Gameplay Overview

Once again, Mature strikes back in KOFXIII and has far more tools than she did in the prequel of this game. Mature is an amazing rush down character with very good attack options and a rather lengthy special move set. The player can utilize Mature for any team position and she be played under many conditions as well, because she has the moves to do so. Mature is very combo-friendly and has a nice set of meter-less combos. She also has a nice projectile that covers a lot ground. Mature has arguably the Rekka specials in the game as she can tear the opponent to pieces and produce a lot of chip damage if the opponent tries to guard against her. The main purpose of Mature for building a structured rush down game play. One can easily say that this is a much better iteration of Mature than the one from KOFXII. Mature is a very fun character to play and she sets a good standard on the true concept of rush down.

Pros

• Very nice and lengthy block strings and frame traps

• Good normal moves

• Can produce a lot of chip damage from some of specials (her Rekka Special moves should come to mind).

• Nice corner pressure

• Good damaging ration, especially when using combos into EX Metal Massacre or EX Rekkas.

• Builds meter very quickly

• Her Neo Max counts as an overhead

• A relatively large set of multipurpose special moves

• Heaven's Gate DM has a lot of invincibility start-up

• Damaging HD combos in general

Cons

• Both versions of her projectile take time to execute

• Lacks command moves

• Needs meter for real defensive options

• Gets weak under too much pressure

• Her most damaging HD combos are not particularly easy to perform

• Lacks a true anti-air

• Short term damage output is deceivingly low
