I sure hope this is $20ish, hyped either way.
Its unfortunate that they are launching right behind a wave of fighting game releases.
And into an incredibly packed month.
Guacamelee, Papers Please, Spelunky, Duck tales, Castlevania, Skull Girls, and The Bureau all look amazing.
I am probably forgetting some.

No. The whole game is quarters, half-circles, and DPs. Vice is the only exception, she has a "chicken wing" motion: 1236982 + P.

Hate how Vine doesn't have time stamps. Is that in reaction to this thread or just a joke from something else?
Can from the Guacamelee announcement.

Thought it was relevant
I still can't finish the tutorial because I can't perform Kyo's super. With any other character? Fine. But for some reason I just can't do a Neo Max with Kyo.

Gettin it. Haven't been on XBL in a while, and I need a place for my fighting fix.
Probably not a bad idea, especially with how bad MK's net code turned out.

That is really ugly. Anyways this is day one for me.
and player count =/
There's no more than 20 people online at any time, and it's usually less.

So... Do we still not know who's publishing?
If anything the same code seems worse on the PC. See SFxT and MK. No idea why. I would think the same code would be better.

If it ever has bad netcode, there is always a safety net of sorts with KOF98 and 2002 on GGPO! Good alternative!

The added subtitle gives me hope that they've optimized the port and improved netcode. Either way, I'll get it to support PC fighters and to finally force myself to get my execution down for my team.

The addition of Steam Edition gives hope that something got optimized. If it's netcode, then I do hope it works outside of Japan. Apparently online in Japan for console was unplayable.
I can't even get up there. It was "do this combo into a Maxmium Overdrive" and I'm all "DRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... whu?"
So, basically: Parity with the west then? Hmm, SNK/Suckmore strikes again!
Europa Universalis IV, Worms: Clan Wars, Space Hulk, PAYDAY 2, Disney Infinity (not sure if the game launches this month), Divekick, Saints Row IV, Castlevania: LoS, Rayman: Legends.
Think that's that.
I think I have pretty decent execution, was able to do all of Kyo's trials, but some of these are fucking ridiculous.
How do you do upper x fireball motion in an HD combo without getting QCF x 2?
Is there a trick?
Definitely will buy this again. Don't care how much. Hoping for good netcode.

Well their development team wasn't optimized for that environment anyways due to their other ventures.
Honestly I never dealt with trials and just used match videos for combo reference. In order to do a DP to projectile with Kyo, you use his C DP and HD cancel after the second hit I believe.
People hoping for good netcode are more than likely setting themselves up for disappointment.
You might as well hope they expanded the singleplayer and then be pleasantly surprised if the netcode isn't complete trash.

SSF4AE feels amazing on PC.

I don't even care for netcode anyways since I got GGPO anyways. I don't even have a good PC but at the least it's a good convenience if I go to a friend's house who plays on PC.
If think is more of the case that a lot more people use Ethernet on their PC compared to consoles.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Very curious how this port turned out. I know the obvious answer is "really well," since the original game was running on PC hardware, more or less... but there's always an opportunity to fuck things up!

You are gonna depend on that ultimately for your purchasing decision? Wow dude...
The game practically has no online, whats the point in buying it then?

He's going to make his purchasing decision for a fighting game based on his ability to play it against other people?

I already have this on 360, but I'll rebuy if the netcode isn't ass this time
why? a good netcode makes or breaks a fighting game if you don't have anyone locally that will play the game with you (or are good at the game). I got friends that are good at SF, Marvel and Tekken, but none play KOF

You misinterpreted what I meant. GGPO is really good but it's not the code that only matters. His exaggerated picky response was just unnecessary.
Also there is no GGPO support.
To practice, play locally with other players, the convenience in having the extra characters available, etc. Sure people with a lack of community might have to end up using online to play but being overtly dependent isn't healthy and doesn't benefit anything.
Sure it's cool that if it had GGPO or a capable code at the least but if it doesn't well too bad. You take what is given, for KOFXIII's case it's a lot, and maximize coverage as much as you can for it to expand.

Or you don't buy until the company gets it right.

What about gameplay? People's prioritization... I have nothing to say more.
Well you can be desiring while I can enjoy playing.
This is a joke, right? There are some fighting game people near me, but they live quite a few miles away, I'm not gonna do that just because there's no online, this is not 1993.
