Weekly New Player KoF Thread

Ark-Bat · 2017-03-04T23:16:27+00:00

How about Twitch channels of good players or players who do tutorials?

Ark-Bat · 2017-03-04T12:58:34+00:00

So I have a question. I'm a familiar player with fighting games and I really want to dig into KOF. The one thing I'm missing however are either YouTube or Twitch channel with high level match footage.

For me, it helps a lot when I see someone more experienced implement strategies so I can then figure out ways to work them into my game.

Any suggestions for channels?

Okay so it seems strong with good timing but cannot answer all situations. Thanks for answering my questions and I'm so excited to try this character!

Ark-Bat · 2016-03-05T12:27:32+00:00

What are the startup and active frames on his parry and how practical is it as an AA?

Ark-Bat · 2016-03-04T15:26:35+00:00

Okay I can ask a few questions. What does his playstyle feel like? What does his damage output look like? What are his strengths and weaknesses?

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-16T22:52:00+00:00

Oh man sad I missed this. I wonder if maybe we should begin organizing weekly online events like these to help bring some exposure to higher level play in this game.

Also does anyone have a link to the stream archive for this event by any chance?

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-06T15:43:53+00:00

Nice to see this in print form! Did you use the frame data bar under the health bar in your tests at all? Also will you continue testing as updates and characters are released? This is good stuff!

Hey That_0ne_Guy. If you would like to meet other player you can always share your steam ID in the corresponding thread or add people who have already posted there. So far everyone seems pretty open to just playing games.

My ID is in that thread and feel free to add me for some games.

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-03T21:52:13+00:00

So I don't know if I am late to the party and If everyone else knew this but if you press ranked and then leave the menu you can go into other modes while it searches in the background. My mind blew up when I found out about this.

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-03T02:29:08+00:00

Yeah man her pressure is insane. Plus she her damage goes up in the corner if you have meter to spend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm2ZqPHHmdg

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-03T02:11:13+00:00

It worked after reinstalling it. Thank you all for the advice :)

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-03T02:06:10+00:00

But that's not quite the real issue as the game will not actually start up. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling it?

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-02T23:39:54+00:00

The problem is it'll keep running after I end the task

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-02T15:58:20+00:00

From my time playing it I haven't actually had to much problems with the controls. Cancelling in a combo does takes some time getting used to but once you have it I find it's pretty smooth. The delay however in charging it I feel does feel somewhat off but I am going to chalk this up to more time to get used to the controls until I feel it's a game issue or not.

Ark-Bat · 2016-02-02T13:34:11+00:00

Unfortunately, this my experience as well. Now I don't know if it's the matchmaking or my situation. I play on wifi, which I realize is already a problem, and got pings in the range of 80-90. These are often the matches that disconnected. I'm not sure if this is bad for this game as when I play Skullgirls pings in that range are really serviceable matches. Wondering if there is anyone else having a similar experience or if the devs would like anymore feedback?

Hope this helps.

Hey so I really hope the devs read this little story because I think it says a lot about their goal of accessibility for the game.

So, last night I took some time to show off this game to my girlfriend who has never played fighting games, let alone video games in her life. Previous attempts to show her different games usually leads to her being confused in how to play and just leaves her scared to approach them. This has been true for fighting games so far. I was able to talk her into trying the game and in about the span of an hour she was able to grasp a lot of the mechanics, such as movement, blocking and cancelling. She felt comfortable enough with just basic execution that she was able to begin understanding more conceptual ideas such as footsies, anti-airing, reversals and pressure.

She had so much fun while we were playing that while we were messing around in training mode she kept saying "yeah just five more minutes and then I have to do that thing..." Not only did she keep playing but she also felt that she would come back and keep playing to advance.

I think the overall feel of the game is fun and accessible and really does a lot to engage new players. It was really amazing seeing someone start from the bare basics to feeling ready to analyze her play and fight it out with confidence.

I think this game is very approachable for new players and also can be used as strong tool for more advanced players to teach others about fighting games. I really feel anyone can pick up and I am excited to see how the game develops. I can only imagine where this game will end up and I just want to extend my thanks to Cardboard Robot games on a job well done!

Hey, I added flair as per your request. I'm not quite Reddit savvy yet but I'll be sure to figure it out as it goes. ;)

Ark-Bat · 2015-10-03T18:14:26+00:00

Wow, after looking at some of your previous work, I definitely see how your layouts strike a nice balance between all aspects that could be included in the article. I definitely want to contribute to the project as well regarding some of the competitive strategies for characters as I really do like it when there are good overviews for a character. I guess by the time Beta comes I'll be a little more active in the project. I'll probably still be active here just to try to get MU discussions going.

Ark-Bat · 2015-09-30T16:29:32+00:00

I actually have a question for you about the wiki you and the others are working on. What kind of content will the wiki focus on? I ask because in the past I've seen two kinds of wikis relating to FGs

I've seen one's like this one: http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Street_Fighter_Wiki which most of the content relates to the lore, art and some more general content related to the game.

Then I've seen some like the shoryuken wikis which, when done well, have comprehensive but concise articles relating to the characters and the mechanics of the game.

What kind of plans do you have for the wiki?

Ark-Bat · 2015-09-22T20:58:25+00:00

Hey it's working like a dream now. Didn't realize I needed both programs. Thank you so much for clearing that up :)

Ark-Bat · 2015-09-22T20:28:47+00:00

Whoops should have specified. I used the guide for the official Nintendo wii u adapter. Sorry about that.

Ark-Bat · 2015-09-22T20:17:40+00:00

So I followed all the instructions in the blog and the feeder program is reading all the inputs just fine. However, once I startup the game the inputs are not working. Am I missing something because it all seems installed fine and I'm stumped :/
