February 18th - King of Fighters XIII

Today we played King of Fighters XIII which is much like NeoGeo Battle Coliseum in that it takes a bunch of SNK characters and meshes them together in to one game. In this one, you play as teams of three. There's no tagging though, you pick the order you want and once one is defeated, the other comes out. Once all three are defeated, you've won the round.



We tied 6-6, although I was using a handicap. It's appropriate now with the injured hand! Some fights were pretty down to the wire and even the ones I lost I overall did pretty well. EXCEPT for one fight when he used King and beat three of my characters with his one. I have no idea why he's so good with characters named King, but it is annoying! Overall I think I am improving and getting a handle on things more now. Not always, but I'm better at KoF XIII than when I last played it.



It's a fun game. Not a button masher game though, you need some precise inputs and a lot of arrow button pushes. I like Athena and her PSYCHO BALL~~ Which I actually managed to pull out a few times. She glitters and everything. I also found out she's unlockable in NeoGeo battle coliseum and you can bet I'm going to go back and play it again and unlock her. PSYCHO BALL
