A few of my friends and I (about 15 of us) are going to get together and play KOF 2003 and I was wondering, who do you guys think is a better leader: K', or Kyo?

uh it's Ray !!! where the fuck have you been all this time, dude. I sold your Neo to someone and bought it again from him later :D . it's a long story and I had to sell it. but that will never happen again ;). (and it's still in an excellent condition, btw)

as for the subject, this may sound weird: I like K' more as a character, but as a leader, I prefer Kyo.

Kyo is better as a leader because his LDM is much easier to combo into and is all around more useful.

K's LDM is nice, but only links off a couple moves like cC, a tag attack or qcf+P f+D in corner.

That said K' is better in 2k3 without his LDM than Kyo is with his LDM. Better pokes, better keepaway and zoning options and a godly priority jumping D. His combos aren't as long or damaging as Kyo but K has about twice as many useful ways to set up combos than kyo.

Kyo is better than K at rushdown and corner traps, but that's the only distinct advantage he has.

Anway, K is definately the better character in 2k3.

Yeah, I'd choose K as a normal character , then Kyo as the leader.

03 K is way overpowered with that air fireball ^^

Thanks for the input. As for Firebomber, my friends and I might be going to Pinball Petes and was wondering if you were around there, I remember you talking about it a while back.

Kyo would be the best choice. Not because of his LDM, but he has great GUARD CRUSH POTENTIAL of 75 Shiki: Kai.

Yeah I'm in the area now (EMU). I go there frequently. The kof 2k3 cab isn't in that great of condition anymore, but it's playable. Pete's just doesn't fix their stuff often.
Let me know if you go and I'll meet ya there.

Kyo has great guard crush and a super safe combo cB, cA, qcf +BB to get to crush quick, but that only takes you so far. A player that knows how to counter Kyo will be frugal with their stocks so that they can CD counter frequently. If you are expecting it, it's not hard to avoid since you start with 3.

That's cool. Korigama lives around here too so you'll have at least 2 good opponents in kof.

Yeah, K' is greatly cheap in KOF03! :-) Quite an ass kicker!

I luv my 'KOF LEADS' team, having Kyo (leader), K' and Ash together!

On a side note, I noticed K' name is someway derived from Kusanagi Kyo's, and... well, ASH is like in kay-dASH, huh?

Is this their fate, or just a bloody coincidence? ;)

I like to play Shen Woo, but I'm not that great with him,. I need to learn a combo into his LDM. He gets really strong off it, but I think he might dizzy easier, my friend hit me like once or twice. Any thoughts?

You can super cancel into it off of his qcf+A but that's not really practical. Yeah, he does dizzy easier when in LDM mode. Honestly it's too hard to set up a useful situation for the LDM. I'd rather spend the stocks on his normal supers or SCs. They are much more reliable and effective.

Also, I was wondering what your guys' teams are, for fun, or otherwise. I usually use Kyo (Leader), K', and Blue Mary. I don't really got much in the way of tag team attacks (that I know of), but they are very fun.

I use lots of characters depending on what my strategy is.
If I want to abuse the grab off wake up system with grapplers I use Tiz(L), Goro, Clark.
If I want to run the clock/turtle I'll use Malin(L), Duo, Ash
All out offense is K(L), Shen, Gato.

My main competitive team is Iori(L), Duo, Ash. If duo is banned (and he should be :tickled: ) I use Iori(L), Gato, Ash.
