Topic: KOF XIII 8th General Thread: KOF EVOlving 2012

SBO ain't what it used to be for sure but I really think it's still an important tournament and it's been getting a lot more hate than it should. In regards to the game selection its still pretty good overall and your never gonna find a consensus on what should and shouldn't be selected (Outside of places like this since i'm sure everyone here will say KOF XIII should've been included).

Gotta show the KOF love with a fist bump.

Question on the video on front page about guard crush. This works only when the enemy does not have a stock to counter it right?

Of course.

Did anyone else here see Tokido's Claw Iori combo where he did 800+  off his ex grab then went into HD.. 
that was pretty sick.. and something i dun see very often in high level play

Guys on elizabeth's character forum it says that she cant link a normal from her qcb+P. I put the dummy on block all and make it spam heavy punch and when I counter it with qcb+p I can perfectly land a heavy punch. Can someone make clear this for me since I am trying to practice with her?

I should also remind people that in terms of guard gauges, Maxima and Goro have 150, Clark and Ralf have 125, everyone else has 100.

Try it with to set it so that the computer hits you with a light hit, see if that makes a difference.  I distinctly remember testing her counter out at Atlus but maybe they changed it in the final build.

Yup you are right .. It cant connect from lights but heavys do work.

<-- needs advice!

My second character is Elizabeth and my 3rd is Leona. I really need a good battery character to build meter for Elizabeth. Any suggestions? I used to have leona first but every time she is taken out Elizabeth starts with 0 stock!

[LouisCipher]

Ryo, Terry, the EX characters, Kyo, Clark, Ash, Saiki, Mai, and Beni.

i put liz on my team recently too. my point character is andy. there are plenty of good point characters to choose from. im not sure to who suggest. maybe king or andy?

a good battery will help but it doesnt make much difference if any without good meter management. andy is a great battery and i used to have that problem with my 2nd always coming out with nothing. i would blow way too much stocks on EX dp and EX fb and spend my drive when im about to get KOed. 2nd comes out with nothing, opponent heals up from the drive that was just spent.

that said, i think liz does very well in that crappy situation compared to other characters. she does good damage with little meter and builds it back up quickly too.

[Tyrant292]

I'll add to the top list. Hwa builds meter fast but it's better if you spend it with him; Andy, King, Kim, Billy, Dou Lon, Kensou.

Guys what do you prefer the current grab of the game or a command for the grab like in XII? Personally I'd prefer the a command button less random in my opinion and makes the game more strategic.

So what do you think guys?
