Yeah it was a lot of fun. I got some casuals in with a player who has a good Kim. He says he's still learning the game but he's much better than I am. CJ only had to use like Athena once, but his EX Kyo seemed a lot better.
But that voice... I do miss her having a less static super than Shining Crystal Bit though.
DreamCancel's brainstorming some ways to ride the attention XIII got at EVO, might be worth checking out.
Also, this totally had to be the thread I debuted this account with <3

Been playing this a lot recently, I am glad that there are more newbies online in spite of the netcode.

Was this tier list posted yet?

I find it funny how 3 of the best characters in the game are DLC lol.

and none of them were in evo finals.
That's one guy's opinion.
There is no definitive tier list for the game, its well balanced.
Two of them were fairly popular and often-used characters in previous games already, so familiarity and years of established techniques play into that.
Since we are the subject of tier lists, some of the CAFE ID guys made their own as well

Interesting that they aren't very high of Rekka Kyo. And poor Athena ;_;

So it appears KOF XIII may be showing up on PSN (got this bit of info from http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?topic=2491.msg58478#msg58478 via MMCafe)
http://www.psnstores.com/2012/08/sneak-peek-august-7th-psn-releases/
Hopefully its priced competitively, but I guess not to piss off retailers they got to keep this shit up around MSRP despite being able to get the game cheaper elsewhere. If anything hopefully we see a PS+ sale when it launches.
*edit*
Looks like it was confirmed on the PSN podcast earlier
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/08/02/playstation-blogcast-036-the-best-games-of-2012-so-far/
Around the 14:00 mark.

Cool, I guess.
It would be nice if SNKP had some plans at this year's SBO.

If you filter connections to level 3 and above you should be fine, below that it can get messy.

Bumping to complain about invincible command grabs, who the hell thought that was great idea!?

I don't like that noobs and vets alike leave the room after one match, either.

Im currently rolling with Yuri and Clark so ... lol at you XD
And im trying Terry too. Experimenting a little bit with his Far Stand D as a poke. (I believe its plus on block)
Far standing C is what you should be experimenting with, its damn good.
Far standing D is average at best as a poke.
Persona 4? It's been getting a lot of buzz, and picking up both at the same time is tough. So close to getting both, but it might be overkill, since I'm not a huge SNK or Arc player.
Maybe they're testing out a character or team "in the wild" before taking them to Ranked? I know I've done that a few times, I'm more likely to stick in a room if I know the person or got a direct invite.
As for Persona, I guess its buzz is part pre-existing fandom of that series, part Jojo-ish gameplay with tighter balancing, and part Arksys factor for those who liked their other games - I'm yet to see how it does on the long run, as none of those factors clicks with me that much. Beating up people with a chair using Kanji sounds fun, at least.
KOF XIII is the better game, but its online play just pales in comparison. IMO Persona 4 Arena is a "summer game" and is going to fall off once TTT2 hits next month. Seems like a lot of non fighting game playing Persona fans are also buying it and realizing that it's not for them (at least in multiplayer).
If KOF XIII had netcode on par with Capcom's games (or by some miracle, Arc's games) I don't think I'd be playing anything else. But as it stands I am very much an online-only fighting game player and have not touched KOF in months due to so many games with better netcode having been released since last November.
Thanks for the opinion. I'm probably gonna pass on KOF for now and pick up Persona as I don't have local friends to play with. I'm probably getting both 3D fighters in September as well, so yeah probably overkill. Thanks.
I'm so tempted though. I'm pretty much tempted by every 2D fighter. I'm a sucker for good presentation too (if the gameplay is decent). I haven't given Arc games a chance yet. oh well, I don't want to derail this thread.
Yeah and far Standing C is DM cancelable.

If you are up tonight, there will be a KOF tournament in Japan hosted on Nico.

In spite of the post above, I have sinking feeling that we are going to see hilarious amounts of tier whoring but who knows.
Speaking of tier whoring, I am really liking Vice and Flame Iori. Want to run OG Yagami team as a substitute team.

Double post, yet again. But fuck Raiden.
Pointless attempt to stir some discussion, but what teams has everyone settled on, or what teams do you want to use in the future?
Currently I am using Mai/Mature/Liz.
Want to use Yagami team(with Ex Iori) in the future.

I bought the DLC characters yesterday. Out of them I like EX Kyo the most and might put him on point instead of Terry.

So the kof community in my university pretty much consists of me and another guy who I practice with. Now that I'm on co-op again, I expect to be out of practice again, this is rather depressing.

You have a community for other fighters right? Ask them if they are willing to play your game. Take the game to their sessions, show them how to play if they are interested.
Good move. Personally, I like Rekka Kyo the best simply because his HD loops look cool and his neomax is totally boss
solidgear91
Member
His HD loops and Neomax do look awesome, one of the main reasons I might want to put him on my team. Problem is I will probably put him on point, so I will need to try to conserve meter. Tried a very simple HD loop with him and it was pretty easy to do but the damage was poor.
Terareflection

Meter comes by really quick, so I think you can afford to spend one or two bars during the first round, and still have build enough to HD combo the second character.
solidgear91

I was just thinking that I would never really get the chance to do an HD combo on my opponents second character unless I'm much better than them. I also usually try to be a safe and conservative player, so I will be trying to save my meter for my last character.
