[OrochiLeonaUK]

Can someone spare a brother a name for Takuma's command f + B?

[PureYeti]

Kawara Wari

Edit OLUK: Much love

[How are you doing today?]

Takuma's f+B was an overhead elbow in previous KOF games, but it's now a forward kick (I think, you see it all the time.) Kawara Wari = Tile Splitter, so it's likely that the name is different.

[Running Wild]

Is Robert's "Spirit Charge" what I think it is?

[OrochiLeonaUK]

Is Robert's "Spirit Charge" what I think it is?

Dunno, It was noted on one of the movelist sheets I was working from, but I have been hunting around and havent found anywhere explaining exactly what it is.
If Robert can charge '94 style that'd be old school 

[PureYeti]

Takuma's f+B was an overhead elbow in previous KOF games, but it's now a forward kick (I think, you see it all the time.) Kawara Wari = Tile Splitter, so it's likely that the name is different.

Ah yea you're right, I got confused with f + B to the previous games. OrochiLeonaUK, erase the Kawara Wari please.

(Edit OLUK: meh, cheers anyway)

King of Fighters XIII Presents: NeoMax by Ryo Sakazaki

Nice effect on Ryo's Punch....

King of Fighters XIII Presents: NeoMax by Robert Garcia

Im not feeling Robert's NeoMAX...

King of Fighters XIII Presents: NeoMax by Takuma Sakazaki

TAKUMA IS A MONSTER!!!!!!!.....

[krazykone123]

Robert
The most recent movelists say Robert's Spirit charge (d,d+P) is gone
EX Ryuren Geneikyaku allows follow-up afterward

Takuma
Ashitou Shukuri: (f+B) well that's what I got anyway
Kyokugen Houken: close (hcb+K) is a new move despite it having the same input as shorankyaku
Kyoukugen Ko Ou: (qcf+K) new move, looks a lot like Ryo's Kohken, EX version guard breaks

neomax
Built Upper

I'll add some notes when the Technical Reference video comes out

(EDIT OLUK: Thanks for all your help KK, no spirit charge? gutted.)

[Don Vecta]

Some gameplay notes on Ryo:

fB parry gives the enemy a slight hit stun so Ryo can react to counter with a special attack afterwards.
qcf hcb AC SDM has huge priority and can be used safely as anti-air... kinda like his daddy DM/SDM Ryuko rambu in 98.
df B low parry can negate grounded (normal only?) fireballs like Terry's power wave.

More to add soon.

Someone told me that Robert has a crossup move which is similar to Iori's crossup jump fwd B , can someone tell me how to do that move?

[kengarou]

I need transcript for the entire Art of fighting team BC combo. here is the link
if you mind adding Yuri's as well , sorry if out of topic but Yuri is part of the art of fighting team last time  right?    Regarding about the BC combo , takuma's hard . The part after he does qcf A , he simply dashes, how does he do that?
