http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/249/249137/So the KOF13 press conference has come and gone! Lots of new info and lots of new character reveals today, so here’s a quick summary of what … uh, I have time to write, because I was too busy playing Virtua Fighter tonight!
※ KOF13 will be at Super Battle Opera this year, as a category C title. The official website mentions that it will be a festival style game, but I have no idea what that means other than it’ll be similar in structure to the category B games, which are also considered festival style titles.
※ There are a total of 31 characters, although not everyone is known yet. The roster so far is:
Ash
Kyo – Beni – Goro
Terry – Andy – Joe
Liz – Duo – Shen
Kim – Rayden – ??? (Billy or Hwa-Jai?)
King – Mai – Yuri
??? – ??? – ??? (Ran – Chat – Sai?)
Ryo – Robert – ??? (Takuma?)
Iori – Mature – ??? (Vice?)
Athena – Kensou – Chin
Ralf – Clark – Leona
※ EX Specials and EX SDMs are in the game, which change the properties of those moves similar to what happens in SF3 and SF4.
※ New to the game is the Hyperdrive Mode, which works similar to 2002’s MAX Mode. When the drive meter is at MAX, you can go into the Hyper Drive mode which lets you do infinite drive cancels for a limited time. What’s a Drive Cancel? Well it’s a technique that allows players to cancel a special or super into another one.
