How can you use mere words to describe total perfection.

Uhm, why is the KOFXIII entry blank except for images? Short answer - it was never completed. I never got the time to sit down long enough with the game to give it a proper appraisal. We added an entry with the screens when we redid the formatting for the whole article, but we're still waiting to get a proper review in there.

Oh in that case I can do it. There's a lot to say about how the game is incredible in every way despite having a story mode so poorly implemented it makes Plumbers Don't Wear Ties look like Planescape: Torment.

God I love KOF XIII
It's so awesome. But it's nice to see that someone else has problems with the story mode.
I still haven't reached the ending I don't think. I can't even tell if I did.

That story mode really is as bad as they get.
I just bought the Steam version during the sale, but it's unplayable because it got at least a quarter second input lag.
We also still need a few words on the horrendous movie and KOF Sky Stage for the article.

I'm doing XIII itself along with the extremely good iOS port, and can write about the movie, but someone else has to do Sky Stage because I don't have a 360 anymore. I love that KoF movie ti's so bad. :I like how Ray Park's final areas/fights are subtly like Mr. Big, and then Geese briefly. The woman who plays Vice, Bernice Liu is cool as hell though and actually plays King of Fighters in real life. Also the guy they cast as Kyo AAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA I'm trying to find the sprite sheet, but at one point they actually revealed the original sprite set they were going with before they redid everything from scratch. They were a bit more Guilty Gear ish, flatter looking. But I'm glad they went with the gradiented coloring instead because it's what makes KoF unique visually compared to other SNK stuff and most other fighting games in general. They were going to have Mai, Vice, etc. made available as DLC if the game did well but it did not. I believe there is some place holder data (like basically a template for character potrait, etc.) space for them on the 360 disk. KoFXIII actually had fairly decent netcode on PS3 at least, but the PC version is pretty bad and KoF XII was pretty much unplayable.

I have the PSP version of Sky Stage (which includes the original game and an enhanced version) but it's so boring.

It's basically every Psikyo shmup, yeah. There's the rhythm game also but like all phone games of that kind it's a huge ripoff with you have to pay for almost all of the content. Man, King of Fighters XIII is so good though, it's definitely my favorite fighting game of this generation. Weirdly of the 3D fighters, Dead or Alive 5 ended up being the most impressive and the support for it has been great.

Rhythm of Fighters is available for free now, as is the iOS port of XIII.
And Sky Stage/Neo Geo Heroes is more or less Castle of Shikigami with KoF/SNK characters. It is now running perfectly (as it can be) on PPSSPP.

2002 Unlimited Match on Steam too. Probably because it was easier and more convenient to port, it's based on the XBLA version, so no features of the PS2 version, including the original Neo Geo version of the game - this is a bit jaring if you consider that '98 Ultimate has this option instead.
