「KOF XIII Technical Reference」 chapter 6 ～怒チーム～ その2

[dabos90]

Rezard, Plant6083. You're both wrong. Clark, Tager, & Potemkin stole the move from Robin Mask. TOWER BRIDGE!!!

[Rezard]

wtf, did clark take a trip at Tager home ?

[SilentStalkerX]

I've been playing a little too much Blazblue lately, but is it me or is Clark's NeoMax very similar to Iron Tager's King of Tager Astral Heat?

[XXNeMo818XX]

Still waiting for this damn game >< wtf is taking so long for it to hit consoles?!

[aredale]

Grapplers are strong in this this time around.

[Plant6083]

Check Potemkin DM from Guilty Gear T__T { wats up SNK!!!

[crossedge]

@Plant6083 Clark's NeoMax is a running grab though. Still, so what if they all look the same? x:

[LeonaRebelSpark]

Whooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaa!! Rebel Spark is back!!! I love u Leona!

[LolShade64]

Holy crap, Clark's Neo Max looks awesome. Great job, SNK!

[Katherynow]

Clark looks good...

[chrisangelo2k7]

The sound effects suck bug time <_<

I enjoyed 98 and 2002's.

[redhyu]

i like ikari team, i've been using them since 98 but i must say i hate leona's new voice acting D: well that's just me i guess..

[evil99019]

how the heck does leona do 2 charge moves almost instantly? So she does the moon slash, which is down charge up punch follow by a EX dash slash back charge forward kick, no way she has enough time to charge both attacks that easily, what's going on?

[houou100]

@evil99019 Charge times are very short in this game.

[redhyu]

@evil99019 i think, you could charge, by holding db (down and back) first then up + punch for the moon slash then just do forward + kick since u buffered back earlier (db) i'm not 100% sure tho..

[evil99019]

@redhyu I am pretty sure you lose charge time if you joystick changes from back to anything else, unless you are saying leona does down back and upback for moon slash and then keep the back motion and then follow by a dash slash?

[redhyu]

@evil99019 nah what i mean is hold db (joystick at 1) then up (joystick at 8) punch for moonslash then do forward (joystick at 6) kick for the 2nd move. my theory is that if since u buffered back in db u dont have to do back anymore for the 2nd move.. a good buffering example would be any1 with a shoryuken motion move and a qcfX2 dm, take kula in 2k2.. after executing an uppercut, just do a qcf + punch to cancel into dm since u buffered the first qcf inside her uppercut..

[redhyu]

@evil99019 again im not 100% sure abt this one tho..since its about charge time and not simple qcf or hcf motions :/

[Schweinsedge]

@redhyu It's actually pretty simple. Just do 1~7 A 7,8 B. It's common knowledge.

[Schweinsedge]

@Schweinsedge I actually ment 7,6.

[chunliwas]

lol, he does a zebra bomber

[Winterfang]

Man leona has perky boobs.

[Lioyd1rving]

@Winterfang I hate it. I liked how she was one of the least sexualized characters in the series, up until XII gave her those like there weren't enough Z-cups already.

[Winterfang]

@Lioyd1rving

LOL I actually like it a lot, Leona was mad boring before, I just don't like how she has such big boobs but they don't move. Either give Leona bounce or Small boobs, she looks unnatural.

[Lioyd1rving]

@Winterfang The outfit is certainly an improvement, but if she's going to take the King route ("LOOK! BOOBS! IS SHE BETTER NOW?"), no thanks.

[ExeErdna]

@Lioyd1rving Her design in XIII is basically an edit one of her extra outfits in the KOF Maximum Impact games just without the braids and the knives. In my opinion it just looked more natural on her then her normal outfit. Plus Leona is one of the most stacked chicks in KOF If I remembered right her bust size is the same or close to Mature's. Also this change also could mean Leona is become more dead serious like her adoptive father.

[Lioyd1rving]

@ExeErdna Leona didn't need torpedoes to look serious back in '96. :s

Also, the SNK wiki says she's actually in the average (KOF average, that is), although seeing how we're talking about a female video game character created by males, her visual design is bound to suggest otherwise anyway. :s

[Jak00125]

0:42 OMFG! Sorry about that. I almost never use grapplers (aside from Alex in 3rd Strike) but I may just have to try out Clark in this game. Same applies to Raiden.

[Jeffyfolife]

@Jak00125 clark to me has to be one of the top ten grapplers, or At LEAST in the top 20s

[vavavoom99]

@Jeffyfolife indeed, but who'd be better?

[elkiller2002]

zZzZzZzZZZZ!!!

[madlolchuck]

glad to see Tager again :D

[heavysaur]

@madlolchuck sorry.........but look back at guilty gear...tell me after........

[helghan666]

3.331 ahahahh PERFECT SPECIAL OF CLARK!

[Magegg]

Actually Ralf and Clark's last names are lame. Meh, they didn't even need them T__T

[NinjaAnonymous]

Almost have my team set up!

Mai + Leona + ??? = Profit!!

[elkiller2002]

btw whats he's real last name, I've seen him some times as "Steel" "Stil" then "Still"?

[houou100]

@elkiller2002 It's "Clark Steel", but since the similarities to Superman (Clark Kent, Man of Steel) are a bit uncomfortable, they changed it.

At least that's what I heard.

[ArticSABCA]

@elkiller2002 It was originally "Steel" but they changed it to "Still" because it was apparently too close to another glasses wearing guy who goes by "Clark", who's also known as "The Man of Steel"...

[elkiller2002]

Clark is one of my 3 fav ever... He can grab you from your back and just break it up ;), come on boy you're the best

[shoNuuff]

I use Clark and Leona normally but not ralf so you guys can have him.

[linon3000]

Clark was amazing and Leona is just pure badass. All the stars in the universe, Peace.

[KaynJudas]

@ArticSABCA Thanks a lot for the info! Seeing as much you know and I presume love KOF, care to become friends ( I'm a noob to send invitation, sorry )? Where I live, KOF fans are unfortunately few and far between, and I am happy to speak to a fellow player who likes my favourite fighting game! Ciao!

[KaynJudas]

Don't get me wrong, I really LOVE KOF ( collecting every incarnation of it on every console, Neo Geo included, from the beginning ) and for me KOF XIII is alresdy the fighting game of the year, but I'm a bit disappointed that Clark is back to his original moveset. Of all his fantastic, not to mention very useful ad fun as hell to use, command grab only th SAB remains. It was ok in XII ( that game was a new beginning ) but I really hoped that in this... Leona, on the other hand, is awesome!

[ArticSABCA]

@KaynJudas He DOES have a kinda-napalm stretch move derived off his b,f+C (or EX) move. (Not shown in this vid, however.) But yeah, I was personally hoping for a throw move derived off his command hop (f+BD)... but otherwise, I'm happy with his moveset. With a forward moving multi-punch attack that leads to a throw, he feels more like Maxima. Which is ironic, because Maxima's new awesome Maxima Press throw harkens back to Clark's running grabs...

Leona IS awesome, much agreed!

[vavavoom99]

@ArticSABCA what new throw of mxima's? are there vids for it?

[ArticSABCA]

@vavavoom99 Any Maxima vid here on youtube should have it. The one where he grabs you, and then dashes you into a wall. Resembles Rugal's God Press. The cool thing is that it acts as a normal comboable command throw with the weak attack, but the strong one works as an unblockable dash throw, with a bit of startup. There is a derived more off the throw (a point-blank vapor cannon), which can be drive canceled into EX VapCan for walbounce fun. I probably have a vid in my favorites that shows it.

[vavavoom99]

@ArticSABCA i did see that vid also has a new double m4 vapcan which looks really sweet as well. just waiting forthe console dates now
