The mistakes of other FGs players trying KOF15

SFV, Tekken 7, GG strive, SC6 players trying KOF 15 and complain "it is too hard, xxx character is broken, I can't win, execution is still too hard"
KOF is the hardest FG in the world but what should you avoid to help with your experience?

Excellent points with regards to defensive shatter-strike use and short hop mechanics. Whenever I get friends into KOF, I encourage them to run short hop drills. Then once they've got them down it's time for short hop into hit confirms. Once they've got that down, short hop into combos. You can see the light bulb moment: "Ohhhhh, this is his KOF is supposed to be played!" 💡

As always pretty accurate, I wanted to play online so bad but I knew I would be destroyed because my team on KOF 14 is completely gone on 15. So I went for the training mode to learn some combos, block strings and jumped online after a few days and it worked!
Thanks for your advice, keep up the good work!

What up Naz

I would say at least 80 percent of new players' struggles would be simplified by just learning the system. If you know and understand your movement options and your defensive options, that baseline knowledge will help you survive FUNDAMENTALLY in a good chunk of your matches, and what makes KOF such a good series is that the entire cast has access to these mechanics. Universal, with small tweaks and variances depending on the character who uses them. THAT is what solid game balance looks like.
