King Of Fighters Thread

Nice to see Athena, Joe, and Shen Woo are all high in tier. I'm pretty familiar with Joe and Athena already but what does Shen Woo's game revolve around?
 
I really wish King was in this game...I want to see her hi-def beauty :(

However, the more vids of this I watch, the more hype I'm getting for this game.

I guess I'll be using Iori, Kyo, with the third spot still up in the air. It'll probably end up being Benimaru but I'll give Ash a shot.

But I want my King damnit.

One thing though, Critical Counters do a SHIT ton of damage considering how fast it builds. It's like an ultra meter that builds while on the offensive.

 
It's totally different from ultras for two reasons.

1. you MUST get a counterhit. SF4 ultras can be comboed into on normal hit
2. there is a TIME LIMIT on CC mode, unlike SF4 ultras, so you can't just turtle and wait for it all day like in SF4

furthermore, every character only has one CC initiator attack, usually a standing C, so you've got some range limitations


even with CCs the damage overall in this game is almost incredibly low when compared to other fighting games like SF4, BB, GGXXAC, etc

Of course, I'm not saying CC was a carbon copy of Ultra, it clearly isn't. I'm just saying it's damage potential is possibly the same (based off the small amount I've seen) as I'm pretty sure as the game gets older, people will find more crazy shit in regards to CC. Also, if activating CC is as simple as landing a counter hit (which isn't exactly hard to do), that's a LOT of damage potential off one counter hit. Then again, I'm reminded of GG (Slayer is an easy example).
