King Of Fighters XIII

Haha Cody I think we read the same websites.

BUT heres the Tougeki/SBO semi final, where a Raiden player gets through to the finals. (Although this wasnt 100% because of his Raiden)

Cant find a vid of the finals unfortunately, but there was definitely a Raiden user IN the finals.

[cha]

You're probably right cause I only read it once from somewhere I can't even remember, but its still good at least its not 4/4 in the semifinal and the winner isn't a Raiden player......... lol

OTOH, you can notice there are a lot more K's

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Yea. There are HEAPS of K's.

[zos'la]

because we love K's special... gota love those shades of his

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

You dont really. Its pretty easy to pick up kofxiii. The only person thats awesome at it atm is cody. Hue was beating people on his first day just doing SF4 shit.

[Lennysaurus]

Yah this game seems hella easy compared to the other ones it feels like.

I beat some dude that I recognise that used to play down at yiffans on 98 etc.

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Holy shit.

Ok, so as youre all probably aware, japanese arcades have already had a patch for kofxiii, removing the glitches and various infinites. But i also just read that after the patch, Raidens uber level 4 drop kick (there are 4 levels of charge. the longer you charge, the better it is, like a TAP) needs to be charged for 25 seconds. TWENTY FIVE SECONDS.

Luckily for us at Yifans, we dont have this patch. And im not sure how long you need to charge for a level 4 dropkick currently.

The level 3 and 4 are the cool ones.

Level 3 is 12 seconds and level 4 is 16 seconds iirc.

Fucking hell. Thats a pretty massive change then. I find it awkward enough trying to play him as is. Although luckily the random burst of 50%+ damage that he gets off of EVERY JUGGLE kind of makes up for it.

[Lennysaurus]

Anywho, after a few games today I have decided that my team (which is very different from the one I was originally going to play) will be Takuma, Raiden, and Mature.

Takmua just seemed solid and easy for me to play.  I really enjoyed zoning and being annoying with him.  I managed to get one pretty sweet combo with him that I was stoked with.

Raiden... well it's Raiden   Only managed to get the double dropkick once, and it's actually nott as OP as I originally thought.  To use it you are basically cutting off your roll, counter roll, counter attack, and HD cancel whatsamahijit for like a fifth of the round.  Although hitting one of them is so fucking awesome lol.

Mature is just nice and easy to play.  Has a sweet rekka style gameplay, and was pretty similar to what I remember of her in KOF2k2.  Was doing jump feirce, standing feirce, rekk x3, cancel into super for pretty sweet damage.

One thing I have to get used to is how different the footsies are in this, well pretty much they almost don't exist lol.  Also, meter management seem really interesting in this game given the shitload of different ways you can use it.

So far I'd have to say I really enjoyed it, and at only $1-00 per game its not that bad of a sting to the pocket imo.

Practice mode is now available when you "hold Light Punch and press start"
The technician guy at yifans has changed it to 10 minutes instead of 5mins (Real time, not game time) so I highly recommend people to take the advantage of this before he's changing it back.....

In practice mode, you can do pretty much everything you need in order to pick up the game. HOWEVER, The real challenge is....... defeating ALL the players who play on the other side before you can go to practice mode... it doesn't make much sense but sadly that's how it work lol.............

@BILL : Raiden did 2 combos and each of them does 80-85% HP, that's not too bad, is it....... & K is god tier because his flame can BBQ all the haters.
@Lenny: footsies still exist in this game. In fact, it's a fundamental element for most fighting games. Just by using Footsies & mind games, we can still win "not so good players" who play the game for ages. And yeah, I love how they have the cancel gauge & super gauge separately, It's a very interesting system and It definitely hold a lot of potential that needs to be unlocked.

BTW, does anyone ACTUALLY feel any delays when you play ?? I've heard a lot of complaint about this so I have already told the technician guy regarding this issue and he said that he's going to switch something around and test the lag out this coming Monday. So If anyone thinks that they can help, please come by and shout him some advices on how the game should be set as I cannot make it due to my exam time. not sure about Cody.

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

For some reason, everyone is complaining about lag except cody. I was complaining about it pretty hard myself. But tbh, the more i play it, the more i think it might just be the speed of the game that nobody is used to. I could just be adjusting to the lag though. Its pretty hard to judge actually.

[[8-----D] Toots]

The delay on moves seemed pretty big but not so big when jumping and stuff which makes me think that its just the game not so much the monitors. It really shouldnt have any more lag than the sf4 setup which is a little laggy but doesnt feel as slow as kofxiii. Putting it on a little CRT cabinet well make it less laggy but I think its better for the game to be on the lcd so that people take notcie and hopefully play it.
