The King of Fighters XIII/Clark Still
Console Changes
- His Stepping (Forward+BD) is faster
- Weak SAB has full-body autoguard but comes out slower than before
- EX SAB>Flying Elbow can be MAX canceled
- EX Gatling Attack’s invincibility runs out when its hit detection comes out. Projectile invincibility doesn’t, even after hit detection comes out.
- If Fierce or EX Gateling gets blocked, the Afterattack throw won’t come out any more
-Vulcan Punch can be canceled with another move on startup. This allows for some new combos like close Fierce punch (2nd hit)>VulcanPunch>SAB
Producer Yamamoto says: "He’s a throw character so we’ve buffed his throws. With moves like his Weak SAB, his front step, and being able to do a super cancel from a 1-frame throw, he should be able to fight like a real thrower."

CD Blowback Pressure
Clark is one of the few characters who can do a jumping CD (Blowback) and then do another CD as he lands if his opponent is blocking. This takes off roughly 25% of their guard meter. What's more is that Clark can cancel a s.CD with his dash (Toward +BD) he could follow that up with B SAB, jump and use C Grab if they jump, or just keep pressure.
B SAB Tick Throws
Clark is the only character in KOF13 that has tick throws due to the autoguard his B Super Argentine Backbreaker (SAB) has. This gives Clark some very scary 50/50 mixups that resemble certain Capcom grapplers. However, the B SAB has flaws and will lose out to a competent opponent if you spam them, but they are a legit tool one should keep in mind and can be used in many situations.
Tick throws setups:
c.B (close), B SAB.
J.A or B. B SAB.
CD (Blowback Attack), Dash cancel (toward + B and D), B SAB.
J.CD or J.A or J.B, Toward A or B (walk a little forward), B SAB (might have to delay by about half a second).
Empty Short Hop into B SAB will beat all low attacks.
