There seem to be slots for at least another 6 characters. New characters include Mai, King and Yuri. Raiden: Has gained a new drop kick move.Joe: Gains his Ougon no Kakato (qcb+K), as well as his Bakuretsu Hurricane Tiger Kakato super.Looks like he can also do his air down+C whilst hopping backwards like old KOF games. Kyo: Can now do Orochinagi in the air (Maybe he learnt this in his time in KOF:SkyStage o_O), he also looks like he has had some moves slowed down (Not 100% sure), and regains his air dwn+C.
Athena: Psycho Teleport, and it seems she can now do her Shining Crystal Bit super in the air.Character pre fight dialogue, i think this may be vs CPU only.
Colour select menu, i've read it's about 10 per character. 4 new stages, one of them being the UK. EX Supers, as far as i can tell these cost two stocks and the background goes black. You can cancel special moves into EX moves via Drive Cancel. EX Special moves (e.g Joe's EX Hurricane shoots out 3 Hurricanes), which take 1 stock to use. The zooming camera seems to have been removed. (Starts with 3, second character 4, etc.) Super stock, and the Hyper bar increase with each character in your team. C+D guard break has returned and replaced the back+C+D from XII. Counter stumble has been removed, it does seem that there is a very slight stumble after counter but no where near as long as it was in XII. You can use this to cancel special moves into each other. Drive Cancel, which takes a chunk of the new Hyper bar (located on top of the Super bar). Also it seems the Hyper bar is lost if you are hit during max up. Seems like you can activate this by itself or cancel it from a move. Critical Counter removed and replaced by the new HyperDrive mode, which seems similar to BC cancelling in 2002. So today KOFXIII was finally previewed at Akihabara, BelleSalle.Īlthough i was not able to go myself, there is plenty of information floating around on the net and quite a few videos already on Youtube.īased on what i've seen from the videos this is what i can tell has been changed/added (though as i do not have access to the game myself so some details may be sketchy).
