Seriously what the fuck. I'm only just learning how to play a fighting game. Don't ask me to do Kyo's Ura Hyaku-Hachi Shiki Orochinagi all of a sudden like that.
I don't even know how to pronounce it. They don't even list the motion for it so you have to look it up. You can't complete the tutorial until after you've done Kyo's Ura Hyaku-Hachi Shiki Orochinagi, which probably isn't even made up of real words and is some random gibberish thrown together. I thought I was playing this game IN ENGLISH.
This is how SNK is keeping casuals out of fighting games.
KoF is tuff. Probably the hardest 2D series that had any lifespan that wasn't SF or MK.
>>343772242
This might sound outlandish to you but bear with me: You can check the character's moveset by pressing start.
I know it's hard and all to discover this incredibly hidden feature, but please have patience.
>>343772242
You know that there is a movelist in game right?
>>343772619
Which button is that?
>>343772242
>He can't read or even do the 裏百八式 大蛇薙

>>343772619
He has a point in saying it, if i'm understanding it properly. Its odd it doesn't get listed underneath the tutorial text like a lot of games had started doing a while back.
But is this a KoF thread?
Cardman is my fighterfu. Shame he'll probably not come back.
>>343772636
What is a movelist and where do you find it?
Wait, better yet, why am I playing "Where's the movelist?" I thought I was playing a fighting game.
There's no reason why it shouldn't be explained in the tutorial.
>>343772871
Remove Okinawa
>>343772636
And the reason it wasn't listed in the tutorial, is?
>>343775097
The tutorial doesn't tell you you have to use a controller either. It says "press thing" but not where to press it. It doesn't also tell you how to exit from the game, how to go into the options, how to turn your system on and off, etc.
Also it gives you the command for the move right after the fucking message.

Why? You don't have to do the tutorial.

Should have made it clear that I was talking about menues and not fighting itself (which is okay). Can be confusing at times, but maybe I'm thinking of a different game. It's been a while.
But while we're at it, what's the general opinion on Elisabeth? I had fun playing her.
She's never coming back, is she?
>>343781305
>21 years old.
>still acts like a kid.
Athena also takes the cake too, she is 18 and still dresses a sailor fuku.At least Kyo just admits that he dropped the school.
>>343781805
She is perfect.
Shut up.
OP as someone genuinely trying to get into fighting games myself over this summer sale, do what I did and pickup skullgirls. Base game is like $2 and has a pretty great tutorial. Some of it I can't do yet and I can just skip to the next step.
I have literally never played a fighting game before, and I'm learning steadily. By no means will I be good, but I can atleast understand things thanks to it.
>>343781689

Should I get XIV even though I'm shit at fightan' games right now?
If it helps, I can actually perform a dragon punch and not whine that it looks too hard to input.
>>343782697
decide for yourself moron
>>343782102
Yuri!
>>343782697
It's pretty good.
You should just use someone with simple inputs like Athena, Kyo or Yuri.
>>343782820
Athena.
>>343772242
Have you considered gitting gud, OP? Executing combos is the easiest part of any fighting game
>>343782697
All fighters are entry level fighters, multiplayer isn't however.
anyone have links to the ceo footage for XIV? last i heard it was getting taken down before i had the chance to watch any of it
>>343772479
Nice meme.
>>343782902
>pantsu
>>343773052
Stay out of the genre if you're too stupid to come to terms with this.
No game is going to wave a move list in your face 14 installments in.
Press start.
>>343783008
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r75Lz1Drp8g&fmt=35
More or less, KoF have some stuff like hop and some other minor mechanics. But the basic mechanics is pretty much the same since 96-97.
It's not a good entry level fighting but still fun to play.
>>343781689
But that's how PC game should handle showing inputs.
I have PS3/360/PC stick, I know which button is A on xbox/X on PS3, but PC sees it as button [2].
So if game starts to show me random numbers, like Injustice did, I'm totally lost.
Injustice gets additional bullshit points for having quick time events with that bullshit.
Especially with fighting games where people use all kinds of input devices, the developer shouldn't make any assumptions.
No one likes a mad shitter, OP.

I don't give a shit about the competitive scene you cuck, I'm using the game as a learning tool, then likely to try out other games once I've got a handle.
Dude if you really want to adapt to the games AND enjoy your purchase, just dick around in SP for a while enjoying the shitty AI before doing so becomes a liability to your skill level (which it doesn't yet, since you're ass regardless)
Then hop online and get bodied and start trying to learn from your mistakes even though you'll probably start out getting stomped too hard. But this is normal and a place to work from
Then you can go one of two routes: start watching Youtube videos of pros who use your character and literally just copy them like a total meme slut faggot, or hold that L to your chest and find your own ways of adapting around your personal shortcomings and accept the fact that some people are just better than you. But don't run away, keep playing them if you find someone really good, and do your best to beat them for as long as you can
>>343782084
A daily reminder Blazblue/Virtual Fighter4:EVO/Skullgirls have the best tutorial mode.
Serious question honestly. Why Kyo's moves have so complicated names? is there a lore reason?
or was just to complement the reasoning back in 94 to have such retarded inputs for some of the moves.
>>343785743
Your just an EOP plebian, continue being retarded.
>>343785743
It always had that name. It just says: 108 Shiki Orochinagi.
>>343785743
There is a lore reason. Orochinagi is so named because it's what he used to defeat Orochi back in the first story arc.
KoF actually has (or used to have) kinda cool lore reasons for changes in actual movesets, like Iori injuring Kyo's hands so that he stopped being able to use ground fireballs and got rekkas instead
>>343784807
It's bad advice.
>>343787428
this tee bee eigtch
Not a lot of what you will learn in Skull Girls will carry over into other FGs. It has a lot of its own esoteric systems.
>>343783521
That shit is not hard to learn.
Of course, multiplayer will always be hard to play, because better players will always stomp the weaker. That's just the nature of competitive play, but flicking the stick upward to hop and buffering supers to combo into them are not hard.
Besides,

>>343783176
Where's "start"? What is even "start" on this thing? The tutorial should show me where this "start" thing is! I thought I was playing a fighting game, not a starting game!
>>343789126
the bait is so bad I won't even spare a reaction pic
seriously man, at least bad trolling attempts should be funny
>>343789287
The tutorial didn't teach me how to troll.
>>343787151
Actually the real reason why it's called Orochinagi (Great Serpent Mower) is because it's a reference to Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the legendary sword which Susanoo found from within Orochi's body. He gave it to Amaterasu and she gave it to a Japanese emperor who was later lured onto a field which was set on fire by a traitor. The emperor used the sword to cut down (mow) the grass and found out that it can also control winds. He used the wind to move the fire towards the traitor and burned him.

>>343787151
>like Iori injuring Kyo's hands so that he stopped being able to use ground fireballs and got rekkas instead
That's not the reason, Kyo was attacked by Goenitz before 96 and got hospitalized. He then decided to learn new techniques because the old ones didn't work against Goenitz.

This never bothers Mexicans. You gringos are whiny bitches.
>>343780261
Using a stick does make executing your moves much easier. You might as well not even play the game if your logic is "well I can't beat those Chinese guys anyway, so I'm not going to bother putting in any effort". That's like saying "I can't become a pro bowler, so I'll just wear my tennis shoes whenever I do play"
>>343780797
So why is that guy having problems? The build quality is pretty low on a regular PS3 or 360 controller and pulling off longer combos is kind of hard in something like KoF. I guess it is fine for Skullgirls, though.
>>343793889
>Using a stick does make executing your moves much easier.
No it doesn't, you have much more precise control over your thumb than your wrist.
So am I the only KoF player that dislikes XIII? The combos are just way too long and I miss the old style from the earlier games that were more about risk and reward due to short health bars than pulling off long strings.
>>343794227
no
a LOT of old-school KoF players hated 13 for those reasons
the shitty netcode didn't help either
>>343772242
GIT GUD

>>343794219
So why don't you drive with a controller as well?
>>343772242
Play Xrd, it has a good tutorial.
>>343794572
I don't drive in the first place, but driving games are much easier with a pad than with a wheel.
Reminder that people who play fighting games are all super autistic, niggers or poor mexicans
I know OP is probably baiting, but I do agree in the sense that I miss the old days of terms actually getting translated. It seems that now even official translations don't have a lot of effort put into some of them and they just outright leave certain words alone. I think part of the reason I ended up learning a bit of Japanese is because fansubbers and the like apparently thought you knew it anyway. While I'm not advocating for the removal of Japanese culture, like in the localizations of things like Yugioh or Pokemon, I still think that certain things should be given a vague equivalent in English. Most Chinese and Korean works I've seen do this pretty easily, so I don't see why Japanese is the language where they suddenly think there are too many special meanings for stuff to be translated.

Maybe in Korea, but I've been living in the US since I was 5, so I really wouldn't know.
>>343798017
I'm not even trying to be a special snowflake. I just don't like retardedly long combos in general, which is also why I couldn't get into Skullgirls or MvC that much.
>>343772909
I use to kick so much ass with Oswald and then he never came back
>>343798125
it's been said almost everytime 13 is brought up that very few people like the long combos in the game and that the people who like it,either just like the game(which is fine) or it's their first kof game so they dont know any better
>>343798019
>live in the US
>say you're Korean

You'd prefer me just saying that I'm asian? Even that would be kind of inaccurate.
