The King of Fighters XV - How to choose your main character!

[@rooflemonger]

So here it is, the beginning of the King of Fighters XV coverage, with the classic "Choose your main" video! There's A LOT OF CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME. So this video isn't meant to be a comprehensive breakdown of every single character, but rather to give you an idea of what they are about and their flavour to help inform your decision on who you might wanna play. If you are looking for a beginner guide you can also find that linked either at the end of the video, or linked in the video description. Timestamps everywhere to skip to whomever you think is neat and enjoy!

[@moemanji880]

@@BlackMageLozi I understand it’s on the lighter side but the reason for that is so that an indigestible genre can become more palatable. He makes it easier for new fighting games players to play but he also makes it so a more developed fighting game player that is still new (I started the fg genre with dbfz in 2018) can try out legacy series like melty, guilty gear, kof, sf, blazblu etc and can still have an effective guide because more developed players have the ability to discover, so for example here. I know what play styles I like but how would I know what characters do what? Am I meant to sit in the game and go through every character inch by inch ? Nah , I’ll just watch a 2hr video breaking down each character and pick the presidents choice from that , and so I went straight to Shunei, Isla , Chris, Shermie , etc if I went to get into character specifics then I go to other channels but regardless rooflemonger serves as a brilliant entry point.

[@zakpodo]

@@BlackMageLozi This is unnecessarily dismissive and rude. Honestly, whyare you here if it's kindergarten and this place should be avoided by peoole who like fighting games? Do you make a habit of hanging around and cruising the comments of places that you think are childish and to be avoided? I think it was valuable to have a short summary of every character, with footage and commentary on feel before the game even came out. I appreciate the content here. It's all very well made and put together (among the best in the fgc in that regard). While some videos, like this one, are kept to a more surface layer, I've found them valuable learning a new series, or deciding whether to get into a new game (or buy a new game). The historical and topical videos are excellent as well as well researched and edited. And some of the more in depth videos can be of value to anybody, regardless of skill or experience. Some people just need to crap on others to fill the void inside, I guess. Good luck with that.

[@carlosmurillo4741]

Thing about fighting games like this and how cool all the characters seem from what I seen in the little gameplay trailers for them, it’s hard to decide who I want to main. Just because I’m blown away by how unique every character is and yes they are some that take a back, more then others but I’m here for it. They got every type of archetype I like(which is basically all of them,even charge characters). Which is why I like videos like this. They help me to weed out certain characters and help me find out which characters I went to specifically focus on and get good with. So I got to thank you for such an awesome,albeit long video.

[@hickknight]

I have such a hard time deciding who I want to play with because of that. I wanted to play Terry but Benimaru man.... And then you have Kukri... I CAN'T CHOOSE.

[@carlosmurillo4741]

@@Neogears1312 Ik say 95% too but the way I am with games and especially fighting games, I usually play every single character to where Ik then well enough or to at least have an idea on how they play but it’s rare for most fighting games I tend to around 2-5 mains depending on the fighting itself and the characters themselves too. Good example, on MK 11 Ik how to play everyone in the roster but only got 5 mains and they’re the only ones I really care to play with. KOF though, especially this one is a whole other beast I’ll tell you cause I guarantee I won’t find a main til probably years down the line if any at all but I’m ok with that and love KOF more for that

[@dolphin2046]

@@hickknight good thing you have to pick 3.

[@LoDart210]

What's awesome about the characters is that with the system mechanics, characters can easily switch up their playstyles on the fly. For example I love King's zoning tools, but with run and hops, I can play her aggressively and use her tools in new ways. Or take Kyo as another easy example. He's definitely rushdown, but with rolls and the ability to cancel rekkas whenever you want, you can easily play him as a bait and punish character. I've played fighting games for a long time, and DBFZ was the first game I really tried to get serious in, but eventually the same-iness got to me, and I can't enjoy it as much. Getting into KOF has been fun because it has that breakneck pace but also that classic fighting game feel of expansive options. Looking forward to 15! Thanks for the content Roof.

Terry really benefits more than most from the ex move changes. He’s typically been terrible at mixups (a deliberate decision) because he’s never had anything to make you wanna stop crouch blocking sans an obvious jump in so ex crack shoot really does a lot for him. Combined with his other great ex’s and it’s nice to see Terry in high tier again after years.

Characters I'm super interested in trying out to see if they feel natural are Elisabeth, Yuri, K' (although in the beta he felt a little complicated) Joe and Angel (even though I know she's notriously one of the most complex characters in all of fighting games).

What timing! Just preordered it today and I thank you for this video

[@MrRaposaum]

One thing not many people know, is that KoF XV's combo decay is very lenient, when compared to most games. Each hit only reduced the damage of the next attack by 5%, stacking (adding) with each consecutive hit. This means that, even though most combos may seem short in this game, their damage is very rewarding and supers will still do considerable damage even at the end of corner/juggle combos.

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

As a SF player (Gief/Honda), I'm looking for a character that revolves around making good reads and punishing reckless approach. Good AA essential. Grapplers most welcome. Dino looking pretty nice to me so far.

[@rooflemonger]

Dino basically is your boy if thats what you are looking for.

[@forestsavior]

If they didn't change it from KOF XIV, Dino also has a fairly nice footsie tool in that his standing B ankle kick will combo to his hcb+A command throw if done at all but max range. The kick is safe on block (slightly minus IIRC) and projects Dino's axis forward a little, which pulls him into command throw range if you special-cancel it. So if you've been successfully picking at people's limbs with his standing B, you might want to commit to the special cancel to get some easy extra damage+knockdown. it's obviously unsafe on block (cmd throw whiffs), but the kick is fast enough that it's a great whiff punish on many missed C/D moves, so it's easy to just react and clip someone's limb with an st.B.

[@ThraxxL0rd]

Look into Clark

If grapplers are your thing, you have Dinosaur, Maxima, Shermie and Clark to choose from. Clark in particular is a very strong grappler with good mobility.

Great video man! Straight to the point which I'm sure a lot of beginners are looking for.

Big props for segmenting the video per fighter. Not a lot of people are willing to put up with the tedium.

tbh I always choose characters that I like because of...well...it's character. I honestly don't care what it's mechanics are, if I like the character I will put extra effort to learn it no matter what.

Here is me browsing yt when this video showed up in which i didn't realized how long it was until i went to skip the first ad. Little did i know i was gonna sit through all of it, really liked what i saw. I really like the direction they went with this game, nice visuals especially the snow stage is gorgeous, character models like nice, wide variety of moves, seems solid enough to me. I was hoping for more combos & supers but i understand that i would've overall taken a lot longer to make this video.

This was a fantastic video, I've pre-ordered the game for xbox since I have missed having a good fighter since we seem to not get SF anymore, I'm not great and tend to go for design then kit for my characters but KoF seems to have all the cool dudes and waifus with the move sets I would enjoy playing. Your video was a great overview to the team I might pick. Can't wait to try honestly learning some decent combos even as I get filtered down to the casual/newbie areas of the online.

I also pre-ordered for Xbox, hope we find a large amount of people to go against. As long as I continue to find people I'll be more motivated to get better.

@@skytentheknight3294 hope that in the future snk put crossplay on it, so we wouldn't have to worry about it

[@Agamembar]

@@skytentheknight3294 great! I’m agamembar on Xbox so feel free to add me. I hope to see you online for some matches.

[@VaughnHBS]

That SF6 trailer though. Here's to hoping Xbox will get it as well.

Thank you for the effort you put in this video! I'm sure there are others like me somewhat new to KOF that watched it through!! 🙏
