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.

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.

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.

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.
