Video with the new stages. That Raiden

[hadoolket]

i've actually already had a chance to play on those new stages, since they show up randomly when playing online

[ghabstopr]

I'm guessing everyone is mostly playing this on XLive. Most of the times when I have gotten on around 9pm you would swear that only 3 other people on PSN seem to own this game...

[Toxic Avanger]

This totally passed me by.

Ichiki day 1 game coverage, as usual he sucks pretty badly; yet still cleared Kyo's trials much faster than I did

Whatever this is, they are not on disc, people have already extracted all the sprites(including the unreleased DLC chars) and there wasn't anything of the likes.

This was posted at MMCafe a while ago, and the consensus was that they refer to the scripts that load the dialogue/artwork for story scenes and not to any new characters.

I have been trying to learn Duo Lon but I feel like I don't have the dexterity yet. His first trial annoys the crap out of me because I don't like most trials that have low mash light attack into combo. That's not how I play this game maybe I should play like that. Besides, I use Mature and learning more rekkas just doesn't feel right.

I made a vid of me practicing with Leona. Man I suck, but hey it's worth sucking now so I can be good later.

Why am i so awful at everything

what's the easiest character in term of execution? To get better acquainted with the game more than anything, without getting pummelled too much in the meantime.

@Fuu

I think you should use the characters you like and practice basic combos with them, as well knowing the best normal moves or special moves to counter your enemy's attempts of moving and hitting you

Anyway, if you really want to use characters "easier" to learn how to play, I think they are the ones who doesn't have important combos to achieve damage, and can push every time while keep distance

Some characters like those could be Athena, Ryo, with short normal combos, projectiles and dragon-punches, but honestly I don't like to play like that
What characters do you use? Maybe I can give you some list of easy combos or help you on your gameplay using them =$

[ZeroSoulreaver]

I don't think any character is "easy". You just have to grind the combos until you get it. After you do it enough they become second nature.

Only character I can say who might be good to start with is Maxima. Though I haven't tried him much, I only say this because he is so slow. Also maybe try out Terry, he's pretty basic.

Basically, one can mainly approach the game in two ways, "try out the game" as in, not being 300% serious about it and the other one is "optimization" which aims for skill. Even if you separate the game into those "two factions", advise still changes as in you have characters that you want to play "to learn" and then you could change them, or have characters on which you have to stick out for good.

If you have like, zero intention of keeping the character you could basically try anyone, but my advise about getting used to be basics of the basics is Mai and Mature. Perhaps Benimaru as well. Unlike other simple characters like Robert, Terry and others already mentioned, that group pretty much has no situational damage and has no steep execution skills for their average damage (roughly 50%).

If you want to pic up a character that is going to teach you and mold you into the more intricate side of the game, but still is not that hard to pic up, you might want to pic up Duo Lon, Andy or Takuma.


OT :

Dear dairy, today I discovered that the game's ranking system is just carelessly programmed; for example if I beat a record in time attack and I'm not connected online, then the score will not be updated to the leader boards by the time I sign in. That also means that if I played once offline and I did a record, and then want to upload it to the net I have to plug in the console and do a better record, rewrite it so that the update gets to the leader board.

Now, the thing is that I have a bunch of records in my HDD that easily surpass the tops of the leader boards as of now, and rewriting everything with the console plugged in would be a major pain, And in some cases even impossible; as my "top ten" is a little under the 2m mark and with some characters is virtually impossible to achieve that.

Good that I don't give a damn about highscores and the like, otherwise I would have gone totally insane by now, and not insane as my usual sense

Ok I have a sorta dumb question my wife went out and found ( for a dollar) the KOF 12 strategy guide she ddint relize that I got kof 13. Now would I be able to use that guyfor learning moves at all or should I just not even bother with the guide or tactics. For fighting games I ussually take time to learn all the moves and the tactics a guide has for a couple of characters I can just look down and do the button combos. What do you all think ???
