True, but then Volt was a buck when it released. Just wait till the price for KOF drops, you will see more players.
More characters (Ikari Team, Psycho Soldiers, Korea Team, AoF Team, alternate Kyo and Iori), features and online play.
You know I hate that about SFXT as well... and I am guilty of some of that from SF... but in the end, even now with Volt, I quit it to for KOF (Much like the console version) I feel this has a solid feel of risk vs. reward, and balanced at that. Sure, one mistake, and if I got 3 meters and full drive bar, im gonna punish the hell outta you, but do you know how difficult that is? lol, Its not like Volt, where, for example, if you fight ryu v ryu, and one ryu directly in front of you randomly tosses Shinku Hadouken, you immediately mash out d+sp (or mp shoryu for console) FADC -> Ultra is a death sentence, or worse, ANYONE DROP A COMBO VS A ZANGIEF WITH FULL METER...
I had to re-read this, before I said something because I was gonna say KOF98/UM was HELLA COMBO HEAVY as opposed to KOF 97 and below lol. 99 is pretty much the standard now that All KOF's system is based on, with upgrades and tweaks of course, I think it was perfected in 2002/UM and changed in 2003, but changed back in Neowave... you can use the same skills from 99 (albeit with new moves and tricks) in XI and XIII (we dare not speak of XII... why SNK? WHY????)
Street Fighter 4 is a very basic game in terms of combos, footsies, etc. The thing with the Super shortcuts in this game though is that they don't do anywhere near as much damage as Ultras do and they're pretty easy to stuff on startup. Neo Max moves take awhile to get and in a lot of cases there are better ways to spend your meter. Anything that isn't Street Fighter is going to have a tough time. I think this is probably the best fighting game available on the iPhone and I think we could definitely grow a decent community the way we did with SF4. And as Wediafom said, I think once the price drops a bit, you'll see more people jumping on board. I wish I could sig this for when people ask why I don't like SF4. '99 was the one KoF game I played a fair bit other than '94 and this one. I might be in the minority, but I kinda dug the Striker system in that game. It added another layer of strategy to the game. I'll have to hit you up to play soon. I was away from wifi last night when you invited me.
@DoctaMario nah, these max moves are also to easy to land for many chars and they do a lot of dmg too, the point is that they could make sp simple moves but normal moves for max and supers. but that's not the point about how basic is sf4volt. i understand that this game is much more complex but where the f is tutorial? where the f are balanced scripts for chars at very hard mode? why they do only rush. combo training is too basic compared to the one in volt. so what i want to say is that this game is very complex and there is no good manual and also it seems like sf community is more active and there is just more info about that game in internet.
LMAO just made a pretty good player rage quit.. reason because he can't deal with my "Ash" spam LOL. by the way i recently start play "ash" a bit, I think might as well to post something here about his play style to help people who like to play and have fun with this character: Character Over view well at the first begain I didn't know this character is so freaking defensive nasty spam play style, after I start play defensive and fine out this style freaking ownes. This character is good for defensive fight doesn't means his not good for offensive fight, there are some move that helps for offensive playing too which I will explain later. combos: To be honest I don't think there's a easy combo with a good damage for Ash to use, as myself, I use jump punch + stand kick+ back punch or Jump punch + crouch punch + crouch SP (can add Super if you wish), these 2 combo are consider the most safty move, but both combo are about the same risk, personally i more prefer to use jump punch+ crouch punch+ crouch SP, make sure crouch SP hit thou else you in trouble. Play Style Defensive: For the cheap players: basicly all you need to do is spam push back + SP. when player too far away from you push forward+SP (which put a little green ball in front of you, if the target gets nearby it's explose, else is last pretty long to provent the player jump) and continue spam fireball(back+SP). when player jump or roll toward to you, you use anti air(push down+ SP) or you can just use SP without direction, again this will shoot the player away for you to continue spam previous move. This character is a cheap like Street fighter Akuma but with a lot more Health bar LOL!!! Oh and one more thing, Ash's ultra is actually grab, so just keep in mind you can use it againest ppl who like to roll often Offensive: You will be mainly defensive playing, offensive when other player has good option againest your fireball spam without jumping or rolling toward to you (for example like Daimen's earthquake) or runing out of time, hold back + punch is awsome, it's looks like a kick that will also move you foward, very safe move, you can actually spam it at some stage. If you wana jump, I suggest with a jump punch, I tried both jump+sp and Jump kick, they both kind of sucks, jump punch is also easiest for you to connect the combo. Weekness? Yes is a spam character, but as i been metion before good players will find the way to break it. I think the best solution is try to use roll on the right time + a little bit of jump, as "Ash" try to use anti air, you can try to do a fake jump ( jump without moving any direction), if his anti air fail, is your chance to socore a big combo, this is why combo is important, you hardly getting chance to get good player fail with anti air attact, but once they missed you must take the chance to do the big punish. Jump + punch or kick if Ash dare to spam fireball in a close distance. feel free to ask any questions or point out any suggestions. English is my second language, so don't be picky on my writing
LMAO, it's so true about the Ryu too!!! I scream " What'd Fuk!!" a lot when I play street fighter volt, but hardly on KOF. KOF surely the advance game for hardcore gamers, This game is surely better, the reason why SF is more popular is because noobs Loves it, the got a " I won't button" Mr ultra there, so they can beat the higher rank player sometimes, whereas in KOF not gona happen lol. I would think many player just gets too fustrated and quit this game. If company wants the game to be more popular they must taking care of the noobs, mojority of players aren't that good, that's probably why SF is alot more success.
Im mixed, I think the reason why people are flocking to SF instead of this is because of the ease of use and ease of winning in SF... any scrub can win Volt tbh, KOF takes skill, and it really bugs some people. I mean people like Police Vietnam (no disrespect to him, just stating facts) would never be as good as he is on the iPhone/pad as he is on Volt, and neither would a lot of people who play on here, I use him because of his style of Guile, now he is good, but the way he plays Guile, My Adon would pick him apart like nothing... in KOF if you werent good on the console, you probably arent gonna be the greatest on iPad/Phone either, and if you think you can use the SF Skills you have on KOF, you are sorely mistaken, clark Steel and Goro Daimon can only do so much, and they nerfed the hell outta Clark on here...
ASH IS NOT A SPAM CHARACTER! HE IS S A DOUCHEBAG, as such you shoudl be playing with him as tho. He is meant to through fireball after fireball, and trap you with that green thingy, Thats his play style, he is meant to get you in and suck you out. I personally love Ash fighters because they go right into using him like that, and don't know I am a former Ash Player in KOFXIII so I know him REALLY well, I can do Death Combos with him with only Drive Meter, because thats the kind of character he is, he builds meter while taking it as well. The problem with Ash is that except for his fireball, his moves all are -8 and above in recovery... thats 8 frames I have to counter-attack, and Any Kyo Player looks at that with a huge smile on his face... Another thing about Ash, which is also my probm with Kula... his DP on block is -40... thats now SECONDS that you have to think about a counter attack, which is godlike to someone like me lol
There are some different from 97-2003, I know many many of chinese people like 97, but really for me I like them all!!!! But I don't play much after 99 cause a lot of people just stop playing in the game room instead they pop in the internet cafe play other games lol, there's just no fun if not enough population of the players.
some character can be a bit hard ya, but surely there's things Ash can do to deal with it got to watch out the move againest kula when 2 ex bar, cause I play kula too I know lol.
Oh I dont doubt it at all lol, Ash is an underappreciated character which annoys me because people use Wesker on UMVC3 and I hate him... I like Ash's style of play, and when I get to on rare occasions play a good one, its always an epic battle, one I dont always win... Kula however, I have NEVER lost an entire fight to a Kula player because no one uses her right (at least those I played) her match up is serverly in her favor against Kyo so I dont see how I win with him, now with Ryo, I can throw fireballs and stop her with his f+k stop move, but Kyo, fuggitaboutit lol
The 15 fps in this game sort of bugs me,but what reallybugs me is that it seems like frames of animation were taken out. The one move where you hold back and sp and she twirls and does the fire attack, your opponent doesn't get knocked up as high and doesn't allow me to combo into something else. Maybe I just suck and I'm doing something wrong.
danm, Vice u #1 already. i practice combos and rushing style in single mode these days. Hopefully, when i feel im good enough, i'll catch up with u Lets have some friendly matched when possible.
I thought that Nagal guy was gonna take my spot lol, hell you are number 7, you wont be long before you hit there lol, Once I get off of work though, I am gonna get in some KOFXIII before hitting back up i-2012. I am working on my Mr. Karate and Ryo, My Ryo on i2012 is horrible...
Idk y no mr. karate in this version. Idont play ps3 kof but i watch alot in from level and dreamcancel.com. I like BALA and Reynal alot. Hopefully i'll be as good as them in iphone version Have u faced the guy who plays Cice supper dang good, i think hes#1or 3
