The King of Fighters XIII General Discussion Thread

[THE ANSWER]

Good shit! SNKP proly saw my post on this forums after the SBO final when I said "I'm done with this game until they fix it" and they were like "WTF THE ANSWER is going to stop playing the game seriously? we gotta fix it"

Also thanks to DG for giving my message to DUNE (head of the KOF cummunity in Japan) about how Raiden ruins the game and he could say how much this game needs to be fixed in his interviews.

but seriously good news...

LMAO Thats exactly what happened lol

[Diavle]

They should maybe look into Kyo, if K' etc go then he could be the next in line if he isn't tweaked.

He's pretty much a monster when it comes to combos but that's also what makes him so badass in this game so I'm not sure what to suggest.

At least the recovery on his running grab should be increased I think, he's way too safe right now on block.

Also, Takuma's juggles...

[MUSOLINI]

nah diavle that shit is all good. only take out the gamebreaking shit, not what makes it good. lol. also can they even fix the button lag? i think it has to do with these flat screen tv's and not the game or system its played on. flatscreen tv's lag, and led tv's lag even more (i know, ive played ssf4 on composite and then after that on led, huge difference).

though i do hope something can be done about it, im just not sure if its possible with the new tv's and all.

[Shiranui_ninja]

The patch will probably fix bugs, but not sure about fixing unbalanced characters... Don't be too much optimistic...

[Gorehound]

I'm so glad they are going to remove those stupid infinites.

Let's see if they do something about Raiden, maybe only having the ability to combo into just one Dropkick.

I'm all for tweaking K'.

[Zabel]

Jesus Christ K' doesn't need any tweaking at all, he's just really solid.

[venusandeve]

actually, if anything, they should carefully buff characters that are unused; not slow the game down to crap pace.

[Zabel]

Yeah buffing the weaker characters like Joe should be prioritized over nerfing anyone.

I'm just going to wait for you to start talking about how you're up for whoever could end up being the new top tier that you'll be cool with tweaking.

What do you think will happen if K' gets toned down?  They'll just switch to the new top tier.  All of you(actually some) will just start complaining about seeing the new top tier in action too much.

Cycle continues.  Never ends.

[Shiranui_ninja]

It's easier nerf one or two characters that are overpowered than buffer 29 or 30. Nobody is saying that K' should be nerfed to low tier, he can continue being top tier, like Kyo and Kula.

[Zabel]

Thing is K' doesn't need to be nerfed at all, nothing stands out at OP, hes just once again solid & easy to use. And who the hell says you have to buff 29 or so characters? The only ones that really need it are the bottom four really.

[krazykone123]

While I agree that K' is good the way he is they still need to tweak him because

1. There's a bug where he jumps in and if you guard his attack he continues to move forward pretty much bypassing the guard animation/hit-stun and regardless whether you or the opponent gets he hit he's still in your face, which pretty much explains why you see a lot of K user's spamming his j.C/D as soon they have them in the corner

2. He can hit you with his st.C before you recover from a GCR

besides that he's cool

[TYRANNICAL]

People have to remember that there are a lot of things that we don't see get uploaded.  So there could be some really good players with [insert character] that we just haven't seen their potential tapped into.  Vice footage wasn't uploaded for a long time and when she was played and we saw it, she was awesome.

When I first saw people play XIII Duo Lon, it was terrible but recently we've seen some awesome Duo Lon gameplay.
