The King of Fighters XII

Game: The King of Fighters 12

System(s): Arcade, Playstation 3, Xbox 360

Author: Andrea Castillo aka Ice Queen Zero/Azul Fria

Co-author(s): Renea Castillo aka Captain Caliente/Roja Calor and Chigura Castillo aka Tiggy Smalls/Kage Negra

This is the rebirth of the series. SNK has decided to take the King of Fighters series into a different route. After a four-year long wait for a new game, SNK Playmore has released King of Fighters 12 on Taito's Type X2 arcade system. It is also going to see a worldwide release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. At this moment the number of selectable characters have been reduced to 20 and have an absence of some popular characters, most notably the NESTS saga breakthrough fighters. The console version is said to have more characters but we'll have to wait and see what happens on the console.

This is not meant to be a serious FAQ/Movelist for now. I'm waiting until the PS3 version to be released before I do anything serious with this guide unless someone is kind enough to tell me where around Phoenix, Arizona that an arcade machine is located. When the game gets released, then this guide will be more accurate.

Update: Finally, I got to play this game. My sister Renea aka Roja Calor/ Captain Caliente just turned 13 the other day and we got possession of a few new games: This game, Tekken 6, DJ Hero, and Ratchet and Clank: Crack in Time. Expect some FAQs on these game in the future. Still got my WET FAQ to finish as well

My PSN ID is Azul Fria, you can also add my sisters Renea (EnbaBlaze) and Chigura (KageNegra) as well.

King of Fighters 12 and its characters are trademarks of SNK Playmore and all copyrights belong to them.

There seems to be no story for this game even though it is said to put an end to the Ash Saga. No storylines take place whatsoever but it does implement a piece of it like Iori losing his flames in KOFXI carrying over.

u = up, d = down, f = towards opponent, b = away from opponent, db/df/uf/ub = combinations of the other four.

• The number of characters is down to 20. (22 on the console version)
• No story or last boss
• This is a time trial similar to Tekken games
• Each character have lost several moves if not a few.
• Some characters have a f + HP and/or f + HK attack which function as a far HP or far HK attack.
• There is a counter system that allows for extra hits. When the guage is filled

then a character will flash yellow if he or she presses C or D depending on the character. If you manage a successful counter then there will a big clash and the character will fall to his or her knees and this is the opportunity to chain together a massive combo of your choosing as long as the opponent does not fall.

I'll add some notes on the characters next update which will reflect their changes from the previous games such as Athena's Shining Crystal Bit no longer having the Crystal Bits revolving around her. Forgive me Ash fans but I'm also going to do some serious Ash bashing. Also, if you want the know the true name of the moves, to hell with that in game-movelist. Translation is garbage. Kyo's df + D is called the 88 Shiki (Hachijyuu Hachi Shiki and it is not no Hatizyuuhatisiki. What the sam hell?)

Ash will give his opponent the "claw" then burst flames on them.

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

Ventose is the same as before. Weak version sends a green fireball. This looks a green version of Deejay's Max Out from Street Fighter series. The strong version has him doing a slightly bigger fireball.

Nivose is almost like a Flash Kick but it looks similar to Elena's anti-air move from Street Fighter 3.

Genee has Ash blowing a kiss at the opponent that produces a green fireball in a different area of the screen depending on the button pressed.

Thermidor is 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 in the previous games.

Pluviose is a series of 3 Nivoses

San-culotte is very tough to perform especially on a PS3 and Xbox360 controller and it is really not worth pulling off since it no longer cuts charge time off and all it does is surround Ash for a pillar of green flame which acts almost like the Benimaru Lancer.

Notes

If he wasn't queer looking before, he looks gayer than ever in this game. It is bad enough that he switches when he walks but blowing a kiss. If the opponent is female it's no biggie but against male characters, it raises the homo factor a bit higher.

Duo Lon grabs the opponent and sideheadbutts them.

Maboroshi Mu Ken is a simple finger poker that stretches across half the screen but it is considered a special move instead of a command move. It is can also be used in the air.

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 whereever they stand. The air version is not so cheap.

Hike Kyaku is a teleport move where Zen goes forward and Ushiro goes backwards.

Suteki Juuryuu is a combo that starts by connecting with a standing HP then adding in two more hits.

Duo Lon runs across the ground in a bit of smoke that launches the opponent in the air for massive damage.

Notes

Duo Lon is still a cheap bastard especially with that Maboroshi Mu Kyaku of his and then if an opponet gets close, he can teleport away.

Shen Woo grabs the opponent, does two headbutts followed by a massive headbutt.

Fusen Kyaku is 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 Tatsu! Geki Ken

Gekiken is 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

Fuku Tora Geki is a standing axe handle and the Kanyuu Ryugeki is the follow up upper axe handle swing.

Tamaken is a command grab that punches the opponent away. He can follow it up with a Tenrenken

Tatsu! Geki Ken is 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. It can follow up a Tenrenken

Bakuten is not worth it. Like with Ash's Sans-Cloutte it just offers protection from close range attackers.

Notes

Shen Woo has received a lot of new moves and followups from the last game. The Bakuten is now just a protective aura that serves no special purpose for a button press DM.

Shiki Goufu You is a standing axe kick that works as an overhead.

88 Shiki is a double low kick

Yami Barai is his famous ground fireball. The weak is slow and the strong is faster.

Oniyaki is a spiraling uppercut that has a lot of priority. Weak is low and Strong is higher

75 Shiki Kai is a double kick. Now you don't need to double tap the kick button for the second kick.

Oboro Guruma is 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

Kototsuki You is a run and slide elbow that if connected, will lift the foe and launch them into the air.

Oh come on, you have seen this since 94'. Of course I wasn't born at that time but I'm all to familiar with it. Alright I give, he raises his fist in a flame and unleashes a massive fireball wave.

Notes

Kyo seems to have reverted to his 95' incarnation minus the clothes and he still has the 212 Shiki Kototsuki You introduced in KOF 96'

Raikoken is a souped up version of his Raijinken

Notes

Benimaru gained a couple new moves which are best done when the opponent is close to you: Benimaru Rolling Thunder and Benimaru Lancer. He lost his Raimei Tou, Shinkuu Katategoma and Gen'ei Hurricane. He traded his Front Suplex for his Catch and Shoot.

Breaking stops the Kuuhadan in midmove and Andy rolls forward. It must be done during the beginning. Usually when one hit is landed.

A souped up version of his Kuuhadan.

Notes

Andy returns after a long absence. He can break during his Kuuhadan and he has lost a ton of moves.

Psycho Ball is her fireball that she throws at the opponent. Weak is slow and strong is fast.

Psycho Sword is an leaping uppercut with Psycho Power attached to it. Weak is low and strong is high.

Psycho Reflector provides a front barrier in front of Athena. If the opponent hits it then it will shoot a fireball back at them in return.

Phoenix Arrow is an aerial rolling meteor towards the opponent. The stronger version ends with an extra kick.

SCB provides a psycho barrier around Athena. It is invincible against attacks but Athena is vulnerable when it wears off when left untouched or blocked. It will dissipate immediately when it hits or gets blocked.

Notes

Athena as usual got a costume change. You can pretty much refer to her as Athena 87' as she is dressed like her incarnation in Psycho Soldier from that year. Her Shining Crystal Bit no longer has 2 balls circling her. It works as a protective barrier. The Psycho Reflector works as a counter-move now. If it gets by anything whether its a fireball or physical attack, it will shoot out a psycho ball in retaliation.

Leona grabs opponent and stabs them in the neck with her fingers

This is her axe kick. It no longer knocks down on contact but it's still an overhead.

Baltic Launcher properties have changed. It still hits multiple times but it doesn't last long. Leona no longer jumps forward on the strong version.

Moon Slasher still works the same. Just got a graphical upgrade.

Earring Bakudan is not as effective. In fact, Athena's Psycho Reflector can now "reflect" it.

Grand Saber runs forward or backwards depending on the button pressed. You must press punch to attack. Weak runs forward and Strong runs back. You can change directions.

X-Caliber is a combination of her 96' and 97' X-Calibur with the 99' and on command.

Leona leaps into the air and dives at the opponent. If she connects, she makes a V-shaped slash.

Notes

Leona is a little bit tougher to control as far as special moves go. She has lost Grateful Dead and Rebel Spark. She got a new outfit that is similar to her Maximum Impact Alternate Costume. She is the best character to use if you go after the Speed King Trophy. Her infamous Jump C/D, d + C, Moon Slasher works the same way it used to ever since her KOF debut in 1996 and is the combo to use in pursuit of the Speed King Trophy.

What the hell, SNK? Why you mess with Ralf like that? You took away all his moves except the Vulcan Punch and gave him bullshit moves. At least his GP is no longer delayed. Oh and what's this? Ralf now has a command move after all this time of not having one.

They seriously took most of clark's moves away. Now he has just two of them and a followup. At least he has a new throw and UAB animation.
