KOF XIII - Ash Trial 8

[@theseekerofdankness959]

The "easy" part is that there is a lot of repetition, making most of the learning muscle memory based, and that's still hard as fuck. Like look at those directionals, it's like they're having a seizure.

[@SalimOfShadow]

That is very true. In my opinion the hardest part of this trial is delaying the first flashckick after the sans coulette activation

[@RaiTheGrilledCheese]

@ThatGuyWithGlasses not really, it's *kinda* what it seems like due to its easy-to-learn mechanics and useful input buffering rather than 02UM which needs precise input or your combos are going to Brazil

[@Formula_Zero_EX]

@@RaiTheGrilledCheese So, basically KOF XIII is an easy-to-learn, but hard-to-master fighting game. Well, KOF is like that in general.

You guys seem to really enjoy this Kof 13 ash content,tell me if you want me to do a compilation of ash combos on real online matches :)

I’m not even doing the combo and my brain is melting

[@syzonax]

I can't imagine dropping this right at the end lol Nicely done!

[@SalimOfShadow]

The last part (Back D into super) is actually pretty difficult so yes,I've dropped it many times hahaha

[@SalimOfShadow]

Thanks

[@Sceppyo]

God knows how hard the timing on the repeating forward and back charges are, good lord

[@SalimOfShadow]

The green transformation part makes charges move istantsntenous

[@axelmiramontes409]

I wished KOF XV had trails like these

[@axelmiramontes409]

It's funny that SNK dosen't want kof xv trails to be that difficult 🤣

[@darklightjg1]

Yeah this trial is the worst. Took over a week just to get it down even with a lot of prior FG experience and after finally doing it... I will never attempt it again.

[@SalimOfShadow]

Very well done

[@darthelena6785]

My respects.

[@nadjibmalthael3649]

the combo is soo long that you can't even see it all

[@SalimOfShadow]

Haha yes, note that you could have juggled sans coulette another time,but they were kind enough to stop it there

[@Junin671]

Pro`s from another games, like punk and JW are doing these trials...

[@vocalcalibration8033]

Good god.

[@theolanderdilag3872]

How do you do that second part lf the combo? Is there any tips or shortcuts

[@SalimOfShadow]

I suggest double tapping the back D so that even if you accidentally get an up back D,there's a chance at least one of the 2 inputs lands on Back D... Also if you're getting an HD cancel into QCB B or D it means you're not doing the right inputs so you have to revision them

[@SalimOfShadow]

The best way to learn this is by finding the right setup to practice it. Go to practice mode and select a trial that already starts you on the corner (10 for example),then do a roll followed by a sans coulette activation,after the opponent gets launched in the air,you do a light flashckick and then you can start practicing the d.u D back D d.u B back D d.u B loop without having to learn how to time the juggle... Also another one is doing the same loop from point blank using one rep of dp back D dp back D dp with only light dps,that also gives you the right height to practice the loop without timing it... This trials is very unforgiving with inputs,you have to find the rhythm...

[@DIVISIONBYZEROE]

Can u do this in an actual match?

[@SalimOfShadow]

Yes,i have already did harder ones online

[@hikari4798]

I was just searching for Ash combos cause I wanted to play him better. Now I feel scared bro wtf how did you do this?! 😭

[@dragonic22]

This took me way too long to do

[@SalimOfShadow]

I feel you hahaha

[@identitygameruwu3132]

Can you make Ash move ?

[@HoDoBoDo]

People say KOF XIII is hard, but once you break it down...it's really easy. This game is really lenient on cancel window's and buffering. Idk why it's regarded as a hard game tbh.

[@SalimOfShadow]

Yes and no,for sure KOF has a very lenient cancel buffer,but for some stuff the precision and speed of the motions is extraordinarily hard to nail. For example:Ash sans coulette combos/microwalk stuff,Regular Kyo sideswitch optimal combos,Ex iori free cancelling (not the infinite necessarily) Saiki hyper hop istant 4B more than 3 times,Athena ridiculous precise combos etcetera etcetera... There is no quote on quote "hard" fighting games,it just comes down to the level of play you're looking at,high level KOF (especially 13) can be absurdly hard for a number of reasons,that said a much slower and cheesable game like Street Fighter 4 still requires you to play high level footsies and oh boy is it hard played at proper level... KOF 13 execution is mediocre,but there are still stuff that are so hard that to this day,only 1/2 person can pull off consistently... Took me 2 years to master ash, combos,setups,crossups,specing stuff,mid combo run etcetera,and that character is the hardest in the game, though after you learn that,anything in the entire game but the free cancel is a walk in the park.

question time: are the combos actually shown in these trials at all true because if so what the fuck

[@SalimOfShadow]

Ofc this is an easy one compared to some of the more recent one I've made a video for

[@FewRxi]

Idk how the fuck can it be doable to combo charged attacks I've never been able since it takes atleast 2bseconds of charging the joystick before it successfully marks the move it not it just jumps

[@SalimOfShadow]

Downback Upforward is considered both a DP and a sonic boom motion

[@SalimOfShadow]

And it take 1/3 of a second to charge on kof...Also the buffer is hugo so it's rather easy

[@FewRxi]

@@SalimOfShadow I've never been able to combo 2 charged attacks, I mean like leona's du+c with df+b The time u have before the hit isn't cancel-able its like 1/4 of a second in that time you need to df+b idk I feel like that kinda combos are just macros

[@SalimOfShadow]

@@FewRxi the correct motion i use is down back,up back punch immediately followed by a up forward kick,the timing is way faster than Ash's one,but it's essential to learn how to play leona... I have both ash and Leona on my team... I suggest you check out ShortFuse's leona trial tutorial,he explains everything there is to know
