanna play XIII. I'm hoping that console port rumor is true.

- Great netcode

- All the new characters from the Ash Saga to be playable. That means Oswald, Malin, Momoko, Adelheid. It only makes since for them to be in since XIII is the conclusion. Also, a playable Botan would be awesome.

- Gallery

This is all I want added to the game.
