With all the Street Fighters, Marvel vs. Capcoms and Mortal Kombats floating around these days, it might be hard to decide if your tough, battle-hardened heart has room for one more fighter. To make this decision a little easier, SNK has released a demo of its latest, King of Fighters XIII, on Xbox Live. The trial will also rear its head on the PlayStation Network next Tuesday, December 13.
There has to be something to it, right? After all, there have been thirteen of them.

Played it with my family. My 4yr old and 2yr old love it and my wife and I had a crazy heated battle going on.
See everyone, demos are very necessary. I'm going to go get this game now, probably fight sticks too.

it plays good if got something else then the xbox controller and the online portion is still lagging if your not the host

@Chojin Its laggy even if you are the host. The netcode sucks. Its not KOFXII bad but you can definitely feel the input delay.
Its kind of ironic that they announce this demo AND a netcode patch at the same time. Should have left the online play out of the demo so people don't see how bad it is in its current state lol

This game is perfect save for some lag in online. It is so good the only thing that can make it better is more characters (not EX scitzo-egos)
But I would like to see some minor tweaks:
1- If someone disconnects in a ranked game after the first round, give a minus 1000 penalty to their rank. I say after the first round because by then they would judge if the lag is enough to drop out. I swear those high ranking a$holes (1-100) are only there because the cowards disconnected on round 3 or 4 when it becames clear they will lose.
2- Expand stats to cover the trophy data (how many HD cancels you did, etc)
3- Offer the game on PSN
4- Add voiceovers to the cutscenes
