Ah I don't think he means you (if you are still playing it). The few others who posted around. I also believed the thread would of been a bit more active when the game was released, but then we can't forget that this is a DOA forum. Some players just wanted to try the game just for fun and then going back into the other threads.

It's quite fast paced; you have to be quick at adapting. Also, knowing how to zone, and effectively space goes a long way. I won't say it's easy, but over time you get use to it. Characters/combo's aren't difficult to learn in this iteration.
It's really a fun game; and the netcode is amazing compared to most FG's.

I feel like the only person who uses Kim. I still haven't ran into another Kim player online yet.

I dunno if she's different but in the old games her inputs were REALLY complicated.
By the way did they ever change her back story since it was originally tied directly to k9999

Kim has always been a boring character to me, but gameplay wise I think he's always been really strong.

Angel isn't really complicated at all, she simply follows a Rekka combination like Karin in SF and Kyo. What's complicated is how you freestyle it into doing damage with that and her specials.

I dunno wtf rekka is but to be fair I'm just rembering trying her years ago, and I tend to use characters with really basic inputs.

A Rekka is basically like Iori's 3 hit special attack or Mature's, except they have more commands that can follow up from them.
Angel's is like Kyo's or Karins in which they start off from a single move, but have different middles and enders. What makes Angel's "complicated" is the fact she is a pure Rekka character and only has 2 specials that don't require a Rekka to get through.

Oh okay I get cha. Those "multiple choice combo specials" kinda like Marths side special in smash bros.
Yeah back when I tried kof 2002 or whatever I could not understand why none of her moves would come out XD.
Still looking at this game going "should I?"
Its not something I'll ever dedicate myself to so just casual play but I do like the characters.
its a shame that the combo system was toned down. I miss Athena's butt loops. </3

XIII's HD system was one of the things that players grew to dislike about the game though. Combined with how much more hop happy it was compared to other games like 2k2 and 98, it made the game much more about landing these big HD cancel combos.
XIV's Max mode reduces that and makes itself much more useful in the neutral than HD mode. It's part of the myriad of things that makes the game less like XIII and more like 2k2/98.
Only thing about this game that makes me sad is Sylvie is garb. I though silly looking characters were suppose to be broken T_T
Also online seems kinda dead.

Wow, I'm kinda surprised at how low Joe is on the tier list.
