Stun
While harder to induce a stun than in previous game such as The King of Fighters '98, stuns are still important in KOF XIII. Certain characters (Kula, Takuma, Joe) can even land 100% stun combos under the right conditions. Stun values count down to 0 in XIII, at which point a stun occurs. Damage scaling remains the same as it had been since the previous hit.
