I feel like more fighting games should explain buffering inputs and shortcuts the way you do. I could not figure out trials like this year's cuz I didn't know the hidden tech. Thank you is what I'm saying.
It should be really intuitive though. The design of the supers motions even shows buffered quarter circles in them lol. Maybe I'm spoiled because the old JRPG legend of Legaia was based entirely around combo buffer logic to stuff in special attacks.
@@kageyame I believe even Vesper ranked these trials as super hard. He wrote in the descriptions of his kof 13 trial videos (or at least one of them) that if he had to rank fighting game trials from 1-10 he gave kof 13 a 10 and almost every other game was like below 5. I think Blazblue was the only game in between.
@@zanpakutoman4225 BlazBlue was 9 IIRC, every other is below 5. And Leona is the second hardest trial, (Only Ash is worse, thanks to stricter times on his cancels).
To anyone that would be interested in 13 but worried because they think it'll be "too hard." The game really is generous with how it handles inputs. The trials are mostly made to be impractical (they are actually trials), and ask a lot more of you than is actually typically required for practical combos. For example, many trials involve tight links that are rarely if ever used in real matches, or have sequences of moves that require odd timing or difficult execution to connect. These sort of things aren't typically necessary for most characters' BnBs or HD combos. For a specific example, take Terry's trial that requires you to cancel Rising Tackle directly into Power Geyser. This cancel is NEVER used in actual play. For the same or fewer resources, you can do similar or better damage from a rising tackle with a much easier route, e.g. Rising Tackle DC qcb+D j.C or EX Rising Tackle.
EX Rising Tackle is a terrible move to use in combos because of how the meter economy and combo scaling of the game work. You'd be much better off with, say, a reset into EX Power Wave if you're just dying to spend the bar.
@@liquidglitch1244 what makes terry notable in difficulty is his rising tackle into geyser cancel, its hard even with the shortcut, but it's only useful in this game and maybe in 02Um but you can live without it, everything else is just standard stuff
I think I actually enjoyed other characters just by playing their trials. Benimaru was a character that I knew FOR SURE that I would never play, but 30-45 minutes into his trials, and I realized how fun that character actually is. But yeah....these trials will take it out of ya. ALL OF IT
Please realize you don't have to do these combos to actually play KOF 13, they're just fun trials to test yourself and to show how far you can go if you want. There's no way anyone was hitting these combos online against human opponents.

Pff Terry has many games from the 90's Neo Geo. "Fatal Fury", "Garao: Mark of the Wolf" and this one. The King of Fighters franchise is like Marvel's UCM, bcs the game has all the characters of SNK's games like Terry's Team (Fatal Fury), Athena's Team (Psycho Soldiers), Ikari Warriors (Metal Slug), Sakazaki's family (Art of Fighting), etc.
@@Guitar-Dog Arcana Heart has that. Yoriko the witch girl, has a command which requires her to enter a chanting stance and draw a pentagram to unleash an ultra powerful super. If I remember correctly Each simbol she draws gives her a certain buff but the Pentagram was a requirement for her strongest super. ua-cam.com/video/iTVfwL_Ou4w/v-deo.html
What makes these trails very difficult for me is the timing between the jumping attacks and the first hour afterwards. That and also, there's no tolerance for the qcf inputs - They need to be inputted perfectly, including the diagonal inputs, which can be difficult on pad
I think, Máxima, Vice and Clark are the easiest. Def Ash and Leona are the hardest and up there maybe K', Chin and Mature bc her trials are really long but not difficult.
After watching so many people in the FGC attempt these trials, one thing stands out clearly regarding what separates the noobs to KOF from the veterans: whether or not they know the abbreviated and alternate inputs.
It's crazy to me that the FGC is just now learning about KOFXIII. I'm loving watching all these pros struggle though. lol. This is why they say "if you can play KOF, you can play anything".
@@reee339 yeah. Those combos were pretty helpful teaching how the characters work. I just found Geese's trials particularly tricky and Leona. Mainly because the timing for some combos
Good stuff!! I LOVE the visuals of the game! I remember watching Reynolds plus the other competitors play this at EVO. It looked so fun! I played it for awhile and tried the trials. It was tough! I'll have to revisit it. Love your channel! 💯
I remember I struggled with the Daimon's AAB (BC) AAB too, took me a long time until I figured out I had to change the input timing (input between B and BC needs to speed up a little bit) to make it work.
Kof 13 is one of my favourite fighting games of all time just love playing this game its trials are hard especially Ash Leona Takuma and Duolon were really hard and it was a fun game to play on Xbox 360 & Steam and watching this game's tournaments was a total blast
2:35 And here we have our first example of something that looks way harder than it actually is to someone not familiar with SNK's (relatively modern) input buffer. It's actually even simpler than the notation in Furix's message, as long as your Rising Tackle input includes 4 on the way to 8 you can just input 6+A/C after the Tackle and that alone will give you the super. The tl;dr of why it works that way is because SNK supers (and even most specials) actually don't care at all about diagonals, the game only requires you to hit the straight ones with appropriate timing. For this reason you can actually shortcut Terry's Power Geyser as 2146 and it'll work. 3:46 Actually the majority of the attempts shown here involve the drive cancels being performed too early, not the other way around. This is kind of a Terry-specific thing, he's not the only character who makes use of staggered inputs but he suffers the most without them and gains less for learning the timing than other characters (Such as Claw Iori, who has a considerably less difficult but also more damaging corner loop)
10:29 Hmm, seems you managed to get this one easily enough. The real cheese method for doing this combo (granted the game doesn't suggest it) would be to include Daimon's special roll as a buffer, I.E cancel 3C into 214B/D but input it as 63214+B/D, then do 63214+A/C for the super. This is basically why he even has the move in the first place, it's primary purpose (usually, XIII happened to give him an HD loop because of it but that was more incidental than anything else) is to make it easier for him to buffer into his various command grabs off successful hits while occasionally serving in neutral as a means to perform KoF's equivalent of a kara throw.
"These combo trials in KoF13 are legendarily some of the most difficult in the genre." Oh, good. So it's not just me. I have fun with this, but I'm not good enough to play online against people who actually know what they're doing.

everyone complaining about the amount of inputs in these combos but these combo trails were the tip of the iceberg. The toughest trails in kof13 are leona and ash crimson by a long shot because they are charge characters and you have to input downback into upback to forward up which can input 2 charge inputs. Also before using your stored charge, you can micro move and use up the charge at the same time, ash uses that alot in his trails. There are trails that require lots muscle memory and tight links. I can't give alot of examples but there is takuma's trail 7 which I am stuck in. I don't think I can give more examples but you get the idea.
1. The game does not check the combo very strictly so you can add extra moves into the combo to make it easier as long as the combo connects. So for the earlier ones you can activate in between and special cancel some in between moves and the trials become very trivial. 2. The trials are not sorted by difficulty level but the meters required to complete. 3. One of the hardest trial, for no reason at all, is Elizabeth's 2nd trial. Everything looks simple and easy, except it just doesn't link up...

Always a good time watching your content thanks dude. Man I had no clue these input shortcuts even existed! Wonder if kof15 will have anything near this level?
Most characters seem to have a sequence like LP LP LP HD LK LK LK somewhere in their combo trials. I've seen ones that do stuff like 2LK 2LK 5LK HD HP, too. To me they're by far the hardest aspect of these trials, other than maybe the elaborate cancels that you have to look up shortcuts for on the internet to get. They went a long way into scaring me out of not just KOF, but other games with no normal buffer like Skullgirls, though I did eventually end up trying out Skullgirls and KOF 2002UM later on.

Never touched a kof game before but this seems so so so satisfying
I can't even comprehend how your supposed to quarter circle back and still have to hold down for rising tackle cancel loops
@ 2:54 can someone explain me the Numbers, that the Guy Put in the Chat?
Just started my journey with the Arcade Stick, and i am struggling with the Trials :E

@@jmcrofts thx man!
man i love the graphics from KOF13
Idk virtual fighter 4 has some real complicated inputs too especially when it came to the Akira Yuki character 👀.
Nice, your combo trial content is my favorite of yours
It gets hard asf until you realize the repetition and timing is what makes the combo difficult. I learned that from Kenzou after I did his 10 trials
What’s meaning of the numbers in “21478 LP 741235 P”? At 2:51
Game was a huge flex for me in high school
I subbed Bc of this, can’t wait to see something like this again
This makes me want to download the game again on crack and do the trials with my keyboard.
Let’s do UniClr next 👀
... I can’t see the LIGHT, Londrekia!”
XD
Aw man I was so excited about this series, any plans on revisiting? I obviously understand if not, these combos are pretty bonkers
Hello new sub here. Back in the good old days, I play KoF 10th anniversary and still didn't understand number combos. Great vid btw
6:31 the disappointment
from 😄 to 😟
After seeing Jwong quit in the middle of one, I was like uggghhhhh
I just love kof cancel combos.
It's one of the funniest mechanics I experience in fighting games.
I really hope these mechanic come back for 15 I wasn't a big fan of 14's bar system
Me, a KOF noob: 3 hit combo
KOF pros: *30-50 hit combos*
Me who’s happy with my 3 hit combo 😶
Nice job JM. This was a fun watch
I'm confused, can someone explain what furix211 is talking about at 2:52
glossary.infil.net/?t=Numpad%20Notation
Many kudos for persistence, mate!
KOF 13 is still one of the most beautiful looking fighting game ever
I tried them as my first combo trial ever. I'm glad i wasn't the only one struggling.
Funfact: when trying to figure out what DLC character they should add in smash sakarai asked his employees how could they make one of the least fun DLC characters to play. One of them suggested Terry.
no shot
So happy to help my brother with this one! lol
“Flip the controller in the air two times”
RCD world..I got u man..
Maximilian considers KOF13 the Dark Souls of Fighting Games and it’s accurate asf!
Idk if I’d say it’s the Dark Souls of fighting games considering how easy it is compared to any other KOF.
Lol Justin Wong struggled with a lot of these but I couldn’t learn about it-like that trick for terry’s combos, because dude already knows all that stuff. All that to say this; I really hope you do more of these so I can learn more stuff like that 👍
I remember that video w/ bala and that commentator "the corner combo" with joe higashi
6:30 Ah yes my favorite cancel, relief into realization
Always a good time watching your content thanks dude. Man I had no clue these input shortcuts even existed! Wonder if kof15 will have anything near this level?
Most characters seem to have a sequence like LP LP LP HD LK LK LK somewhere in their combo trials. I've seen ones that do stuff like 2LK 2LK 5LK HD HP, too. To me they're by far the hardest aspect of these trials, other than maybe the elaborate cancels that you have to look up shortcuts for on the internet to get. They went a long way into scaring me out of not just KOF, but other games with no normal buffer like Skullgirls, though I did eventually end up trying out Skullgirls and KOF 2002UM later on.
Going to hd from lights is an important thing on this game especialy with anchor character ans yeah its one of the hardest thing to pull on a real match!
1:05 oooohhh you are soooooo wrong
Can someone please explain the 21478 from Furix211.
That ash trial looks like the equation for making a time machine.
I thought you were just a voice then I noticed the facecam 1:44 seconds into the video
KOF 13 is the Dark Souls of Fighting Games in terms of trials
More like a no hit dark souls run
They really stole nearly all of Terry's moves from smash bros🤯
Terry's been around before smash bros existed. Not ruining the joke, just saying
@@misterjersey5460 are you stupid he's from smash bros
@@misterjersey5460 nope, you just ruin it.
@@naboo12312 I see, a true man of culture😎
cant believe they gave him his own series
Finally another COMBO trail JM CLASSIC!!!!!!
I couldn't even beat the KoF tutorial, to play the actual game.
13:30
Random tip if anyone runs into it. for Terry's 3CxSuper. You can do 2143C 26P And it's much easier
I really need to play KoF XIII
Terry has always been my main, so it was nice seeing him get some love
@jmcrofts they have ratio rules in place for KOF 13... Might we see some ratio tourney action sooon?
I used to day dream of quitting my job to be a pro at fighting games. Then I played a KOF. That dream was buried
This and MvC2 have the most difficult combos but in very different ways
