A patch that primarily focuses on improving the online functionality in The King of Fighters XIII is now live for PlayStation Network and will soon be available on Xbox Live. Here's what it does:
- Ranked match filtering allows you to set the conditions for opponents' connections and filtering in general is more aggressive than before.
- The accuracy of connection antennas has been increased.
- If you stay in the Player Match/Ranked Match menu, custom match settings will be temporarily retained.
- A bug relating to "NESTS-Style" Kyo and Iori with the Power of Flames has been addressed.
- Further unnamed tweaks and fixes are present.
Beyond the patch itself, the game is now moving ever closer to budget territory thanks to a $10 price drop. Atlus has also shared a King of Fighters XIII t-shirt design for EVO 2012, which has Mai doing her thing. Of course it does.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

FUCKING NOW!!!!!!
definitely one of the few 2D fighting games that are beyond awesome along with Blazblue ^^
So very tempting.
Sounds more likes workaround than a fix.
I really like KOF, it was my excuse to still care for the fighting genre, that's why I am so pissed at SNK for packing in the same horrible netcode XII had with just a few tweaks...
To anyone considering picking this up that cares about online matches, try the demo first, and see how online works for you, cause it's still one of the worst online fighting games I have ever played (BB, SF4 and MK were considerably better)
I mean those titties... on that shirt. Hmmmmm-mmmm!
i don't get it?? :\
Most people here won't.
That link is full of awesomeness! Everyone talks too much...
I'm seriously considering this purchase already so a price drop is super welcome!
*clap*
