I was finally able to find someone online to play with yesterday! I fought the same guy 3 times in a row (after waiting for 35 minutes to get matched with someone). I won the first of our 3 matches. I could have loved to play more, but I guess he wanted to get a little more variety and took off after our 3rd battle.
A great feature in KoF XII though is that I was able to record all 3 fights and review them as many times as I wanted. It was painfully obvious in the 2 matches that I lost that I need to slow it down and be able to react to his moves. He was quite obvious a few times and I completely missed the cues and got punished for it. I also need to learn how to better exploit my opponents openings.
Last night I also spent several hours researching KoFXIII combos. After reading through many pages of character bios and watching tons of youtube videos I'm happy to stick with Joe and Robert. Since I'm going to be using a standard Xbox 360 pad and not an arcade stick I need to be able to execute simple, high damage combos. Both of those characters can delivery.
I am going to be swapping Kyo out of the rotation though. After last nights cram session here are the current candidates for his replacement: K', Shen, Iori, Maxima, Yuri. I'll dig into those 5 a little closer tonight and make sure I have one locked down today since XIII launches tomorrow and I want to get started on them asap.

Iori's fun, but as you mentioned, difficult on the Xbox 360's default D-pad because a lot of his combos require precision.
The only other one out of that list that I'm familiar with is Yuri, which may be a good candidate.

I want to play Yuri, the only problem is that her best combos involved lots of juggling in the corner. I'm not sure I can pull it off consistantly with the 360s D-Pad.

Iori's worse 
He's timing and precision for his combos.
If I remember correctly, K' doesn't have too many complex moves, but again I'm not familiar with those characters.

good luck figuring out the new NEOMAX combos. I just got my copy today, but I'm leaving to see family for thanksgiving. I'll be gone until Monday. I guess I'll have to find something better to do until then.
