The King of Fighters XIII Trials - Kyo Kusanagi

Many people ask me my personal opinion on trial difficulty for games.

If the scale was 1 out 10 in difficulty


MVC3 - 3
SSF4 - 4
3rd Strike - 5
UMVC3 - 5
Blazblue - 9
KOF 13 - 10


Mini blog on Kyo trials



Trial 5

Right away I realized that the trials do not mess around in difficulty even
in the early segments. Having to cancel reverse dp motions into qcb-hcf and
still having continue after that, this shows that you require a large memory
and very good execution early on.

Trial 6

The starting of this trial was difficult. You have to do 2 super hops into
a D+HP. The first was to be timed as late as possible, the next was timed as
early as possible.

Trial 7

Many people have issues with doing dp motions on the left side of the screen,
this is because using the back of your left hand makes it akward to rear it
forward. Anyone with this issue would have huge issues with this trial. Having
to cancel a srk motion into a reverse srk motion 6 times in a row perfectly
will test your execution.

Trial 8

DF+HK into a HCB+HK requires you to return the joystick back to neutral. On
top of all that you have to cancel the HCB+HK into a DP+HP. The problem with
that is it will come out as a super every single time. The motion I had to use
to overcome this problem was... DF+HK... Return stick to neutral...
Forward,Down Forward,Down,Back+HK... DP+HP then canceling that into QCF+HK.
Doing this in quick succession was very challenging.

Trial 9

The interesting part of this trial was performing an air super near the end.
I had to tiger knee motion qcb-hcf then juggle the super again.

Trial 10

I had little problems performing this one. You need quick fingers to perform
qcfx2 right on the first hit of the super. This is a normal task for any
street fighter player.

A tip for people struggling with cancelling into super from DP with Kyo: Theres a shortcut that will make it a lot easier. HCB~F + punch will input a DP, and then you can just QCF + punch for the super.

@snatcherofpeachs I didn't say it in a bad way man, I'm amazed as well, I just bought the game about 3 weeks ago and the farest I can go for each character is up to trial 4 or 5... lol and I consider my self at a good level in fighting games, specially since KOF 98 was my favorite!!

[snatcherofpeachs]
