Introduction

After that disaster we got known as King of Fighters 12, SNK Playmore redeemed itself with the release of King of Fighters 13 which proves that KOF 12 was an incomplete game and KOF13 is the complete version of it as all characters that missed the cut (left out is more like it) from the previous game. If you got the XBOX 360 version of KOF 12, you can see all the character data that went into the making of KOF13.

Why will KOF13 be better? They got a ton of things that'll put KOF12 to shame such as more special moves, EX moves, and the all-too-cool NeoMax moves that'll blow you away.

Story

Magaki was slain by Shion's spear, and Shion vanished into the dimensional rift. Then other members of the group Heidern was tracking suddenly appeared and vanished, as if to mock Heidern and his team. Who are "Those From the Distant Land," and why are they so persistent in their pursuit of the power of Orochi?

Meanwhile, Ash Crimson, having obtained Kagura's power, chose to ignore Elisabeth's cautions and took on Iori Yagami's power.

Yata was defeated, and Yasakani has fallen. Only one of the Three Sacred Treasures remains: the Sword of Kusanagi. However, Kyo Kusanagi suffered a major injury at the hands of Yagami, who had been overtaken by the power of the revitalized Orochi.

Time has passed...

With these recent incidents, it was feared that the next King of Fighters tournament would never happen. However, thanks to an unheard-of amount of promotion by a mysterious party, the KoF will be held on an unprecedented scale.

Neo Max	Fructidor	close, (f, df, d, db, b)x2 + LK + HK	480/288 (SC)

Note: Sans-Culotte reduces damage dealt when active thus SC is noted.

Récompenses: Ash gives his opponent the "claw" then burst flames on them.

Floreal: It's just a forward spinning kick that catches opponents by surprise.

Floreal (Kouhou): Same as above except Ash travels backwards in the process.

Ventose: Sends a green fireball. Weak version looks a green version of Deejay's Max Out from Street Fighter series. The strong version has him doing a slightly bigger fireball. EX version throws the Weak followed by the Strong version.

Nivose: almost like a Flash Kick but it looks similar to Elena's anti-air move from Street Fighter 3. Weak version hits up to 2 times and Strong hits 3 times. The EX version hits 4 times.

Germinal Caprice: Ash dashes across the screen. Weak version travels half the screen. Strong version travels nearly full screen but won't hit if the opponent is at the very end of the screen. EX version is same as Strong version except it hits 3 times.

Génie: Ash blowing a kiss at the opponent that produces a green fireball in a different area of the screen depending on the button pressed. EX version makes him blow a more powerful fireball that hits 3 times on contact.

Thermidor: Not a recomended move to use in the fight. Ash will produce a big round fireball and throw it at the opponent. Not as effective as it used to be before KOF12.

Pluviose: A series of 3 Nivoses. EX version does 4 Nivoses.

San-culotte: Surrounds Ash in a green pillar. It is back to being effective as it was before with charge times being eliminated altogether while active (Ash is surrounded by the green cloak). It consumes 2 gauges and it reduce the damage of other special moves.

Germinal: Same as Germinal Caprise except when it hits, it seals the opponents, super meter and prevents special moves for 8 seconds. It also travels full screen.

Fructidor: Ash grabs the opponet and surrounds both himself and the opponent with a giant pillar of purple flames as Ash laughs hysterically.

Notes

Ash gains the Germinal Caprice and Fructidor. He also regains the Germinal.

Much like Germinal was gained from Chizuru, Fructidor is gained from Iori somewhat.

Notes

He fights like his NESTS self which means instead of a ground fireball, he uses chain combos.

Maboroshi Mu Kyaku: Has got to be the most cheapest move in the game. Duo Lon sticks his foot in the ground and it kicks the opponent wherever they stand. The air version is not so cheap. EX version can launch opponent forward or backwards depending on how close they are. Air EX doesn't launch.

Hiden Genmu Ju-on Shikon Hafuri: Duo Lon sinks into the ground and if the shadows touch the opponent, they get dragged with them and get spit out by a bunch of souls.

Notes

Maboroshi Mu Kyaku is still cheap and will always will be and like before, it will do no tick damage.

• Bakuten increases damage of attacks when active

Fuku Mu Ken: Shen Woo grabs the opponent, does two headbutts followed by a massive headbutt.

Fusen Kyaku: a front snap kick

Tenrenken: Has him doing a lunging uppercut. Can be used as a follow up to a Gekiken or a Tamaken but you got to be quick. You can follow it up with a EX Tatsu! Geki Ken. EX version hits twice.

Gekiken: The Burn Knuckle type move except he slides forward instead of lunging. He can charge it up and cause the almost the same amount of damage as his DM version if charged to the MAX. He can fake it or follow it up with a Tenrenken. EX version make Shen invincible.

Fuku Tora Geki: A standing axe handle and the Kanyuu Ryugeki is the follow up upper axe handle swing. EX launches opponent.

Tamaken: A command grab that punches the opponent away. EX version makes opponents crumple.

Tamaken (Hajiki): Reflects enemy fireballs.

Tatsu! Geki Ken: A souped up version of his Gekiken but he does only 20 pts of damage more than the fully charged Gekiken but at least you can charge it up. Normal version can't follow Tenrenken anymore but the EX version still can.

Bakuten: Surrounds Shen Woo with a pillar of flames that can damage the opponent if too close.

Tensho Bakushingeki: Launches opponents with an uppercut followed by an explosion.

Notes

Bakuten is now useful again. It adds damage to all subsequent attacks for a few seconds.

Shen gets back his Hajiki.

Story

As summer drew near in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere was about to catch its last glimpses of autumn. And even faster than the new season's arrival, a young man was traveling the world. But his journey would soon come to an end.

Nearby a man plied his craft on a bandoneon and cranked out an Argentine tango that was heard in this back alley.The fact that he'd been in this country for over a month but had not yet learned a single step meant that Benimaru would surely mock him, but the young man didn't come here for dance lessons.

He whistled along with the music and made his way up the neon-hued back alley with a hand jammed in the pocket of his leather jacket.

Then... The young man suddenly jumped back.

Kyo Kusanagi: ......

He dropped the knapsack slung over his shoulder and raised his fists. A thin red line of blood materialized on his cheek.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...Who are you guys?

The young man called out in a low voice as he stood seemingly poised to attack the darkness.

Shroom: ...Kyo Kusanagi, I presume?

A tall and slim youth with a mushroom cut emerged from the shadows and adressed the target of his attack with an air of arrogance. Along with him was a short bob-haired girl who huddled unusually close. Both of them had sickly pale skin that stood in stark contrast with their unnaturally dark eyes.

Kyo Kusanagi: I recognize this feeling.

As he looked at the two, the young man--Kyo Kusanagi--gently pressed the wound on his cheek.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...You're part of that whatever group, huh? What the hell do you want with me?

Shroom: ......

The young man did not answer Kyo's question, but sat there and toyed with some sort of string. Kyo squinted to see what the young boy was playing with. It was a black leather eyepatch. When he realized what the item was, the image of a certain one-eyed mercenary veteran immediately appeared in Kyo's mind. If that eyepatch was from where Kyo thought it was, then this young man must be very skilled. The boy's build was much too thin to be that of a martial artist, but Kyo had fought enough to know that his frail, slight body could still hold some extraordinary power.

Kyo Kusanagi: I see, so you're not just a sewer rat. ...Still, what business do you have with me? If you're just gonna stay silent, then get outta my way.

Shroom: Heh. You're full of energy, but that's it.

The young boy mockingly put the eyepatch on his right eye and pointed at Kyo with his right hand.

Shroom: ...This is the first time we've met, but it seems I miscalculated you, Kyo Kusanagi. I didn't think the successor to the "sword" was this weak.

The boy and girl shared a laugh after gesturing at the cut they gave Kyo with their surprise attack. Kyo didn't show any anger in response to their taunts. Instead, he smiled.

Kyo Kusanagi: You're about 100 years too young to be talking smack to me, kid.

Shroom: What--

Kyo Kusanagi: Seriously? You haven't noticed yet?

Now it was Kyo who pointed at the young man. Around his chest, the summer sweater he was wearing had turned to white ash.

Shroom: ...!

The look on the the boy's face tensed up in shock. He now realized that the moment he attacked, Kyo not only dodged, but let out an immensely accurate counter-attack. More importantly, he realized that if Kyo was serious, he likely wouldn't be alive to have this conversation...

The tone of contempt had now completely disappeared from the boy's voice.

Shroom: ...So now I've miscalculated you twice. You are better than I thought.

Kyo Kusanagi: I'm glad that you can see that now.

Kyo rolled his neck and smiled.

Kyo Kusanagi: Then, I guess it's my turn!

Shroom: Wait.

The moment before Kyo started to close the gap, the boy tossed Kyo an object.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...?

A confused look made its way across Kyo's face. A white envelope bearing a red seal with the letter "R" pressed into it... This object was familiar to him.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...Why do you have this?

Shroom: We wanted to make sure you showed up, so we came to hand you this invitation personally. ...But of course, it seems like this was an unnecessary precaution.

With that, the mushroom-haired youth and his silent partner backed away.

"I gave you the invitation, Kyo Kusanagi. The guy you're looking for will most likely be there. ...We'll see how you do."

Kyo Kusanagi: You just shut up.

As the two disappeared into the darkness, Kyo stared at the invitation. He didn't need to break the seal; he knew what was written inside. Kyo stuffed the envelope in his knapsack and smiled.

Kyo Kusanagi: Well, as long as it'll get me fired up. I'm gonna beat that punk to a pulp.

While he waited for the light, Benimaru started up a conversation with Kyo.

Benimaru Nikaido: So, you going to visit Shingo at the hospital?"

Kyo Kusanagi: There's no need for that.

Benimaru Nikaido: How about Chizuru? I heard Yagami visited her.

Kyo Kusanagi: There's definitely no need for that.

Kyo stifled a yawn after he bluntly ended the conversation.Just an hour before, Benimaru and Daimon were reunited with Kyo Kusanagi at the airport. For better or for worse, he was the same as before: standoffish and childish. He left the country to train, but it seems that the only thing that he improved was his physique.

Benimaru made eye contact with Goro Daimon through the back mirror and shot him a knowing smile.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...What?

Kyo shot Benimaru a cold glance from the side.

Benimaru Nikaido: What do you mean, "What?"

Kyo Kusanagi: You just laughed, didn't you?

Benimaru Nikaido: No I didn't.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...Hmph.

As Kyo reclined the passenger seat back, he gazed out the window.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...Hey Daimon.

Goro Daimon: What is it, Kyo?

Kyo Kusanagi: What about your job?

Goro Daimon: I am always a judoka. You don't have to worry about me.

As Benimaru stepped on the accelerator, he chimed in.

Benimaru Nikaido: Goro here is taking a break from his teaching duties until the tournament is over.

Kyo Kusanagi: Hmmm. So I guess you can't lose, for the sake of your students' reputations.

Goro Daimon: Of course I won't. ...It's the same for you, right? None of us can accept being defeated here.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...Yeah.

Greenery zoomed by in a blur in Kyo's view. Kyo smiled weakly.

Kyo Kusanagi: ...Hey, Benimaru, Daimon.

Benimaru Nikaido: What?

Kyo Kusanagi: It's a bit late to be asking, but are you sure?

Goro Daimon: About what?

Kyo Kusanagi: About entering this tournament. I don't know who's holding it, but the guys pulling the strings are those punks."

Those From the Distant Land--Benimaru and Daimon had both have encountered the group in the previous tournaments. They are quite aware of this group's capabilities. Neither Benimaru nor Daimon so much as flinched.

Benimaru Nikaido: Well, I figured as much.

Benimaru said as he smiled cooly.

Benimaru Nikaido: The stronger they are, the more fun the fight will be.

With his huge arms folded, Daimon gave a big smile.

Goro Daimon: ...It WAS a bit late, wasn't it?"

Benimaru Nikaido: Hrm. Late it is."

Kyo Kusanagi: Shut up.

Kyo closed his eyes and sulked. When the young man returned to his homeland, the northern hemisphere was definitely in the heart of summer. The summer heat was warming up their spirits.The same friends, the same summer, and maybe that man will be... That was all it took to start Kyo's fire burning.

Issetsu Seoi Nage: Kyo slams the opponent then drops the elbow on them

Shiki Goufu You: Standing axe kick that works as an overhead.

88 Shiki: Double low kick.

Geshiki Naraku Otoshi: Diving elbow drop.

Yami Barai: Famous ground fireball. The weak is slow and the strong is faster. EX version knocks down.

Oniyaki: is a spiraling uppercut that has a lot of priority. Weak is low and hits twice if close. Strong is higher and hit 3 times if close. EX goes even higher and hits 11 times.

75 Shiki Kai: is a double kick. As in KOF12. There is no need to press the button twice to do both kicks. Stronger one does less damage but launches opponent higher for a combo opportunity. EX does more damage than weak but has juggling properties of the strong one.

Oboro Guruma: His rising triple kick he's had off an on since his KOF debut. The weak is low and hits once and the stong goes higher and hits three times. EX version adds speed and invincibility.

Kototsuki You: Run and slide elbow that if connected, will lift the foe and launch them into the air. EX version is an instant grab when close.

Orochinagi: Kyo raises his fist in a flame and unleashes a massive fireball wave. EX version is more powerful.

Ura 121 Shiki Ama-no-Murakumo: Kyo tosses a fireball that when it connects it sends a pillar of flames at the opponent.

Notes

Regained his Geshiki Naraku Otoshi.

Orochinagi can be executed in the air.
