KoF XV Order & Positioning: How to Order your team and their functions in King of Fighters 15

[@diimiitrii-]

I'm so hyped for this game. It's looking very promising

[@prime98k4]

I've playing since the 2000s and this is one of the best advices I've seen for new players. When I started just picked the most cool looking characters and go with that. And nowadays as well as before people put their mains or anchor characters first on the team, leaving them on a sure loss if their character gets defeated, so is an excellent advice for newcomers.

[@rigelmax7624]

what an amazing channel this is man, well done and thanks you

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Appreciate the love ✌🏼

[@DroWarriorOfLight]

Thanks for the video! this is a very useful concept for KoF to have and as far as I know, something is not explained to you unless you have your history with the frachise.

[@Setteri_]

Really useful, thank you.

[@rdxgamer1772]

this is extreamly useful!!! cant wait for this game!!

[@DecepySwag]

Dope vid man, im fairly new to KOF so this helps me out. Started with 14 about a year ago. Keep it up

[@jday2533]

I never played this game before, so this is super informative

[@xalbarxgames9372]

Thank you, very informative and well explained

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Np, we’ll need to play in this game soon. No Cervantes here 🌝

[@xalbarxgames9372]

@@TrulyAmiracle Sure thing, that's unfortunate but no Voldo here either 😁

[@RockyLobster25]

I used to play Andy, Athena and Kusanagi (that order) in 2002. Good ol' days :)

[@safruddinaly5822]

Hope you make new video soon

[@jesusmejia3417]

Cool video! Are you going to make a video about the characteristics of the characters to know what to choose as mains?

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Just quick notes about each character? Thats not a bad idea. What I was doing is mini guides showing the character main moves and what each of the specials and EX do and some combo examples. But these will be a video for each character. Your video I can cover the whole cast in 1 video, I might actually do that before the game is out. Thanks for the idea!

[@jesusmejia3417]

@@TrulyAmiracle Yes please, that would be awesome! I've been looking for something like this on internet and there is literally nothing! For example, in Tekken 7 there are tons but here in KOF there isn't even one. For example, we got a character like: Dragunov (Tekken 7) : A rushdown character. Hits hard. Here are some of his moves and his charistics Or something like: King: this character is a grappler and you need to Learn many motion inputs. Something like that would be awesome! As it would be my first KOF I had no idea about the characters and I'm sure it happens to many people as well.

[@Green1up]

Very good information here thank you

[@riyaadh9187]

Very good video! Sorta new to kof so not 100% sure what each char fully does yet. Team so far is Iori, Blue Mary and Geese when he drops, so what order should they be in?

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Iori is flexible but he is a strong anchor, Mary is good as point or 2nd. Geese works anywhere but if he’s close to his 14 version he’ll be a good anchor. So Mary/Iori/Geese or Mary/Geese/Iori depending on your style.

[@Habs24000]

Ready to "SHATTER ALL EXPECTATIONS" for this game

[@SuntoryKick]

Any idea what position Elisabeth, Ash, Rock, and Geese would be? Also, thanks for the helpful video!

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Elizabeth: this one's tough coz we don't know if her super still juggles off of everything, that and her EX counter looks mad cheap. in XIII her lifeline was her anywhere juggle super. She'll prob be better 2nd or as an anchor but its just a guess with her, too many unknowns. Ash: Usually an Anchor to use his San Collute install and EX fireballs for zoning, or 1st as a basic Guile style battery. Geese: Very flexible, but having meter greatly enhances his damage and combo routes, so 2nd or Anchor if he still has Raging Storm as his lvl3. Rock: Control character but he needs meter to be threatening, 2nd is probably his best spot. If his rising tackle isnt ass then he can be a decent point, especially that its not a charge special now.

[@SuntoryKick]

@@TrulyAmiracle Thanks, I really appreciate it. Going to keep a note of this for when the game drops.

[@ColinLack]

here's the way I usually play: Vanessa - Point Blue Mary / Leona - Mid B. Jenet - Anchor

[@snowf6307]

New to KOF ! Where does Chizuru slot in? Thanks for this ! I'm going with King, Yuri, and maybe Chizuru?

[@TrulyAmiracle]

In your team I think Chizuru might be best as anchor, but she can be good 2nd as well. Her EX moves are good and her clone super is nice to have on deck. Yuri is flexible all around, and King is a good point or 2nd, its still early but she might be good as anchor as well. So King/Yuri/Chizuru, Yuri/Chizuru/King.

[@snowf6307]

@@TrulyAmiracle Thank you friend !! Can't wait for my fight stick to arrive too :D

[@CobaltAkuma]

Two characters that I'm thinking about maining are Chris and Robert. What are some good positions for them?

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Chris is usually a good battery but in 15 i think being 2nd will be his best spot coz his EX moves really open up his options and damage. Robert is flexible, solid neutral and zoning with no bar but his damage is relatively low meterless, if he’s 2nd or 3rd he’ll be able to convert his hits into damage and have a bit more screen control.

[@jesusmejia3417]

Nice vid! Could you make a character difficulty tier list? There aren't any of those on KZbin yet

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Its one of the ideas im juggling.

[@jesusmejia3417]

@@TrulyAmiracle cool! I'm sure tons of new people - like me who comes from Smash- would love to know who to choose

[@Manlygenius101]

So I got Elisabeth first, Mai second, luong third. I can combo well with all of them. So idk what order lol. Is that order good? I haven't played a kid game since 2002

[@TrulyAmiracle]

From that team I like Mai best for anchor, she’s the most flexible matchup wise imo. its a team of characters that can go in any order really but I would go Liz/Luong/Mai then change it once you see which character you’d rather have lots of meter stocked.

[@Manlygenius101]

@@TrulyAmiracle absolutely, since I can do a 499 damage zero meter combo luong. I think I'm gonna toss ol girl up to the front. Thank you for the input brother ! ✌️🤘

[@viceanterra3]

My team is King Dino, Ramon, and I'm having trouble picking a 3rd. I'm considering either Heidern or Dolores. I'm new to the series so idk who needs more meter than who lol. Either way, I'm more comfortable with Ramon so I'll put him Last and King Dino first. Just gotta fill that 3rd slot.

[@TrulyAmiracle]

I recommend watching some matches with “El Rosa” in them, he plays both Dino and Ramon so you can an idea on how they spend their bar. Both Heidern and Dolores are great picks, in your team I’d say the order would be something like Ramon/Dino/Dolores or Heidern, once you get comfortable with the team that is.

[@mamba2440]

What are your thoughts on Heidern, Mai then Ash anchor? Thanks in advance!

[@TrulyAmiracle]

I’d put Heidern 2nd as he needs meter to go crazy, Mai and Ash tho can work anywhere really. Ash anchor for install combos obviously or Mai for bigger damage and threat of her lvl3 catching you from anywhere.

[@mamba2440]

@@TrulyAmiracle thank you! I'll consider the tips, been a while since I played KOF

[@mamba2440]

Sorry, how's heidern as anchor?

[@TrulyAmiracle]

@@mamba2440 Heidern works too, having more meter for his EX fireball and beyblade super is useful, all 3 are solid anchors, but Heidern or Ash as more explosive Anchors.

[@PetalousPanoply]

Is Whip a good control character? Loving the guides btw

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Yeah her tools work all around so she can be extra annoying as 1st coz the opponent doesnt have meter to deal with her big buttons, or she can go 2nd and use things like her EX air swing for crazy mobility and mixups.

[@siekensou77]

alongside your first part, i think there's a few other useful orders: Best Second Worst Second Best Worst Second Worst Best Worst Second Best Worst Best Second when the last is Best or Second, they are on cleanup duty. if the last character is your worst, they are also on cleanup but you are hoping to have a much weaker final fight thus your worst is enough to win.

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Well.. the idea is to have your worst character have the most playtime and that there's no meter in play so you get to explore them in a more timid environment. The goal here is to learn, your awkward characters get more time in play so you get more comfortable with them and your "better" character gets to practice clutch time and converting hits into damage. but if you wanna win even if you're still lost in regards to the game's system and your characters then that's a different thing.

[@siekensou77]

@@TrulyAmiracle depends on how confident you are with your worst character for vs play. maybe you might want to practice more outside of a competitive setting before you do serious competitive time with them. but the character is still chosen because you know them more than others (enough to be on cleanup duty)

[@TrulyAmiracle]

@@siekensou77 Yeah see, going into matches i’d assume you at least went to training and labbed the character for a bit. Idk what competitive means to you to here but in general online is a great place to practice, you dont have to think of it too seriously especially early on and focus on using it to learn the game. I dont disagree with the team orders you did, the idea was to make the whole ordeal for newcomers less complicated. If they’re totally new to the game, who’s on clean up duty should be the least of their worries.

[@siekensou77]

@@TrulyAmiracle i think it would be easier for newer folks to understand the last character you will play as is the last stand. and either you dont want to resort to them or you want them to destroy everything. easier to understand than analyzing meters. second and best out front means 2 char vs 2-2.5 characters. saving the remains of the last character for your worst. but yea having worst on first or second would be primary practice focused.

[@doumanseiman2645]

What I do in kof is I actually dont care much about synergy, I just make a team with 3 chars I like even if they dont make sense together. Then what I try to optimize is their order.

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Yeah you can do that too, as long as they arent all meter hungry you should be fine. This is for people that want to make the team synergy better.

[@umi7850]

What would Terry and Vanessa be? Vanessa probably hard to determine because she wasn't in the beta but yeah maybe you have an idea because as newbie I would like to play yuri, mai, vanessa and terry

[@TrulyAmiracle]

Vanessa works as a middle but she gets crazy with meter, so anchor is good as well. If she has her 14 combo routes she’ll have fun with more bar to use. Terry in 15 is a damage monster, so he can work as control or as an anchor.

[@umi7850]

@@TrulyAmiracle oh okey thanks for your insights! May I ask how you would rate Isla? I completely forgot her, really gonna be tough to choose my first team

[@TrulyAmiracle]

@@umi7850 I didnt spend too much time with her in the beta, but she seems like a good battery or a middle that will use meter every now and then. Using her 1st is probably gonna be common coz dealing with her air shenanigans will be harder without meter.

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

Do you consider Ryo a flexible character?

[@TrulyAmiracle]

hmm kind of, he's not the best point but he can manage against zoning better, 2nd or 3rd he gets his big damage though.
