KOF XIII System Discussion Thread

[deathclown]

i just bought this game and i decided to try the online rank match win or lose just wanna test it but when i pick create or quick match i always get the message like specifications are not met(something close to that definition ) i cant join a room either way, i was thinking maybe its because of the percentage of battle completion completion option in the create match and since im 0% so thats why i cant get any matches or maybe im wrong or maybe because i have a bad connection , need help please thanks

Rooms can stop you from entering if you do not match their requirements - most rooms only want 3 bar connections.

The best thing for you to do is to create a room (Latency = any) and play arcade or practice mode while you are waiting.

That should guarantee a match... you won't like 1bar matches though!!!

i saw the lag issue on version 1.0 its slideshow , somehow im getting a regretful feeling of buying this game because of the peoples response through the lag issue im not saying this a bad game i like it even though im not a fighting game player graphics is nice also stylish characters i like it although they remove the unique character intro's in a match, anyways is there really a light of hope on getting a better netcode for this game ? at least they make it like smooth like ssf4 i feel this game does not deserve this kind of netcode i wish that a miracle would happen and the netcodes got switched between kof13 and ssf4

[Gunsmith]

sfxt is getting the same response right now because its netcode is bad.

You know what?

They're still playing it.

UMvC3 has poor netcode.

They're still playing it.

Blazblue has amazing netcode.

It has a small community.

If you like the game, play it. If you really like it, you'll need to travel, or set up sessions. Right now, there is no other way to play with people.

SNKP are working on KOFXIII: Climax, so we're waiting to see what happens next...

oooh new episode of 13 maybe the miracles will happen there

okay, i think i need to have this worked out. we were talking about input windows and repeat of inputs to allow for easier linking etc, and was told this only mattered with specials up to neomaxes, not normals. but i was under the impression that the game repeats your button press for 5 frames (roughly) as long as you're still holding the button, giving you a little more leeway in your links. is this right or wrong to assume?

[Gunsmith]

yes, rule of thumb: if u want to make sure a move executes, hold down the button

[hadoolket]

so the five frame repeat on holding down the button DOES work for normals as well?

[Gunsmith]

Should certainly be, the whole input repeat thing was not designed for netcode but for laggy monitors. Arguably the same thing.

I've been trying to get into Shens play style for a while now. I play on pad and it's honestly been a bit difficult to learn combos in this game. For some reason it's a really weird layout on the pad. Would it be better to play on stick? I have one.

Any tricks to cancelling into super moves from normals? It seems super tight. I was trying out Ash and I can't do crouch lkx2 into x2 k to save my life. The only way I can even do crouch lk into super is by doing lk, k.

[Gunsmith]

you're doing it the right way! Have a look at the shortcuts section in the general system guide in the wiki

Another thing I've learned with the revamped system is to input by feeling. Its not executable by input alone. Fast combos work just as well for grapples. Its all in the timing.
