Haven't really had time to play this game in weeks because of school. I think I will try to get online this week, and I'll post on this thread when I start playing. Going to try to go to offline casuals too. I think I might try Kim anchor because I like to start bnbs with lows, and Shen doesn't really have that. Also with Shen I feel like I rely on getting that HD too much, and since I don't know a Kim HD combo, I think that will sort of help me rely on the mechanic less and focus on fundamentals. I think Shen will teach fundamentals just fine, since he excels at a good chunk of it(notably the air and the command grab game). To answer you question, though, why don't you try Flame Iori? I think he helps in learning how to play KOF. Keep missing my cancel into the slide to corner carry them on his combo. Just basic stuff keeps flopping with him for some reason with me. Footsie game is still great with him, but once I try to start doing cancel combos with him I keep dropping them. Basic jump u kick into the slide and I just keep blowing it. I've been choking a lot on my fighters lately though. Could be from not playing for a week or so on some of them to finish some projects up. Just felt like my other two were my strongest characters to begin
