KOF XII

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> KOF94 to KOF97 had no training mode u had to ensure to learn the game u had to link mates or rivals in arcades in order to get better.

Then KOf98 did have a training mode but most advanced combos u could not do in practice room, Kim is an example most of his stuff u can't do u have to do on a human opponent so there is some style of solid training behind it.

now today its simple for people they can rest up behind a pc and just view bs on you tube and copy other people not really learning nothing are they.

Peace.

The realest shit i heard so far. I feel the same way. This was the same shit i said about BB. Bullshit 2-D fighting games trying to incorperate 3-D situations......GARBAGE.

 

You won't get constantly tapped if you use the moves your character has that takes them off the ground to poke. This is text book KOF here. example would be something like Kyo's far D, Beni's f+D, Ash's b+B or b+D. Not to mention the conventional way everyone can deal with that by doing a neutral hopping attack that has a downward arch. Plus tapping isn't as potent with how smooth you have to be to get normal throws off, you get tapped going for throws auto pilot or if you roll alot.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging your knowledge of kof, but this game right here is pure kof essentials.

You probably already seen this, but to those that havent check out Dandy J's kof tutorial videos:

Kof12 relies on that in it's most purest form. Atleast this is how the game is right now, and there's no bullshit gimmicks coating it this time.

 

Me, Slide, Jojoseph and Cozby, had a blast playing KOF12 at Rodney's Saturday. Clark's step move is awesome! We keep mixing it up constantly, with team setups, KOF basics and what not. We had alot of oh shit moments, especially Slide vs Cozby, you guys are clowns, lol. Cozby, and his random supers, lol.

 

We all missed when shag started playing. I watched him start, fell alseep, then he gets crazy nice overnight XD

I think I'm gonna use kensou, and iori, and possibly kim as a 3rd but I'm undecided on him.

 

You shouldve stuck around longer, cause me and Shag started solidifying the game more and took the level up like 10 notches.

 

I been seen that vid slide and i urge everybody to look thru it.

As far as pure KOF essentials go yes its still there albiet sprinkled with a little bit of gay sauce.

 

Damn man, I still don't understand why you dont like this one as much as the other ones. This time there's less bullshit and gimmicks covering the game up. The biggest problem is that the game's presentation itself doesn't have much options and the menus look plain adn there's not enough stages. The game itself feels incomplete but the gameplay is good shit. The danger happens in the gameplay when you get counter hit(attacking when you shouldn't), and unlike the other kof games, getting hit with low B =/= dead.

 

THE GAME IZ THE WORST KINGS EVER...............DAM U SNK U GO PULL A CAPCOM ON ME

 

yeah game seems pretty solid to me, apart from what you just said

 

Slide...Shit is weak is all im saying.I could go on fovever about his game.I guess i'll just have to prove my point online with you guys. Not the best Kings by far '98 the '02 easily.

 

I'm waiting till the online gets patched, and if people say it's good online ill get it. So far all I heard was that it sucks a big one online.

 

So does 98 and Motw. They should update the netcode on those games while they are at it.

 

02 in my personal opinion is the best in the series, but I do really like XII alot.

I'm feelin Shen, currently.

 

I got the patch today and it still needs tweaking. I am yet to fight an opponent with a good connection. All I've seen so far is red bars or no bars. Very few yellow bars and no blue bars.

I think a few options should be added to the online. The host should be given the power to remove someone from a room that he has created because some people enter rooms just to slow them down. They totally disregard the speed of the other opponent. Also, during the custom search, there should be an indication of the speed of a room prior to entering that room. I think this would really make the online better.

 

Game is fking fun so far. I hope the online play becomes good after it's been patched up and all but I'm not holding my breath.

 

Supposedly that ps3 patch was just some add-ons and stuff to make adding the online update possible... I think.

Either way the online connect needs improving and fast.

 

I dunno about the ps3 version, but the AI on the xbox version is rediculously terrible, even on Hard. It's one of those milk-out-of-your-nose experiences playing Arcade mode for the first time. Maybe SNK doesn't want us to be good at the game? The only mode worth my time is Training, until I can find some good people to play.

 

Again man the CPU in 2d games is just stupid to even bother playing. Don't use VF's quest mode(the pinnacle) or T5DR's ghost mode, as a basis for comparison either, if you were. 2d fighters are known for lame AI or cheap cheesy and psychic AI.

 

Im saying though man, IN KOF98UM, the AI is on point, even MOTW as well. Why is this AI so drugged out?

 

I dont think AI in a 2d fighter has ever been any good, ever.

That's why I came in so skeptical of quest mode for VF and DR's ghost mode, cause I though that shit would suck too, even though that's 3d.
