So a few days back I made the video about making combos easier, but not much talk about actual combos/combo structure so lets change that! From the basics, damage scaling, unique properties and all that, lets get into the weeds about combos in KoF XV! If the video was useful for you leave a like, it actually help the channel a bunch!
This game (well, all fighting games, really) could do with a combo editor, like ArcSys did for Strive. Between that and online training partners, I think you’d see major improvements across the whole player base.
Essential tips series of video for tomorrow on proper launch day, and then maybe a couple more combo guides and getting into the weeds with character specific guides? who knows cause I literally don't. However I feel I got a good coverage on all the basics of the game now with the videos out, make sure to check the playlist linked at the end of the video because everything is going in there and it contains a lot of info!
Its def a lot closer to SF than GG, but yeah KoF is its own thing for sure. However if you have any SF background I don't think its that big of an adjustment in the end past the mobility options.
This is my first KOF too. I love it so far but I’m amazed at how different the neutral feels compared to SF. Plus the execution on KOF feels a lot stricter.
Thank you, Rooflemonger! I've been fiending for any content about KoF 15 ESPECIALLY learning content. Excited for things like universally simplified Super inputs, this will be the first KoF that I really want to get good in. This game is so polished and accessible, and content like yours makes it even more accessible for Kof casuals like me!
Needed this! Coming from playing street fighter for years, this game is hella different. It's amazing tho I'm taking L's online but learning on the way thanks to you!
I agree I haven’t even went online yet cuz I only have one character down now I’m on my second character It’s a lot to learn like k’ u have to do his moves so fast after each other it’s frustrating
To the people who are struggling so far, don’t give up! I finally got my “click” today and the game is starting to feel more familiar. Coming from SF and GG this was a big adjustment for me.
I hopped into 15 as my first KoF, as someone who primarily plays anime fighters, this transition is rough. Hitting the lab and learning as much as i can but I haven't had the "click" moment where everything makes sense. I'm going to improve, start winning more consistently and feel good doing it. 15 is going to be an up hill battle but I won't lose.
As with any fighting game they all have their own unique stuff that takes time to learn. Someone who only played kof going to an anime fighter would also have a harder transition. Practice makes perfect!
My first kof was 13 and it took me months to get decent to put everything together (good with 3 characters, neutral, max mode cancel combos,etc) I came from SF4 and mvc2 and yea different but you'll get there!
As my last KOF was 2001. Anything beyond normal, cmnd norm then special/super is Greek to me. Hence this is very helpful for returners to the franchise
This is one of my first KOF and I have your videos on all the time at work now trying to learn everything I can so I can get good and use too the game thanks a lot for the uploads
Months later and this is still an amazing combo guide. I came from GG and decided to hop into this KOF as my first one and definitely having a bit of trouble adjusting, but your tip videos have been a tremendous help. Keep it up my guy!
I just wanted to say thanks, this set of videos has been a big help. Day 1 I was banging my head against the wall with just special cancels but now I realize in some cases at least maybe it wasn’t my timing, it was just a normal that can’t cancel which I wasn’t aware of. I like how you have to really dig into characters in this game to see what properties their kit has.
Playing KOF since 94, so KOF XV is the best version since 97-98. Great mechanics, great roster and very satisfying combos with that feeling of joy (which is where SFV failed miserably)
Wow really like this video, you get in to a lot of the nuts and bolts of how combos work in XV. Bravo sir, this was NOT a subject many would care to approach in any meaningful way. Particularly enjoy the amount of research and care that you have put in to your videos and it really shows how much you truly love fighting games. Didn't know KOD had OTG options... must further investigate since I need to really learn a grappler in XV Please keep this series going and hope you are enjoying XV as much as I am enjoying your videos.
I like how the combo structures work in this game! From basic BnBs to the really flashy stuff. I should experiment if any of my characters moves have the "juggle anywhere" property to optimise my combos! ^^
The costumes for terry and Leona look so dope. I love the combo system in this game. It feels like they took everything good about the one in 14 and refined it.
It's gonna be tough getting used to double tap dashes after Strive spoiled me with the dash macro, but the utility of rolls makes up for it. I've been hyped for 15 ever since it was announced and within hours it will finally be here. Between this, Strive, and DNF this summer 2022 will be the year of the fighting game for sure.
My god man! I bought KOF XV when it came out but it was somewhat different to most fighting games I have played so I was concerned I was going to drop it but this video helped me out soo much! I gotta watch them all lol
Thank you for your guides Rooflemonger! KoF is pretty much a hard to learn game for me, i play usually MK 9-11, Killer Instinct (Steam) and Ultra Street Fighter 4.
You REALLY help us first timers, greatly appreciated!!! One request though, i heard in Aris' (Avoiding the Puddle) stream, his chat was helping him do the trials, that you can "hold down the button" (negative edge???) to make it easier or something. Would you do a separate tutorial on those kind of easier input timings? if there ever is one.
This is my first KOF and I’ve only played the MK games growing up. It’s a big transition from what I’m used to but I’ve been in the lab practicing until I get the hang of it. The ones I’m focusing on getting used to are mai, Leona, and Terry. It’s hard to get the timing right on their special moves as well as canceling but I’ll get there in time. I ain’t giving up until I’ve mastered the three :)
I'm a SF player but I have ALWAYS wanted to get into king of fighters. The problem is the combos, I felt, I could never get down and the over all mechanics but you gave me some insight on command normals and combo potential moves so Im motivated. Time to hit training mode
Only ever played Smash for the most part, but I basically main all the fighting game characters. Terry, Kazuya, and I'm trying to pick up Ken. I've also played a fair amount of Mortal Kombat, Just bought KoF XV because Terry is so damn fun in Smash, and now trying to learn this game. Definitely different than other games, but I'm already having a tone of fun, and can't wait to see how much fun I have when I get good.
Simply hit practice mode. If you can't hitconfirm well the big thing is you can set to bot to "block random" and that can be used to train your hitconfirming. Just put on some chill music and repeat repeat repeat. I use this myself when trying to get my hitconfirming skills up.
This is my first fighting game since MK4 (not including playing a bit vs the CPU in Third Strike on Switch)… and I find creating combos so overwhelming. The level of execution required feels super high, and I’m struggling just doing the level 2 trials for most characters. I’m definitely not giving up, but wow it feels daunting!
That Shermie command grab you show actually can be rekka'd which DOES set up for some tight and specific followups actually. Her trial 4 showcases this 👍
Still waiting for the game to come out on PC so I can't check, but is there anywhere in-game where you can see if a move has OTG or Juggle Anywhere properties, or will we just have to try that with every move ourselves?
Mainly was an FPS player even as far as semi Pro in Halo, started fighting games with MK11, this game has thrown me off from MK in the 2 hours I've got to have with it so far, will watch this tonight after work while in training mode
Being seasoned veteran of SF, Tekken, GG, MvC and Melee I'm having a hard time adjusting. Never took KOF seriously til now. Doing simply BnBs seems impossible it's frustrating. The timing is so different
Its literally not hard at all, you are just letting the unfamiliarity take over. If you can do combos in marvel and sf, there is zero issue crossing over to KoF other than some of the series specific particulars
@@rooflemonger true true very different and specific. Thank you for responding and keep up the good work! I really appreciate all the vids. Been really helpful
Not my first KOF but it will be the first one I'll try online. Not used to the different jumping and max mode, so gonna need to sit down with that before I even think to touch a charge character in this moment.
Almost everyone who is new to kof literally has no idea how hitconfirming works cause of command normals not working in this game like they do in every other fighter. I am concise so people understand
@@rooflemonger I don't know what it is you thought I was implying but I think you took it the wrong. I just thought it was kind of funny how you're telling newcomers to just do hit confirms as their bnb, which is something that I feel is pretty notoriously hard to learn and something that you have to actively spend a lot of dedicated time to practice in training mode, lol
Decided to make this game my first comp "normal" fighting game (coming from plat fighters like NASB and slap city) and god combos r just the most annoying thing to get down But I'm getting there, one fucked up half circle at a time
I'm finding it extremely hard to do some combos in mission mode. For example doing Mai's (standing) 👊 + ↘🦶 is a challenge on its own, 50% of the time it won't go off, the room is just way too small. What to say about the rest.
It’s only been a day and if I’m being honest I’m getting discouraged, I’m have a hard time just doing the inputs. I’m going to try my best because I love the characters in the game:
Thanks for this video! The hardest part about this game is trying to remember all these scenarios in the heat of the battle. I've been practicing for days and I'll know a combo like the back of my hand but under pressure I just forget my timing. It's incredibly hard. I guess all I can do is practice and hope it becomes second nature
My first kof game coming from fighterz and it all feels so foreign, the amount of directional inputs needed for a bnb blows my mind I don't know how I'll ever get there hang of it but I'll keep on trying
Hey brother good job on your channel, I have a question if you can help me. I was curious if you can show or do a video on short cutting the supers in this game. I’m now on a (Stick) and I’m coming from Street fighter crossing over to KOF. some of these special moves for example geese Howard ,terry.. I can’t figure out the motions.. Thanks 🙏🏾
I’m having a lot of trouble with inputting supers, it seems that I need to delay it a bit? Seems very different from SFV. It’s my first KOF game but ima gonna keep trying!
Its meant to be a counter attack, thats why it has multiple hits of armour. Use it in the middle of a blockstring, anti air, or whenever you feel there is an attack
new kof player here, can say the timing to connect the hits is so harsh for new player, but oh well the new rush system is so forgiving for newer player hahaha
My biggest issue is how accurate you have to put in the inputs, it's frustrating but I want to get into KoF. So used to NRS games, SF and DBFZ. Need something new 😤
For stuff like Meitenkun first mission where it's crouch light punch 3 times into holding left charge to right punch, how do I get a charge/holding move to connect if I'm holding down for the first three punches?
If you charge down back as you do the crouching punches that counts as charging the move. Then when you’ve done the punches, just hit forward or up and your charge move will come out. You only have to charge for half a second so that should be enough time to charge while doing 3 crouching lights. Hope this helps :)
So, I can see it's almost two years since this video came out, but I got KoF XV in the Steam sale just now and was wondering if someone could help me understand two things (didn't find an answer in this video or the basics one by roofle): 1. When I do a target combo with three light punches and then press a fourth time, either LP, HP or HK I automatically get a super if I have the bar, without any movement inputs whatsoever (Level 1, 2 or 3 depending on the fourth button pressed). So I can surely condition myself to avoid that combo entirely or to just stop mashing after the third LP (from what I understand going by this video this isn't very optimal anyway) but I was wondering why it is that way and whether there's a possibility in the options somewhere to turn that automatic combo into supers off? 2. In some combos I more or less automatically seem to cancel into special moves doing some (or even no?) motion inputs that then produce a completely different special move - like doing a quarter circle back or just holding back and I suddenly get a DP?? I don't get this at all. I kept a close eye on the inputs on the left side and clearly didn't do anything even remotely resembling a DP - so is there also some kind of auto-combo system, similar to what seems to be happening in the case above with the supers?
@rooflemonger Hey there fellow monke! Are you going to make Maxima guide? Was labbing him and found out that heavy vapor cannon lost super armor. (Ye,ye, guard points)
hey roofle can you help me out? In the trailer for clark it showed that he had armor on his punch+kick move that led to a stun state if done correctly but ive been toying around with it and i cant see if this move has armor properties at all. Also i saw you mention on Twitter that only his grabs have armour. Was this taken away from him since the trailer? Or am i miss understanding something obvious? Goin crazy bro help lol
I love this game way better then XIV. But I really hope in the next game they add drive cancels back. I think in max mode you should be able to cancel specials into specials like the old games. That be really cool. I think there gonna add that back in the next kof. I def do miss the drive cancels from kof 13 and 2002um.Even though 2002um execution is on a diffrent level was still fun to try and when you got it felt good. I kinda hate that there taking out stuff like 1 frame links from games. Cause you didn't need them but just another slight more damaging route if you were feeling frisky. sf4 did this really well. kinda miss that old stuff. But games getting more accessible and stuff being easier to execute is also a good thing. But I would love if games had both ways. Like accent core plus r you can get good at roman cancel timing and get the perfect cancel where it uses less meter or just use the normal one for a little more meter but both lead to the same combo. Just little nuisances like that from the 90s and early 2000s I miss. I was a 90s kid so grew up with all that.

Are you by chance going to do combo vids for the WHOLE cast? (Obviously that sounds like a buttload of work, but just curious)
Great videos! Very helpful. If you are doing more character videos, my votes are for Athena, Joe, and Robert.
First KOF and have a really tough time adjusting. Feels like a completely different beast than SF and GG. I won’t give up easily though!
Its def a lot closer to SF than GG, but yeah KoF is its own thing for sure. However if you have any SF background I don't think its that big of an adjustment in the end past the mobility options.
This is my first KOF too. I love it so far but I’m amazed at how different the neutral feels compared to SF. Plus the execution on KOF feels a lot stricter.
What characters are you playing? @bartosz
Agreed I never played a new kof and heavy characters but the game and king of dinosaurs feels so good.
I was a great player of SF (including alpha/zero 2/3 and many other Capcom/SF vs) until I Discovered KOF, this system is amazing. More fast and fun
Thank you, Rooflemonger! I've been fiending for any content about KoF 15 ESPECIALLY learning content.

Thank you sensei, figuring out the combo system has been a real struggle. This will help a ton.
Thanks for this! Only ever really gotten into NRS, and this looks similar in some ways but also very different lol can't wait to try it out tomorrow!
Still getting used to playing KOF again, but I’m loving it. Your recent videos have been a huge help. Thanks, man!
Sheesh, the Mai flex combo, time to use :) thanks for the awesome video!
thanks for the button hold trick, makes the super/climax cancels in missions a lot easier.
I needed this. I am getting use to the movement in the game and trying meaties and other stuff. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of these explanations, i was struggling badly but finally feel like i am slowly but surely getting a hang of things.

so raw shatter strike does not scale damage neat, but landing it is kinda tough depending on opponent.
Its meant to be a counter attack, thats why it has multiple hits of armour. Use it in the middle of a blockstring, anti air, or whenever you feel there is an attack
Ironically this is now how strive works with command normal confirms at least.
Great content
started with 14 and then dropped to go back to mkx. Hopefully I have more success with this game.
I haven’t played KOF since 13, it seemed like it was going downhill. I saw Combo Breaker for 15 and figured I’ll give it a shot.
new kof player here, can say the timing to connect the hits is so harsh for new player, but oh well the new rush system is so forgiving for newer player hahaha
I think I get the basics of combo building but i struggle a lot getting in without being punished
My biggest issue is how accurate you have to put in the inputs, it's frustrating but I want to get into KoF. So used to NRS games, SF and DBFZ. Need something new 😤
For stuff like Meitenkun first mission where it's crouch light punch 3 times into holding left charge to right punch, how do I get a charge/holding move to connect if I'm holding down for the first three punches?
If you charge down back as you do the crouching punches that counts as charging the move. Then when you’ve done the punches, just hit forward or up and your charge move will come out. You only have to charge for half a second so that should be enough time to charge while doing 3 crouching lights. Hope this helps :)
@@i.ftekhar so for that first three crouch punches I only need to crouch for the first and the next two will link for me to hold back?
So, I can see it's almost two years since this video came out, but I got KoF XV in the Steam sale just now and was wondering if someone could help me understand two things (didn't find an answer in this video or the basics one by roofle):
1. When I do a target combo with three light punches and then press a fourth time, either LP, HP or HK I automatically get a super if I have the bar, without any movement inputs whatsoever (Level 1, 2 or 3 depending on the fourth button pressed).
So I can surely condition myself to avoid that combo entirely or to just stop mashing after the third LP (from what I understand going by this video this isn't very optimal anyway) but I was wondering why it is that way and whether there's a possibility in the options somewhere to turn that automatic combo into supers off?
2. In some combos I more or less automatically seem to cancel into special moves doing some (or even no?) motion inputs that then produce a completely different special move - like doing a quarter circle back or just holding back and I suddenly get a DP?? I don't get this at all. I kept a close eye on the inputs on the left side and clearly didn't do anything even remotely resembling a DP - so is there also some kind of auto-combo system, similar to what seems to be happening in the case above with the supers?
@rooflemonger Hey there fellow monke! Are you going to make Maxima guide? Was labbing him and found out that heavy vapor cannon lost super armor. (Ye,ye, guard points)
hey roofle can you help me out? In the trailer for clark it showed that he had armor on his punch+kick move that led to a stun state if done correctly but ive been toying around with it and i cant see if this move has armor properties at all. Also i saw you mention on Twitter that only his grabs have armour. Was this taken away from him since the trailer? Or am i miss understanding something obvious? Goin crazy bro help lol
What you're talking about is 236+CD, not just CD. And its a universal move not exclusive to Clark, and it takes 1 meter
I have been trying the input for climax super special moved and it does not come out so matter what I do.
I love this game way better then XIV. But I really hope in the next game they add drive cancels back. I think in max mode you should be able to cancel specials into specials like the old games. That be really cool. I think there gonna add that back in the next kof. I def do miss the drive cancels from kof 13 and 2002um.Even though 2002um execution is on a diffrent level was still fun to try and when you got it felt good. I kinda hate that there taking out stuff like 1 frame links from games. Cause you didn't need them but just another slight more damaging route if you were feeling frisky. sf4 did this really well. kinda miss that old stuff. But games getting more accessible and stuff being easier to execute is also a good thing. But I would love if games had both ways. Like accent core plus r you can get good at roman cancel timing and get the perfect cancel where it uses less meter or just use the normal one for a little more meter but both lead to the same combo. Just little nuisances like that from the 90s and early 2000s I miss. I was a 90s kid so grew up with all that.
