Introduction
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.
Notation
Note: Directional movement will always be lower case, distance and jumps will end with a period (.) and buttons will be uppercase.

u = up
uf = up Forward
f = forward
df = down forward
d = down
db = down back
b = back
ub = up back
Buttons
A = weak punch
B = weak kick
C = strong punch
D = strong kick
P = with either punch button
K = with either kick button
AC = with both punch buttons simultaneously
BD = with both kick buttons simultaneously
Attack Motions
qcf = quarter circle forward from down to forward (d, df, f)
qcb = quarter circle from down to back (d, db, b)
b~f = hold back for a brief second then switch to the forward direction
d~u = hold down for a brief second then switch to the up direction
hcf = half circle from back to forward (b, db, d, df, f)
hcb = half circle from forward to back (f, df, d, db, b)
dp = dragon punch or forward, down, down forward (f, d, df)
rdp = reverse dragon punch or back, down, down back (b, d, db)
tk = tiger knee or down, down forward, forward, up forward (d, df, f, uf)
hcb f = half circle from forward to back then press forward (f, df, d, db, b, f)
Character Movement
j. = jumping (u/ub/uf)
sj. = super jump (d then ub/uf)
h. = hop (tap u/ub/uf quickly)
hh. = hyper hop (d, ub/uf, d)
r. = run (tap f,f then hold)
bd. = back dash (tap b,b)
ee. = emergency evasion (b/f + AB). Rolling provides a few frames of invulnerability. forward or just AB makes the character roll forward, back and AB makes the character roll backward.
Other Common Abbreviations

Evasive Roll (backward) = b+AB
Advanced Techniques
Ukemi (recovery after a fall) = press AB when you hit the ground
Guard Cancel Roll (forward) = while blocking, AB or f+AB or df+AB [costs 1 power stock]
Guard Cancel Roll (backward) = while blocking, b+AB [costs 1 power stock]
Guard Cancel Attack = while blocking, CD [costs 1 power stock]
Cancel System
Drive Gauge = A special gauge (located right above the power meter) that allows one special move to be canceled into another
