KOFXIII Back Roll Option Select
« on: November 29, 2011, 07:15:09 AM »
Not sure if this was already discovered, but I figured this out while in the laboratory i'll use Benimaru as an example so the sequence is:

J.D > 4AB ~ 5D

Explanation: So it works as follows if Benimaru's JD whiffs, you automatically land and back roll. I figured it could work versus 2B short hop anti airs. Thought comments, also i'm sorry if this is old technology, i'm still pretty new to the KOF series.

I've heard talk about this in another thread, though I haven't actually tried it out myself yet. Thanks for the info, though.

Yeah that's pretty cool. Never thought of doing that. I'm old school KOF, but guess my tech sucks -lol

It might be very spacing specific if you can get away from an AA cr.B with this method or a simple case that the opponent fluffed the timing to AA you.

I was going to test it further today once I got back into the laboratory and i'll post my findings. ^^

Edit:
Atb_555 is definitely correct it helps gets away from poorly timed AA cr.B, also it helps escape pesky reverse input auto-corrects. For example if you ever jumped over Kula and the game autocorrects into her slider shooter. You'll automatically roll and follow her so it can definitely be of use.
