Hello KOF fans, it’s Gunny here again with some choiciest morsels for your KOF hunger. Perhaps you haven’t yet got access as today is a festival of KOF love only for those who pre-ordered the deluxe edition, but don’t worry, I won’t post any story spoilers, just combos and tech to whet your appetite for the grand feast that’s coming Feb 17th.
Some things have been nerfed, it seems Yashiro has less juggles as some predicted but there are still certain characters who can juggle your ass for a whole minute. However, let’s remember that these combos are 5 bar, and only done once a match, so it’s not like you’re going to suffer this every 30 seconds…. Well, not so far…
Here are THREE variations of the Ash stun combo

Btw I have my review code, but as I’ve already bought the game twice, I’ve passed on the code to someone who’s going to start training to wreck the opponents in our name ohohohoh… well, hopefully it works as the code may not be region free. Ha….
Interestingly, PC owners did not get early access and it’s quite the debate. Why? Is it to stop leaks? Most things have been leaked already… doesn’t seem fair.
IT'S HERE!!! ?
Owners of the The King of Fighters XV Digital Deluxe Edition can play NOW with a 3-day head start ahead of the global launch on 17 February 2022!

fans of the third member, Liz, should be happy with a nice 4 bar combo, and I still can’t see if those new fireballs are part of it…

Ok, Joe is back! Although the combo starts with a CD, like Kukri’s, it’s still a stun! Nice job by DC

Speaking of guides, Dandy J, the author of the famous KOF guide for beginner, made a new video about neutral. Share this with your friends who want to do more than mash!
It’s a hard life being a big body. But Iori’s kinda tall so what gives…

Backdashes, part of the “slowing down” trend in KOFXV, have been nerfed. Alternate guard has been disabled too. QCFUF motions are harder.
Backdash can still be used to escape a command grab and rushdown pressure but it can also be punished for some weird reason ? #kofxv #KOF15 #KOFXV pic.twitter.com/IeJx0BYRfM

Wauhti shows what you can do with one EX bar, this is important because it seems there is less emphasis on using Max mode in this iteration. Still early days tho.

The new mechanic of Anti-throw and anti roll is being studied right now, here’s one solution by Kusanagi

Aroo has an OS for rolls here
You can OS rolls as well as reversal throw by applying this knowledge from @Alioune85
Thank you @Juicebox_FGC for the idea

Not practical but something you could try with Terry, we’ve seen quad power geyser combos but how about the magical SIX?

El Rosa has a nice stun for Ralf!

— El Rosa @ EVO 2023!! (@elrosa_) February 13, 2022
El Rose also points out something that may or may not be changed
Whenever you're canceling or doing a follow up in #kofxv you have to press the button of said move BEFORE the previous move hits. Because of this, it's common to miss the timing on combos or situations where you need to react fast.
I hope it gets fixed
— El Rosa @ EVO 2023!! (@elrosa_) February 14, 2022
How about one more Ash combo but no stun, just 100% with 5 bars? Not exactly practical but if ASh is your anchor, then if you leave yourself open to a heavy, then RIP!

Pretty sure this is 2 bar, but more importantly this is Misterio playing one of his favourite characters… which means players are in big trouble

Heidern’s projectiles don’t knock down in this game, which means…
Heidern's Sonic Booms don't knock down anymore, but they do when combo'd into, and that is useful for comboing to his curly donut super > finger gun loops in the corner #KOFXV_Heidern #KOFXV pic.twitter.com/bSfDOgoLt2

You’re gonna get robbed by this Luong crossup by Badoor, but at least she provides some fan service afterwards

Display lag PS5 vs PS4… this was rumoured before release, during the beta, and that PS5 might globally have more lag than PS4.
