wow crazy hype match here. Didn't know thats what happens when anchors dbl ko. Been learning some Yuri and Dou Lon and watching a bit of NCR and MLG vods. Holy shit Yuri has some crazy tools. So many wakeup options to be respected, divekicks can crossup, demonflip shenanigans crazy good command grab, airthrow, DP, crazy good damage, decent normals/FB etc. Didn't realize she was like this.

I think KOF is at a point where we want people who understand the game on the mic. There are lots of subtle things going on that no one in NorCal sees. They also don't know any characters besides their own 3 or 4 and even the majority of NorCal can't tell you about their own characters. Well now that I think about it, hypemen might actually be better for the game overall right now cause the community is small. Forget everything I just said.

Edit: Oh and when I get home I can write some Yuri shit. I started playing this game again.

Hype > technical knowledge, ezpz right now. Hellpockets + Steve is better than The Answer was at MLG, despite The Answer definitely knowing/understanding a ton more about the game.

Finding some crazy stuff the more I tinker with the game. For example, with Iori, if you get a command grab that puts them into the corner and followup with the standard meterless combo after it ( dp + c, qcb b, qcb a, dp + a), and then jump at them as they wakeup, you'll cross them up even though they're cornered, but not in a way that j.c will hit, and to get the taco to come out you have to input it as though you didn't crossup. Not sure why it happens, but similar things can happen with CD/j.CD in the corner.

Also starting to think it's worth it to sacrifice some damage in favor of resets as Kyo. Things like upkicks, hyper hop j.d, walk forward, normal jump, down + c. Depending on how far you walk, it can do all kinds of wonky things, including at one point it crossed someone up, turned their sprite around, but had me land on the original side and combo them from behind lol.

Also, I dropped Shen for Benimaru and I only wish I had done it from day 1. Beni is crazy good, just need to learn a corner carry HD combo at this point. His j.D randomly beats or trades with a bunch of anti airs, including I think all of King's.

I guess but I just wish the "hypemen" at least knew about the gamee so we can give the stream monsters some accurate info instead of shit like Iori cl.C f+A is a link like I heard on the NCR stream.

The first "The Runback" for KoF XIII and Marvel will be starting in about 10 minutes! It will be every Thursday at 9:00PST iirc.

KoF XIII will be up first on the stream tonight, so don't miss it!

I hope they actually showcase KoF often and not just marvel all the time.

np. i found a couple more things yesterday too

Skye aka Justius (Singapore) Interview after MLG. http://www.mmcafe.com/kof13-skye-interview.html

I didn't even realized that he got DQ'ed into Losers. He played that epic match vs Mr. KoF who ended up placing second, so I wonder how far he really could have gone without that unfortunate DQ. Despite that his attitude seems really positive about the whole ordeal, I would have been pretty upset if they DQ'ed me like that in a tournament with less than 30 people in it AND I came all the way from Singapore.

Also, KoF XIII was featured during the Mix Up Night #01 last week in Osaka. It was a KoF / AE 2012 event, hence the name, and hopefully it will be the first of many to come! I have only watched a few matches so far, but the playstyle seems quite different compared to the North American players. Tournament matches start at like 37 minutes iirc. http://www.twitch.tv/mixupnight/b/313471602

and if you like AE2012, go watch the matches with KojiKOG. amazing play with T.Hawk haha. my favorite match was

^ Just found some time to watch the KOF matches. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of Goro being used. Didn't think he was that popular of a character. Not enough Goro Daimon matches for me to learn from.

Was considering recently of dropping either ex iori or goro for yuri. But I really wanna make goro work for me (he's easily been the character i need the most work with on my main team).

Seriously stick to your guns if you've got a character you like, I dropped Leona because everyone was saying "she's so bad, she's low tier". Then I see people like Reynald and other high-level players running her like nothings different. The concept of a character being "weak" or unpopular is way different from other fighters they're still very viable it seems.

yeah i agree with the idea of not having strict tiers, even if it appears that certain characters are strong or get a lot of tournament usage. it seems that it just comes down to personal preference and comfortability at the moment. maybe that will change as time goes on and players get better and better though.

found this video on srk earlier too. i had seen some of these combos before, but a few of them really impressed me, especially the last one featuring ash's thermidor thermidor sans-culotte thermidor germinal obviously. some of the color edits are hilarious too if you can get the references :D

well it was the return of BALA tonight. first time at TRB and he takes it down. congrats to him and nice showing from Reynald and Mr. KoF like usual, 2nd and 3rd respectively. the stream ran a little long tonight, but i was glad that KoF got that much airtime nonetheless.
