this game looks way more complicated than breakers and waku, this is gonna be rough on my peanut sized reptilian fightmans brain

Yeah but you tell me your gonna look over at a second monitor at a monospaced crudely formatted FAQ to see the moves your gonna try after every other game in the world having a nice eventhubs page or neogeokult or whatever. I had to write the poo poo for 3 characters I sort of liked when I played against Lloyd on grid paper and I'm just gonna learn those because it's such a nightmare to find more moves.

90% of the guides for this game are like split into teams and not even alphabetical.

Yeah it's the teams on the character select screen

Yeah... KOF is a much different beast than Waku or Breakers when it comes to movesets.

Also yeah I wrote out a few moves on paper. But I probably already know what my team is gonna be because Terry Athena and Iori are universal constants

When I was getting into XIII I taped index cards with important moves for each of my characters on the sides of my monitor.

Opened up KoF 03 for the hell of it...this game seems awesome. It's KOF but you can switch any time instead of just when you lose a round.

You can switch in 00 if you win too.

Is it legal to play as Kula? She's a secret character but I don't think she's an OP boss character and also she's my favorite kof character so it would be cool ( :grin: ) to play as her.

There's secret striker characters as well, dunno if they should be legal.

There's apparently infinite combos that are competitively banned in this game, but I don't think that's anything we'll need to worry about.

I decided to pick Mary, Yuri and Leona and just focus on those since there's too many characters and looking up moves is a pain in the rear end for this game.

There's literally not enough time to try all the characters so I've just got to pick three out of the hat and learn how to do their moves without looking at the index cards on the monitor.

Think I'm gonna do Athena, K', and Andy. Seth worked pretty well as striker but I think he's the cheesy choice?

Well she's not cheesy once you know how to deal wit her, but if you ever play somebody who doesn't really know what's happening, her constant teleporting, 6 different kinds of projectiles and brain dead cross up stuff with psycho shoot all shreds

I was playing with my buddy last night who went all random and he got a striker that was just a poorly made panda sprite that slowly walks across the screen and does nothing, has anybody found that one?

Mai and her alternate do that. Mai just shakes her boobs in the middle of the screen. I guess she's supposed to be a distraction or absorb a hit or something since I used her to block one of Lloyd's supers.

someof them increase your health slightly or increase meter gain or decrease the other guys meter gain but all of those are terrible compared to a fireball that sends tho other guy flying

Mai does an uppercut. A lot of them have goofy animations for if they whiff

Anyone use sanwa silent buttons? I'm​ think about picking some up. Are they as good as normal buttons?

https://arcadeshock.com/products/sanwa-denshi-jlf-tprg-8byt-sk-3rd-gen-silent-stick-high-tension i have the 2nd version of this, it's fine. bit weird without the click clacks. note that if you slam your hands around like an ape the joystick still moves around. the stick itself is pretty quiet. kind of wish i had a higher tension spring on mine like this one has apparently but its a 50 cent mod to add one so whatever.

https://arcadeshock.com/products/sanwa-denshi-button-30mm-solid-color-silent-obsfs-30-xx these are identical to standard sanwa buttons basically. convex round shape and very sensitive. basically the same shape as horis buttons if you have a hori stick, but raised high and more sensitive to pushing. see ya
