Do you guys recommend this as a good introduction to the series? I'm trying to branch out, but I hated Guilty Gear. From what I can tell this series plays way different and I think it looks really fun!

Yes. dreamcancel.com also has an intro to the game, as well as the game provides a tutorial mode which shows you the basic mechanics.

How's Ash seem to fair, assuming he made a return?

Loved him in XII and XIII. I never understood why so many people hated him. He made for a wonderful villain in my opinion.

I think its the best introduction to the series minus kof98. There's no silly systems like HD mode or anything, most everything is quite straight forward.

Also ash and all those other femboys rule cause they get people riled up somethin fierce.

Is this game worth getting? How does it compare to mkx? Can I actually AA 100% without spending meter? Is there any crazy bs mixups or stupid mids that hit half-screen like mkx?

I'm not sure what to mentally do with the Zarina character. Her neutral animations are...interesting. Like maybe someone should be asking things about "why does she do that" while also asking "why does Nelson insult people for being limp wristed?"

With that said, her animations seem to be on another level than most of the other characters. The overly simplistic and mechanical feel of most of the animations gives way to something a lot more fluid and natural. Her jump animations look really fantastic as far as I'm concerned.

I may have to spend a little time with Z tonight while waiting for MKXL PC Beta do download.

Zarina is fucking amazing.

  • almost all her pokes progress her forward for cornering
  • Good range on all her pokes and fast
  • has with holding down and mashing HP a move that hits and moves her away to end block strings safely or you can choose to hit HK instead to do two lows with forward progressing sweeps. So you can either do sick high low strings or end your blockstring and escape safely.
  • corner carry on her combos are great. Even her mashable lp target combo.
  • HAS A ONE HIT SUPER. This means fuck scaling. This girl can cap her combos with solid damage
  • fast multihit cornering QCB move that works as a punish vs most forms of movement and offense
  • Her forward LK covers half the screen and hits twice
  • Seems like a max mode monster for combos and pressure
Oh and remember the range on her supers are insane making her excellent at punishing stuff or just flat out stuffing things with a wall of flowers.

I'm going to keep picking her for awhile because I think I like her. I don't have a nice bullet list that explains why, but then I'm not good at sort of thing. I'll just plagiarize your list if I need "reasons," but I'm really more about fuzzy feelings.

He s ok but I love the way he looks for now the guy who seem really strong is Geese

I don't think Geese is bad by any stretch but the way people talk him up I just don't get it. Normals are just alright, meterless damage is meh to bad, metered damage in practical combos is pretty average. I mean Geese is badass but he ain't super strong.

Last time Geese was bad in a KOF game was 96 Geese. After that he's been awesome.

Ramon as an anchor is looking beastly at the moment.
