The King of Fighters XIII/Joe

Joe

In a nutshell

The Hot-blooded Muay Thai champ is back again. Joe's one of the strongest zoning characters in XIII with large, fullscreen projectiles that allow him to control a huge amount of the playing space. His close game is stronger than ever with great frametraps and hitconfirms, while his mid-distance normals work great for passive offense or defense. Joe's a solid choice for a beginning zoning character as well as being a great character for seasoned players.
