This game is giving me a Virtua Fighter 5:Final Showdown, feel. What I mean by that is, everyone is dope. In the previous KOF games, I jumped around a few, but in this one, I want to play with everyone, lol.

It's giving me the VF5 feel in that, despite having ho-hum presentation, audio, and sound effects, the core game is very fun and exciting to play.

I unfortunately still have the problem I had with XII. Is there there's an overwhelming amount of characters I really dislike, either based on playstyle or character design.
Characters I love and play as:
Terry
Andy
Joe
Kyo
Ryu
Robert
Kim
Mai
K'
Billy Kane
Characters I'm neutral to, but have no real desire to learn:
Vice
Mature
Iori
Goro
Maxima
Hwa Jai
Takuma
Clark
Ralf
Leona
King
Characters I loath and will never play as:
Ash
Duo Lon
Kula
Athena
Yuri
Sie
Choi
Saiki
Elisabeth (sorry Fersis)
Benimaru
This is my fault of course, I just dislike those characters. I'm a Fatal Fury/Garou OG, so you can see that's my preferences lie.
If you could replace any of those characters in the dislike pile, and replace them with missing FF/Garou cast members, I'd be in heaven.

Hate for Yuri, Athena, AND Kensou? That's my whole secondary team! 
So Akira doesn't overwhelm Final Shodown? I've heard some worries about that- I did see on VFDC briefly that there's an arcade balance patch coming out- did that fix it?
Sorry Fersis, but when VF comes out on PSN, all my other fighters are getting put aside for a long time.
Same here, there isn't a single character in the game that I don't like or plan on not using.

Am I the only person having trouble getting discs 1 and 3 of the soundtrack to play on my computer?

It was the bodycheck that had people scare for a minute. But now, is all good. Just go to the video section on VFDC, and see those matches, shit is scary with everyone on that mix-up level. The scariest has to be Jacky, Sarah and Shun(Fuck his 2k) There 50/50 is solid.

I don't hate you!
Just your whack team.
"Yuri: Dad....I'm pregnant." bwahaha
It wasn't the body check, it's the effectiveness of his guard breaks and sidestep mixup. He is still S tier in version A. There will most likely be a version B.

King/Mai/Terry has been my main team since 98. The other team is just for fun, mostly because Kensou is awesome to play.

Saiki: cr.Bx2>qcf+AC, run, far C>qcf+A seems like a pretty good setup. I have to test more stuff to see what can punish that but I'm pretty sure it would generally require to burn meter to do so.
EDIT: Kyo's NeoMax and Kula's EXDM can be blocked, but Kyo's instant EXDM punishes the fireball. Interesting.

This Sie Kensou or overall? He's been drastically changed. I don't like what they did to him.
He's so serious and bland now. Where's my meat bum eating, zipper opened fun Kensou?
Thinking about it XIII is too serious. Where is this guy?
Really
are the only really big omissions in kof XIII for me.
I mean Vice is in but not Blue Mary? Come on.

Have you seen his ending? He may be more serious business in his battle style, but his character is still anything but serious. Well, he tries to be, but he's still the same Kensou

No, but good to know, maybe they'll do a makeover again in XIV, sigh.

No one had a beef with his mixups, is that fucking move right there. At the 1:52 mark. Goodbye life.

I wrote about this already. Instead of doing the DP motion, you do this instead. "F,B,DB,D,DF,F+P-P" If you do it the way they want you, you're going to get a super cancel instead. Super Turbo FTW, yo.

First two online matches of King of Fighters XIII. The worst lag I've ever seen on an online game. 5+ second input delay. Both players had almost perfect connections (9/10 each). Appalling.
Where did you get that kind of figure?
EDIT: oh that's what you call Super Turbo buffering. Yeah that motion is an alternate one for dps in this game lol.

I feel you on the Kensou change. I miss the old form Kensou alot but the new version, I can deal with though. And Blue Mary, my waifu!!!!
Anyhoot, I didn't preorder KoF13 and been playing my brother's copy alot. Is there a chance I will be able to secure a copy of the game with the OST if I didn't preorder????

There is a chance, a local chain in my area just had a bunch of copies with the OST.
But all major places, Best Buy, EB Games, only got a few copies with it, and are sold out now.

Thanks, that helped alot. Anymore shortcuts I should know about?

Ah, my copy is in the city, just waiting for it to be delivered.

It's how snkp coded it. It's the only fighting game on the system that ignores all devices without home button, that includes snk's neogeo sticks, lol.
Even XII didn't have that problem.
Btw.
That's how Atlus forum admin answers kof fans. Heh.
That's got to be a community moderator, right? I can't imagine a paid employee actually being that much of an asshole to fans with a reasonable request. And if it is, well, I've lost a lot of respect for Atlus.

I don't know if Atlus.com forum admins are paid but here it is.
I wouldn't put my faith down in atlus over one douche but still.
Edit: His tag says "site admin".

So is there anyway to unlock the Esaka 96, Mr.Karate Temple, and Iori95's stage for use in any game mode? I've come across karate and iori stages randomly online but I'd like to use them for like my training mode stage or something akin to that. I remember seeing pre-release streams of the game with access to Esaka and such for what looked like versus mode but haven't seen them anywhere else.
I just tried a game against a friend, both of us in the UK with strong internet connections. It was still laggy, but it was playable.
There's a row of green dots, and 8 or 9 of them are lit up on each side.

Oh is this the PS3 version you're talking about? I was under the assumption that both versions used the same kind of icons (ie. 1 to 4 bars).
DiscoShark said:
They're the stages that come with the DLC characters (EX Kyo, Mr. Karate and EX Iori).
Played online with dock for about 20 minutes or so - yikes at the netcode. I hosted about 5 games, and the first was okay for me, with some lag, but playable. But as we fought more matches, it got worse and worse until it was nearly unplayable by the fifth match. Dock hosted a bit after that where the lag was just as bad as we left it, and then is desynchronised and disconnected us as we were waiting for a round to start.
I really do think KOFXIII is a great fighting game, but this netcode is appalling. SF3 was comparably right on the ball most of the time, but XIII's started dodgy and got worse. It's a massive shame.

Do you both have the game installed?
I was really hoping to see netcode comparable to SF3, or maybe Street Fighter 4. This is a shambles. :/
I'm playing the game on PS3.
I have the game installed, yep, but I can't imagine why this would have any influence on netcode.
