The King of Fighters XIII: Tutorial Series: Stage 2: Fighting Game Player, Part 1

[lestatv3]

Awesome tutorial! :)

Great explanation!

[nintendomasterjake]

anyone born after 1990 is a clueless idiot. There, I saved everyone's time.

[Xlyfindel]

That Vice w/ Iori's colorway was hot, totally stealing that...

[shik1]

christ this looks very technical...tooo technical...and i thought MvC3 was overtechnical.. probably will put players off....shame. If people spent the time to learn all the new stuff i bet this could be a great great popular game..but with street fighter X tekken and soul calibur around the corner..people are gonna drop this for them...

[Azmodeus87]

@shik1 I will not argue about KOF being technical, because it is. But more so than SC5 and SFxT? Modern fighting games in general is crazy technical, period.

[nur155]

@Azmodeus87 "Modern fighting games in general is crazy technical"

You must not have played any fighting games before.

[Azmodeus87]

@nur155 Oh i have. I have played both the SF2 and Alpha anthologies, 3rd srike, the samurai shodown anthologie, darkstalkers etc. i do not debate that these games were/is very technical in their own right. But as the industry has evolved, alot of the what made these fighters technical is now commonplace, so even further mechanics have been invented. Thus, the is a lot of mechanics in current fighters even by previous fighters standard.

[nur155]

@Azmodeus87 Mind giving me some examples of how modern fighters have become "more technical"? I, too, could list how many fighting games I've played, it still doesn't make my opinion hold more weight.

Sub-systems in fighters only add artificial depth, doesn't make them "technical." SNKP did an amazing job with XIII and set the bar on how modern fighting games SHOULD be made.

[Azmodeus87]

@nur155 Fair enough. One example would be the recent surge in comeback mechanics. Before, someone who dominated a match could generaly count himself as a winner when the opponent reached 25% health or less. Now he needs to be on his toes unless he want´s to suffer a defeat by a juiced up opponent making a comeback. Another would be the increase in "super modes", which previously was one or 2 characters in any given game. Now any fighter tking it´s cues from GG has it across the roster.

[AirLancer]

@shik1 "and i thought MvC3 was overtechnical.."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KrsJin]

I kind of doubted how good this series might be but man, this vid is amazing for new players. I like how Chen was feinting ignorance for the sake of the viewer and asking what was what while Kane breaks it down. Great stuff guys.

[bruceleeroy]

@KrsJin exactly right. KOF players only seem to play their own game and never explain anything from the ground up and use only KOF specific terminology. Good stuff from Chen in bridging the gap.

[DreamChasersInc]

Needs more Vanessa. Them young girls could learn a thing or two from a woman like her

[drean12]

*thinks about taking this game seriously*

[VirtuaFighter5R]

love KOF and XIII is PURE FANSERVICE!!

THANK YOU SNKP/ATLUS

[thismightbeyou]

Wow! Very informative!

Now if only I can actually understand pull off this shit...

[SithLordRagnos]

I'd love to see James Chen play this game. I have a sneaking suspicion he'd pick Mai, and the more people picking the Bouncy One, the better!

[PokoWorks]

Where the fuck is part II, boys?

[pjomayo]

@PokoWorks Instead of posting a rude comment,ask them nicely maybe?

Christ..

awesome love, old school 2d, not 2.5 d

[akaimizu1]

Thanks again Atlus for releasing this game. The game is a stellar piece of work and a great return for KOF. Love how so much commitment is done to bring new people into KOF, and yet the game also really does a nice job to promote the lore and character relationships, for those who already know the story-arc since 94/95. Great refined gameplay and fan service of the story kind, make this release a winner.

[RisenCrescentpheonix]

MK may have won in the VGA but KOF won Best Fighting game for Gamespot and for good reasons.

[MrSalmon88]

Atlus is doing a great job promoting this game. They are really showing why this game series deserves the title King of Fighters.

[Darkdestroy]

I have no idea what they are talking about.

[Kingofprinces85]

Atlus is probably really worried this game won't sell. Their marketing campaign for this game is the most aggressive ive seen from them.

[dragonfighter02]

This is why i love this series, balance in the health department.

[chipp06]

really helpful. thanks atlus

[GOODMOOD11]

SORY KOF this generation only for 3D GAMEa and also HD

I played KOF maximum imbact 2 on PS2 and I loved

we want GAME like that and we dont want game for Nintendo

please Like

[darkTown2100]

@GOODMOOD11 you are really naive. kof 13 is HD; every character has a hd sprite. the maximum impact series were nowhere near as good as the main kof series. snk should be focusing on what gets more sales and main kof has always sold better. you should try tekken if you like fighters like kof mi it doesn't have many special moves but you'd probably like it. btw your post is wrong even sf4 isn't 3d and people still like it better than SC, tekken, VF ect.

[DiegoRC4]

@GOODMOOD11 3D games are shit for me. Nothing like old school 2D fighting games!

[Kingofprinces85]

@DiegoRC4 I like both.

[MrSalmon88]

@GOODMOOD11 lol yea sry i agree with everyone else, no KOF fans want a 3d game. This game looks amazing i am so glad they did the cel shaded graphics instead of the digital look marvel vs capcom and street fighter went for.

[OfficialOffice]

GJ James Chen and i know you're trying to make this a big game for the fighting game community but i doubt i will big as MVC or SF4.

Only game thats going to keep the community from dying out again is SFvT.

[Terareflection]

@OfficialOffice

Of course it won't be as big. Do you honestly think it is dying out though, it seems to gaining more headway to me.

[G0dspeed2000]

I love how cool they are about mentioning other fighting games like SFIV.

[Darut1337]

I really want to see more. Good stuff, guys.

JAMES CHEN! : )

[Lataxx]

Really cool info for pepole starting in the KOF series, well done Atlus

[breaktube]

[EdTheFullMetal]

[loshgoobi]

[trueninjatactics]

[Zentaisei]

Quite informative. Good stuff.

[xOniProductions]

a balanced game this is how all fighting games should be

[Synnerster]

The kof 13 got 2nd place on the best fighting game of the year

[OmegaMetroid93]

@Synnerster: Where? And which game got first?

[Synnerster]

@OmegaMetroid93 u kidding right spike tv games awards n mortal kombat got first

[OmegaMetroid93]

@Synnerster: Ah, SpikeTV... I don't watch that. So for all I know, it could just've been something else.

I honestly like this better than MK...

[Synnerster]

@OmegaMetroid93 me too i been a kof fan since i was 7 am now 18
