[Ice-Kun]

Kula Diamond's Slider Shoot (df + B)

Also, Kula's qcf+P is called Diamond Breath.

EDIT: OLUK: Cheers, I'll take your word for it, seeing as "Diamond Dust" is also a pro-wrestling move that Shermie uses

[inFamous]

The Narrow Spike is performed with QCB+K , not DP+P.
At least that's the motion since the introduction of that move in previous KOF.

(Edit OLUK: It certainly is, I'll correct it. Thankyou.)

[Ice-Kun]

There is a Vapor Cannon (qcb+P) followup on Maxima's Maxima Press. Maxima Press Plus?

OLUK: Cheers bud.

[Dredgulus]

The NeoMax videos for Team K' are up. Maxima's combo is a beast, almost 95% damage (give or take a few points.) Follow the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/snkplaymoreGame#p/u/2/5bUwnGP_HGQ

[Ice-Kun]

No Critical Ice for Kula Diamond this year. Though, her CD attack resembles the missing move.

Maxima

Anywhere
Crouch C, qcb + A
Close A, df + C, qcb + A

Made some minor corrections.

I'd like to point out that the ex maxima press followup also can be drive canceledl

I Maxima Press can be still SC'd whereas Ex Maxima Press can be both.

[kengarou]

Made some minor corrections.

I Maxima Press can be still SC'd whereas Ex Maxima Press can be both.

You mean the Maxima press (includes EX version as well)  can be supercanceled?  How about the Maxima press followup (EX too) ? Can it be supercanceled as well?

[kengarou]

Maxima can now combo with his down B !   it is so crucial as it creates this bread and butter combo of his.

Crossup C (optional)  Down B , Down A , df+C , qcb A

Yippee!
