KOF XIII 6th General Thread: Console Released edition

[solidshark]

If anyone still cares about reviews, the guy from the fighters generation gave a 9.1 to this game.

I figured F. Yagami (I'm guessing that's the webmaster's name) to give this one a good review. Nice to have it come from someone who plays a lot of fighters like a lot of us, and most KOFs.

dudes cool, loves samurai shodown (straight up best series ever conceived that never really turned great because snk wanted tomake kofmore popular and mainstream, these fucking bitches). also the characters he likes are actually the characters i like. it doesnt seem like he really knows 13that well judging  from hisreview, but  its clear he loves what he sees. so do i, now if onlywe couldsee a ss in better than kof 13 style (made by ss64 artist).

That's actually a pleasant surprise!

I'm surprised Gamespot picked KoFXIII over MK. Well this just proves how fantastic XIII is!

A pleasant surprise in-D!...

PS: too bad for the PS3 People, having to wait 20 more days... Viva la Xcaja360

I don't liked the reasons that they gave for kof xiii as fighting game of the year, it was a surprise, but the reasons where really bad, specially the netcode one

I'm just cynical to all this awards sadly, I just hate them since there is a lot of shady reasons behind them

I do agree with you, they didn't sound very convincing, but I still believe KOF13 is the best F.G out right now.

Have not found any info that Kyo will be delayed for Japan PS3 yet, but almost certainly have to assume it...

EDIT: blog from 2 wks ago shows 12/20 xbox and 12/22 ps3. Last week's shows 12/20 w/o mention of platform. Knowing SNK, they have probably overlooked some of the details... worst case, have till wait till thursday to get any info

OK, for all non US folks looks like we are good:

'The only DLC affected is the North American PSN release of NESTS Kyo.'

^ Yeah, I know. =(

Man, I wanted to play with NEST Kyo, heck I even bought a 10 dllrs PSN Card earlier today. =(

Oh well, at least we got news on the PATCH, but it seems they will only fix the randomness of the bars and give us the option to not accept a Ranked match if we see the bars are low. I wonder if they will also improve the netcode.

[nilcam]

I think we can expect them to optimize the code as well as fix the listed issues.
