A load of videos from France and Japan and a UK scene announcement. Watch RF from Japan battle the best of the French, including Frionel, Tom Sawyer and Salim.  I recommend turning down the volume of Tom Sawyer and Rickyo’s analysis and just listening to the original commentary (by Ken Bogard), not that you can [...]

As posted by Toxic Avanger in the forums: Satan-sama has- erm; I mean, I did a small collection of Shimai battles for everyone to enjoy. The girls (tentative(?)) pretty much specialize in playing characters that they like and thus it ends up that we see things that characters that competitive players naturally won’t choose since [...]

So here are all the videos (bar finals between Gunsmith and Giga D), with commentary and conversations with some of the new players, where we talk about the scene and how to get to grips with KOF.  If you’re one of those players and want to know more about getting into KOF, you should go [...]

Thx to the Master for this: if your jaw doesn’t drop, you simply don’t understand what you are seeing. The manly man sideburns might-as-well-be-a-Presley fan shows you what he’s really capable of in 2002um: “Taken from Nico Nico Douga ガードポイントにはたくさんの夢が詰まっています。 ※１　基本的に『通常技のＧＰで取れて、反撃が可能』というルールでやってますが、一部相手のガードが間に合うものもあります。 ※２　『プロ野球ニュース』及び『今日のホームラン』を知らないと若干意味不明かもしれません。 By the way Maxima is sexy; I’d accidentally a whole Maxima” Obviously there’s [...]

Some of you may have been lucky enough to see the live streaming at NE, but matches will go up soon enough! Giga D Gunsmith Atb_555 So now Giga D is the UC champ and ON champ – the first double federation champ in our history? It was a night of upsets and disputes that [...]

Edit: Featuring Bata, OZ and Cap. Check out these team battles!  A good range of characters and skill levels (it’s very reassuring when you see missed combos and basic safety tactics) including a great Mature, and the first time I’ve seen the Japanese use EX Robert, perhaps after they have seen the Bata vs Salim [...]
