Should I choose Kage for Kumite mode?

Hi everybody it's me again,

I just want to ask three questions, if anyone can answer them for me then that is great!
So here are the questions

1. I was thinking about playing as Kage on Kumite mode but I tried playing as him on arcade and I couldn't seem to get him to do any really good moves, just a couple of unch and ick combos (which were a bit cheesy by the way!) so does anybody know any simple but better combos for Kage?

2. I keep getting those weird little "special items" for all of my characters on Kumite mode (like "old win pose" and "VF1 character") and I don't know what they are for, so can anybody please tell me what they are for / how to activate them?

3. I am spoilt for choice over which character to play as next on Kumite, I have currently got Lion at 2nd dan, Pai, Aoi and Wolf at 1st dan, and I (as you already know) am probably going to play as Kage next, but which one should I play as after I have finished with him?

Thanks everyone if you answer these question(s)

Bye! /versus/images/icons/grin.gif

P.S. sorry about that cheesy poll that I posted a while ago, that was when I was a beginner and didn't know many items, but now I know more!

 

I used Kage as my first char in Kumite and hes 3rd Dan at the moment. He is really powerful if u know how to fight with him properly. Go to Training and the Command. Learn his moves and u will get better.
To activate items go to Data Files then Edit File. Choose the char u want and the go to Edit Colour and Items i think it is. Then u can equip ur gained items to ur Head, Torso, arms.

 

Kage is a breeze for kumite mode... all you need if +. If it's blocked, immediately - if it MCs, throw; if it's blocked (RARE situation), do another . On the other hand, if + hits, continue with combo - -> works against everyone if you play vs. CPU (human Wolf/Jeffry can IR the DP).

Throws: higher-ranked CPU escapes those often, just keep doing + (and combo), + (+ either pounce or DP for ura), and + (with ura... just be careful if it's escaped!).

Also check out Kage Basics thread for combos. For a very easy TFT one that works on everyone do knee -> -> + -> +.

 

If you have aquired the VF 1 Model special, to use it select your kumite charecter and then hold down + when the round is loading.

Once you have the old victory pose 1 special hold + + when you win the match.

To use victory pose 2 hold +

To change the background on the main menu, simply choose Options -> Settings -> Game, and press L and R to change the background.

 

If you are doing well with him now, by all means. whoever you seem to have a natural apathy for, thats who you should choose

 

Choose Lei Fei. Even though he's slow, once you learn all his moves, he kick everybody's butt.
