KOF XIII Great Tutorial For Beginners



I have to admit: I love The King of Fighters XIII more than Street Fighter IV. But I also hate it for how hard it is to be good at this game. It has deep fighting mechanics, cool character design, beautiful animated sprites, and exciting matches to watch even if the viewer has no idea what just happened (such as a combo chain that never seems to end which depletes the opponent's health bar from full to almost none left). But to be good enough to even compete, you must be really good at it, like really, really good. Forget about the cancels, neo max, and the combo challenges. Just by trying out the game's tutorial, one realizes that the game has four types of jumps. Four! Street Fighter only has 1!

So, how does one start to learn about the game? Fortunately, I came across this amazing tutorial online that breaks down the game's mechanic into terms that are easy to understand. On top of that, the video is humorous. All that is required now is to practice the stuff presented in the tutorial over and over again. Now, if only I could find where I last stashed my Mad Catz Fightstick...
