Finally got a session in and im definitely going with Sylvie Daimon and Geese. Daimon is not quite as good as he was in 98 and 02 but hes definitely better then that clunky ass XIII version....wish he still had his running grab though. Also i take but what i said about the game not feeling fresh. That ex mode is cool and adds a huge layer to the game. Its gonna be fun really digging into that.

Geese is awesome. its crazy that they loosened up the raging storm input so much.

I really do not like some retail stores like gamestop, but when online stores continue to drop the ball, it leaves me with little choice. Some games i don't mind waiting a few days for, but other, I WANT THAT SHIT NOW. Gotta bite the bullet sometimes.

Anyway, I hit the lab with Kukri yesterday for a good hour +. Checked out all his normal's and special, and tried to determine which ones were safe and unsafe. Like most, his A and B normal's are pretty + or at least safe on block. c.D and close s. D are pretty safe, and most all of his normal's can be canceled into Nessa Jin (QCF+P) making them safe. Learning how to properly use Genei Saijin (teleport) is going to take some work. But I really like what the character offers so far.

Beat a few more team stories. The endings for those are a fair bit better.

Of the new characters, I'm really liking Mian and Antonov the best. Mian is a lot of fun to play, has a really cool design, and her constantly changing face masks when her arm moves past her face are just really freaking cool. Antonov is a total badass, and has a freaking humidor with extra cigars in his belt. I also like that they didn't make him the classic billionaire bad guy a la Rugal. He's an egomaniac, but is actually a good guy that saves kids and helps others. I like that.

Finally got my copy. Just had my first play through and ny only criticism would be that I completed story mode, on default difficulty, without any continues, on my first play through. I can't say I have ever done that with any other KOF, so the difficulty must have been scaled back quite a bit.

Yeah, the CPU on default is fairly easy, which I'm okay with for beating story mode with teams/players I'm not good at.

I increased it to 5 and the CPU wiped the floor with me.

Ditto holy shit! The first fight was a pain and after that it kept being my anchor terry who would get me through the rest of the fights. Level 5 difficulty makes you really wanna learn though.

Jesus, online is shit. Terry's voice actor is shit.

Edit: party mode actually works well and is pretty sweet.

Kong Kuwata still does Geese's voice.... I'm surprised that 99% of the voices have been changed. :/

You can actually understand most of what Terry says now. You just don't like it because they changed the voice actor.

The real reason to not like him is because he doesn't have his power dunk in this game. I still use him though.

With no power dunk my thumb seems to normally be holding down just in case. Love the random phrases they all say during the fight.

I prefer old Terry's voice, but I also like the new one. MAX busterwolf is my favourite line: "Here is da big one - busta woooooooof"

Am I crazy or does Terry not have a cross up

It's one of the reasons I thought he was nerfed. That, plus loosing his crouch LP > crouch HP target combo from 13, EX crack shot not being overhead anymore, and EX power wave loosing its tricky speed

Instead, he got:

- better far D poke
- LP version of burn knuckle is safe on block
- more efficient combos (more damage, less meter cost)

He may have other advantages but I'm still exploring.

He still has power dunk in the form of a Climax super. He does the same animation if you do it from distance or it gets blocked.
