SRK has a really nice strategy guide for the game up now. http://wiki.shoryuken.com/The_King_of_Fighters_XIII

SRK you say?

First official Evo showing for a KOF game confirmed?

 

[Dave Long]

Card charged... shipping today methinks... Amazon.

 

[Samuray]

Glad you enjoyed the character that may or may not be there! Mu Shiki = NBA Jam Fire Mode DM! I'm perfectly fine with this, it's really quite classy.



Nope. First one is Dec 6/7th with Iori. This other stuff is just leaks. They have not even been officially unveiled yet.



Billy is included with the game.

------

Ok, lets clear this all up:

Dec 1st: Japan Release date of game.

Dec 6/7: US release of Iori DLC. Asian buyers already have their codes included with game, so might be playing him already, for those with early copies.

New Console Characters:

Included with game, unlockable by beating arcade:
Billy
Saiki

DLC Characters:
Iori With the Power of Flames
Kyo With the Power of Nest
Mr. Karate With the Power of Badassness

Future DLC Plans?
We don't know yet!

Awesome, thanks.

Is it certain that every DLC character will indeed have a new stage with him? Do we know any of those stages already?

 

[KAOS]

Spent some time with the game over the weekend and I have to say it's everything KOF XII should've been! The jury still out on it's online net code as the four times I played I encountered various degrees of lag. Overall however it's one my favorite KOF games to date!

 

[SAB CA]

Awesome, thanks.

Yup.

Iori WTPOF = Yagami Stage 95
Kyo WTPOR= Esaka 96
MR. KARATE = Art of Fighting 1 stage.

Iori has Arashi No sax 2 Remix I believe for his music, Kyo has Goodbye Esaka from what they said in vids, and I hope Mr. Karate's is his AoF1 SNES remix, lol, but we don't know yet. Each character has 2 themes each, one that plays as their default "XIII" theme, and one that plays as their "side B" soundtrack theme.

The stages are already appearing with online random stage select... wheither this is on purpose, or a goof, is anyones guess, but most of us are just taking it as a teaser for the DLC stuff. Purchase, and they'll actually become part of your selectable offline stage rotation.

haunts with the power of cheetos needs to be a dlc character.

SO BOUGHT

 

[LowParry]

So where do you think most of the community will be on consoles?

 

[Fersis]

Damn the SRK guide is godlike gonna link it in the OP

(Puts our guide to shame haunts)

That looks so nice, they did an excellent job.

So it sucked. Atlus lied to us.

 

[GotchaForce]

That SRK wiki is fantastic, def helps since there is no strategy guide to purchase!

 

[notworksafe]

So it sucked. Atlus lied to us.

If you expected lagless netplay you were bound to be disappointed. Let the game get a full release before jumping the gun and saying it sucks.

I wasn't being serious. Chill.

 

[N4Us]

I don't think you can play as multiples of the "same" character in this one. Our European friends tried and failed with Iori, I believe.

So unlike 2k2UM, you can't be Kyo-1, Kyo-2, Kusanagi / Kyo all in one team -_-;

So it's like EX characters in that game? Like you can't have Chris and Orochi Chris on one team.

 

[Urban Scholar]

1 more day until that pure honest fighting. Is there a PSN chat room yet?

Yes. See OP.

-nod- Yeah, they seem to take the same character spot, and you can't get back to that spot after selecting one.

Is it the same case with Ash/Saiki? My day 1 fanboy team is at stake with your answer.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Ash and Saiki (and Billy) have seperate character select spots.
