King of Fighters XIII(now with Mai)

[Insanecyclone]

I was slightly excited for 12 when it came out but after renting it and experiencing that horrible netcode(as usual) it died for me there. HOPEFULLY it will be fixed with this but who am I kidding? Right?

The King of Fighters XIII's roster will feature all the characters who appeared in The King of Fighters XII, including the two console-exclusive characters (Elisabeth Branctorche and Mature). In addition, at the Akihabara event, three new characters were announced in the form of The King of Fighters '94 Women's Team.

* Mai Shiranui
* King
* Yuri Sakazaki

[Lucavi]

Make a new Samurai Spirits please.

[shidobu]

didnt even bother playing XII. Was to busy playing SF4. I will try to rent this one atleast. But i wont buy it =\ SF gots a hold on me

[Milks]

Make a new Samurai Spirits please.

Samurai Spirits Sen gets a NA release on Xbox 360 on the 30th, if I remember correctly. 3D Samurai Spirits ala Soul Calibur, so probably not what you're looking for, though.

[Lucavi]

No, not what I'm looking for at all. I want Samurai Showdown, or a new Last Blade. Slowly watching Hibiki become corrupted over the course of the game was awesome.

[Ker]

you failed to post best part of whole conference

This Holiday Season The King Of Fighters XIII Reigns On PS3 And Xbox 360

SNK Playmore has a home version of The King of Fighters XIII ready and the company publishing the title in North America may surprise you. No, it’s not Ignition. It’s Atlus! The King of Fighters XIII adds fan favorite characters like Yuri, King, Kula, K’, and Mai back to the ring. All of fighters, new and old, have NEOMAX supers and rebalanced move lists.



When The King of Fighters XII came to consoles the game had issues. SNK assures fans they addressed problems from the previous title. The King of Fighters XIII is faster, has more than six different play modes, and characters that better stand out from the game’s vibrant backgrounds. Most pressing are online issues and SNK claims The King of Fighters XIII is vastly improved, thanks to community feedback.



"We view KOF XIII as an oppertunity to deliver a high definition KOF game that meets and exceeds fan expectations. We have worked very hard to listen to all of their concerns and suggestions, to incorporate all of their feedback and ideas, Ryo Mizufune, President of SNK Playmore said. "We are excited to work with Atlus to bring The King of Fighters XIII to North America."



Atlus has The King of Fighters XIII slated for a holiday season release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

'Vastly Improved', eh? It better be. The Online from the previous one was a joke because of the netcode.

Not to mention lack of characters, story, and challenges.

XII was only around 800+MB in size and I paid a full $60 for it. SSF4 is 14Gigs.

But thats how most Japanese fighting games are running these days, release new version with half content for the seed money and then release sequel with stuff that should have already been in.

"lives up to expectations"

Someone contact Atlus and tell them this is not how you hype games.

BALANCE!!!

Balance? In XIII? lmao

The game ultimately boils down to who can connect the first drop kick with Raiden lol.

This is exactly what I was thinking, I've only seen a handful of XIII matches but holy shit that dropkick does like 40% of a characters life. What the fuck were they even thinking?

[Lucavi]

DYAAAH >> SHI >> DYAAAH >> SHI >> BOMBAHHHHH~!!!! That's about how every one of his fights goes.

I thought it was who can land the first jab then link to drop kick cause I swear, from all the vids I've seen, it's jab > drop kick > 90% health.

[Lucavi]

Nice to see they didn't nerf Raiden at all. Two dropkicks with jab links and an EX shoulder still equals roughly 90%. If you don't kill him before the first dropkick finishes charging, its over.

[Insanecyclone]

Billy Kaine was announced for the console version a week or so ago. Started playing the above arcade version and it feels good. Raiden doesn't seem like he'll ever be nerfed properly. Kyo, Mai, Terry, oh yeah.

Def will buy this on ps3 when it comes out in October.

Maxima feels like Tager, slow but powerful.

I checked it out, it's pretty good but there are some transitional pains like going from ST to 3S. And I don't like how they reverted Kyo, Terry, etc to their old school style. I just can't live without Kyo's rekkas or Terry's power dunk.

[SwinglineStapler]

Not specifically KOF XIII related, but this seems like the best place to ask:

Has anyone heard any news on KoF Maximum Impact 3? Game FAQs has it as cancelled but I haven't been able to find anything on it one way or the other.

I loved KoF: MI2 (2006 in the US) and much prefer 3d to 2d.
