KOF XIII 7th General Thread: Evo 2012 countdown edition

[solidshark]

The most amusing thing I've seen all day. Love how the K' combo will work on two different floors, but the game will still pay attention to physics on the final hit and in the cancel to his NeoMax. The way the camera moved for the chain drive looked really cool too.

That King/Saiki circus act is gold, someone should do it in tournament.

Kubo will attend evo2012 kof13 tournament.

So we'll have the KOF version of "When in doubt, Getsuga Tenshou"?

Can't wait to see xiaohai and dakou's performance in XIII, i think this might be the first time we get to see them play XIII.

Well.. I suppose commentators will migrate to other streams and new stream people will get a chance, but it is weird because spooky has allways had top streams compared to other alternatives imo. Wonder who will don his cape and travel the world (north america + canada) and stream all the streamables.

I wanted to but I was with my family, so basically I didn't have much time, sorry for that.

Could someone please answer my questions?!

Welcome back. Don't think there's anything new with Climax now; we're kind of waiting for player feed back on it. Just had the Total Eclipse SNK Tournament ('98/Garou/LB2), there'll probably should be more XIII streams coming up. The Shadowloo Tourney is May 4-6th.

I got a question anyone knows how to fight against Benimaru? I lost to Benimaru during Tournament way to many times. I'm asking how to play against him and any weaknesses I should look out for.

Who do you use ELTRO? My general advice with Benimaru would be either make sure you're mostly on the offensive with him, occassionally empty hop staight up or forward just short of him to bait a Super Inazuma, anti-air him whenever practical, try to sweep if you ever think he's going to Raijin-Ken.

This all sounds simple in-practice, but it's worked on pretty good players in the past. The basic premise is take away most of his options by being aggressive and maybe even clairvoyant to anticipate his next move. I've lost to Beni a lot too just knowing his tools and letting his reputation get to me. It's a little different from never letting a full-metered anchoring Shen touch (ToD) you, and makes you forget you're playing a very balanced game sometimes.
