KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread

[Sogetsu]

Not all moves are the same, and anyway you can download from ANY FAQ on internet the full movelist for characters (even on this page) and it is on command list while playing Console

But about "strategy", it could serve as always because the gameplay for some characters remain the same from years and years, and that is what really helps to learn to play with many of them (but I don't know how good that guide you have is...)

Thanks guys, I think learning a new game + getting back to fighters and sticks after years + various degree of online lag are the mean combo I'm working with. Having fun though, hopefully I'm building a decent list of 3+ players so I can play and learn more at ease.

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.

Yeah been checking a bit Takuma, he has pretty impressive advanced stuff but he still feels fairly accessible. Everytime I land a D Shippukyaku i do a Zanretsuken on reflex, lol.

On the more vane side of things, I have found a bug in the colors. Basically I had a 3rd line of colors on 4 characters I have been using online, but now they disappeared on 3, and the other character has all of them unlocked. Is this a known thing? It looks pretty blatant.

Its been mentioned numerous times on the Atlus forums. Its why I havent bothered to unlock any colors yet, and im hanging to customize my team too
Hopefully SNKP addresses this with the patch.

I dont think so

sometimes, a row of colors show up for characters that haven't unlocked them yet, if you've unlocked them for some other characters--it is kind of a bug, but not necessarily one that signifies you losing colors but rather accidentally revealing colors that you have yet to unlock for other characters

as far as i can tell, if you view a character's color sets that have been unlocked, and then switch to another character who doesn't have as many rows unlocked, it mistakenly reveals those rows of colors for that latter character because it fails to properly refresh certain flag values in its code

Is this on PS3? I think this problem is exclusively on PS3, havent seen any reports of this happening on Bawx.

If this is happening to anyone on X360, plz let me know!!

Guh I wanted to play online yesterday, tried for about 15 minutes and could barely find 2 matches to play... all rooms were empty, 1 or 2 people in expert, zero in novice. I had the search criteria on ANY at all the options..

[ZeroSoulreaver]

Finally got down Duo Lon after some heavy practice. He's such beast mode, dangerous character to fight against. Also close to getting down Leona and Mature's HD combos.

I haven't touched online in a week or so, still training up hardcore.

[Mature]

Ive been fighting ALOT of people today but i might suggest to use WIREd connection. wireless leads to mega lag and cuts of frame rate. Wireless is a massive fail.

Flame Iori is out today on the Xbox Live Marketplace in the US and EU.

[Bugle/Hawk'M]

As much as I hate on disk DLC, SNK seems to need the money these days. It is annoying to see that the "unlock Billy and Saiki" download is the exact same file size (108 kb) as the Iori DLC. Fuckin' downloadable dip switches. At least the character looks nice and plays well.

[MDog]

Anyone know when it'll be out on PSN?

[SonicTempest]

It's out today on PSN in the US - should be out tomorrow (December 7th) in the EU.

[ZeroSoulreaver]

Got ex Iori last night, he's so much fun. I have been having such a nostalgia trip using him . Not a fan of claw Iori so this is the DLC I have been waiting for.
