KOF XIII 7th General Thread: Evo 2012 countdown edition

[Kane317]

They start talking about XIII at 29:00. You'll see today's DC front page @43:30.

If you listen to the whole vid, you'll hear KOF music throughout from XIII to XI.

Nice, I heard the whole segment.  Now I know I'm biased, but when you have UltraDave and JamesChen talking about our game, our websites, our Atlus tutorials--you know it's going to get some attention.  They are hands down the most universally respected figures in the FCC. 

Good stuff.

I do really appreciate them talking about mutual respect amongst different communities. I do get tired of people calling games like KOF, BB, GG, and AH as "anime games" or as SFIV and Marvel 3 as "scrub games".

Think that was incredibly important, because if we want people coming into our community, being bitter about how popular their game is and showing no respect for their talent and scene, isn't helping.

I think some people here have easily forgotten that SFIV helped revive the FGC.

If only it was summer, I'd have the opportunity to go. I'd definitely would want to go and meet up with other members of the community. If you can go, hope you can have enough fun for me and you.

Guys if you are interested, there is a talk show going on with mainly MK9 players but it also has Justin Wong guest starting. ---> http://www.twitch.tv/afterdarkgaming

And if anyone cares, he just mentioned that out of all the games this generation, he considers KOF13 to be the best fighting game.

so ive heard im just hoping he can convince some people how good it is since his name is worth more than its weight in gold in the fgc

A few things. First, as big a debate as their has been and maybe always will be for SF4 FGC resurgence talk, you can talk about it here now.

Second, some more big news (no source now though), Alex Valle has picked up KOFXIII for their main events on Thursdays, as he wants the game to get more recognition.

And third, a question for a lot of you that attend the offline meetings: What kind of characters are you used to seeing or playing? Is it always your mains, shoto-compatible characters, or are you ever surprised with who people might pick sometimes?

I think everyone is already convinced that this game is great. It's more about teaching people that you don't need to be freakin Flashmetriod level execution to play, and that this game rewards any and every type of skill/play style. The more people figure that out, the more they'll play.

Nice. I'll be tuned in every Thursday as long as I'm not out playing locally. As for character choices: In Minnesota, so far I'm seeing a lot shoto-compatible characters. For the most part it's Kyo. Everyone plays fire ball Kyo lol. I'd rate my most common seen characters something like: 1.)Fire Ball Kyo, 2.)Kula, 3.)Bennimaru, 4.)K'.

King, Yuri, and Vice are the most picked so I'm surprised about that

[Saitsuofleaves]

That reminds me, is Valle at least moonlighting in XIII?

This is very true.  I certainly went about it the wrong way when trying to convince MK9 players to try KOF.  I lost a lot of respect for MK9 as a game and it sort of bled into my respect of its players.  I disparaged their love while trying to sell them KOF and I think it made them resentful (duh!).  I got a few of them to buy the game but they never play it.  Oh well, live and learn.

Listened to the Orochinagi podcast with Juicebox and The Answer, really good stuff in there.  They echo my feeling that fighting games (and all games in general) are being dumbed down to appeal to the broadest possible audience.  I saw this happen to FPS games and now it's happening to fighting games.  It's cool that the genre is getting more attention, but I hope it doesn't set a precedent or influence SNKP to make Baby's First KOF.  Like they said in the cast, there's a mental reward aspect to KOF that some other fighting games don't always reach, or rather they plateau much sooner, if that makes any sense.  I don't want that aspect of KOF to change any time soon.

Great, great news about Thursday Night Fights!  Can't wait to see the reception.
