KOF XIII: The Highs and Lows of Hyper-Drive mode

*This is a basic tutorial that discusses HD MaxMode usage from an over-head or low attack. Only a few characters feature in this video and even though I have recorded combos, this isn't a combo video*

The highs and lows of Hyper-Drive mode (MAXMODE)

In this tutorial, we'll take a look at HD activation after an over-head or low attack.

If you've been following my King of Fighters XIII combo tutorials, you'll notice that a large percentage of these combos start from a jumping attack, into a mid heavy attack, then a command normal into Hyper-Drive mode etc.

Of course this is the best way to start a combo if you can, but your opponent will not stay still and allow you to just do these combos. MAXMODE can be activated after low and over-head attacks. Some characters can even activate HD mode after certain special moves. But we'll look at that another time.

First of all we'll look at HD activation after an overhead attack. Then we'll have a look at easy activation after a low attack into a command normal. Last but not least, we'll take a look at HD activation from crouching light attacks. Not every character is blessed with a crouching light attack into a command normal, so they have to be extra quick if they want to land a HD combo after a crouching light.

All of the combos in this video are just quick examples. None of them are MAX damage combos that should be used all the time in the same situation. Look for your own combos and find ones that you are comfortable with.

Let's go!!
