Now, the veteran Oyaji-G is back again with some tips and tricks for you intermediate fighters, with some things that will help beginners too! Check out the wonderful highlights and there’s many more if you follow these people on their twitter!
So, after yesterdays deluge of combos, it’s starting to become clear that we’re going to have a lot of fun, and I don’t think those 5 bar combos will be patched, remember that the last character will be using this as a comeback mechanic, and that’s only if the first two characters didn’t spend all that meter already.
Last night I tried the ranking mode, where the CPU evaluates you through 3 games. Be prepared to be shocked when you reach the third match. The CPU is input reading! Wauhti demonstrates! – And yes I got murdered!
KOFXV offers you to play against 3 CPUs to get preliminary ranking in online mode but those cpus are input reader tier. CPU will dp or super pretty much anything what you are trying to against them

I would post more KOFXV art and cosplay but it takes time to go and ask and wait for a reply, I’m assuming western twitter users understand embedding is not stealing, but I’ve had some drama in the past with Japanese twitter so I’m treading carefully! If you want more art and cosplay, follow me on Twitter, there’s tons of it!
Koch Media is giving away some KOF15 copies so get in there if you’re on Twitter!
It's #KOF15 launch week and we've got 2 x copies of the game (PS5/XSX) up for grabs.

Now, I refuse to understand what I’m looking at, but Tatsu is indeed correct about the choice of soundtrack.

There is a ton of nostalgia in KOF15 so it comes as no surprise that Andy’s command move is invincible, as it was in Fatal Fury, as it was his dodge move! However this might be a coincidence and may get patched out! Enjoy using it now!

While some players have been focusing on doing maximum damage with full combos, the real stars in my opinion are those who are working on maximising damage with one or two. Here’s UFOrange with one bar for Angel.

Following that we have the all star Haregoro with a fantastic 2 bar stun. Of course he found that combo, you say, because he’s the bonafide #1 Joe specialist in the world. Yes, I concur, you are absolutely right.

Vanessa, lots of punching, but you like that, don’t you. Punching someone like they’re a punching bag, as if they said something bad about your open toe sandals… but this is worse because it’s going to confuse the hell out of the opponent. Cross unders fly under the opponent, at which point they have to focus to see which side to block. Or they panic and take back any statements about fashion sense.

James has been looking at doing moves in the air, which is usually done quickly by doing the Tiger Knee (TK) motion which is qcf uf or 2369 aka ???? but it seems to have been disabled or just made really difficult in KOFXV. So it seems there is a minimum height to be able to execute this. This has been done intentionally to stop infinites.
Minimum height example 3: #KOFXV_Benimaru can 8236/air qcf +P instead of tk. May work for others. #KOFXV #KOFXV_SYSTEM pic.twitter.com/RgmqHSyQP4

TK TK TK, you got it, right? Try it with Yuri!
You can use tk raiouken to beat wakeup mash and throws as meaty. Its really advantageous oB too #KOFXV_Yuri pic.twitter.com/Qgkl1USHrI

Speaking of TK, the other way to do instant airbourne moves was to back dash into it. Kirisamecho has found another way, by doing N214N4 then N4N214 – that’s neutral then qcb, neutral then back + K, then neutral, back, neutral, qcb K. Well, that’s how I understand it. Take a look:

Why is it useful? Because combos that’s why! But we’ll have to wait to see if this gets patched, or if someone can find a way to link it usefully. In KOF 13, K’ could do this after a super, it looked mad!
Koukou has been working on punishing characters who try to attack you back! Of course, if the opponent blocks then you can keep applying pressure and look for another gap in the defense…

Do you like that freaky guy with the metal arm? Then here are some tips from Dandy J!
Couple of practical Krohnen quick max combos for anchor position. You can do close 5C instead of close 5A for the 3 bar, but you have to wait to dash really close so it's kind of awkward. Side note, his far 5C gives you about 2 seconds to confirm into quick max #kofxv_krohnen pic.twitter.com/ZJGVDyTAY0

Kyo Okezemi (mix up on wake up)
2 Leftover Kyo Okizeme setups
236A~63214A~A ender can give you a meaty 236AC and you can link 2A after it (loses to wakeup throw)
236A~63214A~63214B/D gives you little advantage but you can trade cl.5C (IDK the startup for the cast) with CD#KOFXV #KOFXV_Kyo pic.twitter.com/VQpU0sCPQ1

As suspected the Xbox has less display lag but considering the price of an XBox it’s just not feasable to run tournaments on it. Let’s see what happens with steam but so far, PS4 is gonna be the tournament platform standard.
