When the ppl around here become better and more familiar with more advanced combos I'll record some more. Right now it's pretty much one person that's getting the game down (Jon) while the rest our suffering . When we get up to speed, then we'll have more interesting matches.

which player are you in the videos Kane? what's your normal team etc?

I especially appreciate you putting up videos because it is somewhat hard to come by new KOFXII vids even though it just came out. normally I'd expect a flood of vids but it's not nearly as popular as say...Blazblue

Thanks for the vids, Kane.

Some interesting things I picked up on:
- WTF at Robert's down B hitting a guy who was behind him. What is up with the hitboxes in this game?
- In the Iori vs Iori match in the fourth vid you can see a guard attack activating and then being blocked...so it's not a guaranteed thing (just as PS stated in his initial loketest impressions)
- What was that Iori critical counter where he initiated from a full character length away and the opponent just slumped to the ground? On top of that it looked like he got it from countering the opponent's sweep - I thought CCs only activated when countering a special move? (See http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/ ... tem01.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

That last question is probably best left for the system discussion thread though.

The official site has such horrible engrish I wouldn't recommend taking it literally. It's pretty clear that it's ANY counterhit, other than anti air (only thing I'm not sure about.) I actually left a comment on that video remarking that trading hits with CC doesn't cause any hitstun to the CCing character.

Your point about the guard attacks not guaranteeing a hit after guarding certain moves is interesting though, I'm actually very glad to see that it's like this. Can bait them with "guard attack safe" moves. I bet most cAs and cBs recover fast enough. I guess the safety of the guard attack move will depend on what specials they can do after it on block, and how safe those specials are.

Well the thing is the Japanese version says something like this:
"Use your strong punch or strong kick to counter the opponent's attack! The lever must be in neutral to do this. (If you clash with a close strong punch or kick you will get a sousai/deadlock instead)"

My guess is that when they say 'close strong attack' they're excluding low attacks.

I supposed if you land a CC it just ignores deadlock/sousei completely even if you trade with another move. Meaning in a nutshell: CC system has priority over deadlock system

Some vids on my channel i took on Saturday, video quality isn't that good as it;s all filmed with my phone on low settings to save memory

thanks for the vids. your youtube account name is fitting

I notice you guys do the guard attacks a lot as anti air. That and Shen's uppercut special seems like a decent anti air (guard attack looks the same animation I'm noticing).

yeah, unfortunately i don't have any decent recording equipment so mobile phone will have to do.

Guard attack seems to be pretty good for hard attack anti air, but i've hit people out of it with Kyo's jumping B (Just slightly before it flashes) and forced it to whiff too.
To me the properties of things in this game are still really weird.

Uploaded 8 new vids from some of todays games to my youtube channel.

The player on first player side is probably one of (if not the) best KOF player in the UK.

thanks for the vids. I see you guys like ralf and clark a lot there

I just wanted to ask, is there a reason you guys can't be more aggressive with Leona? She basically only won by time up, if she won at all.

Anyways, here are the next batch, Arcade Infinity 05-09-09:
