King of Fighters XIII is the last entry in the "Ash Saga". While it resembles XII graphically, all of XII's new systems (clash, critical counter, guard attack) have been removed. The developers stated that their concept for the game was "KOF-ism," so many classic KOF systems return, such as guard cancel rolls and guard cancel attacks. Hyperdrive mode is modeled on 2002's BC mode, while Max Cancels resemble XI's Dream Cancels. Finally, new to the series are EX moves (more powerful special moves costing one bar) and Drive Cancels (canceling from one special to another).


Atlus published King of Fighters XIII in North America on November 22, 2011. An updated re-release featuring rollback netcode called '''The King of Fighters XIII Global Match''' was released worldwide on November 16, 2023.


==Introduction==
==Characters==
The King of Fighters XIII (KOF XIII) is the thirteenth installment in the KOF series. Picking up where XI left off XIII brings the Ash Crimson saga to a close. Graphics-wise it retains the same new crisp next-gen look as XII except over-hauled with 11 brand new stages, a further zoomed out camera, brand new music theme's, artwork, and meters. The arcade roster contains 31 playable characters (not including the two boss character). Gameplay-wise is where XIII really shines, although it drops the subsystems from XII it returns to the standard from traditional KOF games (e.g Multi-Meter system, multiple levels of jmuping, One button throws, GC/GC Rolls, etc). New gameplay aspects include a cancel system that's very close to the one from KOF 2002/UM and XI. Super canceling returns along with newer sub-systems such as Drive Canceling, Hyper Drive Canceling, and Max Canceling. EX attacks are also one of the highlights of XIII as they are completely new to the KOF series. Despite it's some what lacking roster compared to other KOF games it has returning favorite characters like K', Mai, Kula, and completely new entrants to the series such as Hwa Jai. Compared to XII everyone reverted to their original movesets from pre XII KOF games, some receiving more EX attacks/DM's as they may have been lacking in comparison to other characters. With the focus being "KOF-ism" the main goal of XIII is to re-new the interest of old KOF fans/players, and possibly attract some new fans/players to the series as well.
