Right there they just call him Mars Alien. xD

Mars Alien it is then, lol. thanks.

Enjoy it while you can.

Raiden? Moar like NERFDEN!

Don't see how his nerf is major, if anything it made him more balanced.

BTW Fersis, sorry but I'll PM you the OT stuff I'm writing next week ^_^;

 

[Mista Koo]

Raiden's colors splitting is genius. Too bad no interesting character got the same level of treatment.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

I'm thinking of starting to learn dk-less Raiden right now. He doesn't actually need those to be a beast, and I don't really want to wait 32 seconds to unleash the fury - I want them dead by that time, lol.

 

[Tizoc]

Is Raiden's #7 color supposed to be a nod to Ultimate Warrior?

 

[Mista Koo]

Is Raiden's #7 color supposed to be a nod to Ultimate Warrior?

I dunno, but 9 looks like King Tiger Mask and 10 looks like Venom.
Maybe the whole bottom row is modeled after others? 6 could be Rey Mysterio and 8... err... Hawkeye :lol.

 

[Fersis]

SNKP confirms that it was a mistake by Arcadia Magazine
Yes!

Dont worry man as i said: I got this!
Im pretty much done with the text part of the OT. Gotta work on the few images like the banner and such.

Good thing we've all agreed to get the PS3 version

right?

I will probably get it on PS3 so I can bring it over to my friend's place who only was PSWii

 

[BadWolf]

If its blessed with good netcode then I will be getting it for PS3 as well.

Raiden's colors splitting is genius. Too bad no interesting character got the same level of treatment.

Really like the way they split K' and Yuri, so much so that I often prefer them to the originals.

Andy's and Joe's are pretty cool too.

 

[Galdelico]

Tiger Raiden Mask is awesome! O_O

Also classic Raiden attire is kind of nice, can't remember if it was there in XII as well.

 

[Dandy J]

yup, even without dropkick hes still very strong and the best grappler character. though they are buffing daimon and clark im not sure i see them surpassing raiden sans-dk

 

[Kioshen]

Wait what everyone is switching to the PS3 version now ?

 

[SAB CA]

Wait what everyone is switching to the PS3 version now ?

Not in the least, 360 version here.

Maxima and Vice are still probably stronger grapplers than Clark, and both of them seem to get used much more than Daimon, which I always find kinda sad for him. It's like no-one ever wants to commit to Goro in this game, as if they're all just playing him as a meter-building sacrifice. They're 2 characters in the console port, that I wonder if are getting enough Buffs, so far. I suspect we'll learn of some new tech with each of them on final console release, that was missed in our previous testings... maybe as minor as a new chain or drive cancel, or as significant as new DM variations.

The strength of Gattling attack with Clark kinda makes me wanna see him as more like... old Maxima, and new Maxima as more like Old Clark.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

My PS3 yellow-lighted last night so 360 will be my main...

 

[zlatko]

Wait what everyone is switching to the PS3 version now ?

Not a chance. 360 for all fighters for me, and as far as I can tell the majority of fighting GAF are on the 360 as well for any multiplatform release for fighters.

Glad to hear that rumor of Bkane being PS3 exclusive is debunked.

 

[KeioSquad2]

Which version will be the one to get?

 

[Ken Masters]

Which version will be the one to get?

I'll be getting the ps3 version, I'm a gamepad user so playing a fighting game on the 360 isn't an option

 

[Terareflection]

Which version will be the one to get?

Get whatever you want, though I do think that most of the playerbase for these games would on PS3.

 

[zlatko]

Get whatever you want, though I do think that most of the playerbase for these games would on PS3.

Why would you think that?

 

[Skilletor]

360 for all fighters.

SC4 and UMvC3 cemented that for me.

Get whatever you want, though I do think that most of the playerbase for these games would on PS3.

If this were 5 years ago, maybe. I'm pretty sure the sales for most fighters has been split pretty even across the consoles.

 

[BadWolf]

Wait what everyone is switching to the PS3 version now ?

PS3 is the only console that I own so yeah.

Glad to see so many others leaning towards the PS3.

 

[Tizoc]

My PS3 yellow-lighted last night so 360 will be my main...

Take it to gophermods and see what they can do with it.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Take it to gophermods and see what they can do with it.

I'll look into that! Thank you.

 

[Tizoc]

I'll look into that! Thank you.

Hope they can fix your problem, in PS3 threads on forums Gophermods keep being brought up when it comes to YLODed PS3s =)

Oh and after seeing the PS2 games coming to PSN thread

Spoiler

I want KoF MI Ra on PSN, haters can hate >=P

 

[Mature]

I was all ready to get this for 360 and now I'm not so sure...

 

[Terareflection]

Why would you think that?

It's just what I gathered on various forums, didn't mean to start something.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I was all ready to get this for 360 and now I'm not so sure...

Why? Is the 360 port substandard?

Billy is in both versions, the exclusive talk was a mistake.

 

[Mature]

Oh, no, nothing like that. And I'm perfectly set-up to play on either system, but I'd like to get to the more popular version which I thought would undoubtedly be 360, but it seems there's a lot of people repping PS3 here.

 

[Shinriji]

Fersis will get for PS3, think about it.

 

[Tizoc]

Where's the achievement list already? Don't they usually get put up near a month before a game's released?

 

[Fersis]

Fersis will get for PS3, think about it.

lol wut?

Well yeah its the only console i own.

 

[Mista Koo]

Joe is a missed opportunity, they could've easily gave him a tanktop/vest.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

I will be getting the PS3 version also .
From what i notice most fighting games sell even across both platforms expect for Japan.
Still this might not matter cause with out spec mode the chat room will die in a month .

 

[alstein]

I'm getting PS3 also.

 

[Mileena]

PS3 for me if I get it. Dualshock 3 is godlike.

 

[DiscoShark]

PS3 here.

Pretty sure the PS3 version of BlazBlue had a bigger following too if the Gaf thread is anything to go by. It'll end up being a coin flip as far as I can tell for what console is going to end up being the most popular for the game.

[Samuray]

I can't seem to find any reliable info what stages will really be in the game at this point. The iOS iteration contributed to that confusion...we're not getting all the stages that were added to that, or will we? The ones from XII will all be back, though, as far as I know, but I'd really like a definitive list of stages for XIII, if there is such a thing yet.


(Day 1 regardless, of course; already got it preordered)

Anyone? No one....?

Thanks man!

Anyone? No one....?

Theres no official stage list but:
(New stages not available on arcades)
- Stadium rooftop
- AOF street
- Desert
- Pao Pao Cafe
- Elisabeth's Old Mansion
- Clock Tower
- Those from the past HQ
- Industrial zone (Iori DLC)
- Kyokugen Ryu Dojo
- Sky Noa
- Another dojo stage (Its kinda dark)

So yeah... looots of new stages. Oh and most of them have different cameos according the round.

 

[Grokbu]

Anyone? No one....?

What Fersis said, but add 2 more stages, whom I don't really remember what they are, but they weren't in VS, plus 96 Esaka stage (Kyo DLC). also, I do believe that that dark dojo stage Fersis mentioned is with mr. Karate DLC.

As far as we know, the XII stages aren't in, except for the ones (one?) that are in the arcade version.

 

[SAB CA]

Anyone? No one....?

As SolarKnight described in the Trailer thread (with SAB CA extras):

Arcade
- Brazil
- France
- Egypt
- America
- China
- Japan
- India
- England
- Colosseum
- Destroyed colosseum
- Heaven I think they called it

Console
- Colosseum's roof
- An alley
- Kyokugen Dojo
- Desert
- Old Mansion
- Elizabeth's mansion's garden (I think it was Betty's)
- Clocktower
- Pao Pao Cafe
- Adel & Rose's Sky Noah

Most likely included with each DLC char
- Remade Rival Team 95 stage (Construction Yard)
- Remade Osaka 96 stage (Japanese Walkway above the Street)
- Remade AoF 1 final boss stage (Mr. Karate's Dojo o'darkness!)

So about 20 on disk and 23 total.

Reasons's we're confident about this list:
- These are the stages present in the demo builds (Console and Arcade Stages)
- They're the ones SNKP shows in trailers for the full game.
- The "new" stages previewed on iphone match up to the known DLC Characters perfectly.

Note that none of the "XII" stages are direct ports; they're the remade stages from the arcade game. We're still also missing the "Snow" stage from XII. There's been nothing like it present in the console or arcade game.

 

[AAK]

PS3 for me. 360 is in my room mate's room. And he won't like me in his room for hours on end practicing fighters.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Not a chance. 360 for all fighters for me, and as far as I can tell the majority of fighting GAF are on the 360 as well for any multiplatform release for fighters.

Glad to hear that rumor of Bkane being PS3 exclusive is debunked.

billy kane was in the 360 debug version I was playing at events so I don't know how ppl came to that conclusion. probably some fanboy trying to start something. Getting it on 360 anyway since all my friends are on there.

Arcadia Magazine erroneously said that Billy wasn't playable on the 360 version.

Some Japanese Arcade Version vids, from the KCE Group First:

You may remember the Fatal / Cool Combo vid they did. Practacal killer combos, VS Combos that just spend loads of meter, and are fun to watch. Here's the Women Fighter + AoF Team edition!

Watching the JP play makes this game look so much better. Raiden and K` are still ridiculous though.

I love their combo videos. LOVE!

The creativity in their combos are freaking great.

I was mindblown watching this one...

KoF XIII Console Streaming Oct 12th

•Wed 12 Oct

•Entry: £5
•Streamed Live from 7.30pm (UK time) on www.twitch.tv/exdragonproject

So in US Time: 11:30 AM West Cost, 2:30pm East Coast.

Yeah, I really like Japanese play of this game, overall. There's a methodical, solid understanding of the normals and move properties that feels much different than the Southtown streams.

Having said that, I also love the raw, "play each character as if they're my main!" gameplay style, that either side seems to only have a few players explore. JP can depend TOO MUCH on those K' and Raiden's, and it makes their out character look crappy by comparision, because they never use their full tool-list.

So there's some bad, and good, on each side for me.

I love their combo videos. LOVE!

The creativity in their combos are freaking great.

Ryo, Robert, and King really had some awesome moments. I love the amount of Ping-Pong you can pull on opponents, if you're willing to commit some meter. And Ryo's ever-advancing Koh-ken was insane, lol.
