KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread

[ZeroSoulreaver]

Haven't had much time to play lately. Got a lot going on before Christmas break.

I like rekka Kyo better of course.

I'm starting to like XIII Kyo, but I find his pressure game to be weak, I have no choice but to end blockstrings with a fireball.

Looking forward to being cheesey with chain Kyo.

[Gunsmith]

oh no no no, don't throw that fireball. Just jump and attack again!

[Foxhole]

It's not like I end up doing a block string all the time, but when I do I throw a fireball, anti airs are a lot better in this game than in prior KOFs, and I'm finding the air to ground hitstun to be too hit or miss when it's laggy.

It does take some getting used to, but pulling off great offense or defense is a treat. Every time I play, I find new ways to play every character.
Although I haven't tried every interchangeable team just yet. There are so many options to mix it up.

Nests Kyo is awesome

I found this on CyberFanatix, but I am confused on whether or not this is real, or fake...



EX Vice and Oswald's names are in the second part of the video. Also... English dub DLC? (Judging from K's hit grunt and Saiki's "Unacceptable")

[Foxhole]

It would seem silly to fake something like that, but I'm curious. Plus there were teaser images for Oswald, Momoko, and Chang a long time ago.

It's very subtle but the 'EX Vice' and 'Oswald' badges are in a different font/colour than the other ones. Fake.

Way to crush my dreams ST, way to crush them good.

You know, after reading pretty much all official content and articles and blog entries about the game, I don't remember hearing even once something like "we'll add more DLC in time if we receive positive response" or something on those lines. I felt the strong deception then, and when the actual DLC was actually found on disk that pretty much set in stone that feeling that the game is already finalized.

Speaking of "news", if we check media create we can see that KoF XIII dropped out of the top 10. In fact they dropped out of the top 50. In the previous media create measuring KoF XIII ranked 10th outselling tekken hybrid (which was ranked something like 20) and uMvC3 (which didn't even made it to the top 50).

If we check numbers we actually see that the entry level to the top 50 was pretty low this week, so it might be a hint that KoF XIII didn't even managed to sell 10k of units in it's second week. Don't quote me on that, though

Hey, I want Oswald in the game too :(

[SonicTempest]

We shouldn't put too much stock in mainstream gaming media nonsense, but Gamespot has named KOFXIII it's fighting game of the year, so that's sort of nice.

Some details on that online patch:
http://atlus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9865" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

According to ATLUS and developer SNK PLAYMORE, the patch will seek to make the game's network infrastructure more consistent for users, ensuring that the evaluation given connections is more accurate to the actual play experience. Moreover, the patch will introduce ranked host-side filtering, eliminating the frustration of match hosts unable to avoid matches with players with poor connections. In addition to a number of other improvements, the update will also address a number of rare glitches reported since the game's release. No release date currently exists for the update, but ATLUS reports that the developer is making every effort to release the patch as soon as possible.

What that sounds like to me is that they're going to adjust how pings are calculated and add latency filtering options, but not actually change the underlying implementation. Unless they're intentionally being vague about it.

Also, EX Kyo delayed to 10th January on PSN in America as well. Boo.
