As another new KOF XIII player my go-to tactic of choice is to use the color edit mode to give my team all classy white / blue outfits. Then I usually do some of the following: forget that I only have 4 buttons and wonder why my medium and heavy kicks don't come out, accidentally activate HD mode at random times, fail to short hop and leap totally over my opponent, miss basic 2-in-1 combos, booger the inputs for DMs, and generally just stink up the place. Still having tons of fun though, this game is just so classy, I want to learn like all of the characters.
This is the one thing I love. The great variety of characters that just seem really interesting to play. I want to learn almost half of the characters because their designs just seem awesome as fuck. Right now I'm learning Terry and Robert, but I'm looking for a third and I'm thinking it's either going to be Mai, Kyo, K', Iori, Andy, Maxima, or Ralph. Too many choices!
